The Issuing Bank will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Issuing Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Credit Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.

(iv) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans as contemplated by Section 2.9, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing.

(f) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 12.5, each Loan Party hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

(i) Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the Issuing Bank, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for any of the following including, without limitation, any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Bank shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw 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, electronic 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 Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Issuing Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Bank be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

- 33 -

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender: (A) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing Bank to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (B) 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; (C) 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 Issuing Lender; (D) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a 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; (E) 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 (F) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuing Bank in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject to such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

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

SECTION 2.10 Increase in Revolving Credit Commitment.

(a) Request for Increase. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000); provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Ratable Share of such requested increase. Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) Notification by Agent; Additional Revolving Credit Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Loan Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional financial institutions (subject to the consent of the Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) to become Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel.

- 34 -

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Credit Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.10, the representations and warranties contained in subsection (a) of Section 6.9 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 10.1 and Section 10.2, and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(f) Prepayments upon Effectiveness of Increase. The Borrower shall prepay (which may be with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans received on such date) any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Ratable Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section. To the extent any Lender (a “reducing Lender”) would be entitled to additional amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.6 (“breakage cost”), as a result its Revolving Credit Loan being subject to a prepayment described in the preceding sentence, the Lenders (including any new Lenders) which have increased their pro rata share of the Revolving Credit Commitment (each an “increasing Lender”) shall each pay to each such reducing Lender a portion of such reducing Lender’s breakage cost equal to the percentage of the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment represented by such increasing Lender’s increased Revolving Credit Commitment.

ARTICLE III

TERM LOANS

SECTION 3.1 Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including Section 7.2, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, on the Conversion Date, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Each Term Loan made by a Lender shall be made by converting a portion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment into such Term Loan.

- 35 -

SECTION 3.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans. The failure of any Lender to make a Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make a Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Lender hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after the Conversion Date. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right to repay and reborrow any Term Loan.

SECTION 3.3 Term Loan Principal Payments. The Borrower shall make payments on the principal amount of each Term Loan in equal quarterly installments, each in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of Term Loan Commitments, commencing on September 30, 2012, and thereafter on the last day of each March, June, September and December, with a final installment of any remaining principal amount payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

SECTION 3.4 Term Loan Notes. The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall, at the request of any Term Loan Lender, be evidenced by a Term Note payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Term Loan of such Lender.

ARTICLE IV

INTEREST RATES

SECTION 4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or portions thereof, as selected by the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, at either Interest Rate Option it selects, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and provided further that only the Base Rate Option shall apply to the Swing Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.

SECTION 4.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option:

- 36 -

(a) Amount of Borrowing Tranche. each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000; and

(b) Renewals. in the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.

SECTION 4.3 Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:

(a) Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. the Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9 or Section 4.1, respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum;

(b) Other Obligations. each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full; and

(d) Acknowledgment. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk. All such interest shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand by Agent.

SECTION 4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

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

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

(ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Rate, the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.

(b) Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law);

- 37 -

(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan; or

(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, then the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.

(c) Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4(a) the Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4(b), such Lender shall promptly so notify the Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option shall be suspended until the Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Agent, of the Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4 and the Borrower has previously notified the Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Agent of a determination under Section 4.4, the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.6, as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.4. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

SECTION 4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

- 38 -

SECTION 4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by First Commonwealth’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Loan Parties or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under Article XI or any other second of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS

SECTION 5.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 12:00 noon, 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 Borrower, 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 Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, with respect to the Swing Loans, and for the ratable accounts of (a) the Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, and (b) the Term Loan Lenders, with respect to the Term Loans, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders in immediately available funds. The Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

- 39 -

SECTION 5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing (other than Swing Loans) shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 4.4 in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4, Section 5.4 or Section 5.6) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding from each Lender and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to the Swing Loan Lender according to Article II.

SECTION 5.3 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month and on the Expiration Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, or upon acceleration of the Notes. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.5 shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

SECTION 5.4 Voluntary Prepayments and Reduction of Commitment.

(a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.4 below or in Section 5.6):

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

(ii) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies; and

(iii) on the date specified in a notice by any Lender pursuant to Section 4.4 with respect to any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies.

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

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

(y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Swing Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans; and

- 40 -

(z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than $500,000 for any Loan (or the outstanding amount if such Loan, if such amount is less than $500,000).

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be applied to the unpaid installments of principal of the Term Loans in the reverse order of scheduled maturities. Except as provided in Section 4.4, if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (A) first to Revolving Credit Loans and then to Term Loans, and (B) after giving effect to the allocations in clause (A) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.6.

(b) Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 or Section 5.6 or (ii) becomes a Defaulting Lender (each a “Replacement Event”), then the Borrower shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Lender in whole, together with all interest accrued thereon, and terminate such Lender’s Commitment within ninety (90) days after such Replacement Event; provided that the Borrower shall also pay to such Lender (unless such Lender is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection “(a)” or “(b)” of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”) at the time of such prepayment any amounts required under Section 5.6 and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related fees; provided, however, that the Commitment and any Term Loan of such Lender shall be provided by one or more of the remaining Lenders or a replacement bank acceptable to the Agent; provided, further, the remaining Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to increase their Commitments.

(c) Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section 4.4 or Section 5.6 with respect to such Lender, it will if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the rights of any Secured Party provided in this Agreement.

- 41 -

(d) Voluntary Reduction of Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent to permanently and ratably reduce, in whole multiples of $1,000,000 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 (i) the payment in full of any Commitment Fee and other fees then accrued on the amount of such reduction or termination, (ii) prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans (and the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize, if necessary, any Letters of Credit and pay, if necessary, any Swing Loans), together with the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.6), to the extent that the aggregate amount thereof then outstanding exceeds the Commitments as so reduced or terminated. From the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the obligations of Borrower to pay the Commitment Fee shall correspondingly be reduced or cease, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.5 Mandatory Prepayments and Reduction of Commitment.

(a) Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender will be automatically reduced, on the Conversion Date, by an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

(b) Sale of Assets; Debt Offerings. Immediately upon any (i) issuance of Indebtedness not authorized by Section 9.1, or (ii) sale of assets not authorized by Section 9.7, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of Loans equal to the amount of such Indebtedness or the proceeds of such sale (net of any estimated taxes, but subject to the Borrower’s requirement to true up any excess at the time of payment of such tax), as applicable. All prepayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall be applied, first, to payment in full of the principal amount of the Term Loans by application to the unpaid installments of principal in the reverse order of scheduled maturities, second, to the payment in full of the principal amount of all Revolving Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.6(b).

(c) Application Among Interest Rate Options. All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 5.6(b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

SECTION 5.6 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

(a) Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc. If any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in any Law, guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any central bank or other Official Body:

(i) subjects any Lender to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on the overall net income of such Lender);

- 42 -

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

(iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or letters of credit, other credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, any Lender, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations 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 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 Borrower and the Agent of the amount determined (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by such Lender to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such increase in cost, reduction of income, additional expense or reduced rate of return. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

(b) Indemnity. In addition to the compensation required by Section 5.6(a), each Loan Party 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 Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 or Section 4.2 or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.4 or notice relating to Commitment reductions under Section 5.4; or

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

- 43 -

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such 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 Loan Parties to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

ARTICLE VI

The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Agent and each of the Lenders as follows:

SECTION 6.1 Organization and Qualification.

(b) Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings. If an Event of Default specified under Section 11.1(n) or Section 11.1(o) shall occur, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank shall be under no further obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, respectively, hereunder and the unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder shall be immediately due and payable, and all without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and the Borrower shall immediately and automatically be required to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit as, in each case without further act of any Secured Party.

(f) Other Rights and Remedies. In addition to all of the rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by Law.

SECTION 12.3 Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist, and such duties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Lender, and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender expressly acknowledges (a) that the Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender; (b) that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance upon the Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement and the making and continuance of the Loans hereunder; and (c) except as expressly provided herein, that the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Loan or at any time or times thereafter.

SECTION 12.4 Actions in Discretion of Agent; Instructions From the Lenders. The Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, to take or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within the Agent’s rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take any such action, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders. Any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Lenders, subject to Section 12.6. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.6, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or in the absence of such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Agent.

SECTION 12.7 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Lenders.

In addition, each Lender agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the Obligation of any Loan Party to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and payable by the Loan Parties to the Agent in connection with the Agent’s periodic audit of the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties.

SECTION 12.8 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype message, facsimile, electronic transmission, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

- 86 -

SECTION 12.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”

SECTION 12.10 Notices. The Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender a copy of all written notices received from the Borrower which have been delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement upon receipt thereof.

SECTION 12.11 Lenders in Their Individual Capacities; Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to each of its Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and other extension of credit made by it and any other rights and powers given to it as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” and “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 12.13 Equalization of Lenders. The Lenders and the holders of any participations in any Loans agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts received by any Lender or any such holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any Note or under any such participation, whether received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or by any other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Lenders and such holders in proportion to their interests in payments hereunder, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4(c), Section 5.4(b) or Section 5.6. The Lenders or any such holder receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash from each of the other Lenders an interest in such Lender’s Loans in such amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Lenders and each such holder in the aggregate unpaid amount hereunder, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Lender or the holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase.

- 87 -

SECTION 12.14 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders.

Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” means such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII shall inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 12.15 Agent’s Fee. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay to the Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Agent’s Fee”) and other fees under the terms of a letter (the “Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and the Agent, as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time.

SECTION 12.16 Availability of Funds. The Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make the proceeds of a Loan available to the Agent unless the Agent shall have been notified by such Lender at least two (2) hours before the time on which the Agent actually funds the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section 12.16 or using proceeds deposited with the Agent by the Lenders and whether such funding occurs before or after the time on which Lenders are required to deposit the proceeds of such Loan with the Agent). The Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender (or, if such Lender fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable interest rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day period.

- 88 -

SECTION 12.17 Calculations. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Lender whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, the Agent, the Borrower and each affected Lender shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate (provided that the Borrower shall not be required to contribute any further amounts than it would have been required to pay if the error in question had not occurred).

SECTION 12.18 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures; (b) any recordkeeping; (c) comparisons with government lists; (d) customer notices; or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

SECTION 12.19 Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any of the Loan Parties.

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

SECTION 13.4 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 4.2 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, or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable if such Expiration Date or Term Loan Maturity 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.

SECTION 13.5 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

(a) Notional Funding. Each Lender shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this Section 13.5 means 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 Borrower to such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 5.6 than it would have been in the absence of such 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.

(b) Actual Funding. Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any Loan 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 13.5. If any Lender causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or maintained by such Lender, but in no event shall any Lender’s use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Lender or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 5.6) which would otherwise not be incurred.

SECTION 13.6 Notices. Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 13.6 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) in accordance with this Section 13.6. Any such Notice must be delivered to the applicable parties hereto at the addresses and numbers set forth under their respective names on Annex II or in accordance with any subsequent unrevoked Notice from any such party that is given in accordance with this Section 13.6. Any Notice shall be effective:

(ii) If given by mail, five (5) days after such Notice is deposited with the United States Postal Service, with first-class postage prepaid, return receipt requested;

(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;

(v) In the case of electronic transmission, when actually received; and

(vi) If given by any other means (including by overnight courier), when actually received.

Any Lender giving a Notice to a Loan Party shall concurrently send a copy thereof to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders of its receipt of such Notice.

SECTION 13.7 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.

SECTION 13.8 Governing Law. Each Commercial Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP, and each Standby Letter of Credit shall be subject to the ISP, as the same may be revised or amended from time to time, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and the balance of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

SECTION 13.17 Certifications From Lenders and Participants.

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

(b) USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.
