transfer or assignment, or otherwise) likewise covenant and agree, that the
payment of any and all of the Subordinated Debt shall be subordinate and subject

      2.2.       
Proceedings.

Debt shall be made (other than a distribution of Reorganization Subordinated
Securities which the Subordinated Creditors are hereby specifically authorized

right to vote, file a proof of claim, and otherwise act with respect to the

or action in such Proceeding challenging the enforceability of the Senior Debt,
this Agreement, or any Liens securing the Senior Debt.  In the event
any Subordinated Creditor fails to execute, verify, deliver, and/or file any
proofs of claim in respect of its Subordinated Debt in connection with any such
Proceeding prior to 10 business days before the expiration of the time to
file any such proof of claim, each such Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably
authorizes, empowers, and appoints the Senior Creditor Representative as such
Subordinated Creditor’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, verify, deliver,
and file such proofs of claim and vote such claim in any Proceeding to the
extent permitted by applicable law; provided the Senior Creditor
Representative shall have no obligation to exercise such right or to exercise
any such authority with respect to the claims of any Subordinated Creditor and,
if the Senior Creditor Representative elects to exercise such authority, the
Senior Creditor Representative shall give the Subordinated Creditor
Representative at least one business day’s notice of its intention to do
so.  The Senior Creditor Representative may exercise any such right or
exercise any such authority in a manner consistent with the sole interest of the
Senior Creditors and shall have no duty to take any action to maximize any
Subordinated Creditor’s recovery with respect to its claims on the Subordinated
Debt owing to it.  

       

      (c)     
Reinstatement.  The
Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of
this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of
the Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditors even if all or part of the
Senior Debt or the Liens securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside,
avoided, or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding.  This
Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior
Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or
any representative of such holder.

consecutive days; and (y) no Senior Covenant Default existing on the date
any Senior Covenant Default Notice is given pursuant to clause (ii) of this
Section 2.3(a) (and with respect to which the Senior Creditor
Representative had at that time actual knowledge) shall be used, unless the same
shall have ceased to exist (whether by the waiver or cure thereof) for a period
of at least 60 consecutive days, as a basis for any subsequent Senior
Covenant Default Notice, provided that if, on the date
that any Senior Covenant Default Notice is issued, the Borrower is in default of
one or more of the financial covenants set forth in the Senior Debt Documents,
the Senior Creditor Representative shall be permitted, subject to the other
terms and conditions hereof, to use a subsequent default of the same financial
covenant(s) (i.e., a
default occurring during a subsequent measurement period) as the basis for the
issuance of a subsequent Senior Covenant Default Notice.

       

      (b)   Non-Applicability to
Proceeding.  The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall not
apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2.2 would be
applicable.

      
        
           

        

        
          -9-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      2.4.        Payments Otherwise Permitted.
The failure of any Loan Party to make any payment with respect to the
Subordinated Debt by reason of the operation of Section 2.3 shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of a Subordinated Default under the
applicable Subordinated Debt Documents.  Nothing contained in this
Section 2 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Subordinated Debt
Documents shall prevent any Loan Party at any time, except during the pendency
of any Proceeding referred to in Section 2.2 or under the conditions
referred to in Section 2.3, from making payments, or prevent the
Subordinated Creditors from receiving payments, at any time on account of
Subordinated Debt accrued to and payable on the date of such payment; provided that such payment
constitutes any of the following:

       

      (a)  upfront commitment fee
not to exceed $487,500 due under Section 3.3 of the Subordinated Credit
Agreement as in effect on the date hereof;

       

      (b)  unused fees accrued to
and payable on the date of any such payment at the rate due under
Section 3.1 of the Subordinated Credit Agreement as in effect on the date
hereof;

       

      (c)  interest (including
default interest) on the Subordinated Promissory Notes accrued to and payable on
the date of any such payment at the rate of interest thereon as provided in the
relevant Subordinated Debt Documents;

       

      (d)  mandatory principal
prepayments to the extent permitted by, and subject to the terms and conditions
of, Section 2.6 below;

       

      (e)  voluntary principal
prepayments to the extent permitted by, and subject to the terms and conditions
of, Section 2.6 below; or

       

      (f)   the payment of Permitted
Expense Payments; or

       

      (g)  the reimbursement of an
indemnity obligation of the Loan Parties to one or more of the Subordinated
Creditors pursuant to an indemnification provision of the Subordinated Debt
Documents, in each case so long as no Senior Default then exists or would arise
after giving effect to the payment thereof;

       

      in each
case, without giving effect to any provisions of the Subordinated Debt
Documents, including any provisions permitting voluntary prepayment or requiring
mandatory prepayment or redemption, which would have the effect of increasing
the amount, or frequency, of any such payment.

       

      2.5.      
Restriction on Action by
Subordinated Creditors.  Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full,
the Subordinated Creditors shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Senior Creditor Representative, take any Collection Action with respect to the
Subordinated Debt, except as expressly permitted in the following sentence or
Section 2.2 or Section 3.2 hereof.  Upon the earliest to
occur of:

       

      (a)  the passage of
180  days from the date the Senior
Creditor Representative shall have received in accordance with Section 9
hereof a Subordinated Default Notice from the Subordinated Creditor
Representative and of its or any Subordinated Creditor’s intention to take any
Collection Action with respect to any Subordinated Default described therein if
such Subordinated Default shall not have been cured or waived within such period
(herein, the “Standstill
Period”);

      
        
           

        

        
          -10-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (b)  acceleration of the
Senior Debt;

       

      (c)  the occurrence of any
Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party or its assets; or

       

      (d)  September 17, 2015
(or such later date to which the Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the
Subordinated Credit Agreement) is extended in writing by the Borrower and the
Subordinated Creditors with written notice thereof to the Senior Creditor
Representative); 

       

      the
Subordinated Creditors may, upon not less than 5 business days prior
written notice to the Senior Creditor Representative, accelerate the
Subordinated Debt or require the mandatory prepayment thereof or take any other
Collection Action (other than exercising any rights or remedies with respect to
any Collateral, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 3 hereof and the other terms of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, Section 3.2 hereof); provided, however, that if
following the acceleration of the Senior Debt as described in clause (b)
above such acceleration is rescinded, then all Collection Actions taken by the
Subordinated Creditors shall likewise be rescinded if such Collection Action is
based solely on clause (b) above.  Such 5 business day
notice may be given during the Standstill Period described in clause (a)
above, provided that the Subordinated Creditors shall not be entitled to take
any such actions until the expiration of such Standstill Period with respect to
actions initiated pursuant to clause (a) above.  All Collection Actions
taken by the Subordinated Creditors shall at all times be and remain subject to
the terms of this Agreement and any and all payments and collections received by
the Subordinated Creditors in respect of the Subordinated Debt pursuant to any
Collection Action shall be paid over to the Senior Creditor Representative for
application to the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt (whether or not then due)
in such order and manner as set forth in the Bank Credit Agreement or as the
Senior Creditors shall otherwise determine until all Senior Debt is Paid in
Full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3
hereof), the Subordinated Creditors may vote, file proofs of claim, and
otherwise act with respect to the Subordinated Debt in any Proceeding involving
any Loan Party or its assets to the extent permitted by Section 2.2
hereof.

       

      2.6.       
Restrictions on Prepayments.
Except as expressly permitted below, under no circumstances shall any
Loan Party be entitled to make, or the Subordinated Creditors be entitled to
demand, take, receive, or retain, any voluntary or mandatory prepayments or
distributions or any voluntary or mandatory repurchase or redemption of any
Subordinated Debt prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt. The Borrower
is permitted to pay, and the Subordinated Creditors are entitled to receive and
retain, voluntarily and mandatory prepayments of Subordinated Debt made under
Section 2.6 of the Subordinated Credit Agreement so long as no Senior
Default then exists under the Senior Debt Documents or would arise after giving
effect to such prepayment (including, without limitation, compliance with all
covenants set forth in Sections  8.7, 8.8, 8.10 of the Bank Credit
Agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such payment) and, in the
case of any mandatory prepayment required under Section 2.6(b) of the
Subordinated Credit Agreement, after first giving effect to any mandatory
prepayment then required under the Bank Credit Agreement.  Payments
received by the Subordinated Creditors after acceleration of the Subordinated
Debt or the commencement of a Collection Action otherwise permitted by this
Agreement shall not constitute a prohibited prepayment under this
Section 2.6, provided that any and all
such payments and collections received shall be subject to being paid over to
the Senior Creditor Representative for application to the payment of all Senior
Debt in such order and manner as set forth in the Bank Credit Agreement or as
the Senior Creditors shall otherwise determine until Paid in Full.

      
        
           

        

        
          -11-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      2.7.      
Amendment of Subordinated Debt
Documents. Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, and notwithstanding
anything contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents to the contrary, the
Subordinated Creditors shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Senior Creditor Representative and the Senior Lenders constituting the Required
Lenders under the Bank Credit Agreement, agree to any amendment, modification or
supplement to the Subordinated Debt Documents the effect of which is
to  (i) increase the maximum principal amount of the Subordinated
Debt in excess of $75,000,000 or increase the rate of interest (other than
increases as a result of changes to index rates of interest) on, or any fees or
premium payable on, any of the Subordinated Debt (except nothing herein shall
prevent the Subordinated Creditors from accruing interest at a default rate of
interest to the extent contained in and permitted by the Subordinated Debt
Documents as in effect on the date hereof), (ii) change any date upon which
any payments of principal or interest or fees on the Subordinated Debt are due
to an earlier date, (iii) add or make more restrictive any event of default
or any covenant with respect to any Subordinated Debt, (iv) change any
redemption or prepayment provisions of any Subordinated Debt to an earlier date
or add any additional events requiring such redemption or prepayment,
(v) alter the subordination provisions with respect to any Subordinated
Debt, including, without limitation, subordinating the Subordinated Debt to any
other debt, (vi) take or obtain
any Liens securing the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or obtain any
guaranties for the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof, other than Liens on
the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Subordinated Creditor
Representative on behalf of the Subordinated Creditors under the Subordinated
Debt Documents so long as the Collateral subject to such Liens also secures the
Senior Debt in accordance with Section 3.5 below and any Subordinated
Creditor’s Lien thereon is junior and subordinated to Liens in favor of the
Senior Creditors and guarantees issued by such Guarantors so long as such
Guarantors also guarantee the payment of the Senior Debt and the rights and
claims of the Subordinated Creditors against such Guarantors are junior and
subordinate to the rights and claims of the Senior Creditors against such
Guarantors as Loan Parties hereunder, in each case subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement; or (vii) change or amend any other term of
the Subordinated Debt Documents if such change or amendment would result in a
Senior Default. 

       

      2.8.      
Incorrect Payments. If
any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt not permitted to
be made by any Loan Party or received by Subordinated Creditors under this
Agreement is received by Subordinated Creditors before all Senior Debt is Paid
in Full, such payment or distribution shall not be commingled with any asset of
the Subordinated Creditors, shall be held in trust by the Subordinated Creditors
for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Debt, and shall be promptly paid
over to the Senior Creditor Representative for application (in accordance with
the Senior Debt Documents) to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining
unpaid in such order and manner as set forth in the Bank Credit Agreement or as
the Senior Creditors shall otherwise determine until all of the Senior Debt is
Paid in Full.

      
        
           

        

        
          -12-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      2.9.       
Sale Transfer,
etc.  The Subordinated Creditors shall not sell, assign,
pledge, dispose of, or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated
Debt or any Subordinated Debt Document (a) without giving prior written
notice of such action to the Senior Creditor Representative, and
(b) unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee
thereof shall execute and deliver to the Senior Creditor Representative an
agreement providing for the continued subordination of the Subordinated Debt to
the Senior Debt as provided herein, for the continued subordination of any Liens
on the Collateral (or any interest therein) securing the Subordinated Debt to
the Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt, and for the continued
effectiveness of all of the rights of the Senior Creditors and holders of the
Senior Debt arising under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the failure
to execute or deliver any such agreement, the subordination effected hereby
shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge, disposition, or other transfer of
all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, and the terms of this Agreement
shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Subordinated
Creditors.

       

      2.10.     
Legends.  Until the
Senior Debt is Paid in Full, the Subordinated Promissory Notes and any other
Subordinated Debt Document at all times shall contain in a conspicuous manner
the following legend:

       

      This
instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby are subordinate in
the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”)
dated as of September 17, 2010, among  Wells Fargo Preferred
Capital, Inc., as agent for the Subordinated Creditors referred to therein, Bank
of Montreal, as agent for the Senior Creditors referred to therein, and World
Acceptance Corporation, to the Senior Debt described in the Subordination
Agreement, and each holder of this instrument, by its acceptance hereof, shall
be bound by the provisions of the Subordination Agreement.

       

      2.11.     
Modifications to Senior Debt.
The Senior Creditors may at any time and from time to time without the
consent of or notice to the Subordinated Creditors, without incurring liability
to the Subordinated Creditors and without impairing or releasing the obligations
of the Subordinated Creditors under this Agreement, change the manner or place
of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any of the terms
of the Senior Debt, or amend in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or
other instrument evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or otherwise relating to
the Senior Debt (provided it being understood that nothing herein shall be
deemed a waiver or consent by the Subordinated Creditors to any Loan Party under
any Subordinated Debt Document with respect to any of the foregoing); provided that, without the
written consent of the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Subordinated Debt then
outstanding, the Senior Creditors will not (a) increase the pre-default
interest rates applied to the unpaid principal balance of Senior Debt from time
to time outstanding by more than 2.0% per annum above the interest rate formulas
currently provided for in the Bank Credit Agreement (except to the extent the
Subordinated Creditors are permitted to increase their pre-default interest
rates by a like amount), and the post-default interest rates applied to the
unpaid principal balance of Senior Debt from time to time outstanding shall not
be increased above the interest rate formulas currently provided for in the Bank
Credit Agreement, (b) increase the maximum principal amount that can be
borrowed under the Senior Debt Documents above the Senior Debt Limit, or
(c) amend or modify the Senior Debt Documents so as to expressly restrict
the payment of Subordinated Debt otherwise permitted to be paid hereunder in a
manner that is more restrictive than the restrictions currently provided for
herein or in the Bank Credit Agreement as in effect on the date
hereof.

      
        
           

        

        
          -13-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      2.12.       
Default
Notices.  The Borrower shall provide the Senior Creditor
Representative and the Senior Creditors with written notice promptly after the
occurrence of any Subordinated Default, and shall notify the Senior Creditor
Representative and the Senior Creditors in the event such Subordinated Default
is cured or waived.  The Borrower shall provide the Subordinated
Creditor Representative and the Subordinated Creditors with written notice
promptly after the occurrence of any Senior Default, and shall notify the
Subordinated Creditor Representative and the Subordinated Creditors in the event
such Senior Default is cured or waived.

       

      2.13.        Defined Rights of Creditors;
Borrower Obligations Unconditional.  The provisions of this
Section 2 are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of
Subordinated Creditors and the holders of the Subordinated Debt, and the rights
of the Senior Creditors and holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be deemed to
create any rights or priorities in favor of any other Person, including, without
limitation, the Loan Parties.  As between the Loan Parties and the
Subordinated Creditors, nothing contained herein shall impair the unconditional
and absolute obligation of the Loan Parties to the Subordinated Creditors to pay
the Subordinated Debt as such Subordinated Debt shall become due and payable in
accordance with the Subordinated Debt Documents.  The failure of any
Loan Party to make any payment due to a Subordinated Creditor as a result of the
operation of this Agreement shall not prevent the occurrence of a Subordinated
Default as a result of such failure.

       

      2.14.       
Subrogation. After the
Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, and prior to repayment in full of the
Subordinated Debt, the Subordinated Creditors shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Senior Creditors to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to
the Subordinated Creditors have been applied to the Senior Debt in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement.  For purposes
of each subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior
Debt of any cash, property, or securities to which the Subordinated Creditors
would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement, and no payments
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to the holders of the Senior Debt
by the Subordinated Creditors, shall, as among any Loan Party, its creditors
(other than the Senior Creditors), any guarantors of the Senior Debt or the
Subordinated Debt, and the Subordinated Creditors be deemed to be a payment or
distribution by such Loan Party or such guarantor to or on account of the Senior
Debt.  The Senior Creditors shall have no obligation or duty to
protect the Subordinated Creditors’ rights of subrogation arising pursuant to
this Agreement or under any applicable law, nor shall the Senior Creditors be
liable for any loss to, or impairment of, any subrogation rights held by the
Subordinated Creditors.

      
        
           

        

        
          -14-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      
        Section
3.    Lien
Subordination.

      

       

      3.1.    
Lien
Subordination.  All Liens with respect to any Collateral in
favor of the Subordinated Creditors or otherwise in favor of the holders of the
Subordinated Debt and securing any Subordinated Debt, whether now or hereafter
existing, including without limitation judgment Liens, shall be subject,
subordinate and junior in all respects and at all times to the Liens with
respect to such Collateral in favor of the Senior Creditors or otherwise in
favor of the holders of the Senior Debt and securing the Senior Debt, whether
now or hereafter existing.  The foregoing allocation of priorities
shall govern the relationship of the parties with respect to the Collateral
irrespective of the time or order of attachment or perfection of any of such
Liens, the time or order of filing of financing statements, the acquisition of
purchase money or other Liens, the time of giving or failure to give notice of
the acquisition or expected acquisition of purchase money or other Liens, the
rules for determining priority under the UCC or any other law or rule governing
relative priorities of secured creditors, the fact that any such Liens in favor
of the Senior Creditors or otherwise in favor of the holders of the Senior Debt
with respect to any Collateral are (i) subordinated to any Lien securing any
obligation of any Loan Party or (ii) otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided,
invalidated or lapsed, or any other circumstances whatsoever.  For the
purposes of the foregoing allocation of priorities, any claim of a right of
set-off shall be treated in all respects as a security interest, and no claimed
right of set-off shall be asserted by the Subordinated Creditors or any holder
of Subordinated Debt to defeat or diminish the rights or priorities of the Lien
of the Senior Creditors or of any holder of the Senior Debt provided for
herein.

       

      3.2.     
No Adverse Actions by
Subordinated Creditors; Acknowledgment of Senior Debt
Actions.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders
of the Subordinated Debt, agree that until the Senior Debt is Paid in
Full:

       

      (a)  they will not take or
cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien
in respect of any Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt pari passu with or senior to,
or to give the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of Subordinated Debt any
preference or priority relative to, the Liens securing Senior Debt in favor of
the Senior Creditors and the holders of the Senior Debt with respect to such
Collateral;

       

      (b)  they will not oppose,
object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial
proceedings (including without limitation the filing of a Proceeding) or
otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition
of any Collateral by the Senior Creditors or any holder of Senior Debt or any
other enforcement action taken by or on behalf of the Senior Creditors or any
holder of Senior Debt with respect to such Collateral so long as in each
instance the Senior Creditors and any holder of Senior Debt comply with
applicable law;

      
        
           

        

        
          -15-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (c)  they have no right to (i)
direct the Senior Creditors or any holder of Senior Debt to exercise any right,
remedy or power with respect to any Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Debt
Documents or (ii) consent or object to the exercise by the Senior Creditors or
any holder of Senior Debt of any right, remedy or power with respect to any
Collateral (pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents or otherwise) or to the timing
or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the
extent it may have any such right described in this clause (c), whether as a
junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right) so
long as in each instance the Senior Creditors and any holder of Senior Debt
comply with applicable law;

       

      (d)  they will not institute
any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Proceeding or other
proceeding any claim against the Senior Creditors or any holder of Senior Debt
seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance,
instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and neither the Senior Creditors nor
any holder of Senior Debt shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be
taken by the Senior Creditors or any such holder of Senior Debt with respect to
the Collateral;

       

      (e)  in the course of
administering extensions of credit to the Borrower, or in exercising their
rights or remedies with respect to any Senior Debt, the Senior Creditors may
from time to time in their respective discretion release proceeds of receivables
or other Collateral to the Loan Parties, or otherwise deal with the Collateral
and any other property or assets of the Loan Parties, without in any event any
notice or accounting to the Subordinated Creditors whatsoever; and

       

      (f)  the Senior Creditors have
complete discretion in, and shall not be liable in any manner to the
Subordinated Creditors for, determining how, when, and in what manner the Senior
Creditors administer extensions of credit to the Borrower or any other Loan
Party or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to, or foreclose or
otherwise realize upon, any Collateral for any Senior Debt or any other property
or assets.

       

      Without
in any way limiting the foregoing, the Subordinated Creditors specifically
acknowledge and agree that, until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Senior Creditors may take such
action(s) as they deem appropriate to enforce the Senior Debt or any Collateral
or guaranties therefor, whether or not such action is beneficial to the interest
of the Subordinated Creditors. The Subordinated Creditors, and all who may claim
through or under them, hereby expressly waive and release any and all rights to
have the Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure, sale, or
other realization thereon by the Senior Creditors.  In order for the
Senior Creditors to enforce their rights in the Collateral or any guaranty for
the Senior Debt, there shall be no obligation on the part of the Senior
Creditors at any time to resort for payment of the Senior Debt to any obligor
thereon or guarantor thereof, or to any other Person, their properties or
estates, or to resort to any other rights or remedies whatsoever; and the Senior
Creditors shall have the right to foreclose or otherwise realize upon any
Collateral or to enforce any guaranty irrespective of whether or not other
proceedings or steps are pending seeking resort to or realization upon or from
any of the foregoing.

       

      3.3.       Collection Actions with respect to
Collateral by Subordinated Creditors.  The Subordinated
Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree that until
all Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, they will not take any Collection Action
with respect to any Collateral, except as expressly permitted
herein.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the
Subordinated Debt, agree that until the Senior Debt is Paid in
Full:

      
        
           

        

        
          -16-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (a)  they will not commence
judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a
trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt
any action to take possession of any Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or
power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its interest in
or realize upon, the Collateral; and

       

      (b)  they will not exercise
any other rights (other than the right to perfect the Liens in favor of the
Subordinated Creditors as contemplated under the Subordinated Debt Documents) or
remedies under the Subordinated Debt Documents with respect to any
Collateral;

       

      until
after the passage of the Standstill Period (as such term is defined in
Section 2.5(a) hereof); provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Subordinated Creditors
exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral if,
notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, the Senior Creditor
Representative or the Senior Creditors shall have commenced and be diligently
pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any
material portion of the Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given
by the Senior Creditor Representative (or the Senior Creditor Collateral Agent)
to the Subordinated Creditor Representative).  As provided for in
Sections 2.5 and 3.17 hereof, all payments and collections received by the
Subordinated Creditors in respect of the Subordinated Debt or the Collateral
pursuant to any Collection Action shall be paid over to the Senior Creditor
Representative for application to the Senior Debt (whether or not then due) in
such order and manner as set forth in the Bank Credit Agreement or as the Senior
Creditors shall otherwise determine (including cash collateralization of Hedging
Liability) until all Senior Debt is Paid in Full.  

       

      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement (including Sections 2.5, 3.2 and
3.8 hereof) shall prevent or impair the rights of the Subordinated Creditors to:
(i) enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement
relating to priority, (ii) file a claim or statement of interest with
respect to the Subordinated Debt in any Proceeding that has been commenced by or
against any Loan Party or otherwise defend against any action in a Proceeding to
avoid its Lien on the Collateral, (iii) file any necessary responsive or
defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or
other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the
disallowance of the claims of the Subordinated Creditors or of the holders of
the Subordinated Debt, including without limitation any claims secured by the
Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
(iv) file any proof of claim and other filings and make any arguments and
motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
with respect to the Subordinated Debt and the Collateral, (v) to the extent
not inconsistent with this Agreement, exercise any rights or remedies available
to unsecured creditors or file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements
which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Loan
Parties arising under the Subordinated Debt Documents, (vi) take any action
(not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the
Senior Debt, or the rights of any Senior Creditor to exercise any of its rights
or remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, and preserve their
Lien on the Collateral subject to the other terms of this Agreement, and
(vii) inspect or appraise the Collateral or receive information or reports
from any Loan Party concerning the Collateral, in each case pursuant to the
terms of the Subordinated Debt Documents and applicable law.

      3.4.  No Contesting Debt or
Liens.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of
the Subordinated Debt, agree that they shall not directly or indirectly take any
action to contest or challenge the validity, legality, enforceability,
perfection or priority of any of the Senior Debt, any of the Senior Debt
Documents, or any of the Liens of the Senior Creditors or of any holder of
Senior Debt on any of the Collateral securing the Senior Debt. The Senior
Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Senior Debt, agree that they shall
not directly or indirectly take any action to contest or challenge the validity,
legality, enforceability, perfection or priority of any of the Subordinated
Debt, any of the Subordinated Debt Documents, or any of the Liens of the
Subordinated Creditors or of any holder of Subordinated Debt on any of the
Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt.

       

      3.5.  Legend.  The
Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree
that if the Subordinated Creditor Representative is not then also a Senior
Creditor, upon the written request of the Senior Creditor Representative, all
Subordinated Debt Documents filed against the Collateral or any part thereof,
including any UCC financing statements, shall contain the following
notation:  “The
security interest and lien on the property referred to herein is junior and
subordinate to the security interest and lien on such property in favor of
Harris N.A., as Senior Creditor Collateral Agent, and/or Bank of Montreal, as
the Senior Creditor Representative, and their successors and assigns, pursuant
to the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 17,
2010, among, Wells Fargo Preferred Capital, Inc., as agent for the Subordinated
Creditors referred to therein, Harris N.A., as Senior Creditor Collateral Agent,
and Bank of Montreal, as Senior Creditor Representative, World Acceptance
Corporation and certain other related parties.”

       

      3.6.  No Liens for Subordinated Debt until
Grant Date; No other Liens for Subordinated Debt.  The
Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt,
acknowledge and agree that they shall not take or accept any Lien on the
Collateral or any part thereof until the Grant Date (as such term is defined in
the Subordinated Credit Agreement as in effect on the date
hereof).  The parties hereto agree that until all Senior Debt has been
Paid in Full, the Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the
Subordinated Debt, shall not, without the consent of the Senior Creditor
Representative, acquire or hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Loan
Party securing any Subordinated Debt which assets or property are not also
subject to the first priority Lien in favor of the Senior Creditors under the
Senior Debt Documents.  If the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of
Subordinated Debt shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any
Lien on any assets or property of any Loan Party securing any Subordinated Debt
which assets or property are not also subject to the first priority Lien in
favor of Senior Creditors under the Senior Debt Documents, then the Subordinated
Creditors shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Subordinated
Debt Document, if so requested by the Senior Creditor Representative, release
such Lien.

      
        
           

        

        
          -18-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      3.7.  Insurance.  Until
the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, the Senior Creditors have the sole and
exclusive right to prosecute and settle any insurance claim pertaining to the
Collateral in their sole discretion notwithstanding the fact that the
Subordinated Creditors or any holder of the Subordinated Debt may be named as
loss payee or additional insured on any insurance policies pertaining to such
Collateral.  In the event that any insurance company requires the
release or written confirmation as to the status of a Person’s rights to make,
prosecute, adjust, or settle any insurance claim and/or to receive any insurance
proceeds, the Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the
Subordinated Debt, agree to promptly provide the Senior Creditor Representative
with the appropriate documents reasonably requested by the relevant insurance
company.

       

      3.8.  Actions upon
Breach.  If the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of
Subordinated Debt, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any
Collection Action against any Loan Party or the Collateral, any Borrower, with
the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor Representative, may interpose
as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and the Senior
Creditor Representative may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its
name or in the name of such Borrower or any other Loan Party.  Should
the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of Subordinated Debt, contrary to this
Agreement, in any way take, or attempt to or threaten to take any action with
respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize
upon or enforce any remedy with respect to the Collateral), or fail to take any
action required by this Agreement, the Senior Creditor Representative (in its
own name or in the name of any Borrower or any other Loan Party) or either
Borrower may obtain relief against the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of
Subordinated Debt by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate
equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Subordinated Creditors,
on behalf of each holder of the Subordinated Debt, that (A) the damages to
the Senior Creditors, and the holders of the Senior Debt, from their actions may
at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (B)  the
Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of each holder of the Subordinated Debt,
waives any defense that any Loan Party and/or the Senior Creditors or any holder
of any Senior Debt cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the
awarding of damages.  Except as provided herein, if the Senior
Creditors or any holder of any Senior Debt or the Subordinated Creditors or any
holder of Subordinated Debt shall enforce their rights or remedies in violation
of the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to use such
violation as a defense to any action by the Senior Creditors or any holder of
any Senior Debt or the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of Subordinated
Debt, as the case may be, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or
basis for set-off or recoupment against the Senior Creditors or any holder of
any Senior Debt or the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of Subordinated
Debt.

       

      3.9.  Proceedings; Filing of
Motions.  Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, the
Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree
that they shall not, in or in connection with any Proceeding, file any pleadings
or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or
otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the
Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of
any Liens or claims held by the Senior Creditors (including the validity and
enforceability thereof) or any holder of any Senior Debt or the value of any
claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise;
provided that the
Subordinated Creditors may include in their claim filed in any such Proceeding a
claim for post-petition interest (as provided for the Subordinated Debt
Documents and permitted by applicable law) as part of the Subordinated Debt
(provided the Subordinated Creditors shall not seek the payment thereof, as
adequate protection or otherwise, until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full) or take
such actions set forth in Section 2.2(b), the last paragraph of
Section 3.2, seek adequate protection in accordance with Section 3.12,
or object to any sale or disposition of Collateral not in compliance with
Section 3.13.

      
        
           

        

        
          -19-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      3.10.     Proceedings; Financing
Matters.  Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, if any Loan
Party becomes subject to any Proceeding, and if the Senior Creditors or any
holder of Senior Debt desires to consent (or not object) to the use of cash
collateral on which the Senior Creditors or any other creditor has a Lien or to
provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or
not object) to the provision of such financing under the Bankruptcy Code to any
Loan Party by any third party (“DIP Financing”), then the
Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree
that they (a) will be deemed to have consented to, and will raise no
objection to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (b) will
not request or accept any form of adequate protection or any other relief in
connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as
set forth in Section 3.12 below, and (c) to the extent the Liens in favor
of the Senior Creditors are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing,
will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Liens
in favor of the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of the Subordinated Debt
(i) to such DIP Financing with the same terms and conditions as the Liens in
favor of the Senior Creditors are subordinated thereto (and such subordination
will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (ii) to any adequate
protection provided to the Senior Creditors and the holders of Senior Debt, and
(iii) to any “carve-out” for administrative, professional, and United States
Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Creditors or the holders of the Senior
Debt.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the
Subordinated Debt, waive any claim they may now or hereafter have arising out of
any Senior Creditor’s election, in any Proceeding, of the application of
Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any
other applicable debtor relief law.

       

      3.11.     Proceedings; Relief From the
Automatic Stay.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the
holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree that until the Senior Debt is Paid in
Full, they will not seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay
in any Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in
respect of any Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Senior
Creditor Representative.

      
        
           

        

        
          -20-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      3.12.     Proceedings; Adequate
Protection.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the
holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree that until the Senior Debt is Paid in
Full, they shall not object to, contest, or support any other Person objecting
to or contesting, (i) any request by the Senior Creditors or any holder of
Senior Debt for adequate protection, (ii) any objection by the Senior Creditors
or any holder of Senior Debt to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based
on a claim of a lack of adequate protection, or (iii) the payment of interest,
fees, expenses or other amounts to the Senior Creditors or any holder of Senior
Debt under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section and in
Section 3.10 hereof, in any Proceeding, (x) the Subordinated Creditors may
seek, support, accept or retain adequate protection (A) only if the Senior
Creditors and the holders of Senior Debt are granted adequate protection that
includes replacement Liens on additional collateral and superpriority claims and
(B) solely in the form of (1) a replacement Lien on such additional collateral,
subordinated to the Liens in favor of the Senior Creditors and such DIP
Financing on the same basis as the other Liens in favor of the Subordinated
Creditors are so subordinated to the Senior Debt under this Agreement subject to
the “carve-out” in Section 3.9(c)(iii) above and (2) solely to the extent
that the Collateral pledged or secured by the Subordinated Debt Documents has
been diminished in connection with such Proceeding, superpriority claims junior
in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the Senior Creditors and
the holders of the Senior Debt, and (y) in the event the Subordinated Creditors
receive adequate protection, including in the form of additional collateral,
then the Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated
Debt, agree that the Senior Creditors shall have a senior Lien and claim on such
adequate protection as security for the Senior Debt and that any Lien on any
additional collateral securing the Subordinated Debt shall be subordinated to
the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Debt and any DIP Financing (and
all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities relating thereto) and any other
Liens granted to the Senior Creditors or any holder of the Senior Debt as
adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the
other Liens securing the Subordinated Debt are subordinated to such Senior Debt
under this Agreement.

       

      3.13.     Asset Dispositions in a
Proceeding.  Neither the Subordinated Creditors nor any holder
of Subordinated Debt shall, in a Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or
disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by the Senior
Creditors, and the Subordinated Creditors and each holder of the Subordinated
Debt will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code
(and otherwise) to any sale supported by the Senior Creditors and to have
released their Liens in such assets upon the consummation of such
sale.

       

      3.14.     Separate Grants of Security and
Separate Classification.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf
of the holders of the Subordinated Debt, acknowledge and agree that (i) the
grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents and the Subordinated Debt
Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because
of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the
Subordinated Debt is fundamentally different from the Senior Debt and must be
separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in a
Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the Senior
Debt and the Subordinated Debt in respect of the Collateral constitute only one
secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured
claims), then the Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the
Subordinated Debt, acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as
if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the
Loan Parties in respect of the Collateral with the effect being that, to the
extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this
purpose ignoring all Subordinated Debt), the Senior Creditors and the holders of
the Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed
to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all
amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, costs, and expenses in
respect of the Senior Debt before any distribution is made in respect of the
claims held by the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of Subordinated Debt,
with the Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated
Debt, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Creditors
amounts otherwise received or receivable by them until the Senior Debt is Paid
in Full.

      
        
           

        

        
          -21-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      3.15.     No Waivers of Rights of Senior
Creditors.  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any
way limit the Senior Creditors or any holder of Senior Debt from objecting in
any Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Subordinated Creditors or
any holder of any Subordinated Debt, including the seeking by the Subordinated
Creditors or any holder of any Subordinated Debt of adequate protection or the
asserting by the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of any Subordinated Debt
of any of its rights and remedies under the Subordinated Debt Documents or
otherwise; provided no
Senior Creditor or holder of Senior Debt shall oppose or object to any claim by
a Subordinated Creditor or holder of Subordinated Debt for the inclusion of
post-petition interest (as provided for the Subordinated Debt Documents) as part
of its Subordinated Debt claim (provided the Subordinated Creditors shall not
seek the payment thereof, as adequate protection or otherwise, until the Senior
Debt is Paid in Full) or for the allowance in any Proceeding for adequate
protection permitted by Section 3.12.

       

      3.16.     Other Matters.  To
the extent that the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of any Subordinated
Debt has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code with respect to any of the Collateral, the Subordinated Creditors, on
behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree not to assert any of such
rights without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor Representative;
provided that if
requested by the Senior Creditor Representative, the Subordinated Creditor, on
behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt, shall timely exercise such
rights in the manner requested by the Senior Creditor Representative, including
any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

       

      3.17.     Distributions of Proceeds of
Collateral.  All realizations upon the Collateral or any part
thereof (whether occurring before or after the commencement of a case under the
Bankruptcy Code and including realizations resulting from sales by a Loan Party
under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), including, without limitation,
any realizations by way of a Collection Action, shall be applied first to Senior
Debt (in such order and manner as set forth in the Bank Credit Agreement or as
the Senior Creditors shall otherwise determine) until Paid in Full before any
application to the Subordinated Debt.  If Proceeds of Collateral
pursuant to a realization of Collateral described above shall be received by the
Subordinated Creditors or any holder of any Subordinated Debt before all Senior
Debt has been Paid in Full, such Proceeds shall be segregated and held in trust
and forthwith paid or delivered by the Subordinated Creditors or such holder of
Subordinated Debt to the Senior Creditor Representative for application to the
Senior Debt in such order and manner as set forth in the Bank Credit Agreement
or as the Senior Creditors shall otherwise determine).  

       

      3.18.     Perfection of Possessory Security
Interests.  For the limited purpose of perfecting the security
interests in those types or items of Collateral in which a security interest may
be perfected by possession or control, the Subordinated Creditors and the Senior
Creditors hereby appoint one another as its agent for the limited purpose of
possessing or controlling on its behalf any such Collateral that may come into
the possession or control of such other party from time to time, and the
Subordinated Creditors and the Senior Creditors each agree to act as the other
party’s agent for such limited purpose of perfecting such other party’s security
interest by possession or control through an agent; provided that neither shall
incur any liability to the other by virtue of acting as such other party’s agent
hereunder, and either may relinquish possession or control of Collateral in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Senior Debt Documents or
Subordinated Debt Documents without the consent of the other, and without
incurring liability to the other, except as otherwise provided herein or unless
there is an express written agreement to the contrary in effect between the
Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditors. 

      
        
           

        

        
          -22-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      3.19.     Release of Liens; Release of
Guarantors.  In the event that the Senior Creditors or any
holders of Senior Debt are required pursuant to the terms of any Senior Debt
Document to release their Liens in any of the Collateral securing the Senior
Debt (other than a release required as a result of the Payment in Full of all
Senior Debt) or any guaranty from any Person guaranteeing the Senior Debt, or in
the event that the Senior Creditors voluntarily elect to release their Liens in
any of the Collateral or any guaranty from any Person securing or guaranteeing
the Senior Debt (other than in connection with the termination of any such Lien
or guaranty in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement as a result
of the retirement of all Senior Debt secured or guaranteed thereby) in
connection with any sale (whether consensual or forced), foreclosure, or
realization upon, or release of, any such Collateral or such guarantor by the
Senior Creditor Representative or the Senior Creditors during the existence of
any Default, the Subordinated Creditors and the holders of the Subordinated Debt
shall release, on a prompt basis (but in any event within 5 business days
of receipt of a written request therefor), any Liens which they may have, if
any, in such Collateral or any such guaranty which they may have from any such
Person (whether or not any Subordinated Default exists or would arise as a
result thereof).  In order to effectuate the foregoing, the
Subordinated Creditors and the holders of the Subordinated Debt hereby agree to
execute and deliver to the Senior Creditor Representative releases and
terminations of the Liens in the Collateral held by (or for the benefit of) the
Subordinated Creditors or any of the holders of the Subordinated Debt if and
when requested by the Senior Creditor Representative.  Until the
Senior Debt is Paid in Full, the Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the
holders of the Subordinated Debt, hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the
Senior Creditor Representative and any officer or agent of the Senior Creditor
Representative, with full power of substitution, as their true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of the Subordinated Creditors or such holder of any Subordinated Debt or
in the Senior Creditor Representative’s own name, from time to time in the
Senior Creditor Representative’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms of this Section, to take any and all action and to execute any and all
documents and instruments which may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish
the purposes of this Section, including any endorsements or other instruments of
transfer or release.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the
holders of the Subordinated Debt, hereby irrevocably authorize the Senior
Creditor Representative to prepare and record or otherwise execute and deliver
any releases and terminations of the Liens in the relevant Collateral held by
(or for the benefit of) the Subordinated Creditors or any holder of Subordinated
Debt at any time, and to the extent, that this Agreement requires such Liens be
released or terminated.  The Subordinated Creditors, on behalf of the
holders of the Subordinated Debt, agree that the Senior Creditors may permit the
use or consumption of Collateral by a Loan Parties free of the Lien of the
Subordinated Creditors and the holders of the Subordinated Debt, in each case to
the same extent that the Senior Creditors release, refrain from enforcing or
permit the use or consumption of such Collateral by a Loan Party free of their
own Liens, without incurring any liability to the Subordinated Creditors or any
holder of Subordinated Debt.

      
        
           

        

        
          -23-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      3.20.     Collateral
Records.  If any Subordinated Creditor shall receive possession
or control of any Collateral Records which contain information relating to any
property of any Loan Party, such Subordinated Creditor shall notify the Senior
Creditor Representative that it has received such Collateral Records and shall,
as promptly as practicable thereafter, make available to the Senior Creditor
Representative such Collateral Records.

       

      3.21.     UCC Notices.  In
the event that any Senior Creditor shall be required by the UCC or any other
applicable law to give any notice to any Subordinated Creditor or holder of
Subordinated Debt, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9
hereof and, as between the Senior Creditors and the holders of the Senior Debt
on the one hand and the Subordinated Creditors and the holders of the
Subordinated Debt on the other hand, ten (10) days’ notice shall be conclusively
deemed to be commercially reasonable.

       

      
        Section 4.    Continued
Effectiveness of this Agreement.

      

       

      The terms
of this Agreement, the subordinations effected hereby, and the rights and the
obligations of any Loan Party, the Senior Creditor Representative, the Senior
Creditors, the Subordinated Creditor Representative, and the Subordinated
Creditors arising hereunder shall not be affected, modified, or impaired in any
manner or to any extent by the validity or enforceability of any of the Senior
Debt Documents or the Subordinated Debt Documents, or any exercise or
non-exercise of any right, power, or remedy under or in respect of the Senior
Debt or the Senior Debt Documents or the Subordinated Debt or the Subordinated
Debt Documents.  The Subordinated Creditors and each other holder of
Subordinated Debt hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are
intended to be enforceable at all times, whether before the commencement of,
after the commencement of, in connection with or premised on the occurrence of a
Proceeding.  This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly
acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before and after the commencement of a
Proceeding.

       

      
        Section
5.    Representations and
Warranties.

      

       

      5.1.      Subordinated Creditor
Representations and Warranties. Each Subordinated Creditor hereby
represents and warrants to the Senior Creditors as follows:

       

      (a)  Existence and Power. Such
Subordinated Creditor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing
under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization.

       

      (b)  Authority. Such Subordinated
Creditor has the power and authority to enter into, execute, delivery, and
perform the terms of this Agreement, all of which have been duly authorized by
all proper and necessary action and are not prohibited by its organizational
documents.

      
        
           

        

        
          -24-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (c)  Binding
Agreements.  This Agreement, when executed and delivered, will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Subordinated
Creditor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.

       

      (d)  Conflicting Agreements;
Litigation.  No provisions of any mortgage, indenture,
contract, agreement, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, or order
binding on such Subordinated Creditor conflicts with, or requires any consent
which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent the
execution, delivery, or performance of the terms of this Agreement by such
Subordinated Creditor.  The execution, delivery, and performance of
the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a default under, or result in
the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any lien or security
interest in the property of such Subordinated Creditor pursuant to the terms of
any such mortgage, indenture, contract, or agreement.  No pending or,
to the best of such Subordinated Creditor’s knowledge, threatened, litigation,
arbitration, or other proceeding if adversely determined would in any way
prevent the performance of the terms of this Agreement by such Subordinated
Creditor.  

       

      (e)  No Divestiture. Such
Subordinated Creditor is the sole owner, beneficially and of record, of the
Subordinated Debt held by it.  

       

      5.2.      
Senior Creditor Representative
Representations and Warranties. The Senior Creditor Representative hereby
represents and warrants to the Subordinated Creditors as follows:

       

      (a)     
Existence and
Power.  The Senior Creditor Representative is duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation or organization.

       

      (b)      Authority.  The
Senior Creditor Representative has the power and authority to enter into,
execute, delivery, and perform the terms of this Agreement, all of which have
been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action and are not prohibited
by its organizational documents.

       

      (c)      
Binding
Agreements.  This Agreement, when executed and delivered, will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Senior Creditor
Representative enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.

      
        
           

        

        
          -25-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (d)       Conflicting Agreements;
Litigation.  No provisions of any mortgage, indenture,
contract, agreement, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, or order
binding on the Senior Creditor Representative conflicts with, or requires any
consent which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent
the execution, delivery or performance of the terms of this Agreement by the
Senior Creditor Representative.  The execution, delivery, and
performance of the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a default under,
or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any lien or
security interest in the property of the Senior Creditor Representative pursuant
to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract, or
agreement.  No pending or, to the best of the Senior Creditor
Representative’s knowledge, threatened, litigation, arbitration, or other
proceeding if adversely determined would in any way prevent the performance of
the terms of this Agreement by the Senior Creditor
Representative.  

       

      
        Section 6.    Cumulative
Rights, No Waivers.

      

       

      Each and
any every right, remedy, and power granted to the Senior Creditors hereunder
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights, remedy, or power
granted herein or in the Senior Debt Documents or now or hereafter existing in
equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, and may be exercised by the
Senior Creditors, from time to time, concurrently or independently and as often
and in such order as the Senior Creditors may deem expedient.  Any
failure or delay on the part of the Senior Creditors in exercising any such
right, remedy, or power, or abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect the rights of the
Senior Creditors thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or partial
exercise of any such right, remedy, or power shall not preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, or power,
and no such failure, delay, abandonment, or single or partial exercise of the
rights of the Senior Creditors or such holder hereunder shall be deemed to
establish a custom or course of dealing or performance among the parties
hereto.

       

      
        Section 7.    Amendments
and Waivers.

      

       

      Except as
otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, any provision of this
Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is
in writing and is signed by the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Senior Debt
then outstanding (and, if the obligations of the Senior Creditor Representative
or Senior Creditor Collateral Agent are affected thereby, with the written
consent of the Senior Creditor Representative and Senior Creditor Collateral
Agent, as applicable) and the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Subordinated
Debt then outstanding (and, if the obligations of the Subordinated Creditor
Representative are affected thereby, with the written consent of the
Subordinated Creditor Representative); and then such amendment or waiver shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
given.  Any notice or demand given to the Subordinated Creditors by
the Senior Creditor Representative, the Senior Creditors, or any holder of
Senior Debt in any circumstances not specifically required hereby shall not
entitle the Subordinated Creditors to any other or further notice or demand in
the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required
hereunder.

       

      
        Section
8.    Additional Documents
and Actions.

      

          

      The
Subordinated Creditors at any time, and from time to time, after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, promptly will execute and deliver such further
documents and do such further acts and things as the Senior Creditor
Representative may reasonably request that may be necessary in order to effect
fully the purposes of this Agreement.

        Section
18.    Purchase
Option.

      

       

      18.1.  Purchase
Notice.  In the event that (a) a Proceeding has commenced
with respect to any Loan Party which is either a voluntary Proceeding by such
Loan Party or an involuntary proceeding pursuant to which the relevant cure
period in the Bank Credit Agreement has expired or for which an order for relief
has been entered, (b) all or a material part of the Senior Debt is
accelerated, or (c) the Senior Creditor Representative has delivered a
Senior Payment Default Notice or a Senior Covenant Default Notice to the
Subordinated Creditor Representative and (in the case of this clause (c))
the Purchase Notice (as defined below) is given while either (i) such
Senior Payment Default Notice or Senior Covenant Default Notice still has the
effect of blocking payment under Section 2.3(a) or (ii) any payment
blocked under Section 2.3(a) still has not been made by the Borrower, the
Subordinated Creditors shall have the option upon prior written notice by the
Subordinated Creditor Representative to the Senior Creditor Representative (the
“Purchase Notice”), to
purchase from the Senior Creditors all of the Senior Debt (including, for
purposes of this Section, all “Obligations” and all “Hedging Liability,” as such
terms are defined in the Bank Credit Agreement, including amounts, if any, in
excess of the Senior Debt Limit).  The Purchase Notice from the
Subordinated Creditor Representative to the Senior Creditor Representative shall
be irrevocable.

Closing.  On the date specified by the Subordinated Creditor
Representative in the Purchase Notice (which shall not be less than
three (3) business days nor more than thirty (30) days after the
receipt by the Senior Creditor Representative of the Purchase Notice), the
Senior Creditors shall sell to the Subordinated Creditors, and the Subordinated
Creditors shall purchase from the Senior Creditors, all of the Senior
Debt.

      18.3.  Purchase
Price.  Such purchase and sale shall be made by execution and
delivery by the Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditors of an Assignment
and Assumption in the form attached to the Bank Credit
Agreement.  Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the Subordinated
Creditors shall (i) pay to the Senior Creditor Representative for the
benefit of the holders of the Senior Debt as the purchase price therefore the
full amount of all the Senior Debt then outstanding and unpaid (including
principal, interest, fees, Eurodollar breakage or similar breakage amounts, and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), (ii) cash
collateralize any interest rate, foreign currency, or commodity hedge agreements
that have not been terminated in a manner satisfactory to the Senior Creditor
Representative, (iii) agree to reimburse the Senior Creditors for any loss,
cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to
any issued and outstanding hedge agreements as described above and any checks or
other payments provisionally credited to the Senior Debt, and/or as to which the
Senior Creditors have not yet received final payment, and (iv) agree to
reimburse (or back by stand-by letters of credit or cash collateral in a manner
satisfactory to the Senior Creditor Representative) the Senior Creditors in
respect of indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties under the Senior Debt
Documents as to matters or circumstances known to or determinable by Senior
Creditor Representative which could reasonably be expected to result in any
loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses) to the Senior Creditors.  Such purchase price and cash
collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
such bank account of the Senior Creditors as the Senior Creditor Representative
may designate in writing to the Subordinated Creditor Representative for such
purpose.  Interest shall be calculated to, but shall exclude, the
business day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid
by the Subordinated Creditors to the bank account designated by the Senior
Creditor Representative are received in such bank account prior to
2:00 p.m., Chicago time, and interest shall be calculated to, and shall
include, such business day if the amounts so paid by the Subordinated Creditors
to the bank account designated by the Senior Creditor Representative are
received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time on such
day.

       

      18.4.  Nature of
Sale.  Such purchase and sale shall be expressly made without
representation or warranty of any kind by the Senior Creditors as to the Senior
Debt or otherwise and without recourse to the Senior Creditors, except for
representations and warranties as to the following (which shall be the several,
not joint, representation by the relevant Senior Creditor selling the relevant
portion of the Senior Debt):  (i) the notional amount of the
Senior Debt being purchased (including as to the principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest on such Senior Debt, fees and expenses thereof), (ii) that
such Senior Creditor owns the relevant Senior Debt free and clear of any Liens
created by such Senior Creditor, and (iii) such Senior Creditor has the
full right and power to assign its Senior Debt and such assignment has been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action by such Senior
Creditor.

      Each
of the Subordinated Creditors, the Senior Creditors, and the Loan Parties hereto
hereby waives their respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of
action based upon or arising out of this Agreement.  Each of
Subordinated Creditors, the Senior Creditors, and the Loan Parties hereto
acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business
relationship, that each has relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement
and that each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future

opportunity of reviewing this jury waiver with legal counsel, and that each
knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights.

    SUBORDINATED CREDIT
AGREEMENT

     

    This
Subordinated Credit Agreement is entered into as of September 17, 2010, by and
among World Acceptance Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the “Borrower”),
the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement as
Lenders, and Wells Fargo Preferred Capital, Inc., as Administrative
Agent.  All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the same meanings herein as such terms as are defined in Section 5.1
hereof.

     

    Preliminary
Statements

     

    The
Borrower has requested and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed
to make available to  the Borrower a secured non-revolving line of
credit, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein.

     

    Now,
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    SECTION
1         The Credit.

     

    Section
1.1.           
The Credit. Subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders agree to extend a non-revolving
line of credit (the “Credit”)
to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not
to exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base
as then determined and computed, which may be availed of by the Borrower in its
discretion from time to time to but not including the Termination
Date.  The aggregate amount of the Credit that a Lender agrees to
extend to the Borrower shall be the aggregate amount of its
Commitment.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and
not joint, and no Lender shall under any circumstances be obligated to extend
credit hereunder in excess of its Commitment.  Each Borrowing of Loans
shall be made ratably from the Lenders in proportion to their respective
Commitments.

     

    SECTION
2          General Provisions
Applicable to Loans.

     

    Section
2.1.              Interest
Rate.  Each Loan made by a Lender shall bear interest (computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid
principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from
time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin, payable quarterly in arrears
on the fifth (5th) day of
each January, April, July and October in each year (commencing on the first such
date occurring after the date hereof) and at maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise); provided, however, during each period that the outstanding
principal balance of the Loans is less than $30,000,000 (“Minimum Balance”), the
Borrower shall pay interest at such rate per annum based upon the Minimum
Balance.

     

    Section
2.2.              Minimum Borrowing
Amounts.  Each Borrowing of Loans shall be in an amount not
less than $1,000,000, or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of
$100,000.  

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section
2.3.              Borrowing
Procedures.

     

    (a) Notice to the Administrative
Agent.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (Iowa time), on the date of each requested Borrowing,
specifying the date, amount and purpose of the Borrowing.  Such notice
shall be submitted via the Administrative Agent’s online automatic request
system and shall be certified by the president or treasurer (or such other
authorized Person as the Borrower directs from time to time) of the
Borrower.

     

                  (b)Notice to the
Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt (but in
any event by 12:00 noon (Iowa time)) telephonic or telecopy notice to each of
the Lenders of any borrowing request received pursuant to Section 2.3(a)
above.

     

                  (c)Limitation on Borrowing
Requests.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein and following the initial Borrowing on the date hereof, the Borrower may
request no more than one (1) Borrowing per fiscal quarter.

     

                  (d)Disbursement of
Loans.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Iowa time) on the date of any
Borrowing of Loans, each Lender shall make available its Loan in funds
immediately available in Des Moines, Iowa at the principal office of the
Administrative Agent.  Subject to Section 7 hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to
the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Des Moines, Iowa
(or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate), by
depositing or wire transferring such proceeds to the credit of the Borrower’s
Designated Disbursement Account or as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
may otherwise agree.

     

    Section
2.4.              RESERVED

     

    Section
2.5.              Maturity of
Loans.  Each Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner
paid, shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the Termination
Date.

     

    Section
2.6.              Prepayments.

     

    (a)  Voluntary.  Except
as may be required by Section 2.6(b) below, the Borrower shall not have the
privilege of making any prepayment of the Loans through and including the second
anniversary of the date of this Agreement.  Thereafter, the Borrower
shall have the privilege of prepaying without premium or penalty (except as
expressly set forth below) and in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an
amount not less than $100,000) any Borrowing of Loans at any time on any
Business Day upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
Borrower repay the Loan in full prior to the Maturity Date or the Obligations
are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower
shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a sum
equal to the following as a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”): (a) 1.0%
of (i) the then applicable Commitments minus (ii) any previous principal
repayments, plus (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on an amount equal
to the Minimum Balance from the date of such repayment through and including the
Maturity Date based upon the then per annum rate of interest applicable on the

reduction of principal, interest, or fees due such Lender without such
Lender’s consent); (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such
time as the Defaulting Lender Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender
shall have been reduced to zero, any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if
the Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary
prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting
Lender had no Loans outstanding; (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and
outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any unused fee

Section 3.1 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in respect of
any Defaulting Lender Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the
utilization of Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated

Lender.  No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise
affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section,
performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan
Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the
operation of this Section.  The rights and remedies against a

requiring such negotiation shall limit their right to so require such a
negotiation at any time after such a change in accounting
principles.  Until any such covenant, standard, or term is amended in
accordance with this Section 5.3, financial covenants shall be computed and
determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting
principles.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrower shall neither be deemed to be in compliance with any financial covenant
hereunder nor out of compliance with any financial covenant hereunder if such
state of compliance or noncompliance, as the case may be, would not exist but
for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date
hereof.  The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that
whether or not the Borrower may at any time adopt Accounting Standards
Codification 825 or account for assets and liabilities acquired in an
acquisition on a fair value basis pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification
805, all determinations of compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be made on the basis that the Borrower has not adopted
Accounting Standards Codification 825 or Accounting Standards Codification
805.

     

    SECTION

    The
Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders as follows:

     

    Section
6.1.              Organization and
Qualification.  The Borrower is duly organized and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the State of South Carolina, has
full and adequate corporate power to carry on its business as now conducted, is
duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of its business conducted or the nature of the Property owned or
leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary.

     

    Section
6.2.              Subsidiaries.  Each
Subsidiary is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other
entity duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which it was incorporated or organized, has full and
adequate corporate or other power to carry on its business as conducted, and is
duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of its business as now conducted or proposed to be conducted or the
nature of the Property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or
qualification necessary.  Schedule 6.2
hereto identifies each Subsidiary of the Borrower as of the date hereof, the
jurisdiction of its organization, the percentage of issued and outstanding
shares of each class of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not 100% (excluding
directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class of
its authorized capital stock or other equity interests and the number of shares
or units of each class issued and outstanding.  All of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interest of each Subsidiary
are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable and all such
shares are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower or the relevant
Restricted Subsidiary, all as set forth on said Schedule 6.2,
free of any Lien except for Lien granted to the Collateral Agent under the
Company Security Agreement on and after the Grant Date and, to the extent
applicable, Subsidiary Security Agreement on and after the Grant Date and Liens
permitted pursuant to Sections 8.11(e) and 8.11(g) hereof, and the first
priority Lien in favor of Revolving Agent to secure the Revolving
Obligations.  As of the date hereof, each Subsidiary is a Restricted
Subsidiary other than WFC-TN, World Acceptance Corporation de México,
S. de R.L. de C.V., and Servicios World Acceptance Corporation de
México, S. de R.L. de C.V.  There are no outstanding
commitments or other obligations of any Subsidiary to issue, and no options,
warrants or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of
capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary.

    
      
         

      

      
        -22-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section
6.3.              Corporate Authority and Validity of
Obligations.  The Borrower has full right and authority to
enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party, to make the borrowings
herein provided for, on and after the Grant Date to grant to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the Liens described in the Collateral
Documents, to issue its Notes and to perform all of its obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents.  Each Restricted Subsidiary has
full right and authority to enter into the Loan Documents entered into by it, on
and after the Grant Date to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders, the Liens described in the Collateral Documents to which it is a
party and to perform all of its obligations thereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.  The Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower, and by each
Restricted Subsidiary, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
Person and constitute valid and binding obligations of such Person enforceable
in accordance with their terms except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of
whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceedings may be brought; and the Loan Documents do not, nor does the
performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of
the matters or things herein or therein provided for, contravene any provision
of law or any Governing Documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any
covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or a substantial portion of their respective Properties.

     

    Section
6.4.              Investment
Company.  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.

     

    Section
6.5.             Use of Proceeds; Margin
Stock.  The Loans hereunder shall be used by the Borrower (a)
on the date hereof to repay certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrower and
(b) thereafter, for general working capital purposes (including the repayment or
purchase of Convertible Notes and purchase of the Borrower’s capital stock, in
each case in amounts and upon terms approved by the Borrower’s board of
directors (or similar governing body)).  Neither the Borrower nor any
of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its primary activities,
in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
Margin Stock, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will use the
proceeds of any Loan in a manner that violates any provision of Regulation U or
X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

    
      
         

      

      
        -23-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section
6.6.              Financial
Reports.  The consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2010, and the related
statements of consolidated earnings, consolidated changes in shareholders’
equity and consolidated cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the
year then ended and accompanying notes thereto, which financial statements are
accompanied by the report of KPMG LLP, independent public accountants, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis and fairly
present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of such dates and the consolidated results of their operations
and cash flows for the periods then ended.

     

    Section
6.7.              No Material Adverse
Change.  Since March 31, 2010, there has been no change in the
condition, financial or otherwise, or business prospects of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries except changes in the ordinary course of business, none of which
individually or in the aggregate have been materially adverse.

     

    Section
6.8.              Litigation.  Except
as disclosed on Schedule 6.8
attached hereto, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending, nor
to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary which if adversely determined would (a) impair the validity or
enforceability of, or impair the ability of the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or (b) result in any material adverse change in the financial condition
or Property, business or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole.

     

    Section
6.9.              Taxes.  All tax
returns required to be filed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any
jurisdiction have, in fact, been filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and
other governmental charges upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or upon any of
their respective properties, income or franchises, which are shown to be due and
payable in such returns have been paid.  The Borrower does not know of
any proposed additional tax assessment against it for which adequate provision
in accordance with GAAP has not been made on its accounts.  The
Federal income tax liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has either
been finally determined by the Internal Revenue Service and satisfied for all
taxable years up to and including the taxable year ended December 31, 2005,
or the applicable statute of limitations therefor has expired and, except as
disclosed on Schedule
6.9 attached hereto, no material controversy in respect of additional
income taxes due since said date is pending or to the knowledge of the Borrower
threatened.  Adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP for taxes on
the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary have been made for all open years,
and for its current fiscal period.

     

    Section
6.10.           Approvals.  No
authorization, consent, license, or exemption from, or filing or registration
with, any court or governmental department, agency or instrumentality, or any
approval or consent of the stockholders of the Borrower or from any other
Person, is necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.

    
      
         

      

      
        -24-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section
6.11.           Indebtedness and
Liens.  Schedule 6.11
attached hereto correctly describes all Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of the date
hereof.  There are no Liens on any of the Property of the Borrower or
any Subsidiary, except those which are permitted by Section 8.11 of this
Agreement.

     

    Section
6.12.           ERISA.  The
Borrower and each Subsidiary are in compliance in all material respects with
ERISA, to the extent applicable to them and have received no notice to the
contrary from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or any other
governmental entity or agency.  As of March 31, 2010, the liability of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to PBGC in respect of Unfunded Vested
Liabilities would not have been in excess of $0 if all employee pension benefit
plans maintained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries had been terminated as of
such date.  No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred
with respect to any Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in the
incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any material liability, fine or
penalty.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any contingent
liability with respect to any post-retirement benefits under a Welfare Plan,
other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of
Title I of ERISA and liability for post-retirement medical and life
insurance benefits.

     

    Section
6.13.           Material
Agreements.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party
to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate
restriction materially and adversely affecting its business, properties or
assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise).  Neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i)
any agreement to which it is a party, which default might have a material
adverse effect on the business, properties or assets, operations, or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole
or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing
Indebtedness.

     

    Section
6.14.            Compliance with
Laws.

     

    (a)  Environmental.

     

    (i) The business and operation of

properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

     

    (ii) Neither the Borrower nor any
Subsidiary has given, nor should it give, nor has it received, any notice,

may be or is liable, in whole or in part, for the costs or cleaning up,
remediating or responding to a release of Hazardous Substances (including,
without limitation, petroleum, its by-products or derivatives, or other
hydrocarbons); (iv) any of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s property or
assets are subject to a Lien in favor of any governmental entity for any
liability, costs or damages, under any federal, state or local environmental
law, rule or regulation arising from, or costs incurred by such governmental
entity in response to, a release of a Hazardous Substance (including, without
limitation, petroleum, its by-products or derivatives, or other hydrocarbons),
except to the extent that such violation, release, liability or Lien could not
have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole.

                  (b)Other Laws.  The

the Lenders all information requested by Administrative Agent or the Lenders
regarding the Borrower and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries necessary for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to comply with all applicable OFAC
Sanctions Programs, and (d) to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries is, as of the date hereof,
named on the current OFAC SDN List.

     

    Section
6.15.           Full
Disclosure.  The financial statements referred to in
Section 6.6 do not, nor do the written statements or information, if any,
furnished by the Borrower to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of or

    SECTION
8          Covenants.

     

    Section
8.1.             Existence,
Etc.  The Borrower will preserve and keep in force and effect,
and will cause each Subsidiary to preserve and keep in force and effect, its
legal existence and all licenses and permits necessary to the proper conduct of
its business.  

     

    Section
8.2.             Insurance.  The
Borrower will maintain, and will cause each Subsidiary to maintain, insurance
coverage by financially sound and reputable insurers accorded a rating of A or
better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (the “Best Rating”) at the time of
the issuance of any such policy and in such forms and amounts and against such
risks as are customary for corporations of established reputation engaged in the
same or a similar business and owning and operating similar properties with each
such policy requiring renewal of such policy at intervals of no greater than one
year from the date of issuance or renewal thereof; provided, however, that if
during the term of any such insurance policy the rating accorded any insurer
shall be less than a Best Rating of A, the Borrower will, on the date of renewal
of any such policy (or, if such change in rating shall occur within 90 days
prior to such renewal date, within 90 days of the date of such change in
rating), obtain such insurance policy from an insurer accorded a Best Rating of
A or better.

    
      
         

      

      
        -28-

Materials.  The Borrower will promptly pay and discharge, and
will cause each Subsidiary promptly to pay and discharge, all taxes, assessments
and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Borrower or such Subsidiary,
respectively, or upon or in respect of all or any part of the property or
business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary (including, but not limited to the
Property of such Persons), all trade accounts payable in accordance with usual
and customary business terms, and all claims for work, labor or materials, which
if unpaid might become a lien or charge upon any property of the Borrower or
such Subsidiary (including, but not limited to the Property of such Persons);
provided the Borrower
or such Subsidiary shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment,
charge, levy, account payable or claim if (a) the validity, applicability or
amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate actions or
proceedings which will prevent the forfeiture or sale of any property of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary or any material interference with the use thereof by
the Borrower or such Subsidiary, and (b) the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall
set aside on its books reserves adequate in accordance with GAAP with respect
thereto.

     

    Section
8.4.             Compliance with Laws;

Borrower will promptly comply, and will cause each Subsidiary to comply, with

subject, including without limitation, ERISA and all Environmental Legal
Requirements the violation of which could, individually or in the aggregate,
materially and adversely affect the properties (including the Property of such
Persons), business, prospects, profits or condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries or could, individually or in the aggregate, result in any lien or
charge upon any property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

     

    (b)           OFAC.  The Borrower
shall at all times comply with the requirements of all OFAC Sanctions Programs
to the extent applicable to the Borrower and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to comply with the requirements of all OFAC Sanctions Programs to
the extent applicable to such Subsidiary.  The Borrower shall provide
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any information regarding the Borrower,
its Affiliates, and its Subsidiaries requested by Administrative Agent or the
Lenders necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to comply with
all applicable OFAC Sanctions Programs; subject however, in the case of
Affiliates, to the Borrower’s ability to provide information applicable to
them.  If the Borrower obtains actual knowledge or receives any
written notice that the Borrower, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary is named on
the then current OFAC SDN List (such occurrence, an “OFAC Event”), the Borrower
shall promptly (i) give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders of such OFAC Event, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws with
respect to such OFAC Event (regardless of whether the party included on the OFAC
SDN List is located within the jurisdiction of the United States of America),
including the OFAC Sanctions Programs, and the Borrower hereby authorizes and
consents to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taking any and all steps
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders deem necessary, in their sole but
reasonable discretion, to avoid violation of all applicable laws with respect to
any such OFAC Event, including the requirements of the OFAC Sanctions Programs
(including the freezing and/or blocking of assets and reporting such action to
OFAC).

Etc.  The Borrower will maintain, preserve and keep, and will

leasehold interest) in good repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear
excepted) and from time to time will make all necessary repairs, replacements,
renewals and additions so that at all times the efficiency thereof shall be
maintained.

    Section
8.6.             Nature of
Business.  Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary
will engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business,
taken on a consolidated basis, which would then be engaged in by the Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, the Insurance
Subsidiary) would be substantially changed from the general nature of the
business engaged in by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on the date
of this Agreement.

1.0.

     

    Section
8.9.              Permitted Indebtedness. The

property;

     

                     (d)Liens constituting renewals, extensions

8.12.           Subordinated Debt; Convertible
Notes.

Obligations shall at all times constitute “Senior Debt” or “Senior Indebtedness”
(or words of like import) under any indenture, instrument, or agreement relating
to any Subordinated Debt.  

     

                  (b)Except as otherwise specified below,
the Borrower shall not (i) amend or modify any of the terms or conditions
relating to Subordinated Debt, (ii) make any voluntary prepayment of
Subordinated Debt or effect any voluntary redemption thereof, (iii) make
any cash payments in connection with any conversion of any such Subordinated
Debt, or (iv) make any payment on account of Subordinated Debt which is
prohibited under the terms of any instrument or agreement subordinating the same

prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower

beyond the current due dates therefor or to any other amendment or modifications
of any Subordinated Debt not adverse to the Lenders (other than amendments or
modifications of the relevant subordination provisions thereof which requires
the affirmative consent of the Required Lenders), and (y) with prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (which notice may be
given the same day as the anticipated consummation of the transaction addressed
in the notice), the Borrower may voluntarily prepay, redeem, or repurchase all
or any part of outstanding Subordinated Debt if at the time of any such payment
and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default exists, which
notice shall be accompanied by a duly executed officer's certificate (in form
and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) certifying the amount of
the Subordinated Debt to be voluntarily prepaid, redeemed, or repurchased, the
payment or purchase price thereof, and that at the time of any such payment and
after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default
exists.

                  (c)Prior to the Grant Date, the
Obligations shall at all times constitute “Senior Subordinated Indebtedness”

as otherwise specified below, the Borrower shall not amend or modify any of the
terms or conditions relating to Convertible Notes
Indenture.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with prior written notice
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower may agree to a
decrease in the interest rate applicable thereto.  In the event any
“fundamental change” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) occurs or
any other event occurs or condition exists which requires the Borrower to
prepay, redeem, or repurchase all or any part of outstanding Indebtedness owing
under the Convertible Notes prior to its originally scheduled maturity and/or
pay cash in connection with any conversion of any Convertible Notes (or any
Indebtedness that constitutes a permitted refinancing or replacement thereof),
the Borrower shall provided written notice of such “fundamental change,” event,
or condition to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the time it gives
(or is required to give) notice thereof to the holders of the relevant
Indebtedness (or in the case of a conversion, promptly after receipt of a notice
of conversion).

consolidate with or into the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary (other
than the Insurance Subsidiary) so long as in any merger or consolidation
involving the Borrower, the Borrower shall be the surviving or continuing
corporation;

     

                     (2)the Borrower may merge or consolidate

Restricted Subsidiary at the time owned by the Borrower and by every other
Restricted Subsidiary shall be sold, transferred or disposed of as an
entirety;

     

                     (2)the Board of Directors of the Borrower
shall have determined, as evidenced by a resolution thereof, that the retention
of such interest and Indebtedness is no longer in the best interests of the
Borrower or the Lenders;

     

                     (3)such interest and Indebtedness is sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person, for a cash consideration and
on terms reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors to be adequate and
satisfactory;

     

                     (4)the Restricted Subsidiary being
disposed of shall not have any continuing investment in the Borrower or any
other Restricted Subsidiary not being simultaneously disposed of;

Lenders.  When any Default or Event of Default described in the
foregoing Section 9.1 has occurred, or if any Lender or the holder of any
other evidence of Indebtedness of the Borrower gives any notice or takes any
other action with respect to a claimed default, the Borrower agrees to give
notice within three business days (except as otherwise specifically provided
herein) of such event to all Lenders, such notice to be in writing and sent by
registered or certified mail or by telegram.

                     (b)       declare
the principal of and the accrued interest on all outstanding Notes of the
Borrower to be forthwith due and payable and thereupon all of said Notes,
including both principal and interest, shall be and become immediately due and
payable together with all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of
any kind.

     

    The
Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 9.3, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other

notice.

all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents

of the Lenders to extend further credit pursuant to any of the terms hereof
shall immediately terminate.

Event of Default by the Borrower hereunder or in connection with the enforcement
of any of the terms hereof or of the other Loan Documents (including all such
costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the United
States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary as a
debtor).

    SECTION
11          The Administrative
Agent.

     

    Section
11.1.      Appointment and
Authorization.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Wells
Fargo Preferred Capital, Inc. its Administrative Agent under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take
such action as Administrative Agent and on its behalf and to exercise such
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The Lenders expressly agree that the
Administrative Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Lenders in respect of
the Loan Documents, the Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of
the other Loan Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders except as expressly set forth
herein.

     

    Section
11.2.      Administrative Agent and
Affiliates.  The Administrative Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other
Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were
not an Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if
it were not an Administrative Agent hereunder and thereunder.

    Section
11.3.      Action by Administrative
Agent.  If the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower
a written notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders written notice
thereof.  The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents are only those expressly set forth therein.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of
Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 9.3.  Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default on or after the Grant Date, the Administrative
Agent shall instruct the Collateral Agent to take such action to enforce its
Lien on the Collateral and to preserve and protect the Collateral as may be
directed by the Required Lenders.  Unless and until the Required
Lenders give such direction, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as
it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders.  In
no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be
required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision
of any Loan Document, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or
under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of
its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment
of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all
costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists unless notified in
writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower.  In all cases in
which the Loan Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take
specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its
discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder.  Any
instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called
for under the specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon
all the Lenders and the holders of the Obligations.  The
Administrative Agent shall be acting as an independent contractor hereunder and
nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on the Administrative Agent any
fiduciary obligations to the Lenders or the Borrower.

     

    Section
11.4.     Consultation with
Experts.  The Administrative Agent 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 by it in good
faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts.

     

    Section
11.5.      Liability of Administrative
Agent.  No Administrative Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder
or any other Loan Document; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any Loan Document;
(iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7, except
receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv)
the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes, any
other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection
herewith or of the collectibility of the Obligations or the value, worth,
priority, or perfection of the Collateral or the Liens provided for by the Loan
Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by
acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, request or statement
(whether written or oral) or other documents believed by it to be genuine or to
be signed by the proper party or parties and, in the case of legal matters, in
relying on the advice of counsel (including counsel for the
Borrower).  The Administrative Agent need not verify the worth or
existence of the Collateral and may rely exclusively on reports of the Borrower
in computing the Borrowing Base.  The Administrative Agent may treat
the Lenders that are named herein as the holders of the Notes and the
indebtedness contemplated herein.

    Section
11.6.     Indemnification.  Each
Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitments (or, if the Commitments
have been terminated in whole, ratably in accordance with its outstanding
Loans), indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsels’ fees and
disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss, obligation, damages, penalties,
judgments, suits or liability (except such as result from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Administrative Agent
may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or
thereunder.    The obligations of the Lenders under this
Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the
account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of
participations, indemnities or otherwise, and with any amounts offset for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent to be held by it for its own account, but
shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent
by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

     

    Section
11.7.     Credit
Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, 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
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, 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 any action under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.

     

    Section
11.8.      Resignation of the Administrative
Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may,
with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld), resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, with
the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), a
successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted
such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent
may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
shall be a commercial bank, or an Affiliate of a commercial bank, having an
office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $200,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such
successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent.

    Section
11.9.      Payments.  Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the date
on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of
the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such
Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent may
in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available
to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any
Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such
Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made
available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest
thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such
amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date
such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate (as hereinafter defined).  If such
amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately
upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the
proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate
per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant
Loan.  “Federal
Funds Rate” shall mean the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to
be the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%)
of the rates per annum quoted to the Administrative Agent at approximately 10:00
A.M. (Iowa time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) on such date (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) by
two or more Federal funds brokers selected by the Administrative Agent for the
sale to the Administrative Agent at face value of Federal Funds in an amount
equal or comparable to the principal amount owed to the Administrative Agent for
which such rate is being determined hereof.

     

    Section 11.10.  
 Designation of
Additional Agents.  The Administrative Agent shall have the
continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to
designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as
“co-agent,” “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “arrangers” or other
designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive
effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers,
duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

     

    Section 11.11.  
 Authorization to Release
or Subordinate or Limit Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to authorize the Collateral Agent
to (a) on and after the Grant Date, release any Lien covering any
Collateral that is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Collateral
Documents (including a sale, transfer, or disposition permitted by the terms of
Section 8.13 hereof or which has otherwise been consented to in accordance
with Section 12.11 hereof) or the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) on and
after the Grant Date, release or subordinate any Lien on Collateral consisting
of goods financed with purchase money indebtedness or under a Capital Lease to
the extent such purchase money indebtedness or Capitalized Lease Obligation, and
the Lien securing the same, are permitted by Sections 8.9, 8.10, and 8.11
hereof, (c) reduce or limit the amount of the indebtedness secured by any
particular item of Collateral to an amount not less than the estimated value
thereof to the extent necessary to reduce mortgage registry, filing and similar
tax and (d) on and after the Grant Date, release Liens on the Collateral
following termination or expiration of the Commitments and payment in full in
cash of the Obligations.

    Section
11.12.   Collateral Agent. The Lenders
and the Borrower acknowledge and agree that Wells Fargo Preferred Capital, Inc.
has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan
Documents.  The Collateral Agent shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11
with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Collateral Agent in
connection with any Loan Documents as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent”, as used in this Section 11, included the Collateral Agent with
respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this
Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral
Agent.

     

    Section
11.13.   Authorization to Enter into, and
Enforcement of, the Collateral Documents and Intercreditor
Agreement.  The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized by each of the Lenders to execute and deliver the Collateral
Documents and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
are hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to execute and deliver
the Intercreditor Agreement and any other subordination and/or intercreditor
agreement with respect to any Subordinated Debt on behalf of each of the Lenders
and their Affiliates and to take such action and exercise such powers under the
Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and such other subordination
and/or intercreditor agreements as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent considers appropriate, provided neither the Administrative Agent not the
Collateral Agent shall amend the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor
Agreement or such other subordination and/or intercreditor agreements unless
such amendment is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders.  Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions
of the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and such other
subordination and/or intercreditor agreements upon the execution and delivery
thereof by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable.  Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no
Lender (or its Affiliates) other than the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, shall have the right to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any
Collateral on and after the Grant Date or for the execution of any trust or
power in respect of the Collateral on and after the Grant Date or for the
appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under the
Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or such other subordination
and/or intercreditor agreements; it being understood and intended that no one or
more of the Lenders (or their Affiliates) shall have any right in any manner
whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Collateral Agent
under the Collateral Documents or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any
Collateral Agent set forth in Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement
or any other subordination and/or intercreditor agreements by its or their
action or to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in
equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in the manner provided for in the relevant
Collateral Documents, Intercreditor Agreement or such other subordination and/or
intercreditor agreements  for the benefit of the Lenders and their
Affiliates.

    SECTION
12         Miscellaneous.

     

    Section
12.1.      Withholding
Taxes.

     

    (a)        
  Payments Free of
Withholding.  Except as otherwise required by law and subject
to Section 12.1(b) hereof, each payment by the Borrower under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or
on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes
on the recipient) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is
domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment, or (in
each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein.  If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower shall
make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental
authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and
forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net
amount actually received by each Lender and the Administrative Agent free and
clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to
the amount which that Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
would have received had such withholding not been made.  If the
Administrative Agent or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes,
penalties or interest, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or
such Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was
made.  If the Borrower pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it
shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies
thereof to the Lender or Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding
was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the
original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

     

                  (b)U.S. Withholding Tax
Exemptions.  Each Lender that is not a United States person (as
such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date hereof or, if
later, the date such financial institution becomes a Lender hereunder, two duly
completed and signed copies of (i) either Form W-8 BEN (relating to
such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the
Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to
the Loan Documents and the Obligations) or Form W-8 ECI (relating to all
amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan
Documents and the Obligations) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or
(ii) solely if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States withholding
tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest”, a Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service, and a certificate representing that such Lender is
not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent
shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the
Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower
(within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the
Code).  Thereafter and from time to time, each Lender shall submit to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and
signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as
shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing
authorities) and such other certificates as may be (i) requested by the
Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Administrative Agent, to
such Lender and (ii) required under then-current United States law or
regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in
respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant
to the Loan Documents or the Obligations.  Upon the request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a United States person
(as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a certificate to the effect that it
is such a United States person.

    
      
         

      

      
        -49-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

                  (c)Inability of Lender to Submit
Forms.  If any Lender determines, as a result of any change in
applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or
interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender is obligated to
submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12.1 or that such
Lender is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously
submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or
inaccurate, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative
Agent of such fact and the Lender shall to that extent not be obligated to
provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel
any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

     

    Section
12.2.     No Waiver of
Rights.  No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any Note in the
exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an
acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise of any other power or
right.  The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders and of the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and
not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise
have.

     

    Section
12.3.     Non-Business
Day.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day
which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and
payable.  In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day
which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to
accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued
amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of
interest.

     

    Section
12.4.     Documentary
Taxes.  The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary,
stamp or similar taxes payable in respect to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are
assessed irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any
credit is then in use or available hereunder.

     

    Section
12.5.     Survival of
Representations.  All representations and warranties made
herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of the Notes, and
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which
they were made as long as any credit is in use or available
hereunder.

     

    Section
12.6.     Survival of
Indemnities.  All indemnities and all other provisions relative
to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of
the Lenders with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to,
Section 10.3 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and the Notes.

     

    Section
12.7.     Sharing of
Set-Off.  Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party
hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by
set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise (“Set-off”), on any of the
Obligations outstanding under this Agreement in excess of its ratable share of
payments on all Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender
shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each
of the other Lenders such amount of the Obligations held by each such other
Lender (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share
such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such
purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the
other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to
the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without
interest.  Each Lender’s ratable share of any such Set-off shall be
determined by the proportion that the aggregate amount of Loans then due and

    Section
12.10.    Successors and
Assigns.

     

    (a)    
General.  This
Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of each of the Lenders and the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note;
provided, however, that the Borrower
may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written
consent of all of the Lenders.

     

                  (b)Participations.  Each
Lender shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrower, at its own
cost to grant participations in the Loans made and/or Commitments held by such
Lender to one or more financial institutions at any time and from time to
time without the consent of the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) no such
participation shall relieve any Lender of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, (ii) the participant financial institutions shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section  10.3 hereof but shall not be entitled to any greater
payment under any of such Sections than the Lender granting such participation
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, and
(iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with this
Agreement and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations
of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification
or waiver of this  Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that such participation
agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the
consent of such participant, that would reduce the amount of or postpone the
date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan hereunder. The
Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any participant or prospective
participant under this Section any financial or other information pertaining to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

    
      
         

      

      
        -52-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

                  (c)      
Assignments.  Each
Lender shall have the right at any time, with the prior consent of the
Administrative Agent and, except as provided below, the Borrower (which consent
of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to
sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of its rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the
indebtedness evidenced by the Notes then held by such assigning Lender) to one
or more commercial banks or other financial institutions or investors, provided
that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, such assignment
shall be of a fixed percentage (and not by its terms of varying percentage) of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in
order to make any such assignment (i) unless the assigning Lender is
assigning all of its Commitments and outstanding Loans, the assigning Lender
shall retain at least $5,000,000 in unused Commitments and outstanding Loans,
(ii) the assignee Lender shall have Commitments and outstanding Loans of at
least $5,000,000, (iii) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required
for any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or for any
assignment made during the existence of any Event of Default, (iv) each
such assignment shall be evidenced by a written agreement (in form and substance
acceptable to the Administrative Agent) executed by such assigning Lender, such
assignee Lender or Lenders, the Administrative Agent and, unless not required
under clause (iii) above, the Borrower, which agreement shall specify in
each instance the portion of the Obligations which are to be assigned to the
assignee Lender and the portion of the Commitments of the assigning Lender to be
assumed by the assignee Lender, and (v) the assigning Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500 in connection with any such
assignment agreement.  Any such assignee shall become a Lender for all
purposes hereunder to the extent of the rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents it assumes and the assigning Lender shall be released from its
obligations, and will have released its rights, under the Loan Documents to the
extent of such assignment.  The address for notices to such assignee
Lender shall be as specified in the assignment agreement executed by
it.  Promptly upon the effectiveness of any such assignment agreement,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver replacement Notes to the assignee Lender
and the assigning Lender in the respective amounts of their Commitments (or
assigned principal amounts, as applicable) after giving effect to the reduction
occasioned by such assignment (all such Notes to constitute “Notes” for all purposes of
the Loan Documents), and the assignee Lender shall thereafter surrender to the
Borrower its old Notes.  The Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of an interest in the Loans
or its Commitments under this Section any financial or other information
pertaining to the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

     

                  (d)Pledge.  In
addition to the foregoing,
any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this
Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest;
provided that no such
pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such
Lender as a party hereto; provided further, however,
the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank)
to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it,
whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to
the terms of this Agreement.

     

    Section
12.11.   Amendments.  Any
provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only
if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower,
(b) the Required Lenders, (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and
(d) if the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent are affected thereby,
the Collateral Agent; provided that:

     

                     (i)       
no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section shall (A) increase any
Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender or (B) reduce the
amount of or postpone the date for  any scheduled payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder without the
consent of the Lender to which such payment is owing or which has committed to
make such Loan or other credit hereunder; and

    
      
         

      

      
        -53-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

                     (ii)      
no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section shall, unless signed by each
Lender, extend the Termination Date, change the provisions of this Section, the
definition of Required Lenders, or the provisions of Section 9.4, release any
material guarantor or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as
otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents), or affect the number of Lenders
required to take any action hereunder.

     

    Section
12.12.   Non-Reliance on Margin
Stock.  Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative
Agent and to each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon
any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit
provided for in this Agreement.

     

    Section
12.13.    Fees and
Indemnification.

     

      
 (a)     The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver or consent related hereto,
whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are
consummated.

     

                
   (b)     The Borrower further agrees
to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and any security trustee or
collateral agent therefore (including the Collateral Agent), and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, financial advisors, and
consultants (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against all
losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses
(including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for any such Indemnitee and all reasonable expenses of litigation
or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto, or
any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation)
which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan
Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or
indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan, other
than those which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
party claiming indemnification.  The Borrower, upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or a Lender at any time, shall
reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Lender for any
legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with
investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any
settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due
to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be
indemnified.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower
shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

    Section
12.14.   Set-off.  In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each subsequent holder of any Obligation,
and each of their respective affiliates, is hereby authorized by the
Borrower at any
time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other
Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including,
but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether
matured or unmatured, and in whatever currency denominated, but not including
trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that
Lender, subsequent holder, or affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of
the Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations
of the Borrower to that Lender or subsequent holder under the Loan Documents,
including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising
out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not
(a) that Lender or subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder
or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans and other amounts due
hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 9 and
although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or
unmatured.

     

    Section
12.15.   Governing Law. 
 THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL
DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AND
TO BE PERFORMABLE IN THE STATE OF IOWA AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF IOWA.

     

    Section
12.16.    Headings.  Section
headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the
construction of this Agreement.

     

    Section
12.17.   Entire
Agreement.  The Loan Documents constitute the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and any prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, with
respect thereto are superseded hereby.

     

    Section
12.18.   Severability of
Provisions.  Any provision of any Loan Document which is
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.  All rights, remedies and powers provided
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the
extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory
provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan
Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of
law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or
unenforceable.

    Section
12.19.   Excess
Interest.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require
the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the
maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use
or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the
Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (“Excess
Interest”).  If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is
adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in
such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b)
neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any
Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative
Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount
of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower,
or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to
reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury
laws (the “Maximum
Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in
the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or
endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender
for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any
Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of
time interest on any of Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate
rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such
applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable
on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders
have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received
during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not
been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

     

    Section
12.20.  Construction.  The
parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed
more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the
same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to
the negotiation of the Loan Documents. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is
prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements
contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants
and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

     

    Section
12.21.  Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver
of Jury Trial.  The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in Polk County, Iowa for
purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.  The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that
any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum.  The
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives any
and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
thereby.

    Section
12.22.   Exchanging
Information.  The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Wells
Fargo & Company, Wells Fargo Financial, Inc. and all direct and indirect
subsidiaries the of Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Wells Fargo & Company
or Wells Fargo Financial, Inc. may exchange and share any and all information
they may have in their possession regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
and Affiliates with the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ prospective
participants, affiliates, accountants, lawyers and other advisors, the
Administrative Agent, Lenders, Wells Fargo & Company, Wells Fargo Financial,
Inc. and all direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Administrative Agent,
Lender, Wells Fargo & Company or Wells Fargo Financial, Inc., and the
Borrower waives any right of confidentiality it may have with respect to such
exchange of such information.

     

    Section
12.23.   Advertisement.  Each
Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to publish
the name of such Lender and the Borrower, the existence of the financing
arrangements referenced under this Agreement, the primary purpose and/or
structure of those arrangements, the title and role of each party to this
Agreement and the total amount of the financing evidenced hereby in any
“tombstone”, comparable advertisement or press release which Administrative
Agent elects to submit for publication (“Press
Release”).  With respect to any of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent shall provide Lenders and the Borrower with an opportunity
to review and confer with the Administrative Agent regarding the contents of any
Press Release prior to its submission for publication

     

    Section
12.24.   Confidentiality.  Each
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders severally agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors to the
extent any such Person has a need to know such Information (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
(including any selfregulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party
hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the
Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their directors, officers,
employees or agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors,
(i) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection
with a rating relating to the Loans or Commitments hereunder, or (j) to entities
which compile and publish information about the syndicated loan market, provided
that only basic information about the pricing and structure of the transaction
evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this subsection
(j).  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or from any
other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any
such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on
a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries.

from time to time (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”),
the undersigned does hereby certify, represent and warrant to Administrative
Agent, the truth, accuracy and completeness of the following statements as of
the date set opposite his/her signature below:

    

    1.   The Borrower
remains in compliance with all financial covenants and other covenants contained
in the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof; all representations and
warranties contained in the Credit Agreement are and remain true, accurate and
complete in all material respects as of the date hereof; and no event has
occurred as of the date hereof that constitutes, or, with the passage of time or
the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a Default or an Event of
Default under the Credit Agreement.

    

    2.   Other than Non-Material
Violations (as defined below), Borrower is in compliance with, and has
appropriate internal control processes, policies and procedures in place to
remain in compliance with, all federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations (“Laws and
Regulations”) applicable to (i) the transactions contemplated in the
Credit Agreement and (ii) Borrower’s business in general, the extension of
consumer credit, and the protection of consumer rights, including, without
limitation, Laws and Regulations relating to usury and maximum allowable finance
charges, insurance products, the charging of fees, the marketing, offering and
sale of Borrower’s products and services, and those Laws and Regulations
commonly known as the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the Truth in Lending Act,
the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Federal
Trade Commission Act, the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act, Regulations B and Z of the Federal Reserve Board.  The
term “Non-Material
Violations” as used above means violations of Laws and Regulations by
Borrower that would not, either presently or with the passage of time, and
either individually or in the aggregate, (i) have a material adverse effect on
the Borrower’s financial condition or business taken as a whole or (ii)
adversely affect the condition or value of the Collateral (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) or the enforceability of material contracts and Finance
Receivables (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

    

    3.   The undersigned is the
[President/CEO] of Borrower, and, as such, the undersigned has the full power
and authority to execute and deliver this Certificate to Administrative
Agent.  The undersigned does hereby personally verify that the
statements made herein are true, correct and complete in every respect, and the
undersigned understands that the failure of any statement made herein to be
true, correct or complete will constitute an event of default (however the same
may be designated) under the Credit Agreement.
