as prescribed in Section 2.3.

 

(d)          Commitment
Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a commitment fee on the monthly average daily unused portion of the Commitment

Repayments. The aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the Expiration Date, together with accrued and unpaid

Standard Notice to the Lender, in each case specifying the date and the amount of payment.

applicable conditions set forth in Article V, the Lender will make available the proceeds of its Loan to the Borrower by crediting

shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations to repay the Borrowing and to pay interest thereon.

Amounts. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, every selection of, and conversion from or to, an interest rate option,

principal, interest, or fees under this Agreement are not paid within ten (10) days after their due date, and in such a case, the

3.5           Computation
of Interest and Fees; Determinations by Lender.

 

(a)          Calculations.
Interest and commitment fees and other fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. Any
change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the LIBOR Monthly Rate shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day on which such change in the Base Rate or LIBOR Monthly Rate shall become effective.

 

(b)          Determination
by Lender. Each determination of an interest rate, fee, cost, indemnification or other amount by the Lender pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

 

3.6           Payments.
The Borrower shall make each payment of principal, interest, fees, indemnity, expenses or other amount hereunder or under any Loan
Document, without setoff or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the day when due in Dollars
to the Lender at the office of the Lender designated from time to time, in immediately available funds, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue, and without

3.7           Payment
on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included
in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

 

3.8           Inability
to Determine Interest Rate; Ineffective Interest Rate. If the Lender shall have determined, in its sole, reasonable discretion,
that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the LIBOR Rate, (b) the LIBOR Monthly Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the effective cost to the Lender of funding
the Loans or (c) the making, maintenance or funding of a LIBOR Monthly Rate Loan has been made impractical or unlawful, then,
and in any such event, the Lender may notify the Borrower of such determination. 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 the Lender to make or maintain Loans
at the LIBOR Monthly Rate shall be suspended until the Lender shall have revoked such notice, and the Lender, at its option, may

3.9           Increased
Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. 

 

(a)          Costs
and Returns. If the Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation of,
any Law, or the Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to the Lender of agreeing to make
or making, funding or maintaining a Loan or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by the Lender in connection with any
of the foregoing (excluding any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) changes in the basis of taxation
of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of
either thereof under the Laws of which the Lender is organized or has its principal lending office and (ii) reserve requirements
utilized in the determination of the LIBOR Rate), then from time to time upon demand of the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the
Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

 

(b)          Capital
Adequacy. If the Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in
the interpretation thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or its principal lending office) therewith, has the effect of reducing
the rate of return on the capital of the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender as a consequence of the Lender’s
obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and the Lender’s desired return
on capital), then from time to time upon demand of the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as
will compensate the Lender for such reduction.

 

3.10         Calculations.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under Section 3.9, the Lender shall be deemed to
have funded each LIBOR Monthly Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank Eurodollar market for
a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded. In determining such amount, the
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

9.12         Setoff.
 In the event that any obligation of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall have become due and payable, the Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time and from time to time following
an Event of Default, without prior notice, (a) to set off against, and to appropriate and apply to the payment of, the obligations
and liabilities of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent or liquidated or unliquidated)
any and all amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrower (whether payable in Dollars or any other currency, whether matured or
unmatured, and, in the case of deposits, whether general or special, time or demand and however evidenced) and (b) pending any
such action, to the extent necessary, to hold such amounts as collateral to secure such obligations and liabilities and to return
as unpaid for insufficient funds any and all checks and other items drawn against any deposits so held as such Lender in its sole
discretion may elect. The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a security interest in all deposits and accounts maintained with,
and all other assets of the Borrower in the possession of, the Lender (but not payroll, sales tax or other fiduciary accounts,
that are segregated from other accounts of the Borrower and identified and used only as such). The rights of the Lender under this
Section 9.12 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have. The
Borrower agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Affiliate of the Lender, and any holder of a participation in
any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement, shall have the same rights of setoff as the Lender as provided in this Section

of applicable Law limiting the maximum amount of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender from the Borrower. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, in any action, suit or proceeding pertaining to this Agreement, the burden of proof, by clear
and convincing evidence, shall be on the Borrower to demonstrate that this Section 9.13 applies to limit any obligation of
the Borrower under this Agreement or to require the Lender to make any refund, or claiming that this Agreement conflicts with any
applicable law limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by the Lender from the Borrower, as to each
element of such claim.

prospective party (or its partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, advisors or other
representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to Borrower
and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (h) with the consent of Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information

OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM

III of Pub. L. 107-56), as amended, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrower
