(B) any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of the Letters of Credit; or

and if the result of any of the foregoing is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to an L/C Issuer of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by such an L/C Issuer, then and in any such case such an L/C Issuer may, at any time after the additional cost is incurred or the amount receivable is reduced, notify the Borrower and the Agent, and the Borrower shall pay on demand such amounts as such an L/C Issuer may specify to be necessary to compensate such an L/C Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of the notice of such event which results in such increased cost or reduction in amount receivable until payment in full thereof at a rate equal at all times to the Base Rate.

Greater than 2.0 to 1.0 but less than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0		1.75%

- 5 -

All adjustments shall be determined as of the date the Borrower’s quarterly financial statements and Compliance Certificate are required to be delivered pursuant to items (i) and (iii) of Section 6.02. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee from the Closing Date to and including the March 31, 2002 Delivery Date shall be 1.00%.

(c) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit and each increase in the Stated Amount thereof, each Lender hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase and shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased from the applicable L/C Issuer an undivided, full risk, non-recourse participation in such Letter of Credit and drawings thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that the L/C Issuer is required for any reason to refund or repay to the Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person all or any portion of any amount remitted to an L/C Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Lenders shall promptly remit to the applicable L/C Issuer, upon three (3) Business Days’ demand therefor, their respective Ratable Shares of the amount which is so refunded or repaid.

(d) In the event any restrictions are imposed upon any of the L/C Issuers or any of the Lenders by any Law of any Official Body having jurisdiction over the banking activities of the L/C Issuers or any Lender which would prevent any L/C Issuer from issuing the Letters of Credit or amending the Letters of Credit or would prevent any Lender from honoring its obligations under this Section 2.17, the commitment of such L/C Issuer to issue the Letters of Credit or enter into any amendment with respect thereto shall be immediately suspended. If any Lender believes any such restriction would prevent such Lender from honoring its obligations under this Section 2.17, it shall promptly notify the Agent. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the L/C Issuers and the other Lenders of the existence and nature of (i) any restriction which would cause the suspension of the commitment of any L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit or to enter into amendments with respect thereto and (ii) any restriction which would prevent any Lender from honoring its obligations under this Section 2.17. The Borrower will thereupon undertake reasonable efforts to obtain the cancellation of all affected outstanding Letters of Credit; provided, however, that the refusal of any beneficiary of an affected Letter of Credit to surrender such Letter of Credit will not be an Event of Default hereunder, provided that the Borrower shall undertake good faith efforts to obtain substitute letters of credit for the then existing and outstanding Letters of Credit. Nothing contained in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and, in the event of a suspension of the commitment of any L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit as set forth above, the Borrower may continue to borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments provided the requirements of Section 5.02 are complied with.

(e) When the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver a duly completed Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit to the applicable L/C Issuer, with a copy to the Agent, no later than 11:00 A.M. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) at least three (3) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable L/C Issuer, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 and, if applicable, Section 5.02, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be obligated to issue the Letter of Credit and shall notify the Agent and each Lender of such issuance. In determining whether to pay under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under the Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of the Letter of Credit.

(f) In the event of any request for drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse, or cause the reimbursement of, the applicable L/C Issuer on demand as set forth in the applicable Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit in an amount in same day funds equal to the amount of such drawing; provided, however, that anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer prior to such time that the Borrower intends to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for all or a portion of the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Loan Request to the Agent requesting the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans on the first Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the amount received by the applicable L/C Issuer from such other funds in reimbursement thereof (the “Unreimbursed L/C Draw”), plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Subsection 2.08. Any such Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed advanced to the Borrower. If the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Loan Request, then, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 5.02, the Lenders shall, all as set forth in Section 2.17(g)

- 6 -

hereof, on the first Business Day immediately following the date of such drawing, make Revolving Credit Loans in the aggregate amount of the Unreimbursed L/C Draw plus accrued interest on such amount at the applicable rate set forth in Section 2.08. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied directly by the Agent upon receipt from the Lenders to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the Unreimbursed L/C Draw plus accrued interest on such amount. The foregoing shall not limit or impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer on demand.

(g) In the event that the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer on demand as provided in the applicable Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit and Section 2.17(f) above in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit plus accrued interest, the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent and each Lender of the Unreimbursed L/C Draw plus accrued interest on such amount of such drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein. Each Lender shall make available to the applicable L/C Issuer an amount equal to its respective participation in same day funds, at the office of the applicable L/C Issuer specified in such notice, not later than 1:00 P.M. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the Business Day after the date specified in such notice by the applicable L/C Issuer. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the applicable L/C Issuer the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.17(g), the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.17(g) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover its Ratable Share of the Unreimbursed L/C Draw from the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by the applicable L/C Issuer constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable L/C Issuer. The applicable L/C Issuer shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.17(g) with respect to a Letter of Credit such other Lender’s Ratable Share of all payments received by the applicable L/C Issuer from the Borrower in reimbursement of drawing honored by the applicable L/C Issuer under the Letter of Credit when such payments are received.

(h) The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for all drawings upon the Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall not be subject to any right of set-off or counterclaim and shall be paid or performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the Loan Documents;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of any provision of all or any of the Loan Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), an L/C Issuer, the Agent or any Lender (other than the defense of payment to an L/C Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or document presented under any Letter of Credit, appearing on its face to be valid and sufficient, but proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(v) payment by an L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of any document which does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable L/C Issuer;

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, not resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer; and

(vii) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(i) This Agreement is intended to supplement each Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit executed by the Borrower and delivered to the L/C Issuer. Whenever possible this Agreement is to be construed as consistent with each Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit but, to the extent that the provisions of this Agreement and each Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(j) Existing Letters of Credit. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit issued by PNC Bank, National Association, as an L/C Issuer, and outstanding on such date for the account of the Borrower and identified on Schedule 2.17(j) shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder and shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower is hereby deemed to be the account party with respect to each such Letter of Credit for all purposes thereunder and hereunder. Each Lender agrees that its obligations with respect to Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement shall include such Existing Letters of Credit. With respect to each such Existing Letter of Credit, for the period commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay all fees and commissions set forth in this Agreement at the times and in the manner herein set forth. The obligations of the Borrower under each application for letter of credit and credit or reimbursement agreement (together with any related amendments) executed with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit are hereby expressly assumed by the Borrower and each such application for letter of credit and credit or reimbursement agreement, as amended, is hereby deemed an Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit executed and delivered hereunder. Such existing credit or reimbursement agreements shall be superseded in their entirety by this Agreement which shall apply to Existing Letters of Credit as well as all Letters of Credit issued hereunder on and after the Closing Date.

(k) Obligations Absolute. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender hereby agrees that its obligation to participate in each Letter of Credit issued in accordance herewith and its obligation to make the payments to be made by it under this Section 2.17 is absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any event, condition or circumstance whatever. The failure of any Lender to make any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its funding obligation hereunder on the date due, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to meet its funding obligations hereunder.

(l) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 2.17, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Agent and each L/C Issuer harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which the Agent or any L/C Issuer may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit or any amendment thereto, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) the failure of the applicable L/C Issuer to honor a draw under any Letter of Credit if the applicable L/C Issuer in good faith and upon advice of counsel believes that it is prohibited from making such payment as a result of any requirement of Law or of any Official Body, or (iii) any material breach by the Borrower of any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, any document related to the issuance or any amendment of the Letters of Credit. If any proceeding shall be brought or threatened against the Agent or an L/C Issuer by reason of or in connection with any event described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing, and the Borrower shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of all costs of litigation. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall have the right to employ their own counsel and to determine its own defense of such action in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Agent or an L/C Issuer, as the case may be, unless (x) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Borrower, (y) the Borrower, after the aforementioned notice of the action, shall not have employed counsel to have charge of such defense or (z) if the position of the Borrower is adverse or contrary to the position advocated by the Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be. In each case described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) immediately above the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be shall be borne by the Borrower. The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action affected without its consent.

(m) Each L/C Issuer is hereby expressly authorized and directed to honor any request for payment which is made under and in compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit without regard to, and without any duty on an

- 8 -

L/C Issuer’s part to inquire into, the existence of any disputes or controversies between the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, or the respective rights, duties or liabilities of any of them or whether any facts or occurrences represented in any of the documents presented under any applicable Letter of Credit are true or correct. Furthermore, the Borrower fully understands and agrees that an L/C Issuer’s sole obligation to the Borrower shall be limited to honoring requests for payment made under and in compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit therefor and this Agreement and the an L/C Issuer’s obligation remains so limited even if the applicable L/C Issuer may have assisted the Borrower in the preparation of the wording of any Letter of Credit or any documents required to be presented thereunder or that the applicable L/C Issuer may otherwise be aware of the underlying transaction giving rise to any Letter of Credit and this Agreement.

(n) As between the Borrower and an L/C Issuer, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the applicable Letters of Credit by, the beneficiaries of the applicable Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for or the issuance or amendment of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign the Letters 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) for failure of a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telecopy, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under the Letters of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of an L/C Issuer, including, without limitation, any Law; and (ix) for any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under a Letter of Credit; except that the Borrower shall have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and an L/C Issuer shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower by a court of competent jurisdiction to be the result of (i) an L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under an applicable Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) an L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in paying a draw under the applicable Letter of Credit to any Person other than the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or its lawful successor, representative or assign (or as otherwise directed in writing by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) an L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under an applicable Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or its lawful successor, representative or assign of a sight draft and certificate or other documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, unless such an L/C Issuer in good faith and upon advice of counsel believes that it is prohibited by law or other legal authority from making such payment. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of an L/C Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder.

(o) Except for an L/C Issuer’s obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder and its obligations under such Letters of Credit, an L/C Issuer shall have no liability to the Borrower from a reduction of such an L/C Issuer’s credit rating or any deterioration in its financial condition.

(p) The Borrower shall bear and pay all reasonable expenses of every kind (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the enforcement of any of an L/C Issuer’s rights under this Agreement or the Letters of Credit, or of any claim or demand by an L/C Issuer against the Borrower, or of any actual or attempted sale, exchange, enforcement, collection, maintenance, retention, insurance, compromise, settlement, release, delivery on trust receipt, or other security agreement, or delivery of any such security, and of the receipt of proceeds thereof, and will repay to each such L/C Issuer any such expenses incurred by such an L/C Issuer.

(q) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by an L/C Issuer under or in connection with the applicable Letters of Credit or the related sight drafts or certificates or documents, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such an L/C Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower.

- 9 -

(r) Whenever appropriate to prevent unjust enrichment and to the end that the Borrower shall bear substantially all of the risks relative to any Letter of Credit and the underlying transactions, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be subrogated (for purposes of defending against the Borrower’s claims and proceeding against others to the extent of the applicable L/C Issuer’s liability to the Borrower) to the Borrower’s rights against any Person who may be liable to the Borrower on any underlying transaction, to the rights of any holder in due course or Person with similar status against the Borrower, and to the rights of the beneficiary or its assignee or person with similar status against the Borrower.

(s) Except to the extent inconsistent with the specific provisions hereof, this Agreement, each Letter of Credit hereunder and all transactions in connection therewith shall be interpreted, construed and enforced according to: (i) as determined by the L/C Issuer, either (A) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, or (B) the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, and in each case and any amendments or revisions thereof, which in each case shall supersede inconsistent provisions of applicable law to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and (ii) the laws of the State of the office in which the L/C Issuer has recorded the issuance of the Letter of Credit in question, including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in such State, and excluding conflict of laws rules.

Except as expressly amended or waived by this First Amendment, the Original Credit Agreement and each and every representation, warranty, covenant, term and condition contained therein is specifically ratified and confirmed in all material respects. The Borrower expressly ratifies and confirms the waiver of jury trial provisions contained in the Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 4.02. References. All notices, communications, agreements, certificates, documents or other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of this First Amendment in connection with the Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby may refer to the Original Credit Agreement without making specific reference to this First Amendment, but nevertheless all such references shall include this First Amendment unless the context requires otherwise. After the execution and delivery of this First

- 16 -

Amendment by the Borrower and the effectiveness of this First Amendment, all references in the Original Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to the “Agreement” shall be deemed to be references to the Original Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

Section 4.03. Incorporation Into Original Credit Agreement. This First Amendment is deemed incorporated into, is to be construed in connection with and is made a part of, the Original Credit Agreement as of the First Amendment Effective Date. To the extent that any term or provision of this First Amendment is or may be deemed expressly inconsistent with any term or provision of the Original Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions hereof shall control.

Section 4.04. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in different counterparts, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be regarded as an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one First Amendment. Delivery of an executed signature page of a counterpart of this First Amendment by telecopier shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this First Amendment.

Section 4.05. Capitalized Terms. Except for proper nouns and as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein as defined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.

Section 4.06. Taxes. The Borrower hereby agrees (i) to pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this First Amendment and (ii) to save the Documentation Agents, the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

Section 4.07. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and the disbursements of the Agent’s special counsel, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, P.C.) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this First Amendment and the related documents.

Section 4.08. Severability. Any provision of this First Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or enforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 4.09. Governing Law. THIS FIRST AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PROVISIONS THEREOF REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAW.

Section 4.10. Headings. The headings of the sections in this First Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 4.11. Acknowledgment of Amendment of the Revolving Credit Note. Each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent acknowledge, agree and confirm that as of the First Amendment Effective Date each Revolving Credit Note executed and delivered by the Borrower to the Lenders in connection with the Original Credit Agreement shall, and hereby is, amended to extend the stated maturity date of such Revolving Credit Note to May 31, 2008; and a counterpart original of this First Amendment, or copy hereof, may be attached to the Revolving Credit Note of a Lender as further evidence thereof.

Section 4.12. First Amendment Effective Date Adjustment of Commitments. Effective on the First Amendment Effective Date, the Revolving Credit Commitment (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and the risk participation in outstanding Letters of Credit of each Non-Extending Bank shall be deemed to have been permanently terminated in full upon receipt by such Non-Extending Bank of the payment of any outstanding

- 17 -

amounts due to such Bank thereunder, whereupon Agent shall make such adjustments to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Original Lenders (other than the Non-Extending Banks) such that the amount of their Revolving Credit Commitments and risk participations in outstanding Letters of Credit are in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages as modified by this First Amendment. Agent shall request that each Non-Extending Bank promptly return its promissory note executed in connection with the Original Credit Agreement to Borrower. Each Lender that was an Original Lender under the Original Credit Agreement shall promptly return its promissory note executed in connection with the Original Credit Agreement to Borrower.
