ARTICLE II.
ADVANCES
2.01 Advances.
(a) Revolving Credit Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Lender agrees to make one or more Revolving Credit Advances to Borrowers from
time to time from the date hereof to and including the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of the Commitment, provided
that the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Advances at any time outstanding shall not
exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of the Commitment or (ii) the Borrowing Base. Subject to the
foregoing limitations, and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers may
borrow, repay, and reborrow hereunder.
(i) The Revolving Credit Note. The obligation of Borrowers to repay the
Revolving Credit Advances and interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Revolving
Credit Note executed by Borrowers payable to the order of Lender, in the principal amount
of the Commitment as originally in effect and dated the date hereof.
(ii) Payments on Revolving Credit Advances. All accrued but unpaid
interest on the Revolving Credit Advances outstanding from time to time shall be payable
in monthly installments on each Interest Payment Date until the Maturity Date when the
then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note and all accrued but unpaid
interest thereon shall be due and payable. Borrowers may from time to time during the term
of this Agreement borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and
reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Agreement and of
the Loan Documents; provided, however, that the unpaid principal of the Revolving Credit
Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above.
(iii) Borrowing Procedure. Borrowers shall give Lender notice of each
Revolving Credit Advance by means of an Advance Request Form containing the
information required therein and delivered (by hand or by mechanically confirmed
facsimile) to Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (Texas time) on the day on which the
Revolving Credit Advance is desired to be funded. Advances shall be in a minimum
amount of $10,000. Lender at its option may accept telephonic requests for such Advances,
provided that such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require
delivery of an Advance Request Form in connection with subsequent Advances. Any
telephonic request for a Revolving Credit Advance by Borrowers shall be promptly
confirmed by submission of a properly completed Advance Request Form to Lender, but
failure to deliver an Advance Request Form shall not be a defense to payment of the
Advance. Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by
Borrowers as a result of Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions,
authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically,
by facsimile or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrowers and
Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity
or authority of the Person sending it. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each Revolving Credit Advance shall be made available to Borrowers by depositing the
same, in immediately available funds, in an account of Borrowers designated by Borrowers
maintained with Lender at the Principal Office. At no time shall there be more than five (5)
LIBOR Amounts outstanding under this Agreement.  

	
	4834-9142-1879 v.10

 19
2.02 General Provisions Regarding Interest, Etc.
(a) Repayment of Advances. Borrowers shall repay the unpaid principal amount of
all Advances on the Maturity Date, unless sooner due by reason of acceleration by Lender as
provided in this Agreement.
(b) Interest Rate. The unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall bear interest from
the date hereof through the Maturity Date at a per annum rate which shall be, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the lesser of (A) the Loan Rate in effect from day to day, or (B) the
Maximum Lawful Rate. The determination by Lender of the Loan Rate shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding in all respects. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that (i) LIBOR is permanently or indefinitely unavailable or unascertainable,
or ceases to be published by the LIBOR administrator or its successor, (ii) the LIBOR administrator
or its successor invokes its insufficient admissions policy, (iii) LIBOR is determined to be no longer
representative by the regulatory supervisor of the administrator of LIBOR,  (iv) LIBOR can no
longer be lawfully relied upon in contracts of this nature by one or both of the parties, or (v) LIBOR
does not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the type of loans or advances
under this Agreement and in any such case, such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, then
all references to the Loan Rate herein will instead be to a replacement rate determined by Lender
in its reasonable judgment, including any adjustment to the replacement rate to reflect a different
credit spread, term or other mathematical adjustment deemed necessary by the Lender in its
reasonable judgment.   Lender will provide reasonable notice to Borrowers of such replacement
rate, which will be effective on the date of the earliest event set forth in clauses (i)-(v) of this
paragraph.  If there is any ambiguity as to the date of occurrence of any such event, Lender’s
judgment will be dispositive.
(c) Default Interest Rate. Any outstanding principal of any Advance and (to the
fullest extent permitted by law) any other amount payable by Borrowers under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document that is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration, or otherwise) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate for the period from and
including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Additionally, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default all outstanding and unpaid
principal amounts of all of the Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at the
Default Interest Rate until such time as Lender shall waive in writing the application of the Default
Interest Rate to such Event of Default situation. Interest payable at the Default Interest Rate shall
be payable from time to time on demand.
(d) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Advances and all other amounts payable
by Borrowers hereunder is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest
rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the
actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.
(e) Application of Payments. Except as expressly provided this Agreement to the
contrary, all payments on the Notes shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) the
payment or reimbursement of any Funding Loss, expenses, costs or obligations (other than the
outstanding principal balance hereof and interest hereon) for which Borrowers shall be obligated
or Lender shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; (b) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest hereon; and (c) the payment of all or
any portion of the principal balance of the Advances then outstanding hereunder. If an Event of
Default exists, then Lender may, at the sole option of Lender, apply any such payments, at any time
and from time to time, to any of the items specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above without regard 

	
	4834-9142-1879 v.10

 20
to the order of priority otherwise specified in this Section 2.02(e) and any application to the
outstanding principal balance hereof may be made in either direct or inverse order of maturity.
Payments by check or draft shall not constitute payment in immediately available funds until the
required amount is actually received by Lender. Payments in immediately available funds received
by Lender in the place designated for payment on a Business Day prior to 3:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas
time at said place of payment shall be credited prior to the close of business on the Business Day
received, while payments received by Lender on a day other than a Business Day or after 3:00 p.m.
Dallas, Texas time on a Business Day shall not be credited until the next succeeding Business Day.
If any payment of principal or interest on the Notes shall become due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Acceptance
by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the full amount then due shall be deemed an
acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due may become an Event
of Default. Borrowers agree that all payments of any Obligation due hereunder shall be final, and
if any such payment is recovered in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings instituted
by or against Borrowers, all obligations due hereunder shall be automatically reinstated in respect
of the obligation as to which payment is so recovered.
2.03 Unused Facility Fee. Borrowers agree to pay to Lender an unused facility fee on the daily
unused amount of the Commitment for the period from and including the date of this Agreement to and
including the Maturity Date, at the rate of 0.50% per annum based on a 360-day year and the actual number
of days elapsed. For the purpose of calculating the unused facility fee hereunder, the Commitment shall be
deemed utilized by the amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances. Accrued unused facility fees
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) Business Day of each April, July, October, and
January during the term of this Agreement and on the Maturity Date.
2.04 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances shall be used by
Borrowers to repay Debt, for working capital in the ordinary course of business and other general corporate
purposes.
2.05 Late Charges. If a payment required by this Agreement is more than ten (10) days late,
Borrowers will be charged 6.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $5.00,
whichever is greater.
2.06 Funding Loss. Borrowers shall pay to Lender any amounts required to compensate Lender
for any Funding Loss.
ARTICLE III.
PAYMENTS
3.01 Method of Payment. All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by
Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made in immediately available
funds in Dollars at the Principal Office (or at such other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may
have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrowers from time to time), without offset, in
lawful money of the United States of America, which shall at the time of payment be legal tender in payment
of all debts and dues, public and private. Payments by check or draft shall not constitute payment in
immediately available funds until the required amount is actually received by Lender in full. Payments in
immediately available funds received by Lender in the place designated for payment on a Business Day
prior to 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) at such place of payment shall be credited prior to the close of
business on the Business Day received, while payments received by Lender on a day other than a Business
Day or after 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on a Business Day shall not be credited until the next
succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest on the Notes shall become due and payable 

	
	4834-9142-1879 v.10

 21
on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
Any such extension of time for payment shall be included in computing interest which has accrued and
shall be payable in connection with such payment.
3.02 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrowers may prepay all or any portion of the Notes
at any time without fee, premium or penalty, all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance
hereof; provided, that, (i) such prepayment shall also include any and all accrued but unpaid interest
on the amount of principal being so prepaid through and including the date of prepayment, plus any
other sums which have become due to Lender under the other Loan Documents on or before the
date of prepayment, but which have not been fully paid and (ii) such prepayment shall also include
any Funding Loss. Prepayments shall be in a minimum of $10,000. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this paragraph, Borrowers must consult with Lender prior to making any prepayments when a
Hedge Agreement has been executed between Borrowers and Lender in connection with the Notes.
Borrowers acknowledge that partial prepayments of the Notes may require the Hedge Agreement
to be amended, and full prepayment will terminate the Hedge Agreement. Full and partial
prepayments will trigger an early termination valuation under the Hedge Agreement. Thus, an early
termination fee may occur under the Hedge Agreement upon partial and full prepayment of the
Notes. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, Borrowers shall remain obligated to pay
any fee due and owing under the Hedge Agreement, including but not limited to any fee owed upon
early termination of the Hedge Agreement.
(b) Mandatory Prepayment of Revolving Credit Advances. Borrowers must pay on
DEMAND the amount by which at any time the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit
Note exceeds the Borrowing Base.

instruments, including without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, as Lender, in
its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to create, evidence, preserve, and perfect its liens and

right to set off and apply against the Obligations in such manner as Lender may determine, at any time and
without notice to Borrowers, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to Borrowers whether or not the Obligations
are then due. As further security for the Obligations, Borrowers hereby grant to Lender a security interest

immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without
notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice

shall automatically terminate, and the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without
notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice

to Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and including the date of such

10.04 Equity Cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the last sentence of this
Section 10.04, the Borrowers may cure (and shall be deemed to have cured) (any such cure, an “Equity
Cure”) an Event of Default arising out of a breach of any of the financial covenants set forth in Sections
9.01, 9.02 or 9.03 (the “Specified Financial Covenants”) if (i) the Borrowers receive, within 10 Business
Days after the date on which the Specified Financial Covenants are first required to be tested pursuant to
the terms hereof, cash proceeds in an amount which, if treated as income for the preceding fiscal quarter,
would result in compliance with such Specified Financial Covenants, and (ii) Lender receives written notice
from the Borrowers that such payment has been made and that it is to be deemed an Equity Cure hereunder.
Upon any Equity Cure of a Specified Financial Covenant, any Event of Default that occurred and is
continuing from a breach of such Specified Financial Covenant shall be deemed cured with no further action
required by Lender. An Equity Cure may not be used to cure an Event of Default more than twice in any
calendar year (or be in an aggregate amount of such cash proceeds in any calendar year of more than
$2,000,000), or more than four times during the term of this Agreement (including any extension thereof),
or be in an amount greater than necessary to cure the Specified Financial Covenants.

be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same

11.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction

convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
11.16 Participations, Etc. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to grant
participations in, and sell and transfer, the Obligations and any Loan Documents; provided, that so long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall have the right to consent

Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, information required to be disclosed to a participant or assignee
pursuant to Banking Circular 181 (Rev., August 2, 1984), issued by the Comptroller of the Currency
(whether the actual or proposed participant or assignee is subject to the circular or not).

other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall

RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR
ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, 

	
	4834-9142-1879 v.10

 44
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.19.
11.20 Additional Interest Provision. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of
Borrowers and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum
rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by any Note, any Loan Document, and
the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to
contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the
applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged,
taken, reserved or received pursuant to any Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other
communication or writing by or between Borrowers and Lender related to the transaction or transactions
that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received
by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of any Note and/or any and all
indebtedness paid or payable by Borrowers to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document other than any Note
(such other indebtedness being referred to in this Section as the “Related Indebtedness”), or (iii) Borrowers
will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrowers of any
Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrowers’ and Lender’s express intent that all amounts
charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts
in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal
balance of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if any Note and all Related Indebtedness have
been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrowers), and the provisions of any Note and the other
Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder
and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with
the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and
thereunder; provided, however, if any Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of any
such Note, then Borrowers and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender
discovers or is advised by Borrowers that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum
Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrowers and/or credit such excess interest against such
Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrowers to Lender. Borrowers hereby agree that as
a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrowers will provide written
notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender
shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by
either refunding such excess interest to Borrowers or crediting such excess interest against the Note to
which the alleged violation relates and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrowers to Lender.
All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention
of any debt evidenced by any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of such Note
and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full
so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not
exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to such Note and/or the Related
Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas
Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply
to this Note and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of
any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time
of such acceleration. 

	
	4834-9142-1879 v.10

 45
11.21 Ceiling Election. To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance
Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on any such Note and/or any other portion of the
Obligations, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter
303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take,
receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States
federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate.
Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option
and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such
Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrowers as provided by
applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
11.22 USA Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the
requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of Borrowers and other information that
will allow Lender to identify Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act. Borrowers shall, promptly
following a request by Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Lender requests in
order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act. Lender will require the legal entity to provide
identifying information about each beneficial owner and/or individuals who have significant responsibility
to control, manage or direct the legal entity.
11.01 Intercreditor Legend. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Liens and
security interests securing the obligations evidenced by this agreement, the exercise of any right or remedy
with respect hereto and certain of the rights of the holder hereof are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented, substituted,
replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Intercreditor Agreement"), by and between
Silverpeak Credit Partners, LP (in its capacity as agent for the Silverpeak Facility Lenders and together
with its successors and assigns, the "Silverpeak Facility Agent"), for and on behalf of the Silverpeak
Facility Creditors and each other Silverpeak Facility Claimholder (each as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement) from time to time, and East West Bank, acting on behalf of each A/R Facility Claimholder
(each as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and this agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and
control."
