    Recitals:

     

    A. CoBank
(in its capacity as the Administrative Agent (sometimes also referred to herein
as the “Agent”), the
Syndication Parties signatory thereto, and Borrower have entered into that
certain 2006 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Convertible Revolving Loan
and Term Loan) dated as of September 21, 2006, that certain First Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated as of December 13, 2006, that certain Second Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated as of January 4, 2007, that certain Third Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated as of February 7, 2007, that certain Fourth Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated as of July 3, 2007, that certain Fifth Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated as of August 7, 2007, that certain Sixth Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated as of November 7, 2007, that certain Seventh Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated as of March 10, 2008, and that certain Eighth Amendment
to Credit Agreement dated as of May 1, 2008 (as so amended and as amended,
modified, or supplemented from time to time in the future, the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to
which the Syndication Parties, and any entity which becomes a Syndication Party
on or after September 21, 2006, have extended certain credit facilities to
Borrower under the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit
Agreement.

     

    B. Borrower
expects that certain Potential Defaults and Events of Default either exist or
will exist as a result of (a) the Borrower’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at
September 30, 2008 failing to meet the requirements of Section 10.12.5 of
the Credit Agreement, an Event of Default described in  Section 13.1(d) of
the Credit Agreement, and (b) Borrower failing to maintain compliance with the
Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 8, 2007 by and
among Borrower, Bank of Montreal, as Agent, and the other Lenders party thereto
(together with related loan documents the “BMO Credit Agreement”) as
required by Section
10.4 of the Credit Agreement, Event of Defaults described in Section 13.1(d), and
Section 13.1(g)
of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Subject
Defaults”).  Borrower has requested that the Agent and the
Syndication Parties temporarily waive the Subject Defaults which the Agent and
the Syndication Parties are willing to do under the terms and conditions as set
forth in this Limited Duration Waiver of Potential Defaults and Events of
Default under Credit Agreement (“Limited Duration
Waiver”).

     

     

    Agreement:

     

    Now,
therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

     

    1. Limited Duration Waiver; Related
Agreements.

     

    1.1 Borrower
acknowledges that the Subject Defaults cannot be cured, that the Agent and the
Syndication Parties do not waive (temporarily or permanently) their rights
powers and remedies under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents with
respect to any Potential Default or Event of Default other than the Subject
Defaults.  The waiver of the Subject Defaults shall become null and
void on the expiration date of the Waiver Period and from and after such
expiration date the Agent and the Syndication Parties shall have all rights and
remedies available to them as a result of the occurrence of the Subject Default
as though this waiver had never been granted.

     

    1.2 Except as
provided in this Subsection 1.2 of this Limited Duration Waiver, the Agent and
the Syndication Parties reserves the right to exercise any and all of their
rights, powers and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including the right to cease making Loans, and the right to
accelerate the maturity of all outstanding Bank Debt.  Provided that
the following conditions are satisfied and/or remain satisfied, as the case may
be, the Agent and the Syndication Parties agree to waive the Subject Defaults
and shall, with respect to the Subject Defaults (but not with respect to any
other Potential Default or Event of Default that may be existing or that may
occur), not exercise their rights, powers and remedies under the Credit
Agreement or the other Loan Documents through and including October 28, 2008
(the “Waiver
Period”):

     

    (a)           The
Agent (or its counsel) shall have the right to engage on behalf of the
Syndication Parties a financial advisor, selected by the Agent and acceptable to
the Syndication Parties, to review, evaluate and advise the Agent and the
Syndication Parties as to the reports, analyses and cash flow forecasts and
other materials prepared by Borrower’s financial consultants relating to the
financial condition, operating performance, and business prospects of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries and to perform such other information gathering or
evaluation acts as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, and the reasonable
costs and expenses of such financial advisor shall be borne by Borrower and
constitute part of Borrower’s obligations outstanding under the Credit
Agreement.  The Company shall take reasonable steps to make available
to such financial advisor and its representatives such information respecting
the financial condition, operating performance, and business prospects of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested and shall make
Borrower’s financial consultants, officers, employees, and independent public
accountants available with reasonable prior notice to discuss such information
with such financial advisor and its representatives. 

     

    (b)           Borrower
shall provide to the Agent and the Syndication Parties a 13-week cash flow
forecast (the “Forecast”) showing projected
cash receipts and cash disbursements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries over the
following 13-week period, together with a reconciliation of actual cash receipts
and cash disbursements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries from the prior week
against the cash flow forecast previously furnished to the Agent and the
Syndication Parties and showing any deviations on a cumulative basis), prepared
by Borrower and in form and substance, and with such detail, as the Agent may
request. The first Forecast after the date hereof shall be provided to the Agent
and the Syndication Parties no later than 5:00 p.m., Central time, on Monday,
October 6, 2008.  Thereafter, each Forecast shall be provided to
the Agent and the Syndication Parties no later than 5:00 p.m., Central time, on
Wednesday of each week (beginning October 15, 2008).

     

    (c)           During
the Waiver Period, unless approved by the Required Lenders and the requisite number of lenders under the BMO Credit
Agreement, Borrower shall have at all times undrawn commitments under the
Credit Agreement and the BMO Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount not less
than $100,000,000.

     

    (d)           No later than the 14th day after the date the BMO
Intercreditor Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties thereto,
Borrower shall grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Syndication
Parties, valid, enforceable liens and security interests on all of the
collateral securing the BMO Credit Agreement, subject to the liens and security
interests granted to BMO in such property.  This additional collateral
shall be Collateral under the Credit Agreement and subject to the terms of the
Credit Agreement applicable to Collateral generally.  The Company
shall pay all taxes, costs, and expenses incurred by the Agent in obtaining and
perfecting such security interests and shall supply to the Agent at Borrower’s
cost and expense such board resolutions and other instruments, documents,
certificates, and opinions reasonably required by the Agent in connection
therewith.

     

    (e)           During
the Waiver Period Borrower shall obtain loans under the Credit Agreement and the
BMO Credit Agreement, and shall repay loans under
the Credit Agreement and the BMO Credit Agreement, only on a pro rata
basis, determined on the basis of the undrawn amount of the commitments under
each of the two credit agreements at the close of business in Chicago, Illinois,
on September 24, 2008.  During the Waiver Period Borrower shall use
its best efforts to fully utilize the funding available under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement.

     

    (f)           No
later than October 24, 2008, Borrower’s senior management and its financial
advisors shall meet with the Agent and the Syndication Parties and their
financial advisors to discuss Borrower’s business and financial affairs and such
matters as the Syndication Parties or the Agent may request.

     

    (g)           None
of the following shall have occurred: (i) the Limited Duration Waiver by and
among Borrower, Bank of Montreal, as agent under the BMO Credit Agreement and
the other parties thereto, of substantially even date with this Limited Duration
Waiver (the “BMO Limited
Duration Waiver”) shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in
full force and effect or is declared to be null and void, or Bank of Montreal or
any other party to the BMO Credit Agreement takes any action for the purpose of
terminating, repudiating or rescinding the BMO Limited Duration Waiver or any of
its obligations thereunder; (ii) the Fairway Limited Duration Waiver (as
defined below) shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in full force
and effect or is declared to be null and void, or the Securitization Agent (as
defined below) or any other party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as
of June 26, 1998, among Pilgrim’s Pride Funding Corporation, as Seller,
Borrower, as Servicer, Fairway Finance Company, LLC, as Purchaser, and BMO
Capital Markets Corp., as Agent (the “Securitization Agent”), as
amended, supplemented and otherwise modified (as so amended,
supplemented and otherwise modified, the “Receivables Purchase
Agreement”), takes any action for the purpose of terminating, repudiating
or rescinding the Fairway Limited Duration Waiver or any of its obligations
thereunder; or (iii) the BMO Intercreditor Agreement, or any part thereof,
shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in full force and effect or is
declared to be null and void, or Bank of Montreal, as agent under the BMO Credit
Agreement, or any other lender under the BMO Credit Agreement, takes any action
for the purpose of terminating, repudiating or rescinding the BMO Credit
Agreement or any of its obligations thereunder.

     

    1.3 The
Syndication Parties hereby consent to the granting by Borrower to Bank of
Montreal, as agent under the BMO Credit Agreement, of a security interest in all
Collateral granted to the Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, provided that such security
interest shall be subject and subordinate to the Agent’s security interests
therein pursuant to an intercreditor agreement, that provides, among other things, that all of the
subordinated liens and security interests granted by Borrower to the parties
thereto may not be enforced without the approval of the holder of the senior
liens and security interests in the same property and that shall otherwise
be acceptable in form and substance to the Agent, between the Agent and
Bank of Montreal, as agent under the BMO Credit Agreement (the “BMO Intercreditor
Agreement”).  The Syndication Parties hereby irrevocably
authorize the Agent to execute and deliver the BMO Intercreditor Agreement on
behalf of each of the Syndication Parties and to take such action and exercise
such powers under the BMO Intercreditor Agreement as the Agent considers
appropriate, provided the Agent shall not amend the BMO Intercreditor Agreement
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 BMO Intercreditor Agreement upon the execution
and delivery thereof by the Agent.  Except as otherwise specifically
provided for herein, no Lender, other than the Agent, shall have the right to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the enforcement
of any remedy under the BMO Intercreditor Agreement; it being understood and
intended that no one or more of the Syndication Parties shall have any right in
any manner whatsoever to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings
at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Agent for
the benefit of the Syndication Parties.

     

    1.4 Notwithstanding
the terms of Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement and related terms in other
Sections of the Credit Agreement, during the Waiver Period Borrower shall not
have the right to convert any portion of the outstanding balance under the
Revolving Loan into a non-revolving term loan (referred to in the Credit
Agreement as a Voluntary Converted Loan).

     

    1.5 Notwithstanding
the terms of Section 10.18 of the Credit Agreement and related terms in other
Sections of the Credit Agreement, during the Waiver Period Borrower shall not
have the right to include additional Collateral in the Available
Amount.

     

    1.6 Section
10.18 is amended by the addition of a new clause (f) to read as
follows:

     

    (f)           As
soon as practicable (with respect to each such property) and in no event later
than November 30, 2008 (with respect all such properties), Borrower shall
execute and deliver a deed of trust or mortgage and assignment of leases and
rents with respect to Borrower’s interest in each unencumbered property of
Borrower having a book value of $10,000,000 or more that, when subject to such
deed of trust or mortgage and assignment of leases and rents, shall constitute
Collateral and shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent or a mortgage trustee, in each
case for the benefit of the Syndication Parties, granting a lien of record on
said property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and such property shall
thereafter be part of the Collateral, but, shall not be Additional Property and
shall not be considered in the determination of the Available
Amount.  Subsection 10.18(d) shall not apply to the execution and
delivery of deeds of trust or mortgages and assignments of leases and rents as
described in this Subsection 10.18(f).  With respect to each such
property and with respect to each deed of trust or mortgage and assignment of
leases and rents with respect thereto, Borrower shall, together with each such
deed of trust or mortgage, have provided to the Administrative Agent a
commitment for title insurance (or the equivalent thereof in the form of a title
report or an owners and encumbrance report) issued by a title company acceptable
to the Administrative Agent.  No title insurance policy, appraisals,
surveys, environmental assessments reports or legal opinions shall be required
with respect to such property.

Duration Waiver is subject to satisfaction, in the Administrative Agent’s sole
discretion, of each of the following conditions precedent:

Banks currently extend credit to the Borrowers on the terms and conditions set
forth in that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Secured Credit Agreement dated
as of February 8, 2007, as amended, by and among the Borrowers, the Banks,

hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Default”).

     

    C.The

the period ending October 28, 2008, and the Required Banks are willing to
do so subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement.

     

    Now,
Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1.Incorporation of Recitals; Defined
Terms.  The Borrowers acknowledge that the Recitals set forth
above are true and correct in all material respects.  The defined

    3.Limited Duration

Agreement, the Required Banks waive the Subject Default but only for the period

Date”).  The foregoing waiver shall become null and void on the
Scheduled Waiver Expiration Date and from and after the Scheduled Waiver
Expiration Date the Agent and the Banks shall have all rights and remedies

    4.Additional
Agreements.  The Borrower further agrees
that:  

     

    (a)The
Agent (or its counsel) shall have the right to engage on behalf of the Banks a
financial advisor, selected by the Agent and acceptable to the Required Banks,
to review, evaluate and advise the Agent and the Banks as to the reports,
analyses and cash flow forecasts and other materials prepared by the Company’s
financial consultants relating to the financial condition, operating
performance, and business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to
perform such other information gathering or evaluation acts as may be reasonably
requested by the Agent, and the reasonable costs and expenses of such financial
advisor shall be borne by the Company and constitute part of the Company’s
obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement.  The Company shall
take reasonable steps to make available to such financial advisor and its
representatives such information respecting the financial condition, operating
performance, and business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may
be reasonably requested and shall make the Company’s financial consultants,
officers, employees, and independent public accountants available with
reasonable prior notice to discuss such information with such financial advisor
and its representatives. 

     

    (b)The
Company shall provide to the Agent and the Banks a 13-week cash flow forecast
(the “Forecast”)
showing projected cash receipts and cash disbursements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries over the following 13-week period, together with a reconciliation
of actual cash receipts and cash disbursements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries from the prior week against the cash flow forecast previously
furnished to the Agent and the Banks and showing any deviations on a cumulative
basis), prepared by the Company and in form and substance, and with such detail,
as the Agent may request.  The first Forecast after the date hereof
shall be provided to the Agent and the Banks no later than 5:00 p.m., Central
time, on Monday, October 6, 2008.  Thereafter, each Forecast
shall be provided to the Agent and the Banks no later than 5:00 p.m., Central
time, on Wednesday of each week (beginning October 15, 2008).

     

    (c)During
the Waiver Period, unless approved by the Required Banks and the requisite
number of lenders under the CoBank Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall have at
all times undrawn commitments under the Credit Agreement and the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 21, 2006, among the Company,
CoBank, ACB, as Administrative, Documentation and Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the present and future Syndication Parties and as a Syndication
Party, Lead Arranger and Book Manager thereunder (“CoBank”), Farm Credit
Services of America, FLCA, as Co-Arranger and as a Syndication Party, and the
other Syndication Parties party thereto, as amended, supplemented, restated and
otherwise modified from time to time (as so amended, supplemented, restated and
otherwise modified from time to time, the “CoBank Credit Agreement”) in
an aggregate amount not less than $100,000,000.

     

    (d)No
later than October 13, 2008, the Company shall grant to the Agent for the
benefit of the Banks a valid, enforceable, first priority security interest in
all of its present and future accounts (as defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of Illinois) and payment intangibles and related property and
the proceeds thereof (other than Receivables (as defined in the Receivables
Purchase Agreement) that have been transferred to a Receivables Securitization
Program, but including Receivables that have not been transferred to a
Receivables Securitization Program and Receivables that have been reconveyed to
the Company by a Receivables Securitization Program) pursuant to documentation
acceptable in form and substance to the Agent as additional collateral for the
Borrower’s indebtedness, obligations and liabilities currently secured by the
Security Agreement, provided that such security
interest and the documentation pursuant to which it is granted shall not
interfere or limit in any way the Company’s ability to sell its accounts
receivable  pursuant to its Receivables Securitization Program or
cause the Company to violate the terms of the Receivables Securitization
Program.  The Company shall pay all taxes, costs, and expenses
incurred by the Agent in obtaining and perfecting such security interests and
shall supply to the Agent at the Company’s cost and expense such board
resolutions and other instruments, documents, certificates, and opinions
reasonably required by the Agent in connection therewith.

     

    (e)The
Required Banks hereby agree that any Receivables sold by the Company pursuant to
a Receivables Securitization Program are not and will not be subject to any
security interest granted by the Company to the Agent and do not constitute part
of the collateral security for the Company’s indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities to Agent and the Banks, unless and until such Receivables are
reconveyed or otherwise reacquired by the Company.

     

    (f)No
later than the 14th day after the date the CoBank Intercreditor Agreement (as
defined below) is executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the Company
shall grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks valid, enforceable liens
and security interests on all of the collateral securing the CoBank Credit
Agreement (the “CoBank
Collateral”), including without limitation mortgages or deeds of trust on
all real property, buildings and improvements on which CoBank presently has or
hereafter obtains a mortgage or deed of trust (other than IRB Collateral (as
defined below)), subject to the liens and security interests granted to CoBank
in such property or permitted under the CoBank Credit Agreement and the Loan
Documents (as defined in the CoBank Credit Agreement).  In the case of
any CoBank Collateral that is subject or requires a consent or an approval by
any person in respect of any industrial revenue bonds, notes, debentures or
similar instruments issued by a governmental entity (the “IRB Collateral”), the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as soon as reasonably
practical, grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks valid, enforceable
liens and security interests on all of such IRB Collateral securing the CoBank
Credit Agreement, including without limitation mortgages or deeds of trust on
all real property, buildings and improvements on which CoBank presently has or
hereafter obtains a mortgage or deed of trust on such IRB Collateral, subject to
the liens and security interests granted to CoBank in such property or permitted
under the CoBank Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the
CoBank Credit Agreement).  The Company shall pay all taxes, costs, and
expenses incurred by the Agent in obtaining and perfecting such security
interests and shall supply to the Agent at the Company’s cost and expense such
board resolutions and other instruments, documents, certificates, and opinions
reasonably required by the Agent in connection therewith. 

     

    (g)During
the Waiver Period the Company shall obtain loans under the Credit Agreement and
the CoBank Credit Agreement, and shall repay loans under the Credit Agreement
and the CoBank Credit Agreement, only on a pro rata basis, determined on the
basis of the undrawn amount of the commitments under each of the two credit
agreements at the close of business in Chicago, Illinois, on September 24, 2008,
as stated in Section 8(f) hereof.

     

    (h)No
later than October 24, 2008, the Company’s senior management and its
financial advisors shall meet with the Agent and the Banks and their financial
advisors to discuss the Company’s business and financial affairs and such
matters as the Banks or the Agent may request.

     

    (i)The
Required Banks hereby consent to the granting by the Company to CoBank, as agent
under the CoBank Credit Agreement, of a security interest in all Collateral
granted to the Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement and Section 4(d) of
this Agreement, provided that such security
interest shall be subject and subordinate to the Agent’s security interests
therein pursuant to an intercreditor agreement that provides, among other
things, that all of the subordinated liens and security interests granted by the
Company to the parties thereto may not be enforced without the approval of the
holder of the senior liens and security interests in the same property and that
shall otherwise be acceptable in form and substance to the Agent, between the
Agent and CoBank, as agent under the CoBank Credit Agreement (the “CoBank Intercreditor
Agreement”).

     

    5.Waiver
Termination.  As used in this Agreement, “Waiver Termination” shall
mean the occurrence of the Scheduled Waiver Expiration Date, or, if earlier, the
occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (a) any Potential
Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, in each case other than
the Subject Default; (b) any failure by the Company for any reason to
comply with any term, condition, or provision contained in this Agreement;
(c) any representation made by the Company in this Agreement or pursuant to
it proves to be incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made;
(d) the CoBank Limited Duration Waiver (as defined in Section 12(b)
hereof) shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in full force and
effect or is declared to be null and void, or CoBank or any other party to the
CoBank Credit Agreement takes any action for the purpose of terminating,
repudiating or rescinding the CoBank Limited Duration Waiver or any of its
obligations thereunder; (e) the Fairway Limited Duration Waiver (as defined
in Section 12(c) hereof) shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be
in full force and effect or is declared to be null and void, or the
Securitization Agent (as defined below) or any other party to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement dated as of June 26, 1998, among Pilgrim’s Pride Funding
Corporation, as Seller, the Company, as Servicer, Fairway Finance Company, LLC,
as Purchaser, and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Agent (the “Securitization Agent”), as
amended, supplemented and otherwise modified (as so amended,
supplemented and otherwise modified, the “Receivables Purchase
Agreement”), takes any action for the purpose of terminating, repudiating
or rescinding the Fairway Limited Duration Waiver or any of its obligations
thereunder; or (f) the CoBank Intercreditor Agreement, or any part thereof,
shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in full force and effect or is
declared to be null and void, or CoBank, as agent under the CoBank Credit
Agreement, or any other lender under the CoBank Credit Agreement, takes any
action for the purpose of terminating, repudiating or rescinding the CoBank
Credit Agreement or any of its obligations thereunder.  Upon the
occurrence of a Waiver Termination, the Waiver Period is automatically
terminated and the Banks are then permitted and entitled, with respect to the
Subject Default and any other Event of Default then in existence, under
Sections 6.2, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 of the Credit Agreement, among other
things, to decline to provide additional credit to the Borrowers, to permanently
terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments, to accelerate the Borrowers’
indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents, to require
cash collateral for outstanding L/Cs, and to exercise any other rights and
remedies that may be available under the Loan Documents or applicable
law.

     

    6.Limited Waiver and Reservation of
Rights.  The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that immediately
upon expiration or termination of the Waiver Period, the Agent and the Banks
have all of their rights and remedies with respect to the Subject Default to the
same extent, and with the same force and effect, as if the waiver contained
herein had not been granted.  The Borrowers will not assert and hereby
forever waives any right to assert that the Agent or the Banks are obligated in
any way to continue to waive the Subject Default beyond the Waiver Period or to
forbear from enforcing their rights or remedies with respect to the Subject
Default after the Waiver Period or that the Agent and the Banks are not entitled
to act on the Subject Default after the occurrence of a Waiver Termination as if
such default had just occurred and the Waiver Period had never
existed.  The Borrowers acknowledge that the Banks have made no
representations as to what actions, if any, the Banks will take after the Waiver
Period or upon the occurrence of any Waiver Termination, Potential Default or
Event of Default, and the Banks and the Agent must and do hereby specifically
reserve any and all rights, remedies, and claims they have (after giving effect
hereto) with respect to the Subject Default and each other Potential Default or
Event of Default that may occur.  

     

    7.Acknowledgement of
Liens.  The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that all
indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers, or any of them,
owing to the Agent and the Banks arising out of or in any manner relating to the
Loan Documents, as well as all Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit
Account Liability, shall continue to be secured by liens and security interests
on all of the Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents heretofore or hereafter
executed and delivered by the Company, and nothing herein
contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens and
security interests created and provided for thereby as to the indebtedness,
obligations, and liabilities which would be secured thereby prior to giving
effect to this Agreement. 

     

    8.Representations and

(ii) contravene or constitute a default under any covenant, indenture or
agreement of or affecting any Borrower or any of its Property;

     

    (c)the
obligations of each Borrower and the Guarantor under this Agreement and each of

creditors’ rights generally) and subsisting and not subject to set-off, defense
(other than payment) or counterclaim;

     

    (d)no

Agreement, each Borrower hereby releases the Agent and each Bank, its current
and former shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys,
consultants, and professional advisors (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and
from any and all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, controversies, acts
and omissions, liabilities, and other claims of every kind or nature whatsoever,
both in law and in equity, known or unknown, which such Borrower has or ever had
against the Released Parties from the beginning of the world to this date
arising in any way out of the existing financing arrangements between the
Borrowers and the Banks, and each Borrower further acknowledges that, as of the
date hereof, it does not have any counterclaim, set-off, or defense against the
Released Parties, each of which each Borrower hereby expressly
waives.

     

    10.Loan Documents Remain

Waiver”), provided that the CoBank Limited Duration Waiver may require

Banks hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to execute and deliver
(a) such amendments (including an amendment and restatement) to the
Security Agreement or such other security agreements as the Agent may deem
appropriate to obtain the security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable
and related property pursuant to Section 4(d) of this Agreement without
interfering or limiting in any way the Company’s ability to sell its accounts
receivable  pursuant to its Receivables Securitization Program and
such security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments as the
Agent may deem appropriate to obtain the liens and security interests
contemplated by Section 4(f) of this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Security
Documents”), and (b) the CoBank Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of
each of the Banks and their Affiliates and the L/C Issuers and to take such
action and exercise such powers under the Additional Security Documents and the
CoBank Intercreditor Agreement as the Agent considers appropriate, provided the Agent shall not
amend Additional Security Documents or the CoBank Intercreditor Agreement unless
such amendment is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders.  Each
Bank and L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the
terms and conditions of the CoBank Intercreditor Agreement upon the execution
and delivery thereof by the Agent.  Except as otherwise specifically
provided for herein, no Bank (or its Affiliates) or L/C Issuer, other than
the Agent, shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law for the enforcement of any remedy under the Additional Security
Documents or the CoBank Intercreditor Agreement; it being understood and
intended that no one or more of the Banks (or their Affiliates) or
L/C Issuer shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any
right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be
instituted, had, and maintained by the Agent for the benefit of the Banks, the
L/C Issuers, and their Affiliates.  The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that each of the Additional Security Documents and the
CoBank Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes
of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     

    14.Miscellaneous.  By
its acceptance hereof, the Borrower hereby represents that it has the necessary
power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform the undertakings contained
herein, and that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of
the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.  Any
provision of this Agreement held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provision hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties
hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall constitute a Loan
Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, the provisions
of this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Waiver
Period.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by
different parties on separate counterpart signature pages, each of which
constitutes an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the
same instrument.  Delivery of executed counterparts of this Agreement
by telecopy shall be effective as an original.  This Agreement shall
be governed by Illinois law and shall be governed and interpreted on the same
basis as the Credit Agreement.

    Reaffirmation,
Acknowledgement, and Consent of Guarantor

     

    The
undersigned, Pilgrim Interests, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (the “Guarantor”), has executed
and delivered a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement dated as of
February 8, 2007 (the “Guaranty”) to the
Banks.  As an additional inducement to and in consideration of the
Banks’ acceptance of the Limited Duration Waiver Agreement dated as of
September 26, 2008 (the “Limited Duration Waiver”),
the Guarantor hereby agrees with the Banks as follows:

     

    1.The
Guarantor consents to the execution of the Limited Duration Waiver by the
Borrowers and acknowledges that this consent is not required under the terms of
the Guaranty and that the execution hereof by the Guarantor shall not be
construed to require the Banks to obtain the Guarantor’s consent to any future
amendment, modification or waiver of any term of the Credit Agreement except as
otherwise provided in said Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby agrees that
the Guaranty shall apply to all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the
Borrowers to the Banks, the Agent and the L/C Issuers under the Credit
Agreement. The Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranty shall be and remain in
full force and effect.

     

    2.All
terms used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Limited Duration Waiver,
unless otherwise expressly defined herein.

of September 26, 2008.
