       Investment Policy Statement for the Debt Service Coverage Account

Investment Policy for the Debt Service Coverage Account of MONY Holdings

         Investments of the assets in the Debt Service Coverage Account will be
undertaken pursuant to the following policy provisions. The goal of these policy
provisions is to obtain reasonable income while providing liquidity and a high
level of safety of capital. To accomplish these objectives the policy provisions
provide for investing in investment grade, fixed income securities. Investment
restrictions will apply at the time of purchase of assets and will be calculated
on a GASP book value basis. The determination of the GAAP book value basis will
be based on the immediately preceding month-end portfolio balance. The
investment policy statement for the assets in the Debt Service Coverage Account
may be amended from time to time with the consent of Ambac, but without the
consent of the noteholders.

Permissible Investments

         Permissible investments include the asset types listed below.

Investment Grade Securities

         The Debt Service Coverage Account may purchase public fixed income
securities with a rating at the time of purchase of at least A2 by Moody's and A
by Standard and Poor's (hereinafter called the Minimum Credit Quality Limit) or,
if a rating is unavailable from one of these agencies, an equivalent rating from
an NRSRO. In addition, the account may purchase:

            (i)  fixed income securities with a maturity of one year or less if
                 they have a rating of at least A-l or P-l; and

            (ii) shares of open-end funds that:

                    o    invest primarily in short-term debt instruments,

                    o    meet the conditions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3) and
                         (c)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act,
                         and

                    o    are issued by an investment company registered under
                         the Investment Company Act or by an exempt issuer.

Securities Rated Below the Minimum Credit Quality Limit

         Securities that do not satisfy the Minimum Credit Quality Limit at the
time of purchase may not be purchased by the Debt Service Coverage Account.
However, the Debt Service Coverage Account may hold securities below the Minimum
Credit Quality Limit as a result of downgrades that may occur from time to time.
If those securities are downgraded below A3 by Moody's or A- by Standard &
Poor's, then we must divest the downgraded securities within six months from the
initial date of downgrade. We may hold such downgraded securities for longer
than six months with the consent of Ambac.

Maximum Maturity

         The Debt Service Coverage Account may not purchase securities with a
remaining maturity in excess of five years from the date of purchase. The
maturity profile of invested assets will take into account anticipated
withdrawals from the Debt Service Coverage Account.

<PAGE>

Single Issuer Limits

         The Debt Service Coverage Account may invest without limitation in debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and U.S.
Government-related entities. Maximum permitted debt exposure to any other single
issuer may not exceed 3% of the amount of the Debt Service Coverage Account.

Separate Accounts

         No transactions may be effected with separate accounts sponsored by
MONY Life or MONY Group or any of its affiliates.

Transactions With Affiliates

         All transactions related to investment management or asset sales and
purchases between MONY Life, MONY Holdings or MONY Group and their affiliates,
for the purposes of this document, shall be on an arms-length basis.

 party investment managers for a negotiated, market-based fee at the discretion
 of the Company.

</TABLE>

         The Borrowing Base shall be computed on a monthly basis, and Borrower
agrees to provide to Agent on the 20th day of each month with regard to the
immediately preceding month all information requested in connection therewith,
including without limitation a Borrowing Base Certificate. In the event
outstanding advances with respect to Qualified Receivables fail to comply with
the formula set forth above, by reason of any accounts receivable ceasing to be
so qualified, for whatever reason, then Borrower shall immediately notify Agent
of such situation and shall, within five (5) Business Days of the imbalance,
either (i) reduce the amount of the outstanding balances to bring such amounts
within the formula prescribed, or (ii) provide additional Qualified Receivables,
without any additional advance being made by the Banks with respect thereto,
necessary to comply with the formulas required herein. Within the limits set
forth in this Section 2.01, the Borrower may borrow, repay pursuant to Section
2.13, and reborrow under this Section 2.01 at any one time and from time to
time.

         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.

2.02 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 14

<PAGE>

         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, (i) the aggregate undrawn stated
         amount under all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time shall not
         exceed $35,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount
         of all Revolving Credit Loans and all outstanding Letter of Credit
         Obligations shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base, or
         (y) 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 III (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:

         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 January, April, July and October. 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.

                                                                         Page 15

<PAGE>

         (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 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

                                                                         Page 16

<PAGE>

         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

                                                                         Page 17

         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.

2.03 SECTION. 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. The Borrower shall pay a cancellation fee in the amount of
$50,000.00 (to be shared by the Banks based on their Pro Rata Share), in the
event the Revolving Credit Commitment is reduced to $10,000,000.00 or less under
the provisions set forth in this Section 2.03 prior to December 31, 2002.

2.04 SECTION. 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
III, 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.

2.05 SECTION. 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 2.05 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

                                                                         Page 18

<PAGE>

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.

2.06 SECTION. 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.

2.07 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 19

<PAGE>

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:

                  (i) 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 III 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.

                  (ii) 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.

                  (iii) 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.

                  (iv) 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

                                                                         Page 20

<PAGE>

records constituting rebuttably presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of
the accuracy of the information contained therein.

                  (v) 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.

2.08 SECTION. 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 calculated, on any date of determination thereof,
as follows:

         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 three-quarters percent (1.75%), 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.

2.09 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 22
<PAGE>

from the due date thereof, for the purpose of covering extra expenses involved
in handling delinquent payments.

2.10 SECTION. 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 the rate of three eights of one percent (3/8 of 1%) per
annum, payable on the first (1st) day of each quarter during the term of such
Bank's Commitment, commencing January 1, 2003, and 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.

2.11 SECTION. 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.

2.12 SECTION. 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.

2.13 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 23
<PAGE>

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.

2.14 SECTION. 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.

2.15 SECTION. 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.

2.16 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 24
<PAGE>

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.

2.17 SECTION. 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.

2.18 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 25
<PAGE>

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.

2.19 SECTION. 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.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         The Borrower represents, covenants and warrants as follows (all
references to "SUBSIDIARY" and "SUBSIDIARIES" in this Article IV shall be deemed
omitted if the Borrower has no Subsidiaries at the time the representations
herein are made and repeated):

4.01 SECTION. ORGANIZATION The Borrower is a corporation duly organized and
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, each
Subsidiary is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and the Borrower has and each
Subsidiary has the power to own its respective property and to carry on its
respective business as now being conducted. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the Notes are within the
Borrower's corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action.

                                                                         Page 28

4.02 SECTION. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Borrower has furnished to Agent the
following financial statements, certified by a principal financial officer of
the Borrower: (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as at December 31, in each of the two fiscal years of the Borrower
most recently completed prior to the date as of which this representation is
made or repeated (other than fiscal years completed within 90 days prior to such
date for which audited financial statements have not been released) and
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and a consolidated statement of
shareholders' equity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for each such year,
all reported on by Arthur Andersen LLP (for periods prior to January 1, 2002)
and KPMG LLP or another nationally recognized public accounting firm (for
periods on and after January 1, 2002); and (ii) a consolidated balance sheet of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the end of the quarterly period (if any)
most recently completed prior to such date and after the end of such fiscal year
(other than quarterly periods completed within 45 days prior to such date for
which financial statements have not been released) and the comparable 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 years in which such quarterly periods are included
to the end of such quarterly periods, prepared by the Borrower. Such financial
statements (including any related schedules and/or notes) are true and correct
in all material respects (subject, as to interim statements, to changes
resulting from 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.

4.03 SECTION. ACTIONS PENDING. 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, or any properties or rights of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative
or governmental body which might result in any material adverse change in the
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.

4.04 SECTION. OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has 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.

4.05 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 29
<PAGE>

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.

4.06 SECTION. TAXES. The Borrower has and each of its Subsidiaries has filed
all federal, state and 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 all assessments received
by it to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such taxes as are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate
reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

4.07 SECTION. 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 of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the
incurring of, Indebtedness of the Borrower of the type to be evidenced by the
Notes except as set forth in the agreements listed in Schedule "4.07" attached
hereto.

4.08 SECTION. OFFERING OF NOTES. Neither the Borrower nor any agent acting on
its behalf has, directly or indirectly, offered the Notes or any similar
security of the Borrower for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy the Notes
or any similar security of the Borrower from, or otherwise 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 Act or to the provisions of any
securities or Blue Sky law of any applicable jurisdiction.

4.09 SECTION. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Notes will be used for
general corporate purposes including working capital, letter of credit and
capital expenditures. None of the proceeds of the Notes will be used, directly
or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" as defined in Regulation U (12 CFR
Part 221) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("MARGIN
STOCK")

                                                                         Page 30
<PAGE>

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.

4.10 SECTION. 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.

4.11 SECTION. 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.

4.12 SECTION. 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.

4.13 SECTION. 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.

                                                                         Page 31
<PAGE>
4.14 SECTION. INVESTMENT COMPANY STATUS. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary
is an "investment 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.

4.15 SECTION. 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.

4.16 SECTION. HOSTILE TENDER OFFERS. None of the proceeds of any Notes will be
used to finance a Hostile Tender Offer.

4.17 SECTION. INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary

                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

         So long as any Note is outstanding and unpaid, the Borrower covenants
as follows:

5.01 SECTION. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Borrower will
deliver to Agent in duplicate:

         (1) as soon as practicable and in any event within 45 days after the
         end of each quarterly period (other than the last quarterly period) in
         each fiscal year (or, if earlier, such date as the Borrower is required
         to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC), consolidating
         and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders'
         equity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period from the
         beginning of the current fiscal year to the end of such quarterly
         period, and a consolidating and a consolidated balance sheet of the
         Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such quarterly period,
         setting forth in each case in comparative form figures for the
         corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable
         detail and certified by an authorized financial officer of the
         Borrower, subject to changes resulting from year-end adjustments;
         provided, however, that delivery pursuant to clause (iii) below of
         copies of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Borrower for such
         quarterly period filed with the SEC shall be deemed to satisfy the
         requirements of this clause (i) with respect to consolidated

                                                                         Page 32
<PAGE>

         financial statements so long as such statements contained in such
         Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP;

         (2) as soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days after the
         end of each fiscal year (or, if earlier, such date as the Borrower is
         required to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC),
         consolidating and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and
         shareholders' equity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such
         year, and a consolidating and consolidated balance sheet of the
         Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such year, setting forth
         in each case in comparative form corresponding consolidated figures
         from the preceding annual audit, all in reasonable detail and
         satisfactory in form to the Majority Bank(s) and, as to the
         consolidated statements, reported on by independent public accountants
         of recognized national standing selected by the Borrower whose report
         shall be without limitation as to scope of the audit and satisfactory
         in substance to the Majority Bank(s) and, as to the consolidating
         statements, certified by an authorized financial officer of the
         Borrower; provided, however, that delivery pursuant to clause (iii)
         below of copies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Borrower for
         such fiscal year filed with the SEC shall be deemed to satisfy the
         requirements of this clause (ii) with respect to consolidated financial
         statements so long as such statements contained in such Annual Report
         on Form 10-K are prepared in accordance with GAAP;

         (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;

         (5) no later than January 31 of each year, a copy of the annual
         operating budget of Borrower and its Subsidiaries; and

         (6) with reasonable promptness, such other information respecting the
         condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower or any
         of its Subsidiaries as such holder may reasonably 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

                                                                         Page 33
<PAGE>

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.

5.02 SECTION. INSPECTION OF PROPERTY. The Borrower will permit any Person
designated by any Bank in writing, at such Bank's expense if no Default or Event
of Default exists and at the Borrower's expense if a Default or Event of Default
does exist, to visit and inspect any of the properties of 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 affairs, finances and accounts of any of such corporations with
the principal officers of the Borrower and its independent public accountants,
all at such reasonable times and as often as Banks may reasonably request.

5.03 SECTION. 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 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.

5.04 SECTION. 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.

5.05 SECTION. 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 the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

                                                                         Page 34
<PAGE>

5.06 SECTION. MAINTENANCE OF EXISTENCE. The Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, material
rights, licenses, permits and franchises; provided that nothing in this Section
5.06 shall prevent the abandonment or termination of the existence of any
Subsidiary, or the rights or franchises of any Subsidiary or the Borrower if
such abandonment or termination would not have a material adverse effect upon
the business, condition (financial or otherwise) operations or prospects of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

5.07 SECTION. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. The Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain and preserve all property used or
useful in its business in good working order and condition, and from time to
time make, or cause to be made, all needful and proper repairs, renewals and
replacements thereto, so that the business carried on in connection therewith
may be properly conducted at all times, except to the extent that the failure to
do so would not have a material adverse effect upon the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations or prospects of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

5.08 SECTION. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, pay and discharge promptly all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or
in respect of its property, prior to the time penalties would attach thereto, as
well as lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise which, if
unpaid, might become a Lien or charge upon such properties or any part thereof;
provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall be
required to pay and discharge or to cause to be paid and discharged any such
tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof
shall be subject to an active challenge or contest initiated in good faith for
which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

5.09 SECTION. PARITY WITH OTHER INDEBTEDNESS. The Borrower will, and will cause
its Subsidiaries to, execute all such documents and take all such actions as the
Majority Banks may reasonably request in order to assure that at all times (i)
the Notes shall rank in right of payment senior to or pari passu with all other
Indebtedness of the Borrower and (ii) each Guarantor's guaranty obligations
under the Guaranty Agreement in respect of the Notes shall rank in right of
payment senior to or pari passu with all other Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
Guarantor.

5.10 SECTION. ERISA. The Borrower covenants that it and each of its
Subsidiaries will deliver to Agent promptly and in any event within 10 days
after it knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any event of the type
specified in clause (14) of Section 7.02 notice of such event and the likely
impact on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. In the event it or any Subsidiary
have participated, now participates or will participate in any Plan or
Multiemployer Plan, the Borrower covenants that it and any such Subsidiary will
deliver to Agent: (i) promptly and in any event within 10 days after it knows or
has reason to know of the occurrence of a Reportable Event with respect to a
Plan, a copy of any materials required to be filed with the PBGC with respect to
such Reportable Event, together with a statement of the chief financial officer
of the Borrower setting forth details as to such Reportable Event and the action
which the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto; (ii) at least 10 days
prior to the filing by any plan

                                                                         Page 35
<PAGE>

administrator of a Plan of a notice of intent to terminate such Plan, a copy of
such notice; (iii) promptly upon the reasonable request of Agent, and in no
event more than 10 days after such request, copies of each annual report on Form
5500 that is filed with the Internal Revenue Service, together with certified
financial statements for the Plan (if any) as of the end of such year and
actuarial statements on Schedule B to such Form 5500; (iv) promptly and in any
event within 10 days after it knows or has reason to know of any event or
condition which might constitute grounds under section 4042 of ERISA for the
termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Plan, a
statement of the chief financial officer of the Borrower describing such event
or condition; (v) promptly and in no event more than 10 days after its or any
ERISA Affiliate's receipt thereof, the notice concerning the imposition of any
withdrawal liability under section 4202 of ERISA; and (vi) promptly after
receipt thereof, a copy of any notice the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate may
receive from the PBGC or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any Plan
or Multiemployer Plan; provided, however, that this Section 5.10 shall not apply
to notices of general application promulgated by the PBGC or the Internal
Revenue Service.

5.11 SECTION. ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS.

         (1) The Borrower will maintain an environmental management system that
         is designed (A) to monitor the Borrower's and its Subsidiaries'
         compliance with Environmental and Safety Laws, and (B) to minimize the
         Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' exposure to liabilities under
         Environmental and Safety Laws, including, but not limited to, the
         Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' exposure to liabilities under
         contracts or agreements with its customers or partners. In addition,
         the environmental management system shall ensure that the Borrower's
         and its Subsidiaries' potential exposures to liabilities under
         Environmental and Safety Laws are adequately insured against pursuant
         to Section 5.05.

         (2) The Borrower will immediately notify Agent of and provide Agent
         with copies of any notifications of violations or notifications of
         discharges or releases or threatened releases or discharges of a

                  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.

7.02 SECTION . 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

                                                                         Page 47
<PAGE>
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.

                                AGENCY PROVISIONS

8.01 SECTION. 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.

8.02 SECTION. 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.

                                                                         Page 48
<PAGE>
8.03 SECTION. 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.

8.04 SECTION. 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.

8.05 SECTION. 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.

8.06 SECTION. 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

                                                                         Page 49
<PAGE>
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 VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

8.07 SECTION. 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.

or duties of the Agent under any of the Loan Documents.

<PAGE>
                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

         THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT ("Guaranty") is made and delivered the 20th day
of September, 2002, by the undersigned, JEVIC TRANSPORTATION, INC., a New Jersey
corporation (the "Guarantor"), to BANK OF OKLAHOMA, N.A., U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, BANK ONE, NA, and HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK (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. The Banks have agreed to make a loan to SCS TRANSPORTATION, INC.
(the "Borrower"), in the principal amount of $50,000,000.00 (the "Loan")
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agented Revolving Credit Agreement
dated September 20, 2002, between Borrower and the Banks ("Credit Agreement").
Borrower's obligation to repay the Loan is evidenced by Borrower's promissory
notes of even date payable to the order of the Banks in the aggregate amount of
$50,000,000.00 (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 or otherwise deal with
Borrower unless they receive an unconditional and continuing guaranty 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 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
<PAGE>
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

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
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. ss. 334, 337, 338 and 344, and Title 12 Okla. Stat. ss. 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

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
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.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
         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

<PAGE>
                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

         THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT ("Guaranty") is made and delivered the 20th day
of September, 2002, by the undersigned, SAIA MOTOR FREIGHT LINE, INC., a
Louisiana corporation (the "Guarantor"), to BANK OF OKLAHOMA, N.A., U.S. BANK
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, BANK ONE, NA, and HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK
(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. The Banks have agreed to make a loan to SCS TRANSPORTATION, INC.
(the "Borrower"), in the principal amount of $50,000,000.00 (the "Loan")
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agented Revolving Credit Agreement
dated September 20, 2002, between Borrower and the Banks ("Credit Agreement").
Borrower's obligation to repay the Loan is evidenced by Borrower's promissory
notes of even date payable to the order of the Banks in the aggregate amount of
$50,000,000.00 (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 or otherwise deal with
Borrower unless they receive an unconditional and continuing guaranty 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 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
<PAGE>
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

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
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. ss. 334, 337, 338 and 344, and Title 12 Okla. Stat. ss. 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

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
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.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
         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 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

         transactions (collectively, the "LOAN") described in the Agreement, and
         the obligations of each such party (other than the Company, Saia and
         Jevic) set forth in the Agreement and in such instruments, documents
         and agreements are its legal, valid and binding obligations,
         enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective
         terms;

                  b. Each person executing the Agreement, other than on behalf
         of the Company, Saia and Jevic, whether individually or on behalf of an
         entity, is duly authorized to do so;

                  c. Each natural person executing any of the Agreement, Notes
         and Guaranties is legally competent to do so;

                  d. All signatures on the Agreement, Notes and Guaranties will
         be genuine;

                  e. The Agreement, Notes, Guaranties and all documents
         submitted to us as originals are authentic;

                  f. The Agreement, Notes, Guaranties and all documents
         submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the
         original document and all public records reviewed are accurate and
         complete;

                  g. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by
         the Agent and Banks:

                           (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary
                  corporate or other appropriate action on the part of the Agent
                  and Banks; and

                           (ii) do not contravene or conflict with any term or
                  provision of the articles of incorporation, by-laws or other
                  governing documents of the Agent and Banks;

                  h. The terms and conditions of the Loan as reflected in the
         Agreement, Notes and Guaranties have not been amended, modified or
         supplemented, directly or indirectly,

         and Guaranties;

                  i. The Agent and Banks and their successors and assigns will:
         (i) act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in the
         exercise of any rights or enforcement of any remedies under the
         Agreement, Notes and Guaranties; (ii) not engage in any conduct in the
         exercise of such rights or enforcement of such remedies that would
         constitute anything other than fair dealing; and (iii) comply with all
         requirements of applicable procedural and substantive law in exercising
         any rights or enforcing any remedies under the Agreement, Notes and
         Guaranties;

                  j. There has not been any mutual mistake of fact or
         misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence; and

                  k. The Guaranties have been duly issued for value.

                  Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

                  1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
         existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

                  2. The Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by
         all requisite corporate action and duly executed and delivered by
         authorized officers of the Company. If Missouri law were to apply to
         the Agreement and the Notes, the Agreement and the Notes would be valid
         obligations of the Company, legally binding upon and enforceable
         against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

                  3. Based solely upon the Certificate of Good Standing issued
         by the Office of the Louisiana Secretary of State and dated as of
         September 10, 2002 ("SAIA CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING"), Saia is a
         corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under
         the laws of the State of Louisiana.

                  4. The execution of the Saia Guaranty has been duly authorized
         by all requisite corporate action and duly executed and delivered by
         authorized officers of Saia. If Missouri law were to apply to the Saia
         Guaranty, the Saia Guaranty would be the legally valid, binding and
         enforceable obligation of Saia in accordance with its terms.

                  5. Based solely upon the Certificate of Good Standing issued
         by the Office of the New Jersey Secretary of State and dated September
         __, 2002 ("JEVIC CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING"), Jevic is a corporation
         duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of
         the State of New Jersey.

                  6. The execution of the Jevic Guaranty has been duly
         authorized by all requisite corporate action and duly executed and
         delivered by authorized officers of Jevic. If Missouri law were to
         apply to the Jevic Guaranty, the Jevic Guaranty would be the legally
         valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Jevic in accordance with
         its terms.

                  7. The extension, arranging and obtaining of the credit
         represented by the Notes does not result in any violation of
         Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
         System. In providing the opinion in the immediately preceding sentence,
         we have relied on factual matters set forth in the Officer's
         Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A.

                  8. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement
         and Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations
         thereunder do not violate or result in a breach or default under any
         existing obligation of the Company under any agreement listed as a
         material contract under Exhibit 10 of the Form 10 filed by the Company
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 19, 2002 (as
         amended on September 6, 2002), or any agreement listed on Schedule ____
         to the Agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the
         Company is bound or to which any of the material properties or assets
         of the Company is subject, nor does such action result in any violation
         by the Company of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or
         By-Laws of the Company, any provision of applicable law, or any order,
         writ, judgment or decree known to us of any court or governmental
         agency or body that names the Company or is specifically directed to
         the Company or any of its material properties or assets.

                  9. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, and
         no notice to or filing with, any governmental agency or regulatory body
         is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the
         Company of its obligations under the Agreement and Notes.

                  10. A court sitting in the State of Missouri will look to the
         conflict of law rules of the State of Missouri to determine which law
         governs. Under Missouri law the parties to a contract may agree that
         the contract will be governed by the law of a particular state so long
         as some element of the contract is properly referable to that state.
         Courts applying Missouri law have not enforced agreements that the law
         of a certain state shall govern where the agreement is made to evade
         otherwise applicable law or where the agreement infringes upon a
         fundamental policy of the State of Missouri. In our opinion, a state or
         federal court in the State of Missouri applying Missouri law (a) should
         not find that the selection of Oklahoma law as the governing law under
         the Agreement, Notes and Guaranties constitutes an infringement of a
         fundamental policy of the State of Missouri, unless it is determined
         that such selection is, in fact, made to evade otherwise applicable law
         of the State of Missouri and therefore (b) should give effect to the
         provisions in the Agreement, Notes and Guaranties which select the laws
         of the State of Oklahoma as the governing law thereof. Provided,
         however, with respect to the creation, perfection, priority and
         enforcement of any judgment liens, the laws of Missouri will apply with
         respect to assets located within Missouri.

                  In addition to the assumptions set forth above, the opinions
set forth above are also subject to the following qualifications:

                  A. Enforceability of the Agreement, the Notes and the
         Guaranties, each are subject to:

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (1) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights
         and remedies of creditors generally, including:

                           (a)      the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978,
                                    as amended, and thus comprehends, among
                                    others, matters of turn-over, automatic
                                    stay, avoiding powers, fraudulent transfer,
                                    preference, discharge, conversion of a
                                    non-recourse obligation into a recourse
                                    claim and limitations on ipso facto and
                                    anti-assignment clauses;

                           (b)      all other federal and state bankruptcy,
                                    insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
                                    moratorium, arrangement and assignment for
                                    the benefit of creditors laws that affect
                                    the rights and remedies of creditors
                                    generally;

                           (c)      state fraudulent transfer and conveyance
                                    laws; and

                           (d)      judicially developed doctrines relevant to
                                    any of the foregoing laws, such as
                                    substantive consolidation of entities;

                  (2) the effect of general principles of equity, whether
         applied by a court of law or equity, including principles:

                           (a)      governing the availability of specific
                                    performance, injunctive relief or other
                                    equitable remedies, which generally place
                                    the award of such remedies, subject to
                                    certain guidelines, in the discretion of the
                                    court to which application for such relief
                                    is made;

                           (b)      affording equitable defenses (e.g., waiver,
                                    laches and estoppel) against a party seeking
                                    enforcement;

                           (c)      requiring good faith and fair dealing in the
                                    performance and enforcement of a contract by
                                    the party seeking its enforcement;

                           (d)      requiring reasonableness in the performance
                                    and enforcement of an agreement by the party
                                    seeking enforcement of the contract;

                           (e)      requiring consideration of the materiality
                                    of a breach and the consequences of the
                                    breach to the party seeking enforcement;

                           (f)      requiring consideration of the
                                    impracticability or impossibility of
                                    performance at the time of attempted
                                    enforcement; and

                           (g)      affording defenses based upon the
                                    unconscionability of the enforcing party's
                                    conduct after the parties have entered into
                                    the contract.

                  (3) the effect of generally applicable rules of law that:

                                       5

                                    provisions ,of a contract that purport to
                                    require waiver of the obligations of good
                                    faith, fair dealing, diligence and
                                    reasonableness;

                           (b)      provide that forum selection clauses in
                                    contracts are not necessarily binding on the
                                    court(s) in the forum selected;

                           (c)      limit the availability of a remedy under
                                    certain circumstances where another remedy
                                    has been elected;

                           (d)      limit the right of a creditor to use force
                                    or cause a breach of the peace in enforcing
                                    rights;

                           (e)      limit the enforceability of provisions
                                    releasing, exculpating or exempting a party
                                    from, or requiring indemnification of a
                                    party for, liability for its own action or
                                    inaction, to the extent public policy limits
                                    the enforceability of such indemnification
                                    or the action or inaction involves gross
                                    negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct
                                    or unlawful conduct;

                           (f)      may, where less than all of a contract may
                                    be unenforceable, limit the enforceability
                                    of the balance of the contract to
                                    circumstances in which the unenforceable
                                    portion is not an essential part of the
                                    agreed exchange;

                           (g)      govern and afford judicial discretion
                                    regarding the determination of damages and
                                    entitlement to attorneys' fees and other
                                    costs; and

                           (h)      may permit a party who has materially failed
                                    to render or offer performance required by
                                    the contract to cure that failure unless (A)
                                    permitting a cure would unreasonably hinder
                                    the aggrieved party from making substitute
                                    arrangements for performance, or (B) it was
                                    important in the circumstances to the
                                    aggrieved party that performance occur by
                                    the date stated in the contract.

                  B. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this opinion,
         we are expressing no opinion as to the validity or accuracy of any
         warranty or representation made in connection with any of the
         Agreement, Notes or Guaranties.

                  C. For purposes of the opinions expressed herein, "applicable
         law" shall mean all applicable constitutional, legislative, judicial
         and administrative provisions, statutes, regulations, decisions,
         rulings and other laws, whether federal, state or local.

                  We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any clause
requiring additional payments upon, or otherwise limiting, prepayment or
termination to the extent construed as a penalty.
