NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree and covenant as follows:
SECTION 1.Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement (and, to the extent provided inExhibit B, any exhibits and schedules thereto) shall be amended and restated on the Second Restatement Effective Date such that, on the Second Restatement Effective Date, the terms set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached hereto asExhibit A (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) shall replace the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement.
SECTION 2.Extended Revolving Loan Commitments.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Extended Revolving Loan Lender agrees to make Extended Revolving Loan Commitments to the Borrowers on the Second Restatement Effective Date in an amount equal to its Extended Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined below) and (ii) each Extended Revolving Loan Lender agrees to convert on the Second Restatement Effective Date the aggregate amount of its Original Revolving Loans into Extended Revolving Loans to the extent that such Original Revolving Loans are not converted into New Term Loans in accordance with Section 3 below. The “Extended Revolving Loan Commitment” of any Extended Revolving Loan Lender shall be the amount of its Original Revolving Credit Commitment (after giving effect to any conversion of such Extended Revolving Loan Lender’s Original Revolving Loans into New Term Loans) or such lesser amount as is determined by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and National City (collectively, the “Arrangers”) and the Company and notified to such Lender on or prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date. The amount of each Lender’s Extended Revolving Loan Commitment is set forth onSchedule A hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Existing Credit Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall be as determined by the Arrangers and the Company;provided that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Original Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any conversion of such Extended Revolving Loan Lender’s Original Revolving Loans into New Term Loans) immediately prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date.

The conversion undertakings of the Extended Revolving Loan Lenders are several and no such Extended Revolving Loan Lender shall be responsible for any other Extended Revolving Loan Lender’s failure to make by conversion any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments. The Borrowers will be required to make any payments to Original Revolving Loan Lenders under Section
4.4 of the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of the conversion of Existing Revolving Loan Loans on the Second Restatement Effective Date for Extended Revolving Loans.
SECTION 3.New Term Loans.

The amount of Original Revolving Loans of each New Term Loan Lender to be converted into New Term Loans as set forth onSchedule B hereto shall be determined by the Arrangers and the Company and notified to such New Term Loan Lender on or prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Existing Credit Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate principal amount of Original Revolving Loans to be converted into New Term Loans shall be as determined by the Arrangers and the Company;provided that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loans exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Original Revolving Loans immediately prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date andprovided,further, that that no more than $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of all Original Revolving Loans may be converted into New Term Loans, unless the Administrative Agents and the Company shall otherwise agree. The conversion undertakings of the New Term Loan Lenders are several and no such New Term Loan Lender shall be responsible for any other New Term Loan Lender’s failure to make by conversion any New Term Loans. The Borrowers will be required to make any payments to New Term Loan Lenders under Section 4.4 of the Restated Credit Agreement in respect of the conversion of Original Revolving Loans on the Second Restatement Effective Date into New Term Loans.
(b) All Borrowings of New Term Loans made on the Second Restatement Effective Date will have initial Interest Periods ending on the same dates as the Interest Periods applicable at such time to the Original Term Loans.

6.12(e) | South Plainfield, NJ | CERCLIS list. This site was put on the CERCLIS list in 1993 and we don’t know why. Ferro sold this site in 2003 and went through a NJ ISRA investigation. After some limited remediation it met residential clean up criteria. | Not Known | Not Known | ||||||

The State of New Jersey has notified the Company of alleged non-compliance with the facility’s Title V operating permit. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) informally alleged up to $1.9MM in liability for alleged violations of its Title V permit. The Company and NJDEP have been participating in discussions to resolve the issues. To date, no Complaint or Administrative Order & Notice of Civil Administrative Penalty Assessment have been filed or issued by the NJDEP.
