Interest Period, an Authorized Representative of the Borrower shall provide
the
Agent with written or telephonic notice (confirmed promptly, but in no event
later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, in writing) thereof on or before
10:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the third (3rd) Business
Day
prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. In the

Business Day thereafter, in writing) prior to 10:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania time) on the third (3rd) Business
Day
prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period for a Libor Rate
Loan,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have given notice that such portion of the
Term
Loan shall be converted into a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable
Interest Period. Each written notice of any Libor Rate Loan shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and the Borrower shall indemnify
the
Agent and the Banks against any loss or expense incurred by the Banks as
a
result of any failure by the Borrower to consummate such transaction calculated

a Libor Rate Loan as set forth in Section 2.02(d)(i); provided, however,
that no
portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Libor Rate Loan may be
renewed as or converted into a Libor Rate Loan of a different duration if
such
Libor Rate Loan relates to any Hedging Obligations. Any portion of
the Term Loan that is converted from a Libor Rate Loan into a Prime Rate
Loan
shall be converted, and shall begin to accrue interest with reference to
the
Prime Rate, on such Business Day and in such amount as an Authorized
Representative of the Borrower shall request by written or telephonic notice
(confirmed promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter,
in writing) received by the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania time) on the Business Day of the requested conversion of such
portion of the Term Loan into a Prime Rate Loan.
(iii) Upon
receipt of a Term Loan Notice or a request to renew or convert an interest
rate
option with respect to the Term Loan, the Agent shall promptly advise each
of
the Banks of its receipt of the Term Loan Notice or the request to renew
or
convert an interest rate option with respect thereto, the amount of the Term
Loan, the Interest Period thereof, as applicable, and the Bank's Pro Rata

of the Term
Loan, and on the last day of each successive Fiscal Quarter thereafter through

payments in Dollars to the Agent for the ratable account of the Banks in
such
amount as the Agent shall advise the Borrower prior to or on the first (1st) day

payment necessary to amortize the principal balance of the Term Loan over
a
period selected by the Borrower; provided, however, that such amortization
period shall not exceed five (5) years), plus accrued interest as set forth
in
Section 2.04 hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this

(confirmed promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter
in writing) received by the Swing Line Lender no later than 10:00 a.m.
(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of requested disbursement of

a
Revolving Credit Loan made by the Swing Line Lender, and such portion of
the
Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing
Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of the Swing
