AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT A
The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
I. Background to Amendment
The Borrower, the Guarantors, the Banks and the Agent desire
to amend the Credit Agreement to increase the amount of the letter
of credit subfacility.
II. Credit Agreement Amendments
(A) Section 2.8.1 is deleted and restated in its entirety as follows:
"2.8.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit.
Borrower may request the issuance of letters of credit (each a
"Letter of Credit") on behalf of itself or another Loan Party by
delivering to the Agent a completed application and agreement for
letters of credit in such form as the Agent may specify from time to time
by no later than 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, at least three (3) Business
Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent, in advance
of the proposed date of issuance. Except for the Second Xxxxxxx Letter
of Credit (as defined in Subsection 2.8.10, below), each Letter of Credit
shall be either a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of
Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the
agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.8, the Agent
will issue a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter of Credit shall
(A) have a maximum maturity of thirty-six (36) months from the date of
issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than ten (10) Business Days
prior to the Expiration Date and further provided that in no event shall
(i) the Letter of Credit Outstanding exceed, at any one time, $8,000,000
or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the
Revolving Credit Commitments. The Existing Letters of Credit will be
cancelled on the Closing Date or replaced by Letters of Credit. The
Existing Letters of Credit are not "Letters of Credit" hereunder, but
the Second Xxxxxxx Letter of Credit constitutes a "Letter of Credit"
hereunder (subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.8.10)."
