 ii

This Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of
July 31, 2006 (this “Agreement”) is
between J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc.,
a Georgia corporation (“Originator”),
and JBH Receivables LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).  The parties agree as follows:

Section 1.           Definitions and Related Matters.

Section 1.1.           Defined
Terms.  In this Agreement,
unless otherwise specified or defined herein: (a) capitalized terms are
used as defined in Schedule I to the Receivables Sale Agreement dated as
of the date hereof (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Second Tier Agreement”) among Buyer, Originator, Windmill
Funding Corporation, the committed purchasers party thereto, and ABN AMRO Bank
N.V. as the Agent, as such agreement may be amended or modified from time to
time; and (b) terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC and not otherwise
defined herein are used as defined in such Article 9.

In
addition, the following terms will have the meanings specified below:

“Available Funds” is defined
in Section 2.3(b) hereof.

“Closing Date” means the
date on which this Agreement and the Second Tier Agreement become effective in
accordance with their terms.

“Collection Agent Fee” is defined
in Section 3.6 of the Second Tier Agreement.

“Excluded Losses” is defined
in Section 7.1 hereof.

“Initial Funding Date” means the
date of the first purchase by Buyer from Originator under this Agreement as
approved by the Agent.

“Maximum Subordinated Note Balance” means an
amount equal to the excess of (i) the Eligible Receivables Balance over
(ii) the sum of (a) the outstanding amount of all Investment under
the Second Tier Agreement and (b) the Triple-B Loss Reserve Amount.

“Receivable” means each
obligation of an Obligor to pay for merchandise sold or services rendered by
the Originator and includes the Originator’s rights to payment of an interest
or finance charges and all proceeds of the foregoing.

“Settlement Date” means, with
respect to any Settlement Period, the twentieth day of the immediately
succeeding calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
preceding Business Day).

“Settlement Period” means a
calendar month (or, in the case of the first Settlement Period, the period from
the Initial Funding Date to the end of the calendar month in which the Initial
Funding Date occurs).

 

 

“Triple-B Loss Reserve Amount” as of any
date means an amount equal to the product of (i) the Eligible Receivables
Balance and (ii) the Loss Reserve as of the immediately preceding
Settlement Date (except that such Loss Reserve shall be calculated with a
multiple of 1.5 rather than 2.25).

Section 1.2.           Other
Interpretive Matters. 
In this Agreement, unless otherwise specified:  (a) references to any Section or Annex
refer to such Section of, or Annex to, this Agreement, and references in any
Section or definition to any subsection or clause refer to such subsection or
clause of such Section or definition; (b) ”herein”, “hereof”,
“hereto”, “hereunder” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (c) ”including” means including without limitation, and other
forms of the verb “to include” have correlative
meanings; (d) the word “or” is not
exclusive; and (e) captions are solely for convenience of reference and
shall not affect the meaning of this Agreement.

Section 2.           Agreement to Contribute, Purchase and
Sell.

Section 2.1.           Contributions
and Sales.  Eight million
dollars ($8,000,000) of the Receivables existing at the opening of Originator’s
business on the Initial Funding Date are hereby contributed by Originator as
capital to Buyer as of the Initial Funding Date.  All of the remaining Receivables existing at
the opening of Originator’s business on the Initial Funding Date are hereby
sold to Buyer as of the Initial Funding Date. 
After the Initial Funding Date, each Receivable shall be deemed to have
been contributed or sold to Buyer immediately (and without further action by
any Person) upon the creation of such Receivable in accordance with the terms
hereof.  The proceeds with respect to
each Receivable (including all Collections with respect thereto) shall be
transferred at the same time as such Receivable, whether such proceeds (or
Collections) exist at such time or arise or are acquired thereafter.

Section 2.2.           Purchase
Price.  (a) The aggregate
purchase price for the Receivables sold on any date shall be such amount as
agreed upon prior to such date between Originator and Buyer to be the fair
market value of such Receivables on such date, which shall equal the excess of
the (i) estimated aggregate outstanding balance of such Receivables over
(ii) an amount agreed upon by Buyer and Originator representing the
uncertainty of payment and cost of purchase of such Receivables.

(b)           On the Initial Funding Date, Buyer
shall pay Originator in cash the purchase price for the Receivables sold on
that date.  On each Business Day after
the Initial Funding Date on which Originator sells any Receivables to Buyer
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1, until the termination of the
purchase and sale of Receivables under Section 6 hereof, Buyer shall pay
to Originator a portion of the purchase price of such Receivables by depositing
into such account as Originator shall specify immediately available funds from
monies then held by or on behalf of Buyer solely to the extent that such monies
do not constitute Collections that are required to be identified or are deemed
to be held by the Collection Agent pursuant to the Second Tier Agreement for
the benefit of, or required to be distributed to, the Agent or the Purchasers
pursuant to the Second Tier Agreement or required to be paid to the Collection
Agent as the Collection Agent Fee, or otherwise necessary to pay current
expenses of Buyer (in its reasonable discretion) (such available monies, the “Available Funds”) and provided that Originator has paid 

 2
 

 

 

all amounts then due by Originator
hereunder.  On each Settlement Date, the
Collection Agent shall calculate the amount of the purchase price remaining to
be paid by deducting from the purchase price the Available Funds that have been
paid during the corresponding Settlement Period, and such amount due shall be
identified in the Periodic Report for such Settlement Period.

To
the extent that the Available Funds were insufficient to pay the purchase price
then due in full (an “Available Funds Shortfall”),
the remaining portion of such purchase price shall be paid by increasing the
principal amount of the Subordinated Note, effective as of the last day of the
related Settlement Period in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such
Available Funds Shortfall and (B) an amount that would not cause the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note to exceed the
Maximum Subordinated Note Balance.

To
the extent that Collections received during any Settlement Period exceed the
sum of (i) the Purchase Price payable for Receivables generated during
such Settlement Period, plus (ii) amounts for which such Collections are
required to be applied for such Settlement Period pursuant to the Second Tier
Agreement, such excess shall be treated as a reduction in the principal amount
of the Subordinated Note, effective as of the last day of the related
Settlement Period, and, if the principal amount of the Subordinated Note is
zero, such excess shall be refunded to the Buyer.

Originator
shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to the
Subordinated Note to reflect payments by the Buyer thereon and Originator’s
books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the
principal amount of and accrued interest on the Subordinated Note.  Originator shall return the Subordinated Note
to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to its terms.

Section 2.3.           Election
to Contribution. 
In lieu of selling Receivables on any day the Originator may, by written
notice to the Buyer, elect to treat Receivables transferred by it on such day
as a capital contribution to the Buyer. 
In addition, the Originator hereby elects on any day on which the Buyer
cannot pay the purchase price payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) with cash
and by an increase in the principal amount of the Subordinated Note, to treat
such Receivables as a capital contribution to the Buyer.  The Originator may rescind the election
described in the preceding sentence at any time by written notice to the Buyer
and the Agent and shall not be obligated to make capital contributions.  If the Originator rescinds its election
pursuant to the second sentence of this Section, the Originator shall also be
deemed to have elected to terminate its transfers of Receivables hereunder.

Section 2.4.           No
Recourse or Assumption of Obligations.  Except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, the contribution, purchase and sale of Receivables under this
Agreement shall be without recourse to Originator.  Originator and Buyer intend the transactions
hereunder to constitute true sales of Receivables by Originator to Buyer,
providing Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the
Receivables (such that the Receivables would not be property of Originator’s
estate in the event of Originator’s bankruptcy).  If, however, despite the intention of the
parties, the conveyances provided for in this Agreement are determined not to
be “true sales” of Receivables from
Originator to Buyer, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a 

 3
 

 

 

“security agreement” within the
meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and Originator hereby grants to Buyer a “security interest” within the meaning of Article 9 of
the UCC in all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to such
Receivables (including the proceeds thereof), now existing and thereafter
created, to secure a loan in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase prices
therefor and each of Originator’s other payment obligations under this
Agreement.

Buyer
shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivable, nor
shall Buyer have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer
or client of Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the
obligations of Originator under any Receivable).

Section 3.           Administration and Collection.

Section 3.1.           Originator
to Act as Collection Agent. 
Notwithstanding the sale of Receivables pursuant to this Agreement,
Originator shall continue to be responsible for the servicing, administration
and collection of the Receivables, all on the terms set out in (and subject to
any rights to terminate Originator as Collection Agent pursuant to) the Second
Tier Agreement.

Section 3.2.           Deemed
Collections. 
If on any day the outstanding balance of a Receivable is reduced or
cancelled as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash
discount or adjustment (including as a result of the application of any special
refund or other discounts or any reconciliation), any setoff or credit (whether
such claim or credit arises out of the same, a related, or an unrelated
transaction) or other similar reason not arising from the financial inability
of the Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness, (i) Originator shall be
deemed to have received on such day a Collection on such Receivable in the
amount of such reduction or cancellation and (ii) such Receivable shall
thereupon be, or be deemed to be reconveyed to Originator.  If on any day any representation, warranty,
covenant or other agreement of Originator related to a Receivable is not true
or is not satisfied, (i) Originator shall be deemed to have received on
such day a Collection in the amount of the outstanding balance of such
Receivable and (ii) such Receivable shall thereupon be, or be deemed to be
reconveyed to Originator.  Not later than
the first Settlement Date after Originator is deemed pursuant to this
Section 3.2 to have received any Collections, Originator shall transfer to
Buyer, in immediately available funds, the amount of such deemed Collections; provided, however, that if no such application is required
under the Second Tier Agreement, Buyer and Originator may agree to reduce the
outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note in lieu of all or part of
such transfer.  To the extent that Buyer
subsequently collects any payment with respect to any such “receivable”,
Buyer shall pay Originator an amount equal to the amount so collected, such
amount to be payable not later than the first Settlement Date after Buyer has
so collected such amount.

Section 3.3.           Application
of Collections. 
Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to
Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor (including by
reference to a particular invoice), or required by the related contracts or
law, be applied, first, as a Collection of any
Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the
age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest of such Receivables, and, second, to any other indebtedness of such Obligor to
Originator.

 4
 

 

 

Section 3.4.           Responsibilities
of Originator. 
Originator shall pay when due all Taxes payable in connection with the
Receivables or their creation or satisfaction. 
Originator shall perform all of its obligations under agreements related
to the Receivables to the same extent as if interests in the Receivables had
not been transferred hereunder.  The
Agent’s or any Purchaser’s exercise of any rights hereunder or under the Second
Tier Agreement shall not relieve Originator from such obligations.  Neither the Agent nor any Purchaser shall
have any obligation to perform any obligation of Originator or any other
obligation (other than the obligation to act in good faith and with commercial
reasonableness) or liability in connection with the Receivables.

Section 4.           Representations and Warranties.

Section 4.1.           Mutual
Representations and Warranties. 
Each of Originator and Buyer represents and warrants to the other as
follows:

(a) Existence and Power. 
It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its state of organization and has all company power and authority and
all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to
carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is now
conducted, except where failure to obtain such license, authorization, consent
or approval would not have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to
perform its obligations under, or the enforceability of, any Transaction
Document to which it is a party, (ii) its business or financial condition,
(iii) the interests of Buyer or its assigns under the Transaction Documents or
(iv) the enforceability or collectibility of a material portion of the Receivables.

(b) Authorization and No Contravention.  Its execution, delivery and performance of
each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) are within its powers,
(ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary company action, (iii) do
not contravene or constitute a default under: 
(A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its charter or by-laws
or (C) any material agreement, order or other instrument to which it is a party
or its property is subject and (iv) will not result in any Adverse Claim
on any Receivable, Related Security or Collection or give cause for the
acceleration of any of its indebtedness.

(c) No Consent Required. 
Other than the filing of financing statements no approval, authorization
or other action by, or filings with, any Governmental Authority or other Person
is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by it of
any Transaction Document to which it is a party or any transaction contemplated
thereby.

(d) Binding Effect.  Each
Transaction Document to which it is a party constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Person enforceable against that Person in accordance
with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar
laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

 5
 

 

 

Section 4.2.           Additional
Representations by Originator. 
Originator further represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

(a) Perfection of Ownership Interest.  Immediately preceding its sale of Receivables
to Buyer, Originator was the owner of, and effectively sold, such Receivables
to Buyer, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. 
Buyer owns the Receivables free of any Adverse Claim other than the
interests of the Purchasers (through the Agent) therein that are created by the
Second Tier Agreement, and Buyer shall at all times have a valid and continuing
ownership interest, which shall be a first priority perfected security interest
for purposes of Article 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code enforceable
as such against creditors of and purchasers from Originator, in the Receivables
and Collections.  Other than the
ownership interest granted to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Originator has
not pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in, or otherwise
conveyed, the Receivables or the Collections. 
Originator has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any
financing statements against Originator that include a description of collateral
covering the Receivables or the Collections other than any financing statement
relating to the security interest granted to Buyer hereunder. Originator has
caused or will have caused, within ten days after the date hereof, the filing
of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
appropriate jurisdictions under the applicable law in order to perfect the
conveyance of Receivables by Originator hereunder.

(b) Accuracy of Information. 
All information furnished by Originator in writing in connection with
any Transaction Document, or any transaction contemplated thereby, is true and
accurate in all material respects (and was not incomplete by omitting to state
a material fact necessary to make such information not materially misleading).

(c) No Actions, Suits.  There are no actions, suits or other
proceedings (including matters relating to environmental liability) pending or
threatened against or affecting Originator or any of its properties, that
(i) if adversely determined (individually or in the aggregate), may have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Originator or on the
collectibility of a material portion of the Receivables or (ii) involve
any Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated thereby.  Originator is not in default of any
contractual obligation or in violation of any order, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority, which default or violation may have a material adverse
effect upon (i) the financial condition of the Originator or (ii) the
collectibility of a material portion of the Receivables.

(d) No Material Adverse Change. 
Since March 31, 2006, there has been no material adverse
change in (i) the Originator’s financial condition, business, operations
or prospects or (ii) Originator’s ability to perform its obligations under
any Transaction Document.

(e) Accuracy of Exhibits.  All information on Exhibits D and E of the
Second Tier Agreement (to the extent describing Originator) is true and
complete, subject to any 

 6
 

 

 

changes
permitted by, and notified to the Agent in accordance with the Second Tier
Agreement.

(f) Sales by Originator.  Each sale by Originator to Buyer of an
interest in Receivables has been made for “reasonably equivalent
value” (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code)
and not for or on account of “antecedent debt”
(as such term is used in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code) owed by Originator
to Buyer.

thereof) to enable the Buyer to exercise and enforce all its rights against the
Receivables and to vest and maintain vested in the Buyer a valid, first
priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables, the Collections, and

Buyer.  The Originator will cause each
Lock-Box Bank to comply with the terms of each applicable Lock-Box Letter.  After the occurrence of a Termination Event
or the Liquidity Termination Date, the Originator will not, and will not permit
any Collection Agent or other Person to, commingle Collections or other funds
to which the Buyer is entitled with any other funds.  The Originator shall only add a Lock-Box
Bank, Lock-Box, or Lock-Box Account to those listed on Exhibit F of the
Second Tier Agreement if the Buyer has received notice of such addition, a copy
of any new Lock-Box Agreement and an executed and acknowledged copy of a
Lock-Box Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit G of the Second Tier
Agreement (with such changes as are acceptable to the Buyer) from any new 

 9
 

 

Lock-Box
Bank.  The Originator shall only
terminate a Lock-Box Bank or Lock-Box, or close a Lock-Box Account, upon 30
days advance notice to the Buyer.

(i) Sales and Adverse Claims
Relating to Receivables.  Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Originator will not (by operation of law or
otherwise) dispose of or otherwise transfer, or create or suffer to exist any
Adverse Claim upon, any Receivable or any proceeds thereof.

(j) Extension or Amendment of
Receivables.  Except as

amend, rescind or cancel any Receivable.

(k) Performance of Duties.  Originator will perform its duties or
obligations in accordance with the provisions of each of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party.

all material respects all agreements, if any, required to be observed by it in
connection with each Receivable, (ii) comply in all material respects with
the Credit and Collection Policy, and (iii) refrain from any action that
may impair the rights of Buyer in the Receivables, Collections or Lock-Box Accounts.

Section 6.           Termination of Purchases.

Section 6.1. Voluntary Termination.  The purchase and sale of Receivables
pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated by either party, upon at least
five Business Days’ prior written notice to the other party.

Section 6.2. Automatic Termination.  The purchase and sale of
Receivables pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the
occurrence of (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to Originator, (ii) the
Liquidity Termination Date, or (iii) a rescission by the Originator of its
election to make capital contributions pursuant to Section 2.3.

Section 7.           Indemnification.

Section 7.1. Originator’s Indemnity.  Without limiting any other rights any
Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, Originator hereby
indemnifies and holds harmless Buyer and its officers, managers, agents and
employees (each an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties,
Taxes, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs
actually incurred) (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Indemnified
Losses”) at any time imposed on or incurred by any Indemnified Party
arising out of or otherwise relating to any Transaction Document, the
transactions contemplated thereby, or any action taken or omitted by any of the
Indemnified Parties, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by
Originator hereunder or otherwise, excluding only Indemnified Losses (“Excluded Losses”) to the extent (a) a final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction holds such Indemnified Losses resulted
solely from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party
seeking indemnification, (b) solely due to the credit risk or financial
inability 

 10
 

 

 

to pay of the Obligor and for which
reimbursement would constitute recourse to Originator or the Collection Agent
for uncollectible Receivables or (c) such Indemnified Losses include Taxes
on, or measured by, the overall net income of the Buyer.  Without limiting the foregoing
indemnification, but subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (a),
(b) and (c) of the previous sentence, Originator shall indemnify each
Indemnified Party for Indemnified Losses relating to or resulting from:

(i) any representation or warranty made by or on
behalf of Originator under or in connection with this Agreement, any Periodic
Report or any other information or report delivered by Originator pursuant to
the Transaction Documents, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material
respect when made or deemed made;

(ii) the failure by Originator to comply with any
applicable law, rule or regulation related to any Receivable, or the
nonconformity of any Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or
regulation;

(iii) the failure of Originator to vest and maintain
vested in Buyer, a perfected ownership or security interest in the Receivables
and the other property conveyed pursuant hereto, free and clear of any Adverse
Claim;

(iv) any commingling of funds to which Buyer is entitled
hereunder with any other funds;

(v) any failure of a Lock-Box Bank to comply with
the terms of the applicable Lock-Box Letter;

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other
than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor or financial inability of the
Obligor to pay) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable, or any other
claim resulting from the sale or lease of goods or the rendering of services
related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such
goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the
financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;

(vii) any failure of Originator to perform its duties
or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which Originator is a party; or

(viii) any environmental liability claim, products
liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or
related claim or action of whatever sort, arising out of or in connection with
any Receivable or any other suit, claim or action of whatever sort relating to
any of Originator’s obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Section 7.2. Indemnification Due to Failure to Consummate
Purchase.  Originator will
indemnify Buyer on demand and hold it harmless against all costs (including,
without limitation, breakage costs) and expenses incurred by Buyer resulting
from any failure by Originator to 

 11
 

 

 

consummate
a purchase after Buyer has requested a transfer of the applicable Receivables
to the Purchasers under the terms of the Second Tier Agreement.

Section 7.3. Other Costs. 
If Buyer becomes obligated to compensate the Purchasers
under the Second Tier Agreement or any other Transaction Document for any costs
or indemnities pursuant to any provision of the Second Tier Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, then Originator shall, on demand, reimburse Buyer
for the amount of any compensation.

Section 8.           Miscellaneous.

Section 8.1. Amendments, Waivers, etc.  No amendment of this Agreement or waiver
of any provision hereof or consent to any departure by either party therefrom
shall be effective without the written consent of the party that is sought to
be bound. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance given. No failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. Originator agrees that the Purchasers may rely upon
the terms of this Agreement, and that the terms of this Agreement may not be
amended, nor any material waiver of those terms be granted, without the consent
of the Agent; provided that Originator and
Buyer may agree to an adjustment of the purchase price for any Receivable
without the consent of the Agent provided that the purchase price paid for any
Receivable shall be an amount not less than adequate consideration that
represents fair value for such Receivable.

Section 8.2. Assignment of Agreement.  Originator hereby acknowledges that on the
date hereof Buyer has collaterally assigned for security purposes all of its
right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers pursuant to the Second Tier Agreement and that the
Agent and the Purchasers are third party beneficiaries hereof. Originator
hereby further acknowledges that after the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Termination Event all provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers, including the enforcement
of any provision hereof to the extent set forth in the Second Tier Agreement,
but that neither the Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligations or
duties under this Agreement. No purchases shall take place hereunder at any
time that the Agent has exercised its right to enforce Buyer’s rights hereunder
pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Second Tier Agreement.  Originator hereby further acknowledges that
the execution and performance of this Agreement are conditions precedent for
the Agent and the Purchasers to enter into the Second Tier Agreement and that
the agreement of the Agent and Purchasers to enter into the Second Tier
Agreements will directly or indirectly benefit Originator and constitutes good
and valuable consideration for the rights and remedies of the Agent and each
Purchaser with respect hereto.

Section 8.3.  Binding Effect; Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns and shall also, to the extent provided herein, inure to the benefit of
the parties to the Second Tier 

 12
 

 

 

Agreement.
Originator acknowledges that Buyer’s rights under this Agreement are being
assigned to the Agent under the Second Tier Agreement and consents to such
assignment and to the exercise of those rights directly by the Agent, to the
extent permitted by the Second Tier Agreement.

Section 8.4. Survival. 
The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any
representation and warranty made by Originator or Buyer pursuant to Section 4
and the indemnification provisions of Section 7 shall survive any termination
of this Agreement.

Section 8.5. Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  In addition to the obligations of
Originator under Section 7, each party
hereto agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred by the other
party and its assigns (other than Excluded Losses) in connection with the
enforcement of, or any actual or claimed breach of, this Agreement, including
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any of such Persons incurred in
connection with any of the foregoing or in advising such Persons as to their
respective rights and remedies under this Agreement in connection with any of
the foregoing. Originator also agrees to pay on demand all stamp and other
taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution, delivery, filing, and recording of this Agreement.

Section 8.6. Execution in Counterparts; Integration.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by the different parties in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 8.7. Governing Law; Submission
to Jurisdiction.  This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New York.  Originator hereby submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and of any New York state court sitting in New York, New York for
purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of, or relating to, the
Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.  Originator hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to
the venue of any such proceeding and any claim that any such proceeding has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
Nothing in this Section 8.7 shall affect the right of Buyer to
bring any action or proceeding against Originator or its property in the courts
of other jurisdictions.

Section 8.8. No Proceedings. 
Originator agrees, for the benefit of the parties to the
Second Tier Agreement, that it will not institute against Buyer, or join any
other Person in instituting against Buyer, any proceeding of a type referred to
in the definition of Bankruptcy Event until one year and one day after no
investment, loan or commitment is outstanding under the Second Tier Agreement.
In addition, all amounts payable by Buyer to Originator pursuant to this
Agreement shall be payable solely from funds available for that purpose (after
Buyer has satisfied all obligations then due and owing under the Second Tier
Agreement).

Section 8.9.  Loans by Buyer to Originator.  Buyer may make loans to Originator from
time to time if so agreed between such parties and to the extent that Buyer has
funds available for 

 13
 

 

that
purpose after satisfying its obligations under this Agreement and the Second
Tier Agreement. Any such loan shall be payable upon demand (and may be prepaid
with penalty or premium) and shall bear interest at such rate as Buyer and
Originator shall from time to time agree.

Section 8.10.     Notices. 
Unless otherwise specified, all notices and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing (including by telecopier or other facsimile
communication), given to the appropriate Person at its address or telecopy
number set forth in the Second Tier Agreement or at such other address or
telecopy number as such Person may specify, and effective when received at the
address specified by such Person.

Section 8.11.      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding of the parties thereto concerning the subject matter
thereof.  Any previous or contemporaneous
agreements, whether written or oral, concerning such matters are superseded
thereby.

thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.

Limited Guaranty

THIS LIMITED
GUARANTY is made as of July 31, 2006 (the “Guaranty”),
and is given by J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc., a corporation duly
organized pursuant to the laws of Arkansas, having its head office at 615 J.B.
Hunt Corporation Drive, Lowell, Arkansas, 72745 (the “Guarantor”)
in favor of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as
Agent (the “Beneficiary”) for the benefit of the
Committed Purchasers (as defined below) and Windmill (as defined below).

WHEREAS,

A.            JBH
Receivables LLC (“Seller”), J.B. Hunt Transport,
Inc. (“Collection Agent”), the Committed
Purchasers (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), Windmill Funding
Corporation (“Windmill”) and the Beneficiary have
entered into a Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Receivables Sale Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Receivables Sale
Agreement.

B.            Pursuant
to the Receivables Sale Agreement, the Collection Agent has undertaken certain
payment and performance obligations and, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Originator has undertaken certain payment and performance obligations to
the Seller (collectively, the “Obligations”),
and the Seller has assigned its rights with respect to such Obligations to the
Beneficiary pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement.

C.            Guarantor
has, subject to the terms of this document, agreed to guarantee the performance
by Collection Agent and Originator of the Obligations.

The Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1.             The
Guarantor guarantees to the Beneficiary that in the event of a failure by
Collection Agent or the Originator to perform any of their respective
Obligations, the Guarantor subject to the terms of this Guaranty and strictly
in accordance with the express terms of the Purchase Agreement or Receivables
Sale Agreement (as applicable) will promptly make, perform or procure the
performance, directly or indirectly through its affiliates or agents, of the
Obligations.  The liability of the
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective
of any lack of genuineness, validity, legality or enforceability of any Transaction
Document (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) or any other document,
agreement or instrument relating thereto or any assignment or transfer of any
thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the
aggregate amount of Obligations outstanding, the liability of the Guarantor
hereunder shall not exceed the liability of the Collection Agent or Originator
(as applicable) in respect of their respective Obligations. The Guarantor
hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could
have by reason thereof.  The Obligations
of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged, released or affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, involving without limitation any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Collection
Agent, the Originator or any other Person or any taking, exchange, release or
non-perfection of any collateral security for any of the Obligations, any
manner of application of such collateral security or any proceeds 

  
  
 

 

thereof or any sale or
other disposition of such collateral security or the exercise or failure to
exercise any remedies by the Beneficiary against the Collection Agent, or the
Originator or any taking, release, amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guarantee of any of the Obligations.  This Guaranty is in no way conditioned upon
any attempt to enforce performance or compliance by the Collection Agent, or
the Originator or any other event or circumstance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Guaranty is not a guarantee of the ultimate recovery of any of the Receivables
and the Guarantor shall not in any circumstances be responsible or liable for
any inability to collect any Receivable due to the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack
of creditworthiness or failure to pay of the related Obligor.  The Guarantor
acknowledges that one of the essential and determining conditions to the
Beneficiary and the Purchasers entering into the Transaction Documents is that
the Beneficiary benefits from this Guaranty in accordance with the terms
hereof. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is informed of the
financial situation of the Collection Agent and the Originator and the reasons
for the request made by the Collection Agent and the Originator to the
Guarantor to grant the undertakings set out herein.

2.             The
Guarantor authorizes the Beneficiary and each Purchaser (as defined in the
Receivables Sale Agreement), without notice or demand, from time to time to
renew, extend, accelerate, compromise, settle, restructure, refinance, refund
or otherwise change the amount and time for payment of the Obligations or any
part thereof, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any part
thereof in each case as permitted by the Transaction Documents.  Any allowance of time by the Beneficiary
under or in respect of the Receivables Sale Agreement or the Purchase Agreement
shall not release, reduce or affect the liability of the Guarantor.

3.             The
Guarantor shall not exercise any subrogation rights which it may have under
this Guaranty nor shall the Guarantor seek any reimbursement from the
Collection Agent, or the Originator unless and until all of the Obligations
have been paid in full.

4.             The
Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiary that:

(a)           Corporate Existence and
Power.  The Guarantor is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all corporate power and
authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is
now conducted, except where failure to obtain such license, authorization,
consent or approval would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of
the Guarantor to perform hereunder or on the financial condition, business,
operations or prospects of the Guarantor.

(b)           Corporate Authorization
and No Contravention.  The
execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty
(i) are within its corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action, (iii) do not contravene or constitute a
default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its
charter or by-laws or (C) any material agreement, order or other
instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject.

(c)           No Consent Required.  No approval, authorization or other action by,
or filings with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of
this Guaranty.

 2
 

 

(d)           Binding Effect.  The Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws of general application relating
to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity.

(e)           No Actions, Suits.  There are no actions, suits or other
proceedings (including matters relating to environmental liability) pending or,
to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened, against or affecting the
Guarantor or its properties, that (i) if adversely determined
(individually or in the aggregate), would have a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Guarantor to perform hereunder or on the financial condition,
business, operations or prospects of the Guarantor, or (ii) affect the
validity and enforceability of this Guaranty. 
The Guarantor is not in default of any contractual obligation or in
violation of any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, which
default or violation would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Guarantor to perform hereunder or on the financial condition, business,
operations or prospects of the Guarantor.

5.             Any
notice, payment, demand, or communication required or permitted to be given by
any provision of this Guaranty shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to
have been duly made or given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by carrier
service, by telecopy, by telegram, or by registered or certified mail (postage
paid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following

remedies provided by law.  The Guarantor

8.             The
Guarantor agrees that it will within two business days following demand
therefor pay to the Beneficiary the amount of any and all reasonable documented
out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Beneficiary may incur in
connection with the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the
Beneficiary hereunder as a result of the failure by the Guarantor to perform or
observe any of the provisions hereof.

9.             This
Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between the Guarantor and the
Beneficiary (and supersedes all prior written and oral agreements and
understandings) with respect to the subject matter hereof between the Guarantor
and the Beneficiary.

10.           If
any one or more provisions contained in this Guaranty shall, for any reason, be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this
Guaranty, but this Guaranty shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

11.           THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.  GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS
TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN
NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF, OR
RELATING TO, THIS GUARANTY.  Each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the venue of
any such proceeding and any claim that any such proceeding has been brought in
an inconvenient forum.  Nothing in this
paragraph shall affect the right of any party hereto to bring any action or
proceeding against another or its property in the courts of other
jurisdictions.

12.           EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY MATTER
ARISING THEREUNDER, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

13.           This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Beneficiary upon the
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or the like,
of the Collection Agent, the Originator or the Guarantor, or as a result of the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar
powers with respect to the Collection Agent, the Originator or the Guarantor or
any substantial part of any such Person’s respective property, or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made, notwithstanding any termination
of this Guaranty or the Purchase Agreement, or the replacement of the
Collection Agent.
