Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Bank severally agrees to make, from time to time to and including the Termination Date, advances on a revolving credit basis (the "Revolving Credit Advances") to the Borrower, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment (as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.01(f) hereof), minus such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Face Amount. (b) Borrowings. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Advances under this Article II (a "Revolving Credit Borrowing") shall consist of a group of Revolving Credit Advances consisting entirely of Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, made by the Banks ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, on the same date, and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, as to which a single Interest Period is in effect. Any group of Revolving Credit Advances made by the Banks having different interests rates or having a different Interest Period (regardless of whether such Interest Period commences on the same date as another Interest Period), or made on a different date shall be considered to comprise a different Revolving Credit Borrowing. (c) Mandatory Repayments of Revolving Credit Advances. If at any time or from time to time the outstanding aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Advances plus the aggregate of Letter of Credit Face Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks the amount necessary to eliminate such excess, as applicable, all without demand, notice, presentment or other condition, each of which is hereby waived by the Borrower. (d) Voluntary Reduction in Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the requirements of Section 2.01(a) hereof, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent, permanently reduce in part or terminate in whole the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments be reduced to an amount which is less than the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Face Amount of then outstanding Letters of Credit. Any such reduction or termination of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by the payment of an amount equal to the sum of (i) all accrued, but unpaid, interest on the principal amount of such reduction of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments to the date of such reduction or termination plus (ii) the excess, if any, of the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding plus the Letter of Credit Face Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit over the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment of the Banks as so reduced. Any permanent reduction under this Section 2.01(f) shall be in the minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof. (e) Letters of Credit. KeyBank shall, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and upon such other terms and conditions as may, from time to time, be acceptable to KeyBank as being consistent with the terms and conditions customary for letters of credit issued by KeyBank and appropriate for the Borrower, issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Termination Date and expiring, in any event, no later than the Termination Date; provided, however, that the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit issued by KeyBank shall not at any time exceed the lesser of: (i) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) minus the aggregate Letter of Credit Face Amount then outstanding or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments minus the sum of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances minus the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Face Amount. In the event KeyBank determines that it shall issue a Letter of Credit, each such Letter of Credit shall be for an amount and a term not in excess of one year (but, at the request of the Borrower and in the sole discretion of KeyBank which such discretion shall not be unreasonably exercised, renewable yearly until the Termination Date), and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions, as may be acceptable to KeyBank in its sole discretion which such discretion shall not be unreasonably exercised. All letters of credit issued by KeyBank shall be in the form of KeyBank's standard letter of credit and reimbursement agreement form. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, KeyBank shall sell and transfer to each Bank, and each Bank shall buy and receive, in each case without any further action on the part of any party, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Bank's Pro Rata Share in and to each Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower in respect of each Letter of Credit under this Agreement. (f) Extension of Termination Date. So long as each of the Banks shall have received the most recent audited financial statements required to be delivered to the Banks pursuant to the Riser Guaranty, on October 31 of each year, the Borrower may request, in a writing delivered to the Agent, that the Termination Date be extended one year to the October 31 next following the Termination Date then in effect. The Banks agree to consider each such request; provided, however, that (i) such consideration shall be in each Bank's sole and absolute discretion and (ii) in no event shall any Bank be committed to extend its Revolving Credit Commitment, nor shall any Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment be extended, unless and until every Bank shall have executed and delivered to the Agent its written consent to the extension and the Agent shall have confirmed to that Bank the consent of the other Banks. The Bank's shall respond to a request hereunder within a reasonable time period except that any failure of the Banks or any one of them to respond shall not be deemed to be a consent to such request for extension. 2.6 Amendment to Section 2.02(a).

(ii) Notice of Borrowing. Revolving Credit Advances comprising a Borrowing shall be made upon notice (a "Notice of Borrowing") given by the Borrower to the Agent (i) not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the Business Day which is the requested date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Prime Rate Loans and (ii) not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans.

Section 2.02(b) shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof: (b) Availability of Funds. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date (or, in the case of Prime Rate Loans, prior to the time) of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Borrowing available to the Agent on the date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a)(iii) of this Agreement. In reliance upon such assumption, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower on such date, a corresponding portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowing. Any disbursement by the Agent in reliance on such assumption shall be deemed to be an advance of Revolving Credit Advances by such Bank. 2.8 Amendment to Section 2.02(c).

(i) Payment Constituting Pro Rata Share. If such Bank pays to the Agent the Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Borrowing prior to repayment of such amount by the Borrower, the amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, as the case may be, and the Borrower shall have no further obligation to make the payment required by this Section. (ii) Continuing Borrower Obligation. Failure of any Bank to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing shall not relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrower of any of its duties or obligations hereunder.
