The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
- 78 -
person or the Borrowers or any of either Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 10.1.1 [Increase of Commitment, Etc.], 10.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 10.1.3 [Release of Guarantor]). Subject to Section 10.8.5 [Limitations upon Participant Rights Successors and Assigns Generally], the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] and 4.7 [Increased Costs; Indemnity] to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.2.3 [Setoff] as though it were a Lender;provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as though it were a Lender.
| 10.8.5 | | Limitations upon Participant Rights Successors and Assigns Generally. |
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.7 [Increased Costs], 4.8 [Taxes] or 10.3 [ Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.8 [Taxes] unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.8.5 [Status of Lenders] as though it were a Lender.
| 10.8.6 | | Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. |
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Lenders and their Affiliates may retain confidential materials after the Obligations have been repaid or terminated and no suit, action or proceeding relating thereto exists. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
| 10.9.2 | | Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. |
Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrowers or one or more of their Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 10.9.1 [General].

Each of the Borrowers hereby waives any defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral or the like.
| 10.16 | | Relative Priority of Security Interests; Limitation of Certain Liabilities. |
To the extent any portion of the Obligations of a Borrower may be determined by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be in the nature of the obligations of a surety (the “Suretyship Portion”), any security interests in the assets of such Borrower securing the Suretyship Portion shall be subordinate to the security interests in the assets securing the remaining portion of the Obligations. If the Suretyship Portion would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable on account of its amount, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the Borrower or any other Persons, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding.

For purposes of determining the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate:
(a) The Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be determined on the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio (Pricing) computed on such date pursuant to a Compliance Certificate to be delivered on the Closing Date.
(b) The Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio (Pricing) as of such quarter end. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate or the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate computed as of a quarter end shall be effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 7.3.3 [Compliance Certificate].
(c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of ATI or for any other reason, ATI or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio (Pricing) as calculated by ATI as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio (Pricing) would have resulted in higher pricing for such period,
SCHEDULE 1.1(A) — 1
the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.10 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] or 3.3 [Interest After Default] or 8 [Default]. The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Schedule 5.1.5
To Credit Agreement
Litigation
For purposes of this Schedule, “the Company” refers to ATI and its Subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. The following matters are disclosed for informational purposes without regard to the materiality threshold set forth in Section 5.1.5 of the Credit Agreement:
In April 2005, an unfavorable judgment of $5.3 million, including compensatory damages and prejudgment interest, was issued against TDY Industries, Inc. in a case filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama relating to a disputed tantalum graded powder raw material supply arrangement. The supplier alleged that ATI Metalworking Products had failed to purchase certain tantalum graded powder under a supply contract, and TDY defended on the basis that the arrangement was a consignment with no purchase obligation. The Company’s appeal of the adverse decision was denied in the third quarter 2006 and in October 2006, the Company paid the $5.6 million judgment, including interest.
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its currently and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, taxes, environmental and health and safety, and stockholder matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.
See also Schedule 5.1.13 “Environmental”, which is incorporated by reference into this Schedule 5.1.5, for additional information.
Schedule 5.1.12
To Credit Agreement
ERISA Matters
Certain employees of Oregon Metallurgical Corporation participate in the Western Independent Shops Pension Trust. The Western Independent Shops Pension Trust is a multi-employer pension plan which is currently underfunded. Were Oregon Metallurgical Corporation to withdrawal from this pension plan during the 10/1/2006 — 9/30/2007 plan year, the withdrawal liability would be approximately $10.7 million.
Schedule 5.1.13
To Credit Agreement
Environmental
For purposes of this Schedule, “the Company” refers to ATI and its Subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. The following matters are disclosed for informational purposes without regard to the materiality threshold set forth in Section 5.1.13 of the Credit Agreement:
The Company is subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants, and disposal of wastes, and which may require that they investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or non-compliance with environmental permits required at our facilities. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of our current and former sites as well as third party sites.
Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding the amount already accrued for any of the sites with which the Company is currently associated (either individually or in the aggregate) will be an amount that would be material to a decision to buy or sell ATI’s securities.
At March 31, 2007, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $24 million, of which approximately $13 million were included in other current liabilities. The reserve includes estimated probable future costs of $10 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $8 million for formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; $4 million for owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been discontinued; and $2 million for sites utilized by the Company in its ongoing operations. The Company continues to evaluate whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from third parties.
The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years and that remediation of all sites with which it has been identified will be completed within thirty years.
With respect to proceedings brought under the federal Superfund laws, or similar state statutes, the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at approximately 28 of such sites, excluding those at which such entity believes it has no future liability. The involvement is limited or de minimis at approximately 21 of these sites, and the potential loss exposure with respect to any of the remaining seven individual sites is not considered to be material.
The Company is a party to various cost-sharing arrangements with other PRPs at the sites. The terms of the cost-sharing arrangements are subject to non-disclosure agreements as confidential information. Nevertheless, the cost-sharing arrangements generally require all PRPs
to post financial assurance of the performance of the obligations or to pre-pay into an escrow or trust account their share of anticipated site-related costs. In addition, the Federal government, through various agencies, is a party to several such arrangements.
In June 2003, the San Diego Unified Port District (“Port District”) commenced an action in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against TDY Industries, Inc. (TDY) asserting federal, state and common law claims related to alleged environmental contamination on property located in San Diego and formerly leased by TDY. The complaint sought unspecified damages and a declaratory judgment as to TDY’s liability for contamination on the property. TDY asserted a counterclaim as well as claims against neighboring property owners and former and current operators related to the environmental condition of the San Diego facility. The San Diego International Airport (“Airport”), the current operator of the San Diego Property, asserted a cross claim against TDY alleging federal, state and common law claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination and seeking losses relating to the Airport’s alleged inability to redevelop the property. In December 2006, General Dynamics Corporation, a former neighboring property operator, commenced a separate but related action against TDY. General Dynamics alleged federal claims relating to alleged environmental contamination emanating from the San Diego property that has allegedly impacted General Dynamic’s property. A settlement of the litigation, the related cross claim of the San Diego International Airport and the related action commenced in December 2006 by General Dynamics Corporation against TDY was finalized in April 2007.
Separately, the Port District requested that the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) evaluate whether the San Diego property is regulated as a hazardous waste transportation, storage, or disposal facility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and similar state laws. The Company has submitted a work plan to the DTSC for closure of four solid waste management units at the facility, in connection with other work that is being done at the Site. The DTSC commented on the work plan and TDY is addressing the comments.
TDY has conducted an environmental assessment of the San Diego facility pursuant to an October 2004 Order, as revised and amended, from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (“Regional Board”). TDY will perform remediation activities pursuant to the Order. At March 31, 2007, the Company had adequate reserves for these matters. However, the cost of the remediation cannot be predicted with certainty and could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
TDY and another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, among others, have been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as PRPs at the Li Tungsten Superfund Site in Glen Cove, New York. The Company believes that most of the contamination at the site resulted from work done while the U.S. Government either owned or controlled operations at the site, or from processes done for various governmental agencies, and that the U.S. Government is liable for a substantial portion of the remediation costs at the site. In November 2000, TDY filed a cost recovery and contribution action against the U.S. Government. In March 2003, the Court ordered the parties to the action to fund a portion of the remediation costs at the site. In July 2004, TDY, the U.S. Government and the EPA entered into
an Interim Agreement, under which the U.S. Government funded $20.9 million and TDY funded $1 million of the remediation costs at the site. In November 2005, TDY sued other PRPs at the site seeking contribution to the response costs that have been and will continue to be incurred at the site. TDY, the other PRPs and the U.S. Government reached a resolution of this matter and a consent judgment has been lodged with the court. Under the consent judgment, TDY will complete the remediation of the remaining portions of the site and will receive contribution from other PRPs. Based on information presently available, the Company believes its reserves on this matter are adequate. However, the cost of the remediation cannot be predicted with certainty and could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Since 1990, TDY has been operating under a Corrective Action Order from the EPA for a facility that TDY owns and formerly operated in Hartville, Ohio. TDY has prepared a plan to carry out additional remediation activities, which has been approved by the EPA. The plan was modified slightly in 2006 and implementation commenced in 2007. The Company believes its reserves for the costs it expects to incur for the remediation activities are adequate.
In a letter dated May 20, 2004, the EPA informed a subsidiary of the Company that it alleges that the company and forty other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) are not in compliance with the Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) issued to the company and the PRPs for the South El Monte Operable Unit of the San Gabriel Valley (California) Superfund Site, a multi-part area-wide groundwater cleanup. The EPA indicated that it may take action to enforce the UAO and collect penalties, as well as reimbursement of the EPA’s costs associated with the site. The PRPs are in mediation with the EPA to resolve their obligations under the UAO on both technical and legal grounds, and enforcement of the UAO has been stayed.
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of their respective currently and formerly owned businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, taxes, environmental and health and safety, and stockholder matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

UNCONDITIONAL LIABILITY. The Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be reduced, limited, waived, or released in any way by reason of: (i) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to obtain, retain, preserve, perfect or enforce any rights against any Person (including without limitation, any Obligor) or in any property securing any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) the invalidity or irregularity of any such rights that the Agent and the Lenders may attempt to obtain; (iii) any delay in enforcing or any failure to enforce such rights, even if such rights are thereby lost; (iv) any delay in making demand on any Obligor for payment or performance of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; or (v) from time to time, the payment in full and subsequent incurring of any Debtor Liabilities.
RIGHT OF SET-OFF. If any liability of the Guarantor hereunder is not paid to the Agent when due, the Agent and the Lenders may forthwith, at any time and from time to time without notice to the Guarantor, any right to such notice being hereby expressly waived by the Guarantor: set-off, appropriate and apply against the liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder (i) any and all deposits, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held by the Agent or any Lender, not to exceed the amount then due, as the Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand for payment and (ii) any and all moneys owed by the Agent or any Lender to the Guarantor in any capacity, whether or not then due, and whether provisionally or finally credited upon the Agent’s and the Lenders’ books and records.
WAIVER. The Guarantor hereby waives all notice with respect to the present existence or future incurrence of any Debtor Liabilities including, but not limited to, the amount, terms and conditions thereof. The Guarantor hereby consents to the taking of, or failure to take, from time to time, any action of any nature whatsoever permitted by Law with respect to the Debtor Liabilities and with respect to any rights against any Person or Persons (including, without limitation, any Obligor), or in any property including, without limitation, any renewals, extensions, modifications, postponements, compromises, indulgences, waivers, surrenders, exchanges and releases, and the Guarantor will remain fully liable hereunder notwithstanding any or all of the foregoing. The granting of an express written release of the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or any other Obligor’s liability shall be effective only with respect to the liability hereunder of the Guarantor or such Obligor who is specifically so expressly released but shall in no way affect the liability hereunder of the Guarantor or any other Obligor not so expressly released. The dissolution of the Guarantor or any other Obligor shall in no way affect the liability hereunder or that of any other Obligor. The Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (i) notices of acceptance hereof; (ii) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of default in connection with the Debtor Liabilities, dishonor or notice of dishonor; (iii) any right of indemnification; and (iv) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense whatsoever to the liability of the Debtors, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or in discharge of, the Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder.
-3-
No payment by the Guarantor shall entitle any Obligor, by subrogation, contribution, indemnification or otherwise, to succeed to any of the rights of the Agent and the Lenders, including rights to any payment made on account of the Debtor Liabilities, regardless of the source of such payment, until all of the Debtors’ obligations to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are satisfied in full and the Commitments are terminated. The Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security now or hereafter held by the Agent and the Lenders or any failure or refusal by the Agent and the Lenders to perfect an interest in any collateral security.
BANKRUPTCY OF ANY DEBTOR. Neither the Guarantor’s obligations to make payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement hereof shall be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any Debtor’s bankruptcy or by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of (i) the liability of any Debtor, any Person assuming the obligations of such Debtor under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or such Debtor’s estate in bankruptcy or (ii) any remedy for the enforcement of the Debtor Liabilities, either of which result from the operation of any present or further provision of any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause or from the decision of any court. The Guarantor agrees that to the extent that any Debtor or any other Obligor makes a payment or payments to the Agent or any Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, the Debtor Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.
PAYMENT OF COSTS. In addition to all other liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantor also agrees to pay to the Agent on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) which may be incurred in the enforcement or collection of the liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder.
PRIMARY LIABILITY OF THE GUARANTOR. The Guarantor agrees that this Agreement may be enforced by the Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any collateral now or hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or otherwise, and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other Obligor or to require the Agent and the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Agent and the Lenders from suing on the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any of them, or foreclosing their Lien, if any, on any collateral hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or from exercising any other rights available under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security if neither the Debtors nor the Guarantor timely satisfy the Debtor Liabilities thereunder, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any of the obligations of the Guarantor thereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional. Neither the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be
-4-
impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Debtors or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Debtor. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by each Debtor is stayed upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of such Debtor, amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, interest at the rates set forth in the Credit Agreement occurring after the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency, shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent. The Guarantor acknowledges that the term “Debtor Liabilities” as used herein includes any payments made by the Debtors to the Agent or the Lenders and subsequently recovered by the Debtors or a trustee for any Debtor pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
ACCELERATION OF THE GUARANTOR’S LIABILITIES. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, all of the Debtor Liabilities, at the Agent’s and the Lenders’ option, shall be deemed to be forthwith due and payable for the purposes of this Agreement and for determining the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, whether or not the Agent and the Lenders have any such rights against any other Obligor, and whether or not the Agent and the Lenders elect to exercise any rights or remedies against any other Person or property including, without limitation, any other Obligor: (i) the failure of the Guarantor to perform any covenant or obligation hereunder; (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement which has not been cured; or (iii) any information or signature heretofore or hereafter furnished to the Agent or any Lender by the Guarantor, or delivered to the Agent or any Lender by an Obligor in connection with any of the Debtor Liabilities, is materially false or incorrect at the time when made.
RIGHTS OF THE GUARANTOR. All rights and remedies of the Guarantor against the Debtors or any property of the Debtors or any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities, whether arising by promissory note, subrogation, security agreement, mortgage or otherwise, shall in all respects be and remain subordinate and junior in right of payment and priority to the prior and indefeasible payment in full to the Agent and the Lenders of all Debtor Liabilities and to the priority of the Agent and the Lenders in any property of the Debtors and any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities. Any amount which may have been paid to the Guarantor on account of any Indebtedness of the Debtors to the Guarantor, or on account of any subrogation or other rights of the Guarantor against the Debtors, when all of the Debtor Liabilities shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied upon the Debtor Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured.
NOTICE TO THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY THE GUARANTOR. Any notice to the Agent or the Lenders by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be sent by first-class or first-class express mail, private overnight or next business day courier or by telex or telecopy with confirmation in writing mailed first class, in all cases with charges prepaid, and any such properly given notice will be effective when received, to:

“Valuable Transfers” shall mean (a) all loans, advances, other credit accommodations, or capital contributions made to such Guarantor with proceeds of the Loans, (b) the amount of Letters of Credit outstanding with respect to Letters of Credit issued to support the obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor, (c) all debt securities or other obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor acquired from such Guarantor or retired, redeemed, purchased or acquired by such Guarantor with proceeds of any Loans or any Letters of Credit issued to support the obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor, (d) all equity securities of such Guarantor acquired from such Guarantor with the proceeds of any Loans or of any drawings on Letters of Credit issued to support the obligations of such Guarantor, (e) the fair market value of all property acquired with proceeds of the Loans or of any drawings on Letters of Credit issued to support the obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor and transferred to such Guarantor, (f) the interest on and the fees in respect of the Loans, the proceeds of which are used to make such a Valuable Transfer, and (g) the value of any quantifiable economic benefits not included in clauses (a) through (f) above, but includable in accordance with applicable federal and state Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, accruing to such Guarantor as a result of the Loans or the Letters of Credit outstanding.
The Guarantors agree that the Debtor Liabilities may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum liability of the Guarantors hereunder without impairing this Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder. No
-3-
payment or payments made by any Debtor, the Guarantors or any other Person or received or collected by the Agent or any Lender from any Debtor, the Guarantors or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Debtor Liabilities shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantors under this Agreement and the Guarantors shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made to the Agent or any Lender by the Guarantors or payments received or collected by the Agent or any Lender from the Guarantors), remain liable for the Debtor Liabilities up to the maximum liability amount of the Guarantors set forth in this paragraph until the Debtor Liabilities are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, each Lender’s obligation to make Loans is terminated according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, all Letters of Credit have either expired or have been cancelled and all Hedging Contracts with respect to any Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedge have either expired or have been terminated; provided, however, that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Guarantors’ liability under this paragraph exceed the maximum amount that, after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of the Guarantors from the Debtors and other affiliates of the Debtors, would not render the Agent’s and the Lenders’ right to payment hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law; and further provided that if a greater amount of the Debtor Liabilities than the maximum liability set forth in this paragraph could be repaid by the Guarantors as a result of an increase in any Guarantor’s Adjusted Net Worth subsequent to the date of this Agreement, without rendering the Agent’s and the Lenders’ right to payment hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law, then the amount of such Guarantor’s maximum liability calculated in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be calculated based upon such Guarantor’s Adjusted Net Worth on such later date, rather than the date of execution of this Agreement.
UNCONDITIONAL LIABILITY. The Guarantors’ liability hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be reduced, limited, waived, or released in any way by reason of: (i) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to obtain, retain, preserve, perfect or enforce any rights against any Person (including without limitation, any Obligor) or in any property securing any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) the invalidity or irregularity of any such rights that the Agent and the Lenders may attempt to obtain; (iii) any delay in enforcing or any failure to enforce such rights, even if such rights are thereby lost; (iv) any delay in making demand on any Obligor for payment or performance of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; or (v) from time to time, the payment in full and subsequent incurring of any Debtor Liabilities.
RIGHT OF SET-OFF. If any liability of the Guarantors hereunder is not paid to the Agent when due, the Agent and the Lenders may forthwith, at any time and from time to time without notice to the Guarantors, any right to such notice being hereby expressly waived by the Guarantors: set-off, appropriate and apply against the liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder (i) any and all deposits, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held by the Agent or any Lender, not to exceed the amount then due, as the Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand for payment and (ii) any and all moneys owed by the Agent or any Lender to the Guarantors in any capacity, whether or not then due, and whether provisionally or finally credited upon the Agent’s and the Lenders’ books and records.
-4-
WAIVER. The Guarantors hereby waive all notice with respect to the present existence or future incurrence of any Debtor Liabilities including, but not limited to, the amount, terms and conditions thereof. The Guarantors hereby consent to the taking of, or failure to take, from time to time, any action of any nature whatsoever permitted by Law with respect to the Debtor Liabilities and with respect to any rights against any Person or Persons (including, without limitation, any Obligor), or in any property including, without limitation, any renewals, extensions, modifications, postponements, compromises, indulgences, waivers, surrenders, exchanges and releases, and the Guarantors will remain fully liable hereunder notwithstanding any or all of the foregoing. The granting of an express written release of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder or any other Obligor’s liability shall be effective only with respect to the liability hereunder of such Guarantor or Obligor who is specifically so expressly released but shall in no way affect the liability hereunder of any other Guarantor or any Obligor not so expressly released. The dissolution of any Guarantor or any other Obligor shall in no way affect the liability hereunder or that of any other Obligor. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (i) notices of acceptance hereof; (ii) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of default in connection with the Debtor Liabilities, dishonor or notice of dishonor; (iii) any right of indemnification; and (iv) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense whatsoever to the liability of the Debtors, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or in discharge of, such Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder.
No payment by any Guarantor shall entitle any Obligor, by subrogation, contribution, indemnification or otherwise, to succeed to any of the rights of the Agent and the Lenders, including rights to any payment made on account of the Debtor Liabilities, regardless of the source of such payment, until all of the Debtors’ obligations to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are satisfied in full and the Commitments are terminated. The Guarantors hereby waive any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security now or hereafter held by the Agent and the Lenders or any failure or refusal by the Agent and the Lenders to perfect an interest in any collateral security.
BANKRUPTCY OF ANY DEBTOR. Neither the Guarantors’ obligations to make payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement hereof shall be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any Debtor’s bankruptcy or by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of (i) the liability of any Debtor, any Person assuming the obligations of such Debtor under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or such Debtor’s estate in bankruptcy or (ii) any remedy for the enforcement of the Debtor Liabilities, either of which result from the operation of any present or further provision of any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause or from the decision of any court. The Guarantors agree that to the extent that any Debtor or any other Obligor makes a payment or payments to the Agent or any Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, the Debtor Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.
-5-
PAYMENT OF COSTS. In addition to all other liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder, the Guarantors also agree to pay to the Agent on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) which may be incurred in the enforcement or collection of the liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder.
PRIMARY LIABILITY OF THE GUARANTORS. The Guarantors agree that this Agreement may be enforced by the Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any collateral now or hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or otherwise, and the Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other Obligor or to require the Agent and the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Agent and the Lenders from suing on the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any of them, or foreclosing their Lien, if any, on any collateral hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or from exercising any other rights available under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security if neither the Debtors nor the Guarantors timely satisfy the Debtor Liabilities thereunder, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any of the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantors that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional. Neither the obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Debtors or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Debtor. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by each Debtor is stayed upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of such Debtor, amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, interest at the rates set forth in the Credit Agreement occurring after the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency, shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent. The Guarantors acknowledge that the term “Debtor Liabilities” as used herein includes any payments made by the Debtors to the Agent or the Lenders and subsequently recovered by the Debtors or a trustee for any Debtor pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
ACCELERATION OF THE GUARANTORS’ LIABILITIES. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, all of the Debtor Liabilities, at the Agent’s and the Lenders’ option, shall be deemed to be forthwith due and payable for the purposes of this Agreement and for determining the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, whether or not the Agent and the Lenders have any such rights against any other Obligor, and whether or not the Agent and the Lenders elect to exercise any rights or remedies against any other Person or property including, without limitation, any other Obligor: (i) the failure of any Guarantor to perform any covenant or obligation hereunder; (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement which has not been cured; or (iii) any information or signature heretofore or hereafter furnished to the Agent or any Lender by any Guarantor, or delivered to the Agent or any Lender by an Obligor in connection with any of the Debtor Liabilities, is materially false or incorrect at the time when made.
-6-
RIGHTS OF THE GUARANTORS. All rights and remedies of the Guarantors against the Debtors or any property of the Debtors or any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities, whether arising by promissory note, subrogation, security agreement, mortgage or otherwise, shall in all respects be and remain subordinate and junior in right of payment and priority to the prior and indefeasible payment in full to the Agent and the Lenders of all Debtor Liabilities and to the priority of the Agent and the Lenders in any property of the Debtors and any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities. Any amount which may have been paid to the Guarantors on account of any Indebtedness of the Debtors to the Guarantors, or on account of any subrogation or other rights of the Guarantors against the Debtors, when all of the Debtor Liabilities shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied upon the Debtor Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured.
NOTICE TO THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY THE GUARANTORS. Any notice to the Agent or the Lenders by the Guarantors pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be sent by first-class or first-class express mail, private overnight or next business day courier or by telex or telecopy with confirmation in writing mailed first class, in all cases with charges prepaid, and any such properly given notice will be effective when received, to:
PNC Bank, National Association

COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Any party so executing this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.

If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

-7-
Pennsylvania without regard to the conflicts of laws thereof, and the parties hereto agree to the jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania with respect to any suit arising in connection herewith.

THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ALL BENEFIT AND ADVANTAGE OF ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND THEY WILL NOT AT ANY TIME INSIST UPON, OR PLEAD OR IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER CLAIM OR TAKE THE BENEFIT OR ADVANTAGE OF A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

EXHIBIT 1.1(I)
FORM OF
INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
THIS INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated the day of July, 2007 and is made by and among the entities listed on the signature page hereto (or subsequently joining this Agreement) (each being individually referred to herein as a “Company” and collectively as the “Companies”).
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, each capitalized term used herein shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning specified in the Credit Agreement, dated the day of July, 2007 (as it may be hereafter amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among ATI Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ATI Funding”), TDY Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TDYH”) (ATI Funding and TDYH are each, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) party thereto, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Lenders intend to make Loans to the Borrowers; and
WHEREAS, the Companies are or may become indebted to each other (the Indebtedness of each of the Companies to any other Company, now existing or hereafter incurred (whether created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise), and interest and premiums, if any, thereon and other amounts payable in respect thereof are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Intercompany Indebtedness”); and
WHEREAS, the obligations of the Lenders to maintain the Commitments and make Loans to the Borrowers from time to time are subject to the condition, among others, that the Companies subordinate the Intercompany Indebtedness to the Indebtedness and all other Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Company to the Agent or the Lenders or any Affiliate of any Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Senior Debt”) in the manner set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. Intercompany Indebtedness Subordinated to Senior Debt. The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated by reference. All Intercompany Indebtedness shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions contained herein.
2. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc. Upon any distribution of assets of any Company in the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or
any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any such Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any such Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of assets and liabilities of any such Company (a Company distributing assets as set forth herein being referred to in such capacity as a “Distributing Company”), then and in any such event, the Agent shall be entitled to receive, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear, indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due or to become due (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan Documents or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) on or in respect of any and all Senior Debt before the holder of any Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company is entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on such Intercompany Indebtedness, and to that end, the Agent shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Company which is owed Intercompany Indebtedness by a Distributing Company shall have received any payment or distribution of assets from the Distributing Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by such Company, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of noncash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
3. No Commencement of Any Proceeding. Each Company agrees that, so long as the Senior Debt shall remain unpaid, it will not commence, or join with any creditor other than the Lenders and the Agent in commencing any proceeding referred to in the first paragraph of Section 2 against any other Company which owes it any Intercompany Indebtedness.
4. Prior Payment of Senior Debt Upon Acceleration of Intercompany Indebtedness. If any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by any Company becomes or is declared due and payable before its stated maturity, then and in such event the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due and to become due on or in respect of the Senior Debt (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan Documents or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) before the holder of any such Intercompany Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment thereon.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company shall make any payment of Intercompany Indebtedness prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, such payment
-2-
shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be applicable.
5. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or such an Event of Default or Potential Default would result from or exist after giving effect to a payment with respect to any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, unless the Required Lenders shall have consented to or waived the same, so long as any of the Senior Debt shall remain outstanding, no payment shall be made by any Company owing such Intercompany Indebtedness on account of principal or interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company shall make any payment of the Intercompany Indebtedness to another Company prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be applicable.
6. Payment Permitted if No Default. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any of the Companies, at any time except during the pendency of any of the conditions described in Sections 2, 4 and 5, from making payments at any time of principal of or interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, or the retention thereof by any of the Companies of any money deposited with them for the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness.
7. Rights of Subrogation. Each Company agrees that no payment or distribution to the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Senior Debt shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated.
8. Instruments Evidencing Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Company shall cause each instrument which now or hereafter evidences all or a portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness to be conspicuously marked as follows:
“This instrument is subject to the terms of an Intercompany Subordination Agreement dated July , 2007, in favor of PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders referred to therein, which Intercompany Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding any contrary statement contained in the within instrument, no payment on account of the principal thereof or interest thereon shall become due or payable except in accordance with the express terms of said Intercompany Subordination Agreement.”
-3-
Each Company will further mark its books of account in such a manner as shall be effective to give proper notice to the effect of this Agreement.
9. Agreement Solely to Define Relative Rights. The purpose of this Agreement is solely to define the relative rights of the Companies, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between any of the Companies and their creditors other than the Agent and the Lenders, the obligation of the Companies to each other to pay the principal of and interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights among the Companies and their creditors other than the Agent and the Lenders, nor shall anything herein prevent any of the Companies from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable Law upon default under any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, subject to the rights, if any, under this Agreement of the Agent and the Lenders to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness.
10. No Implied Waivers of Subordination. No right of the Agent or any Lender to enforce subordination, as herein provided, shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Company or by any act or failure to act by the Agent or any Lender, or by any non-compliance by any Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, regardless of any knowledge thereof the Agent or any Lender may have or be otherwise charged with. Each Company by its acceptance hereof shall agree that, so long as there is Senior Debt outstanding or Commitments in effect under the Credit Agreement, such Company shall not agree to sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or to compromise, the obligations of the other Companies with respect to their Intercompany Indebtedness, other than by means of payment of such Intercompany Indebtedness according to its terms, without the prior written consent of the Agent.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the Agent or any of the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Companies except the Borrowers to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, without incurring responsibility to the Companies and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the Companies to the Agent and the Lenders, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or extend the time of payment, renew or alter the Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement the Senior Debt or the Loan Documents; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any of the Companies and any other Person.
11. Additional Subsidiaries. The Companies covenant and agree that they shall cause any Subsidiaries required to join this Agreement pursuant to or otherwise under the Credit Agreement, to execute a Joinder in the form ofExhibit 1.1(G)(1) to the Credit Agreement, whereby such Subsidiary joins this Agreement and subordinates all Indebtedness owed to any such Subsidiary by any of the Companies or other Subsidiaries hereafter created or acquired to the Senior Debt.
-4-
12. Continuing Force and Effect. This Agreement shall continue in force for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains unpaid and any Commitments under the Credit Agreement remain outstanding, it being contemplated that this Agreement be of a continuing nature.
13. Modification, Amendments or Waivers. Any and all agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders hereunder, and any and all waivers or consents to Events of Default or other departures from the due performance of the Companies hereunder, shall be made only by written agreement, waiver or consent signed by the Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent being effective to bind all the Lenders.
14. Expenses. The Companies unconditionally and jointly and severally agree upon demand to pay to the Agent and the Lenders the amount of any and all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements for which reimbursement is customarily obtained, including fees and expenses of counsel, which the Agent or any of the Lenders may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent or the Lenders hereunder, or (c) the failure by the Companies to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be a contract under the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to its principles of conflict of Laws.
17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, as permitted in the Credit Agreement, and the obligations of the Companies shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns. The duties and obligations of the Companies may not be delegated or transferred by the Companies without the written consent of the Required Lenders and any such delegation or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Except to the extent otherwise required by the context of this Agreement, the word “Lenders” when used herein shall include, without limitation, any holder of a Note or an assignment of rights therein originally issued to a Lender under the Credit Agreement, and each such holder of a Note or assignment shall have the benefits of this Agreement to the same extent as if such holder had originally been a Lender under the Credit Agreement.
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and
-5-
