     This First Amendment to First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is dated September      , 2009, by and among RTI International Metals, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), National City Bank, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), PNC, as documentation agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Documentation Agent”), Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”) (“First Amendment”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
     WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent entered into that certain First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2008 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and
     WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent shall permit such amendments pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     1. All capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning herein as in the Credit Agreement unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
     2. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the following definitions in their entirety and in their stead inserting the following:
     Applicable Margin means, from time to time, the percentages per annum determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio in respect of the facility fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and the Revolving Loans as set forth on Schedule 2.10.
     Base Rate means for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the interest rate per annum announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office as its then prime rate, which rate may not be the lowest rate then being charged commercial borrowers by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate plus one-half of one percent (.50%) per annum, or (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate plus one percent (1.00%) per annum.


 

     Consolidated EBITDA means, for any period and effective as of September 30, 2009, the sum (without duplication) of (a) Consolidated Net Income for such period, plus, (b) without duplication and to the extent deducted in determining such Consolidated Net Income, the sum of (i) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period, (ii) income tax expense for such period, and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense for such period, all determined on a consolidated basis for each such item in accordance with GAAP; (iv) all other non-cash charges (including impairment charges with respect to good will and other intangibles) and expenses (including stock based compensation) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (v) charges, expenses and fees incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Loans, (vi) non-recurring charges, fees and expenses incurred in connection with corporate restructurings and acquisitions, in an aggregate amount not to exceed Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) during the term of this Agreement, and minus, to the extent included in determining such consolidated net income, any non-cash income or non-cash gains, all as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA will be calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to acquisitions and sales (other than in the ordinary course of business) by the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries consummated on or after the first (1st) day of a measurement period and prior to the date of determination as if effective on the first (1st) day of such period.
     3. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is further amended by inserting the following defined terms in appropriate alphabetical order:
     Daily LIBOR Rate means, for any day, the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent by dividing (x) the Published Rate by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the percentage prescribed by the Federal Reserve for determining the maximum reserve requirements with respect to any eurocurrency funding by banks on such day.
     Federal Funds Alternate Source shall have the meaning assigned to that term in the definition of Federal Funds Open Rate.
     Federal Funds Open Rate means, for any day, the rate per annum (based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed) which is the daily federal funds open rate as quoted by ICAP North America, Inc. (or any successor) as set forth on the Bloomberg Screen BTMM for that day opposite the caption “OPEN” (or on such other substitute Bloomberg Screen that displays such rate), or as set forth on such other recognized

The rate of interest charged shall be adjusted as of each Business Day based on changes in the Federal Funds Open Rate without notice to the Borrower.
     Principal Office means the main banking office of the Administrative Agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
     Published Rate means the rate of interest published each Business Day in The Wall Street Journal “Money Rates” listing under the caption “London Interbank Offered Rates” for a one (1) month period (or, if no such rate is published therein for any reason, then the Published Rate shall be the eurodollar rate for a one (1) month period as published in another publication determined by the Administrative Agent).
     4. Effective as of October 1, 2009, Section 7.04(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and in its stead is inserted the following:
