3D.3 Annealing may request an Advance under this Section 3D upon the delivery to Lender of a Request for Equipment Line Advance executed by an authorized officer of Annealing, subject to the following:

(a) each such Request for Equipment Line Advance shall set forth the information required on the Request for Equipment Advance form annexed hereto as Exhibit “H” and shall attach a copy of the invoice(s) of the equipment to be purchased with the proceeds of the Advance;

3D.4 The initial Advance under the Equipment Line Note in the amount of approximately $4,565,000 shall be used to renew and extend indebtedness outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement, and to fund the Maxco Loan. Thereafter, the proceeds of Advances under the Equipment Line Note shall be used solely to finance the purchase of equipment for use in Annealing’s business.

3E. THE INDEBTEDNESS: EQUIPMENT TERM LOAN

3E.3 The proceeds of the Equipment Term Note shall be used solely to renew and extend the indebtedness outstanding on the Equipment Line Note on the Equipment Line Maturity Date.

3E.4 The Equipment Line Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate. Monthly payments of interest shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period, commencing on the last day of the first Interest Period, and thereafter on the last day of each subsequent Interest Period. The LIBOR Rate, the Interest Period, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Lender’s records, which records will be presumed correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Equipment Term Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal three percent (3%) above the LIBOR Rate until the end of the then current Interest Period, at which time the Equipment Term Note shall bear interest at the rate of three percent (3%) above the Prime-based Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note and the Equipment Line Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3%) above the Prime Rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

4.2 (a) At their option and upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written, telephonic or telegraphic notice to the Lender, the Companies may prepay any portion of any Term Note in whole at any time or in part from time to time, with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such prepayment. All prepayments of a Term Note made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period will be without premium or penalty. Any other prepayment will be subject to the provisions of Section 13.1.

(b) Term Loan A shall be subject to required principal reductions in the amount of 15% of Excess Cash Flow, payable in respect of each fiscal quarter (but based on Excess Cash Flow for the four fiscal quarters then ending) from and including the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2006, and each fiscal quarter thereafter until Term Loan A has been paid in full, on the next installment due date under Term Loan A after the earlier of (i) the date of delivery of the Companies’ quarterly financial statements pursuant to Section 8.1(d) hereof for such fiscal quarter and (ii) 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. Unless paid on the due date thereof, all such payments shall be subject to Section 13.1.

(c) (i) Upon at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Lender, Companies may at their option terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination shall be effective until Companies have paid all of the Indebtedness in immediately available funds. Any such notice of termination given by Companies shall be irrevocable and Companies shall be required to pay, on the termination date contained in such notice, all of the Indebtedness, in immediately available funds.

(ii) On the effective date of any such termination (but only if such termination is effective prior to August 28, 2009), Companies shall pay to Lender a termination charge (in addition to the then outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), as liquidated damages for the loss of bargain and not as a penalty, in the amount of the Termination Charge Percentage of the Maxco Loan Amount.

As used in this Section 4.2(c)(ii), the following terms shall have the defined meanings below:

(iii) All of the Indebtedness shall be due and payable upon any termination of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, no termination shall in any way affect or impair the rights, powers or privileges of Lender or the obligations, duties or liabilities of Companies in any way relating to (a) any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination or (b) any of the undertakings, agreements, covenants or warranties of Companies contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document. All of such undertakings, agreements, covenants and warranties of Companies shall survive such termination and Lender shall retain its liens and security interest in all collateral and its rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until Companies have paid the Indebtedness to Bank in full, in immediately available funds.

(d) Each partial prepayment of any Term Note shall be applied to the principal payments due thereunder in the inverse order of their maturities.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS, CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES AND YIELD PROTECTION - REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

5.1 For any period for which the applicable interest rate is the LIBO Rate, if Lender shall designate a LIBOR Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of Lender, Lender shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on the books of such LIBOR Lending Office.

5.2 In the event that Lender determines that by reason of (a) any change arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank eurocurrency market or affecting the position of Lender with respect to such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Daily Fluctuating LIBO Rate then being determined is to be fixed, (b) any change arising after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or any interpretation thereof, including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation or order), or (c) any other circumstances affecting Lender or the interbank eurocurrency market (such as, but not limited to, official reserve requirements required by Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), the Daily Fluctuating LIBO Rate plus the applicable spread shall not represent the effective pricing to Lender of accruing interest based upon the Daily Fluctuating LIBO Rate, then, and in any such event, the accrual of interest hereunder based upon the Daily Fluctuating LIBO Rate shall be suspended until Lender shall notify Annealing that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and beginning on the date of such suspension interest shall accrue hereunder at a variable rate of interest per annum, equal to the Prime Rate.

5.3 In the event that on any date Lender shall have determined that accruing interest hereunder based upon the Daily Fluctuating LIBO Rate has become unlawful by compliance by Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order, then, and in any such event, Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Annealing. In such case, when required by law, interest shall accrue hereunder at a variable rate of interest per annum equal to the Prime Rate.

5.4 If, due to (a) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other public authority (whether or not having the force of law), or (c) the failure of Annealing to pay any amount when required by the terms of this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Note, there shall be any loss or increase in the cost to Lender of accruing interest hereunder based upon the Daily Fluctuating LIBO Rate, then Annealing agrees that it shall, from time to time, upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender for such loss or increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such loss or increase cost, submitted to Annealing by Lender, shall be conclusive evidence, absent demonstrable error, of the correctness of such amount.

5.5 A late installment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late installment (but not balloon payments)under any Note may be charged on any installment (but not balloon) payment not received by Lender within ten (10) calendar days after the installment due date but acceptance of this charge shall not waive any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement.

10.6 Each Company hereby indemnifies, saves and holds Lender and any of its past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives and consultants harmless from any and all loss, damages, suits, penalties, costs, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable investigation, environmental audit(s), and legal expenses) arising out of any claim, loss or damage to any property, injuries to or death of persons, contamination of or adverse affects on the environment, or any violation of any applicable Environmental Laws, caused by or in any way related to any property owned or operated by either Company, or due to any acts of either Company or its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, consultants and/or representatives; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not be applicable when arising solely from events or conditions occurring while the Lender is in sole possession (subject to the rights of any creditors of Companies) of such property.

It is expressly understood and agreed that the indemnifications granted herein are intended to protect Lender, its past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, employees, consultants and representatives from any claims that may arise by reason of the security interest, liens and/or mortgages granted to Lender, or under any other document or agreement given to secure repayment of any indebtedness from Companies, whether or not such claims arise before or after Lender has foreclosed upon and/or otherwise become the owner of any such property. All obligations of indemnity as provided hereunder shall be secured by the collateral documents.

It is expressly agreed and understood that the provisions hereof shall and are intended to be continuing and shall survive the repayment of any indebtedness from Companies to Lender.

10.7 Each Company shall maintain all permits, licenses and approvals required under applicable Environmental Laws.

(h) judgment(s) for the payment of money in excess of the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate shall be rendered against either Company and any such judgment(s) shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed by appeal or otherwise for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days from the date of its entry and any such judgment is not covered by insurance from a solvent insurer who is defending such action without reservation of rights;

(i) the occurrence of any “reportable event”, as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and any amendments thereto, which is determined to constitute grounds for termination by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation of any employee pension benefit plan maintained by or on behalf of either Company for the benefit of any of its employees or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such plan and is reasonably likely that the occurrence of such event would result in a material adverse effect on either Company and such reportable event is not corrected and such determination is not revoked within thirty (30) days after notice thereof has been given to the plan administrator or either Company; or the institution of proceedings by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to terminate any such employee benefit pension plan or to appoint a trustee to administer such plan; or the appointment of a trustee by the appropriate United States District Court to administer any such employee benefit pension plan;

(k) if BCGW shall revoke the BCGW Guaranty, or attempt to do so.

then, or at any time thereafter, unless such default is remedied, Lender may give notice to Companies declaring all outstanding indebtedness hereunder and under the Notes to be due and payable, whereupon all indebtedness then outstanding hereunder and under the Notes shall immediately become due and payable without further notice and demand, and Lender shall not be obligated to make further Advances under this Agreement.

11.2 If a creditors’ committee shall have been appointed for the business of either Company; or if either Company shall have made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall have been adjudicated bankrupt, or shall have filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or to effect a plan or arrangement with creditors; or shall file an answer to a creditor’s petition or other petition filed against it, admitting the material allegations thereof for an adjudication in bankruptcy or for reorganization; or shall have applied for or permitted the appointment of a receiver, or trustee or custodian for any of its property or assets; or such receiver, trustee or custodian shall have been appointed for any of its property or assets and such receiver, trustee or custodian so appointed shall not have been discharged within thirty (30) days after the date of his appointment or if an order shall be entered and shall not be dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days from its entry, approving any petition for reorganization of either Company, then the Notes and all indebtedness then outstanding hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable and Lender shall not be obligated to make further Advances under this Agreement.

11.3 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have and may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies for which provision is made for a secured party under the UCC, under the Security Agreement or under any other document contemplated hereby or for which provision is provided by law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to take possession and sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the collateral and to set off against the Indebtedness any amount owing by Lender to Companies and/or any property of Companies in possession of Lender. Each Company agrees, upon request of Lender, to assemble the collateral and make it available to Lender at any place designated by Lender.

11.4 All of the Indebtedness shall constitute one loan secured by Lender’s security interest in the collateral and by all other security interests, mortgages, liens, claims, and encumbrances now and from time to time hereafter granted from Companies to Lender. Lender may in its sole discretion apply the collateral to any portion of the Indebtedness. The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral authorized by this Agreement shall be applied by Lender, first upon all expenses authorized by the Michigan Uniform Commercial Code (or other applicable law) or otherwise in connection with the sale and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender; the balance of the proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be applied in the payment of the Indebtedness, first to interest, then to principal, then to other Indebtedness and the surplus, if any, shall be paid over to Companies or to such other Person or Persons as may be entitled thereto under applicable law. Companies shall remain liable for any deficiency, which Companies shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand.

11.5 The remedies provided for herein are cumulative to the remedies for collection of the Indebtedness as provided by law, in equity or by any mortgage, security agreement or other document contemplated hereby. Nothing herein contained is intended, nor shall it be construed, to preclude Lender from pursuing any other remedy for the recovery of any other sum to which Lender may be or become entitled for the breach of this Agreement by Companies.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

All of said amounts required to be paid by Companies may, at Lender’s option, be charged by Lender as an advance against the proceeds of the Notes. All costs, including actual attorney fees incurred by Lender in protecting or enforcing any of its or any of the Lender’s rights against Companies or any collateral or in defending Lender from any claims or liabilities by any party or otherwise incurred by Lender in connection with an event of default or the enforcement of this Agreement or the related documents, including by way of description and not limitation, such charges in any court or bankruptcy proceedings or arising out of any claim or action by any person against Lender which would not have been asserted were it not for Lender’s relationship with Companies hereunder, shall also be paid by Companies.

12.6 This Agreement and the Notes have been delivered at Troy, Michigan, and shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

12.7 No amendments or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by Companies therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement shall affect any other provision of this Agreement.

12.8 All sums payable by Companies to Lender under this Agreement or the other documents contemplated hereby shall be paid directly to Lender at its principal office set forth in Section 12.5 hereof in immediately available United States funds, without set off, deduction or counterclaim. In its sole discretion, Lender may charge any and all deposit or other accounts of Companies with Lender for all or a part of any Indebtedness then due; provided, however, that this authorization shall not affect Companies’ obligation to pay, when due, any Indebtedness whether or not account balances are sufficient to pay amounts due.

12.9 Any payment of the Indebtedness made by mail will be deemed tendered and received only upon actual receipt by Lender at the address designated for such payment, whether or not Lender has authorized payment by mail or any other manner, and shall not be deemed to have been made in a timely manner unless received on the date due for such payment, time being of the essence. Companies expressly assume all risks of loss or liability resulting from non-delivery or delay of delivery of any item of payment transmitted by mail or in any other manner. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter and until the entire amount then due has been paid, Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights conferred upon it herein upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Companies waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of Company. Companies agree that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against the Indebtedness in such manner as Lender may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Lender upon any of its books and records. Companies expressly agree that to the extent Lender receives any payment or benefit and such payment or benefit, or any part thereof, is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or benefit, the Indebtedness or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or benefit had not been made and, further, any such repayment by Lender, to the extent that Lender did not directly receive a corresponding cash payment, shall be added to and be additional Indebtedness payable upon demand by Lender.

12.10 In the event Companies’ obligation to pay interest on the principal balance of the Notes is or becomes in excess of the maximum interest rate which Companies are permitted by law to contract or agree to pay, giving due consideration to the execution date of this Agreement, then, in that event, the rate of interest applicable shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not of interest.

12.11 COMPANIES AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED. EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INDEBTEDNESS.

12.12 This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution hereof by Lender and Companies.

12.13 This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Prior Credit Agreement, which Prior Credit Agreement is fully superseded and amended and restated in its entirety hereby; provided, however, that the Indebtedness governed by the Prior Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect and provided further that this Agreement does not constitute a novation of such Indebtedness.

13.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS, CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES AND YIELD PROTECTION - TERM NOTES; PATRIOT ACT NOFICATION

13.1 If either Company makes any payment of principal with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Borrowing, Companies will pay the Prepayment Premium to Lender on demand.

13.2 If, with respect to an Interest Period for any LIBOR Borrowing, Lender determines in its sole discretion, that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market generally, deposits in United States dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to banks in the interbank Eurodollar market for such Interest Period, or the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding the LIBOR Borrowing for such Interest Period, Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Companies. Thereafter, until Lender gives notice to the Companies that such circumstances no longer exist, (a) the obligation of Lender to fund LIBOR Borrowings shall be suspended until such illegality is remedied, and (b) the Companies shall repay in full the then-outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Borrowings, together with accrued interest thereon, or such LIBOR Borrowings shall automatically be converted to the Prime Rate, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to each LIBOR Borrowing, and, in the event such conversion or repayment results in a financial charge to Lender, Companies will pay the Prepayment Premium to Lender on demand.

13.3 If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Borrowings, Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Companies. Thereafter, (a) the obligation of Lender to fund LIBOR Borrowings shall be suspended until such illegality is remedied, and (b) the Companies shall repay in full the then-outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Borrowings, together with accrued interest thereon, or such LIBOR Borrowings shall automatically be converted to the Prime Rate, either: (1) on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Borrowings, or (2) immediately if Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Borrowings until such date, and, in the event such conversion or repayment results in a financial charge to Lender, Companies will pay the Prepayment Premium to Lender on demand.

13.4 If any governmental authority or regulatory agency, central bank or other comparable authority, shall at any time impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, the Reserve Requirement or any other reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender to Companies, or shall impose on Lender or the interbank Eurodollar market any other condition, guideline or request affecting LIBOR Borrowings, any Term Note or Lender’s obligation to make advances of LIBOR Borrowings, and the result of any of the foregoing, shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Borrowings, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under any Term Note by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then, within five (5) days after demand by Lender, Companies shall pay to Lender as additional interest such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Lender’s determination of amounts payable under this Section shall be calculated as though Lender funded the applicable LIBOR Borrowings through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit of the type, maturity and amount corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Base LIBOR Rate with respect to such LIBOR Borrowing, whether or not Lender in fact purchased such deposit. In such event, Lender shall have the option to immediately terminate Companies’ right to request LIBOR Borrowings, and the unpaid balance of any outstanding LIBOR Borrowings, with accrued interest at the highest rate permitted to be charged by stipulation in writing between Lender and Companies, at the option of Lender, shall immediately become due and payable. The obligations of the Companies under this Section shall survive payment of the Loans and termination of this Agreement.

13.5 If Lender shall determine that the adoption, amendment or revision of any applicable law, rule or regulation affecting Lender’s capital requirements or adequacy with respect to any Term Note, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority or regulatory agency, central bank or other comparable authority, or compliance by Lender with any applicable law, rule or regulation affecting Lender’s capital requirements or adequacy with respect to any Term Note, or any request, interpretation or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental authority or regulatory agency, central bank or other comparable authority which affects Lender’s capital requirements with respect to any Term Note, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below the rate of return Lender would have realized in the absence of such adoption, amendment, revision, interpretation, administration or compliance (taking into account Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount considered by Lender to be material, then, upon demand by Lender, Companies shall pay to Lender as additional interest or as fees, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction in its rate of return. Such adjustments in interest or fees shall be imposed upon Lender’s demand and shall apply to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loans and to subsequent advances under this Agreement. In determining such amount or amounts, Lender shall use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. A certificate of Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

13.6 In accordance with the requirements of this Section 13, if any Term Note shall bear interest at the Prime Rate, then interest shall be payable monthly on the unpaid principal balance of such Notes from time to time outstanding, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the date on which the Prime Rate becomes effective. Interest shall be computed on a daily basis using a year of 360 days, and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation effect shall be given to any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Prime Rate on the date of such change in the Prime Rate.

13.7 The following notification is provided to Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Companies: When either Company opens an account, the Lender will ask for such Company’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Lender to identify such Company. The Lender may also ask any Company’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

WITNESS the due execution hereof as of the day and year first above written.

ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Atmosphere Annealing

October 30, 2003

North ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Indiana

Letter of Warning from IDEM Air Section Chief on March 30,1998 and Draft Permit identifying enforcement issues dated February 11, 2001. These air issues, which relate to permit of shot blast equipment, were resolved without penalty by making an acknowledgment of new air requirements in accordance with IDEM’s August 24, 2001 letter.

Property was identified as contaminated upon acquisition in about 1995, and immediate predecessor of current Atmosphere Annealing performed response actions that cleaned up contamination after acquisition.

The Company site is a property under Indiana law because it routinely supplies Section 312 reports under 42 USC 11022.

IDEM Air Compliance Branch sent violation letter for failure to send a compliance certification. The Company will comply and send it.

In January 2004, IDEM requested additional documentation for the annual compliance certification filed for calendar year 2003. Atmosphere Annealing provided the requested documentation to resolve the issue.

In February 2005, IDEM issued a letter accepting the Atmosphere Annealing “notice of intent” letter that requested coverage under an updated general storm water discharge permit.

In March 2006, IDEM issued a notice of violation because the annual compliance certification for calendar year 2004 had not been filed. Atmosphere Annealing subsequently filed the required certification.

Canton, Ohio

Letter of Violation issued April 21, 2003 by Ohio EPA related to alleged hazardous waste regulations. The Company replied to the allegations, and the Ohio EPA on October 14, 2003 found that the Company had “returned to compliance”.

In 2006, power-washing the concrete containment in the area near the hazardous waste accumulation tank completed closure of the hazardous waste management unit comprised of the tank and containment. OEPA does not need to approve this action or the completion of closure.

Company received notices of violations of its sewer use permit from Canton’s Water Pollution Control Center on December 29, 1998; January 21, 1999; December 22, 1999; July 21, 2000; July 13, 2001; January 16, 2002; December 6, 2002, and July 8, 2003. The Company has responded and where necessary corrected the alleged violations.

Some contamination was cleaned up at time of acquisition in 1985 by current Atmosphere Annealing’s immediate predecessor.

Lansing, Michigan

Mt. Hope Street facility

Letter of Violation in 2000 from MDEQ Air Quality Division alleging nuisance emissions. Company investigated allegations and concluded that the allegations were unsubstantiated and were unlikely to recur even if they were substantiated. No further written notice has been sent.

MDEQ communication in 2003 regarding odor complaint by alleged neighbor. The company has not found any proof to support claim, although it is considering some minor changes to exhaust stacks.

MDEQ Waste Management Division sent letter of warning alleging certain waste reporting and recordkeeping violations. The Company has resolved the allegations per the MDEQ WMD=s letter of December 11, 1998.

In November 2005, a piece of metal punctured a diesel fuel tank on a truck picking up parts at the plant. The fuel ran onto a paved area and some of it flowed off the pavement into the soil. In March 2006 the imported soil was excavated and transported for offsite disposal at the Venice Park Landfill in Lennon, Michigan. Verification sampling was done and PM Environmental recommended that no further site investigation was needed.

Certain Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) have been identified in a Phase I ESA Report dated December 10, 2004. The RECs have been investigated the results of which are included in a Phase II ESA Report dated October 20, 2005, and a Phase II ESA/Asbestos Inspection Report dated February 14, 2006. A Due Care Plan has been completed. All of these reports were prepared by PM Environmental, Inc. and copies have been provided to The Huntington National Bank.

Certain asbestos containing materials were identified in an Asbestos Inspection Report dated January 20, 2006. Those materials were found to be non-friable and no immediate response was required. An Operations and Maintenance Plan has been completed.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Street facility

Atmosphere Annealing was identified as potentially responsible party (PRP) by US EPA for generating material allegedly released at AABCO facility in Detroit, Michigan, which resulted in the United States incurring response costs. The company later paid $3,000 to PRP group to resolve claims for these response costs.

The Company, as a result of a RCRA inspection, received notice in December 2001 about RCRA violations related to containers, reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The Company’s consultant indicates that those items have been resolved.

In June 2005, MDEQ issued a letter of violation because the operating differential pressure of the acid gas scrubber was less than that specified in the permit. Atmosphere Annealing modified the permit to reflect the actual operating pressure, which was an administrative change that had no effect on the performance of the scrubber system.

DOT inspection in November 2003 revealed that the regulations require the plant to have a transportation security plan (TSP) because of periodic shipments of hazardous materials that are byproducts of the phosphate line. Atmosphere Annealing subsequently prepared a TSP.

Certain Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) have been identified in a Phase I ESA Report dated December 10, 2004. No further investigation has been done to date. This report was prepared by PM Environmental, Inc. and a copy has been provided to The Huntington National Bank.
