          of accrued interest on the amount prepaid, and a prepayment fee as
          described below. A "prepayment" is a payment of an amount on a date
          earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by
          this Agreement.

          (f)  The prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate
     the Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the
     prepayment, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or
     expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by
     it to maintain such Portion or from fees payable to terminate the deposits
     from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any
     customary administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the
     foregoing. For purposes of this Section, the Bank shall be deemed to have
     funded each Portion by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the
     applicable interbank market, whether or not such Portion was in fact so
     funded.

                                      -8-

     (g)  The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for an IBOR
Rate Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is
continuing:

          (i)  Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to
      the interest period, of an IBOR Rate Portion are not available in the
      offshore dollar inter-bank market; or

          (ii) the IBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of an IBOR
      Rate Portion.

     5.5  LIBOR Rate.  The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the
          ----------
following terms and requirements:

          (a)  The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect
will be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or
twelve months. The first day of the interest period must be a day other than a
Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for business in California, New
York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a "LIBOR Banking Day"). The
last day of the interest period and the actual number of days during the
interest period will be determined by the Bank using the practices of the London
inter-bank market.

          (b)  Each LIBOR Rate portion will be for an amount not less than Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

          (c)  The "LIBOR Rate" means the interest rate determined by the
following formula, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. (All
amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of
the interest period.)

                    LIBOR Rate =  London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
                                  ------------------------------
                                    (1.00 - Reserve Percentage)

Where,

               (i) "London Inter-Bank Offered Rate" means the average per annum
     interest rate at which U.S. dollar deposits would be offered for the
     applicable interest period by major banks in the London inter-bank market,
     as shown on the Telerate Page 3750 (or such other page as may replace it)
     at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days before
     the commencement of the interest period. If such rate does not appear on
     the Telerate Page 3750 (or such other page that may replace it), the rate
     for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as
     reasonably selected by the Bank. A "London Banking Day" is a day on which
     the Bank's London Branch is open for business and dealing in offshore
     dollars.

               (ii) "Reserve Percentage" means the total of the maximum reserve
     percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks
     of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in
     Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of
     one percent. The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will
     include, but not

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other
     reserve percentages.

          (d) The Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate portion no
     later than 12:00 noon San Francisco time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding
     the day on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as
     specified above.

          (e) The Borrower may not elect a LIBOR Rate with respect to any
     principal amount which is scheduled to be repaid before the last day of the
     applicable interest period.

          (f) Any portion of the principal balance already bearing interest at
     the LIBOR Rate will not be converted to a different rate during its
     interest period.

          (g) Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate portion, whether voluntary, by
     reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of
     accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described
     below.  A "prepayment" is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the
     scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.  The
     prepayment fee shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which:

              (i) the additional interest which would have been payable during
          the interest period on the amount prepaid had it not been prepaid,
          exceeds

              (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank
          by placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the domestic certificate
          of deposit market, the eurodollar deposit market, or other appropriate
          money market selected by the Bank, for a period starting on the date
          on which it was prepaid and ending on the last day of the interest
          period for such portion (or the scheduled payment date for the amount
          prepaid, if earlier).

          (h) The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR
     Rate portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is
     continuing:

              (i) Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal
          to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate portion are not available in
          the London inter-bank market; or

              (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a
          LIBOR Rate portion.

6.   FEES, EXPENSES AND COSTS

     6.1  Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on any
          ---------------------

Commitment and the amount of credit it actually uses under such facilities,
determined by the weighted average credit outstanding during the specified

     6.2  Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to immediately repay the Bank for
          --------
expenses that include, but are not limited to, filing, recording and search
fees, appraisal fees, title report fees, and documentation fees.

     6.3  Reimbursement Costs.
          -------------------

          (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it
     incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument
     required by this Agreement.  Expenses include, but are not limited to,
     reasonable attorneys' fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank's in-

     audits and appraisals may be performed by employees of the Bank or by
     independent appraisers.

7.   COLLATERAL

     7.1  Personal Property.  The Borrower's and the Subsidiary Borrower's
          -----------------
respective obligations to the Bank under this Agreement will be secured by
personal property the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower now own or will own
in the future as listed below.  The collateral is further defined in security
agreements executed by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower.  In addition,
all personal property collateral securing this Agreement shall also secure all
other present and future obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower
to the Bank (excluding any consumer credit covered by the federal Truth in
Lending law, unless the Borrower and or the Subsidiary Borrower have otherwise
agreed in writing).  All personal property collateral securing any other present
or future obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower to the Bank
shall also secure this Agreement.  Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower hereby
confirm and regrant to the Bank a security interest in and to their respective

          (a) Machinery, equipment, and fixtures;

          (b) Inventory;

          (c) Accounts, accounts Receivable;

          (d) Patents, trademarks and other general intangibles; and

the Bank under this Agreement.  Each of them agrees to assemble all such
collateral upon default at a location to be designated by the Bank.

8.   DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS

     8.1  Requests for Credit.  Each request for an extension of credit will be
          -------------------
made in writing in a manner acceptable to the Bank, or by another means
acceptable to the Bank.

     8.2  Disbursements and Payments.  Each disbursement by the Bank and each
          --------------------------
payment by the Borrower will be:

          (a) made at the Bank's branch (or other location) selected by the Bank
     from time to time;

          (b) made for the account of the Bank's branch selected by the Bank
     from time to time;

          (c) made in immediately available funds, or such other type of funds
     selected by the Bank;

          (d) evidenced by records kept by the Bank.  In addition, the Bank may,
     at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or more promissory
     notes.

     8.3  Telephone and Telefax Authorization.
          -----------------------------------

          (a) The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances
     or repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates and telefax
     requests for the issuance of letters of credit given by any one of the
     individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower
     and or the Subsidiary Borrower, or any other individual designated by any
     one of such authorized signers.

          (b) Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn
     from the Borrower's account number 12331-16650 and Subsidiary Borrower's
     account number 14593-08216, or such other of the Borrower's accounts with
     the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower.  The Subsidiary Borrower
     confirms that all advances made by the Bank for its account may be
     deposited by the Bank in this manner.

          (c) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower each indemnifies
     and excuses the Bank (including its officers, employees, and agents) from
     all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from
     telephone or telefax instructions it reasonably believes are made by any
     individual authorized by the Borrower or the Subsidiary Borrower to give
     such instructions.  This indemnity and excuse will survive this Agreement's
     termination.

     11.4 Direct Debit (Pre-Billing).
          --------------------------

          (a) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower agrees that the
     Bank will debit the Borrower's deposit account number 12331-16650 and
     Subsidiary Borrower's deposit account number 14593-08216, or such other of
     the Borrower's

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

     accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower (the
     "Designated Account") on the date each payment of principal and interest
     and any fees from the Borrower or the Subsidiary Borrower becomes due (the
     "Due Date"). If the Due Date is not a banking day, the Designated Account
     will be debited on the next banking day.

          (b) Approximately 10 days prior to each Due Date, the Bank will mail
     to the Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due
     Date (the "Billed Amount").  The calculation will be made on the assumption
     that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the date
     of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no
     changes in the applicable interest rate.

          (c) The Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount,
     regardless of the actual amount due on that date (the "Accrued Amount").
     If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account differs from the
     Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as follows:

               (i)  If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the
          Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the
          amount of the discrepancy. The Borrower will not be in default by
          reason of any such discrepancy.

               (ii) If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the
          Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the
          amount of the discrepancy.

     Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based
     on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding.  The
     Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any overpayment.

          (d) The Borrower will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated
     Account to cover each debit.  If there are insufficient funds in the
     Designated Account on the date the Bank enters any debit authorized by this
     Agreement, the debit will be reversed.

     8.5  Banking Days.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking
          ------------
day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for
business in California.  For amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if
any), a banking day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank
is open for business in California and dealing in offshore dollars.  All
payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking
day will be due on the next banking day.  All payments received on a day which
is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.  For
amounts bearing interest at a LIBOR Rate, a banking day is a day other than a
Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for business in California, New
York and London and dealing in offshore dollars.

     8.6  Taxes.  If any payments to the Bank under this Agreement are made from
          -----
outside the United States, the Borrower will not deduct any foreign taxes from
any payments it makes to the Bank.  If any such taxes are imposed on any
payments made by the Borrower (including payments under this Section), the
Borrower will pay the taxes and will also pay to the Bank, at the time interest
is paid, any additional amount which the Bank specifies as necessary to preserve
the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such taxes had not been

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

imposed. The Borrower will confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank
official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within 30 days after the due date.

     8.7  Additional Costs.  The Borrower will pay the Bank, on demand, for the
          ----------------
Bank's costs or losses arising from any statute or regulation, or any request or
requirement of a regulatory agency which is applicable to all national banks or
a class of all national banks.  The costs and losses will be allocated to the
loan in a manner determined by the Bank, using any reasonable method.  The costs
include the following:

          (a) any reserve or deposit requirements; and

          (b) any capital requirements relating to the Bank's assets and
     commitments for credit.

     8.8  Interest Calculation.  Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement,
          --------------------
all interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
and the actual number of days elapsed.  This results in more interest or a
higher fee than if a 365-day year is used.

     8.9  Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
          ------------
default under this Agreement, principal amounts outstanding under this Agreement
will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is two (2.00)
percentage points higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this
Agreement.  This will not constitute a waiver of any default.  Installments of
principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to
bear interest until paid.  Any interest, fees or costs which are not paid when
due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two (2.00) percentage points.
This may result in compounding of interest.

     14.4  Arbitration.
           -----------

           (a)  This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or
     claims between the Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrower and the Bank,
     including but not limited to those that arise from:

                (i)    This Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or
           modifications of this Agreement);

                (ii)   Any document, agreement or procedure related to or
           delivered in connection with this Agreement;

                (iii)  Any violation of this Agreement; or

                (iv)   Any claims for damages resulting from any business
           conducted between the Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrower and the Bank,

           (b)  At the request of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrower or the
     Bank, any such controversies or claims will be settled by arbitration in
     accordance with the United

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

     States Arbitration Act. The United States Arbitration Act will apply even
     though this Agreement provides that it is governed by California law.

           (c)  Arbitration proceedings will be administered by the American
     Arbitration Association and will be subject to its commercial rules of
     arbitration.

           (d)  For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations,
     the filing of an arbitration pursuant to this paragraph is the equivalent
     of the filing of a lawsuit, and any claim or controversy which may be
     arbitrated under this paragraph is subject to any applicable statute of
     limitations. The arbitrators will have the authority to decide whether any
     such claim or controversy is barred by the statute of limitations and, if
     so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis.

           (e)  If there is a dispute as to whether an issue is arbitrable, the
     arbitrators will have the authority to resolve any such dispute.

           (f)  The decision that results from an arbitration proceeding may be
     submitted to any authorized court of law to be confirmed and enforced.

           (g)  The procedure described above will not apply if the controversy
     or claim, at the time of the proposed submission to arbitration, arises
     from or relates to an obligation to the Bank secured by real property
     located in California. In this case, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrower
     and the Bank must consent to submission of the claim or controversy to
     arbitration. If both parties do not consent to arbitration, the controversy
     or claim will be settled as follows:

                (i)   The Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrower and the Bank will
           designate a referee (or a panel of referees) selected under the
           auspices of the American Arbitration Association in the same manner
           as arbitrators are selected in Association-sponsored proceedings;

                (ii)  The designated referee (or the panel of referees) will be
           appointed by a court as provided in California Code of Civil
           Procedure Section 638 and the following related sections;

                (iii) The referee (or the presiding referee of the panel) will
           be an active attorney or a retired judge; and

                (iv)  The award that results from the decision of the referee
           (or the panel) will be entered as a judgment in the court that
           appointed the referee, in accordance with the provisions of
           California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.

           (h)  This provision does not limit the right of the Borrower, the
     Subsidiary Borrower or the Bank to:

                (i)   exercise self-help remedies such as setoff;

                (ii)  foreclose against or sell any real or personal property
           collateral; or

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

                (iii) act in a court of law, before, during or after the
           arbitration proceeding to obtain:

                      (A)  an interim remedy; and/or

                      (B)  additional or supplementary remedies.

           (i)  The pursuit of or a successful action for interim, additional or
     supplementary remedies, or the filing of a court action, does not
     constitute a waiver of the right of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrower
     or the Bank, including the suing party, to submit the controversy or claim
     to arbitration if the other party contests the lawsuit.  However, if the
     controversy or claim arises from or relates to an obligation to the Bank
     which is secured by real property located in California at the time of the
     proposed submission to arbitration, this right is limited according to the
     provision above requiring the consent of both the Borrower, the Subsidiary
     Borrower and the Bank to seek resolution through arbitration.

           (j)  If the Bank forecloses against any real property securing this
     Agreement, the Bank has the option to exercise the power of sale under the
     deed of trust or mortgage, or to proceed by judicial foreclosure.

     14.5  Severability; Waivers.  If any part of this Agreement is not
           ---------------------
enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced.  The Bank retains all
rights, even if it makes a loan after default.  If the Bank waives a default, it
may enforce a later default.  Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be
in writing.

     14.6  Administration Costs.  The Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower shall
           --------------------
pay the Bank for all reasonable costs incurred by the Bank in connection with
administering this Agreement.

     14.7  Attorneys' Fees.  The Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower shall
           ---------------
reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the
Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights or
remedies under this Agreement and any other documents executed in connection
with this Agreement, and including any amendment, waiver, "workout" or
restructuring under this Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration
proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or arbitration
proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case
is commenced by or against the Borrower or the Subsidiary Borrower under the
Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor
statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of
any rights of the Bank in such a case. As used in this paragraph, "attorneys'
fees" includes the allocated costs of the Bank's in-house counsel.

     14.8  One Agreement.  This Agreement and any related security or other
           -------------

referred to hereinafter each individually as a "Lender" and
collectively as the "Lenders"), Bank of America, N.A., as

the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Existing Titled Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Agent, collectively, the "Agents" and,

Tennessee corporation ("Parent"), and each of the other Miller

and the other Miller Borrowers and Road One Borrowers, collectively, "Borrowers",
and, individually, a "Borrower").

 

W
I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers
have requested the Lenders to make available to the Borrowers a credit facility
on the terms set forth herein, which credit facility the Borrowers will use for
the purposes permitted hereunder; and

WHEREAS, in order to
utilize the financial powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and
economical manner, and in order to facilitate the financing of the Borrowers’
working capital needs, the Lenders will, at the request of the Borrowers, extend
financial accommodations to the Borrowers based on the combined borrowing bases
of the Miller Borrowers and the RoadOne Borrowers in accordance with the
provisions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers’
business is a mutual and collective enterprise and the Borrowers believe that
the consolidation of all loans and other financial accommodations under this
Agreement will enhance the aggregate borrowing powers of the Borrowers and
facilitate the administration of their loan relationship with the Agents and the
Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of the Borrowers; and

WHEREAS, each Borrower
acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by
reason of the making of loans and other financial accommodations to the other
Borrowers as provided in this Agreement, by virtue of the Borrowers’ various
inter-relationships as joint guarantors or joint obligors and the beneficiaries
thereof, as lessors and lessees, as suppliers and customers, and as joint
venturers; and

 

WHEREAS, the Agents’
and the Lenders’ willingness to extend financial accommodations to the
Borrowers, and to administer the Borrowers’ collateral security therefor, on a
combined basis as more fully set forth in this Agreement, is done solely as an
accommodation to the Borrowers and at the Borrowers’ request and in
furtherance of the Borrowers’ mutual and collective enterprise; and

WHEREAS, capitalized
terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein; the rules of construction contained therein shall govern
the interpretation of this Agreement; and all Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules
attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference; and

WHEREAS, based on the
foregoing, the Agents and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the
Borrowers a credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this
Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agents, the Letter of Credit Issuer and
the Borrowers hereby agree as follows.

ARTICLE
1

LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

    1.1
           Total Facility. 
     Subject to all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make available a
total credit facility of up to $110,000,000 (the "Total Facility")
to the Borrowers from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Total
Facility shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving
Loans and Letters of Credit and the Term Loans described herein.

    1.2
           Revolving Loans.

(a)       Amounts.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender
severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon any Borrower’s request from time to
time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the
Termination Date, to make revolving loans (the "Revolving Loans")
to (i) the Miller Borrowers in amounts not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Miller Borrowing Base, and (ii) the RoadOne Borrowers in amounts
not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the RoadOne Borrowing Base;
provided, however, that in no event shall (A) the Aggregate Revolver
Outstandings exceed Availability, (B) the Aggregate Miller Revolver Outstandings
exceed Miller Availability, or (C) the Aggregate RoadOne Revolver Outstandings
exceed RoadOne Availability. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous
discretion, may elect to make Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued
Letters of Credit in excess of the Miller Borrowing Base and/or the RoadOne 

 

-2-

Borrowing Base on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the
Collateral Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the
limits of the Miller Borrowing Base or the RoadOne Borrowing Base or to be
obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion. If (A) the Aggregate
Miller Revolver Outstandings would exceed Miller Availability after giving
effect to any Borrowing, (B) the Aggregate RoadOne Revolver Outstandings would
exceed RoadOne Availability after giving effect to any Borrowing, or (C) the
Aggregate Revolver Outstandings would exceed Availability after giving effect to
any Borrowing, the Lenders may refuse to make or may otherwise restrict the
making of Revolving Loans as the Lenders determine until such excess has been
eliminated, subject to the Collateral Agent’s authority, in its sole
discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(i).

        (b)       Procedure
        for Borrowing.

(1)     Each Borrowing
shall be made upon a Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the
Collateral Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing ("Notice of
Borrowing"), which must be received by the Collateral Agent prior to (i)
12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, and (ii) 12:00 noon
(Atlanta, Georgia time) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, specifying:

(A)     whether the
Borrowing is being made by a Miller Borrower or a RoadOne Borrower;

(B)     the amount of the
Borrowing, which in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan must equal or exceed
$1,000,000 (and increments of $500,000 in excess of such amount);

(C)     the requested
Funding Date, which must be a Business Day;

(D)     whether the
Revolving Loans requested are to be Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving
Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate
Revolving Loan); and

(E)     the duration of the
Interest Period for LIBOR Revolving Loans (and if not specified, it shall be
deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month);

provided,
however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Closing
Date, such Borrowings will consist of Base Rate Revolving Loans only.

(2)     In
lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower may give the Collateral
Agent telephonic notice of such request for advances to the Designated Account
on or before the deadline set forth above. The Collateral Agent at all times
shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such Revolving
Loans, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.

-3-

 

(3)     Whenever checks,
ACH transfers or similar items are presented to Bank of America for payment
against a Designated Account or any other account of a Borrower maintained with
Bank of America in an amount greater than the then available balance in such
accounts, such presentation shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate
Revolving Loan on the date of such presentation in an amount equal to the excess
of such checks over such available balances, and such request shall be
irrevocable. The Borrowers’ Agent shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent
(which notice may be telephonic) of any such deemed request for a Base Rate
Revolving Loan. If all of the conditions precedent to the making of such Base
Rate Revolving Loan are satisfied, the Collateral Agent shall make the election
described in Section 1.2(f) and such Base Rate Revolving Loan shall be
funded accordingly. If all of the conditions precedent to the making of such
Base Rate Revolving Loan are not satisfied, and any such ACH transfer or similar
item may not in Bank of America’s reasonable judgment be returned or rejected
by Bank of America, the Lenders agree, notwithstanding the failure of the
Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of such Base Rate
Revolving Loan or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to make
one or more Loans in the amount of such ACH transfer or similar item.

(4)     At the election of
the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall have no right to request a LIBOR Loan
while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c)     Reliance upon
Authority. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent a notice setting forth the separate accounts of the Miller
Borrowers and the RoadOne Borrowers maintained with Bank of America (the "Designated
Accounts") to which the Collateral Agent is authorized to transfer the
proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested hereunder. The Borrowers may designate
replacement Designated Accounts from time to time by written notice. Such
Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The
Collateral Agent is entitled to rely conclusively on any person’s request for
Revolving Loans on behalf of any Borrower, so long as the proceeds thereof are
to be transferred to a Designated Account. The Collateral Agent has no duty to
verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a
person authorized by any Borrower to make such requests on its behalf.

(d)     No Liability.
The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability to any Borrower as a result
of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections 1.2(b) and (c),
which the Collateral Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an
officer or other person duly authorized by any Borrower to request Revolving
Loans on its behalf. The crediting of Revolving Loans to a Designated Account
conclusively establishes the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Revolving
Loans as provided herein.

(e)     Notice
Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof)
made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be irrevocable. The Borrowers
shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

(f)     Collateral Agent’s
Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic
notice in lieu thereof), the Collateral Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section
1.2(g) or the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested
Borrowing. If CIT declines in its sole discretion to make a Non-Ratable Loan
pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the terms of Section 1.2(g)
shall apply to the requested Borrowing.

 

-4-

 

(g)     Making of
Revolving Loans. If the Collateral Agent elects to have the terms of this Section
1.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing, then promptly after receipt of a
Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, the Collateral Agent
shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested
Borrowing. Each Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested
Borrowing to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, to the account
from time to time designated by the Collateral Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m.
(Atlanta, Georgia time) on the applicable Funding Date. After the Collateral
Agent’s receipt of all proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Collateral Agent
shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrowers on
the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the account
designated by the applicable Borrower; provided, however, that the
amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall be permitted in accordance
with Section 1.2(a).

        (h)     Making
        of Non-Ratable Loans.

(A)     If the Collateral
Agent elects, with the consent of CIT, to have the terms of this Section
1.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing, CIT shall make a Revolving Loan in
the amount of that Borrowing available to the Borrowers on the applicable
Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the applicable Designated
Account. Each Revolving Loan made solely by CIT pursuant to this Section is
herein referred to as a "Non-Ratable Loan", and such Revolving
Loans are collectively referred to as the "Non-Ratable Loans."
Each Non-Ratable Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions
applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be
payable to CIT solely for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall not
request CIT to make any Non-Ratable Loan if (1) the Collateral Agent has
received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 will not be satisfied on
the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (2) the
requested Borrowing would exceed the applicable amount permitted under Section
1.2 on that Funding Date.

(B)     The Non-Ratable
Loans shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and shall
constitute Base Rate Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder.

        (i)     Agent
        Advances.

(A)     Subject to the
limitations set forth below, the Collateral Agent is authorized by the Borrowers
and the Lenders, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion,
(1) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (2) at any time
that any of the other conditions precedent set forth in Article 8
have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Revolving Loans to the Borrowers on
behalf of the Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to
exceed $3,000,000, but not in excess of the Maximum Revolver Amount, which the
Collateral Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or
desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2)
to enhance the likelihood of, or

 

-5-

 

maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans
and other Obligations (including through Base Rate Revolving Loans for the
purpose of enabling the Borrowers to meet payroll and associated tax
obligations), or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as
described in Section 13.7 (any of such advances are herein referred
to as "Agent Advances"); provided, that Agent Advances
shall not be outstanding for more than sixty (60) consecutive days; provided, further, that the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Collateral
Agent’s authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in
writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Collateral Agent’s
receipt thereof.

(B)     The Agent Advances
shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and shall
constitute Base Rate Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder.

(j)     Adjustments to
Revolver Amounts. The Borrowers’ Agent may from time to time, at its
option upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Collateral Agent, adjust the respective amounts of the Maximum Miller Revolver
Amount and the Maximum RoadOne Revolver Amount, so long as (i) no Default or
Event of Default then exists or will result therefrom, (ii) any such adjustment
shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000
in excess thereof, and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Maximum Miller Revolver
Amount and the Maximum RoadOne Revolver Amount, as adjusted, shall equal the
Maximum Revolver Amount. The Collateral Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of receipt by the Collateral Agent of any notice from the Borrowers’ Agent
pursuant to this Section 1.2(j).

    1.3
         Term Loans.

(a)     Amounts of Term
Loans. Each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (any such term loan
being referred to as a "Term Loan" and such term loans being
referred to collectively as the "Term Loans") to the Borrowers
on the Closing Date, upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
in Article 8, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
$8,000,000. The Term Loans shall initially be Base Rate Term Loans.

(b)     Making of Term
Loans. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan
available to the Collateral Agent in same day funds, to the Collateral Agent’s
designated account, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the
Closing Date. After the Collateral Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such
Term Loans, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8,
the Collateral Agent shall make the proceeds of such Term Loans available to the
Borrowers on such Funding Date by transferring same day funds equal to the
proceeds of such Term Loans received by the Collateral Agent to the Designated
Account.

(c)     Term Loan
Amortization. The Term Loan shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly
principal installments of $167,000 each on the first day of each calendar month,
commencing on August 1, 2001, with a final principal installment of all
unpaid principal due and payable on the Termination Date. Each such installment
shall be payable to the Collateral

-6-

 

 Agent for the account of the applicable
Lenders. Payments or prepayments of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

    1.4
         Letters
    of Credit.

(a)     Agreement to
Issue or Cause To Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent agrees to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to
issue, and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue, for the account of the
Borrowers, one or more commercial/documentary and standby letters of credit
(each a "Letter of Credit").

(b)     Amounts; Outside
Expiration Date. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to cause
to be issued, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any obligation to
issue, any Letter of Credit at any time if: (i) the maximum face amount of the
requested Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused Letter of Credit
Subfacility at such time; (ii) the maximum undrawn amount of the requested
Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the Borrowers
in connection with the opening thereof (A) would exceed Availability at such
time, (B) in the case of any Letter of Credit requested by a Miller Borrower,
would exceed the maximum amount of Revolving Loans that could be incurred by the
Miller Borrowers at such time in accordance with Section 1.2, or (C) in
the case of any Letter of Credit requested by a RoadOne Borrower, would exceed
the maximum amount of Revolving Loans that could be incurred by the RoadOne
Borrowers at such time in accordance with Section 1.2; or (iii) such
Letter of Credit has an expiration date less than thirty (30) days prior to the
Stated Termination Date or more than 12 months from the date of issuance for
standby letters of credit and one hundred eighty (180) days for documentary
letters of credit. With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any
"evergreen" or automatic renewal provision, each Lender shall be
deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal unless any such Lender
shall have provided to the Collateral Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer
written notice that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at
least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer is
entitled to decline to extend or renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the
requirements of this Section 1.4 are met and no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall decline to consent to
any such extension or renewal.

(c)     Other Conditions.
In addition to conditions precedent contained in Article 8, the
obligation of the Collateral Agent to cause to be issued, and the Letter of
Credit Issuer to issue, any Letter of Credit is subject to the following
conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer:

(1)     The Borrowers shall
have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer, at such times and in such manner
as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in form and
substance satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer and reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for the issuance of the Letter of Credit
and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and
the form, terms and purpose of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; and

 

-7-

 

(2)     As of the date of
issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall
purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from
issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter
of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks
generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks
generally shall prohibit, or request that the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of
such Letters of Credit.

        (d)     Issuance
        of Letters of Credit.

(1)     Request for
Issuance. The Borrowers must notify the Collateral Agent and the Letter of
Credit Issuer of a requested Letter of Credit at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the proposed issuance date. Such notice shall be irrevocable and must
specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the Business
Day of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of
Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the Business Day on which
the requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the purpose for which such Letter
of Credit is to be issued, the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit,
and whether the requested Letter of Credit is for the account of a Miller
Borrower or a RoadOne Borrower. The Borrowers shall attach to such notice the
proposed form of the Letter of Credit.

(2)     Responsibilities
of the Collateral Agent; Issuance. As of the Business Day immediately
preceding the requested issuance date of the Letter of Credit, the Collateral
Agent shall determine the amount of the applicable Unused Letter of Credit
Subfacility, Availability, and Miller Availability and RoadOne Availability, as
the case may be. If (a) the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is
less than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (b) the amount of such
requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the
Borrowers in connection with the opening thereof would not cause the Borrowers
to exceed Availability (and would also not cause the Miller Borrowers to exceed
Miller Availability, in the case of any Letter of Credit requested by a Miller
Borrower, or the RoadOne Borrowers to exceed RoadOne Availability, in the case
of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a RoadOne Borrower), the
Collateral Agent shall cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue, and the
Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue, the requested Letter of Credit on the
requested issuance date so long as the other conditions hereof are met.

(3)     No Extensions or
Amendment. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to cause the Letter
of Credit Issuer to extend or amend, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not
be obligated to extent or amend, any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto
unless the requirements of this Section 1.4 are met as though a new
Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

(e)     Payments
Pursuant to Letters of Credit. The Borrowers agree to reimburse immediately
the Letter of Credit Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit, and to pay
the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to
the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately
when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the
Borrowers may have at any time against the Letter

 

-8-

 

of Credit Issuer or any other
Person. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by
the Borrowers to the Collateral Agent for a Borrowing of a Base Rate Revolving
Loan in the amount of such drawing. The Funding Date with respect to such
Borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

        (f)     Indemnification;
        Exoneration; Power of Attorney.

(1)     Indemnification.
In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 1.4,
the Borrowers agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Lenders, the Letter
of Credit Issuer and the Collateral Agent harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which any Lender, the Letter of Credit
Issuer or the Collateral Agent may incur or be subject to as a consequence,
direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, except to the
extent of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrowers’
obligations under this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

(2)     Assumption of
Risk by the Borrowers. As among the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Letter of
Credit Issuer and the Collateral Agent, the Borrowers assume all risks of the
acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the
respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by
any Person in connection with the application for and issuance of and
presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it
should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the
failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with
conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors,
omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;
(E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by
the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under
such Letter of Credit; (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Collateral Agent,
including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or
future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority;
or (I) the Letter of Credit Issuer’s honor of a draw for which the draw or any
certificate fails to comply in any respect with the terms of the Letter of
Credit. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any
rights or powers of the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any
Lender under this Section 1.4(f).

(3)     Exoneration.
Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by the
Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender shall result in any
liability of the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender to
any Borrower,

 

-9-

 

or relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any
such Person, except to the extent of such Person’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

(4)     Rights Against
Letter of Credit Issuer. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to
limit the Borrowers’ rights, if any, with respect to the Letter of Credit
Issuer which arise as a result of the letter of credit application and related
documents executed by and between any Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(5)     Account Party.
The Borrowers hereby authorize and direct the Letter of Credit Issuer to name
the applicable Borrower as the "Account Party" in any Letter of Credit
and to deliver to the Collateral Agent all instruments, documents and other
writings and property received by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the
Letter of Credit, and to accept and rely upon the Collateral Agent’s
instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection
with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(g)     Supporting
Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section
1.4(b) and Section 10.1, any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the
termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination the Borrowers shall
deposit with the Letter of Credit Issuer, for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, with respect to each Letter
of Credit then outstanding, a standby letter of credit (a "Supporting
Letter of Credit") in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, issued by an issuer satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer in an amount equal to 103% of
the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be drawn plus any fees
and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit, under which Supporting
Letter of Credit the Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to draw amounts
necessary to reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the
Lenders for payments to be made by the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit
Issuer and the Lenders under such Letter of Credit and any fees and expenses
associated with such Letter of Credit. Such Supporting Letter of Credit shall be
held by the Letter of Credit Issuer, for the ratable benefit of the Collateral
Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, as security for, and to
provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of
Credit remaining outstanding.

(h)     Successor Letter
of Credit Issuer. The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as Letter of Credit
Issuer upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Collateral Agent,
the Lenders and the Borrowers’ Agent, such resignation to be effective upon
the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as the Letter of Credit
Issuer. In the event Bank of America sells all of its Commitment and Loans as
part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by Bank of America of
substantially all of its loan portfolio, Bank of America shall resign as the
Letter of Credit Issuer and such purchaser or transferee shall become the
successor Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, if the
Letter of Credit Issuer resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor Letter of Credit Issuer. If no
successor Letter of Credit Issuer is appointed prior to the effective date of
the resignation of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Letter of Credit Issuer may
appoint, after consulting with the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the
Borrowers’ Agent, a successor Letter of Credit Issuer from among the Lenders.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor

 

 

-10-

Letter of Credit Issuer
hereunder, such successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall succeed to all the
rights, powers and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and the term
"Letter of Credit Issuer" shall mean such successor Letter of Credit
Issuer and the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer’s appointment, powers and
duties as Letter of Credit Issuer shall be terminated. After any retiring Letter
of Credit Issuer’s resignation hereunder as Letter of Credit Issuer, the
provisions of this Agreement shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Letter of Credit Issuer
under this Agreement.

(i)     Existing Letter
of Credit. Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agents agrees that the
Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Letter of Credit for all purposes of
this Agreement as if the Existing Letter of Credit was issued on the date
hereof, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to all the benefits as
Letter of Credit Issuer and to all the obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement with respect to the Existing Letter of Credit.

    1.5
         Bank
    Products.     The Borrowers may
request and the Agents may, in their sole and absolute discretion, arrange for
the Borrowers to obtain from CIT or Bank of America, or their respective
Affiliates, Bank Products, although the Borrowers are not required to do so. If
Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of CIT or Bank of America, the
Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold the Agents, CIT and Bank of America, and
the Lenders harmless from any and all costs and obligations now or hereafter
incurred by the Agents, CIT or Bank of America, or any of the Lenders which
arise from any indemnity given by any Agent to its Affiliates related to such
Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained herein is
intended to limit the Borrowers’ rights, with respect to CIT or Bank of
America or their Affiliates, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of
documents by and between the Borrowers and CIT or Bank of America which relate
to Bank Products. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive
termination of this Agreement. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the
obtaining of Bank Products from CIT and Bank of America, or their respective
Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of CIT and Bank of
America, or their respective Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules and
regulations of CIT and Bank of America, or their respective Affiliates.

INTEREST AND FEES

    2.1
         Interest.

(a)     Interest Rates.
All outstanding Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount
thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid
when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by
reference to the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margins
as set forth below, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time Loans are
outstanding with respect to which the Borrowers have not delivered to the
Collateral Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate
applicable thereto in accordance herewith, those Loans shall bear interest at a
rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until notice to the contrary has
been given to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such
notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
outstanding Obligations shall bear interest as follows:

 

-11-

 

        (i)     For all
        Base Rate Term Loans at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base
        Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

        (ii)     For all
        Base Rate Revolving Loans and other Obligations (other than Base Rate
        Term Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal
        to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

        (iii)     For all
        LIBOR Term Loans at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus
        the Applicable Margin; and

        (iv)     For all
        LIBOR Revolving Loans at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus
        the Applicable Margin.

Each change in the Base
Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as of
the effective date of such change. All interest charges shall be computed on the
basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed (which
results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day
year). The Borrowers shall pay to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit
of Lenders, interest accrued on all Base Rate Loans in arrears on the first day
of each month hereafter and on the Termination Date. The Borrowers shall pay to
the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest on all LIBOR
Rate Loans in arrears on each LIBOR Interest Payment Date.

(b)     Default Rate.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Collateral Agent or the
Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, then, while any such Event of
Default is continuing, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default
Rate applicable thereto.

    2.2
         Continuation
    and Conversion Elections.

        (a)     The
        Borrowers may:

        (i)     elect, as
        of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans, to convert any Base
        Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000,
        or that is in an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) into
        LIBOR Rate Loans; or

        (ii)     elect, as
        of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR
        Rate Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part
        thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or that is in an integral
        multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof);

provided,
that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Rate Loans in respect of any
Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof, to
be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert into
Base Rate Loans; provided further that if the notice shall fail to
specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one
month.

 

-12-

 

(b)     The Borrowers shall
deliver a notice of continuation/conversion ("Notice of
Continuation/Conversion") to the Collateral Agent not later than 12:00
noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the
Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued
as LIBOR Rate Loans and specifying:

            (i)     the
            proposed Continuation/Conversion Date;

            (ii)     the
            aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or renewed;

            (iii)     the
            type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or
            continuation; and

            (iv)     the
            duration of the requested Interest Period, provided, however,
            the Borrowers may not select an Interest Period that ends after the
            Stated Termination Date.

(c) If upon the
expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrowers
have failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to LIBOR
Rate Loans or at the election of the Required Lenders if any Default or Event of
Default then exists, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date
of such Interest Period.

(d) The Collateral
Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of
Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with
respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

(e) There may not be
more than five different LIBOR Rate Loans in effect hereunder at any time.

2.3
         Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any
interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable
by the Lenders under applicable law with respect to loans of the type provided
for hereunder (the "Maximum Rate"). To the extent permitted by
applicable law, if, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation,
would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month
shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would
otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at
the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals
the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been
limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the
Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of
this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for
this Section 2.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate
otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Collateral
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the
lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the
Maximum Rate had, at all times,

 

-13-

 

been in effect or (ii) the amount of
interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in
this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest
actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the Collateral Agent and/or any Lender has received
interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, to the
extent permitted by applicable law such excess shall be deemed received on
account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other
than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations
outstanding, the Collateral Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the
Borrowers’ Agent such excess.

    2.4
         Closing
    and Other  Fees. The Borrowers agree
to pay the Agents, on the due dates therefor, such closing and other fees as set
forth in the Fee Letter.

    2.5
         Unused
    Line Fee. On the first day of
each month and on the Termination Date, the Borrowers agree to pay (a) to the
Collateral Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the "Unused Line Fee")
equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum times the amount by which the
Maximum Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount
of Revolving Loans and the average daily undrawn face amount of outstanding
Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month (or shorter period if
calculated for the first month hereafter or on the Termination Date). The Unused
Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number
of days elapsed. All principal payments received by the Collateral Agent shall
be deemed to be credited to the Loan Account immediately upon receipt for
purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Section 2.5.

    2.6
         Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers agree
to pay (a) to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for each Letter of Credit, a
fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") equal to the Applicable Margin
for LIBOR Revolving Loans per annum multiplied by the undrawn face amount of
each Letter of Credit, (b) to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Letter
of Credit Issuer a fronting fee of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum
of the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit, and (c) to the Letter of
Credit Issuer, all customary costs, fees and expenses of the Letter of Credit
Issuer in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or
amendment to any Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable
monthly in arrears on the first day of each month following any month in which a
Letter of Credit is outstanding and on the Termination Date. The Letter of
Credit Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.

PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

    3.1
         Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall
repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date. The Borrowers may prepay
Revolving Loans at any time, and reborrow, subject to the terms of this
Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon demand the Borrowers shall pay to the Collateral Agent, for account of the
Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the Aggregate Revolver
Outstandings, the Aggregate Miller Revolver

     

-14-

     

    Outstandings or the Aggregate
RoadOne Revolver Outstandings exceeds any applicable limit set forth in Section
1.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement.

    3.2
         Reduction
    and Termination of Facility.

(a)     Reduction and
Termination of RoadOne Revolving Credit Facility.

  

    (i)     The RoadOne
    Borrowers may from time to time permanently reduce the Maximum RoadOne
    Revolver Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of
    $5,000,000 or in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof), upon
    five (5) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Collateral
    Agent; provided, however, (A) no such reduction shall be made
    which would cause the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings or Aggregate RoadOne
    Revolver Outstandings to exceed any applicable limit set forth in this
    Agreement, unless, concurrently with such reduction, the Revolving Loans are
    repaid to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess, and (B) no such
    reduction shall be made which would cause the Maximum Revolver Amount to be
    less than $60,000,000. The Collateral Agent shall promptly notify each
    Lender of receipt by the Collateral Agent of any notice from the Borrowers
    pursuant to this Section 3.2(a)(i) and each Lender’s Commitment
    shall be reduced on the effective date of any such reduction based on such
    Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Upon any reduction of the Maximum RoadOne
    Revolver Amount, the amount of the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Total
    Facility shall each automatically reduce in a corresponding amount.

    (ii)     The RoadOne
    Revolving Credit Facility and the Lenders’ Commitments to make Revolving
    Loans thereunder shall terminate upon the Transition Date. The Collateral
    Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and the Borrowers’ Agent of the
    termination of the RoadOne Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with this
    Section 3.2(a)(ii). Upon the termination of the RoadOne Revolving
    Credit Facility, each Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced based on such
    Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Upon any termination of the RoadOne Revolving
    Credit Facility, the amount of the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Total
    Facility shall each automatically reduce in a corresponding amount.

  

(b)     Termination of
Total Facility. The Borrowers may terminate this Agreement upon at least ten
(10) Business Days’ notice to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, upon
(a) the payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with
accrued interest thereon, and the cancellation and return of all outstanding
Letters of Credit (or the delivery to the Letter of Credit Issuer of Supporting
Letters of Credit with respect thereto), (b) the prepayment in full of the
Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (c) the
payment of the early termination fee set forth below, (d) the payment in full in
cash of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations, and (e) with
respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans prepaid, payment of the amounts due under Section
4.4, if any. If this Agreement is terminated at any time prior to the Stated
Termination Date, whether pursuant to this Section or pursuant to Section 9.2,
the Borrowers shall pay to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Lenders,
an early termination fee determined in accordance with the following table:

      balance of the Term Loan

	
      After the first
      Anniversary Date but on or prior to the second Anniversary Date
	 	
      3% of the Maximum
      Revolver Amount (after giving effect to any prior reductions thereof in
      accordance with Section 3.2(a)) plus the outstanding principal
      balance of the Term Loan

	
      After the second
      Anniversary Date but prior to the Stated Termination Date
	 	
      1% of the Maximum
      Revolver Amount (after giving effect to any prior reductions thereof in
      accordance with Section 3.2(a)) plus the outstanding principal
      balance of the Term Loan

  

 

    3.3
         Repayment of the Term Loans. The Borrowers agree
to repay the principal of the Term Loans to the Collateral Agent, for the
account of the Lenders, as set forth in Section 1.3.

    3.4
         Prepayments of the Loans.

(a)     The Borrowers may
prepay the principal of the Term Loans in whole or in part, at any time and from
time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to
the Collateral Agent. All voluntary prepayments of the principal of the Term
Loans shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest on
the Term Loans to the date of prepayment. Any voluntary prepayment of less than
all of the outstanding principal of the Term Loans shall be applied to the
installments of principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity.
Amounts prepaid in respect of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b)     Immediately upon
receipt by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of proceeds of any Asset
Disposition, the Borrowers shall apply the Net Proceeds therefrom as follows:

  

    (i)     First,
    all Net Senior Creditor Proceeds arising from Accounts and Fleet Vehicles
    shall be applied to the Obligations under the RoadOne Revolving Credit
    Facility in accordance with the terms of Section 3.8;

  

     

-16-

     

  
    (ii)     Second,
    all Net Senior Creditor Proceeds arising from Fixed Assets shall be applied
    to the Obligations under the Term Loan in accordance with Section 3.4(d);

    (iii)     Third,
    all Required Payments shall be paid in full;

    (iv)     Fourth,
    provided such payment is permitted under Section 7.14(b), all Net
    Junior Creditors’ Proceeds shall be paid to the Junior Creditors’ Agent
    to the extent of the outstanding Subordinated Debt in accordance with the
    provisions of Section 5.4; and

    (v)     Fifth,
    all remaining amounts shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with
    Section 3.4(d).

  

(c)     In the event that,
at any time after the Closing Date, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries issues
capital stock or other securities pursuant to a public offering (other than an
offering of Permitted Refinancing Stock), no later than the second Business Day
following the date of receipt of the proceeds from such issuance, the Borrowers
shall (i) apply such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and
other reasonable costs associated therewith, to the prepayment of the Loans, and
(ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Designated Financial
Officer demonstrating the net proceeds required to be paid to the Loans.

(d)     All prepayments of
the Term Loan required to be made under clauses (b) and (c) above
(together with all proceeds from any Fixed Asset disposition permitted under Section
7.9(f) to the extent the Borrowers do not reinvest the proceeds therefrom as
set forth in Section 7.9(f)) shall be applied to principal installments
of the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturities, then to accrued
interest and other amounts due with respect to the Term Loan, and then to other
Obligations as set forth in Section 3.8.

(e)     No provision
contained in this Section 3.4 shall constitute a consent to an asset
disposition that is otherwise not permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

    3.5
         LIBOR Rate Loan
    Prepayments. In connection with
any prepayment, if any LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid prior to the expiration date
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to the
Lenders the amounts described in Section 4.4.

    3.6
         Payments
    by the Borrowers.

(a)     All payments to be
made by the Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers
shall be made to the Collateral Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the
account designated by the Collateral Agent and shall be made in Dollars and in
immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on
the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Collateral Agent after
such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have
been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall
continue to accrue.

 

-17-

     

(b)     Subject to the
provisions set forth in the definition of "Interest Period", whenever
any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due
on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

    3.7
         Payments
    as Revolving Loans.    At the election of
the Collateral Agent, all payments of principal, interest, reimbursement
obligations in connection with Letters of Credit, fees, premiums, reimbursable
expenses and other sums payable hereunder, may be paid from the proceeds of
Revolving Loans made hereunder. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the
Collateral Agent to charge the Loan Account for the purpose of paying all
amounts from time to time due hereunder and agrees that all such amounts charged
shall constitute Revolving Loans (including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances).

    3.8
         Apportionment,
    Application and Reversal of Payments.    Principal and
interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to
the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by
each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned
ratably among the Lenders, except for fees payable solely to the Agents and the
Letter of Credit Issuer and except as provided in Section 11.1(b).
All payments shall be remitted to the Collateral Agent and all such payments not
relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment
of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by
the Collateral Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense
reimbursements then due to the Agents or the Letter of Credit Issuer from the
Borrowers; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to
the Lenders from the Borrowers; third, to pay interest due in respect of
all Loans, including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances; fourth, to pay
or prepay principal of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances; fifth,
to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans
and Agent Advances) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters
of Credit; sixth, to pay or prepay principal of the Term Loans; seventh,
to pay an amount to the Letter of Credit Issuer equal to all outstanding Letter
of Credit Obligations to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations; and eighth,
to the payment of any other Obligation (including any amounts relating to Bank
Products) due to the Agents or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the
Borrowers, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither
the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives
to any LIBOR Rate Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period
applicable to any such LIBOR Rate Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the
extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans and, in any event, the
Borrowers shall pay LIBOR breakage losses in accordance with Section 4.4.
The Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to
any portion of the Obligations.

    3.9
         Indemnity
    for Returned Payments.      If, after receipt of
any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, either Agent, any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer, CIT or any
Affiliate of CIT (each such Person, a "Receiving Party") is for
any reason compelled to surrender such payment or

-18-

     

    proceeds to any Person because
such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set
aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff,
or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this
Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received by the Receiving Party and the Borrowers shall be liable to pay to
the Receiving Party, and hereby do indemnify the Receiving Party and hold the
Receiving Party harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered.
The provisions of this Section 3.9 shall be and remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Receiving
Party in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such
contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Receiving Party’s
rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon
such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The
provisions of this Section 3.9 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

    3.10
         Collateral
    Agents’ and Lenders’ Books and Records; Monthly Statements.
         The Collateral Agent
shall record the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender, the undrawn
face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of
unpaid reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the Letters of
Credit from time to time on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the
date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s
Loans in its books and records. Failure by the Collateral Agent or any Lender to
make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers with
respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit. The Borrowers agree that the
Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the
Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and
shall, absent manifest error, constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof,
irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or
other instrument. The Collateral Agent will provide to the Borrowers’ Agent a
monthly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this
Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the
Borrowers and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of
payments made as provided in Section 3.8 and corrections of errors
discovered by the Collateral Agent), unless the Borrowers notify the Collateral
Agent in writing to the contrary within forty-five (45) days after such
statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is
given by the Borrowers, only the items to which exception is expressly made will
be considered to be disputed by the Borrowers.

    3.11     Borrowers’ Agent.      Each of the Borrowers
other than Parent hereby appoints Parent, and Parent shall act under this
Agreement, as the agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative of such other
Borrowers for all purposes, including requesting Loans and receiving account
statements and other notices and communications to the Borrowers (or any of
them) from the Collateral Agent or any Lender. The Collateral Agent, the Letter
of Credit Issuer and the Lenders may rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion or Continuation,
request for a Letter of Credit, disbursement instruction, report, information or
any other notice or communication made or given by Parent, whether in its own
name, as Borrowers’ Agent, on behalf of any other Borrower or on behalf of the
"Borrowers", and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Letter of Credit
Issuer or any Lender shall have any

-19-

     

    obligation to make any inquiry or request
any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding
effect on it of any such Notice, request, instruction, report, information,
other notice or communications, nor shall the joint and several character of the
Borrowers’ obligations hereunder be affected, provided, that the provisions of
this Section 3.11 shall not be construed so as to preclude any Borrower
from taking actions permitted to be taken by a "Borrower" hereunder.

    3.12     
    Joint and Several Liability.

(a)     Joint and
Several Liability. All Loans made to the Borrowers and all of the other
Obligations of the Borrowers, including all interest, fees and expenses with
respect thereto and all indemnity and reimbursement obligations hereunder, shall
constitute one joint and several direct and general obligation of all of the
Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of
the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally, with each other Borrower, directly
and unconditionally, liable for all Obligations, it being understood that the
advances to each Borrower inure to the benefit of all Borrowers, and that the
Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders are relying on the
joint and several liability of the Borrowers as co-makers in extending the Loans
hereunder and issuing Letters of Credit. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest
on, any Obligation, it will forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand,
unless such payment is then prohibited by applicable law (provided such
Obligation shall not be extinguished by any such prohibition).

(b)     No Reduction in
Obligations. No payment or payments made by any of the Borrowers or any
other Person or received or collected by the Collateral Agent, the Letter of
Credit Issuer or any Lender from any of the Borrowers or any Person by virtue of
any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any
time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall
be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of each
Borrower under this Agreement, which shall remain liable for the Obligations
until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitment is terminated.

    3.13     Obligations Absolute.   Each Borrower agrees
that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the
Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender with respect
thereto, unless such payment is then prohibited by applicable law (provided such
Obligation shall not be extinguished by any such prohibition.) All Obligations
shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. The
liabilities under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity of enforceability of any Loan
Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payments of, or in any other term of, all
or any part of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver thereof or any
consent to departure therefrom, including any increase in the Obligations
resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of

-20-

     

    or consent to departure from any guaranty
for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any change, restructuring or
termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower; or
(e) any other circumstance which otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Borrower. This Agreement shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the
Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made.

    3.14     Waiver of Suretyship Defenses.
        Each Borrower agrees
that the joint and several liability of the Borrowers provided for in Section
3.12 shall not be impaired or affected by any modification, supplement,
extension or amendment of any contract of agreement to which the other Borrowers
may hereafter agree (other than an agreement signed by the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders specifically releasing such liability), nor by any delay, extension
of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Collateral Agent
or any Lender with respect to any of the Obligations, nor by any other
agreements or arrangements whatever with the other Borrowers or with anyone
else, each Borrower hereby waiving all notice of such delay, extension, release,
substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consenting to
be bound thereby as fully and effectually as if it had expressly agreed thereto
in advance. The liability of each Borrower is direct and unconditional as to all
of the Obligations, and may be enforced without requiring the Collateral Agent
or any Lender first to resort to any other right, remedy or security. Each
Borrower hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and
any other notice (except to the extent expressly provided for herein or in
another Loan Document) with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents and any requirement that the Collateral Agent or any
Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject
thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or any
other Person or any collateral, including any rights any Borrower may otherwise
have under O.C.G.A. &sec; 10-7-24 or any successor statute or any analogous
statute in any jurisdiction under the laws of which any Borrower is incorporated
or in which any Borrower conducts business.

    3.15     Contribution and Indemnification among the Borrowers.      Each Borrower is
obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this
Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a
joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made
to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and
primarily by any other Borrower (an "Accommodation Payment"),
then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to
contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other
Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of
such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other
Borrower’s "Allocable Amount" (as defined below) and the denominator
of which the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any
date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of each Borrower shall
be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which
could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such
Borrower "insolvent" within the meaning of Section 101(31) of Title 11
of the United States Code entitled "Bankruptcy" (the "Bankruptcy
Code"), Section 2 of the Uniform

 

-21-

     

    Fraudulent Transfer Act (the "UFTA"),
Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act ("UFCA"), or
Section 18-2-22 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, (b) leaving such
Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or
Section 4 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its
debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and
claims of contribution, indemnification and reimbursement under this Section
3.15 shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full
of the Obligations.

TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

    4.1
         Taxes.

(a)     Any and all
payments by the Borrowers to each Lender or the Agents under this Agreement and
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for, any Taxes. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay all Other
Taxes.

(b)     The Borrowers agree
to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agents for the full amount of
Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by any Lender or Agent
and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification
shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the date such Lender or Agent makes
written demand therefor.

(c)     If any Borrower
shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or Agent, then:

  

        (i)     the sum
        payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
        required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and
        withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
        such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
        the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings
        been made;

        (ii)     the
        Borrowers shall make such deductions and withholdings;

        (iii)     the
        Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
        taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law;
        and

        (iv) the
        Borrowers shall also pay to each Lender or Agent for the account of such
        Lender or Agent, at the time interest is paid, all additional

         

        amounts
        which the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the
        after-tax yield such Lender or Agent would have received if such Taxes
        or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

  

         

-22-

     

(d)     At the Collateral
Agent’s request, within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the
Borrowers of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish the Collateral
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof,
or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(e)     If the Borrowers
are required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to subsection
(c) of this Section, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts
(consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction
of its lending office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by the
Borrowers which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the judgment of such
Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

    4.2
         Illegality.

(a)     If any Lender
determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any
Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any
Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
applicable lending office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by
that Lender to the Borrowers’ Agent through the Collateral Agent, any
obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until that
Lender notifies the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(b)     If a Lender
determines that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrowers
shall, upon the Borrowers’ Agent’s receipt of notice of such fact and demand
from such Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), prepay in full such
LIBOR Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued
thereon and amounts required under Section 4.4, either on the last day of
the Interest Period thereof, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain
such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if that Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans. If the Borrowers are
required to so prepay any LIBOR Rate Loans, then concurrently with such
prepayment, the Borrowers shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount
of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

    4.3
         Increased
    Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a)     If any Lender
determines that due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that
Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase
in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from
time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the
Collateral Agent), pay to the Collateral Agent for the account of such Lender,
additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs. Payment by the Borrowers

 

-23-

     

under this Section 4.3(a) shall
be made within fifteen (15) days after the date such Lender makes written demand
therefor.

(b)     If any Lender shall
have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation,
(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the
interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any
central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender or any corporation or
other entity controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation,
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such
Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or
other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s
desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is
increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations
under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrowers through
the Collateral Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, from time to time
as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such increase. Payment by the Borrowers under this Section 4.3(b)
shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the date such Lender makes written
demand therefor.

    4.4     Funding
    Losses.     The Borrowers shall
reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense
which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

        (a)     the failure
        of any Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of
        any LIBOR Rate Loan;

        (b)     the failure
        of any Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a LIBOR Rate Loan after
        any Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of
        Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or

        (c)     the
        prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of
        any LIBOR Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant
        Interest Period;

including any loss or
expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to
maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits
from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing.

    4.5
         Inability
    to Determine Rates.      If the Collateral
Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to
a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Collateral Agent will
promptly so notify the Borrowers’ Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall
be suspended until the Collateral

-24-

     

    Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by them. If the Borrowers do
not revoke such Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans,
as proposed by the Borrowers, in the amount specified in the applicable notice
submitted by the Borrowers, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued
as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Rate Loans.

    4.6
         Certificates
    of the Collateral
    Agent.     If any Lender claims
reimbursement or compensation under this Article 4, the affected Lender
shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the Borrowers’ Agent
(with a copy to the Collateral Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount payable to the affected Lender, and such certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

    4.7
         Survival.      The agreements and
obligations of the Borrowers in this Article 4 shall survive the payment of all
other Obligations.

shall, by means of appropriate entries, reflect in such accounts and in all
Financial Statements proper liabilities and reserves for all taxes and proper
provision for depreciation and amortization of property and bad debts, all in
accordance with GAAP. The Borrowers shall maintain at all times books and

reasonable detail, fairly presenting the financial position and the results of
operations of the Consolidated Parties as at the date thereof and for the Fiscal

Collateral Agent. The Borrowers, simultaneously with retaining such independent
public accountants to conduct such annual audit, shall send a letter to such
accountants, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, notifying such accountants
that one of the primary purposes for retaining such accountants’ services and
having audited financial statements prepared by them is for use by the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Collateral
Agent to communicate directly with its certified public accountants and, by this
provision, authorizes those accountants to disclose to the Collateral Agent any

schedules relating to the Borrowers and to discuss directly with the Collateral
Agent the finances and affairs of the Borrowers.

results of operations for the periods then ended, subject to the absence of
footnotes, the fact that such financial statements are not consolidated, and
normal year-end adjustments.

certificate of the independent certified public accountants that examined such
statement to the effect that they have reviewed and are familiar with this
Agreement and that, in examining such Financial Statements, they did not become
aware of any fact or condition which then constituted a Default or Event of
Default with respect to a financial covenant, except for those, if any,
described in reasonable detail in such certificate.

financial position as at the dates thereof and its results of operations for the
periods then ended, subject to normal year-end adjustments.

annual audited Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a)

reasonably request regarding the financial and business affairs of Parent or any
Subsidiary.

    5.3
        Notices to the Lenders.     The Borrowers shall
notify the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in writing of the following matters
at the following times:

        (a)     Immediately
        after becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default;

        (b)     Immediately

        individually or $500,000 in the aggregate for Parent and the

Validity, and Enforceability of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.      Each Borrower has the
power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to which it is a party, to incur the Obligations, and to grant
Liens upon and security interests in the Collateral to the Collateral Agent.
Each Borrower has taken all necessary action (including obtaining approval of

performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a
party. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party have
been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower, and constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against it in
accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of
equity. Each Borrower’s execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not conflict
with, or constitute a violation or breach of, or result in the imposition of any
Lien upon the property of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, by reason of
the terms of (a) any contract, mortgage, lease, agreement, indenture, or
instrument to which such Borrower is a party or which is binding upon it, (b)

Subsidiary’s business, operations, prospects, property, or condition
(financial or otherwise) and (c) has all requisite power and authority to
conduct its business and own its property.

    6.6
         Financial

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each

         Environmental
    Laws.      Except as otherwise
disclosed on Schedule 6.16 and except for such failures, liabilities,
violations and investigations (and, in the case of clause (f), for tanks,
impoundments, materials and PCBs, and the presence thereof) which could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a)     Each Borrower and
its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all Environmental

         ERISA
    Compliance.

(a)     Each Plan is in
compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the
Code and other federal or state law. Each Plan which is intended to qualify
under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter

    6.21     Regulated
    Entities.      None of the
Borrowers, any Person "controlling" (as such term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940) any Borrower, or any Subsidiary, is an

         Copyrights,
    Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, etc.     Each Borrower owns or
is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all material patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, contractual franchises, licenses, rights
of way, authorizations and other rights that are reasonably necessary for the
operation of its businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other
Person. To the best knowledge of each Borrower, no slogan or other advertising
device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now
employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Borrower or any Subsidiary
infringes upon any rights held by any other Person, where such infringement
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or
litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or threatened, and no
patent, invention, device, application, principle or any statute, law, rule,
regulation, standard or code is pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower,
proposed, which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material

Documents as of the date such representations and warranties are made or deemed
made, and none of the statements contained in any exhibit, report, statement or
certificate furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Subsidiary in
connection with the Loan Documents (including the offering and disclosure
materials delivered by or on behalf of the Borrowers to the Lenders prior to the
Closing Date), contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading as of the time when made or delivered.

    6.26
         Material

AND NEGATIVE COVENANTS

Each Borrower covenants
to the Agents and each Lender that so long as any of the Obligations remain
outstanding or this Agreement is in effect:

    7.1
         Taxes
    and Other Obligations.      Each Borrower shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) file when due all tax
returns and other reports which it is required to file; (b) pay, or provide for
the payment, when due, of all taxes, fees, assessments and other governmental
charges against it or upon its property, income and franchises, make all
required withholding and other tax deposits, and establish adequate reserves for
the payment of all such items, and provide to the Collateral Agent and the
Lenders, upon request, satisfactory evidence of its timely compliance with the
foregoing; and (c) pay when due all Debt owed by it and all claims of
materialmen, mechanics, carriers, warehousemen, landlords, processors and other
like Persons, and all other indebtedness owed by it and perform and discharge in
a timely manner all other obligations undertaken by it; provided, however,
so long as the Borrowers have notified the Collateral Agent in writing, neither
any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries need pay any tax, fee, assessment, or
governmental charge (i) it is contesting in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently pursued, (ii) as to which such Borrower or its
Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established proper reserves as required
under GAAP, and (iii) the nonpayment of which does not result in the
imposition of a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien).

    7.2
         Legal
    Existence and Good Standing.      Except as permitted
under Section 7.9(e), (f) and (g), each Borrower shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its legal existence and its
qualification and good standing in its jurisdiction of organization and in all
other jurisdictions in which the failure to maintain such qualification or good
standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    7.3
         Compliance
    with Law and Agreements; Maintenance of Licenses.      Each Borrower shall
comply, and shall cause each Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with
all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over
it or its business (including the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and all
Environmental Laws). Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, obtain and maintain all licenses, permits, franchises, and
governmental authorizations necessary to own its property and to conduct its
business as conducted on the Closing Date, except where such failure to obtain
or maintain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
No Borrower shall modify, amend or alter its certificate or articles of
incorporation, or its limited liability company operating agreement or limited
partnership agreement, as applicable, other than in a manner which does not
adversely affect the rights of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent.

    7.4
         Maintenance
    of Property; Inspection of Property.

(a)     Each Borrower
shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain all of its property
necessary and useful in the conduct of its business, in good operating condition
and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(b)     The Borrowers shall
permit representatives and independent contractors of the Collateral Agent
(accompanied by any Lender that elects to participate) to visit and inspect any
of their properties, to examine their corporate, financial and operating
records,

-38-

     

 

and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom and to discuss their
affairs, finances and accounts with their directors, officers and independent
public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
soon as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the
Borrowers’ Agent. The Borrowers shall be responsible for the expenses of the
Collateral Agent and its representatives and independent contractors in
connection with such visits and inspections, as set forth in Section 13.7(f); provided,
however, (i) if no Event of Default exists, the
Borrowers shall not be responsible for the expense of (A) more than four such
inspections and audits per year conducted at the chief executive offices of the
Borrowers or any other location where books and records relating to Accounts are
located, (B) more than two such inspections and audits per year conducted at
each manufacturing location of the Borrowers, and (C) more than one such
inspection and audit per year conducted at each other office or location where
Collateral is located, and (ii) when an Event of Default exists, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrowers
at any time during normal business hours and without advance notice.

(c)     The Borrowers shall
cooperate with the Collateral Agent and its representatives and independent
contractors (such cooperation to include the Borrowers making their books and
records, Collateral and personnel available to the Collateral Agent and its
representatives and independent contractors) in order to enable the Collateral
Agent to obtain updated appraisals of the Fixed Assets (such appraisals to be
prepared on a basis satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) whenever an Event of
Default exists, and at such other times not more frequently than once a year as
the Collateral Agent requests. The Collateral Agent shall select any and all
appraisers in its sole discretion. The Borrowers will reimburse the Collateral
Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually
incurred in connection with each such appraisal.

(d)     The Borrowers shall
cooperate with the Collateral Agent and its representatives and independent
contractors (such cooperation to include the Borrowers making their books and
records, Collateral and personnel available to the Collateral Agent and its
representatives and independent contractors) in order to enable the Collateral
Agent to obtain an Appraisal of the Borrowers’ finished goods Inventory and
Fleet Vehicles (a) on or before the Closing Date, and (b) at least every three
months thereafter (or more often, if requested by the Collateral Agent, in its
sole discretion during the existence of an Event of Default). The Collateral
Agent shall select any and all appraisers in its sole discretion. The Borrowers
will reimburse the Collateral Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with each such Appraisal.

    7.5
         Insurance.

(a)     Parent shall
maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially
sound and reputable insurers having a rating of at least A+ or better by Best
Rating Guide, insurance against loss or damage by fire with extended coverage;
theft, burglary, pilferage and loss in transit; public liability and third party
property damage; larceny, embezzlement or other criminal liability; business
interruption; public liability and third party property damage; and such other
hazards or of such other types as is customary for Persons

-39-

     

 

engaged in the same
or similar business, and in amounts consistent with past practices, and under
policies, customary for Persons engaged in the same or similar business. Without
limiting the foregoing, in the event that any improved Real Estate covered by
the Mortgages is determined to be located within an area that has been
identified by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a
Special Flood Hazard Area ("SFHA"), the applicable Borrower
shall purchase and maintain flood insurance on the improved Real Estate and any
Equipment and Inventory located on such Real Estate. The amount of said flood
insurance will be reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent, and shall, at a
minimum, comply with applicable federal regulations as required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Borrowers shall also maintain
flood insurance for their Inventory and Equipment which is, at any time, located
in a SFHA.

(b)     Each Borrower shall
cause the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent, the
Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, to be named as secured party or
mortgagee and sole loss payee or additional insured, in a manner acceptable to
the Collateral Agent. Each policy of insurance shall contain a clause or
endorsement requiring the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days’
prior written notice to the Collateral Agent in the event of cancellation of the
policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause or endorsement stating that the
interest of the Collateral Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act
or neglect of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the owner of any Real
Estate for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy. All
premiums for such insurance shall be paid by the Borrowers when due, and
certificates of insurance and, if requested by the Collateral Agent or any
Lender, photocopies of the policies, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent.
If any Borrower fails to procure such insurance or to pay the premiums therefor
when due, the Collateral Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders
shall, do so from the proceeds of Revolving Loans.

    7.6
         Insurance and
    Condemnation Proceeds.      The Borrowers shall
promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Lenders of any loss, damage, or
destruction to the Collateral, whether or not covered by insurance, in excess of
$100,000. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to collect all insurance and
condemnation proceeds in respect of Collateral (other than Collateral subject to
a prior Permitted Lien permitted under clauses (i), (j), (k),
(l) or (m) of the definition of "Permitted Liens")
directly and to apply or remit them as follows:

(a)     With respect to
insurance and condemnation proceeds relating to such Collateral other than Fixed
Assets, after deducting from such proceeds the reasonable expenses, if any,
incurred by the Collateral Agent in the collection or handling thereof, the
Collateral Agent shall apply such proceeds, ratably, to the reduction of the
Obligations in the order provided for in Section 3.8.

(b)     With respect to
insurance and condemnation proceeds relating to such Collateral consisting of
Fixed Assets, the Collateral Agent shall permit or require the Borrowers to use
such proceeds, or any part thereof, to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the
relevant Fixed Assets in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and
workmanship of substantially the same quality as existed before the loss, damage
or destruction so long as (i) no

-40-

     

 

Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, (ii) the aggregate proceeds do not exceed $250,000 and
(iii) the Borrowers first (A) provide the Collateral Agent and the Required
Lenders with plans and specifications for any such repair or restoration which
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Required
Lenders and (B) demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Collateral
Agent and the Required Lenders that the funds available to them will be
sufficient to complete such project in the manner provided therein. In all other
circumstances, the Collateral Agent shall apply such insurance and condemnation
proceeds, ratably, to the reduction of the Obligations in the order provided for
in Section 3.4(d).

    7.7
         Environmental
    Laws.

(a)     Each Borrower
shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct its business in
compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to it, including those
relating to the generation, handling, use, storage, and disposal of any
Contaminant, except where such failure could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, take prompt and appropriate action, in accordance with any
applicable Environmental Law, to respond to any non-compliance or alleged
non-compliance with Environmental Laws and shall promptly report to the
Collateral Agent on such response.

(b)     Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall submit to the Collateral
Agent and the Lenders annually, commencing on the first Anniversary Date, and on
each Anniversary Date thereafter, an update of the status of each environmental
compliance or liability issue that could be reasonably be expected to result in
liabilities or costs in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate. The Collateral
Agent or any Lender shall be provided, upon request, copies of any studies,
audits, assessments or other reports prepared by any Borrower or Person and any
communications by or between any Borrower or any Governmental Authority related
to such environmental issue to determine whether each Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is proceeding reasonably to correct, cure or contest in good faith
any alleged non-compliance or environmental liability. Each Borrower shall, at
the Collateral Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ request and at the Borrowers’
expense, (i) retain an independent environmental engineer acceptable to the
Collateral Agent to evaluate the site, including tests if appropriate, where the
non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with Environmental Laws which could
reasonably be expected to result in liabilities or costs in excess of $10,000
with respect to any Real Estate owned by a RoadOne Borrower, or $100,000 with
respect to any Real Estate owned by a Miller Borrower, has occurred and prepare
and deliver to the Collateral Agent, in sufficient quantity for distribution by
the Collateral Agent to the Lenders, a report setting forth the results of such
evaluation, a proposed plan for responding to any environmental problems
described therein, and an estimate of the costs thereof, and (ii) provide to the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders a supplemental report of such engineer whenever
the scope of any environmental problems which could reasonably be expected to
result in liabilities or costs in excess of $10,000 with respect to any Real
Estate owned by a RoadOne Borrower, or $100,000 with respect to any Real Estate
owned by a Miller Borrower, or the response thereto or the estimated costs
thereof, shall increase in any material respect.

-41-

     

 

(c)     The Collateral
Agent and its representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to
enter and visit the Real Estate and any other place where any property of any
Borrower is located for the purposes of observing or investigating the Real
Estate and activities thereon, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples,
and conducting tests on any part of the Real Estate, provided that the Borrowers
shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with
such activities in the absence of an Event of Default. The Collateral Agent is
under no duty, however, to visit or observe the Real Estate or to conduct tests,
and any such acts by the Collateral Agent will be solely for the purposes of
protecting the Collateral Agent’s Liens and preserving the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders’ rights under the Loan Documents. No site visit, observation
or testing by the Collateral Agent and the Lenders will result in a waiver of
any default of any Borrower or impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or
the Lenders. In no event will any site visit, observation or testing by the
Collateral Agent be a representation that Contaminants are or are not present
in, on or under the Real Estate, or that there has been or will be compliance or
non-compliance with any Environmental Law. Neither any Borrower nor any other
party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and the Lenders owe no duty of care to
protect any Borrower or any other party against, or, unless otherwise required
by any applicable Environmental Law, to inform any Borrower or any other party
of the presence of any Contaminants or any other adverse condition affecting the
Real Estate. The Collateral Agent may in its discretion disclose to any Borrower
or to any other party if so required by law any report or findings made as a
result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation or testing by the
Collateral Agent. Each Borrower understands and agrees that the Collateral Agent
makes no warranty or representation to any Borrower or any other party regarding
the truth, accuracy or completeness of any such report or findings that may be
disclosed. Each Borrower also understands that depending on the results of any
site visit, observation or testing by the Collateral Agent and disclosed to any
Borrower, such Borrower may have a legal obligation to notify one or more
Governmental Authorities of the results, that such reporting requirements are
site-specific, and are to be evaluated by such Borrower without advice or
assistance from the Collateral Agent. In each instance, the Collateral Agent
will give the Borrowers’ Agent reasonable notice before entering the Real
Estate or any other place the Collateral Agent is permitted to enter under this Section 7.7(c).
The Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with the
applicable Borrower’s use of the Real Estate or any other property in
exercising any rights provided hereunder.

    7.8
         Compliance
    with ERISA.      Each Borrower shall,
and shall cause each of its ERISA Affiliates to: (a) maintain each Plan in
compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the
Code and other federal or state law; (b) cause each Plan which is qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code to maintain such qualification; (c) make all
required contributions to any Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, except to
the extent the failure to make any such contribution could not reasonably be
expected to result in liabilities to the Borrowers in excess of $250,000; (d)
not engage in a prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary
responsibility rules with respect to any Plan which could reasonably be expected
to result in liabilities to the Borrowers in excess of $250,000; and (e) not
engage in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of
    ERISA.

    7.9
         Mergers,
    Consolidations or Sales.      Neither any Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any transaction of merger,
reorganization, or consolidation, or transfer, sell, assign, lease, or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of its property, or wind up, liquidate or dissolve,
or agree to do any of the foregoing, except (a) for sales of Inventory to
non-Affiliates in the ordinary course of its business, and for sales of
Inventory in the ordinary course of business to Miller Borrowers that are
distributors, (b) for sales of Inventory by the Miller Borrowers in the ordinary
course of business to the Foreign Subsidiaries and the RoadOne Borrowers,
provided that (i) the purchase price for such Inventory shall at least equal the
Miller Borrowers’ cost with respect thereto and shall be due and payable
within thirty (30) days after the date of such sale, and (ii) all such Inventory
purchased by the Designated Subsidiaries shall be subject to the perfected first
priority Lien of the Miller Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the
Intercompany Security Documents, (c) for transfers of other assets in the
ordinary course of business among the Miller Borrowers, provided that at all
times the Agent’s Liens in such assets remain perfected, (d) for transfers of
other assets in the ordinary course of business among the RoadOne Borrowers,
provided that at all times the Agent’s Liens in such assets remain perfected,
(e) for mergers of any Miller Borrower with and into another Miller Borrower,

for sales or other dispositions of Fixed Assets in the ordinary course of
business that are obsolete or no longer useable by the Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries in their business with an orderly liquidation value not to exceed
$100,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year; provided, that (i) within one
hundred twenty (120) days following each such Fixed Assets sale or disposition,
the Borrowers shall either (A) reinvest the proceeds of that sale or disposition
in other Fixed Assets or (B) apply such proceeds to the Loans in accordance with
Sections 3.4(b) and (d), and (ii) Fixed Assets purchased with such
proceeds shall be free and clear of all Liens, except the Agent’s Liens, (g)
that RoadOne Borrowers (but not any Miller Borrower, except in the case of the
sale of the capital stock of any RoadOne Borrower) may effect one or more Asset
Dispositions, so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default exists or will
result therefrom, (ii) all proceeds of such Asset Disposition are payable in
cash at the time of the consummation of such Asset Disposition, (iii) all Net
Proceeds therefrom are applied in accordance with Section 3.4(b), (iv)
the Borrowers shall, after giving effect to such Asset Disposition, be in pro
forma compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant set forth in Section 7.24
(for purposes of this clause (iv), such EBITDA test shall be measured as
of the most recently ended fiscal month for the twelve fiscal month period then
ended and shall be calculated as if such Asset Disposition had been consummated
on the first day of such twelve fiscal month period), (v) the Net Proceeds from
any such Asset Disposition are not less than the Net Senior Creditor Proceeds
plus the amount of the Required Payments; provided, that, with respect to any
single Asset Disposition involving more than one category of Collateral
described in the definition of "Net Senior Creditor Proceeds", this clause
(v) shall be satisfied if the total Net Proceeds from such Asset Disposition
equals or exceeds the sum of the amounts otherwise required under the definition
of "Net Senior Creditor Proceeds" plus the amount of the Required
Payments, and (vi) a Responsible Officer shall have delivered a certificate to
the Collateral Agent containing the information and calculations necessary (in
such detail as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request) to establish that
such Asset Disposition is permitted hereunder, and (h) for sales or other
dispositions of Fleet Vehicles in the ordinary course of business that are
obsolete or no longer used or useful by the RoadOne Borrowers in their

-43-

     

     

    business,
provided that the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, make adjustments to
the RoadOne Borrowing Base to reflect any such sale or disposition.

    Capital Change; Restricted Investments.      Neither any Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (a) directly or indirectly declare or make, or
incur any liability to make, any Distribution, except (i) Distributions by any
Subsidiary to its parent corporation, and (ii) so long as no Event of Default
exists, Distributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 by Parent to
its shareholders constituting repurchases of fractional shares of stock by
Parent in connection with the consummation of any reverse stock split, (b) make
any change in its capital structure which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, or (c) make any Restricted Investment.

    7.11
         Transactions

nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any transaction which could be

    9.2
         Remedies.

(a)     If a Default or an
Event of Default exists, the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, and shall,
at the direction of the Required Lenders, do one or more of the following at any
time or times and in any order, without notice to or
demand on any Borrower: (i) reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount, or the
advance rates against any Collateral used in computing the Borrowing Base, or
reduce one or more of the other elements used in computing the Borrowing Base;
(ii) restrict the amount of or refuse to make Revolving Loans; and (iii)
restrict or refuse to provide Letters of Credit. If an Event of Default exists,
the Collateral Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, do one or
more of the following, in addition to the actions described in the preceding
sentence, at any time or times and in any order, without notice to or demand on
any Borrower: (A) terminate the Commitments and this Agreement; (B) declare
any or all Obligations to be immediately due and payable; provided, however,
that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.1(e)
or 9.1(f), the Commitments shall automatically and immediately expire and
all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable without
notice or demand of any kind; (C) require the Borrowers to cash collateralize
all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations; and (D) pursue its other rights
and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law.

(b)     If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) the Collateral Agent shall have
for the benefit of the Lenders, in addition to all other rights of the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Loan Documents, the UCC and all other applicable laws; (ii) the
Collateral Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it
on any Borrower’s premises, at no cost to the Collateral Agent or any Lender,
or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Collateral Agent
may desire, or the Borrowers shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, at the
Borrowers’ cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent; and
(iii) the Collateral Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or
private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon

-55-

     

 

such
terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may,
if the Collateral Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the
Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed
or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Without in any way
requiring notice to be given in the following manner, the Borrowers agree that
any notice by the Collateral Agent of sale, disposition or other intended action
hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise,
shall constitute reasonable notice to the Borrowers if such notice is mailed by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is
delivered personally against receipt, at least five (5) Business Days prior to
such action to the Borrowers’ Agent’s address specified in or pursuant to Section 13.8.
If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of
sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Collateral
Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the
Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to any
Borrower. In the event the Collateral Agent seeks to take possession of all or
any portion of the Collateral by judicial process, each Borrower irrevocably
waives: (A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto
which might otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the
commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any
requirement that the Collateral Agent retain possession and not dispose of any
Collateral until after trial or final judgment. Each Borrower agrees that the
Collateral Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or
marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. The proceeds of sale shall
be applied first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and then
to the Obligations. The Collateral Agent will return any excess to the Borrowers’
Agent and the Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(c)     If an Event of
Default occurs, each Borrower hereby waives all rights to notice and hearing
prior to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the Collateral Agent’s rights
to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to reply, attach or levy
upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.

consent with respect to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders
(or by the Collateral Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and
the Borrowers’ Agent and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective

        (v)     increase

time specified for submission thereof.

(c)     If, in connection
with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent (a "Proposed Change")
requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is
obtained, but the consent of other Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender
whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a "Non-Consenting
Lender"), then, so long as the Agents are not Non-Consenting Lenders,
at the Borrowers’ request, the Agents or an Eligible Assignee shall have the
right (but not the obligation) with the Agents’ approval, to purchase from the
Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall
sell, all the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments for an amount equal to the
principal balances thereof and all accrued interest and fees with respect
thereto through the date of sale pursuant to Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement(s), without premium or discount.

    11.2
         Assignments;
    Participations.

(a)     Any Lender may,
with the written consent of the Collateral Agent and, unless an Event of Default
exists, Parent, in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no consent
of the Collateral Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and
delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an "Assignee")
all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other
rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated
all of its Loans and Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be
permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a
Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000); provided, however,
that the Borrowers and the Collateral Agent may continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an
Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment
instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee,
shall have been given to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Collateral Agent by such
Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have
delivered to the Borrowers’ Agent and the Collateral Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance in the form of Exhibit E ("Assignment and
Acceptance"), and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the
Collateral Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.

-58-

     

 

(b)     From and after the
date that the Collateral Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received
an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced
processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the
obligation to participate in Letters of Credit have been assigned to it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish
its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c)     By executing and
delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the
Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties
hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance,
such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection,
or priority of any Lien granted by any Borrower to the Collateral Agent or any
Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition
of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant
hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without
reliance upon the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender 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 action
under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Collateral
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and
incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender.

(d)     Immediately upon
satisfaction of the requirements of Section 11.2(a), this Agreement shall
be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to
reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the
Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall
reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e)     Any Lender may at
any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other
Persons not Affiliates of Parent (a "Participant")
participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the
other interests of that Lender (the

"originating Lender")
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however,
that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers
and the Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the
originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no
Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver
with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters
set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), and all
amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the
right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under
this Agreement.

(f)     Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security
interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in
this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR &sec;203.14, and such
Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner
permitted under applicable law.

THE
AGENTS

    12.1
         Appointment
    and Authorization.      Each Lender hereby
designates and appoints CIT as its Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions
contained in this Article 12. The provisions of this Article 12
are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and the
Borrowers shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the
Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to
have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the
use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the
Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended
to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the

-60-

     

     

    Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to
exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking
or refraining from taking any actions which the Collateral Agent is expressly
entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria
with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base, the Miller Borrowing Base
and the RoadOne Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section
1.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9.2, and
any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

    12.2
    

    Delegation
    of Duties.      The Collateral Agent
may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by
or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made
without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    12.3
         Liability
    of the Collateral Agent.      None of the
Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any
of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by
any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer
thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall
be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s Subsidiaries or
Affiliates.

    12.4
         Reliance
    by the Collateral Agent.      The Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and
other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so
requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of
the Required

-61-

     

     

    Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all of the Lenders.

    12.5
         Notice
    of Default.      The Collateral Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default
or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written
notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of
default." The Collateral Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of
any such notice. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in
accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that
unless and until the Collateral Agent has received any such request, the
Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable.

    12.6
         Credit
    Decision.      Each Lender
acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation
or warranty to it, and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of any Borrower and its Affiliates, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person
to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Collateral Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers
and their Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers. Each Lender also represents
that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for field examinations, asset
appraisals and notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to
be furnished to the Lenders by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall
not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower which may come
into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

    12.7
         Indemnification.      Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on
behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to
do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 13.11; provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the
Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting
solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Collateral Agent
upon

-62-

     

     

    demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities
under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by
or referred to herein, to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed
for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this
Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the
resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent.

    12.8
         Agent
    in Individual Capacity.      CIT and its
Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept
deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though CIT were not the
Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. CIT
or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower, its Affiliates
and Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of a Borrower or such Subsidiary) and
acknowledge that the Collateral Agent and CIT shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, CIT shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent, and the terms
"Lender" and "Lenders" include CIT in its individual
capacity.

    12.9
         Successor
    Collateral Agent.      The Collateral Agent
may resign as Agent upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the
Lenders and the Borrowers’ Agent, such resignation to be effective upon the
acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. In the
event CIT sells all of its Commitment and Loans as part of a sale, transfer or
other disposition by CIT of substantially all of its loan portfolio, CIT shall
resign as the Collateral Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the
successor Collateral Agent hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, if the
Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor collateral agent for the Lenders. If
no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint, after
consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers’ Agent, a successor collateral
agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent
and the term "Collateral Agent" shall mean such successor collateral
agent and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as
Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 12
shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

    12.10
         Withholding
    Tax.

(a)     If any Lender is a
"foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the
Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S.

-63-

     

 

withholding
tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in
favor of the Collateral Agent, to deliver to the Collateral Agent:

  

        (i)     if such
        Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax
        under a United States of America tax treaty, properly completed IRS
        Forms W-8BEN and W-8ECI before the payment of any interest in the first
        calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third
        succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this
        Agreement;

        (ii)     if such
        Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from
        United States of America withholding tax because it is effectively
        connected with a United States of America trade or business of such
        Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI
        before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of
        such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during
        which interest may be paid under this Agreement, and IRS Form W-9; and

        (iii)     such
        other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of
        the United States of America as a condition to exemption from, or
        reduction of, United States of America withholding tax.

  

Such Lender agrees to
promptly notify the Collateral Agent of any change in circumstances which would
modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b)     If any Lender
claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States of
America tax treaty by providing IRS Form FW-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns,
grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations
owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Collateral Agent of the
percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations
of the Borrowers to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the
Collateral Agent will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

(c)     If any Lender
claiming exemption from United States of America withholding tax by filing IRS
Form W-8ECI with the Collateral Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in,
or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations owing to such Lender, such
Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the
withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(d)      If any Lender is
entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Collateral Agent
may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to
the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the
forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section
are not delivered to the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent may
withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or
other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

-64-

     

 

(e)     If the IRS or any
other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other
jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Collateral Agent did not properly withhold
tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the
appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such
Lender failed to notify the Collateral Agent of a change in circumstances which
rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or
for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Collateral Agent fully for
all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Collateral Agent as tax or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Collateral Agent under this
Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The
obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all
Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent.

    12.11
         Collateral
    Matters.

(a)     The Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its sole
discretion, to release any Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral (i) upon the
termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by the
Borrowers of all Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of
Credit, and the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not
any of such obligations are due) and all other Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification Obligations under this Agreement for which no
liability then exists); (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed
of if the Borrowers certify to the Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition
is made in compliance with Section 7.9 (and the Collateral Agent may
rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry);
(iii) constituting property in which the Borrowers owned no interest at the
time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) constituting
property leased to a Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated
in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, the
Collateral Agent will not release any of the Collateral Agent’s Liens without
the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided that the
Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, release the Agent’s Liens on
Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $500,000 during each Fiscal
Year. Upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Borrowers’ Agent at any
time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to
release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral
pursuant to this Section 12.11.

(b)     Upon receipt by the
Collateral Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section 12.11(a)
from the Lenders of the Collateral Agent’s authority to release Agent’s
Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5)
Business Days prior written request by the Borrowers’ Agent, the Collateral
Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute
such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Collateral
Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i)
the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms
which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to
liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the
release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall
not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens
(other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the
Borrowers in respect of)

-65-

     

 

all interests retained by the Borrowers, including the
proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the
Collateral.

(c)     The Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that
the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrowers or is cared for, protected or
insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced
or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any
particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to
continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it
being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act,
omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it
may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Collateral Agent’s own
interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the
Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender
as to any of the foregoing.

    12.12
         Restrictions
    on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a)     Each of the Lenders
agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of all other Lenders, and
that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request
of all Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such
Lender to any Borrower or any accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter
maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall
not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Collateral Agent, take or
cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or
against any Borrower, including the commencement of any legal or equitable
proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security
interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b)     If at any time or
times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise,
any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of
any Borrower to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such
Lender from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
(ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of such Lender’s
ratable portion of all such distributions by the Collateral Agent, such Lender
shall promptly (1) turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with
such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral
Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the
Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other
Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among
the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however,
that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is
thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be
rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the
purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but
without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to
pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

-66-

     

     

    12.13     Agency
    for Perfection.      Each Lender hereby
appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’
security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can
be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral
Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the
Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request
therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance
with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

    12.14
         Payments
    by the Collateral Agent to Lenders.      All payments to be
made by the Collateral Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer
or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender pursuant to
wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Collateral Agent on or
prior to the Closing Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable
Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions
as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Collateral
Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Collateral Agent shall identify
whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or
interest on the Revolving Loans, Term Loans or otherwise. Unless the Collateral
Agent receives notice from the Borrowers’ Agent prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrowers will not make such payment in
full as and when required, the Collateral Agent may assume that the Borrowers
have made such payment in full to the Collateral Agent on such date in
immediately available funds and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be so
required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the
extent the Borrowers have not made such payment in full to the Collateral Agent,
each Lender shall repay to the Collateral Agent on demand such amount
distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until
the date repaid.

    12.15
         Settlement.

(a)     (i)     Each Lender’s
funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to be equal at
all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans.
Notwithstanding such agreement, the Collateral Agent, CIT, and the other Lenders
agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the
Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to
the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent Advances shall take
place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(ii)     The Collateral
Agent shall request settlement ("Settlement") with the Lenders
on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis at Agent’s election,
(A) on behalf of CIT, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for
itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections
received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by
telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested
Settlement, no later than 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date of such
requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Each Lender (other than
CIT, in the case of Non-Ratable Loans and the Collateral Agent in the case of
Agent Advances) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the

-67-

     

 

outstanding principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances
with respect to each Settlement to the Collateral Agent, to the Collateral Agent’s
account, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time), on the Settlement
Date applicable thereto. Settlements may occur during the continuation of a
Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article 8 have then been satisfied. Such
amounts made available to the Collateral Agent shall be applied against the
amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and, together with
the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing the Bank’s
Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any
such amount is not transferred to the Collateral Agent by any Lender on the
Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at
the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the
Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the
Revolving Loans (A) on behalf of CIT, with respect to each outstanding
Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance.

(iii)     Notwithstanding
the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the
Collateral Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default and regardless of whether the Collateral Agent has requested a
Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance), each other
Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from CIT
or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance
equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent
Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such
Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by CIT or the Collateral Agent,
as applicable, shall pay to CIT or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, as the
purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent
(100%) of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent
Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Collateral Agent
by any Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on
demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate
for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the
Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans.

(iv)     From and after the
date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and
participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause
(iii) above, the Collateral Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender,
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all
proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent in respect of such
Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance.

(v)     Between Settlement
Dates, the Collateral Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding,
may pay over to CIT any payments received by the Collateral Agent, which in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of
the Revolving Loans, for application to CIT’s Revolving Loans including
Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the
then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to CIT’s
Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances in which such
Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a

-68-

     

 

participation pursuant to clause (iii)
above), as provided for in the previous sentence, CIT shall pay to the
Collateral Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the
outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender
shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro
Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates,
CIT with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, the Collateral Agent with respect to
Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than
Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the
applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average
daily amount of funds employed by CIT, the Collateral Agent and the other
Lenders.

(vi)     Unless the
Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Lender to the contrary, the
Collateral Agent may assume that the applicable conditions precedent set forth
in Article 8 have been satisfied and the requested Borrowing will
not cause the Borrowers to exceed Availability, Miller Availability or RoadOne
Availability, as the case may be, on any Funding Date for a Revolving Loan or
Non-Ratable Loan.

(b)     Lenders’
Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and
Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance
with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be
responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to
make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be
increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform
its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any
Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall
excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans
hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several,
not joint and several.

(c)     Defaulting
Lenders. Unless the Collateral Agent receives notice from a Lender on or
prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing
Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such
Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Collateral
Agent that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Collateral Agent may
assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Collateral Agent
in immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Collateral
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on
such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred its full Pro
Rata Share to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, and the
Collateral Agent has transferred the corresponding amount to the Borrowers, on
the Business Day following such Funding Date that Lender shall make such amount
available to the Collateral Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds
Rate for that day. A notice by the Collateral Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If each
Lender’s full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Collateral Agent as
required, the amount transferred to the Collateral Agent shall constitute that
Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is
not transferred to the Collateral Agent on the Business Day following the
Funding Date, the Collateral Agent will notify the Borrowers’ Agent of such
failure to fund and, upon demand by the Collateral Agent, the Borrowers shall
pay such amount to the Collateral Agent for the Collateral Agent’s account,
together with interest thereon for each day

-69-

     

 

elapsed since the date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time
to the Revolving Loans comprising that particular Borrowing. The failure of any
Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding Date (any such Lender, prior to
the cure of such failure, being hereinafter referred to as a "Defaulting
Lender") shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder
to make a Revolving Loan on that Funding Date. No Lender shall be responsible
for any other Lender’s failure to advance such other Lenders’ Pro Rata Share
of any Borrowing.

(d)     Retention of
Defaulting Lender’s Payments. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by any Borrower to the
Collateral Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting
Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to
a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the Collateral
Agent. In its discretion, the Collateral Agent may loan the Borrowers the amount
of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such
Defaulting Lender. Any amounts so loaned to the Borrowers shall bear interest at
the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans and for all other purposes of
this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Revolving Loans, provided,
however, that for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to
the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall
be deemed not to be a "Lender". Until a Defaulting Lender cures its
failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender
shall not be entitled to any portion of the Unused Line Fee and (B) the Unused
Line Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective
Pro Rata Shares of such requested Borrowing and shall be allocated among such
performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments. This Section
shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until such time as the
Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under
this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall not be construed to increase or
otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the
performance by the Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder.

(e)     Removal of
Defaulting Lender. At the Borrowers’ Agent’s request, the Collateral
Agent or an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and
the Borrowers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from any
Defaulting Lender, and each Defaulting Lender shall, upon such request, sell and
assign to the Collateral Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Defaulting
Lender’s outstanding Commitments hereunder. Such sale shall be consummated
promptly after the Collateral Agent has arranged for a purchase by the
Collateral Agent or an Eligible Assignee pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance, and at a price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the
Defaulting Lender’s Loans, plus accrued interest and fees, without premium or
discount.

    12.16
         Letters of
    Credit; Intra-Lender Issues.

(a)     Notice of Letter
of Credit Balance. On each Settlement Date the Collateral Agent shall notify
each Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit since the prior Settlement
Date.

(b)     Participations
in Letters of Credit.

-70-

     

 

(i)     Purchase of
Participations.      Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in
accordance with Section 1.4(d), each Lender shall be deemed to have
irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (including all
obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto, and any security therefor or
guaranty pertaining thereto).

(ii)     Sharing of
Reimbursement Obligation Payments.     When- ever the Collateral Agent receives
a payment from the Borrowers on account of reimbursement obligations in respect
of a Letter of Credit as to which the Collateral Agent has previously received
for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Lender,
the Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such payment from the Borrowers. Each such payment shall be made by the
Collateral Agent on the next Settlement Date.

(iii)      Documentation.     
Upon the request of any Lender, the Collateral Agent shall furnish to such
Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in
connection therewith, applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other
documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender.

(iv)      Obligations
Irrevocable.      The obligations of each Lender to make payments to the
Collateral Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or with respect to their
participation therein or with respect to the Revolving Loans made as a result of
a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower for whose
account the Letter of Credit was issued to make payments to the Collateral
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall be irrevocable and shall not be
subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the
following circumstances:

(1)      any lack of
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(2)
     the existence of
any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any
time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any
Lender, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying
transactions between any Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named
in any Letter of Credit);

(3)      any draft,
certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving
to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(4)      the surrender or
impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms
of any of the Loan Documents;

-71-

     

 

(5)     the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default; or

(6)     the failure of any
Borrower to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8.

(c)     Recovery or
Avoidance of Payments; Refund of Payments In Error. In the event any payment
by or on behalf of any Borrower received by the Collateral Agent with respect to
any Letter of Credit and distributed by the Collateral Agent to the Lenders on
account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside,
avoided or recovered from the Collateral Agent in connection with any
receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, the Lenders shall, upon
demand by the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent their respective Pro
Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with
interest at the rate required to be paid by the Collateral Agent upon the amount
required to be repaid by it. Unless the Collateral Agent receives notice from
the Borrowers’ Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Lenders that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when
required, the Collateral Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such
payment in full to the Collateral Agent on such date in immediately available
funds and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal
to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers have not
made such payment in full to the Collateral Agent, each Lender shall repay to
the Collateral Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(d)     Indemnification
by Lenders. To the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without
limiting the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, the Lenders agree to
indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer ratably in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Letter of Credit Issuer in
any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions
contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit
Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection therewith; provided
that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Issuer.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Letter
of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or
expenses payable by the Borrowers to the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent
that the Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and
expenses by the Borrowers. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive
payment in full of all other Obligations.

    12.17
         Concerning
    the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents.      Each Lender
authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the other Loan
Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent or
Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral

-72-

     

     

    Agent or the
Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or
herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto,
shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the
Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Agent Advances, Non-Ratable Loans, Hedge
Agreements, Bank Products and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder
constitute one Debt, secured pari passu by all of the Collateral.

    12.18
         Field
    Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders.     By signing this
Agreement, each Lender:

  

        (a)     is deemed
        to have requested that the Collateral Agent furnish such Lender,
        promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or
        examination report (each a "Report" and collectively,
        "Reports") prepared by or on behalf of the Collateral
        Agent;

        (b)     expressly
        agrees and acknowledges that neither CIT nor the Collateral Agent (i)
        makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report,
        or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report;

        (c)     expressly
        agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or
        examinations, that the Collateral Agent or CIT or other party performing
        any audit or examination will inspect only specific information
        regarding the Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the Borrowers’
        books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrowers’
        personnel;

        (d)     agrees to
        keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not
        to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other
        manner; and

        (e)     without
        limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained
        in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Collateral Agent and any such
        other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the

    12.20
         Co-Agents.

(a)     Existing Titled
Collateral Agent. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Borrowers have
granted a Lien in the Existing Titled Collateral to Bank of America, as Existing
Titled Collateral Agent to secure the Obligations. Each Lender hereby designates
and appoints Bank of America as its Existing Titled Collateral Agent and each
Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Existing Titled Collateral Agent to
take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each
other Loan Document and to exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to it
by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such
powers are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b)     Attorney-in-Fact.
Bank of America hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Collateral Agent
as its attorney-in-fact to take all actions, and execute and deliver all
agreements, title applications and amendments, UCC financing statements and
amendments, and other documents and instruments, on behalf of Bank of America,
as Existing Titled Collateral Agent, with respect to the Existing Titled
Collateral and the Existing Certificates of Title, including (i) to deal
exclusively with the Custodial Administrator on all matters relating to the
Existing Titled Collateral and the Existing Certificates of Title pursuant to
the Custodial Administration Agreement, (ii) to execute and file all title
applications and amendments and all UCC financing statements and amendments on
behalf and in the name of Bank of America, as Existing Titled Collateral Agent,
as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement in order to note or release the Lien
of the Existing Titled Collateral Agent in the Existing Titled Collateral and
the Existing Certificates of Title and to perfect, continue or release the Lien
of the Existing Titled Collateral Agent in the Existing Titled Collateral and
the Existing Certificates of Title, and (iii) to exercise all of the Existing
Titled Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Existing
Titled Collateral and the Existing Certificates of Title. In exercising its
rights under this power of attorney, the Collateral Agent shall in all respects
be entitled to the benefit of all of the other provisions of this Article 12,
including all Lender indemnities set forth herein. The Borrowers agree that all
rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent set forth in this Agreement and the
Security Agreement with respect to "Collateral" shall include the
Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Titled
Collateral and Existing Certificates of Title in accordance with this Section
12.20.

(c)     Limited Duties
of Co-Agents. Without in any manner limiting the Lien of the Existing Titled
Collateral Agent in the Existing Titled Collateral and the Existing Certificates
and its rights and remedies with respect thereto, the parties hereto agree that
Bank of America shall have no obligations, liabilities, responsibilities or
duties under this Agreement, in its capacity as Existing Titled Collateral
Agent, Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent. Bank of America shall not have
or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on Bank of America in
deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder.

(d)     Resignation as
Existing Titled Collateral Agent. The Existing Titled Collateral Agent may
resign as Existing Titled Collateral Agent upon at least thirty (30)

-74-

     

 

days’
prior notice to the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers’ Agent,
such resignation to be effective upon the date set forth in such resignation
notice. In the event Bank of America sells all of its Commitment and Loans as
part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by Bank of America of
substantially all of its loan portfolio, Bank of America shall resign as the
Existing Titled Collateral Agent. Immediately upon the effectiveness of any such
resignation, the Collateral Agent shall succeed to all the rights of the
resigning Existing Titled Collateral Agent and the term "Existing Titled
Collateral Agent" shall mean the Collateral Agent and the resigning
Existing Titled Collateral Agent’s appointment as Existing Titled Collateral
Agent shall be terminated. The Borrowers shall take all actions at their sole
cost and expense as the Collateral Agent, as successor Existing Titled
Collateral Agent, may deem necessary or appropriate in order to continue the
perfection of the Existing Titled Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Existing
Titled Collateral and the Existing Certificates of Title, including the
execution and filing of all title applications and amendments and all UCC
financing statements and amendments as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary
or appropriate. After any resigning Existing Titled Collateral Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Existing Titled Collateral Agent, the applicable
provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit
as to all matters arising prior to its resignation as Existing Titled Collateral
Agent under this Agreement.

(e)     New Titled
Collateral. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges that, pursuant to the
Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent has been granted a Lien in all
hereafter arising Titled Collateral as security for the Obligations and that the
Collateral Agent shall be noted as first lienholder on all certificates of title
and other comparable documents relating to such hereafter arising Titled
Collateral.

Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under
this Agreement or any present or future supplement thereto, or in any other
agreement between or among any Borrower and the Collateral Agent and/or any
Lender, or delay by the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising the same,
will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Collateral Agent or any
Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent
specifically stated. No waiver by the Collateral Agent or the Lenders on any
occasion shall affect or diminish the Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s
rights thereafter to require strict performance by the Borrowers of any
provision of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent and the Lenders may proceed
directly to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this
Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy
which the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have.

    13.2
         Severability.    The illegality or

expressly provided herein, each Borrower waives presentment, and notice of
demand or dishonor and protest as to any instrument, notice of intent to
accelerate the Obligations and notice of acceleration of the Obligations, as

Persons so agree, inure to any party acquiring any interest in the Obligations
or any part thereof.

    13.11
         Indemnity
    of the Agents and the Lenders by the Borrowers.

(a)     To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Borrowers agree to defend, indemnify and hold the
Agent-Related Persons, and each Lender, their parents, Affiliates and

counsel, representatives, successors, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an
"Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following
repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the
Collateral Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any such Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or
the

-80-

     

 

transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such
Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect
to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency
Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof,
whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing,
collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided,
that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person
with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in
this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

(b)     To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Borrowers agree to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless each Indemnified Person from any claim, demand, damages, penalties,
fines, costs (including without limitation reasonable and actual attorneys’
fees and expenses), loss or other liability, of any type whatsoever
(collectively, "Damages") imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnified Person, directly or indirectly, arising out of (i) the use,
generation, manufacture, production, storage, Release, threatened Release,
discharge, disposal or presence of any Contaminant relating to any Borrower’s
operations, business or property, or (ii) any Damages arising from or related to
any non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with any Environmental Laws with
respect to any Borrower or Borrower’s operations, business or Property; provided,
however, that such indemnity shall not apply to any Damages to the extent
resulting from the willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person. This indemnity
shall apply whether the Contaminant is on, under or about, or migrated from or
originated at any Borrower’s property or operations or property leased to any
Borrower, provided, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any
indemnify any Person with respect to any loss or liability to the extent
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

    13.12
         Limitation of
    Liability.      NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE
BY ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR OTHER PERSON AGAINST ANY AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR
THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, COUNSEL, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS
OR ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT OF ANY OF THEM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT
OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND EACH BORROWER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY
WAIVE, RELEASE AND AGREE NOT TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR
NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

    13.13
         Final
    Agreement.      This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are intended by the Borrowers, the Agents and the
Lenders to be the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement
between them. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral or written
agreements relating to the subject matter hereof, except for the Fee Letter. No
modification, rescission, waiver, release, or amendment of any

-81-

     

     

    provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, except by a written
agreement signed by the Borrowers and a duly authorized officer of each of the
Collateral Agent and the requisite Lenders.

    13.14
          Counterparts.      This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, and by the Agents, each Lender and the
Borrowers in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all
of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement; signature pages
may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single
counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same
document.

    13.15
         Captions.      The captions
contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without
substantive meaning and should not be construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict
any provision.

    13.16
         Right
    of Setoff.      In addition to any
rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default
exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time
and from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice
being waived by the Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such
Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of
any Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or
hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent or such
Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and
although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrowers’ Agent and the Collateral Agent after any
such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE
ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
OR PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR
WRITTEN UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE LENDERS.

    13.17
         Confidentiality.

(a)     The Borrowers
hereby agree that the Agents and each Lender may prepare and disseminate
"tombstone" and other similar advertising and promotional materials
describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement,
including the names and addresses of the Borrowers, the amount of the credit
facilities hereunder, and a general description of the Borrowers’ business.

(b)     Each Lender
severally agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care
to maintain the confidentiality of all information identified as
"confidential" or "secret" by the Borrowers and provided to
the Collateral Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent that such information
(i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of
disclosure by the Collateral Agent or such Lender, or (ii) was or becomes
available on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers,
provided that such source is not

-82-

     

 

bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
Borrowers known to the Collateral Agent or such Lender; provided, however,
