Credit Termination Date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto, executed by the Borrower and
delivered to the Bank. Borrowing Tranches, Interest Rate Options, the rate of interest accruing on Revolving Credit Loans and the terms of payment of such accrued interest with respect to Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the terms of

During such thirty (30) day period the Bank and the Borrower shall attempt to agree on an alternative mechanism for funding Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement. Failure of the Borrower and the Bank to agree on an alternative funding
mechanism shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder at the end of such thirty (30) day period. 
 2.2 Term Loan
Facility. 
 2.2a Term Loan Commitment. On the date hereof, the Bank extends to the Borrower a term loan facility of
$12,000,000. Subject to the terms hereof and relying on the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Borrower shall have the right to borrow the Term Loan on the Business Day which is three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date
in the principal amount of $12,000,000. On the Business Day which is three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Bank shall advance the Term Loan in immediately available funds (i) to the Borrower by deposit of such funds into the

request shall specify the date of the advance of the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.2a hereof or the date on which such conversion of an existing Interest Rate Option is to be made, the amount thereof and, if applicable, the LIBOR Rate
Interest Period therefor. Any oral request for a conversion of an existing Interest Rate Option shall be followed immediately by the Borrower’s written request therefore. A request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2b, with
respect to the Term Loan or any portion thereof which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate Option, shall irrevocably commit the Borrower to accept such LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in such request.

pay to the Bank, as a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Term Loan, the Net Cash Proceeds of any disposition of assets permitted by items (ii) and (iii) of Section 6.7; provided, however no such mandatory
prepayment of such Net Cash Proceeds need be made if (I) the Net Cash Proceeds do not exceed in the aggregate $5,000,000 during the term hereof and (II) such Net Cash Proceeds aggregating not more than $10,000,000 are used within one hundred
and eighty days of receipt to acquire other Equipment in which the Bank is granted a first and prior Encumbrance.

 2.3 Interest.

 2.3a Interest Rate. During the term hereof, the Borrower, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, but
subject to the terms and conditions of the Working Cash Sweep Agreement with respect to outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, shall have the option of electing from time to time one or more Interest Rate Options set forth below to be applied by the
Bank to all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loan, as the case may be.

(i) Changes in Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted as of the day that the Borrower’s annual and
quarterly financial statements, and Compliance Certificate are delivered to the Bank pursuant to Sections 5.2a, 5.2b and 5.2c hereof. 

(ii) Changes in Prime Rate, Federal Funds Open Rate and Daily LIBOR Rate. The Base Rate shall be adjusted from time to time,

(iii) Changes in LIBOR Rate Reserve Percentage. The LIBOR Rate Option shall be adjusted from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower, as necessary to reflect any changes in the LIBOR Rate Reserve Percentage, which adjustments shall be automatically effective on the day of such change. 

(iv) Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount
of the Loans shall bear interest from the date of such occurrence at a rate per annum which is equal to 2% (200 basis points) in excess of the rate or rates which would then otherwise in effect pursuant to this Section 2.3 with respect to such

interest shall be due and payable within ten (10) days. All accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Credit Loan shall be due and payable on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.3d Method of Calculation. The interest rate shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed, using a year of 360
days. Interest for any period shall be calculated from and including the first day thereof to but not including the last day thereof. 
 2.3e
Interest Rate Option Elections, Renewals and Conversions. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall have the option to elect to have all or any Borrowing Tranches bear interest at either of the Interest
Rate Options and shall have the right to renew elections of Interest Rate Options and convert Borrowing Tranches to the other Interest Rate Option. Notice of the Borrower’s election shall be made in accordance with Section 2.2b. Elections
of, conversions to or renewals of the Base Rate Option shall continue in effect until converted to the LIBOR Rate Option. Elections of, conversions to or renewals of the LIBOR Rate Option shall expire as to each such LIBOR Rate Option at the
expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period. Any Borrowing Tranches outstanding for which no elections have been made shall bear interest under the Base Rate Option. 

2.3f Limitation on Election of LIBOR Rate Options. Each election of the LIBOR Rate Option or the prepayment of all or any LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be in the minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or, if in excess of $1,000,000, in integral multiples of $500,000. At no time during the term hereof may there be more than a total of six (6) separate Borrowing Tranches in effect, no more
than four (4) of which may bear interest at the LIBOR Rate Option. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower’s right to elect, renew or convert to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended.

 2.3g Special Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate Option. 

(i) LIBOR Rate Unascertainable. In the event that on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise be set the Bank shall
have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the Bank shall give
prompt notice of such determination to the Borrower, and until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, the right of the Borrower to borrow under, renew or convert to the LIBOR Rate
Option shall be treated as a request to borrow under, renew or convert to the Base Rate Option. 
 (ii) Illegality
of Offering LIBOR Rate. If the Bank shall determine in good faith, which determination shall be final and conclusive, that compliance by the Bank with any applicable Governmental Rule (whether or not having the force of law), or the
interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority has made it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, the Bank shall give notice of such determination to the Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, unless and until the Bank shall give notice to the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply: 

(A) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Interest Periods thereafter commencing, interest on the corresponding LIBOR Rate Loans shall be
computed and payable under the Base Rate Option; and 
 

(B) on such date, if any, as shall be required by law, any LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be automatically renewed at the Base
Rate Option; and the Borrower shall pay to the Bank the accrued and unpaid interest on such LIBOR Rate Loans to (but not including) such renewal date. The Borrower shall pay the Bank any additional amounts reasonably necessary to compensate the Bank
for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Bank as a result of any renewal pursuant to item (B) above on a day other than the last day of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by
the Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it to loan or maintain the Loans so converted. The Bank shall furnish to the Borrower a certificate showing the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate the Bank for such costs (which certificate, in
the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive), and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Bank, as additional consideration hereunder, within ten (10) days of the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate. 

(iii) Inability to Offer LIBOR Rate. In the event that the Bank shall determine, in its sole discretion, that it is unable
to obtain deposits in the London interbank market in sufficient amounts and with maturities related to the LIBOR Rate Loans which 

 

 14 

 
would enable the Bank to fund such LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Bank shall immediately notify the Borrower that the right of the Borrower to borrow under, convert to or renew the LIBOR Rate Option
shall be suspended. Following notification of the suspension of the LIBOR Rate Option, the Borrower agrees to negotiate with the Bank for a modified LIBOR Rate which will allow the Bank to realize its anticipated and bargained-for yield. In the
event that the Borrower and the Bank cannot agree on a modified LIBOR Rate, any notice of borrowing under, conversion to or renewal of the LIBOR Rate Option which was to become effective during the period of suspension shall be treated as a request
to borrow under, convert to or renew the Base Rate Option with respect to the principal amount specified therein. 
 (iv)
Indemnity. In addition to the other provisions of this Section 2.3g, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Bank against any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of any default by the Borrower in
failing to make any borrowing, conversion or renewal hereunder to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate Option on the scheduled date, in failing to make when due (whether by declaration, acceleration or otherwise) any payment of any LIBOR Rate Loan or in
making any payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any part thereof on any day other than the last day of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, including but not limited to any loss of profit, premium or penalty incurred by the Bank in
respect of funds borrowed by it for the purpose of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan as determined in good faith by the Bank in the exercise of its sole but reasonable discretion. The Bank shall furnish to the Borrower a certificate showing
the calculation of the amount of any such loss or expense (which certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive), and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the affected Bank within ten days of the Borrower’s receipt of such
certificate. 
  

	2.4	Yield Protection; Indemnity. 

2.4a Yield Protection. If any Governmental Rule or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration thereof, or the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, whether or not having the force of law: 

(i) subjects the Bank to any tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding of any kind hereunder (other than any tax
imposed or based upon the income of the Bank and payable to any Governmental Authority or taxing authority of the United States of America or any state thereof) or changes the basis of taxation of the Bank with respect to payments by the Borrower of
principal, interest or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder (other than any change which affects, and to the extent that it affects, the taxation by the United States of America or any state thereof of the total net income of the Bank), or

 (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, special assessment or similar requirements against
assets held by, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by the Bank, or 
 (iii) imposes upon the Bank any other
condition with respect to this Agreement, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank, reduce the income
receivable by the Bank, reduce the rate of return on the Bank’s capital or impose any expense upon the Bank by an amount which the Bank in its sole but reasonable discretion deems to be material, the Bank shall from time to time notify the
Borrower of the amount determined by the Bank (which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive) to be reasonably necessary to compensate the Bank (on an after-tax basis) for such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduction in
rate of return or additional expense, setting forth the calculations therefor, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Bank, as additional consideration hereunder, within 10 days of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice. 

2.4b Method of Calculation. In determining the amount due the Bank hereunder by reason of the application of this Section 2.4, the
Bank may use any reasonable averaging or attribution method; provided, however, that the Bank must use reasonable efforts to minimize such losses and costs. 

2.5 Capital Adequacy. If (i) any adoption of, change in or interpretation of any Governmental Rule, or (ii) compliance with any
guideline, request or directive of any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally, including but not limited to regulations set forth at 12 C.F.R.
Part 3 (Appendix A), 12 C.F.R. Part 208 (Appendix A), 12 C.F.R. Part 225 (Appendix A) and 12 C.F.R. Part 325 (Appendix A) or any court requires that the commitments of the Bank hereunder be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes
of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by the Bank or any corporation controlling the Bank (a “Capital Adequacy Event”), the result of which is to reduce the rate of return on the Bank’s capital as a
consequence of such commitments to a level below that which the Bank could have achieved but for such Capital Adequacy Event, taking into consideration the Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy, by an amount which the Bank reasonably
deems to be material, the Bank shall promptly deliver to the Borrower a statement of the amount necessary to compensate the Bank for the reduction in the rate of return on its capital attributable to such commitments (the “Capital Compensation
Amount”). The Bank shall determine the Capital Compensation Amount in good faith, using reasonable attribution and averaging methods. The Bank shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount so determined setting forth the
calculations therefor (which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive). Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to the Bank 10 Business Days after such notice is given. 

 

 15 

 2.6 Payments. 

2.6a Place and Manner of Payments. All payments of principal, interest, fees, costs and other amounts due hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents not credited to the Bank directly pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Working Cash Sweep Agreement shall be made by the Borrower to the Bank at the Bank’s principal office at One PNC Plaza, Fifth Avenue and Wood Street, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania 15222, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, not later than 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the due date. All such payments with respect to the Loans shall be immediately good funds when delivered by the Borrower to the Bank. 

2.6b No Set-Off or Deductions. Subject to the terms of Section 9.5c hereof any and all payments made by the Borrower hereunder shall
be made to the Bank in full, without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present and future Taxes other than Excluded Taxes. If the Borrower is required by law to
deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased, as may be necessary, so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Bank receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make the required deductions or
withholdings, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with any applicable Governmental Rule. The Bank agrees either to repay or credit at Bank’s discretion to the
Borrower any refund or tax credit actually received by, or for the benefit of, the Bank for tax amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section. 

2.6c Tax Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Bank for the full amount of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section paid or payable by the Bank and for any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted, and for any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) levied or imposed with respect to any indemnity payment made under this Section. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Bank makes written
demand therefor. If such Taxes are not correctly or legally asserted, the Bank will reasonably cooperate with the Borrower at the Borrower’s expense in contesting such assessment. 

2.6d Evidence of Payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes withheld by the Borrower in respect of any payment by the
Borrower to the Bank, the Borrower shall furnish to the Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant taxing authority evidencing payment by the Borrower to the taxing authority of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes)
with respect to any payment payable to the Bank. 
 2.6e Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement. 
 2.7 Loan Account. The
Bank shall open and maintain on its books a Loan Account in the Borrower’s name with respect to Loans made, repayments, prepayments, the computation and payment of interest and other amounts due and sums paid to the Bank hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. Such Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower as to the amount at any time due to the Bank from the Borrower except in the case of manifest error in computation. 

2.8 Payment of Certain Fees. 

2.8a Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank, on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of the
Revolving Credit Commitment and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, a Commitment Fee calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed, using a year of 360 days, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee on the
average daily (computed at the opening of business) unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (i.e., the Revolving Credit Commitment less the Outstanding Revolving Credit Amount) for the Fiscal Quarter then ended. The first payment of the
Commitment Fee under this Agreement shall be due on March 31, 2009, shall be for the period beginning on the Closing Date. The Commitment Fee shall no longer accrue with respect to portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment which became
permanently unavailable to the Borrower as a result of permanent reductions to the Revolving Credit Commitment made pursuant to Section 2.1b. 

2.8b Closing Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Closing Fee on the Closing Date. 

2.9 Payment From Accounts Maintained by Borrower. In the event that any payment of principal, interest, the Commitment Fees, the Letter of
Credit Fees, the Closing Fee and any other fee or expense or any other amount due the Bank under any of the Loan Documents is not paid when due, the Bank is hereby authorized to effect such payment by debiting the Parent Account or any deposit
account of the Borrower now or in the future maintained with the Bank by the Borrower either individually or with another Person. This right of debiting accounts of the Borrower is in addition to any right of setoff accorded the Bank hereunder or by
operation of law. 
  

 16 

 2.10 Late Payment. If any payment required to be made by the Borrower hereunder is not made on
the due date thereof, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of such required payment at the Default Rate for any Borrowing Tranche bearing interest at the Base Rate Option (whether or not a Borrowing Tranche bearing interest). 

2.11 Letter of Credit Subfacility. 

2.11a Letter of Credit Commitment. At the request of the Borrower, the Bank will issue for the account of the Borrower, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth (including without limitation Article 7 hereof), one or more Letters of Credit; provided, however, no Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date; and provided, further, however, that in no event shall (i) the Stated Amount of the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.11 exceed, at any one time, $2,000,000, or (ii) the sum of aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate unpaid balance of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate unpaid balance of any Unreimbursed L/C Draws and the aggregate Stated Amount of the Letters of Credit issued by the
Bank under this Section 2.11 exceed, at any one time, the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment. 
 2.11b Letter of Credit
Charges. 
 (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Bank a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to a per annum rate
of interest equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate Option, on the aggregate daily (computed at the opening of business and on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) Stated
Amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit for the period in question. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable (A) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter occurring during the term of this Agreement, (B) on
the Revolving Credit Termination Date or (C) upon acceleration of the Revolving Credit Note. Any issuance of an amendment to extend the stated expiration date of a Letter of Credit or an amendment to increase the Stated Amount of a Letter of
Credit shall be treated as an issuance of a new Letter of Credit for purposes of calculation of the Letter of Credit Fee due and payable hereunder. After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the rate at which
the Letter of Credit Fee is calculated shall be increased by two hundred (200) basis points (2%) above the pre-default rate. 

(ii) The Borrower shall also pay to the Bank for the Bank’s own account the Bank’s customary documentation fees payable with
respect to the Letters of Credit as the Bank may generally charge from time to time. Without limitation, the foregoing shall include all charges and expenses paid or incurred by the Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit, including without
limitation: (A) correspondents’ charges, if any, (B) any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and charges of the Bank in connection with the performance, administration, interpretation, collection and enforcement of this
Agreement and any Letter of Credit, including all reasonable legal fees and expenses, and (C) any and all applicable reserve or similar requirements and any and all premiums, assessments, or levies imposed upon the Bank by any Governmental
Authority. 
 (iii) If by reason of (A) any change in any Law or any change in the interpretation or application by any
judicial or regulatory authority of any Law or (ii) compliance by the Bank with any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority: 

(A) the Bank shall be subject to any tax, levy, charge or withholding of any nature or to any variation thereof or to any penalty with
respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 2.11, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by the Bank; 

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

 (C) there shall be imposed on the Bank any other condition regarding this Section 2.11 or the Letters of Credit;

 and if the result of any of the foregoing is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to the Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit, or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by, the Bank, then and in any such case the Bank may, at any time after the additional cost is incurred or the amount receivable is reduced, notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall
pay on demand such amounts as the Bank may specify to be necessary to compensate the Bank for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of the notice of such event which results in such increased
cost or reduction in amount receivable until payment in full thereof at a rate equal at all times to the Base Rate. The determination by the Bank of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.11b as set forth in a certificate setting forth the
calculation thereof, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. 
 2.11c
Change in Law. In the event any restrictions are imposed upon the Bank by any Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the banking activities of the Bank which would prevent the Bank from issuing the Letters of Credit or
amending the Letters of Credit, the commitment of the Bank to issue the Letters of Credit or enter into any amendment with respect thereto shall be 

 

 17 

 
immediately suspended. The Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the existence and nature of any restriction which would cause the suspension of the commitment of the Bank to issue the
Letters of Credit or to enter into amendments with respect thereto. The Borrower will thereupon undertake reasonable efforts to obtain the cancellation of all outstanding Letters of Credit; provided, however, that the refusal of any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit to surrender such Letter of Credit will not be an Event of Default hereunder, provided that the Borrower shall undertake good faith efforts to obtain substitute letters of credit for the then existing and outstanding Letters of
Credit. Nothing contained in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and, in the event of a suspension of the commitment of the Bank to issue Letters of Credit as set forth above, the Borrower may
continue to borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitment provided the requirements of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 are complied with. 
 2.11d
Procedures for Issuance of Letters of Credit. When the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver a duly completed application and agreement for Letter of Credit to the Bank no later than 10:00 A.M.
(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) at least three (3) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Bank, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and, if
applicable, Section 7.2, the Bank shall be obligated to issue the Letter of Credit. In determining whether to pay under a Letter of Credit, the Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be
delivered under the Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of the Letter of Credit. 

2.11e Reimbursement of Draws. In the event of any request for drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Bank shall
immediately notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall reimburse, or cause the reimbursement of, the Bank on demand as set forth in the applicable application and agreement for Letter of Credit in an amount in same day funds equal to the amount of
such drawing; provided, however, that anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Bank prior to such time that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Bank for all or a portion of
the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a loan request to the Bank requesting the Bank to make Revolving Credit Loans on the first Business Day immediately
following the date on which such drawing is honored in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the amount received by the Bank from such other funds in reimbursement thereof (the “Unreimbursed L/C Draw”),
plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 2.3a(i). Any such Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed advanced to the Borrower. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied directly by the Bank to
reimburse the Bank for the Unreimbursed L/C Draw plus accrued interest on such amount. The foregoing shall not limit or impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Bank on demand. 

2.11f Reimbursement Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement to reimburse the Bank for all drawings upon
the Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall not be subject to any right of set-off or counterclaim and shall be paid or performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances
whatsoever, including the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit or any of the Loan Documents; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of any provision of all or any of the Loan Documents;

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

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

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

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, not resulting from gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Bank; and 
 (vii) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. 
 2.11g Construed with Applications. This Agreement is intended to supplement each application and agreement for
Letter of Credit executed by the Borrower and delivered to the Bank. Whenever possible this Agreement is to be construed as consistent with each application and agreement for Letter of Credit but, to the extent that the provisions of this Agreement
and each application and agreement for Letter of Credit conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
  

 18 

 2.11h Letter of Credit Indemnity. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this
Section 2.11, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
which the Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit or any amendment thereto, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) the failure of the Bank to honor a draw under any Letter of Credit if the Bank in good faith and upon advice of counsel believes that it is prohibited from making such payment as a result of
any requirement of Law or of any Governmental Authority, or (iii) any material breach by the Borrower of any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, any document related to the issuance
or any amendment of the Letters of Credit. If any proceeding shall be brought or threatened against the Bank by reason of or in connection with any event described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Bank shall promptly notify the
Borrower in writing, and the Borrower shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of all costs of litigation. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Bank shall have the right to employ their own counsel and
to determine its own defense of such action in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Bank unless (x) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Borrower,
(y) the Borrower, after the aforementioned notice of the action, shall not have employed counsel to have charge of such defense or (z) if the position of the Borrower is adverse or contrary to the position advocated by the Bank, as the
case may be. In each case described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) immediately above the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Bank, as the case may be shall be borne by the Borrower. The Borrower shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action affected without its consent. 
 2.11i Payments without Inquiry. The Bank is hereby expressly
authorized and directed to honor any request for payment which is made under and in compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit without regard to, and without any duty on the Bank’s part to inquire into, the existence of any disputes or
controversies between the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, or the respective rights, duties or liabilities of any of them or whether any facts or occurrences represented in any of the documents presented under
any Letter of Credit are true or correct. Furthermore, the Borrower fully understands and agrees that the Bank’s sole obligation to the Borrower shall be limited to honoring requests for payment made under and in compliance with the terms of
any Letter of Credit, the application and agreement for Letter of Credit therefor and this Agreement and the Bank’s obligation remains so limited even if the Bank may have assisted the Borrower in the preparation of the wording of any Letter of
Credit or any documents required to be presented thereunder or that the Bank may otherwise be aware of the underlying transaction giving rise to any Letter of Credit and this Agreement. 

2.11j Limitations on Liability of Bank. As between the Borrower and the Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of,
or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Bank shall not be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal
effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for or the issuance or amendment of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or
forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign the Letters of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to
be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telecopy, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or
otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under the Letters of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Bank, including, without limitation, any Law; and (ix) for any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under a Letter of Credit; except
that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Bank, and the Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be the result of (i) the Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, (ii) the Bank’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence in paying a draw under a Letter of Credit to any Person other than the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or its lawful successor, representative or assign (or as otherwise directed in writing by the beneficiary of
such Letter of Credit) or (iii) the Bank’s willful failure to pay under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or its lawful successor, representative or assign of a sight draft and
certificate or other documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, unless the Bank in good faith and upon advice of counsel believes that it is prohibited by law or other legal authority from making such
payment. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. 
 2.11k
Reduction in Credit Rating of Bank. Except for the Bank’s obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder and its obligations under such Letters of Credit, the Bank shall have no liability to the Borrower from a reduction of the
Bank’s credit rating or any deterioration in its financial condition. 
  

 19 

 2.11l Expenses. The Borrower shall bear and pay all reasonable expenses of every kind
(including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the enforcement of any of the Bank’s rights under this Agreement or the Letters of Credit, or of any claim or demand by the Bank against the Borrower, or of any actual or attempted sale,
exchange, enforcement, collection, maintenance, retention, insurance, compromise, settlement, release, delivery on trust receipt, or other security agreement, or delivery of any such security, and of the receipt of proceeds thereof, and will repay
to the Bank any such expenses incurred by the Bank. 
 2.11m Good Faith Actions. In furtherance and extension and not in
limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or the related sight drafts or certificates or documents, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall
not put the Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower. 
 2.11n Subrogation Rights of Bank. Whenever appropriate to
prevent unjust enrichment and to the end that the Borrower shall bear substantially all of the risks relative to any Letter of Credit and the underlying transactions, the Bank shall be subrogated (for purposes of defending against the
Borrower’s claims and proceeding against others to the extent of the Bank’s liability to the Borrower) to the Borrower’s rights against any Person who may be liable to the Borrower on any underlying transaction, to the rights of any
holder in due course or Person with similar status against the Borrower, and to the rights of the beneficiary or its assignee or person with similar status against the Borrower.

hereunder and all transactions in connection therewith shall be interpreted, construed and enforced according to: (i) the “Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits” (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce
Publication No. 500 and subsequent revisions thereof which shall supersede inconsistent provisions of applicable law to the extent not prohibited by applicable law and (ii) the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including, without

provisions hereof, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as such enforceability may be limited by the availability of equitable remedies. 

4.6 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Borrower and the consummation of the

the intentions of the Borrower’s management. Such projections accurately reflect the liabilities of the Borrower upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as of the Closing Date. No material events have occurred since the
preparation of the projections which would cause the projections taken as a whole, not to be reasonably attainable. 
 4.8 Material
Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2008, no Material Adverse Change has occurred. 
 4.9 Solvency. The Borrower is,
and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be, Solvent.

Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower at law or in equity, before any Governmental Authority, court or arbitrator which, individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to be material or which purport to
affect the rights and remedies of the Bank pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or which purport to restrain or enjoin (either temporarily, preliminarily or permanently) the performance by either the Borrower or any Subsidiary of
the Borrower of any action contemplated by any of the Loan Documents. All pending and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened actions, suits, proceedings and investigations affecting the Borrower and any Subsidiary of the Borrower are set

Each collective bargaining agreement and labor contract listed on Schedule 4.12 is in full force and effect as of the date hereof. Neither the Borrower, nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower, has, within the two-year period preceding the date

and that 
  

 23 

 
the trusts related thereto are exempt from tax under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Nothing has occurred with respect to any such Plan or Benefit Arrangement
or to the related trusts since the date of the most recent favorable determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service which has affected or may reasonably be expected to affect adversely such qualification or exemption.

Plan if such Plan were terminated immediately.

Section 4043(b) of ERISA or in PBGC Regulation Section 2615.23) has occurred with respect to any Plan.

which has not been discharged or satisfied. No such Termination Event is reasonably anticipated to occur which will result in an Encumbrance in favor of the PBGC against the property or rights to property of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate.

the Bank has deposited in the Cash Collateral Account any amounts described above is cancelled or expires or in the event of any reduction in the maximum amount available at any time for drawing under the Letters of Credit outstanding, the Bank

8.2d Additional Remedies. In addition to the remedies set forth above, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank shall have all
of the rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all other rights and remedies granted to creditors by law, in equity, or otherwise. 

8.2e Exercise of Remedies; Remedies Cumulative. No delay on the part of the Bank or failure by the Bank to exercise any power, right or
remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power, right or remedy or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or remedy
preclude other or further exercises thereof, or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies (including, without
limitation, the right of specific performance) which the Bank would otherwise have. 
 ARTICLE 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 9.5b Right of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and
the Notes are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of setoff in
respect of its Participation in amounts owing under this Agreement and the Notes to the same extent as if the amount of its Participation were owing directly to it as a lender under this Agreement or the Notes. 

9.5c Withholding of Income Taxes. If any Participant or purchasing lender is not a United States person within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code such Participant of purchasing lender shall promptly (but in any event prior to the initial payment of interest hereunder) deliver to the Borrower and the Bank two executed copies of
(i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form specifying the applicable tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction of such Participant’s or purchasing lender’s domicile that provides for the exemption
from withholding on interest payments to such Participant or purchasing lender, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor form evidencing that the income to be received by such Participant or purchasing lender hereunder is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (iii) other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Bank that such Participant or purchasing lender is exempt from United States income tax withholding
with respect to such income. Such Participant or purchasing lender shall amend or supplement any such form or evidence as required to insure that it is accurate, complete and non-misleading at all times. In addition, from time to time upon the
reasonable request of Borrower and the Bank, each Participant or purchasing lender shall complete and provide Borrower and the Bank with such forms, certificates or other documents as may be reasonably necessary to allow Borrower or the Bank, as
applicable, to make any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without any withholding for or on the account of any Tax pursuant to Section 2.5b hereof. 

9.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Bank and their respective successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Bank and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not assign its rights or duties hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior
written consent of the Bank. 
 9.7 Confidentiality. The Bank shall keep confidential and not disclose to any Person, other than
its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents, and to actual or potential Participants, all non-public information concerning the Borrower and the Borrower’s Affiliates which comes into the Bank’s possession during the term
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank may disclose information concerning the Loan Parties (i) in accordance with normal banking practices and the Bank’s policies concerning disclosure of such information, (ii) to any
Participant or potential Participant, (iii) pursuant to what the Bank believes to be the lawful requirements or request of any Governmental Authority regulating banks or banking, (iv) as required by any Governmental Rule, judicial process
or subpoena, and (v) to its attorneys, accountants and auditors. 
 9.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or enforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof in such jurisdiction or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such or any other provision hereof in any other jurisdiction. 
 9.9 Interest Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein contained, the total liability of the Borrower for payment of interest pursuant hereto shall not exceed the maximum amount, if any, of such interest permitted by any applicable Governmental Rule to be contracted for,
charged or received, and if any payment by the Borrower to the Bank includes interest in excess of such a maximum amount, the Bank shall apply such excess to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount due pursuant hereto, or if none is due, such
excess shall be refunded to the Borrower; provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, in the event the interest is not collected, is applied to principal or is refunded pursuant to this sentence and interest
thereafter payable pursuant hereto shall be less than such maximum amount, then such interest thereafter so payable shall be increased up to such maximum amount to the extent necessary to recover the amount of interest, if any, theretofore
uncollected, applied top principal or refunded pursuant to this sentence. Any such application or refund shall not cure or waive any Default or Event of Default. In determining whether or not any interest payable under this Agreement exceeds the
highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically stated in this Agreement to be “interest”) shall be deemed, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather
than interest. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower hereby waives any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any respect. 

9.10 Survival. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.20, 5.13, 9.2 and 9.3, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
of the Borrower contained herein or in the other Loan Documents or made in writing in connection herewith shall survive the issuance of the Notes and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the Borrower may borrow hereunder and so long
thereafter until all of the Obligations are paid in full. 
 9.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF REGARDING CONFLICT OF LAWS, EXCEPTING APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW AND EXCEPT ONLY TO THE EXTENT PRECLUDED BY THE MANDATORY
APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

 9.12 FORUM. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THE BORROWER IS A PARTY MAY BE COMMENCED IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA OR IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND
THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT A SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT COMMENCING AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN EITHER OF SUCH COURTS SHALL BE PROPERLY SERVED AND SHALL CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION IF SERVED PERSONALLY OR BY CERTIFIED MAIL TO THE PARTIES AT THEIR
ADDRESSES SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.4, OR AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. FURTHER, THE BORROWER HEREBY SPECIFICALLY CONSENTS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA AND THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA AND WAIVES AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED FROM RAISING ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS, ANY CLAIM THAT EITHER SUCH
COURT LACKS PROPER VENUE OR ANY OBJECTION THAT EITHER SUCH COURT LACKS PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER SO AS TO PROHIBIT EITHER SUCH COURT FROM ADJUDICATING ANY ISSUES RAISED IN A COMPLAINT FILED WITH EITHER SUCH COURT AGAINST THE BORROWER
BY THE BANK CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR PAYMENT TO THE BANK. THE BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CHOICE OF FORUM CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.12 SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY
JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ANY FORUM OR THE TAKING OF ANY ACTION UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO ENFORCE THE SAME IN ANY APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. 

9.13 Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes is due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such

 9.14 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
hereto relating to this financing transaction and it supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto relating to the transactions provided for herein.

meaning or construction of this Agreement. 
 9.16 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be
executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement,
it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the other party against whom enforcement is sought. This Agreement shall become binding when the parties have delivered (which delivery may be by
telecopier) at least one executed counterpart hereof or of the signature page hereto. 
 9.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ORDER TO
EXPEDITE THE RESOLUTION OF ANY DISPUTES WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH THE BORROWER IS A PARTY, AND IN LIGHT OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT TO WHICH THEY MAY BOTH BE PARTIES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER CAUSE OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM OF ANY KIND OR NATURE. BOTH PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED

(a) any misrepresentation in or omission from any of the representations, warranties, statements, schedules and exhibits in or to this

pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement and reflected on the Loan Account maintained by the Bank pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement. 

All of the outstanding principal balance hereunder shall be due and payable in its entirety at maturity, whether on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, upon acceleration, or otherwise, all as more fully described in the Credit Agreement. 
 Interest on the
unpaid principal balance hereof shall be due and payable on the dates and at the times set forth in the Credit Agreement and at maturity, whether on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, upon acceleration, or otherwise, and shall be calculated and
paid in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The interest rate will be adjusted, when necessary and if appropriate, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Interest payments shall be made at the office of the Bank set

 This Revolving Credit Note is the Revolving Credit Note referred to in the Credit Agreement. Reference is made

received payment in full of the debt, interest and costs.

GUARANTY

becomes surety for, the complete, due and punctual payment of the Obligations, and for the complete, due and punctual performance by the Borrower of each of Obligations and each of the other terms and provisions of the Agreement, the Notes, the
other Loan Documents and the other documents, instruments and agreements evidencing or securing any of the Obligations as and when the same shall become due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) according to the terms thereof. This is

same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, and as if such payment was made by the Borrower. The Bank shall not be required, as a condition of the liability of the Guarantor, to make any demand

 
upon, or to pursue any of the rights of the Bank against, the Borrower, or to pursue any rights which may be available to the Bank, with respect to any other Person who may be liable for the
payment of any of the Obligations to the Bank. This Guaranty Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments of the Bank to the Borrower and the surrender of
all Letters of Credit for cancellation has occurred.

time, it shall make any payment to the Bank on account of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, it will notify the Bank in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty Agreement for such purpose.

Bank from the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations,
shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments other than payments made by the Guarantor in respect of the Obligations (in accordance
with the terms and provisions hereof) or payments received or collected from the Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for the Obligations until the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments of

instrument or agreement evidencing or securing any of the Obligations; 
 (d) any change in the corporate or other existence,
structure or ownership of the Guarantor or the Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or its assets (irrespective of any release or deferral of the liability of the Guarantor to pay
all or any part Obligations or any of the Borrower’s other obligations under the Notes, the Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, instrument or agreement evidencing or securing any of the Obligations pursuant to any such
insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding);

(h) any other act or failure to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever
that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement; 

(i) the existence of, or any execution on or attachment of, or any failure by the Bank (voluntarily or otherwise) to resort to, any
other security or any other rights held or hereafter held or to be held by the Bank to secure any or all of the Obligations or other obligations of the Borrower under the Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other document,

event exceed the amount of the unpaid Obligations for which the Guarantor can be lawfully liable under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 (b) The Guarantor agrees that the obligations owing by the Borrower may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum
amount of the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement without impairing the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of the Bank under this Guaranty Agreement, under any Loan
Document or under any other document, instrument or agreement or securing any of the Obligations. 
 Section 2.04.
Discharge; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments
to the Borrower and the surrender of all Letters of Credit for cancellation has occurred. If at any time any payment (or part thereof) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy

 Section 2.05. Right of Set-off. Upon any or all of the Obligations becoming due and payable (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Guarantor at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, any such notice being hereby waived by the Guarantor, to set-off and
appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Bank to
or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts, not to exceed the amount then due, as the Bank, as the case may be, may elect, whether or not the Bank have made any demand for payment and although such
liabilities may be contingent or unmatured. The Bank shall notify the Guarantor of any such set-off made by the Bank and the application made by the Bank of the proceeds thereof; provided, 

 
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Bank hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Bank may have. 
 Section 2.06. No Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Bank, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Bank against the Borrower
or against any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Bank for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of any payments (or any parts thereof)
made by the Guarantor hereunder until the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments to the Borrower and the surrender of all Letters of Credit for cancellation has occurred. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably,
unconditionally and absolutely waives and agrees not to exercise or claim any rights which it may acquire or claim by way of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any payments made or performance by the Guarantor
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any other documents, instrument or agreement evidencing or securing any of the Obligations until the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments to the Borrower and the
surrender of all Letters of Credit for cancellation has occurred.

the Bank and, until the Bank shall have been paid in full, any right the undersigned might otherwise have to the marshalling of any assets of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or the Guarantor with respect to any of the Obligations. 

Section 2.08. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower with

liability any other guarantor of, or surety for, the payment of any of the Obligations and the Guarantor agrees to remain bound hereby notwithstanding.

except Permitted Encumbrances. 
 Section 3.14. Insurance. There are in full force and effect for the benefit of the
Guarantor insurance policies and bonds providing adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in amounts sufficient to insure the assets and risks of the Guarantor in accordance with prudent business practice in the industry of

relocation notices, immigration controls and worker and unemployment compensation, except where the failure to comply would not constitute a Material Adverse Change. There are no outstanding grievances, arbitration awards or appeals therefrom
arising out of the labor contracts or current or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened strikes, picketing, handbilling or other work stoppages or slowdowns at facilities of the Guarantor which in any case would constitute a Material Adverse
Change. All payments due from the Guarantor on account of employee health and welfare insurance which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Guarantor.

Indebtedness pursuant to this Guaranty Agreement and to the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty Agreement, the Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the other documents, instruments and agreements evidencing or securing any of
the Obligations, and the payment of all estimated legal and other fees related hereto and thereto, the Guarantor is Solvent as of and on the Closing Date and at all times thereafter. 

Section 3.17. Burdensome Restrictions. No contract, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or
is bound and no provision of applicable law or governmental regulation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. 

Section 3.18. No Material Adverse Change. No event has occurred since December 31, 2004 and is continuing which has had
or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. 
 Section 3.19. Fair Consideration. The
statements set forth in the recitals hereto are true and correct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the full and punctual guarantee of the Obligations, as determined in accordance with the
terms and provisions hereof, accurately represents and does not exceed the fair value of the consideration received and to be received by the Guarantor from the Borrower for the incurrence of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty
Agreement. 
 Section 3.20. Review of Documents. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that it has reviewed
the Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the other documents, instruments and agreements evidencing or securing any of the Obligations and, after consultation with legal counsel, acknowledges and consents to the terms of each.

same shall become due and payable, whether at 
  

 - 33 -

Bank from the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations,

with the terms and provisions hereof) or payments received or collected from the Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for the Obligations until the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments of

(d) any change in the corporate or other existence, structure or ownership of the Guarantor or the Borrower, or any insolvency,

the Obligations continued; or 
 (k) the refusal or failure (whether intentional, negligent or otherwise) of the Bank or any

(including this Guaranty Agreement) or any other document, instrument or agreement evidencing or securing any of the Obligations or any property subject thereto. 

Section 2.03. Insolvency Laws and Savings Clause. 

(a) Anything in this Guaranty Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no
event exceed the amount of the unpaid Obligations for which the Guarantor can be lawfully liable under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 (b) The Guarantor agrees that the obligations owing by the Borrower may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum
amount of the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement without impairing the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of the Bank under this Guaranty Agreement, under any Loan
Document or under any other document, instrument or agreement or securing any of the Obligations.

 Section 2.05. Right of Set-off. Upon any or all of the Obligations becoming due and payable (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Guarantor at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, any such notice being hereby waived by the Guarantor, to set-off and
appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Bank to
or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts, not to exceed the amount then due, as the Bank, as the case may be, may elect, whether or not the Bank have made any demand for payment and although such

  

 - 36 - 

 
liabilities may be contingent or unmatured. The Bank shall notify the Guarantor of any such set-off made by the Bank and the application made by the Bank of the proceeds thereof; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Bank hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which
Bank may have. 
 Section 2.06. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor
hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Bank, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Bank against the Borrower or against any collateral security or guaranty or right of
offset held by the Bank for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of any payments (or any parts thereof) made by the Guarantor hereunder until the payment in full
of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments to the Borrower and the surrender of all Letters of Credit for cancellation has occurred. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely waives and agrees not to
exercise or claim any rights which it may acquire or claim by way of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any payments made or performance by the Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any other
documents, instrument or agreement evidencing or securing any of the Obligations until the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of all lending commitments to the Borrower and the surrender of all Letters of Credit for cancellation has
occurred. 
 Section 2.07. Waiver. The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest
and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower or any other Person. The Guarantor also waives any notice of the creation, incurrence, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank. The Guarantor also waives presentment and any notices with respect to any evidence of any of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank and, until the Bank shall have been paid in full,
any right the undersigned might otherwise have to the marshalling of any assets of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or the Guarantor with respect to any of the Obligations. 
 Section 2.08. Stay of
Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of the Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Bank. 

Section 2.09. Assignment or Transfer; Waiver. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that: (a) this Guaranty Agreement shall
continue to be binding and in full force and effect notwithstanding (i) any transfer or assignment by the Borrower of the obligations under the Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other documents, instrument or agreement
evidencing or securing any of the Obligations to any Person or (ii) any transfer or assignment of the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement to any Person; and (b) it shall waive each 

 

 - 37 - 

 
and all of its rights (whether legal, equitable, statutory or otherwise) as surety which may at any time be inconsistent with this Guaranty Agreement or in any way restrict or prejudicially
affect the rights, remedies or recourse of the Bank hereunder.

 SUBORDINATION AND STAND-BY AGREEMENT 

THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (together with all amendments, supplements, renewals, replacements or other modifications thereto or
thereof, “Agreement”) made as of February 27, 2009, among PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Bank”), UNIVERSAL STAINLESS & ALLOY PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Debtor”) and USAP HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Creditor”). 
 RECITALS 

To induce the Bank to extend or continue financial accommodation, credit all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, present
or future, to the Debtor under and pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement (together with all amendments, supplements, renewals, replacements or other modifications thereto or thereof, referred to herein as the “Credit Agreement”)
between the Bank and the Debtor dated as of February 27, 2009, and the notes and other loan documents provided in connection with the Credit Agreement (collectively the “Senior Obligations”) and in consideration of such financial
accommodation and credit, 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 1. Subordination. Except as set forth in Section 2 hereof, until all the Senior Obligations have been fully paid,
(a) the Creditor shall not demand or receive from the Debtor any part of the loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations of any kind or nature now owing by the Debtor to the Creditor or that may hereafter be due and payable to the
Creditor by the Debtor as evidenced by that certain Note of the Debtor in the original principal amount of $60,000,000 or any replacement thereof or substitute therefor (the “Subordinated Note”) and (b) the Debtor shall not make
payment on the Subordinated Note. The Debtor shall not grant or give a security interest in any of the Debtor’s property to the Creditor to secure its obligations under the Subordinated Note. The Creditor waives all notice of the acceptance of
this Agreement by the Bank, or of the creation, renewal, extension, or accrual of the Senior Obligations, or of the reliance of the Bank upon this Agreement. 

2. Payments on Subordinated Note. 

a. Interest. The Debtor may make scheduled payments of interest, when due, on the Subordinated Note in accordance with the terms
of the Subordinated Note and the Creditor may receive such interest payments so long as no Event of Default as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement (a “Senior Event of Default”) or condition, event, omission or act, which with the
giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (“Potential Default”) exists at the time of such payment or would result from such payment. 

b. Principal. The Debtor may not make any payment of principal on the Subordinated Note without the express prior written consent
to the Bank, unless the Senior Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment terminated. 
  

 - 3 - 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Debtor shall make any payment to the Creditor
prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, then in such event such payment shall be received and held in trust for the Bank and shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Bank, to the extent necessary to pay all such
Senior Obligations in full. 
 3. Standby Limitation. Notwithstanding any breach or default by the Debtor under the
Subordinated Note, the Creditor shall not at any time or in any manner accelerate the Subordinated Note or proceed in any way to enforce any claims it has or may have against the Debtor without the express prior written consent of the Bank unless or
until the Senior Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment terminated. 
 4. Subordinated
Note. The Creditor shall cause a conspicuous legend to be placed on the Subordinated Note to the following effect: 

“This Note and the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinate and junior to the Senior Obligations, to the extent and in the
manner set forth in the Subordination and Stand-By Agreement dated as of February 27, 2009 by Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc., and the payee of this Note in favor of PNC Bank, National Association.” 

The Creditor shall deliver to the Bank a photocopy of the original executed Subordinated Note as marked with the above legend at the
Closing. 
 5. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution. In the event of (i) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or
proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Debtor or to its assets, (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Debtor, whether
voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Debtor, then and in any such event: 

(x) the holder of Senior Obligations shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on
or in respect of all Senior Obligations, before the Creditor is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Note; and 

(y) any payment or distribution of assets of the Debtor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
by set-off or otherwise, to which the Bank would be entitled, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Debtor being subordinated to the payment of the
Senior Obligations shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holder of Senior Obligations
to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Obligations in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Bank; and 

(z) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Creditor shall have received any such payment or distribution of
assets of the Debtor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Debtor being
subordinated to the 
  

 - 4 - 

 
payment of the Senior Obligations before all Senior Obligations are paid in full, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the Bank and shall be
paid over or delivered forthwith to the Bank to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Obligations in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Bank. 

The Bank may, in its discretion, file a proof of claim for or collect the Creditor’s claim to the extent of the unpaid Senior
Obligations first for the benefit of the Bank and then for the benefit of the Creditor (but without creating any duty or liability to the Creditor other than to remit to the Creditor distributions, if any, actually received in such proceedings after
the Senior Obligations have been satisfied in full) directly from the receiver, trustee, liquidation or representative of the Debtor’s estate in such proceeding. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Debtor referred to in this Section 5, the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any
order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Bank for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Obligations and other Indebtedness of the Debtor, the amount thereof or payable thereon and the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon.

pendency of such court proceeding and the Creditor’s consent to such financing shall not be required regardless of whether the court supervising such proceeding approves, grants or allows adequate protection to the Creditor.
