W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Guarantors desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall permit such amendments pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     1. All capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning herein as in the Credit Agreement unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
     2. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete therefrom the following definition:
     Leverage Ratio (Pricing)
     3. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by restating the following definitions in their entirety as set forth below:
     Base Rate shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate in effect on such day plus one half of one percent (0.50%) and (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate plus one percent (1.00%).
     Consolidated EBIT for any period of determination shall mean the sum of (i) net income (or loss) (excluding extraordinary gains or losses including, without limitation, those items created by

 


 

mandated changes in accounting treatment), plus (ii) net interest expense, (iii) plus all charges against or minus credits to income for federal, state and local taxes, (iv) plus or minus, as applicable, any other non-cash non-recurring items of gain or loss with respect to such fiscal period not already excluded hereunder, (v) plus or minus, as applicable, any non-cash pension expense or income, provided, however, that voluntary pension contributions shall not be included in calculating pension expense or income, in each case of ATI and its Subsidiaries for such period determined and consolidated in accordance with GAAP.
     Consolidated Net Indebtedness shall mean (a) Consolidated Total Indebtedness minus (b) (i) cash that is not subject to a Lien, plus (ii) Permitted Investments that are not subject to a Lien, minus (iii) Fifty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00), in each case determined and consolidated for ATI and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.
     Leverage Ratio shall mean as of the date of determination, the ratio of (A) Consolidated Net Indebtedness on such date to (B) Consolidated EBITDA (i) for the four (4) fiscal quarters ending if such date is a fiscal quarter end or (ii) for the four (4) fiscal quarters most recently ended if such date is not a fiscal quarter end.
     Loan Documents shall mean this Agreement, the Administrative Agent’s Letter, the First Amendment Administrative Agent’s Letter, the Guaranty Agreements, the Intercompany Subordination Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit and any other instruments, certificates or documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance herewith or therewith, and Loan Document shall mean any of the Loan Documents.

     13. Each reference to the Credit Agreement that is made in the Credit Agreement or any other document executed or to be executed in connection therewith shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
     14. The agreements contained in this First Amendment are limited to the specific agreements made herein. Except as amended hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

     15. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
