rating for any Index Debt, then the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined on the basis of such single Index Debt Ratings; (c) if the Index Debt Ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s or S&P for any Index Debt shall fall within different categories, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be based on the category corresponding to the higher of such Index Debt Ratings, unless such ratings differ by two or more categories, in which case the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate will be based upon the category one level below the category corresponding to the higher of such Index Debt Ratings; and (d) if any rating for any Index Debt established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s or S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, Alcoa and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the non-availability of ratings from such rating agency, and pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the ratings of such rating agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation shall be employed in determining the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make revolving credit Loans in Dollars or Euros to Alcoa and the Borrowing Subsidiaries during the Revolving Credit Period applicable to such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Loan, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans shall not exceed the Total Commitment, (ii) at all times the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans made by each Lender shall equal its Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and (iii) at no time shall any Lender be obligated to make a Loan in excess of such Lender’s Ratable Portion

of the Available Credit. The Commitment of each Lender is set forth on Schedule 2.01(a) to this Agreement or in any applicable Assignment and Assumption or Accession Agreement. Such Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.23(d) or Section 10.04(h), increased pursuant to Section 2.20 and terminated pursuant to Article VII. Within the limits set forth in this Section 2.01, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay Loans and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is an integral multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 and not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the applicable Commitments, as the case may be).

(b) Each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, however, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than five separate LIBOR Loans in each currency (Dollars or Euros) of any Lender being made to the Borrowers and outstanding under this Agreement at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan that is (A) a Base Rate Loan or (B) a LIBOR Loan, to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Borrower to which such Loan is to be made with The Bank of New York Mellon, or such other account as such Borrower may designate in a written notice to the Administrative Agent, or, if such Loans are not made on such date because any condition precedent to a Borrowing herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or

short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The occurrence of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make a Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Notice of Borrowings. In order to request a Borrowing, a Borrower shall give written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing or by telecopy) (a) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day of such proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before such proposed Borrowing or (c) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in Euro, to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before such proposed Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement, identify the applicable Borrower and specify (i) whether such Borrowing is to be denominated in Dollars or Euros; (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing; (iii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. In the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, if no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then such requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower giving the notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Interest Elections. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) at the option of the applicable Borrower, each Borrowing denominated in Dollars initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing request, (b) each Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be a LIBOR Borrowing, and (c) each LIBOR Borrowing shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the Borrowing request with respect to such Borrowing. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing in its existing Type and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. In the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing (each an “Interest Election Request”).

(b) To make an Interest Election Request, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the applicable Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Sections 2.02 and 2.03:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be payable on the applicable Maturity Date.

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrowers solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at one of its offices a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s, each Lender’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Loan, each Letter of Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights. In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrowers solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (ii)

the Commitments of each Lender from time to time, (iii) the amount of each Loan made and, if a LIBOR Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by the Borrowers to, or for the account of, each Lender hereunder, (v) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by each Borrower to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter Credit Obligations (specifying the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations) due and payable to an Issuer, and (vi) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) and the Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and the Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 2.05 and Section 10.04 shall be construed so that the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(d) The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request a promissory note evidencing the Loans made by it hereunder (each a “Note”) to Alcoa or any Borrowing Subsidiary, Alcoa or such Borrowing Subsidiary shall deliver such a Note, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, payable to such Lender or its order, and, subject to Section 2.05(c), the interests represented by such Note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its order.

SECTION 2.06. Fees. (a) Alcoa agrees to pay, or cause any other Borrower to pay, in immediately available Dollars for the account of the Lenders as set forth below in this Section 2.06, a facility fee (collectively, the “Facility Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on (i) the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether used or unused), for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitment is terminated and the applicable Maturity Date and (ii) after the termination of such Commitment, on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Outstandings. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Effective Date, for the account of each Lender, (B) on the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date, (x) if Alcoa shall not have requested a First Extension, for the account of each Lender or

(y) if Alcoa shall have requested a First Extension, for the account of each Lender that shall not have consented to such First Extension, (C) the First Extended Maturity Date, (x) if Alcoa shall not have requested a Second Extension, for the account of each Lender, or (y) if Alcoa shall have requested a Second Extension, for the account of each Lender that shall not have consented to such Second Extension, (D) the Second Extended Maturity Date, if applicable, for the account of each Lender and (E) the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated in whole (or, in the case of Letters of Credit, fully cash collateralized in accordance with the last paragraph of Article VII), for the account of each Lender; provided, however, that if any Revolving Credit Outstandings shall be outstanding after the date on which the Commitments have been terminated in whole, then such Facility Fee shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. Alcoa agrees to pay, or cause any other Borrower to pay, the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears on (A) the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (B) the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date, (C) the First Extended Maturity Date, if applicable, (D) the Second Extended Maturity Date, if applicable, and (E) the Maturity Date;

(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans that are LIBOR Loans on the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears on (A) the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (B) the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date, (C) the First Extended Maturity Date, if applicable, (D) the Second Extended Maturity Date, if applicable, and (E) the Maturity Date; and

(iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

(c) Alcoa agrees to pay, or cause any other Borrower to pay, to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, for their respective accounts, the fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon among Alcoa, such Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers.

(d) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent, for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, the fees shall not be refundable except in the case of an error which results in the payment of fees in excess of those due and payable as of such date, in which case the Administrative Agent shall cause a refund in the amount of such excess to be paid to Alcoa.

(e) Defaulting Lender Fees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees relating to such Defaulting Lender’s unused Commitments accruing during such period pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such

fees); provided, that (i) to the extent that a Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.23(a), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations cannot be so reallocated or is not cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.23(b), such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the relevant Issuer and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.15 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this 2.06(e)), and (iii) in no event shall the Borrowers be required to pay any Facility Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to any Lender during such period such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.07. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for each day (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect during the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Interest shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period. The applicable LIBO Rate or Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.08. Default Interest. If any Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.07 plus 2% per annum, or (b) in the case of any other amount, the rate applicable to Base Rate Borrowings plus 2% per annum.

SECTION 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that Dollar or Euro deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or other market in which Lenders ordinarily raise Dollars or Euros, as applicable, to fund Loans of the requested Type, or that the rates at which such Dollar or Euro, as applicable, deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its LIBOR Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, then the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the relevant Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, any request made by a Borrower after the date of such notice for a LIBOR Borrowing pursuant to Section

2.03 or 2.04 shall, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised Alcoa and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitment of each Lender and the L/C Commitment of each Issuer shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior irrevocable, written or telecopy notice (which notice may be conditioned upon the closing of any financing arrangement obtained to refinance or replace the Facility) to the Administrative Agent, Alcoa may at any time during the Revolving Credit Period in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an integral multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000 and (ii) the Total Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to any simultaneous prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11).

(c) Except for terminations of Commitment pursuant to Section 2.23(d) and Section 10.04(h), each reduction in Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Total Commitment. Alcoa shall pay, or cause any other Borrower to pay, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each such termination or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Facility Fee on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 and not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000.

(b) On the date of any termination or reduction of any Commitment pursuant to Section 2.10 and on each Extended Maturity Effective date, the Borrowers shall pay or prepay so much of the Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with the last paragraph of Article VII), as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such reduction, termination or extension, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Commitment.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable (but may be conditioned upon the closing of any financing arrangement obtained to refinance or replace the Facility) and shall commit the applicable Borrower to prepay the Loan to which such notice relates by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.14 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

(d) If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Commitments at such time, the Borrowers shall forthwith prepay the Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Loans, the Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in accordance with the last paragraph of Article VII in an amount equal to 105% of such excess.

SECTION 2.12. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein other than Section 2.14(c) and with respect to Taxes (which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 2.18), if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender that makes a LIBOR Loan or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market or other market in which Lenders ordinarily raise Dollars or Euros, as applicable, to fund Loans of the requested Type any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of funding, making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), by an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be material, then Alcoa will pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any Parent Company of such Lender by an amount reasonably determined by such Lender or such Parent Company as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Parent Company with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), Alcoa shall pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Parent Company for such reduction; provided, that (x) such Lender shall be generally seeking, or intending generally to seek, comparable compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such change in or in the interpretation in any law regarding capital requirements and (y) such additional amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by Alcoa or the other Borrowers, as the case may be, under any other provision of this Agreement; provided, further that, this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its Parent Company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and showing the calculation for such amounts shall be delivered to Alcoa and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that such certificate states that such Lender is treating substantially all similarly situated borrowers in a manner that is consistent with the treatment afforded the Borrowers hereunder. Alcoa shall pay or cause to be paid to each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Except as provided in this paragraph, failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed. No Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.12 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have notified Alcoa that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above not more than 60 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have or reasonably should have become aware of such costs or reductions. In the event a Borrower shall reimburse any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any cost and the Lender shall subsequently receive a refund in respect thereof, the Lender shall so notify such Borrower and shall pay to such Borrower the portion of such refund which it shall determine in good faith to be allocable to the cost so reimbursed.

SECTION 2.13. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein other than Section 2.14(c), if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written or telecopy notice to Alcoa and the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to Base Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be so converted as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

SECTION 2.14. Indemnity. Alcoa shall indemnify or cause the other Borrowers to indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by a Borrower to borrow any LIBOR Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (c) any payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable

thereto, other than any loss of profit resulting from any event, circumstance or condition set forth in Section 2.12 or 2.13, (d) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise) or (e) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a LIBOR Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid or not borrowed (assumed to be the LIBO Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculation of such amount or amounts shall be delivered to Alcoa and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.15. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.13 or as provided under Section 2.06(e), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fee and each conversion or continuation of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing, computed in accordance with Schedule 2.01(a), to the next higher or lower whole of the Dollar Equivalent amount. All payments of fees (other than the Facility Fee) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or any Letter of Credit Obligation as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Revolving Credit Outstandings shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Revolving Credit Outstandings of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings and participations in Revolving Credit Outstandings held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Outstandings then outstanding as the principal amount of its Revolving Credit Outstandings prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Revolving Credit Outstandings outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery

and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Alcoa and each other Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in any of the Revolving Credit Outstandings deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by Alcoa or such other Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan or otherwise extended credit directly to Alcoa or such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17. Payments. (a) Each payment or prepayment by any Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Loans, any fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other amounts due hereunder (other than amounts referred to in clause (b) below) shall be made, without setoff or counterclaim, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no such currency is specified, in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx #0, Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000, in immediately available funds.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, except as provided in the definition of Interest Period, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.

(c) Each payment by any Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such cost, expense or other Obligation was incurred; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.18. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of a Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lenders or the Issuers (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that no Transferee of any Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 2.18 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive immediately before assignment, participation or other transfer with respect to the rights assigned, participated or transferred unless such assignment, participation or transfer shall have been made (A) prior to the occurrence of an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) giving rise to such greater payment or (B) at the request of Alcoa.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (herein referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Borrower will indemnify each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.18(c)) paid by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculations of such amount. Such calculations, if made in good faith, absent manifest error, shall be final and conclusive on all parties.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by any Borrower in respect of any payment to any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.18 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(f) Each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee) represents to Alcoa that, on the date such Lender (or such Transferee) becomes a party to this Agreement, it is eligible to receive payments of interest hereunder from Alcoa or any Borrowing Subsidiary without withholding in respect of United States Federal withholding tax (except, in the case of a Transferee of any Lender, as a result of the occurrence of an event (including a change in treaty, law or regulation) after the date of this Agreement giving rise to withholding to which such Lender would be subject).

(g) Each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee), other than a Transferee described in the exception in Section 2.18(f), that is not a “United States person,” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to Alcoa and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) establishing that payment made to such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) is (i) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code because such payments are effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) totally exempt from United States Federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty, or (iii) eligible for the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, in which case such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that such Lender or Issuer is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. In addition, each such Lender or Issuer (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from Alcoa or the Administrative Agent. Unless Alcoa and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, United States Federal withholding tax, Alcoa or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(h) Each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee) that is a “United States person,” shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to Alcoa and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) establishing that payment made to such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) is not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax under the Code. In addition, each such Lender or Issuer (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from Alcoa or the Administrative Agent. Unless Alcoa and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax, Alcoa or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(i) Each Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) that is entitled to any exemption or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to Alcoa and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by law, or as may reasonably be requested by Alcoa, establishing that such payment is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, each such Lender or Issuer (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from Alcoa or the Administrative Agent.

(j) None of the Borrowers shall be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) in respect of any withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) to deliver the certificates, documents or other evidence required to be delivered under the preceding paragraph (g), (h) or (i) unless such failure is attributable to (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment or modification to or a revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case on or after the date such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) became a party to this Agreement.

(k) Any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to, at the expense of the Borrowers, file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the relevant Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee).

(l) If any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall promptly repay such refund to such Borrower (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by such Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall obligate any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to apply for any such refund.

(m) Nothing contained in this Section 2.18 shall require any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems to be confidential).

(n) No Borrower shall be required to reimburse any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent with respect to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes unless such Lender, Issuer, Transferee or the Administrative Agent notifies such Borrower of the amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on or before the second anniversary of the date such Lender, Issuer, Transferee or the Administrative Agent pays such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

SECTION 2.19. Assignment of Loans and Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event that (i) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13, (ii) a Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.18 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Alcoa shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution or other entity which shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) Alcoa or the assignee, as the case may be, shall pay (or, in the case of Alcoa, cause another Borrower to pay) to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder.

SECTION 2.20. Increase in Commitments. (a) Alcoa may from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, executed by Alcoa and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called a “Prospective Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause the Commitments of the Prospective Lenders to be increased (or cause Commitments to be extended by the Prospective Lenders, as the case may be) in an amount for each Prospective Lender set forth in such notice; provided, however, that (i) the amount of any such increase in the Commitments shall be no less than $25,000,000, (ii) the sum of the aggregate amount of increases in Commitments under this Section 2.20, during the term of this Agreement, shall not exceed $500,000,000, (iii) each Prospective Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iv) each Prospective Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Accession Agreement. Increases in Commitments and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section shall become effective (A) in the

case of Prospective Lenders already parties hereto, on the date specified in the notice delivered pursuant to this Section and (B) in the case of Prospective Lenders not already parties hereunder, on the effective date of the Accession Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Prospective Lender is a party, (i) such Prospective Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) Schedule 2.01(a) shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitment of the additional Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this Section in the Commitment of a Lender already a party hereunder, Schedule 2.01(a) shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this Section unless (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered under paragraphs (a) and (c) of Section 4.01 as to the corporate power and authority of Alcoa to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase and (ii) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of Alcoa. Following any increase of a Lender’s Commitment or any extension of a new Commitment pursuant to this paragraph, any Loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such increase or extension shall continue outstanding until the ends of the respective Interests Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be repaid or refinanced with new Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 4.02 shall not apply to such new Loans to the extent they are in a principal amount not greater than that of the Loans being refinanced. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender shall be required to be a Prospective Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Extensions of Initial Scheduled Maturity Date.

(a) Alcoa may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (each an “Extension Request”) given on any date no later than forty-five (45) days prior to each one year anniversary of the Effective Date, requesting that the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date be extended (i) to the First Extended Maturity Date (the “First Extension”) or, (ii) to the extent the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date shall have been extended to the First Extended Maturity Date, to the Second Extended Maturity date (the “Second Extension”); provided, however, that Alcoa may only give two such Extension Requests during the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders and the Issuers of any Extension Request given pursuant to this Section 2.21.

(b) The Initial Scheduled Maturity Date shall be extended (i) with respect to the Commitment, Loans and the other rights and obligations of the Lenders or Issuers that, each acting in its sole discretion, have consented to the First Extension, to the First Extended Maturity Date and (ii) with respect to the Commitment, Loans and the other rights and obligations of the Lenders or Issuers that, each acting in its sole discretion, have consented to the Second Extension, to the Second Extended Maturity Date, in each case of (i) and (ii) above, if (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received the written consent of the Required Lenders to the applicable Extension Request prior to the one year anniversary of the Effective Date occurring immediately after the date on which the applicable Extension Request has been given (each such date, an “Extended Maturity Effective Date”); (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the applicable Extended Maturity Effective Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date; (C) each

Borrower shall be in compliance in all material respects with all the terms and provisions set forth herein on its part to be observed or performed, and on the applicable Extended Maturity Effective Date and immediately after the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date has been extended as requested in the applicable Extension Request, no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (D) the Administrative Agent shall have received (x) the relevant Extension Request and (y) a certificate dated the applicable Extended Maturity Effective Date confirming the satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (B) above and that as of such Extended Maturity Effective Date, no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. In no event shall the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date or the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, be extended with respect to the Commitments, Loans or any other right or obligations hereunder of any Lender or Issuer without the prior written consent of such Lender or Issuer to such extension.

(c) In the event that any Lender or any Issuer shall not have consented to an Extension Request, Alcoa shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender or Issuer and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender or Issuer to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution or other entity (provided, in the case of a replacement of an Issuer, that such financial institution or other entity complies with the definition of Issuer hereunder) that has informed the Administrative Agent of its consent to such Extension Request in writing prior to the applicable Extended Maturity Effective Date, which shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) Alcoa or the assignee, as the case may be, shall pay (or, in the case of Alcoa, cause another Borrower to pay) to the affected Lender or Issuer in immediately available funds on the date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made or Letter of Credit Issued by such affected Lender or Issuer, as applicable, and all other amounts accrued for such affected Lender’s or Issuer’s account or owed to it hereunder.

SECTION 2.22. Letters of Credit. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Issuer agrees to Issue at the request of any Borrower and for the account of such Borrower one or more Letters of Credit from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Period; provided, however, that no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue (and, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi)(A) below, shall not Issue) any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(ii) such Issuer shall have received any written notice of the type described in clause (d) below;

(iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Commitments in effect at such time;

(iv) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, (A) the sum of (i) the Dollar Equivalents of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuer outstanding at such time and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Issuer at such time exceeds such Issuer’s L/C Commitment or (B) the sum of (i) the Dollar Equivalents of the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time and (ii) the Dollar Equivalents of the Reimbursement Obligations at such time exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit;

(v) such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in any currency other than Dollars or Euros; or

(vi) (A) any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer or (C) the Issuer for such Letter of Credit shall not have received, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and, if applicable, duly executed by such Borrower, applications, agreements and other documentation (collectively, a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”) such Issuer generally employs in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit.

None of the Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than five days prior to the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date (or, (A) with respect to any Letter of Credit Issued by any Issuer that has consented to the First Extension, if each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.22(b) with respect to the First Extension shall have been satisfied, the First Extended Maturity Date or (B) with respect to any Letter of Credit Issued by any Issuer that has consented to the Second Extension, if each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.22(b) with respect to the Second Extension shall have been satisfied, the Second Extended Maturity Date); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term less than or equal to one year may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year, as long as, (x) on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, the applicable Borrower and the Issuer of such Letter or Credit shall have the option to prevent such renewal and (y) such Borrower shall not permit any such renewal to extend the expiration date of any Letter beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above.

(c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the currency of issuance and face amount of the Letter of Credit requested (whose Dollar Equivalent shall not be less than $1,000,000), the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day) and, in the case of an issuance, the person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.22, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the applicable Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from

any Lender or the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.02 or clause (a) above (other than those conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(vi)(B) and (C) above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its Affiliates, clause (a)(vi)(A) above) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(e) Each Borrower agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder for the account of such Borrower. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(f) Each Issuer shall comply with the following:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by any Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Lender);

(ii) upon the request of any Lender, furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender; and

(iii) no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar quarter, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and Alcoa separate schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of each quarter and any information requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(h) Alcoa and each other Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after such Borrower receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrowers shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Borrowers is rescinded or set aside for any reason,

such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under clause (g) or clause (h) of Article VII and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Loan to the applicable Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from any Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility.

(j) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Alcoa, any other Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.22, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Alcoa’s or any other Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Borrowers or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.23. Defaulting Lender

(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Obligations:

(i) the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the applicable

Borrower will, not later than 10 Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuer), (A) deposit in a cash collateral account maintained with the Administrative Agent an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuer, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii) any amount paid by any Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.10) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of each Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuer under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of each Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) Cash Collateral Call. If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, the Issuer may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.23(a)), by notice to Alcoa and each other Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require any Borrower (i) to deposit in a cash collateral account maintained by the Administrative Agent an amount at least equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or (ii) to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuer, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Right to Give Drawdown Notices. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuer is hereby authorized by any Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in such amounts and at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans and in such times as may be required to (i) pay matured Reimbursement Obligations and/or (ii) deposit in a cash collateral account maintained by the Administrative Agent the obligations of such Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitments. Alcoa may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Cure. If any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.23(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such Lender’s Ratable Portion to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with its Commitment, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent with respect to itself as follows (except that the Borrowing Subsidiaries make no representations or warranties under Section 3.06 or 3.09):

SECTION 3.01. Organization. Such Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation (or other entity, as applicable) and, where applicable, is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the ownership of its properties or the nature of its activities or both makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization. Such Borrower has power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute, deliver and carry out the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, or to become a party to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of each other Loan Document, to borrow hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder, under each other Loan Document to which it is a party, and all such action has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary proceedings, corporate or otherwise, on its part.

SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which such Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.

SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption or other action by, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is necessary in connection with such Borrower’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which such Borrower is a party, the consummation by any Borrower of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or such Borrower’s performance of or compliance with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof.

SECTION 3.05. No Conflict. None of the execution and delivery by such Borrower of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which such Borrower is a party, the consummation by such Borrower of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or performance by such Borrower of or compliance by such Borrower with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof will (a) violate any law, constitution, statute, treaty, regulation, rule, ordinance, order, injunction, writ, decree or award of any Governmental Authority to which it is subject, (b) conflict with or result in a breach or default under its charter or Memorandum and Articles of Association or by-laws (or equivalent organizational or governing documents), as applicable, (c) conflict with or result in a breach or default which is material in the context of this Agreement under any agreement or instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, may be subject or bound or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien prohibited by Section 6.01 upon any property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, of such Borrower.

SECTION 3.06. Financial Statements. In the case of Alcoa, it has furnished to the Lenders copies of its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2010, all audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Alcoa’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months and six months, as applicable, then ended. Such financial statements (including the notes thereto) present fairly the financial condition of Alcoa and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of said balance sheets as at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, and said statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flows for the three months and six months, as applicable, then ended, to the absence of footnote disclosure and normal year-end audit adjustments), all in conformity with GAAP.

SECTION 3.07. No Defaults. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists which constitutes a Default or Event of Default hereunder. Such Borrower is not in violation of (i) any term of its charter or constitution or by-laws (or the equivalent organizational or governing documents), as applicable, or (ii) any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be subject or bound where such violation is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Litigation. Except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.06 or the Exchange Act Reports or otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3.08, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of any of its Responsible Officers, threatened proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority against Alcoa or any or its Subsidiaries, which in the opinion of Alcoa’s counsel is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09. No Material Adverse Change. As of the date of this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or financial condition of itself and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except, in the case of Alcoa and the Borrowing Subsidiaries, as disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports, since December 31, 2010.

SECTION 3.10. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) U.S. Plans. Each Plan is in compliance with all requirements of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred as to which any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate was required to file a report with the PBGC that alone or together with any other Reportable Event would reasonably be expected to result in a liability of such Borrower to the PBGC in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000. The aggregate present value of all benefit liabilities under the Plans (based on the assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the aggregate value of the assets of the Plans by more than 10% of Consolidated Net Worth. Neither such Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Withdrawal Liability that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither such Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and no Responsible Officer of any Borrower has knowledge of any fact which would reasonably be expected to result in the reorganization or termination of a Multiemployer Plan where such reorganization or termination has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result, through increases in the contributions required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Foreign Plans. Each Foreign Plan is in compliance with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of the Borrowers, their respective Affiliates or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction which would subject any of the Borrowers, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Plan, adequate reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities, after giving effect to any such reserves for such liabilities, with respect to such Foreign Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened in writing against any of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Plan which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11. Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) Such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets, except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes.

(b) Such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have complied with all material obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and all such leases are in full force and effect. Such Borrower and its Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases.

SECTION 3.12. Investment Company Act. None of Alcoa or any Borrowing Subsidiary is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.13. Tax Returns. Such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all material Federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to have been filed by it in all jurisdictions in which such tax returns are required to be filed and all such tax returns are true, complete and correct in all material respects. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries has paid or caused to be paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves are maintained on the applicable financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 3.14. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. (a) Neither such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any material manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound, where such default would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.15. No Material Misstatements. Except for information not prepared by or on behalf of Alcoa and expressly disclaimed thereby, no information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or included herein or delivered pursuant thereto contained or contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading.

SECTION 3.16. Use of Proceeds; Federal Reserve Regulations. The proceeds of any Loan and any Letter of Credit will be used (a) to refinance indebtedness (if any) outstanding under the Existing Five-Year Credit Agreement and (b) to provide working capital or for other general corporate purposes, including but not limited to the support of Alcoa’s Commercial Paper program. No part of the proceeds of any Loan to such Borrower will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations U and X.

SECTION 3.17. No Trusts. Such Borrower is not entering into this Agreement in its capacity as trustee of any trust.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTEE

In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make and maintain the Loans and to Issue Letters of Credit:

(a) Alcoa unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a principal obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of all Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations. Alcoa further agrees that the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon the provisions of this Article VIII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation.

(b) Alcoa waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrowing Subsidiary of any of the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of the guarantee set forth in this Article VIII and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of Alcoa hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or any guarantee; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee; or (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any guarantee or any other agreement.

(c) Alcoa further agrees that the guarantee set forth in this Article VIII constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, in favor of any Borrower or any other person.

(d) The obligations of Alcoa hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim or waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Alcoa hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Alcoa or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Alcoa as a matter of law or equity (other than the defense of payment in satisfaction of such Obligation).

(e) Alcoa further agrees that this guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment by any Borrowing Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on such Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligation upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrowing Subsidiary or otherwise.

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against Alcoa by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrowing Subsidiary to pay any Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, Alcoa hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to such Agent in cash the amount of such unpaid Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligation, and thereupon such Agent shall assign, in any reasonable manner, the amount of the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligation paid by Alcoa pursuant to this guarantee to Alcoa, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligation in question was discharged by Alcoa, or make such other disposition thereof as Alcoa shall direct (all without recourse to the Administrative Agent or any Lender and without any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Lender).

Upon payment by Alcoa of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of Alcoa against the Borrowing Subsidiaries arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations.

SECTION 9.05. Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers, but without affecting the Borrowers’ reimbursement obligation), from and against such Lender’s aggregate ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent any of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of Alcoa (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the earlier of (x) the date that is 30 days after the giving by the existing Administrative Agent of a resignation notice pursuant to this Section 9.06 and (y) the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article IX as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuer may, upon prior written notice to Alcoa and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuer effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days after the date of such notice); provided that such resignation by the Issuer will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of any Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to the Issuer.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 10.04(f)) without the prior written consent of each Lender and each Issuer (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender or Issuer may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than to any Borrower or any Borrower’s Subsidiary or Affiliate) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to its Commitment, the Loans and the Letters of Credit) to (1) any other Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or (2) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) Alcoa, provided that no consent of Alcoa shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent and each Issuer.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, unless each of Alcoa and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of Alcoa shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing);

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E) in the case of an assignment to a CLO (as defined below), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 10.08(b) that affects such CLO.

For purposes of this Section 10.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” shall mean (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

“CLO” shall mean any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto with respect to the interests assumed and, to the extent of the interest assigned under such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender and if such Lender is an Issuer, as Issuer under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.18 and 10.05).

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.04 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice thereof to Alcoa. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth above, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the

consent of Alcoa and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of the Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Ratable Portion of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (vi), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to its Commitment, the Loans and Letters of Credit); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Issuers 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 described in the proviso to Section 10.08(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, Alcoa agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.14 or 2.18 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 Alcoa’s prior written consent or unless the right to a greater payment results from a change in law after the Participant becomes a Participant with respect to such participation.

(d) 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, and the other provisions of this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Alcoa, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(c) relating to notations of transfer in the Register. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.22 shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

(f) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Alcoa at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer, may designate any wholly-owned Subsidiary to be a Borrowing Subsidiary upon the completion of the following: (i) each of Alcoa and such Subsidiary shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Designation of Borrowing Subsidiary and (ii) such Subsidiary shall have complied with Section 4.04, whereupon (A) such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and shall have the rights and obligations of a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder and (B) the obligations of such Subsidiary shall become part of the Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations and the guarantee of Alcoa pursuant to Article VIII hereof shall apply thereto to the same extent that it applies to the other Borrowing Subsidiaries Obligations, if any (the date on which any such designation shall occur being called a “Designation Date”). Following the giving of notice pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, if the designation of such Borrowing Subsidiary obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, Alcoa shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation or other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to comply with “know your customer” and other applicable laws and regulations.

(g) If Alcoa shall designate as a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and Alcoa, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Borrowing Subsidiary (and such Lender shall, to the extent of Loans made to such Subsidiary Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Loans to such Affiliate in compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.04). Upon receiving such notice, the Administrative Agent shall record the relevant information in the Register pursuant to Section 10.04(b)(v) and Section 2.05(b).

(h) As soon as practicable after receiving notice from Alcoa or the Administrative Agent of Alcoa’s intent to designate a wholly-owned Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary, and in any event no later than five Business Days after the delivery of such notice, with respect to a Borrowing Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender or Issuer that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Borrowing Subsidiary, directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender as provided in clause (g) above (each such Lender, a “Protesting Lender”), shall so notify Alcoa and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, Alcoa shall, effective on or before the date that such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (i) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender and in the case of any Protesting Lender that is an Issuer, that the commitment of such Issuer to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, shall be terminated; provided that such Protesting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and/or Reimbursement Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Alcoa or the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary (in the case of all other amounts), or (ii) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Borrowing Subsidiary” hereunder.

SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrowers agree upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and each of the Arrangers for all of each such person’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Weil,

Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP) and for documentary taxes and other charges incurred by each such person in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s negotiation or execution of any Loan Document, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iv) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (v) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (vii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation and execution of the same.

(b) The Borrowers further agree to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which shall be limited to one primary counsel and one local counsel per each applicable jurisdiction), incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lenders or Issuers in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding with respect to Alcoa or any other Borrower, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any of the Borrowers’ respective Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

(c) The Borrowers agree to hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuer, the Syndication Agent, each Arranger and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and representatives (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (which shall be limited to one primary counsel and one local counsel per each applicable jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, unless, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, representation of all such Indemnitees would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case there shall be permitted one additional counsel for such affected Indemnitees)), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee (including in connection with or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Facility, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section applies, such indemnity shall be effective, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Alcoa, any other

Borrower or any of their respective directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other person, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated. No Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to Alcoa, any other Borrower or any of their respective security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.05 and any other indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall (i) remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment in full of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or Lender, and (ii) inure to the benefit of any person that was at the time such claim arose an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Alcoa of any claims for indemnification or other protection under this Section 10.05; provided, however, that any failure by such person to deliver any such notice shall not relieve Alcoa or any other Borrower from its obligations under this Section 10.05. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor, but shall be subject to the requirements of reasonableness and documentation as set forth herein.

SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuer or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of such Borrower (or, in the case of Alcoa, any of and all the Obligations of any Borrower) now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or otherwise and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuer under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or such Issuer may have; provided, however, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23, and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such rights of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Alcoa after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.06. are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any further notice or shall entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of any principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or date fixed for payment of any Facility Fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Facility Fee of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) release any Borrower from its obligations to repay the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof) without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15, the provisions of Article VIII, the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (v) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or (vi) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of an Issuer under Section 2.22 without the prior written consent of such Issuer. Each Lender, each Issuer and each assignee thereof shall be bound by any waiver, consent, amendment or modification authorized by this Section. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as

interest under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable to such Lender, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any fee arrangements related hereto constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the fee arrangements related hereto.

SECTION 10.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.11.

SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03.

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding will be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying

SECTION 10.16. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may legally and effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency in The City of New York, on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer in such currency the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 10.17. National Security Laws. (a) Each Lender and each Issuer hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender or Issuer will assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or sell participations in its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, to any person who is (i) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation or (ii) either (A) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) or similarly designated under any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive orders.
