Each Revolving Credit Loan which shall not utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment in full
shall be in an amount not less than Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) in the
case of Prime Loans, and Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) in the case of LIBOR
Loans. Each advance made in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by each Bank in
the proportion which that Bank’s Commitment bears to the Revolving Credit Commitment. Pursuant to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Credit Loans may be outstanding as Prime
Loans or LIBOR Loans. Each type of Revolving Credit Loan shall be made and maintained at such
Bank’s Lending Office for such type of Loan. The failure of any Bank to make any requested Loan to
be made by it on the date specified for such Loan shall not relieve any other Bank of its
obligation (if any) to make such Loan on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Bank to make such Loans to be made by such other Bank.



Section 2.02 Letters of Credit.



(1) Issuance. The Agent hereby agrees for its behalf and for the other Banks, on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue stand-by and commercial letters of
credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify
each Letter of Credit from time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to
the Termination Date upon the request of Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Letter
of Credit is issued or modified, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit
Loans and all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date not later than one year from the date
of issuance, subject to renewal terms allowing for annual extensions, provided that in no event
shall any Letter of Credit have a final expiry which is later than the thirtieth Business Day prior
to the Termination Date.



(2) Notice. Subject to Section 2.02(1), Borrower shall give the Agent notice at least
one (1) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or modification of each Letter of
Credit, specifying the account party (which must be Borrower or a Subsidiary), the beneficiary, the
proposed date of issuance (or modification) and the expiry date of such Letter of Credit, and
describing the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions proposed
to be supported thereby. The issuance or modification by the Agent of any Letter of Credit shall,
in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 (the satisfaction of which the Agent
shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit
shall be satisfactory to the Agent and that Borrower and the account party (if other than Borrower)
shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and
agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the Agent shall have reasonably requested (each, a
“Letter of Credit Application Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall control.



(3) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay a fee, for the pro-rata benefit of all
Banks, equal to, as of any date of determination thereof, the following:



	 	 	 
	Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio	 	 
	(as determined using Borrower’s most recent financial

statements [and, in the case of the year-end financial

statements, audit report] for the fiscal quarter then

ended)

	 	





Letter of Credit Fee
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 2.25 to 1

	 	175 basis points
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1 but less than 2.25 to 1

	 	150 basis points
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1 but less than 1.75 to 1

	Greater than or equal to .75 to 1 but less than 1.25 to 1

	 	100 basis points
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	Less than .75 to 1

	 	75 basis points
	 

	 	 







on the average daily undrawn stated amount under all such Letters of Credit, such fee to be
calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, and to be payable quarterly in arrears,
on the 1st day of each quarterly period based starting from the issuance date of the
applicable Letter of Credit, commencing with the first full quarterly period, and on the expiration
date. Borrower shall also pay to the Agent for its own account documentary and processing charges
in connection with the issuance or modification of and draws under Letters of Credit in accordance
with the Agent’s standard schedule for such charges as in effect from time to time.



(4) Administration. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any demand for payment under
any Letter of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify Borrower as to the amount to be paid by the
Banks as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (each a “Letter of Credit Payment
Date”). Each Bank shall make a Revolving Credit Loan based on its Pro Rata Share, the proceeds of
which shall be used to pay the applicable Letter of Credit. The responsibility of the Agent to
Borrower shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment)
delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in
all material respects with such Letter of Credit.



(5) Reimbursement. Borrower and any other applicable account party shall be
irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Agent on or by the applicable Letter of
Credit Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the Agent upon any drawing under any Letter of
Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. All such amounts
paid by the Agent and remaining unpaid by Borrower and any other applicable account party shall
bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (i) the
applicable Adjusted Prime Rate for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable Letter of
Credit Payment Date and (ii) the sum of 2% plus the Adjusted Prime Rate (defined in Section 2.08)
applicable for such day if such day falls after such Letter of Credit Payment Date.



(6) Increased Costs. If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law,
rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Agent with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit
or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit
issued or to be issued hereunder, and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Agent of
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or reduce any amount receivable hereunder by the Agent
in respect of any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost, or reduction in amount receivable,
shall be the result of the Agent’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or
reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by the Agent, Borrower agrees to pay to
the Agent, from time to time as specified by the Agent, such additional amounts as shall be
sufficient to compensate the Agent for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received by
the Agent. A certificate of the Agent submitted by the Agent to Borrower shall be conclusive as to
the amount thereof in the absence of manifest error.



(7) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrower and any other applicable
account parties under this Section 2.02 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Borrower or
any of the foregoing account parties may have or have had against the Agent or any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit. Borrower and the applicable account parties further agree with the Agent that
the obligation for reimbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit shall not be affected by the
validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should
in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or
among Borrower and any other applicable account parties, or any of their Affiliates, the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to whom any Letter
of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of Borrower or any other
applicable account parties, or any of their Affiliates, against the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any such transferee. The Agent shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption
or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in
connection with any Letter of Credit. Borrower and any other applicable account parties agree that
any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the
related drafts and documents, if done in good faith and without gross negligence or willful
misconduct, shall be binding upon them and shall not put the Agent under any liability to any of
them.



(8) Actions of Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message,
statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.



(9) Indemnification. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent,
and its respective directors, officers and employees from and against any and all claims and
damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed
against the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the execution and
delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or any actual or
proposed use of any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses which the Agent may incur by reason of or on account of the Agent
issuing any Letter of Credit which specifies that the term “beneficiary” included therein includes
any successor by operation of law of the named beneficiary, but which Letter of Credit does not
require that any drawing by any such successor beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal
document, satisfactory to the Agent, evidencing the appointment of such successor beneficiary;
provided that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Agent for any claims, damages,
losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (x) to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent in determining whether a request presented
under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) the Agent’s
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (y) which are the subject of or
are incurred in connection with any litigation or proceeding with respect to which (i) Borrower or
any other applicable account parties, or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and (ii) the Agent, on
the other hand, are directly opposing parties and with respect to which a final, non-appealable
judgment has been rendered in favor of Borrower or such other applicable account party or their
Affiliates by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 2.02(9) is intended to
limit the obligations of Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.



Section 2.03 Reduction of Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three (3)
Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portion of
the Revolving Credit Commitment, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at
least One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), and provided further that no reduction shall
be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayment made therewith, the outstanding
and unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit shall exceed the
Revolving Credit Commitment. Any reduction in part of the unused portion of the Banks’ Commitments
shall be made in the proportion that each Bank’s Commitment bears to the Revolving Credit
Commitment. The Revolving Credit Commitment, once reduced or terminated, may not be reinstated.



Section 2.04 Notice and Manner of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice of any
Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement prior to 10:00 a.m. on the day of each Prime Loan, and
at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Loan, specifying: (1) the date of such Loan;
(2) the amount of such Loan; (3) the type of Loan; and (4) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, the
duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of
each such notice. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the date of such Revolving Credit
Loans, each Bank will make available to the Agent at the Agent’s Principal Office in immediately
available funds, such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Loans. After the Agent’s
receipt of such funds, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the date of such Revolving
Credit Loans and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Agent
will make such Revolving Credit Loans available to the Borrower in immediately available funds by
crediting the amount thereof to the following account with the Agent: Account styled SCS
Transportation, Inc. Operating Account, No. 209908769.



All notices given under this Section 2.04 shall be irrevocable and shall be given not later
than 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on the day which is not less than the number of Business Days
specified above for such notice.



Section 2.05 Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Bank prior to the date on which such Bank is to provide funds to the Agent for a Loan to be made by
such Bank that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such funds, the Agent may assume that
such Bank has made such funds available to the Agent on the date of such Loan in accordance with
Section 2.04 and the Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and
to the extent such Bank shall not have so made such funds available to the Agent, such Bank agrees
to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower by Agent until the date
such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate set by the Agent for the correction
of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable
to the Revolving Credit Loans. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount,
such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If such
Bank does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent
shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding
amount to the Agent with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the rate of interest
applicable at the time to such proposed Loan.



Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the
Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent,
each Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank
until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate set by the
Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the
interest rate then applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans.



Section 2.06 Conversions and Renewals. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or
a part of one type of Loan into another type of Loan or to renew all or part of a Loan by giving
the Agent written notice by submitting to Agent an Interest Rate Election Notice, in form and
content as set forth on Schedule “2.06" hereto, at least one (1) Business Day before
conversion into a Prime Loan, at least three (3) Business Days before conversion into or renewal of
a LIBOR Loan, specifying: (1) the renewal or conversion date; (2) the amount of the Loan to be
converted or renewed; (3) in the case of conversions, the type of Loan to be converted into; and
(4) in the case of renewals of or a conversion into LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest
Period applicable thereto; provided that (a) the minimum principal amount of each Loan outstanding
after a renewal or conversion shall be Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) in the
case of Prime Loans, and Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) in the case of LIBOR
Loans; and (b) LIBOR Loans may be converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of each such notice. All conversions and renewals
shall be made in the proportion that each Bank’s Loan bears to the total amount of all the Banks’
Loans. All notices given under this Section 2.06 shall be irrevocable and shall be given not later
than 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on the day which is not less than the number of Business Days
specified above for such notice. If the Borrower shall fail to give the Agent the notice as
specified above for the renewal or conversion of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest
Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Loan shall automatically be converted into a Prime Loan on
the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan. Notwithstanding anything provided in this
Section 2.06 or in Section 2.04, Borrower shall have no more than four (4) LIBOR Loans outstanding
at any one time.



Section 2.07 Settlement. It is agreed that each Bank’s funded portion of the Revolving Credit Loan
is intended by the Banks to be equal at all times to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, and the other Banks agree
(which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrower) that in order to
facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them
as to the Revolving Credit Loans shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the
following provisions:



(1) The Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Banks on a weekly basis, or on
a more frequent basis if so determined by the Agent, (1) with respect to each outstanding Revolving
Credit Loan, and (2) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying the Banks of
such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such
requested Settlement, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Tulsa, Oklahoma time) on the date of such
requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Bank shall make the amount of such Bank’s Pro
Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan with respect to which
Settlement is requested available to the Agent in same day funds to such account of the Agent as
the Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Tulsa, Oklahoma time), on the Settlement Date
applicable thereto, regardless of whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article
3 have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the
amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Loan and, together with the portion of such Revolving
Credit Loan representing Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans of
such Banks. If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Bank on the Settlement
Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Bank together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and
after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Credit
Loans.



(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by
the Agent, each other Bank shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the
Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Revolving
Credit Loan to the extent of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof by paying to the Agent, in same day
funds, an amount equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Loan. If such amount
is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Bank together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the
first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable
to the Revolving Credit Loans.



(3) From and after the date, if any, on which any Bank purchases an undivided interest and
participation in any Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to subsection (ii) above, the Agent shall,
subject to reimbursement to Agent for any amounts due from such Bank, promptly distribute to such
Bank at such address as such Bank may request in writing, such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of all
payments of principal and interest received by the Agent in respect of such Revolving Credit Loan.



(4) The Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
owing to each Bank. In addition, each Bank is authorized, at such Bank’s option, to note the date
and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans in its
books and records, including computer records, such books and records constituting rebuttably
presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein.



(5) All Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by the Banks simultaneously and in accordance
with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (a) no Bank shall be responsible beyond such
Bank’s Commitment set forth in Section 2.01 hereof for any failure by any other Bank to perform its
obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, (b) no failure by any Banks to perform its
obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall excuse any other Bank from its
obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, and (c) the obligations of each Bank
hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.



Section 2.08 Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest to the Agent for the account of each Bank
on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of that Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans made under
this Agreement at a rate (“Note Rate”) at all times equal to the Adjusted Prime Rate for each Prime
Loan and the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for each LIBOR Loan. The Adjusted Prime Rate and the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate shall be defined as and calculated, on any date of determination thereof, as follows:



1




	 	 	 	 	 
	Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio	 	Adjusted LIBOR Rate	 	Adjusted Prime Rate
	Greater than or equal to 2.25 to 1

	 	LIBOR Rate plus 175

basis points
	 	

Prime Rate
	 

	 	 
	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1 but less than 2.25 to 1

	 	LIBOR Rate plus 150

basis points
	 	

Prime Rate
	 

	 	 
	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1 but less than 1.75 to 1

	 	LIBOR Rate plus 125

basis points
	 	

Prime Rate
	 

	 	 
	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Greater than or equal to .75 to 1 but less than 1.25 to 1

	 	LIBOR Rate plus 100

basis points
	 	

Prime Rate
	 

	 	 
	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Less than .75 to 1

	 	LIBOR Rate plus 75

basis points
	 	

Prime Rate
	 

	 	 
	 	 







The Adjusted LIBOR Rate and Adjusted Prime Rate shall be recalculated on not less than a
quarterly basis, on the date on which the Agent is in receipt of Borrower’s most recent financial
statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) for the fiscal
quarter then ended, pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof (“Pricing Date”). From the date of this
Agreement to the first recalculation, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be set at the LIBOR Rate
plus one and one-quarter percent (1.25%), and the Adjusted Prime Rate shall be set at the
Prime Rate. The Note Rate shall be established based on the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the
most recently completed fiscal quarter and the Note Rate established on a Pricing Date shall remain
in effect until the next Pricing Date. If the Borrower has not delivered its financial statements
by the date such financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit
report) are required to be delivered under Section 5.01 hereof, until such financial statements and
audit report are delivered, the Note Rate shall be the Prime Rate plus one quarter of one
percent (.25%). If the Borrower subsequently delivers such financial statements before the next
Pricing Date, the Note Rate established by such late delivered financial statements shall take
effect from the date of delivery until the next Pricing Date. In all other circumstances, the Note
Rate established by such financial statements shall be in effect from the Pricing Date that occurs
immediately after the end of the fiscal quarter covered by such financial statements until the next
Pricing Date. Each determination of the Note Rate made by the Agent in accordance with the
foregoing shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Banks if reasonably determined.



Any change in the Note Rate resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective as of
the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Prime Rate becomes effective.



Interest on each Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360)
days for the actual number of days elapsed.



Interest on the Loans shall be paid in immediately available funds to the Agent at its
Principal Office for the account of the applicable Lending Office of each Bank as follows:



(1) For each Prime Loan on the first (1st) day of each month commencing the first
such date after such Loan and continuing until the earlier of (i) the date such Prime Loan is paid
in full or (ii) the Termination Date.



(2) For each LIBOR Loan, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Interest Period with
respect to such LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Termination Date.



Section 2.09 Default rate; late payment fee. If any Event of Default occurs hereunder, interest
from the date of such default shall accrue on the principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans
and on any past due interest thereon at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum above the nondefault
interest rate accruing hereunder. The Agent may collect, for the benefit of each Bank based upon
its Pro Rata Share, a late charge not to exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount
of any payment due hereunder which is not paid within ten (10) days from the due date thereof, for
the purpose of covering extra expenses involved in handling delinquent payments.



Section 2.10 Unused Portion Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each
Bank an Unused Portion Fee on the average daily unused portion of such Bank’s Commitment from the
date of this Agreement until the Termination Date at a rate to be calculated, on any date of
determination thereof, as follows:



	 	 	 	 	 
	Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio	 	 	 	 
	(as determined using Borrower’s most recent financial

statements [and, in the case of the year-end financial

statements, audit report] for the fiscal quarter then ended)

	 	



Unused Portion Fee

	 
	 	 	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 2.25 to 1

	 	 	.35	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1 but less than 2.25 to 1

	 	 	.30	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1 but less than 1.75 to 1

	 	 	.25	%
	 

	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Greater than or equal to .75 to 1 but less than 1.25 to 1

	 	 	.20	%
	 

	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Less than .75 to 1

	 	 	.15	%
	 

	 	 	 	 







Such Unused Portion Fee shall be payable on the first (1st) day of each quarter
during the term of such Bank’s Commitment, ending on the Termination Date. Upon receipt of any
Unused Portion Fees, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed such payments to
the Banks in accordance with each Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such payments.



Section 2.11 Notes. All Revolving Credit Loans made by each Bank under this Agreement shall be
evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with, a single promissory note of the Borrower
in substantially the form of Schedule “2.11", duly completed, dated the date of this
Agreement, and payable to such Bank for the account of its applicable Lending Office, such Note to
represent the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Credit Loans. Each Bank is hereby
authorized by the Borrower to endorse on the schedule attached to the Note held by it the amount
and type of each Revolving Credit Loan and each renewal, conversion, and payment of principal
amount received by such Bank for the account of its applicable Lending Office on account of its
Revolving Credit Loans, which endorsement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as
to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Bank; provided, however, that
the failure to make such notation with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan or renewal, conversion,
or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement
or the Note held by such Bank. All Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid on the Termination Date.



Section 2.12 Payments. The Borrower may, upon at least One (1) Business Day’s notice to the Agent
in the case of Prime Loans and at least Three (3) Business Days’ notice to the agent in the case of
LIBOR Loans, pay the Notes, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part with accrued interest
to the date of such payment on the amount paid, provided that LIBOR Loans may be paid, without
premium or penalty, only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans. Upon receipt of
any such payments, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed such payment to each
Bank for the account of its applicable Lending Office in the proportion that each such Bank’s Loan
to which the payment applies bears to the total amount of all the Banks’ Loans to which the payment
applies.



Section 2.13 Method of Payment. The Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and
under the Notes not later than 3:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date when due in lawful money of the
United States to the Agent at its Principal Office for the account of the applicable Lending Office
of each Bank in immediately available funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be
distributed (1) such payments of principal and interest in like funds to each Bank for the account
of its applicable Lending Office based upon its Pro Rata Share thereof and (2) other fees payable
to any Bank to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower hereby
authorizes each Bank, if and to the extent payment is not made when due under this Agreement or
under the Notes, to charge from time to time against any account of the Borrower with such Bank any
amount as due. Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes shall be
stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the
payment of interest and the commitment fee, as the case may be, except, in the case of a LIBOR
Loan, if the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month,
such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.



Section 2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan hereunder shall be used by the Borrower for
general corporate purposes including, without limitation, working capital, letters of credit and
capital expenditures. The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use any part of such proceeds
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to extend credit to any Persons for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is
inconsistent with, Regulation X of such Board of Governors.



Section 2.15 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any Bank
determines that any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in
the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such
Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for
such Bank (or its Lending Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Loans, then upon thirty (30) days
notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) by such Bank the outstanding principal amount of
all LIBOR Loans, together with interest accrued thereon, and any other amounts payable to each Bank
under this Agreement shall be repaid (a) immediately upon demand of such Bank if such change or
compliance with such request, in the judgment of such Bank, requires immediate repayment, or (b) at
the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.



Section 2.16 Disaster. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive) that:



(1) Quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of
LIBOR Rate, are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relative maturities for
purposes of determining the rate of interest on a LIBOR Loan as provided in this Agreement; or



(2) If the Majority Banks determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that the
relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate, upon the basis of which the
rate of interest for any such type of Loan is to be determined do not accurately cover the cost to
the Banks of making or maintaining such type of Loans;



then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon (a) the obligation of
the Banks to make LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and (b) the Borrower shall repay in
full the then outstanding principal amount of each LIBOR Loan, together with accrued interest
thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loan.



Section 2.17 Increased Cost. From time to time upon a thirty (30) day notice to the Borrower from
a Bank (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
applicable Bank such amounts as any Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate such Bank for
any costs incurred by such Bank which such Bank determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining any LIBOR Loans hereunder or its obligation to make any such Loans hereunder, or any
reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any
such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in
U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D), or the
adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to
a class of banks including such Bank of or under U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or
regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court or governmental or monetary
authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (“Regulatory Change”), which:
(1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement or its
Note in respect of any of such Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such
Bank or of its Lending Office for any of such Loans by the jurisdiction where the Principal Office
or such Lending Office is located); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of,
or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including any of such Loans or any
deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate); or (3) imposes any other condition affecting
this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities). Such Bank will
notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of any event occurring after the date of this
Agreement which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.



Determinations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 2.17 of the effect of any Regulatory
Change on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of
Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate any such Bank in respect of any
Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable
basis.



Section 2.18 Risk-Based Capital. In the event that any Bank determines that (1) compliance with
any judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation of any law or regulation or (2)
compliance by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank with any guideline or request from
any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) has the
effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank, and such Bank determines that such increase is
based upon its obligations hereunder, and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to the
Agent, for the account of the applicable Bank, such additional amount as shall be certified by the
Bank to be the amount allocable to such Bank’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder. Such Bank
will notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of any event occurring after the date of this
Agreement that will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.18 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.



Determinations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 2.18 of the effect of any increase in
the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Bank and of the amount allocable to such
Bank’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations
are made on a reasonable basis.



Section 2.19 Funding Loss Indemnification. Upon notice to the Borrower from a Bank (with a copy to
the Agent) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Bank, such amount
or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any
loss, cost, or expense incurred as a result of:



(1) Any payment of a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for
such Loan including, but not limited to acceleration of the Loans by the Agent pursuant to Section
7.01 or any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan under Sections 2.15 or 2.16; or



(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow or convert, as the case may be, a LIBOR Loan on the
date for borrowing or conversion, as the case may be, specified in the relevant notice under
Section 2.06.

quarterly period in the preceding fiscal year and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and
a consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the periods from the beginning of the fiscal

audits and year-end adjustments), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently followed
throughout the periods involved and show all liabilities, direct and contingent, of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries required to be shown in accordance with such principles. The balance sheets
fairly present the condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof, and the
statements of income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity fairly present the results of the
operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their cash flows for the periods indicated.
There has been no material adverse change in the business, property or assets, condition (financial
or otherwise) operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole since
the end of the most recent fiscal year for which such audited financial statements have been
furnished.

the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
properties or rights of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, by or before any court, arbitrator

business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
which purports to affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note.

outstanding any Indebtedness except as permitted by Section 6.03. There exists no default under
the provisions of any instrument evidencing such Indebtedness or of any agreement relating thereto.



Section 4.05 Title to Properties. The Borrower has and each of its Subsidiaries has good and
indefeasible title to its respective real properties (other than properties which it leases) and
good title to all of its other respective properties and assets, including the properties and
assets reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 4.02 (other than
properties and assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business), subject to no Lien of any
kind except Liens permitted by Section 6.02. All leases necessary in any material respect for the
conduct of the respective businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting
and are in full force and effect.

other income tax returns which, to the best knowledge of the officers of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, are required to be filed, and each has paid all taxes as shown on such returns and on

established in accordance with GAAP.



Section 4.07 Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement or subject to any charter or other corporate
restriction which materially and adversely affects its business, property or assets, condition
(financial or otherwise) or operations. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or
the Notes, nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and of the Notes
will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute
a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of
the properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, the charter or
by-laws of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement
(including any agreement with stockholders), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law,
rule or regulation to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is subject. Neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained
in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, any agreement
relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its charter) which limits the amount

to be evidenced by the Notes except as set forth in the agreements listed in Schedule
“4.07" attached hereto.

approached or negotiated with respect thereto with, any Person other than institutional investors,
and neither the Borrower nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which
would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities

CFR Part 221) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“margin stock”) or for the
purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to
purchase or carry any stock that is then currently a margin stock. Neither the Borrower nor any
agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or
the Notes to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or any other regulation of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect now or as
the same may hereafter be in effect.



Section 4.10 ERISA. No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section 302 of ERISA and
section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan (other than a
Multiemployer Plan). No liability to the PBGC has been or is expected by the Borrower or any ERISA
Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is or would be materially adverse to the
business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Borrower, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with
respect to any Multiemployer Plan which is or would be materially adverse to the business, property
or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of the Notes will
be exempt from or will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of section
406 of ERISA and will not involve any transaction in connection with which a penalty could be
imposed under section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975 of the
Code.



Section 4.11 Governmental Consent. Neither the nature of the Borrower or of any Subsidiary, nor
any of their respective businesses or properties, nor any relationship between the Borrower or any
Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the delivery of the Notes
is such as to require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or any action by or notice to
or filing with any court or administrative or governmental or regulatory body in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the delivery of the Notes or fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or of the Notes.



Section 4.12 Environmental Compliance. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries and all of their
respective properties and facilities have complied at all times and in all respects with all
federal, state, local and regional statutes, laws, ordinances and judicial or administrative
orders, judgments, rulings and regulations relating to protection of the environment except, in any
such case, where failure to comply could not result in a material adverse effect on the business,
condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.



Section 4.13 Utility Borrower Status. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a (i) “holding
company,” a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or
of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended or (ii) public utility within the meaning of the Federal
Power Act, as amended.

company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, or an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.



Section 4.15 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or statement
furnished to the Banks by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein and therein not misleading. There is no fact peculiar to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries which materially adversely affects or in the future may (so far as the
Borrower can now foresee) materially adversely affect the business, property or assets, condition
(financial or otherwise) or operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and which has not
been set forth in this Agreement.



Section 4.16 Hostile Tender Offers. None of the proceeds of any Notes will be used to finance a
Hostile Tender Offer.



Section 4.17 Interstate Commerce Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a “rail carrier”

year-end adjustments; provided, however, that delivery pursuant to clause (3) below

prepared in accordance with then current SEC and GAAP standards;



(2) as soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year

respect to consolidated financial statements so long as such statements contained in such Annual

(3) promptly upon transmission thereof, copies of all such financial statements, proxy
statements, notices and reports as it shall send to its public stockholders and copies of all
registration statements (without exhibits) and all reports which it files with the SEC;



(4) promptly upon receipt thereof, a copy of each other report submitted to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary by independent accountants in connection with any annual, interim or special audit
made by them of the books of the Borrower or any Subsidiary;

and its Subsidiaries; and



(6) with reasonable promptness, such other information respecting the condition or operations,

request.



Together with each delivery of financial statements required by clauses (1) and (2) above, the
Borrower will deliver to Agent an Officer’s Certificate calculating the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio
and demonstrating (with computations in reasonable detail) compliance by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries with the provisions of Sections 6.01(1), 6.01(2), 6.01(3), 6.01(4) and 6.07 and
stating that there exists no Event of Default or Default, or, if any Event of Default or Default
exists, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Borrower proposes
to take with respect thereto. Together with each delivery of financial statements required by
clause (2) above, the Borrower will deliver to Agent a certificate of such accountants stating
that, in making the audit necessary for their report on such financial statements, they have
obtained no knowledge of any Event of Default or Default, or, if they have obtained knowledge of
any Event of Default or Default, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof. Such
accountants, however, shall not be liable to anyone by reason of their failure to obtain knowledge
of any Event of Default or Default which would not be disclosed in the course of an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.



The Borrower also covenants that immediately after any Responsible Officer obtains knowledge
of an Event of Default or Default, it will deliver to Agent an Officer’s Certificate specifying the
nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Borrower proposes to take with respect
thereto.



Section 5.02 Inspection of Property. The Borrower will permit any Person designated by any Bank in

the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to examine the corporate books and financial records of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and to discuss the

may reasonably request.



Section 5.03 Covenant to Secure Notes Equally. The Borrower will, if it or any Subsidiary shall
create or assume any Lien upon any of its property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, other than, with respect to Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.03 (i) Liens affecting
assets of a company acquired by Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries (which Liens must be released
and the debt secured thereby extinguished within forty-five (45) days of the acquisition closing
date), and (ii) Liens permitted by the provisions of Section 6.02 (unless prior written consent of
all the Banks to the creation or assumption thereof shall have been obtained), make or cause to be
made effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with
any and all other Indebtedness thereby secured so long as any such other Indebtedness shall be so
secured.



Section 5.04 Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is
subject, including, without limitation, environmental laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect
all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to
the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in
each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or
governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses,
certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole.



Section 5.05 Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain,
with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective
properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms
and in such amounts as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in

then, and in any such event, the Agent shall at the request of, or may, with the consent of,
the Majority Banks, by notice to the Borrower, (1) declare the Banks’ obligation to make Loans to
be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate; (2) declare the outstanding Notes, all
interest thereon, and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and
payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest, and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and (3) demand that the Borrower immediately pay to
the Agent the full amount then available for drawing under each or any Letter of Credit to be held
by the Agent as collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to such documentation that
the Agent may reasonably request, and the Borrower agrees to immediately make such payment and
acknowledges and agrees that the Banks would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by the
Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, shall have the
right to require the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any drawings
or other demands for payment have been made under any Letter of Credit.



Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower), 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 Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or the Bank’s Note or
any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Bank shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or such Bank’s Note or such other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower (with a copy to the
Agent) after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Bank under this Section
7.01 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
setoff) which each such Bank may have.



Section 7.02 Other Remedies. If any Event of Default or Default shall occur and be continuing,
each Bank may proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this Agreement and the Notes by
exercising such remedies as are available to such Bank in respect thereof under applicable law,
either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for specific performance of any
covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Agreement. No remedy conferred in this Agreement upon any Bank is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
by statute or otherwise.



Article 8.




AGENCY PROVISIONS




Section 8.01 Authorization and Action. Each Bank hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and the Agent
shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary for any Bank. The Agent shall have
no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection
of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but
shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or so
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks, and such instructions shall be
binding upon all Banks and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be
required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to
this Agreement or applicable law.



Section 8.02 Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with this Agreement in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (1) may treat the
payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment
or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (2) may consult
with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts; (3) makes no warranty or representation to any
Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statements, warranties, or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement; (4) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this
Agreement on the part of the Borrower, or to inspect the property (including the books and records)
of the Borrower; (5) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, perfection, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (6) shall incur no liability under or
in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument
or writing (which may be sent by telegram, telex, or facsimile transmission) believed by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.



Section 8.03 Rights of Agent as a Bank. With respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it and
the Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Bank” or
“Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Agent in its individual capacity.
The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under
indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, all as if the Agent were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the
Banks.



Section 8.04 Independent Credit Decisions. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any
other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished
to the Agent by the Borrower or Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document (each of which
Agent shall promptly upon receipt provide to each Bank), the Agent shall have no duty or
responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their
Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates.



Section 8.05 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed
by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Bank shall be
liable for any portion of any of the foregoing resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement.



Section 8.06 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving at least sixty (60) days’
prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with
cause, but not without cause, by the Majority Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have
been so appointed by the Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
forty-five (45) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority
Banks’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint
a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States
of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least Two
Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement.



Section 8.07 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Note held
by it in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of the Notes obtained by all the
Banks, such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Notes held by them
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each
of the other Banks, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and
each Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (according to the proportion of (1) the
amount of such Bank’s required repayment to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the
total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from
another Bank pursuant to this Section 8.07 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise
all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

different parties to this Agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall
be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same

ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. NO OFFICER OR ANY
BANK OR OF THE AGENT HAS AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION, OR MODIFY THIS PROVISION.



Section 9.13 USA Patriot Act Notification. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR

activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit
account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services
product. What this means for Borrower: When Borrower opens an account, if Borrower is an
individual, Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, residential
address, date of birth, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower, and, if
Borrower is not an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number,
business address, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower. Lender may
also ask, if Borrower is an individual, to see Borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying
documents, and, if Borrower is not an individual, to see Borrower’s legal organizational documents
or other identifying documents.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first written.

(as successor by merger to Bank One, NA), HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK, and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL

day of September, 2002 and the Amendment One to Agented Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of the
14th day of November, 2003, among SCS TRANSPORTATION, INC. (the “Borrower”), Banks
(other than LaSalle Bank National Association) and Agent (as amended, the “Existing Credit
Agreement”) pursuant to which exists a $75,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan (defined therein) pursuant
to which the Guarantor executed a Guaranty Agreement (“Existing Guaranty Agreement. Borrower,
Banks and Agent have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth in the
Restated Agented Revolving Credit Agreement of even date herewith (“Restated Credit Agreement”) to,
inter alia, increase the maximum credit available to $110,000,000 (the “Loan”), as further
evidenced by Borrower’s promissory notes of even date payable to the order of the Banks in the
aggregate amount of $110,000,000.00 (separately and collectively, the “Notes”).




B. Guarantor will benefit directly and indirectly from the making of the Loan to Borrower.



C. The Banks are unwilling to extend the Loan to Borrower unless they receive an unconditional
and continuing restatement of the Existing Guaranty Agreement from Guarantor covering all
“Obligations” (as hereinafter defined).



AGREEMENT




For and in consideration of the Recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, and in order to induce the
Banks to extend the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor hereby agrees with the Banks as follows:



Section 1. Guarantee. Guarantor, jointly and severally with the other guarantor(s)
of the obligations of Borrower to the Banks, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to
the Banks and their successors and assigns the due and punctual payment of all liabilities and the
performance of all obligations of Borrower to the Banks under the Notes, the Restated Credit
Agreement, any reimbursement agreement relating to a Letter of Credit, and any other document or
instrument executed by Borrower in connection with the Loan, primary or secondary (whether by way
of endorsement or otherwise), whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising out of
contracts, torts or otherwise, whether created directly with the Banks or acquired by the Banks
through assignment, endorsement or otherwise; whether matured or unmatured; whether absolute or
contingent; whether joint or several; as and when the same become due and payable (whether by
acceleration or otherwise), in accordance with the terms of any such instruments, accounts
receivable and other security agreements, contracts, drafts, leases or chattel paper, evidencing
any such indebtedness, obligations or liabilities, including all renewals, extensions or
modifications thereof (all liabilities and obligations of Borrower to the Banks, including all of
the foregoing, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Obligations”).



Further, whether or not suit is brought by the Agent or the Banks against Borrower or any
other guarantor to acquire possession of collateral or to enforce collection of any unpaid balances
hereunder, Guarantor hereby expressly agrees to pay all reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’
fees (including legal assistants’ fees) actually incurred by the Agent and the Banks.



Section 2. Operation of Guaranty. This is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection, and Guarantor expressly waives any right to require that any action be brought against
Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor. If
Borrower shall default in payment or performance of any of the Obligations when due, Guarantor,
upon written demand by Agent, without notice other than such demand and without the necessity of
further action by the Agent or the Banks, will promptly and fully make such payments and indemnify
the Banks and their officers, directors, employees, representatives, counsel and agents from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including
without limitation at any time following payment of the Loan and Notes) be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against any such person in any way relating to or arising out of Borrower’s failure to
pay its indebtedness to the Banks. All payments by Guarantor shall be made in any coin or currency
of the United States of America which on the respective dates of payment thereof is legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts and which is immediately available to Agent, for the
benefit of the Banks, at its principal office in Tulsa, Oklahoma (or such other place as Agent may
designate in writing). Each default in payment or performance of the Obligations shall give rise
to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause
of action arises.



Section 3. Obligations of Guarantor Absolute and Unconditional. The obligations of
Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, shall remain in full force and effect
until all of the Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and performed and shall
not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever (other
than full, final and indefeasible payment and performance of all of the Obligations), including
without limitation (a) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence
or modification of or change in any of the Obligations, (b) any impairment, modification, release
or limitation of the liability of Borrower, or any security for the Obligations, or any remedy for
the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the U.
S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (c) the
assertion or exercise by the Agent or the Banks of any other rights or remedies with respect to the
Obligations or any delay in exercising or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or
remedies, (d) the assignment or mortgaging or the purported assignment or mortgaging of any
property as security for the Obligations, or the release of any such security, (e) any limitation
of Borrower’s liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations imposed by applicable
law, (f) the extension of the time for payment or performance of any of the Obligations or the
extension or the renewal of any thereof, (g) the modification or amendment (whether material or
otherwise) of the Notes, (h) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities,
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting Borrower,
Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Obligations, or any of their affiliates, or any of their
assets, or the disaffirmance of this Guaranty in any such proceeding, (i) the release, substitution
or replacement of any security for the Obligations or any other guaranty thereof, (j) acceptance by
the Agent or the Banks of any payment or performance which is defeasible, void or voidable, as a
preference or otherwise, (k) the unenforceability, invalidity or voidability of the Notes, or (1)
any other occurrence, event or circumstance which might, but for this provision, constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.



Section 4. Waiver of Notice, etc. Guarantor unconditionally waives: (a) notice of any
of the matters referred to in Section 2 hereof except written demand for payment hereunder; (b) any
demand, proof or notice of nonpayment of the principal of or interest on the Notes or of any other
default in the due and timely payment and performance of any of the Obligations; (c) with respect
to the Notes, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest; (d) all
other notices to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; (e) the benefits of all provisions of
law for a stay or delay of execution or any other remedy against Guarantor until a proceeding be
commenced or a judgment be obtained against Borrower and be returned unsatisfied; and (f) to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all other rights and defenses of a guarantor or surety
including, without limitation, those set forth under Title 15 Okla. Stat. §§ 334, 337, 338 and
344, and Title 12 Okla. Stat. § 686.



Section 5. No Right of Setoff. No act of commission or omission of any kind or at any
time upon the part of Borrower, the Agent or the Banks in respect of any matter whatsoever shall in
any way affect or impair the rights of the Banks to enforce any right, power or benefit of the
Banks under this Guaranty, and no setoff, claim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any
defense of any kind or nature which Guarantor has or may have against Borrower, the Agent or the
Banks shall be available to Guarantor against the Agent or the Banks in any suit or action brought
by the Agent or the Banks to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Guaranty.



If any process is issued or ordered to be served upon the Agent or the Banks, seeking to seize
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights or interests in any bank accounts maintained with the Banks, the
balances in any such accounts shall immediately be deemed to have been and shall be set off against
any and all Obligations or all obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor, as of the time of the
issuance of any such writ or process, whether or not Borrower, Guarantor, the Agent or the Banks
shall then have been served therewith.



Section 6. Subordination. All obligations, indebtedness and liabilities, present and
future, of Borrower to Guarantor are hereby subordinated to the Obligations. Guarantor agrees
that, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder,
the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, shall be entitled to receive full payment of all Obligations
before payment of any obligations, liabilities or indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and, to
that effect, agrees:




(a) To receive and hold all amounts paid to Guarantor by or on behalf of Borrower in trust
for the Banks and immediately to pay to Agent such amounts for application to the
obligations, and




(b) Upon any liquidation or distribution of the assets of Borrower, to assign to the Banks
upon their request all claims on account of all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of
Borrower to Guarantor, to the end that Agent, on behalf of the Banks, shall receive all
dividends and payments on such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities until payment in
full of all Obligations. This Guaranty shall constitute such an assignment in the event
Guarantor shall fail or refuse to execute and deliver such other or further assignment of
such claims as the Banks may request.



Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Guarantor shall be entitled to
receive, and shall not be required to hold for or to pay to Agent, payments from Borrower due and
made prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.




Section 7. Extinguishment and Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution.




(a) If any payment of an Obligation shall at any time be repaid by the recipient thereof in
compliance with an order of a court having jurisdiction over any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings relating to Borrower, the amount so repaid shall be deemed not to have been paid
and to be outstanding, and the obligation of Guarantor hereunder to satisfy such Obligation
shall remain in full force and effect.




(b) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it now or hereafter
acquires against Borrower that arise from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of the Banks against Borrower or any security or collateral which the Banks
now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity
or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise
including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or
security on account of such claim or other rights. Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that
it will not, until the Obligations are paid in full, exercise any rights which it may
acquire by way of contribution under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or
otherwise including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other
guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other
manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights. If any amount shall be
paid to Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentences and the Obligations shall not have
been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to Guarantor for the
benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to
Agent, on behalf of the Banks, to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured.



Section 8. Due Diligence. Guarantor acknowledges and represents that it has relied
upon its own due diligence in making its own independent appraisal of Borrower and its business,
affairs and financial condition, and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent
appraisal of such matters, and has not relied upon and will not hereafter rely upon the Agent or
the Banks for information for such appraisal or other assessment or review and, further, will not
rely upon any such information which may now or hereafter be prepared by or for the Agent or the
Banks for any appraisals regarding Borrower.



Section 9. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:




(a) An Event of Default as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement; or




(b) Appointment of a receiver of any part of the property of Borrower or Guarantor, or
insolvency, business failure, assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the
commencement of any proceeding under any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws by
or against, Borrower or Guarantor; or




(c) Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Agent or the Banks by
or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, in connection with this Guaranty or to induce the
Banks to extend credit or otherwise deal with either Borrower or Guarantor proves to have
been false in any material respect when made or furnished; or




(d) Any monetary judgment, assessment, attachment or lien shall be filed against Borrower or
Guarantor or against any of their property and shall remain unpaid or unstayed for a period
in excess of thirty (30) days.



Section 10. Remedies. Should any one or more of the Events of Default defined in
Section 9 occur and be continuing, the Banks may, at their option, enforce against Guarantor its
liabilities hereunder and exercise such other rights and remedies as may be available to the Banks
hereunder, under the Notes and otherwise.



Section 11. Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon the Agent
or the Banks is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy contained herein or in the
Notes or in any other instrument or document delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Notes,
and every such right or remedy contained herein and therein or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity, or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative. The Banks may pursue, or refrain from
pursuing, any remedy available to them at such times and in such order as they in their sole
discretion shall determine, and the Banks’ election as to such remedies shall not impair any
remedies against Guarantor not then exercised.



Section 12. Modification and Waiver. No modification or waiver of any provision of
this Guaranty or of any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and no consent by the
Agent or the Banks to any departure therefrom shall be effective unless such modification or waiver
shall be in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Agent, on behalf of the Banks, and
the same shall then be effective only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific
instances and purposes specified in such writing. No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case
shall entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.



Section 13. Fees and Expenses. Guarantor shall reimburse Agent, or cause Agent to be
reimbursed, for all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent and the Banks with respect
to the documentation or administration of this Guaranty or enforcing the terms hereof, including
the reasonable fees and expenses of the Agent’s and the Banks’ attorneys.



Section 14. Application of Proceeds. All proceeds of any security or any enforcement
action received by the Agent or the Banks with respect to the Obligations may be applied by the
Agent to the Obligations in such order as the Agent and the Banks in their sole discretion may
elect.



Section 15. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without giving effect to the principles of the
conflict of laws.



Section 16. Service of Process. Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that
any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in any way in connection with this Guaranty
may be instituted or brought in all federal and state courts located in the State of Oklahoma, as
Agent may elect and, by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally accepts and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such courts, and to
all proceedings in such courts. Guarantor also consents that service of process in any such action
or proceeding may be made upon Guarantor by mailing a copy of the summons and the complaint to
Guarantor by registered mail, return receipt requested, at the address designated for notices to
Guarantor under Section 19 of this Guaranty. Nothing in this Guaranty or elsewhere shall affect
the Agent’s or the Banks’ right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the
right of the Agent or the Banks to bring actions, suits or proceedings in the courts of any other
jurisdiction.



Section 17. Waiver of Jury Trial. GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF
THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DISPUTE, HOWSOEVER ARISING, BETWEEN GUARANTOR AND THE AGENT OR
THE BANKS.

RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT




THIS RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (“Guaranty”) is made and delivered the 31st day of
January, 2005, by the undersigned, JEVIC TRANSPORTATION, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the
“Guarantor”), to BANK OF OKLAHOMA, N.A., U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.
(as successor by merger to BANK ONE, NA), HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK, and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (individually a “Bank” and collectively the “Banks”), and BANK OF OKLAHOMA, N.A., as
agent for the Banks hereunder (in such capacity the “Agent”).



RECITALS




A. Reference is made to the Agented Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of the 20th
day of September, 2002 and the Amendment One to Agented Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of the
14th day of November, 2003, among SCS TRANSPORTATION, INC. (the “Borrower”), Banks
(other than LaSalle Bank National Association) and Agent (as amended, the “Existing Credit
Agreement”) pursuant to which exists a $75,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan (defined therein) pursuant
to which the Guarantor executed a Guaranty Agreement (“Existing Guaranty Agreement”). Borrower,
Banks and Agent have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth in the
Restated Agented Revolving Credit Agreement of even date herewith (“Restated Credit Agreement”) to,
inter alia, increase the maximum credit available to $110,000,000 (the “Loan”), as further
evidenced by Borrower’s promissory notes of even date payable to the order of the Banks in the
aggregate amount of $110,000,000.00 (separately and collectively, the “Notes”).




B. Guarantor will benefit directly and indirectly from the making of the Loan to Borrower.



C. The Banks are unwilling to extend the Loan to Borrower unless they receive an unconditional
and continuing restatement of the Existing Guaranty Agreement from Guarantor covering all
“Obligations” (as hereinafter defined).



AGREEMENT




For and in consideration of the Recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, and in order to induce the
Banks to extend the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor hereby agrees with the Banks as follows:



Section 1. Guarantee. Guarantor, jointly and severally with the other guarantor(s)
of the obligations of Borrower to the Banks, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to
the Banks and their successors and assigns the due and punctual payment of all liabilities and the
performance of all obligations of Borrower to the Banks under the Notes, the Restated Credit
Agreement, any reimbursement agreement relating to a Letter of Credit, and any other document or
instrument executed by Borrower in connection with the Loan, primary or secondary (whether by way
of endorsement or otherwise), whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising out of
contracts, torts or otherwise, whether created directly with the Banks or acquired by the Banks
through assignment, endorsement or otherwise; whether matured or unmatured; whether absolute or
contingent; whether joint or several; as and when the same become due and payable (whether by
acceleration or otherwise), in accordance with the terms of any such instruments, accounts
receivable and other security agreements, contracts, drafts, leases or chattel paper, evidencing
any such indebtedness, obligations or liabilities, including all renewals, extensions or
modifications thereof (all liabilities and obligations of Borrower to the Banks, including all of
the foregoing, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Obligations”).



Further, whether or not suit is brought by the Agent or the Banks against Borrower or any
other guarantor to acquire possession of collateral or to enforce collection of any unpaid balances
hereunder, Guarantor hereby expressly agrees to pay all reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’
fees (including legal assistants’ fees) actually incurred by the Agent and the Banks.



Section 2. Operation of Guaranty. This is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection, and Guarantor expressly waives any right to require that any action be brought against
Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor. If
Borrower shall default in payment or performance of any of the Obligations when due, Guarantor,
upon written demand by Agent, without notice other than such demand and without the necessity of
further action by the Agent or the Banks, will promptly and fully make such payments and indemnify
the Banks and their officers, directors, employees, representatives, counsel and agents from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including
without limitation at any time following payment of the Loan and Notes) be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against any such person in any way relating to or arising out of Borrower’s failure to
pay its indebtedness to the Banks. All payments by Guarantor shall be made in any coin or currency
of the United States of America which on the respective dates of payment thereof is legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts and which is immediately available to Agent, for the
benefit of the Banks, at its principal office in Tulsa, Oklahoma (or such other place as Agent may
designate in writing). Each default in payment or performance of the Obligations shall give rise
to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause
of action arises.



Section 3. Obligations of Guarantor Absolute and Unconditional. The obligations of
Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, shall remain in full force and effect
until all of the Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and performed and shall
not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever (other
than full, final and indefeasible payment and performance of all of the Obligations), including
without limitation (a) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence
or modification of or change in any of the Obligations, (b) any impairment, modification, release
or limitation of the liability of Borrower, or any security for the Obligations, or any remedy for
the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the U.
S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (c) the
assertion or exercise by the Agent or the Banks of any other rights or remedies with respect to the
Obligations or any delay in exercising or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or
remedies, (d) the assignment or mortgaging or the purported assignment or mortgaging of any
property as security for the Obligations, or the release of any such security, (e) any limitation
of Borrower’s liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations imposed by applicable
law, (f) the extension of the time for payment or performance of any of the Obligations or the
extension or the renewal of any thereof, (g) the modification or amendment (whether material or
otherwise) of the Notes, (h) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities,
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting Borrower,
Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Obligations, or any of their affiliates, or any of their
assets, or the disaffirmance of this Guaranty in any such proceeding, (i) the release, substitution
or replacement of any security for the Obligations or any other guaranty thereof, (j) acceptance by
the Agent or the Banks of any payment or performance which is defeasible, void or voidable, as a
preference or otherwise, (k) the unenforceability, invalidity or voidability of the Notes, or (1)
any other occurrence, event or circumstance which might, but for this provision, constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.



Section 4. Waiver of Notice, etc. Guarantor unconditionally waives: (a) notice of any
of the matters referred to in Section 2 hereof except written demand for payment hereunder; (b) any
demand, proof or notice of nonpayment of the principal of or interest on the Notes or of any other
default in the due and timely payment and performance of any of the Obligations; (c) with respect
to the Notes, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest; (d) all
other notices to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; (e) the benefits of all provisions of
law for a stay or delay of execution or any other remedy against Guarantor until a proceeding be
commenced or a judgment be obtained against Borrower and be returned unsatisfied; and (f) to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all other rights and defenses of a guarantor or surety
including, without limitation, those set forth under Title 15 Okla. Stat. §§ 334, 337, 338 and
344, and Title 12 Okla. Stat. § 686.



Section 5. No Right of Setoff. No act of commission or omission of any kind or at any
time upon the part of Borrower, the Agent or the Banks in respect of any matter whatsoever shall in
any way affect or impair the rights of the Banks to enforce any right, power or benefit of the
Banks under this Guaranty, and no setoff, claim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any
defense of any kind or nature which Guarantor has or may have against Borrower, the Agent or the
Banks shall be available to Guarantor against the Agent or the Banks in any suit or action brought
by the Agent or the Banks to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Guaranty.



If any process is issued or ordered to be served upon the Agent or the Banks, seeking to seize
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights or interests in any bank accounts maintained with the Banks, the
balances in any such accounts shall immediately be deemed to have been and shall be set off against
any and all Obligations or all obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor, as of the time of the
issuance of any such writ or process, whether or not Borrower, Guarantor, the Agent or the Banks
shall then have been served therewith.



Section 6. Subordination. All obligations, indebtedness and liabilities, present and
future, of Borrower to Guarantor are hereby subordinated to the Obligations. Guarantor agrees
that, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder,
the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, shall be entitled to receive full payment of all Obligations
before payment of any obligations, liabilities or indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and, to
that effect, agrees:




(a) To receive and hold all amounts paid to Guarantor by or on behalf of Borrower in trust
for the Banks and immediately to pay to Agent such amounts for application to the
obligations, and




(b) Upon any liquidation or distribution of the assets of Borrower, to assign to the Banks
upon their request all claims on account of all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of
Borrower to Guarantor, to the end that Agent, on behalf of the Banks, shall receive all
dividends and payments on such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities until payment in
full of all Obligations. This Guaranty shall constitute such an assignment in the event
Guarantor shall fail or refuse to execute and deliver such other or further assignment of
such claims as the Banks may request.



Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Guarantor shall be entitled to
receive, and shall not be required to hold for or to pay to Agent, payments from Borrower due and
made prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.




Section 7. Extinguishment and Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution.




(a) If any payment of an Obligation shall at any time be repaid by the recipient thereof in
compliance with an order of a court having jurisdiction over any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings relating to Borrower, the amount so repaid shall be deemed not to have been paid
and to be outstanding, and the obligation of Guarantor hereunder to satisfy such Obligation
shall remain in full force and effect.




(b) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it now or hereafter
acquires against Borrower that arise from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of the Banks against Borrower or any security or collateral which the Banks
now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity
or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise
including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or
security on account of such claim or other rights. Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that
it will not, until the Obligations are paid in full, exercise any rights which it may
acquire by way of contribution under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or
otherwise including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other
guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other
manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights. If any amount shall be
paid to Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentences and the Obligations shall not have
been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to Guarantor for the
benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to
Agent, on behalf of the Banks, to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured.



Section 8. Due Diligence. Guarantor acknowledges and represents that it has relied
upon its own due diligence in making its own independent appraisal of Borrower and its business,
affairs and financial condition, and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent
appraisal of such matters, and has not relied upon and will not hereafter rely upon the Agent or
the Banks for information for such appraisal or other assessment or review and, further, will not
rely upon any such information which may now or hereafter be prepared by or for the Agent or the
Banks for any appraisals regarding Borrower.

events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:




(a) An Event of Default as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement; or




(b) Appointment of a receiver of any part of the property of Borrower or Guarantor, or
insolvency, business failure, assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the

(c) Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Agent or the Banks by
or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, in connection with this Guaranty or to induce the

in equity, or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative. The Banks may pursue, or refrain from
