Principles.


 


Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, all computations and determinations as to
accounting or financial matters and all financial statements to be delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP
(including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting
or financial terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP; provided,
however, that all accounting terms used in Section 8.2 [Negative
Covenants] (and all defined terms used in the definition of any accounting term
used in Section 8.2) shall have the meaning given to such terms (and
defined terms) under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof applied on a basis
consistent with those used in preparing the Annual Statements referred to in Section 6.1.9(i) [Historical
Statements].  In the event of any change
after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would result in the inability
to determine compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.2
based upon the Borrower’s regularly prepared financial statements by reason of
the preceding sentence, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good
faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would adjust such
financial covenants in a manner that would not affect the substance thereof,
but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the
Borrower’s financial statements at that time.


 


2.             REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY


 


2.1           Revolving
Credit Commitments.


 


Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans
to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to
the Expiration Date, provided that after giving effect to such Loan the
aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender shall not exceed
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of
the Letters of Credit Outstanding.  Within
such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.  The aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments on the Closing Date is $125,000,000.  Revolving Credit Loans shall be available to
the Borrower solely for the purposes set forth in Section 8.1.10.


 


2.2           Nature
of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans.


 


Each Lender shall
be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant
to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] in accordance with its
Ratable Share.  The aggregate of each
Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any
time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share
of the Letters of Credit Outstanding. 
The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several.  The failure of any Lender to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any
other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender
to perform its obligations hereunder. 
The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.


 


25

















 


2.3           Commitment
Fees.


 


Accruing from the
date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent
for the account of each Lender, as consideration for such Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment hereunder, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment
Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the average daily difference
between the amount of:  (i) such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as the same may be constituted from time
to time and (ii) the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding plus its Ratable Share of Letters of Credit Outstanding.  All Commitment Fees shall be payable in
arrears on the first day of each October, January, April and July, after
the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Loans.


 


2.4           Intentionally
Deleted.


 


2.5           Revolving
Credit Loan Requests.


 


Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the
Expiration Date request the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or
convert the Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], by delivering to the Agent,
not later than 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, (i) three (3) Business
Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of
Revolving Credit Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies or the conversion
to or the renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for any Loans; and (ii) on the
proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan
to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding Interest
Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of
a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5
or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile
or telex in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the
Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic
request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation.  Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and
shall specify:  (i) the proposed
Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising
each Borrowing Tranche, which shall be in integral multiples of $2,000,000 and
not less than $2,000,000 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate
Option applies and not less than the lesser of $100,000 or the maximum amount
available for Borrowing Tranches to which the Base Rate Option applies; (iii) whether
the Euro-Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Loans
comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche; and (iv) in the case of a
Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies, an appropriate
Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche.


 


2.6           Making
Revolving Credit Loans.


 


The Agent shall,
promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5
[Revolving Credit Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such
Loan Request specifying:  (i) the
proposed Borrowing Date and the time and method of disbursement of the
Revolving Credit Loans requested thereby; (ii) the amount and type of each
such 


 


26

















 


Revolving Credit
Loan and the applicable Interest Period (if any); and (iii) the
apportionment among the Lenders of such Revolving Credit Loans as determined by
the Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 
[Nature of Lenders’ Obligations]. 
Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit
Loan to the Agent such that the Agent is able to, and the Agent shall, to the
extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject
to Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to
the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal
Office prior to 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the applicable Borrowing
Date, provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Agent
in a timely manner, the Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its
own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and
such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 10.16
[Availability of Funds].


 


2.7           Revolving
Credit Notes.


 


The Obligation of
the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall
be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note dated the Closing Date payable to the
order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment
of such Lender.


 


2.8           Use
of Proceeds.


 


The proceeds of
the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used in accordance with Section 8.1.10
[Use of Proceeds].


 


2.9           Letter
of Credit Subfacility.


 


2.9.1        Issuance
of Letters of Credit.


 


Borrower may request the
issuance of a letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) on behalf of itself
or another Loan Party by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to
the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Agent) a completed application and
agreement for letters of credit in such form as the Issuing Lender 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
Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance.  Promptly after receipt of any Letter of
Credit application, the Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of
Credit application and, if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Agent with
a copy thereof.  Borrower shall be bound
by the terms of all such applications and agreements regardless whether
delivered to Issuing Lender by Borrower or another Loan Party and, in the event
that such application and agreement is delivered by any other Loan Party,
Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated thereon with such Loan Party.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9,
the Issuing Lender will issue a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter of
Credit shall:  (A) have a maximum
maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no
event expire later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Expiration
Date and providing that in no event shall: 
(i) the Letters of 


 


27

















 


Credit Outstanding exceed, at any one time, $25,000,000 or (ii) the
Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit
Commitments.


 


2.9.2        Letter
of Credit Fees.


 


The Borrower shall
pay:  (i) to the Agent for the
ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the
Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate, and (ii) to any Issuing Lender for
its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.15%
per annum (in each case, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average
Letters of Credit Outstanding and shall be payable quarterly in arrears
commencing with the first day of each October, January, April and July following
issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date.  The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing
Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole account the Issuing Lender’s then in
effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the
Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time
to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any),
assignment or transfer (if any),  negotiation,
and administration of Letters of Credit. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate as set forth on Schedule 1.1(A) during
the period from the Closing Date through the Financials Delivery Date for the March 31,
2007 Compliance Certificate, shall not be less than the percentage margins
applicable to Level III as indicated in the pricing grid on Schedule 1.1(A).


 


2.9.3        Disbursements,
Reimbursement.


 


2.9.3.1     Immediately
upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing
Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in
an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available
to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.


 


2.9.3.2     In
the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the
Borrower and the Agent thereof.  Provided
that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement
Obligation”) the Issuing Lender through the Agent prior to 12:00 noon,
Pittsburgh time on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under
any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to
the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender. 
In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through
the Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by
12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the Agent will promptly
notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested
that Revolving Credit Loans in the amount of the unreimbursed drawing be made
by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date
under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of
the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2
[Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements.  Any notice given by the Agent or the Issuing
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.2 may be oral if immediately
confirmed in writing; 


 


28

















 


provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.


 


2.9.3.3     Each
Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.2 make available to
the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in immediately
available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing,
whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3.4)
each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option
to the Borrower in that amount.  If any
Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no
later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time on the Drawing Date, then interest
shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing
Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment:  (i) at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the
Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to
Loans under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day
following the Drawing Date.  The Agent
and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described above), but
failure of the Agent or the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the
Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment
on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.3.


 


2.9.3.4     With
respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit
Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as
contemplated by Section 2.9.3.2, because of the Borrower’s failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan]
other than any notice requirements or for any other reason, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter
of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing.  Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due
and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the
rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate
Option.  Each Lender’s payment to the
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.3.3
shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter
of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such
Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3.


 


2.9.4        Repayment
of Participation Advances.


 


2.9.4.1     Upon
(and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of
immediately available funds from the Borrower: 
(i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Lender
under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a
Participation Advance to the Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such
a payment made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Agent
on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as
those received by the Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such
funds, except the Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the
amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a
Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing Lender.


 


29

















 


2.9.4.2     If
payment received by the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender is required
at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the
payments made by any Loan Party to the Agent for the account of the Issuing
Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.4.1 in reimbursement of a payment made
under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on
demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by
the Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date
such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.


 


2.9.5        Documentation.


 


Each Loan Party agrees to
be bound jointly and severally by the terms of the Issuing Lender’s application
and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written
regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such
interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own.  In the event of a conflict between such
application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in
the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be
liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or
commission, in following any Issuing Lender’s instructions or those contained
in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements
thereto.


 


2.9.6        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 Lender 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.


 


2.9.7        Nature
of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.


 


Each Lender’s obligation
in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or
Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.9.3, as a result of a
drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to
reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 under all circumstances,
including the following circumstances:


 


(i)            any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever;


 


(ii)           the
failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a
Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Section 2.1
[Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], 2.6
[Making

such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing
and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.9.3;


 


(iii)          any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;


 


(iv)          any

Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor
beneficiary, any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds
thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the
Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person or, whether
in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan
Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter
of Credit was procured);


 


(v)           the
lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument,
certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter
of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of
Credit, or the transport of any property or provisions of services relating to
a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Issuing Lender or any of the
Issuing Lender’s Affiliates has been notified thereof;


 


(vi)          payment
by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit
against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which
does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;


 


(vii)         the
solvency of, or any acts of omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation
relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity,
condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating
to a Letter of Credit;


 


(viii)        any
failure by the Issuing Lender or any of Issuing Lender’s Affiliates to issue

Issuing Lender has received written notice from such Loan Party of such failure
within three (3) Business Days after the Issuing Lender shall have
furnished such Loan Party and the Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and
such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of
such notice;


 


(ix)           any
adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a
Loan Party;


 


(x)            any

fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the
Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and


 


(xiv)        any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.


 


2.9.8        Indemnity.


 


In addition to amounts
payable as provided in Section 10.5 [Reimbursement of Issuing Lender by
Borrower, Etc.],  the Borrower hereby agrees to
protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Lender and any of Issuing
Lender’s Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit 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 Lender or any of Issuing Lender’s Affiliates 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:  (A) the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful
dishonor by the Issuing Lender or any of Issuing Lender’s Affiliates 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”).


 


2.9.9        Liability
for Acts and Omissions.


 


As between any Loan Party
and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, 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 Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following
including 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 Lender or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates 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 


 


32

















 


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, 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 Lender or the Issuing Lender’s
Affiliates, as applicable, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the
above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates rights or powers hereunder.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall
relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions
described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence.  In no event shall the Issuing Lender or the
Issuing Lender’s Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect,
consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in
the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.


 


Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its
Affiliates:  (i) may rely on any
oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing Lender or
such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the
applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) 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; (iii) 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 or its Affiliate; (iv) 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; (v) 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 (vi) may settle
or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate 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 Lender or the Issuing Lender’s
Affiliates 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 Lender or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates
under any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
Lender.

Lenders and New Lenders.


 


The Borrower shall have the right to make up to four (4) requests
prior to the Expiration Date that:  (1) the
current Lenders (the “Existing Lenders”) increase their Revolving Credit
Commitments (an Existing Lender which elects to increase its Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) and/or (2) one
or more new lenders (each a “New Lender”) join this Agreement and provide a
Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, subject to the following terms and
conditions:


 


(i)            No
Obligation to Increase.  No Existing
Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and any
increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment by any Existing Lender shall be in
the sole discretion of such Existing Lender.


 


(ii)           Defaults. 
There shall exist no Event of Default or Potential Default on the
effective date of such increase (the “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date”)
after giving effect to such increase.


 


(iii)          Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments.  After
giving effect to any such increase, the total Revolving Credit Commitments
shall not exceed $200,000,000 and the total aggregate amount of all such
increases shall not exceed $75,000,000.


 


(iv)          Minimum
Increases.  The request for an
increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.


 


(v)           Resolutions;
Opinion.  The Loan Parties shall
deliver to the Agent on or before the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date
the following documents in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent:  (1) certifications of their corporate
secretaries with attached resolutions certifying that the increase in the
Revolving Credit Commitment has been approved by such Loan Parties and (2) an
opinion of counsel addressed to the Agent and the Lenders addressing the
authorization and execution of the Loan Documents by, and enforceability of the
Loan Documents against, the Loan Parties.


 


(vi)          Notes.  The Borrower shall execute and deliver:  (1) to each Increasing Lender a
replacement Note (except if such Increasing Lender requests that it not receive
a Note) reflecting the new amount of such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment after giving effect to the increase (and the prior Note issued to
such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2) to each
New Lender a Note (except if such New Lender requests that it not receive a
Note) reflecting the amount of such New Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitment.


 


(vii)         Approval.  The Agent, in its sole discretion, and the
Increasing Lender or New Lender, as the case may be, that is providing such
increase, shall have approved of such increase.


 


34

















 


(viii)        Increasing
Lenders.  If any portion of the
increase in Revolving Credit Commitments is being provided by one or more
Increasing Lenders, then such Increasing Lenders shall confirm their agreement
to increase their Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to a revolving credit
commitment increase agreement, acceptable to the Agent, signed by the Increasing
Lenders and the Loan Parties and delivered to the Agent at least five (5) Business
Days before the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date.


 


(ix)           New
Lenders—Joinder.  If the Borrower
desires that one or more New Lenders provide all or a portion of such increase
in Revolving Credit Commitments, then each New Lender, the Loan Parties and the
Agent shall execute a joinder and assumption agreement, acceptable to the
Agent, pursuant to which the New Lender shall join and become a party to this
Agreement and any other Loan Documents as applicable, effective on the
Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date with a Revolving Credit Commitment in
the amount set forth in Schedule I to such joinder and assumption agreement.


 


2.10.2      Treatment
of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.


 


2.10.2.1   Repayment
of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans.


 


On the Revolving Credit
Commitment Increase Date, the Borrower shall repay all Loans outstanding on the
Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date, subject to the Borrower’s indemnity
obligations under Section 5.5.2 [Indemnity] provided that it may borrow
new Loans with a Borrowing Date on the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase
Date. Each of the Lenders shall participate in any new Loans made on or after
the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date in accordance with their
respective Ratable Shares after giving effect to the increase in Revolving
Credit Commitments contemplated by this Section 2.10.


 


2.10.2.2   Outstanding
Letters of Credit.


 


On the Revolving Credit
Commitment Increase Date, each Increasing Lender and each New Lender:  (a) will be deemed to have purchased a
participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable

in each such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly and (b) will
acquire, (and will pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, in

3.             RESERVED


 


4.             INTEREST RATES


 


4.1           Interest
Rate Options.


 


The Borrower shall
pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans
as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth 


 


35

















 


below applicable
to the Loans, 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 five (5) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among
all of the 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.


 


4.1.1        Revolving
Credit Interest Rate Options.


 


The Borrower shall have
the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the
Revolving Credit Loans:


 


(i)            Revolving
Credit Base Rate Option:  A
fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such
interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the
effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or


 


(ii)           Revolving
Credit Euro-Rate Option:  A rate per
annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed)
equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin.


 


4.1.2        Rate
Quotations.


 


The Borrower may call the
Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to
receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that
such projection shall not be binding on the Agent or the Lenders nor affect the
rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is
made.


 


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:


 


4.2.1        Amount
of Borrowing Tranche.


 


each Borrowing Tranche of
Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral multiples of $2,000,000 and not less than
$2,000,000;


 


36

















 


4.2.2        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.


 


4.3           Interest
After Default.


 


To the extent
permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such
time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:


 


4.3.1        Letter
of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.


 


The Letter of Credit Fees
and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2
[Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options],
respectively, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
interest applicable under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option plus an
additional 2.0% per annum; and


 


4.3.2        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 Revolving Credit 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.


 


4.3.3        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; and all such interest shall
be payable by Borrower upon demand by Agent.


 


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


 


4.4.1        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 4.4.3.


 


37

















 


4.4.2        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), or


 


(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 and
the Lenders shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3.


 


4.4.3        Agent’s
and Lender’s Rights.


 


In the case of any event
specified in Section 4.4.1, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders
and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2,
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: 
(A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Agent, or (B) 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 4.4.1 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 4.4.2, the Borrower shall, subject to the
Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.5.2 [Indemnity], 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 [Voluntary Prepayments]. 
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.


 


38














 


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 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have
converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option
commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.


 


5.             PAYMENTS


 


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 11:00 a.m., 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 and each (other than the
Agent’s Fee and any fees paid to the Issuing Lender) is made for the ratable
accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Loans in U.S. Dollars and in
immediately available funds, and the Agent shall promptly distribute such
amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds, provided that in
the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, by the
Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the
Lenders on the same day received by the Agent, the Agent shall pay the Lenders
the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments
for each day held by the Agent and not distributed to the Lenders.  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.”


 


5.2           Pro
Rata Treatment of Lenders.


 


Each borrowing
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 and Letter of Credit fronting fee) or amounts due from the Borrower
hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided
in Section 4.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event
specified in Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.4.2
[Replacement of a Lender] or 5.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances]) 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.


 


39

















 


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 day of each October, January, April and July after the date
hereof and on the Expiration Date 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 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).


 


5.4           Voluntary
Prepayments.


 


5.4.1        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 5.4.2 or in Section 5.5
[Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]):


 


(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,


 


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


 


Whenever the Borrower
desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice
to the Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the
date of prepayment of Loans setting forth the following information:


 


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


 


(b)           the total principal amount of such
prepayment, which shall not be less than $1,000,000.


 


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.  Except as provided in Section 4.4.3
[Agent’s and Lender’s rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify
the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the
prepayment shall be applied first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option
applies, 


 


40

















 


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 5.5.2
[Indemnity].


 


5.4.2        Replacement
of a Lender.


 


In the event any
Lender:  (i) gives notice under Section 4.4
[Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or Section 5.5.1 [Increased Costs,
Etc.], (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of
such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Lender, (iii) becomes
a Nonconsenting Lender, or (iv) becomes subject to the control of an
Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), 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: 
(w) receipt of such Lender’s notice under Section 4.4
[Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or 5.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (x) the
date such Lender has failed to fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making
of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Lender, (y) such
Lender becomes a Nonconsenting Lender or (z) the date such Lender became
subject to the control of an Official Body, as applicable; provided that
the Borrower shall also pay to such Lender at the time of such prepayment any
amounts required under Section 5.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances] and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related
fees; provided, however, that the Commitment 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may
only be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 10.14 [Successor
Agent] and provided that all Letters of Credit have expired or been
terminated or replaced.


 


5.4.3        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 4.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.] or 5.5.1
[Increased Costs, Etc.] 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 5.4.3 shall
affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party or the rights of the Agent or any Lender provided in this Agreement.


 


5.4.4        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 Commitments without
penalty or premium, except as hereinafter set forth, provided that any such
reduction or termination shall be 


 


41

















 


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
Notes (together with cash collateralization, if necessary, of the Letters of
Credit), together with the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum
to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.5 [Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances]), 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.


 


5.5           Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances.


 


5.5.1        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),


 


(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 in good faith (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 


 


42

















 


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.


 


5.5.2        Indemnity.


 


In addition to the
compensation required by Section 5.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], the
Borrower 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 2.5 [Revolving
Credit Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating
to prepayments under Section 5.4 [Voluntary Prepayments], or


 


(iii)          default
by the Borrower 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.


 


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 Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business
Days after such notice is given.

financial statements for the fiscal year to date and as of the end of the

the Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties for the fiscal years 2006 through 2011
derived from various assumptions of the Borrower’s management (the “Financial
Projections”).  The Financial Projections
represent a reasonable range of possible results in light of the history of the
business, present and foreseeable conditions and the intentions of the Borrower’s
management.  The Financial Projections

the Loan Parties upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as

10.1         Appointment.


 


Each Lender hereby
irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes PNC Bank to act as Agent for
such Lender under this Agreement and to execute and deliver or accept on behalf
of each of the Lenders the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes,
and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of a Note shall be deemed
irrevocably to authorize, the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
instruments and agreements referred to herein, and to exercise such powers and
to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or required
of the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  PNC Bank agrees to
act as the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the extent provided in this
Agreement.


 


10.2         Delegation
of Duties.


 


The Agent may
perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees (provided
such delegation does not constitute a relinquishment of its duties as Agent)
and, subject to Sections 10.5 [Reimbursement of Agent by Borrower, Etc.]
and 10.6, shall be entitled to engage and pay for the advice or services of any
attorneys, accountants or other experts concerning all matters pertaining to
its duties hereunder and to rely upon any advice so obtained.  It is acknowledged and agreed that:  (i) National City Bank has received the
title of joint lead arranger and (ii) each of Wachovia Bank, National
Association, Royal Bank of Canada, and Raymond James Bank, FSB have received
the title of co-documentation agents under this Agreement; however, such
designations are solely to give each of National City Bank, Wachovia Bank,
National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, and Raymond James Bank, FSB its
respective title and each of National City Bank, Wachovia Bank, National
Association, Royal Bank of Canada, and Raymond James Bank, FSB has no duties,

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.  The duties of the Agent 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 


 


85

















 


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:  (i) 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; (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

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 10.6
[Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.].  Subject
to the provisions of Section 10.6, 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.


 


10.5         Reimbursement
and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower.


 


The Borrower
unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent and hold the Agent
harmless against:  (a) liability for

with the development, negotiation, preparation, printing, execution,
administration, syndication, interpretation and performance of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating to any requested amendments,
waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (iii) 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, and (iv) 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 (b) 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 the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided
that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements if the same results from the Agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct, or 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 the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to
give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or if the same results
from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of
the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to reimburse
and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent’s regular employees
and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties’ books,
records and business properties.


 


10.6         Exculpatory
Provisions; Limitation of Liability.


 


Neither the Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates
shall:  (a) be liable to any Lender
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in
connection herewith including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by
its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for the effectiveness, enforceability,
genuineness, validity or the due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents or for any recital, representation, warranty, document, certificate,
report or statement herein or made or furnished under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or (c) be under any obligation
to any of the Lenders to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on
the part of the Loan Parties, or the financial condition of the Loan Parties,
or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential
Default. No claim may be made by any of the Loan Parties, any Lender, the Agent
or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the Agent, any Lender or any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or
Affiliates, or any of them, for any special, indirect or consequential damages
or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for any punitive damages in respect
of any claim or cause of action (whether based on contract, tort, statutory
liability, or any other ground) based on, arising out of or related to any Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection therewith, including the negotiation, documentation,
administration or collection of the Loans, and each of the Loan Parties (for
itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the Agent and each Lender
hereby waive, releases and agree never to sue upon any claim for any such
damages, whether such claim now exists or hereafter arises and whether or not
it is now known or suspected to exist in its favor.  Each Lender agrees that, except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Agent hereunder or given to the Agent for the account of or with copies
for the Lenders, the Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, 


 


87

















 


property,
condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan
Parties which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates.


 


10.7         Reimbursement
and Indemnification of Agent by Lenders.


 


Each Lender agrees
to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in
proportion to its Ratable Share from and against all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the
allocated costs of staff counsel), and costs of appraisers and environmental
consultants, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action
taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that no
Lender 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 the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if
such Lender was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to
participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Lender
shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result
in a loss to the Lender), or (c) if the same results from a compromise and
settlement agreement entered into without the consent of such Lender, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In
addition, each Lender agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation
of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts
due and payable by the Borrower to the Agent in connection with the Agent’s
periodic audit of the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties.


 


10.8         Reliance
by Agent.


 


The Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype message,
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.


 


10.9         Notice
of Default.


 


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


 


88














 


10.10                     Notices.


 


The Agent shall
promptly send to each Lender a copy of all notices received from the Borrower
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
promptly upon receipt thereof.  The Agent
shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Lenders of each change in the
Base Rate and the effective date thereof.


 


10.11                     Lenders in
Their Individual Capacities; Agent in its Individual Capacity.


 


With respect to
its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans 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.  PNC Bank and its Affiliates and each of the
Lenders and their respective Affiliates may, without liability to account, except
as prohibited herein, make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account
of, acquire equity interests in, accept deposits from, discount drafts for, act
as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with, the Loan
Parties and their Affiliates, in the case of the Agent, as though it were not
acting as Agent hereunder and in the case of each Lender, as though such Lender
were not a Lender hereunder, in each case without notice to or consent of the
other Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge
that, pursuant to such activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may:  (i) receive information regarding the
Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including information
that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Loan Parties
or such Subsidiary or Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under
no obligation to provide such information to them, and (ii) accept fees
and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with
this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Lenders.


 


10.12                     Holders of
Notes.


 


The Agent may deem
and treat any payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless
and until written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Agent.  Any request,
authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of
any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.


 


10.13                     Equalization
of Lenders.


 


The Lenders and
the holders of any participations in any Notes 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 


 


89

















 


excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Lenders and such
holders in proportion to their interests in payments under the Notes, except as
otherwise provided in Section 4.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], 5.4.2
[Replacement of a Lender] or 5.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances].  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 under the Notes, 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.


 


10.14                     Successor
Agent.


 


The Agent:  (i) may resign as Agent or (ii) shall
resign if such resignation is requested by the Required Lenders (if the Agent
is a Lender, the Agent’s Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, Letter of Credit
Borrowings, and its Commitment shall be considered in determining whether the
Required Lenders have requested such resignation) or required by Section 5.4.2
[Replacement of a Lender], in either case of (i) or (ii) by giving
not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower.  If the Agent shall resign under this
Agreement, then either:  (a) the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the
Lenders, subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default exists and is continuing or (b) if a
successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30)
day period following the Agent’s notice to the Lenders of its resignation, then
the Agent shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such
time as the Required Lenders appoint and the Borrower consents to the
appointment of a successor agent.  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” shall mean 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 Section 10 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.


 


10.15                     Agent’s
Fee.


 


The Borrower shall
pay to the Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a
letter (the “Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Agent, as amended from
time to time.


 


90

















 


10.16                     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 on or
before the later of:  (i) the close
of Business on the Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to
such Loan or (ii) 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 10.16 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.


 


10.17                     Calculations.


 


In the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, 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.


 


10.18                     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:  (1) any identity
verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with
government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures
required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.


 


91

















 


10.19                     Beneficiaries.


 


Except as
expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Section 10 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.

11.1                           Modifications,
Amendments or Waivers.


 


With the written
consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent, acting on behalf of all the
Lenders, and the Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may from time to time
enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan
Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents to a
departure from the due performance of the Obligations of the Loan Parties
hereunder or thereunder.  Any such
agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective
to bind all the Lenders and the Loan Parties; provided that, without the
written consent of all the Lenders, no such agreement, waiver or consent may be
made which will:


 


11.1.1                  Increase of Commitment; Extension
of Expiration Date.


 


Increase the amount of
the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder or extend the
Expiration Date, except as pursuant to Section 2.10;


 


11.1.2                  Extension of Payment; Reduction of
Principal, Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment.


 


Whether or not any Loans
are outstanding, extend the time for payment of principal or interest of any
Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender (other than the
Agent’s Fee and any fees paid to the Issuing Lender), or reduce the principal
amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Loan or reduce the Commitment
Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender (other than the Agent’s Fee and any
fees paid to the Issuing Lender), or otherwise affect the terms of payment of
the principal of or interest of any Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee
payable to any Lender;


 


11.1.3                  Release of Collateral or Guarantor.

assets permitted by Section 8.2.7 [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries],
release any Collateral consisting of capital stock or other ownership interests
of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or substantially all of the assets
of any Loan Party, any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty
Agreement or any other security for any of the Loan Parties’ Obligations
provided that the foregoing consent shall not be required in connection 


 


92

















 


with any dividend
and distribution otherwise permitted by this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2.5(i),
which such consent is given solely by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.20;
or


 


11.1.4                  Miscellaneous.


 


Amend Section 5.2
[Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders], 10.6 [Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.] or 10.13
[Equalization of Lenders] or this Section 11.1, alter any provision
regarding the pro rata treatment of the Lenders, change the definition of
Required Lenders, or change any requirement providing for the Lenders or the
Required Lenders to authorize the taking of any action hereunder;


 


provided,
further, that no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests,
rights or obligations of the Agent in its capacity as Agent or as the issuer of
Letters of Credit shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent.


 


11.2                           No
Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.


 


No course of
dealing and no delay or failure of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy
or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power, remedy or privilege.  The rights
and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other
Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
they would otherwise have.  Any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Lender
of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any
provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be
effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.


 


11.3                           Reimbursement
and Indemnification of Lenders by the Borrower; Taxes.


 


The Borrower
agrees unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to each Lender (other
than the Agent, as to which the Borrower’s Obligations are set forth in Section 10.5
[Reimbursement of Agent By Borrower, Etc.]) and to save such Lender harmless
against:  (i) 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 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, and (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, or (ii) all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, 


 


93

















 


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
this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by
such Lender hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall
not 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, 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 the Borrower
shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result
in a loss to the Borrower), or (C) if the same results from a compromise
or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which
shall not be 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.  The
Borrower 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 the Borrower 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.


 


11.4                           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 [Interest Periods] 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 if the Expiration 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.


 


11.5                                                   Funding
by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.


 


11.5.1                  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 11.5
shall mean 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 


 


94

















 


obligation
pursuant to Section 5.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]
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.


 


11.5.2                  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 11.5.2.  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 5.5 [Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be incurred.


 


11.6                           Notices.


 


Any notice,
request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 11.6
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

11.10                                             Duration;

All
representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made in

not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any

Parties contained in Sections 8.1 [Affirmative Covenants], 8.2 [Negative
Covenants] and 8.3 [Reporting Requirements] herein shall continue in full force
and effect from and after the date hereof so long as the Borrower may borrow or
request Letters of Credit hereunder and until termination of the Commitments
and payment in full of the Loans and expiration or termination of all Letters
of Credit.  All covenants and agreements

11.11                                             Successors
and Assigns.


 


(i)                                     This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders,
the Agent, the Loan Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except
that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights and
Obligations hereunder or any interest herein. 
Each Lender may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell
participations in all or any part of its Commitments and the Loans made by it
to one or more banks or other entities, subject to the consent (in the case of
any assignment) of the Borrower and the Agent with respect to any assignee,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,  provided
that:  (1) no consent of the
Borrower shall be required:  (A) if
an Event of Default exists and is continuing, or (B) in the case of an
assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender, and (2) any
assignment by a Lender to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender may
not be made in amounts less than the lesser of $5,000,000 or the amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment.  In the
case of an assignment, upon receipt by the Agent of the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement, the Purchasing Lender shall have, to the extent of such
assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits and
obligations as it would have if it had been a signatory Lender hereunder, the
Commitments shall be adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Note
subject to such assignment, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a new Note
to the Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment assumed by it and a new Revolving Credit Note to the
assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained
by it hereunder.  Any Transferor Lender
which assigns any or all of its Commitment or Loans to a Person other than an
Affiliate of such Lender shall pay to the Agent a service fee in the amount of $3,500
for each assignment.  In the case of a
participation, the participant shall only have the rights specified in Section 9.2.3
[Set-off] (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such
participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in
favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any voting rights
except with respect to changes of the type referenced in Sections 11.1.1
[Increase of Commitment, Etc.] or 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], all of
such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
remain unchanged, and all amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or
thereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation.


 


97

















 


(ii)                                  Any
assignee or participant which is not incorporated under the Laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent the form of certificate described in Section 11.17 relating to
federal income tax withholding.  Each
Lender may furnish any publicly available information concerning any Loan Party
or its Subsidiaries and any other information concerning any Loan Party or its
Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees
and participants (including prospective assignees or participants), provided
that such assignees and participants agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 11.12
[Confidentiality].


 


(iii)                               Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its
Note and the other Loan Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance
with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14
without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent.  No such pledge or grant of a security
interest shall release the Transferor Lender of its obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document.


 


11.12                                             Confidentiality.


 


11.12.1            General.


 


The Agent and the Lenders
each agree to keep confidential all information obtained from any Loan Party or
its Subsidiaries which is nonpublic and confidential or proprietary in nature
(including any information the Borrower specifically designates as confidential),
except as provided below, and to use such information only in connection with
their respective capacities under this Agreement and for the purposes
contemplated hereby.  The Agent and the
Lenders shall be permitted to disclose such information:  (i) to outside legal counsel,
accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such information
in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement,
subject to agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality, (ii) to
assignees and participants as contemplated by Section 11.11, and
prospective assignees and participants, (iii) to the extent requested by
any bank regulatory authority or, with notice to the Borrower, as otherwise
required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or in
connection with any investigation or proceeding arising out of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) if it becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or becomes available from
a source not known to be subject to confidentiality restrictions, or (v) if
the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure.


 


11.12.2            Sharing Information With Affiliates of
the Lenders.


 


Each Loan Party
acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and
other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its
Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by
one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan
Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to
such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement,
or in connection with the decision of such Lender to 


 


98

















 


enter into this
Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being
understood that any such Subsidiary or affiliate of any Lender receiving such
information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 11.12.1 as if it
were a Lender hereunder.  Such
authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and other Obligations
and the termination of the Commitments.


 


11.13                                             Counterparts.


 


This Agreement may
be executed by different parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts,
each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, and all
such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.


 


11.14                                             Agent’s
or Lender’s Consent.


 


Whenever the Agent’s
or any Lender’s consent is required to be obtained under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents as a condition to any action, inaction, condition
or event, the Agent and each Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold
such consent in its sole and absolute discretion and to condition its consent
upon the giving of additional collateral, the payment of money or any other
matter.


 


11.15                                             Exceptions.


 


The
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be independent
of each other, and no exception to any representation, warranty or covenant
shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation, warranty or
covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any such
exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in
contravention of applicable Law.


 


11.16                                             CONSENT TO FORUM; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.


 


EACH LOAN
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT
OF COMMON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR
THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND
ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY
CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO SUCH LOAN PARTY AT THE ADDRESSES
PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 11.6 AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE
COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF. 
EACH LOAN PARTY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY
ACTION INSTITUTED AGAINST IT AS PROVIDED HEREIN AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY
DEFENSE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR VENUE. 
EACH LOAN PARTY, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE COLLATERAL TO THE
FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11.17                                             Certifications
From Lenders and Participants


 


11.17.1            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; (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.


 


11.17.2            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 


 


100

















 


maintains a physical presence in the United states or foreign county,
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) as such other times as are required under the USA
Patriot Act.


 


11.18                                             Joinder
of Guarantors.


 


Any Subsidiary of
the Borrower which is required to join this Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant
to Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures] shall
execute and deliver to the Agent:  (i) a
Guarantor Joinder in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) pursuant
to which it shall join as a Guarantor each of the documents to which the
Guarantors are parties; (ii) documents in the forms described in Section 7.1
[First Loans] modified as appropriate to relate to such Subsidiary; and (iii) documents
necessary to grant and perfect Prior Security Interests to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders in all Collateral held by such Subsidiary.  The Loan Parties shall deliver such Guarantor
Joinder and related documents to the Agent within five (5) Business Days
after the date of the filing of such Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation if
the Subsidiary is a corporation, the date of the filing of its certificate of
limited partnership if it is a limited partnership or the date of its
organization if it is an entity other than a limited partnership or
corporation.


 


11.19                     Acknowledgment.


 


Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees
that:  (i) the contemplated initial
public offering involving the Borrower (the “IPO”) has been postponed and (ii) each
Lender agrees to undertake a good faith review of any amendment to this
Agreement proposed by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in connection
with any potential future IPO; provided, however, that the
foregoing in no way obligates any Lender to agree to enter into any such
proposed amendment.


 


11.20                                             Certain
Actions by Agent.


 


Each Lender hereby
expressly agrees and irrevocably authorizes the Agent that, so long as no Event
of Default exists (as certified by the Loan Parties to the Agent):  (i) the Agent, upon request of the
Borrower, may in connection with any sale, transfer, lease, disposition, merger
or other transaction permitted by this Agreement release Collateral or release
any Guarantor from the Obligations under the Loan Documents other than the
Intercompany Subordination Agreement and (ii) the Agent, upon request of
the Borrower, may in connection with any sale of the Borrower’s member
interests permitted by this Agreement, release Wexford’s pledge of the member
interests being sold in an amount not to exceed 25% of the member interests of
the Borrower, provided, however, that the purchaser of such
member interests executes a Pledge Agreement (Borrower) in a form substantially
similar to Exhibit 1.1(P)(3) and takes any other actions
related to such pledge as requested by the Agent.

determined in accordance with paragraph (b) below, provided
that, for the period beginning with the Closing Date and ending upon the
Financials Delivery Date for the March 31, 2007 Compliance Certificate,
such rates shall be no less than the respective amounts set forth under Level

(b)           It is expressly agreed that after the

however, that the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit
