(b)         Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Term SOFR Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.13 and (ii) the Term SOFR Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than ten separate Revolving Credit Borrowings.

(c)         Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  In the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Term SOFR Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Revolving Credit Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d)         Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent an amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry interbank compensation rules.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower to the Agent for such period.  If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against the Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

(e)          The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, as an accommodation to the Borrower, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Borrowings made on the Effective Date shall (i) initially be at the Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Rate Advances, and shall have an Interest Period of one month or (ii) have the same Interest Period(s) as the loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date, as agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent.

Section 2.03        Swing Line Advances.

(a)         Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying on the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swing Line Lender shall make swing line loans (the “Swing Line Advances”) to the Borrower at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including the Termination Date in an aggregate outstanding principal amount up to but not in excess of the amount of the Swing Line Commitment as requested by the Borrower; provided, that, (a) after giving effect to any amount requested, the Revolving Credit Advances outstanding shall not exceed the Commitments of all of the Lenders and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Advances (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Commitments of all of the Lenders less the sum of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and the Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the Swing Line Commitment.  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may prior to the Termination Date borrow, repay and reborrow under the Swing Line Commitment, subject to and in accordance with the terms and limitations hereof.  The interest rate for a Swing Line Advance shall be Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Term SOFR Rate Advances (or, if Daily Simple SOFR is unavailable, the Base Rate (calculated without reference to clause (c) thereof) plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Base Rate Advances), and such interest shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month.

(b)         Each request for a Swing Line Advance (each a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be in writing (or by telephone immediately confirmed in writing, it being understood that the Swing Line Lender may rely on the authority of any individual making such telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation) in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto and received by the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the Business Day such Swing Line Advance is to be made (or such later time as the Swing Line Lender shall agree in its discretion), specifying in each case (i) the amount to be borrowed, and (ii) the requested borrowing date.  The request for such Swing Line Advance shall be irrevocable.  The Swing Line Lender shall, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date specified in the Borrower’s request for such Swing Line Advance, make such Swing Line Advance by crediting the deposit account designated by the Borrower in writing at the time of such request.  Each Swing Line Advance shall be in an original principal amount of $100,000 or in integral amounts of $100,000 in excess thereof.  The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Swing Line Advances may be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower dated the date hereof, payable to the Swing Line Lender in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment and substantially in the form of Exhibit A‑2 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swing Line Note”).

(c)         The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Swing Line Advances, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon prior written, facsimile or telephonic notice to the Swing Line Lender given no later than 1:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of any proposed prepayment (each such date, a “Swing Line Prepayment Date”).  Each notice of prepayment shall specify the Swing Line Advance to be prepaid and the amount to be prepaid (which, except in the case of payment in full, shall be in the principal amount of $100,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof), shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such amount on such date.  All Swing Line Advances and accrued interest thereon shall be payable on the Termination Date.

(d)         If a Swing Line Advance has not been repaid within seven (7) Business Days of the date that such Swing Line Advance was made, the Swing Line Lender shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify each Lender thereof and of each Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Ratable Share) thereof.  Each Lender shall before 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the next Business Day and whether or not one or more Events of Default shall exist (other than an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e)) make available to the Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Ratable Share) of the principal amount of such Swing Line Advance outstanding.  Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower, notwithstanding any failure of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions in Section 3.02.  The Agent shall use such funds to repay the principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to the Swing Line Lender.  The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender a Revolving Credit Advance as provided in this Section 2.03(d) shall be treated for all purposes in the same manner as the failure of a Lender to make a Revolving Credit Advance under Section 2.02(d) and (e) and shall be subject to the provisions of such Sections.

(e)         Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest on Swing Line Advances”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Advance, payable on demand at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest payable hereunder with respect to Swing Line Advances that is not paid when due, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest on Swing Line Advances shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent and shall be paid in full on demand.

(f)           In the event that (i) the Borrower shall fail to repay the Swing Line Lender (A) the outstanding Swing Line Advances together with accrued interest thereon on the Termination Date, (B) the amount of any Swing Line Advance on any Swing Line Prepayment Date for such Swing Line Advance or (C) any amounts required under Section 2.03(g), or (ii) an Event of Default shall occur under Section 6.01(e), the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Advance(s) (including accrued interest thereon) and of such Lender’s respective participation therein in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount.  Each Lender shall make available to the Agent for payment to the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation therein (including without limitation its pro rata share of accrued but unpaid interest thereon), in same day funds, at the office of the Agent specified in such notice.  If such notice is delivered by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), each Lender shall make funds available to the Agent on that Business Day.  If such notice is delivered after 11:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), each Lender shall make funds available to the Agent on the next Business Day.  In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation in such unpaid amount as provided herein, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for each day during the period between the Business Day such payment is due in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.03(f) and the date on which such Lender makes available its participation in such unpaid amount.  The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent its Ratable Share of any such unpaid amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make available to the Agent its Ratable Share of such unpaid amount on the Business Day such payment is due in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.03(f).  The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.03(f) with respect to the unpaid amount of any Swing Line Advance, such Lender’s Ratable Share of all payments received by the Agent from the Borrower in repayment of such Swing Line Advance when such payments are received; provided, however, that in the event that any payment received by the Lenders shall be required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender, any Lender receiving any portion of such payment shall be required to return to the Swing Line Lender such portion thereof previously distributed to it.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this subsection 2.03(f) shall have a direct right to repayment of such amounts from the Borrower subject to the procedures for repaying Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03(f) and the provisions of Section 8.05.

(g)         In the event the Commitments are terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Swing Line Commitment shall also be terminated automatically.  In the event the Borrower reduces the aggregate Commitments to less than the Swing Line Commitment, the Swing Line Commitment shall immediately be reduced to an amount equal to the aggregate Commitments.  In the event the Borrower reduces the aggregate Commitments to less than the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advances outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount by which the outstanding Swing Line Advances exceeds the Swing Line Commitment as so reduced plus accrued interest thereon.

(h)          Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 3.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Swing Line Advance was made, the Required Lenders shall have notified the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 would not be satisfied if such Swing Line Advance were then made (it being understood and agreed that, in the event the Swing Line Lender shall have received any such notice, it shall have no obligation to make any Swing Line Advance until and unless it shall be satisfied in its sole discretion that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).  Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Advances pursuant to this Section 2.03 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

Section 2.04           Letter of Credit Subfacility.

(a)          Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrower may at any time prior to the Termination Date request the issuance of a letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) on behalf of itself or its Subsidiaries, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering to the relevant Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Agent) a completed application and agreement for letters of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as such Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by 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 such Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance, amendment or extension.  Each Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit and no commercial letter of credit shall be issued hereunder.  Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the relevant Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the relevant Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Agent, or the Borrower, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 3.02 is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, such Issuing Lender or any of such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of no greater than twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, $50,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Commitments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Lender (each an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”) pursuant to which the expiration date of such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (B) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Lender to prevent any such renewal from occurring for one of the reasons set forth in this Section 2.04(a) by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such renewal; provided that the initial expiration date (or any subsequent expiration date) of each such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit is not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date.  Unless otherwise directed by the relevant Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any extension of an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized the relevant Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date set forth in clause (B) above; provided, however, that an Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (I) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (II) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the date that notice must be given to prevent an extension of such Letter of Credit from the Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied and directing such Issuing Lender not to permit such extension (it being understood and agreed that, in the event an Issuing Lender shall have received any such notice, it shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied in its sole discretion that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).  Each request by the Borrower for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with this Section 2.04(a) and with Section 3.02 after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit.  Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(b)          Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Advances that are Term SOFR Rate Advances in effect from time to time and (ii) to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily Letter of Credit Obligations and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on or before the third Business Day following the last day of each March, June, September and December following the date hereof.  The Borrower shall also pay to each Issuing Lender for such Issuing Lender’s sole account such Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary invoiced fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as such Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

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

(i)          In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the relevant Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof.  Provided that it shall have received such notice by 10:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date that an amount is paid by an Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lenders shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) such Issuing Lender by 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on such date by paying to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by such Issuing Lender, or if such notice has not been received by the Borrower by 10:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the Drawing Date, then the Borrower shall make such payment, with interest thereon from the Drawing Date at the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the Business Day immediately following the date on which it shall have received such notice.  In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse an Issuing Lender (through the Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit when due (plus, to the extent applicable, interest thereon as provided above), the Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Base Rate Advances be made by the Lenders to be disbursed, if such notice is received on or before 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on a Business Day, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on such Business Day and, otherwise, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the next Business Day, subject to, in each case, the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitments and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 other than any notice requirements.  Any notice given by the Agent or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)         Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make available to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to this Section 2.04(c)(ii)) each be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in that amount.  If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date.  The Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.04(c)(i) above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Agent or any Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.04(c)(ii).

(iii)       With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.04(c)(i), because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing.  Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Base Rate Advances.  Each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04(c).

(d)         Repayment of Participation Advances.

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

(ii)        If the Agent (or any Issuing Lender) is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender (or any payment made directly to any Issuing Lender) pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or any interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Agent (or the relevant Issuing Lender, as the case may be) forthwith return to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender (or return directly to such Issuing Lender, as the case may be) the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Agent (or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be) plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Agent (or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be), at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

(e)         Documentation.  The Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of each Issuing Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and each Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from the Borrower’s.  In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, no Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

(f)          Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.  In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, an Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

(g)         Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.  Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Advances or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.04(c), as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.04 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

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

(ii)        the failure of the Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Sections 2.01, 2.02 or 3.02 or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.04(c);

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

(iv)        any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Borrower or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary or any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

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

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

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

(viii)     any failure by an Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Borrower, unless such Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Borrower of such failure within three Business Days after such Issuing Lender shall have furnished the Borrower and the Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)        any Material Adverse Change;

(x)         any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

(xi)        the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower;

(xii)       the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii)      the fact that the Termination Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

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

In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h)         Liability for Acts and Omissions.  As between the Borrower and the Issuing Lenders, or the Issuing Lenders’ Affiliates, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lenders shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to the Borrower or other Person or property relating therefrom:  (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if an Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of an Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Lenders’ or their Affiliates’ rights or powers hereunder.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve an Issuing Lender from liability for such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence.  In no event shall an Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to the Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

(i)          Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements.  Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to the Agent and the Borrower a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Agent may request.

Section 2.05         Fees.

(a)         Commitment Fees.  Accruing from the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the daily difference between the amount of (i) the Commitments (for purposes of this computation, PNC’s Swing Line Advances shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under PNC’s Commitment and not the Commitment of any other Lender) and (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage.  All Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears quarterly on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January, commencing January 1, 2024 and on the Termination Date.

(b)         Agent’s Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent the administrative and other fees at the times and in the amounts agreed upon in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.06        Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided further that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Advances, Swing Line Advances, Reimbursement Obligations, Letter of Credit Borrowings and/or cash collateral with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, as the case may be, together with accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 8.04(c)) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Commitments as so reduced or terminated.  Any notice to reduce the Commitments under this Section 2.06 shall be irrevocable provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments in full delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or debt or equity issuances, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.07        Repayment of Advances.  The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances then outstanding.

Section 2.08        Interest on Revolving Credit Advances.

(a)          Scheduled Interest.  The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i)          Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January, commencing January 1, 2024, during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(ii)        Term SOFR Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Term SOFR Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance to the sum of (x) the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Term SOFR Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(b)         Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest on Revolving Credit Advances and Other Amounts”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest on Revolving Credit Advances and Other Amounts shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent and shall be paid in full on demand.

(c)         Conforming Changes Relating to Term SOFR Rate.  With respect to the Term SOFR Rate, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, the Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

Section 2.09        Interest Rate Determination.

(a)          The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.08(a)(i) or (ii).

(b)        If, with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the Term SOFR Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Term SOFR Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Term SOFR Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, Term SOFR Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c)         If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(d)         On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Term SOFR Rate Advances comprising any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(e)         Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(e) or, at the discretion of the Agent or upon the request of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (i) each Term SOFR Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Term SOFR Rate Advances shall be suspended.

(f)          If on any date on which a Term SOFR Rate would otherwise be determined, the Agent shall have determined that:  (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Term SOFR Rate, or (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the relevant market relating to the Term SOFR Rate,

(A)           the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Term SOFR Rate Advances,

(B)           with respect to Term SOFR Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(C)           the obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Term SOFR Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(g)         Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i)          Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii)         Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii)      Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(iv)        Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v)         Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on such rate or the Conversion to or continuation of Advances bearing interest based on such rate to be made, Converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Base Rate Advance or the Conversion to a Base Rate Advance. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(vi)        Definitions. As used in this Section:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section.

“Benchmark” means, initially, SOFR and the Term SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or the then-current Benchmark then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)            Daily Simple SOFR

(2)           the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (2) above plus the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement plus the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and provided further, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)           in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2)            in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Agent, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)           a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2)           a public statement or publication of information by an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(3)           a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Agent announcing that such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 2.09(g) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 2.09(g) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or, if no floor is specified, zero.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

Section 2.10        Continuation or Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed continuation or Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, (a) continue any Term SOFR Rate Advances as Term SOFR Rate Advances for a new Interest Period or (b) Convert all Revolving Credit Advances of one Type comprising the same Revolving Credit Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that (x) any continuation of Term SOFR Rate Advances or Conversion of Term SOFR Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Rate Advances, (y) any continuation of Term SOFR Rate Advances or any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Term SOFR Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no continuation or Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Revolving Credit Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice with respect to any continuation of Term SOFR Rate Advances or Conversion of Base Rate Advances shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such continuation or Conversion, (ii) the Revolving Credit Advances to be continued or Converted, and (iii) with respect to any continuation of Term SOFR Rate Advances or Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Term SOFR Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Advance.  Each notice of continuation or Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

Section 2.11        Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrower may, upon notice not later than 1:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Term SOFR Rate Advances, and not later than 1:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Revolving Credit Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing comprised of Term SOFR Rate Advances, shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 and in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances, shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or, in each case, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Term SOFR Rate Advance, the Borrower shall (i) be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c) and (ii) notify the Agent which Term SOFR Rate Advances are being prepaid and (z) any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.11 shall be irrevocable provided that a notice of prepayment in full delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or debt or equity issuances, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.12        Increased Costs.

(a)          Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any Issuing Lender;

(ii)         subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)        impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the relevant market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Advance), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that upon the occurrence of any Change in Law imposing a reserve percentage on any interest rate based on SOFR, the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may modify the calculation of each such SOFR-based interest rate to add (or otherwise account for) such reserve percentage.

(b)         Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)         Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d)         Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.13        Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful or impracticable, or any central bank or other Official Body asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Term SOFR Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Term SOFR Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Term SOFR Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Term SOFR Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Term SOFR Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Term SOFR Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.14        Payments and Computations.

(a)        The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Commitment Fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c), as provided in Section 2.21 or the payment to an Issuing Lender of its fronting fees) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.19, and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(b), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b)         The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender and each Issuing Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender or such Issuing Lender any amount so due.

(c)         All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and of Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees or fronting fees are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or component thereof under this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d)        Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees (including Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees), as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term SOFR Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e)         Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.15         Taxes.

(a)          Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “Law” includes FATCA.

(b)        Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Law.  If any Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)          Payment of Other Taxes. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Law, or at the option of the Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)         Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)         Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (e).

(f)         Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(g)         Status of Lenders.

(i)          Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)           any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)           any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii)          executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(iv)        to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)           any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)           if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)         Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)          Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.16       Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.17        Evidence of Debt.

(a)         Each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Credit Advance owing to such Lender from time to time and, with respect to the Swing Line Lender, each Swing Line Advance, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances.  The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Revolving Credit Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note payable to such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.

(b)         The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Revolving Credit Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances (including continuations and Conversions thereof) comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the date and amount of each Swing Line Advance, (iii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (v) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c)         Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

Section 2.18        Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the refinancing of the Existing Credit Agreement, working capital and capital expenditures.

Section 2.19        Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.

(a)         The Borrower may by notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitment be increased by an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 30 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $500,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied.

(b)         The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”).  Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment.  If the Lenders notify the Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent.

(c)         Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase.  If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lower amount as the Borrower and the Agent otherwise agree).

(d)         On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.19(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.19(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i)          (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel);

(ii)         an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower; and

(iii)        confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.19(d), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.  Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, in the case of such Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Ratable Share after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and, in the case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Ratable Share after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase)).  After the Agent’s receipt of such funds from each such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances owing to each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Ratable Share after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).

In addition, on each Increase Date, each Lender that is increasing its Commitment and each Assuming Lender that is joining this Agreement shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, from the Lenders party to this Agreement immediately prior to the Increase Date, an undivided interest and participation in any Letter of Credit and Swing Line Advance then outstanding, ratably, such that each Lender (including each Lender increasing its Commitment and each Assuming Lender that is joining this Agreement) holds a participation interest in each such Letter of Credit and Swing Line Advance in the amount of its then Ratable Share thereof.

Section 2.20        Extension of Termination Date.

(a)         Without any further action by or consent of the Lenders, the Termination Date shall be extended to November 8, 2028, if, on or before the date that is 364 days after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent (each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) the following:  (i) a copy of the securities certificate registered with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (the “Securities Certificate”) authorizing the Borrower’s incurring indebtedness hereunder with a maturity date of November 8, 2028, (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel) stating that (x) the Securities Certificate has been registered with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in accordance with Chapter 19 of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code and by virtue of such registration, authorizes the Borrower to incur indebtedness hereunder with a maturity date of November 8, 2028 and (y) no other authorizations are required by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission or by any other Official Body having jurisdiction over the Borrower and (z) copies of corporate resolutions certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Borrower, or such other evidence as may be satisfactory to the Agent, demonstrating that the Borrower’s incurrence of indebtedness hereunder with a maturity date of November 8, 2028 has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, together with an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel) to such effect.

(b)        (i) The Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty which is already qualified as to materiality or by reference to a Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of notice, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to any earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty which is qualified as to materiality or by reference to a Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, at any time after the Effective Date but prior to the then existing Termination Date (the “Existing Termination Date”), propose to extend the Existing Termination Date for an additional one year period measured from the Existing Termination Date; provided that in no event may the Borrower request more than two extensions of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.20(b); and provided further that the Termination Date, after giving effect to any such extension (such date, the “Proposed Extension Date”), shall not be later than five years after the effective date of such extension.  The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of receipt of such request.  Each Lender shall endeavor to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively (such determination in the sole discretion of such Lender), by notice to the Borrower and the Agent within thirty (30) days.  Subject to the execution by the Borrower, the Agent and such Lenders of a duly completed Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit F, the Termination Date applicable to the Commitment of each Lender so affirmatively notifying the Borrower and the Agent shall be extended to the Proposed Extension Date; provided that no Termination Date of any Lender shall be extended unless the Required Lenders at the time any such extension is requested shall have elected so to extend their Commitments.

(ii)          Any Lender which does not give such notice to the Borrower and the Agent shall be deemed to have elected not to extend its Commitment as requested (each a “Non-Extending Lender”), and the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on its Commitment Termination Date determined without giving effect to such requested extension.  The Borrower may, in accordance with Section 2.22(b), designate another bank or another financial institution (which may be, but need not be, an extending Lender) to replace a Non-Extending Lender.  On the date of termination of any Lender’s Commitment as contemplated by this paragraph and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, the respective participations of the other Lenders in all outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances shall be redetermined on the basis of their respective Commitments after giving effect to such termination, and the participation therein of the Lender whose Commitment is terminated shall terminate; provided that the Borrower shall, if and to the extent necessary to permit such redetermination of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances within the limits of the Commitments which are not terminated, prepay on such date all or a portion of the outstanding Advances or, to the extent that such redetermination cannot be effected within the limits of the Commitments even after all outstanding Advances have been prepaid, then the Borrower shall cash collateralize the Letters of Credit to the extent of such excess on terms acceptable to the Agent, and such redetermination and termination of participations in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances shall be conditioned upon their having done so.

(iii)        In connection with any extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.20(b), the Borrower shall provide to the Agent (who shall promptly provide copies thereof to the Lenders extending their Commitments pursuant to this Section) such evidence of authority as the Agent shall request, including, if requested by the Agent (each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) the following:  (a) a copy of the securities certificate registered with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (the “Securities Certificate Extension”) authorizing the Borrower’s incurring indebtedness hereunder with a maturity date of the Proposed Extension Date, (b) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel) stating that (i) the Securities Certificate Extension has been registered with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in accordance with Chapter 19 of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code and by virtue of such registration, authorizes the Borrower to incur indebtedness hereunder with a maturity date of the Proposed Extension Date and (ii) no other authorizations are required by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission or by any other Official Body having jurisdiction over the Borrower and (c) copies of corporate resolutions certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Borrower, or such other evidence as may be satisfactory to the Agent, demonstrating that the Borrower’s incurrence of indebtedness hereunder with a maturity date of the Proposed Extension Date has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, together with an opinion of counsel to the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel) to such effect.

Section 2.21        Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including Sections 2.04(b) and 2.05(a)), if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)         (i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii)         No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable pursuant to Section 2.04(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.21(c) but then, only to the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided such cash collateral.

(iii)         With respect to any fees payable pursuant to Section 2.04(b) not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (b) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(b)         All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Advances shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.  If the reallocation described above in this clause cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s and the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure as follows:

(i)           to the extent that all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of Swing Line Advances cannot be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(b), then the Borrower shall (A) within 15 days following notice from the Agent until such Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, establish and, thereafter, maintain a special collateral account (the “Swing Line Collateral Account”) with the Agent, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, (B) grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender and the other Lenders, solely as security for repayment of the unallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of outstanding Swing Line Advances, a security interest in and to the Swing Line Collateral Account and any funds that may thereafter be deposited therein and (C) maintain in the Swing Line Collateral Account an amount equal to the unallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of outstanding Swing Line Advances; and

(ii)          to the extent that all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participations in outstanding Letters of Credit cannot be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(b), then the Borrower (A) shall, within 15 days following notice from the Agent until such Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, establish and, thereafter, maintain a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) with the Agent in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, (B) grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders, as security for the unallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of all Letter of Credit Obligations, a security interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that may be deposited therein and (C) shall maintain in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account an amount equal to the unallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of all Letter of Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any Letters of Credit have then been drawn;

(c)         So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to, but in its sole discretion may from time to time elect to, fund any Swing Line Advance, (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to, but in its sole discretion may from time to time elect to, issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless in each case it is satisfied in its sole discretion that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(b) and (iii) participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Advance or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(b) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein);

(d)         Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, pro rata to cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s and the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with clause (b) above; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (ii) cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with clause (b) above; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares without giving effect to Section 2.21(b).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

(e)          In the event that the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Advances and the Letter of Credit participations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Ratable Share and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Advances of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with its Ratable Share (without giving effect to Section 2.21(b)).

Section 2.22        Mitigation, Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)         Designation of a Different Lending Office.  In addition to the provisions in Section 2.13, if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)        Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.22(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder or becomes a Non- Consenting Lender or a Non-Extending Lender, or any Lender gives a notice under Section 2.13, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)           the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07;

(ii)         such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.04(c)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii)        in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv)           such assignment does not conflict with Law;

(v)           in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non- Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; and

(vi)           in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Extending Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the extension of the Termination Date to the Proposed Extension Date.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation to cease to apply.

Section 7.01           Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 7.02           Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  In the event that PNC or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Borrower, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or on behalf of PNC in its capacity as the Agent for the benefit of any Lender under this Agreement or any Note (other than PNC or an Affiliate of PNC) and which is applied in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 7.03           Exculpatory Provisions.  The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties shall be administrative in detail.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a)           shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)          shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c)           shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 6.01 and 8.01) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower in writing, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

Section 7.04           Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05          Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article 7 shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Affiliates of the Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 7.06           Resignation of Agent.  The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) may appoint a successor agent, which successor may be replaced by the Required Lenders; provided that such replacement is, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Borrower within sixty (60) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Agent; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of collateral security, if any, held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 7.06.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring (or retired) Agent), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 7 and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
