after such demand and (ii) at the Base Rate at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender
makes its required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding

Section 2.5 , all Agent Advances made by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, shall
be for Administrative Agent’s sole account and shall be senior in right of payment to all other
Loans (as set forth in Section 2.24 ).
(b) The Administrative Agent may give at any time and from time to time, and in no
event later than 30 days after the making of an Agent Advances the Administrative Agent shall give,
notice to the Lenders requesting the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the
unpaid principal amount of any Agent Advance on the next following
- 42 -
Business Day. Each Lender will make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent, which
will be used solely for the repayment of such Agent Advances.
(c) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole
discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, then each Lender shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such Agent
Advances in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that such Base Rate Borrowing
should have occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer,
in immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent. If any such Agent Advance bears interest at a
rate other than the Base Rate, such Agent Advance shall automatically become a Base Rate Loan on
the effective date of any such participation and interest shall become payable on demand.
(d) Each Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.5(b) or to purchase the participating interests pursuant to
Section 2.5(c ) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right that such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Swingline Lender,
the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an
Event of Default or an Out of Formula Condition or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving
Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of any event or condition which has had or
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (v) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent in respect of Agent
Advances by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand
thereof (i) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (ii) at
the Base Rate at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment,
the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Agent Advances in the
amount of the unpaid participation for all purposes of the Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender
shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans
and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Administrative Agent to fund the amount of such
Lender’s participation interest in such Agent Advances that such Lender failed to fund pursuant to
this Section 2.5 , until such amount has been purchased in full.
Section 2.6[Reserved].
Section 2.7Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by noon (Atlanta,
Georgia
time) to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office;
provided , that the Swingline
Loans will be made as set forth in
Section 2.4 . The Administrative Agent will make such
- 43 -
Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like
funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrowers
with the Administrative Agent or at the Borrowers’ option, by effecting a wire transfer of such
amounts to an account designated by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to
5:00 p.m. (Atlanta,
Georgia time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing in which
such Lender is to participate that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent,
in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover
such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds
Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such
Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers (to the
extent they received such amount) shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent
within 3 Business Days together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing (but without
any amounts being due under
Section 2.20 ). Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to
prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by
such Lender hereunder.
(c) All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their
respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in
its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made
by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.
Section 2.8Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice
of Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such
Borrowing into a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.8 . The
Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding Loans
comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be
converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Borrowers shall
give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
- 44 -
writing) of each Borrowing substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.8 attached hereto (a
“
Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) that is to be converted or continued, as the case may
be, (x) prior to noon (Atlanta,
Georgia time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of a
conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) three
(3) Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Borrowing. Each such
Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which
such Notice of Continuation/Conversion applies and if different options are being elected with
respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each
resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made
pursuant to such Notice of Continuation/Conversion, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and (iv) if the
resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after
giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest
Period”. If any such Notice of Continuation/Conversion requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of
one month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing
amount for Eurodollar Borrowings and Base Rate Borrowings set forth
in
Section 2.3 .
(c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar
Borrowing, the Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected
to convert such Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or
continued as, a Eurodollar Borrowing if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless
the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing. No
conversion of any Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period
in respect thereof.
(d) Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each
resulting Borrowing.
Section 2.9Optional Reduction and Termination of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments, Swingline Commitments
and LC Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be
irrevocable) at any time after April 30, 2006, the Borrowers may reduce the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments in part; provided , that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce
proportionately and permanently the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction
pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be in an amount of at least $20,000,000 and any larger
multiple of $1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would
- 45 -
reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount less than the outstanding
Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment
Amount below the sum of the principal amount of the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment
shall result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of
$100,000) in the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment.
(c) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be
irrevocable) the Borrowers may terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole.
Section 2.10Repayment of Loans.
(a) The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b) The principal amount of each Swingline Borrowing shall be due and payable
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
Section 2.11Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate
records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made
by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon
and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall
maintain appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving Commitment of each
Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the Class and Type thereof and
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to
Section 2.8 , (iv) the date of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type
pursuant to Section 2.8 , (v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder in respect of such
Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder
from the Borrowers in respect of the Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries
made in such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans (both principal
and unpaid accrued interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) At the request of any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) at any time, the
Borrowers agree that they will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note and, in
the case of the Swingline Lender only, a Swingline Note, payable to the order of such Lender.
Section 2.12Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without
- 46 -
premium or penalty, by giving irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of prepayment of
any Eurodollar Borrowing, noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) not less than three (3) Business Days prior
to any such prepayment, (ii) in the case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, not less
than one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, and (iii) in the case of Swingline
Borrowings, prior to noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together
with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with
Section 2.14(e ); provided , that if a Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other
than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, no such prepayment shall be in an
amount of less than $500,000 and the Borrowers shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to
Section 2.20 with respect thereto. Each partial prepayment of any Loan (other than a Swingline
Loan) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving
Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2 or in the case of a Swingline Loan
pursuant to Section 2.4 . Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the
Loans comprising such Borrowing.
Section 2.13Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) Immediately upon receipt by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of
proceeds of any sale or disposition by the Borrowers or such Subsidiary of any of its assets
(excluding (i) sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, including all sales and
transfers of Petroleum Products under the Marketing Agreement , (ii) sales of obsolete equipment,
(iii) sales of assets the proceeds of which are invested into the businesses of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries within 180 days after such assets are sold and (iv) so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, other sales of assets of the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries with an aggregate book value not to exceed $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year) the
Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of commissions and
other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such
transaction and payable by such Borrowers in connection therewith (in each case, paid to
non-Affiliates). Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (c) below.
(b) If the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries issues any debt or equity
securities (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.1 , equity securities issued
by a Subsidiary of a Borrower to another Borrower or another Subsidiary) then no later than the
Business Day following the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof, the Borrowers shall prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and
other reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be
applied in accordance with Section 2.13(c) .
(c) Any prepayments made by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) or
(b) above shall be applied as follows: first, to Administrative Agent’s fees and
reimbursable
- 47 -
expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all
other fees and reimbursable expenses of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank then due and payable
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank based on their
respective Pro Rata Shares of such fees and expenses; third , to interest then due and
payable on the Loans made to Borrowers, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective Revolving
Commitments; fourth , to the principal balance of the Swingline Loans, until the same
shall have been paid in full, to the Swingline Lender; fifth , to the principal balance of
the Revolving Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders based on
their respective Revolving Commitments; sixth , to cash collateralize the Letters of
Credit in accordance with Section 2.23(g) in an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure
as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon and seventh , to the Cash
Collateral Account. The Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall not be permanently reduced by
the amount of any prepayments made pursuant to clauses fourth and fifth above.
(d) If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the
Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, as reduced pursuant to Section 2.9 or otherwise,
the Borrowers shall immediately repay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans in an amount equal to
such excess, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts
due under Section 2.20 . Each prepayment shall be applied first to the Swingline Loans to
the full extent thereof, second to the Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof, and finally to
Eurodollar Loans to the full extent thereof. If after giving effect to prepayment of all Swingline
Loans and Revolving Loans, the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment Amount, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders, an amount in cash equal to such excess plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon to be held
as collateral for the LC Exposure. Such account shall be administered in accordance with
Section 2.23(g) hereof.
Section 2.14Interest on Loans.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate in
effect from time to time and on each Eurodollar Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable
Interest Period in effect for such Loan, plus , in each case, the Applicable Margin in effect from
time to time.
(b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan at the Swingline Rate in
effect from time to time.
(c) While an Event of Default exists or after acceleration, at the option of the
Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall pay interest (“Default
Interest”) with respect to
all Eurodollar Loans at the rate otherwise applicable for the then-current Interest Period plus
an additional 2% per annum until the last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter, and with
respect to all Base Rate Loans (including all Swingline Loans) and all other Obligations hereunder
(other than Loans), at the rate in effect for Base Rate Loans, plus an additional 2% per annum.
- 48 -
(d) Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and
including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest
on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each
calendar month and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, as the case may be. Interest on
all outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable thereto, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period in excess of
three months or 90 days, respectively, on each day which occurs every three months or 90 days, as
the case may be, after the initial date of such Interest Period, and on the Revolving Commitment
Termination Date. Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable on the maturity date of such
Loan, which shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and on the Revolving
Commitment Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type or
which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any
such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall
be payable on demand.
(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the
Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or
by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(f) The Base Rate on the date hereof is 8.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of
interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.50% per
annum with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan. The
Swingline Rate on the date hereof is 8.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect
hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.50% per annum with respect
to Swingline Loans.
Section 2.15Fees.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in
the amounts and at the times agreed upon in the Fee Letter.
(b) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Percentage per annum (determined
daily in accordance with Schedule I ) on the daily amount of the unused Revolving
Commitment of such Lender during the Availability Period. For purposes of computing commitment fees
with respect to the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed
used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure, but not Swingline Exposure,
of such Lender.
(c) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
each Lender, a letter of credit fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit,
which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in
effect on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of
Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but
excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is drawn in full (including without
limitation any LC Exposure that remains outstanding after the Revolving
- 49 -
Commitment Termination Date) and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee,
which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the
Availability Period (or until the date that such Letter of Credit is irrevocably cancelled,
whichever is later), as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders elect to increase the interest rate on the
Loans to the Default Interest pursuant to Section 2.14(c) , the rate per annum used to
calculate the letter of credit fee pursuant to clause (i) above shall automatically be increased by
an additional 2% per annum.
(d) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
each Lender, the upfront fee previously agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent,
which shall be due and payable on the Closing Date.
(e) Accrued fees under paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 31,
2006 and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (and if later, the date the Loans and LC
Exposure shall be repaid in their entirety); provided further , that any such fees
accruing after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand.
(f) The Borrowers shall pay audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as
follows (each of which shall be for the sole benefit of the applicable Agent relating thereto):
(i) a fee of $850 per day, per auditor, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each financial
audit of Borrowers performed by personnel employed by the Administrative Agent, (ii) if
implemented, a fee of $850 per day, per applicable individual, plus out-of-pocket expenses for the
establishment of electronic collateral reporting systems, (iii) a fee of $850 per day per
appraiser, plus out-of-pocket expenses, for each appraisal or field audit of the Collateral, or any
portion thereof, performed by personnel employed by the Collateral Agent, and (iv) the actual
reasonable charges paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable
(for the sole benefit of such Agents) if it elects to employ the services of one or more third
Persons to perform financial audits of Borrowers or a Subsidiary, to establish electronic
collateral reporting systems, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess a
Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ business valuation; provided , however , that so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall only be obligated to
pay for fees and expenses incurred for financial and/or field audits conducted no more frequently
than three (3) times per calendar year in the aggregate (it being understood that simultaneously
conducted financial and field audits shall be considered as a single audit for purposes of the
foregoing limitation).
Section 2.16Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the
basis of days elapsed). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest amount or
- 50 -
fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Section 2.17Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing,
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that
the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender,
as the case may be) of making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as the case may be) Eurodollar
Loans for such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in
writing) to the Borrowers and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. In the case of
Eurodollar Loans, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that
the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to
make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar
Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans
on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrowers prepay
such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent
at least one Business Day before the date of any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for which a Notice
of Revolving Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, then
such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.
Section 2.18Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so
notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Borrowers and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation
of such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as
or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same
Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then
outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the
then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that
it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date (provided that no amount
shall be due under Section 2.20 in connection therewith). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice
and if such designation would not
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its
discretion.
- 51 -
Section 2.19Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such
reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or on the Issuing Bank or the Eurodollar interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter
of Credit or any participation therein;
and the result of either of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender
or the Issuing Bank of participating in or issuing any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount
received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount), then the Borrowers shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by
such Lender on the Borrowers (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent),
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within 20 calendar days after the date
of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that on or after the
date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital (or on the
capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which
such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation with
respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within twenty (20) calendar days after
receipt by the Borrowers of written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent
corporation for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 2.19 shall be delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay any such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such amount or amounts within twenty (20) calendar days
after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided Borrowers shall have no
obligation to pay any such amounts with respect to any period which was more than 120 days prior to
the date of such notice.
Section 2.20Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by
the Borrowers to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in
any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any
such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written
demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such
Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of
the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over
(B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for
the same period if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or
converted or the date on which the Borrowers failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar
Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.20 submitted
to the Borrowers by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error.
Section 2.21Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes; provided , that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.21 ) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the
case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
- 53 -
(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the
Issuing Bank, within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.21 ) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers
by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 2.21(c) , the Borrowers shall not be obligated to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank for any portion of such
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses to the extent such liability is attributable to a
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in
making demand for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by
the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to
payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation
shall have been purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i) Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received from the
Borrowers hereunder are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or
business in the United States; or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form
thereto, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of
interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payment to the
Foreign Lender qualifies as “portfolio interest” exempt from U.S. withholding tax under Code
section 871(h) or 881(c), and (B) stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of
Code section 881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder is not, with
respect to such Foreign Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade
or business, within the meaning of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of
any Borrower within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and (3) the Foreign
Lender is
- 54 -
not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to a Borrower within the meaning of Code
section 881(c)(3)(C); or (iv) such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be applicable to the
Foreign Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP. Each such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such forms on or before the date that it becomes a party to
this Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases
the related participation). In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly
upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each
such Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at any time
that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered
certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the Internal Revenue
Service for such purpose).
(f) Upon the Borrowers’ reasonable request, each Lender that is a “United States
person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or
applicable successor form) to establish that such Lender is entitled to receive all payments from
the Borrowers hereunder free and clear from withholding of United States federal income Tax.
(g) If the Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or required to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank
pursuant to
Section 2.21(c) and if the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank may be entitled
to a refund which is attributable to the imposition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
to the payment of additional amounts or an indemnification payment, then the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use its best effort to obtain the refund by filing any forms,
certificates, documents, applications or returns in a timely fashion. In the event that the
Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank receives a refund in respect of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes as to which it has been paid additional amounts by the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 2.21(a) or been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.21(c) , then the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the
amount of such refund.
Section 2.22Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Set-offs.
(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable
under Sections 2.19 , 2.20 or 2.21 , or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon
(Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any
defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed
to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except
payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein
and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.19 , 2.20 and 2.21 and
10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall
- 55 -
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on
a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made
payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest
and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and
fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts
of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such
parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans
or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans that would result in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received
by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans; provided , that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or
any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to
the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do
so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount
of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount or amounts due. In such event,
- 56 -
if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant
to Section 2.4(d), 2.7(b), 2.22(d),2.23(d ) or (e ) or
10.3(d ), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.23Letters of Credit.
(a) During the Availability Period, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.23(d ), agrees to issue, at the
request of the Borrowers, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth; provided , that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire
on the earlier of (A) the stated expiry date of such Letter of Credit (or in the case of any
renewal or extension thereof, the expiry date of any such renewal or extension) and (B) the date
that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) each Letter
of Credit shall be in a stated amount of at least $1,000,000; and (iii) the Borrowers may not
request any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance (A) the aggregate LC
Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or (B) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all
Lenders would exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount or the Borrowing Base.
Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in
such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize
the Revolving Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.
(b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers shall give the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested date of such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of
Credit is to be issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be), the expiration date
of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in
Article III , the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the
amount of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of
Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Issuing Bank shall approve and that the
Borrowers shall have executed and delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments
- 57 -
relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require;
provided, that in the event of any conflict between such applications, agreements or
instruments and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) At least two Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received such notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the
Administrative Agent on or before 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date the
Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit (1) directing the Issuing Bank not to issue
the Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because of the
limitations set forth in Section 2.23(a ) or that one or more conditions specified in
Article III are not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the
Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.
(d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand
for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the
Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided , that any
failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation
to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrowers
shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC
Disbursements paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or
other formalities of any kind. Unless the Borrowers shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day immediately
prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrowers intend to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than from the proceeds of Revolving
Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Borrowing on the date on which such
drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided , that for
purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2
hereof shall not be applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Borrowing
in accordance with Section 2.3 , and each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Base Rate
Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.7 . The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be
applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement
.
(e) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole
discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, then each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the
participation that such Lender purchased pursuant to subsection (a) in an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of such LC Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should have
occurred. Each Lender’s obligation to fund its participation shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or
- 58 -
any other Person may have against the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries , (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrowers
or any other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or (vi) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
On the date that such participation is required to be funded, each Lender shall promptly transfer,
in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has received from any
such Lender the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the Issuing Bank (or the
Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of
such payment; provided , that if such payment is required to be returned for any reason to
the Borrowers or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official in any
bankruptcy proceeding, such Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank any
portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to it.
(f) To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid
pursuant to paragraph (d) above on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the
Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such
payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate; provided , that if
such Lender shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within three (3) Business Days of
such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest
on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 2.14(d) .
(g) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that
the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account
with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided , that the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with
respect to the Borrowers described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1 . Such deposit
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Borrowers
agree to execute any documents and/or certificates to effectuate the intent of this paragraph.
Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made
at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and
expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments
shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it had not been reimbursed and
to the extent so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, with the consent of
- 59 -
the Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the
extent not so applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days
after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(h) Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, the Issuing Bank shall
deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrowers a report describing the
aggregate Letters of Credit outstanding at the end of such Fiscal Quarter. Upon the request of any
Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information
reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.
(i) The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following
circumstances:
(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;
(ii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrowers or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary or any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or
transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or
any unrelated transaction;
(iii) Any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in
any respect;
(iv) Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or other document to the Issuing Bank that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(v) Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23 , constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder;
or
(vi) The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.
Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related Party of any of the
foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
- 60 -
under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes
beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided , that the foregoing shall not be
construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any actual
direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect (including claims for lost profits or other
consequential damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by
the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise due care when determining whether drafts or other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly
agree, that in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing
Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed
to have exercised due care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that
appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in
strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(j) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for
Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the
same may be amended from time to time, or to ISP 98 (International Standby Practices), as the same
may be amended from time to time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law
of this Agreement set forth in Section 10.5 .
Section 2.24Application of Payments.
(a) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24(b) below, all payments and any
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrowers shall
be applied as follows: first , to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the
Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on
behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such
Lender or the Borrowers, second , to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third ,
as the Borrowers so designate. Payments in respect of Swingline Loans received by the
Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swingline Lender; payments in respect of Revolving
Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with
its Pro Rata Share; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other
Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuing Bank as are entitled thereto
and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of
any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding
Section 2.24(a) above, the Administrative Agent may and, upon either (A) the written direction of
the Required Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations, shall apply
- 61 -
all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral
Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:
(i) first, to pay interest on and the principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which
the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the
Borrowers;
(ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities
(except with respect to Banking Relationship Debt) then due to the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent;
(iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities
(except with respect to Banking Relationship Debt) then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank;
(iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees (except with respect to Banking
Relationship Debt) then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Bank;
(v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and LC Exposure and
fees due to any Lender;
(vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and LC Exposure, to provide cash
collateral for the LC Exposure in the manner described in Section 2.23(g) ( provided,
however, that upon the expiration or termination of a Letter of Credit that has been cash
collateralized such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 2.24(b) ), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans and LC Exposure;
(vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of Obligations owing with respect to Banking
Relationship Debt; and
(viii) eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in
respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii) , (iii) , (iv) , (v) ,
(vi), (vii) and (viii) above the available funds being applied with respect to any such
Obligations (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such
Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Agents’ and each Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided , however ,
that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders shall be allocated first to repay
Agent Advances and Swingline Loans pro rata and then to the Lenders.
Section 2.25Mitigation of Obligations.
If any Lender requests compensation underSection 2.19, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21 ,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
- 62 -
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.19
or Section 2.21 , as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with such designation or assignment.
Section 2.26
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.19, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority of the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21 , or
if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent delivered within
30 days after the request for compensation or payment or the default by such Lender, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 10.4(b) all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender);
provided, that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) within 60 days after
receipt of such notice, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii)
in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.19 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.21 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.27
Agent Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Delek Refining,
and Delek Refining agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself
and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower Agent”),
including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest
as a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, and receiving account statements and other
notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from an Agent. The Agents may rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for a Borrowing, Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base
Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, whether in its
own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “Borrowers,” and no Agent shall have any
obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower
as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such request for a Borrowing, Notice of Conversion
Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or other notice or
communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the
Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 2.27 shall not be
construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other
actions
- 63 -
permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. The Administrative Agent may maintain a
single Loan Account in the name of “Delek Refining” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees
to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and
several character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.
Section 2.28
Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
(a) Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the
timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of
which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of credit
hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Administrative Agent or any
Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being
acknowledged and agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and
that the Agents and the Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in
extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. 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 owed on, any of the Loans
or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.
(b) Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of,
the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be
unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any
of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the
Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Loan
Party or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce
the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by an
Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the
payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other
Borrower and delivered to an Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent to take any steps to
perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve
its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the
Obligations or an Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) an
Agent’s or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security
interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code,
(vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Loan Party for the
payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Loan
Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the amount of the
Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other
charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all
or any portion of an Agent’s or any Lender’s claims against any other Loan Party for the repayment
of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance
that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower. After the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may proceed
directly and at once, without notice to any Loan Party, against any or all of the Loan
- 64 -
Parties to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding
against any other Loan Party or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or
performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under applicable law
that might otherwise require an Agent to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or a
Loan Party before pursuing another Loan Party . Each Borrower consents and agrees that no Agent
shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against or in
payment of any or all of the Obligations.
(c) No payment or payments made by a Loan Party or received or collected by an Agent from a
Borrower or any other 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 any Borrower under
this Agreement, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and
performance of all Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and this
Agreement is terminated.
(d) Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several
obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a
Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are applied
to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used by such Borrower in
its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation Payment”), then each of the
other Borrowers (each such Borrower being referred to as a “Contributing Borrower”) shall be
obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A)
the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the
Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less (B) the
amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such
last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any
amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be
decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution
hereunder); provided , however , that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of
contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying
Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of
all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of
determination thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of
Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be 1;
provided , however , that such percentages shall be modified in the event that
contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by
reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage
of the other Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all
times equals 100%.
(e) Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation,
contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Loan Party , and any
successor or assign of any other Loan Party , including any trustee, receiver or
debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter
existing, to the full and indefeasible payment of all of the Obligations.

Borrowers will
execute all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, and amendments and continuation

assignments or documents and shall take such other action as may be required to perfect or continue
the perfection of the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks) security interest in the Collateral. The Borrowers hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to execute and file any such financing statement on the Borrowers’ behalf to
the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 5.3Location of Collateral; Consignment of Inventory. All
Collateral, other
than Inventory in transit and Inventory sold in the Ordinary Course of Business, will at all times
be kept by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries at one or more of the business locations of
Borrowers or their Subsidiaries set forth in Schedule 5.3 . The Inventory shall not,
without the prior written approval of the Agents, be moved therefrom except as permitted in the
immediately preceding sentence and so long as no Event of Default exists, (i) sales or other
dispositions of assets permitted pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and (ii) the storage of
Inventory at locations within the continental United States other than those specified in the first

prior location of such Inventory.
Section 5.4Protection of Collateral. All insurance expenses and expenses of
protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral
(including, without limitation, all rent payable by Borrowers to any landlord of any premises where
any of the Collateral may be located), and any and all excise, property, sales, and use taxes
imposed by any state, federal, or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the
sale thereof, shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. If Borrowers fail to promptly pay any portion
thereof when due, the Lenders may, at their option, after notice to the Borrowers, but shall not be
required to, make a Base Rate Revolving Loan for such purpose and pay the same directly to the
appropriate Person; provided that Borrowers shall not be deemed to have made any representations
under Section 3.2(a) in connection therewith. Borrowers agree to reimburse the Lenders
promptly therefor with interest accruing thereon daily at the Default Interest rate provided in
this Agreement. All sums so paid or incurred by the Lenders for any of the foregoing and all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable legal expenses, and
court costs) which the Lenders may incur in enforcing or protecting the Lien on or rights and
interest in the Collateral or any of their rights or remedies under this or any other agreement
between the parties hereto or in respect of any of the transactions to be had hereunder until paid
by Borrowers to the Lenders with interest at the Default Interest rate, shall be considered
Obligations owing by Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder. Such Obligations shall be secured by all
Collateral and by any and all other collateral, security, assets, reserves, or funds of Borrowers
in or coming into the hands or inuring to the benefit of the Lenders. Neither the Collateral Agent,
the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable or responsible in any way for the
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care
in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in the Lenders’ actual possession) or for any
diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding
agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same shall be at the Borrowers’ sole risk.
Section 5.5Assignments and Records of Accounts. If so requested by an Agent following
an Event of Default and for so long as the same shall be continuing, the Borrowers shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent formal written assignments of all of the Accounts weekly
(unless the Collateral Agent requests that such assignments be executed and delivered more
frequently), which shall include all Accounts that have been created since the date of the last
assignment, together with copies of invoices or invoice registers related thereto. Borrowers shall
keep accurate and complete records of the Accounts and all payments and collections thereon.
Section 5.6Administration of Accounts.
(a) Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete
records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to the Collateral
Agent on such periodic basis as the Collateral Agent shall request a sales and
- 75 -
collections report for the preceding period, in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
provided that Collateral Agent shall not request such report more than once during any 30 day
period for so long as no Event of Default exists. Each Borrower shall also provide to the
Collateral Agent on or before the 20th day of each month, (i) a detailed aged trial balance of all
Accounts existing as of the last day of the preceding month, specifying the names, addresses, face
value, dates of invoices and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed
(“Schedule of Accounts”), (ii) upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, copies of proof of
delivery and a copy of all documents, including repayment histories and present status reports
relating to the Accounts so scheduled, (iii) a reconciliation of the Borrowers’ Accounts aging
report to the Borrowers’ general ledger and applicable Borrowing Base Certificates delivered to the
Collateral Agent and (iv) such other matters and information relating to the status of then
existing Accounts as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. In addition, if Accounts in an
aggregate face amount in excess of $1,500,000 cease to be Eligible Accounts in whole or in part,
Borrowers shall notify the Collateral Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 2
Business Days) after any Borrower’s having obtained knowledge of such occurrence and the Borrowing
Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence.
(b) Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If any Borrower grants any discounts, allowances
or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, such Borrower
shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be to the Collateral Agent as
part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If any amounts due and owing in excess of
$1,500,000 are in dispute between any Borrower and any Account Debtor, or if any returns are made
in excess of $1,500,000 with respect to any Accounts owing from an Account Debtor, such Borrower
shall provide the Collateral Agent with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the
next Schedule of Accounts, explaining in reasonable detail the reason for the dispute or return,
all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. At any time an Event of Default exists,
the Collateral Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with
the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Accounts
comprising a part of the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may deem
advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys’ fees,
to Borrowers. Borrowers shall not permit Delek Marketing to grant any discounts, allowances or
credits as to any Account which Borrowers would not otherwise be permitted to grant under this
Section 5.6(b), provided that such discounts, allowances or credits are either shown on the face of
the invoice for the Account involved or such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be,
are reported by the Borrowers to the Collateral Agent as part of the next required Schedule of
Accounts.
(c) Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes payable to
any Governmental Authority, and unless the Borrowers are diligently contesting the payment of such
Taxes in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been set
aside on Borrowers’ books, the Administrative Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, upon
notice to the Borrowers and after the Borrowers’ failure or inability to pay such Tax, to pay such
Tax (without duplication of other payments made with respect to any such Tax), the amount thereof
to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor;
provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes
that may be due by Borrowers.
- 76 -
(d) Account Verifications. For so long as an Event of Default exists, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right, in the name of the Collateral Agent, any designee of the
Collateral Agent or any Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any
Accounts of such Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise, provided that from
and after any date on which the Excess Availability Conditions are not satisfied (and thereafter
until the Reinstatement Conditions are satisfied), Collateral Agent shall have the right at any
time or times, in the name of the Collateral Agent, any designee of the Collateral Agent or any
Borrower, to conduct such verifications whether or not an Event of Default exists,
provided , further , that the Collateral Agent will endeavor in good faith to notify
the Borrowers after any such request for verification, but the Collateral Agent shall have no
liability, nor shall the Borrowers have any recourse against the Collateral Agent, in the event the
Collateral Agent fails to so notify the Borrowers. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with the
Collateral Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
(e) Maintenance of Dominion Account. The Borrowers shall maintain a Dominion Account
at SunTrust (or such other bank acceptable to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to arrangements
acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall issue to SunTrust an irrevocable letter
of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received in the
Dominion Account. Borrowers shall enter into agreements, in form satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, with each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained by which such bank shall
immediately transfer to the Cash Collateral Account all monies deposited to the Dominion Account.
All funds deposited in each Dominion Account shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s Lien.
Borrowers shall obtain the agreement (in favor of and in form and content satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) by each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained to waive any offset
rights against the funds deposited into such Dominion Account, except offset rights in respect of
charges incurred in the administration of such Dominion Account. Neither Agent nor any Lender
assumes any responsibility to Borrowers for such Dominion Account, including any claim of accord
and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.
(f) Collection of Accounts and Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite collection, each
Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of such Borrower’s Accounts for
the Administrative Agent and Lenders. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take such
reasonable steps to ensure that all Account Debtors forward payment directly to such Dominion
Account (or other collection arrangements related to the Dominion Account), and deposit and cause
its Subsidiaries to deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the
first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar
items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any and all Collateral
(whether or not otherwise delivered to pursuant to such collection arrangements) into the Dominion
Account. Borrowers shall issue to each bank servicing such collection arrangements an irrevocable
letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received by
it to the Dominion Account. All Payment Items received by any Borrower in respect of its Accounts,
together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower as trustee of an
express trust for the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ benefit; such Borrower shall immediately
deposit same in kind in the Dominion Account.
- 77 -
(g) Application of Proceeds; Cash Collateral Account. The balance in each
Dominion Account shall be swept at least once on each Business Day to a Cash Collateral Account
maintained at SunTrust. If at any time there are any Loans outstanding, or any other Obligations
which are then due and payable, (i) for so long as no Event of Default exists the Administrative
Agent shall apply the balance of any Cash Collateral Account as the Borrowers may direct to the
repayment of such Loans or other Obligations or (ii) if the Borrowers have not so directed the
Administrative Agent or at any time an Event of Default exists, the Borrowers authorize the
Administrative Agent to apply the balance in a Cash Collateral Account as the Administrative Agent
may elect, in repayment of such Loan or other Obligation; provided ,however ,
that in the event that the Administrative Agent elects to apply such amount (or a portion thereof)
in repayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such amount shall at the Borrowers’ option, in lieu of
being applied in repayment of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, be held by the Administrative Agent for
application to such Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or otherwise
applied to Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.20 . The Borrowers agree that each Cash
Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent.
Without limiting the foregoing, funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account, after application
to any outstanding Loans or other Obligations shall be invested only in cash and Permitted
Investments, which shall be made at any time when no Event of Default exists at the direction of
the Borrowers. At any time when an Event of Default exists each Lender maintaining a Cash
Collateral Account, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall promptly remit all funds in
the Cash Collateral Account maintained by such Lender to a Cash Collateral Account maintained at
SunTrust as the Administrative Agent shall designate. Without limiting the foregoing, for so long
as an Event of Default exists, all sums held in a Cash Collateral Account may be held in cash or
may be invested in such Permitted Investments as the Administrative Agent alone may elect. Neither
of the Borrowers nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through a Borrower shall have any right to
demand payment of any funds held in any Cash Collateral Account at any time prior to the
termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the payment in full of all then outstanding and
payable monetary Obligations and termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to apply all funds and Permitted
Investments in a Cash Collateral Account as provided in Section 2.24(b) and the Loan
Documents.
(h) Notification of Account Debtors. The Administrative Agent retains the right at all
times after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to notify Account Debtors of any
Borrower that Accounts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and to collect Accounts
directly in its own name and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs and expenses incurred by
the Agents, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(i) Limitations on Bank Accounts. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Agreement, the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall not open any deposit account unless the depository bank for
such deposit account is a Lender that has entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. As of the Closing Date, all bank accounts of any
nature of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are listed on Schedule 5.6 and such
Schedule designates which such accounts are deposit accounts.
Section 5.7Administration of Inventory.
- 78 -
(a) Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate
and complete records of its Inventory (including records showing the cost thereof and daily
withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto) and shall furnish the Collateral Agent inventory
reports respecting such Inventory in form and detail satisfactory to the Collateral Agent at such
times as the Collateral Agent may request, but so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no more frequently than once each week unless the Collateral Agent shall elect to
receive such reports on a more frequent basis (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
certain items noted in Schedule IV , shall only be updated on a weekly basis). Each
Borrower shall, at its own expense, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually
(and on a more frequent basis if requested by the Collateral Agent when an Event of Default exists)
and periodic cycle counts consistent with such Borrower’s historical practices and shall provide to
the Collateral Agent a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count promptly after
completion thereof, together with such supporting information as the Collateral Agent shall
request. The Agents may participate in and observe each physical count or inventory, which
participation shall be at Borrowers’ expense at any time that an Event of Default exists.
(b) Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any of its Inventory to a supplier
or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for cash, credit against future purchases or then
existing payables, or otherwise, unless (i) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business of
such Borrower and such Person; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result therefrom; (iii) the return of such Inventory will not result in an Out-of-Formula
Condition; (iv) such Borrower promptly notifies the Collateral Agent thereof if the aggregate value
of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $1,500,000; and (v) any payments received by such
Borrower in connection with any such return are promptly turned over to the Administrative Agent
for application to the Obligations.
(c) Acquisitions and Sale of Inventory. No Borrower shall acquire or accept any
Inventory on consignment or approval. No Borrower shall sell any Inventory to any customer on
approval or any other basis upon which the customer has a right to return (except if
non-conforming) or obligates any Borrower to repurchase such Inventory.
(d) Maintenance of Inventory. Borrowers shall produce, use, store and maintain all
Inventory with all reasonable care and caution in accordance with applicable standards of any
insurance and in conformity with Applicable Law (including the requirements of the FLSA) and will
maintain current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases) at all
locations at which any Inventory is maintained or stored.
- 79 -
Section 5.8Marketing Agreement; Etc. The Administrative Agent
hereby consents to Delek Refining entering into the Marketing Agreement and the Services Agreement,
provided that such consent shall not be deemed to modify in any respect the obligations of
Borrowers under this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to the
Accounts or any other Collateral. Borrowers shall comply in all material respects with the terms
and provisions of the Qualified Marketing Documents having application to Borrowers and notify the
Administrative Agent promptly of any material non-compliance, unreasonable delay or other default

semi-monthly period ending not more than two (2) Business Days earlier. At any date after the
Excess Availability Conditions are not satisfied (and thereafter until the Reinstatement Conditions
are satisfied), Borrowers shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (and the Collateral Agent shall, on
request from a Lender, promptly deliver to such Lender) a Borrowing Base Certificate weekly as of
each Wednesday (or the next Business Day) in respect of the prior week, or at such more frequent
intervals as the Collateral Agent may request (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
certain items as noted in Schedule IV , shall only be updated on a weekly basis). All
calculations of Availability in connection with any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be
made by the Borrowers and certified by a Responsible Officer to the Agents, provided that the
Agents shall have the right to review and adjust, in the exercise of their credit judgment, any
such calculation (i) to reflect their reasonable estimate of declines in value of any of the
Collateral described therein and (ii) to the extent that such calculation is not in accordance with
this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the amount of the Availability Reserve. No less
frequently than bi-weekly, a Borrowing Base Certificate shall indicate, without limitation, the
Account Debtors of a Borrower who are also creditors of Mapco and the availability on any
applicable date of Mapco under its working capital credit facility for purposes of the Agents’
determination of the applicability and extent of the Mapco Reserve.

have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $100,000;

their Subsidiaries of any written notice of an alleged default or event of default, in respect of

permitted under Section 7.3 .
Section 5.12Compliance with Laws, Etc. The Borrowers will, and will cause each of
their Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and requirements of any
Governmental Authority applicable to its business and properties, including

either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
Section 5.13Payment of Obligations. The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their
Subsidiaries to, pay and discharge at or before maturity, all of their obligations and liabilities

reasonable times and as often as the Agents or any Lender may reasonably request after reasonable
prior notice to the Borrowers; provided ,however , that if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, no prior notice shall be required; provided ,

businesses in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (b) maintain

Administrative Agent may, at Borrowers’ expense, procure the same, but shall not be required to do

Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express
reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to an Agent by
the Borrowers or any Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection
with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to an Agent. The Agents may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
Section 9.3Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender
and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents
or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the
Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under
or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.
Section 9.4Certain Rights of the Agents. If an Agent shall request instructions from
the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including
- 94 -
the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such
Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without
limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against either Agent as
a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.
Section 9.5Reliance by Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper Person. The Agents may also rely upon any statement made to them orally or by
telephone and believed by them to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by them and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts.
Section 9.6The Agents in their Individual Capacity. Any bank or other financial
institution serving as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any
other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain
from exercising the same as though it were not an Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required
Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise
indicates, include each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their individual
capacities. Any bank acting as an Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Borrowers as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
Section 9.7Successor Agents.
(a) An Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers.
Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent,
subject to the approval by the Borrowers provided that no Event of Default shall exist at such
time. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or a
bank or a commercial finance lender which maintains an office in the United States, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.
(b) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If within 45 days after
written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.7 no
successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such
45 th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective,
- 95 -
(ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under
the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the
retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its representatives and
agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as an
Agent.
Section 9.8Authorization to Execute other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby
authorizes each Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other than this
Agreement.
Section 9.9Documentation Agent; Syndication Agent. Each Lender hereby designates The
CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. and National City Business Credit, Inc. as Co-Documentation Agents
and agrees that the Co-Documentation Agents shall have no duties or obligations, as such, under any
Loan Documents to any Lender or any Loan Party. Each Lender hereby designates Bank of America, N.A.
and PNC Bank, National Association as Co-Syndication Agents and agrees that the Co-Syndication
Agents shall have no duties or obligations, as such, under any Loan Documents to any Lender or any
Loan Party.
Section 9.10BSI Report; Reconciliation to Borrowing Base. Upon the Agents’ receipt of
the BSI Report, they shall promptly reconcile such report to the most recent Borrowing Base
Certificate and deliver such reconciliation to the Lenders.

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and other
communications to any Person shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective
the next day after presentation to an overnight courier for overnight (next-day) delivery, or
transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine, respectively, or if mailed, upon the fifth
Business Day after the date on which the same is deposited with the US Postal Service by certified
or registered mail or if delivered, upon delivery; provided, that notices delivered to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank shall not be
effective until actually received by such Person at its address specified in this Section
10.1 .
(b) Any agreement of the Agents and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone
or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrowers. The Agents and the
Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person
authorized by the Borrowers to give such notice and the Agents and Lenders shall not have any
liability to the Borrowers or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the
Agents or the Lenders in good faith reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The
obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall not be
affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Agents and the Lenders to receive
written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by an Agent and the
Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the such Agent and the
Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile notice.
Section 10.2Waiver; Amendments; Out-of-Formula Loans.
(a) No failure or delay by an Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the
Agents or any Lender , shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right or power or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power
hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2 , and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter
of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of
whether an Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default
or Event of Default at the time.
(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor
consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or the Borrowers and
the Agents with the consent of the Required Lenders and then
- 98 -
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the
Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or
interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment,
or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.22(b) or
(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby , without
the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2 ,
Section 2.24 , Section 5.19 or the definitions of “Availability Reserve”,
“Borrowing Base”, Pro Rata Share” or “Required Lenders” (or other defined terms used in such
definitions) in a manner more favorable to the Borrowers or any other provisions hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each
Lender; (vi) release any guarantor or limit the liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty
agreement, without the written consent of each Lender; (vii) enforce the Administrative Agent’s
rights under the Pledge Agreement, without the consent of each Lender; (viii) release a material
portion of the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement or agree to subordinate any Lien in
the Collateral to any other creditor of a Borrower or any Subsidiary, without the written consent
of each Lender; or (ix) consent or agree to any material amendment to the Subordination Agreement
without the consent of each Lender; provided further , that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of an Agent, the Swingline Bank or the
Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Person. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any
Lender (but with the consent of the Borrowers and the Agents) if, upon giving effect to such
amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended
and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19 , 2.20 , 2.21 and
10.3 ), such Lender shall no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been
paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under
this Agreement.
(c) Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may
require the Lenders to honor requests by the Borrowers for Out-of-Formula Loans (in which event,
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.1 or elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Lenders shall continue to make Revolving Loans up to their respective Revolving
Commitment) and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula Condition, (1)
when no Default exists (or if a Default exists, when the existence of such Default is not known by
the Administrative Agent), if and for so long as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition does not
continue for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, following which no Out-of-Formula Condition
exists for at least 15 consecutive days before another Out-of-Formula Condition exists, (ii) the
amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at any time does not exceed the aggregate of the
Revolving Commitments at such time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by the
Administrative Agent at the time in question to exceed $10,000,000; and (2) regardless of
- 99 -
whether or not an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers the existence
of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist or if any Out-of-Formula
Condition exists by reason of the making of any Agent Advance, the Lenders shall be obligated to
continue making such Revolving Loans as directed by the Administrative Agent only (A) if the amount
of the Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $7,500,000 above the amount
determined by the Administrative Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for a
period not to exceed 5 Business Days; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount
of all such Out-of-Formula Loans exceed $15,000,000. In no event shall the Borrowers or any other
Loan Party be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 10.2(c) or authorized to enforce
any of the provisions of this Section 10.2(c) .
(d) Each Lender grants to the Administrative Agent the right to purchase all (but not less
than all) of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, LC Commitment, the Loans and LC Exposure owing to
it and the Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents at a price equal to the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans and LC Exposure owed
to such Lender (together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees owed to such Lender), which
right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent if such Lender refuses to execute any amendment,
waiver or consent which requires the written consent of all Lenders and to which the Administrative
Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrowers have agreed. Each Lender agrees that if the
Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and other agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate
such assignment. The Administrative Agent may assign its purchase rights hereunder to any assignee
if such assignment complies with the requirements of Section 10.4(b) .
Section 10.3Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents
and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Agents and their Affiliates, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel
and the allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
including its rights under this Section 10.3 , or in connection with the Loans made or any
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the
Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee “) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the
- 100 -
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable fees and time charges and
disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or
asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing
Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii)
any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or
operated by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries , or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any
other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrowers or any
other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrowers or such Loan Party has obtained a
final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(c) The Borrowers shall pay, and hold the Agents and each of the Lenders harmless from and
against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to
this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due
thereunder, and save the Agents and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities
with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.
(d) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid to an Agent,
the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may
be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided , that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be,
was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
- 101 -
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or any Letter of Credit
or the use of proceeds thereof.
(f) All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor.
Section 10.4Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no
Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in
the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to
a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent)
shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Loan or
reimbursement obligation of outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the Administrative Agent shall
consent thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned and
(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $1,000, and the
Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. Upon (i) the execution and delivery of the Assignment and Acceptance
by the assigning Lender and assignee Lender, (ii) acceptance and recording thereof by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.4 , (iii) consent
thereof from the Borrowers to the extent required pursuant to this clause (b) and (iv) compliance
by such assignee with Section 2.21(e) or Section 2.21(f) , as applicable, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
- 102 -
Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.3). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section
10.4 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assignee will be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.19 , 2.20 or 2.21 than the applicable Assignor
would have been entitled to receive had such assignment not occurred.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta, Georgia a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register “). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, an Agent, the
Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Swingline Bank, the Issuing Bank and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
with respect to the following to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Commitment
of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any
Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date
fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or interest
thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.22(b) or (c) in a
manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written
consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.4 or the
definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage
of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any
guarantor or limit the liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty agreement without the
written consent of each Lender except to the extent such release is expressly provided under the
terms of the Guaranty
- 103 -
Agreement; or (vii) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the
Obligations. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.4 , the Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19 , 2.20 , and
2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4 , provided that such Participant agrees to
be bound by and subject to the provisions of each such section as though it were a Lender. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender.
(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.19 and Section 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.21 unless the Borrowers are notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.21(e) or Section 2.21(f) , as applicable, as
though it were a Lender.
(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process.
(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and be
governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State
of Georgia .
(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Northern District of
Georgia, and of any state court of the State of Georgia located in Xxxxxx County and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
such Georgia state court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right
that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or
its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
- 104 -
(c) Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described
in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.5 and brought in any court referred to in paragraph

extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner
provided for notices inSection 10.1 . Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
Section 10.6 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO
HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 10.7 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender and the Issuing Bank
shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply
against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrowers at
any time held or other obligations at any time owing by such Lender and the Issuing Bank to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all Obligations held by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, irrespective of whether such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall
have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender and the
Issuing Bank agree promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers after any such
set-off and any application made by such Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be; provided,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 10.8 Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed by
one or more
of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy),
and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement, the Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter
agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the
- 105 -
Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto
regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters.
Section 10.9Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made
by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with
or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans
and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.19 ,
2.20 , 2.21 , and 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments
or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All representations and warranties
made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.
Section 10.10Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting
the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the
illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.11Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and
each Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any
information designated in writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary, except that such information may be disclosed (i) subject to provisions substantially
similar to this Section 10.11 , to any Related Party of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any such Lender, including without limitation accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority, (iv) to
the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section 10.11 , or which becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a
source other than the Borrowers, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, and
(vi) subject to provisions substantially similar to this Section 10.11 , to any actual or
prospective assignee or Participant, or (vii) with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section
- 106 -
10.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person
has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such
Person would accord its own confidential information.
Section 10.12Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively,
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such
Lender.
Section 10.13Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal. Each Borrower represents
and warrants
that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document pursuant to any requirement of law or regulation, agrees that this
Agreement is delivered by Borrowers under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of
limitations that may result from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other
Loan Documents.
Section 10.14Posting of Electronic Communications; Viewing of
Accounts.
(a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers agree that the Administrative
Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to
the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by posting such Approved Electronic
Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the
Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with
generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative
Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password
Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a
single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic
Platform only on a deal-to-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers
acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not
necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution
and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers hereby approves
- 107 -
distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic
Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(C) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED
“AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF
THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (THE “AGENT
AFFILIATES”) WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR
ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS) IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ITS AFFILIATES
IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
(d) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers agree that the Administrative
Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the
Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the
Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(e) The Borrowers hereby grant to the Collateral Agent access to the Borrowers’ Cash
Collateral and Dominion Accounts maintained at SunTrust through SunTrust’s on-line platforms for
the sole purpose of viewing the account balance reporting and other transactions affecting such
accounts. If the Collateral Agent shall at any time notify the Administrative Agent that such
access has been denied, terminated or limited, SunTrust shall be authorized to grant such access to
the Collateral Agent, but SunTrust shall have no liability to the Borrowers for granting such
access nor any liability for the Collateral Agent’s misuse, mistakes or misconduct in connection
therewith.
Section 10.15Transitional Provisions.(f)
(a) On the Closing Date, this Agreement shall supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its
entirety, except as provided in this Section 10.15 . On the Closing Date, the rights and
obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the “Loans” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement
shall be converted to Loans as defined herein and the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank
for the account of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be converted into
Letters of Credit under this
- 108 -
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent necessary, the
Existing Lenders and the Agents reserve all their rights under the Existing Credit Agreement and
each of the Borrowers hereby obligates itself again in respect of all present and future
Obligations under, inter alia , the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this
Agreement.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Existing Lenders under the
Existing Credit Agreement will promptly return to the Borrowers, marked “Substituted” or
“Cancelled”, as the case may be, any notes held by the Existing Lenders pursuant to the Existing
Credit Agreement.
(c) The credit extensions and commitments made by the Existing Lenders and outstanding
pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be assigned without recourse and re-allocated among
the Lenders so that, and credit extensions and commitments shall be made by the Lenders pursuant to
this Agreement so that, from and after the Closing Date, the respective commitments and credit
extensions of the Lenders shall be in accordance with Schedule II . Credit extensions made
by Existing Lenders shall, effective as of the Closing Date, be evidenced and governed by this
Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(d) All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing under or in respect of the
Existing Credit Agreement through the Closing Date shall be calculated as of the Closing Date (pro
rated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Closing Date. Unless sooner
paid on the Original Closing Date, on the Closing Date the fees hereunder shall be payable by the
Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
(e) This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety and is
entitled to the benefit of all existing Loan Documents. Any reference in any other Loan Documents
to the “Credit Agreement”, the “
Revolving Credit Agreement, the “Agreement,” “thereunder,”
“therein,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement shall mean
and refer to this Agreement. Any reference in any other Loan Document to the “Obligations” or any
similar term including or referencing obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement shall include
and reference the Obligations as defined in this Agreement. All Obligations under the Existing
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue to be outstanding except as expressly
modified by this Agreement and shall be governed in all respects by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, it being agreed and understood by the parties hereto that this Agreement does not
constitute a novation, satisfaction, payment or reborrowing of any Obligation under the Existing
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly modified by this Agreement, nor,
except as expressly provided herein, does it operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of
any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Document. The security interests granted
pursuant to any Loan Documents shall, as modified hereby, continue in full force and effect, and
are hereby affirmed, with respect to this Agreement and the Obligations as defined herein. In the
event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this
- 109 -
Agreement and the terms and provisions of any other Loan Document, the terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall govern.
(remainder of page left intentionally blank)
- 110 -
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Schedule 4.5 — Litigation and Environmental Matters
Unless otherwise stated in this Schedule 4.5, the capitalized terms in this Schedule 4.5, and
only this Schedule 4.5, are defined as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Schedule 4.5(a)
1. The refinery has registered its solid and hazardous waste management activities with the
TCEQ and EPA. The refinery is registered as a RCRA treatment and storage facility and has
classified and registered twenty-six active (or closure pending) and additional inactive and closed
SWMUs at the site. In 1988, the refinery received a RCRA hazardous waste management permit (Permit
No. HW-50062-000), which was renewed in 1998. The renewal permit contained provisions for
management, closure, and post-closure care of four hazardous waste management units (Old Sludge
Drying Bed, New Sludge Drying Bed, Aeration Basin, and Stormwater Containment Basin). Seller
received closure certification for the Old Sludge Drying Bed and New Sludge Drying Bed in 1999. The
permit also contains requirements for corrective actions related to seventeen SWMUs and has been
amended to incorporate the groundwater compliance plan for the site (CP-50062-000) issued by the
TNRCC on April 30, 1999, and a Class 3 Compliance Plan modification issued by the TCEQ on Jan. 9,
2004.
2. Since 1985, Seller has conducted numerous investigations of soil, groundwater and surface
water at the refinery and beyond refinery property. These investigations have identified a
widespread area of the subsurface that is contaminated with free-phase and dissolved-phase
hydrocarbons. Seller suspects that the source of this contamination was old underground product
transfer piping at the site. Currently, more than ninety-five percent of product transfer piping at
the site has been moved to aboveground, thereby minimizing the suspected primary source of
subsurface contamination at the refinery. The contamination at the site has migrated off the
refinery property to the north and historically seeped into the creek and tributary east and west
of the site. Beginning in 1987, La Xxxxxx began installing and operating recovery xxxxx to capture
groundwater contaminated with free-phase and dissolved hydrocarbons.
3. In 1989, Seller entered into an Agreed Order with the TWC which required Seller to
undertake certain investigations and remedial actions related to a 1988 compliance inspection. This
Agreed Order resulted in the following projects: (i) the installation of an On-site Subsurface
Hydrocarbon Recovery System; (ii) the investigation of three off-site properties and installation
of an Off-site Subsurface Hydrocarbon Recovery System (see further discussion below); (iii) an
Aboveground Piping Project in which underground hydrocarbon piping was replaced with aboveground
piping; (iv) a Plant-wide Soil Investigation including twenty-two areas of contaminated soil
throughout the plant (see RFI discussion below); and (v) an upgrade of the plant wastewater
systems. The plant wastewater systems upgrade has been completed and is in operation.
4. Under the 1989 Agreed Order with the TWC and subsequently under the RCRA groundwater
compliance plan for the site, the recovery system has been expanded. As of February 2005, there
were 304 monitoring xxxxx and 134 recovery xxxxx being used to monitor and remediate the
groundwater contamination at the refinery.
5. In
2001, the TCEQ approved the multi-phased RFI that Seller
began at the refinery in 1991 The RFI concluded that the site-wide
free-phase hydrocarbon plume beneath
site was the source of contamination in a majority of
SWMUs and that investigation and remediation separate from what was being
implemented for site-wide groundwater was not necessary. Several SWMUs at the
refinery were identified as requiring further investigation and corrective actions
because contamination in these, areas was inconsistent with the contamination
in site-wide groundwater. In addition, a free-phase. hydrocarbon plume was
identified to be migrating onto the refinery property from a former terminal
operation (not owned by Seller) located adjacent to the southern refinery
property boundary (upgradient) The terminal owner (Xxxxxxxxxxx Enterprises)
had installed and operated a remediation system to address this contamination,
however the system is no longer in operation.
6. In September 2001, Seller submitted to the TCEQ a revised strategy for
addressing the soil and groundwater contamination present at the site
under the TRRP. Under this
program, Seller plans to address remediation of soil within the
various SWMUs identified in the RFI. in addition, Seller plans to establish
a PMZ in which the free-phase and dissolved-phase plume must be contained.
Recently, Seller acquired some of the property (Xxxxxx property, Xxxxx/Xxxxxx
property, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx property) north of the refinery onto which the
plume has migrated Also, Seller has established an access agreement for the
Xxxxxx properties. On June 26, 2002, Seller completed the installation of a
600-feet slurry wall along Tributary “D” on the Xxxxxx property. Seller expects
that additional containment devices (slurry walls) may also be necessary to
supplement the existing recovery system and plans to conduct ongoing monitoring
to demonstrate that the contamination is not migrating beyond the PMZ. On May 23,
2002, the TCEQ approved Seller’s application for a Class 3 Compliance Plan
Modification, which contains the revised remediation strategy for the site.
7. A more detailed summary of investigations, remedial actions, and ongoing RFI activities
relevant to each area of the site is provided below (general descriptions of these areas are
described within the disclosures under Schedule 4.5(b)):
7.1
Aeration Basin: In 1991, four soil borings were installed downgradient of the Aeration
Basin unit. The samples identified organic compounds in soil; however, the source of this
contamination was not determined since the entire area was underlain by the free product plume. In
1992, Seller drained and removed the sludge from each basin and, in 1994, the TNRCC certified that
this unit was no longer used to manage hazardous waste. Under the Hazardous Waste Permit,
Compliance Plan, and 1989 Agreed Order for the refinery, Seller conducts routine groundwater
monitoring downgradient of this unit. Also, as required in the RCRA permit for the site, in 2002,
Seller has financial assurance instruments in place to .cover costs related to closure and
post-closure care for this unit.
7.2
Stormwater Containment Basin: A total of six soil borings and twenty-six soil samples
were obtained from this area and six groundwater monitoring xxxxx were constructed in the borings
placed on the eastern and western sides of the basin during the RFI. This investigation identified
confined areas of shallow soil contaminated with hydrocarbons and metals. The RFI recommended
further investigation to better delineate the contamination. In 1994, the TNRCC certified that
this unit was no longer used to manage hazardous waste. In March 2002, Seller received TCEQ
approval to remove the Stormwater Containment Basin as a
SWMU to be addressed under the RFI. This unit will be addressed under the RCRA permit and
Compliance Plan. Seller is required to continue to conduct groundwater monitoring downgradient of
this unit as part of the Compliance Plan for the refinery. As required in the RCRA permit for the
site, Seller has financial assurance instruments in place to cover approximately the closure and
post-closure care for this unit.
7.3
SWMU No. 01 — Landfill (Catalyst): A total of fifteen soil borings and eighty soil samples
were obtained from this area, and three groundwater monitoring xxxxx were placed downgradient of
this area during the RFI. This investigation identified confined areas of shallow soil contaminated
with hydrocarbons and metals. The RFI recommended further investigation to better delineate the
contamination. In addition, the RFI investigation in the area identified a plume of hydrocarbon
contamination migrating into this area of the refinery property from an offsite upgradient
terminal operation not owned by Seller. This plume has been delineated and a groundwater
remediation system was installed and paid for by the TCEQ Underground Storage Tank Fund; however,
the remediation system is no longer in operation. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review
and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in
September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with two samples from each) will be
necessary to delineate the contamination in this area. It also recommends that the area should be
remediated via hot spot removal and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil
sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an affected property report (APAR) for
each unit is in progress.
7.4 SWMU No. 06 — Container Storage Area: A total of eight soil borings and forty-nine soil
samples were obtained from this area, and two existing groundwater monitoring xxxxx downgradient of
this area were sampled during the RFI. This investigation concluded that hydrocarbon contamination
was present in the top two feet of the southeastern portion of the area. The RFI recommended
further investigation to better delineate the contamination. In addition, the RFI investigation in
the area identified a plume of hydrocarbon contamination migrating into this area of the refinery
property from an offsite upgradient terminal operation not owned by Seller. This plume has been
delineated and is currently being remediated by the owner of the terminal. The RCRAFaci1ity
Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management,
submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with three
samples from each) will be necessary to delineate the contamination in this area. It also
recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal and closure under TRRP Remedy
Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an
APAR for each unit is in progress.
7.5 SWMU C — Upper Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): In May 1990, Seller removed sludges
and contaminated soils that were within the upper pond in anticipation of closing this unit. A
total of approximately 4,000 cubic yards of stabilized waste was removed from the pond and sent to
an off-site disposal facility. In August 1990, Seller completed eleven soil borings within and on
the pond dikes. During the RFI, four additional soil borings were completed and fifteen soil
samples were obtained from this unit. The results of these investigations indicated that confined
shallow areas associated with the two former pond spillways were contaminated with hydrocarbons
and metals. The ReRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures
and Groundwater Management,
submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that the low-level contamination remaining
in this area does not exceed applicable PCL’s for the site, and that no additional soil
remediation related to this unit is required to close it under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
7.6 SWMU E — Lower Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): In May 1990, Seller removed sludges
and contaminated soils that were within the lower pond in anticipation of closing this unit. A
total of approximately 4,000 cubic yards of stabilized waste was removed from the pond and sent to
an off-site disposal facility. In August 1990, Seller completed nine soil borings within and on the
pond dikes. During the RFI, three additional soil borings were completed and thirteen soil samples
were obtained from this unit. The results of these investigations indicated that a confined area
within and southwest of the dike area (correlating to the former location of the spillway) was
contaminated with hydrocarbons and metals. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and
Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in Septerrtoer
2001, concludes that two soil borings (with two samples from each) will be necessary to delineate
the contamination in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot
removal and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard A. The additional soil sampling and analyses have
been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in
progress.
7.7
SWMU F — Landfills (24 Tank Bottom Pits): In 1989, Seller conducted a preliminary
investigation of the tank bottom pits, collecting 634 soil samples from thirty-one suspected pit
locations. This investigation confirmed the locations of twenty-one
tank bottom pits. The RFI expanded on the data collected in 1989 through the completing of seventy additional soil borings at
the suspected tank bottom pit sites, downgradient of the pit sites, and in a firewall suspected of
containing tank-bottom material. The RFI concluded that a total of twenty-four tank-bottom pits
were present within the tank-farm area. Although eight of the pits were fully delineated, the RFI
recommended further investigation to delineate the extent of contamination at the remainder of the
pit sites. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and
Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that twenty to
twenty-five soil borings (with one sample from each) will be necessary to delineate the
contamination in these pit areas. It also recommends that the areas should be remediated via hot
spot removal and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses
have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
7.8 SWMU H — Landspreading Area: This area was investigated as part of the RFI because sludges
or leaded tank bottoms allegedly were spread in this area. Twenty-two samples were collected from
five soil borings in the area. Based on this data, the RFI concluded that there was no evidence
that there was any impact in this area from historic operations. The RCRA Facility Investigation
Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the
TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for
it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
7.9 SWMU I — Sandpit: This area was investigated as part of the RFI to determine if oil/dirt
production in this area led to contamination. Twenty-three soil samples were collected from the
area. Based on this data, the RFI concluded that there was no evidence
that there was any impact in this area from historic operations. The RCRA Facility Investigation
Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the
TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for it
to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
7.10 SWMU K — Oil/Dirt Production Area: This area was investigated to determine if process
sludges were used historically in the production of oil/dirt in the area. During the RFI, ten
additional soil borings were completed and forty-six soil samples were obtained from this unit.
Based on this data, the RFI concluded that contamination in this area was limited to the surface
and was consistent with that expected from residual oil/dirt rather than process waste. In
addition, the RFI included an analysis of sample data from several locations around the refinery
where oil/dirt had been used as a construction material and stabilizing agent. This analysis
concluded that, although residual oil/dirt remains in this and other areas of the refinery, there
was no evidence that there was any impact from the application of the oil/dirt within the plant.
The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and
Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional
investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
7.11 SWMU M — Stormwater Basin Sludge Storage Area: In 1989, all of the waste present in this
area was excavated and disposed of in an appropriate offsite disposal facility. During the RFI, a
total of eight soil borings and thirty soil samples were obtained from this area. Based on this
data, the RFI concluded that there was no evidence that there was any impact in this area from
historic operations. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit
Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that two to
three soil borings (with three sample from each) may be required if the TCEQ requests further
confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via
hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies contaminated areas, and closure under TRRP
Remedy Standard A. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of
an APAR for each unit is in progress.
7.12 SWMU N — API Separators, Sumps, Sewer System, and Ditches: Between 1991 and 1994, Seller
completed an upgrade of the refinery wastewater collection and treatment system. During the
upgrade, a majority of the underground lines and junction boxes in the collection system were
replaced. In addition, an emergency sump and oil reclamation/storage facilities were removed from
the area to make room for a new storm water surge tank. During the RFI, thirteen soil borings were
completed and a total of sixty-six samples were analyzed to determine of the operation of these
systems had impacted soil and groundwater. The areas around the splitter boxes within the
collection system were found to have been impacted by organic compounds. The data also showed that
the drainage ditch around the carbon-black loading dock was not impacted. The area around the
collection box, API separators, emergency sump, and the oil reclamation/storage facilities were
found to have a detectable impact, most likely resulting from overflows that occurred from these
units prior to the renovation. The impact from these units extended from the surface to the
saturated depth in some areas. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations
for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes
that five to six soil borings (with two sample from each) may be required if TNRCC requests
further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should. be
remediated via hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies contaminated areas, and.
closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed
and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
7.13 SWMU 0 — Xxxxx Plant: During the RFI, forty-two soil borings were completed in the area
and 109 samples were collected. Results of these samples showed that, although this area was not
the .apparent source of the contamination, the free product plume at the site underlies the entire
Xxxxx Plant. The RFI concluded that the following other areas within this unit appear to be
impacted with organics and metals:
|
• |
|
Portions of the area around abandoned equipment at the Old Xxxxx Plant |
|
|
• |
|
Areas related to the coke fines piles area |
|
|
• |
|
Areas related with the railcar xxxxxx at the New Xxxxx Plant |
|
|
• |
|
Areas around the pumps in the Xxxxx Clarifier |
|
|
• |
|
The top two feet of some areas near the Drain N. 30 Outfall area |
|
|
• |
|
The top two feet of soil on the north side of the Xxxxx Pond |
7.14 The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and
Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that four to five soil
borings (with two sample from each) may be required if the TCEQ requests further
confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via
hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies contaminated areas, and closure under TRRP
Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation
of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
7.15 SWMU P —
Container Storage Area: During the RFI, three soil borings were completed in the
area. Results of this investigation showed that soil in the former storage area and adjacent
drainage ditch contained organic and metal contamination. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program
Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in
September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with two sample from each) may be
required if the TCEQ requests further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends
that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies
contaminated areas, and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and
analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
7.16 SWMU Q — Process Storage Tanks: During the RFI, thirteen soil borings were completed in
the area and fifty-six samples were collected. An impact from organic compounds was detected in
all of the process tank areas investigated. The source of this contamination was not determined
although the entire unit is located within the footprint of the
free product plume at the site. Metal contamination was also detected in the top two feet
of soil in certain areas of the unit. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and
Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September
2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed
under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
7.17 SWMU R — Landfill (Sulfuric Acid Pit): During the RFI, five soil borings were completed
in the area and fifteen samples were collected. These samples indicated a release of acid from the
pit that impacted soils to a depth of at least eight feet below the base of the pit in a confined
area. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and
Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional
investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
7.18 SWMU S — Container Storage Areas: During the RFI, five soil borings were completed in
this unit and eighteen samples were collected. Samples from each of the areas investigated
contained metal and/or organic compound contamination. The RCRAFacility Investigation Program
Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in
September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with two sample from each) may be
required if the TCEQ requires further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends
that the area should be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and
analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
7.19 SWMU T — Caustic Storage Area: During the RFI, eight soil borings were completed in this
unit and eighteen samples were collected. All of the samples collected from this area contained
elevated pH levels. Samples from each of the areas investigated contained metal and/or organic
compound contamination. The most impacted areas were on the west and southwest sides of the unit,
immediately adjacent to the former refinery pump house. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program
Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in
September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation in necessary in this area for it to be
closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
7.20 Mercury Spill Area: In 1993, a line from an overflow reservoir on a manometer located at
an outside wall at the electric shop broke, leading to the release of one to five pounds of
elemental mercury. Soils in this area were impacted. Initial assessment and remediation activities
were completed in this area and a report on the activity was submitted to the TNRCC in 1994. A
second interim report detailing assessment, excavation, and disposal activities was submitted to
the TNRCC in 1997. Based upon the findings of these reports, Seller was required to conduct
additional investigation and remediation in the area. Additional sampling, analysis, excavation and
disposal were conducted in 1997 and 1998 to remove all soils containing concentrations of mercury
in excess of TRRP Standard No. 1. A final report on this remediation was submitted to the TNRCC in
April 1998. Although no formal approval on this cleanup has been received from the TCEQ, Seller
does not expect that future investigation or remediation is required related to this spill area.
7.21 PCB Spill at Sub #2 South/Xxxxxx Switchgear: On April 8, 1999, approximately fourteen
gallons of PCB oil were released from the Sub #2 transformer. The spill apparently migrated within
the piping insulation into the underground electrical vaults. The soil and equipment impacted from
this spill were remediated in April and May 1999, and measures were taken to prevent future spills.
Twelve drums of PCB contaminated debris and approximately thirty-one tons of PCB contaminated soil
generated during the cleanup were shipped to the Chemical Waste Management landfill in Emelle,
Alabama. A report on this cleanup was sent to the TNRCC on May 25, 1999. Although no formal
approval on this cleanup has been received from the TCEQ, Seller does not except that future
investigation or remediation is required related to this spill area.
7.22 Plume Management Zone: In 1989, La Xxxxxx entered into an agreed order with TWC that
required La Xxxxxx to investigate and delineate the nature and extent of groundwater contamination
at the site and to implement a system that would prevent further migration of free-phase or
dissolved-phase contamination. In response to this agreed order, Seller also completed facility
upgrades to replace the underground product lines that likely were the source of the contamination.
La Xxxxxx is currently operating 304 monitoring xxxxx and 134 recovery xxxxx to delineate and
remediate groundwater contamination both on and downgradient of the refinery.
7.22.1 In August 2002, Seller purchased the seven-acre portion of the Xxxxxx property onto
which the plume has migrated. In 2003, Seller acquired the Xxxxx/Xxxxxx property north of the
refinery onto which the plume has migrated. In April 2004 Seller purchased the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
property north of the refinery onto which the plume has migrated. Also, Seller has established an
access agreement for the Xxxxxx property for continued investigations, Seller is required to
remediate these properties in accordance with the 1989 TWC Agreed Order and the RCRA Compliance
Plan.
7.22.2 The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures
and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, recommends that a PMZ be
established under the TRRP rules to address the remaining groundwater contamination and to
prevent it from migrating into adjacent surface water bodies. Although, the TCEQ has not
formally approved this strategy, Seller has been informed that the TCEQ favors such an
approach. To proceed with this strategy, Seller purchased the Xxxxxx, the Xxxxx/Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx properties.
7.22.3 Under the TRRP PMZ approach., Seller also will be required to demonstrate that neither
free-phase nor dissolved contaminants extend beyond the established PMZ. To accomplish this, Seller
anticipates several modification to the existing groundwater monitoring and recovery system,
which may also include the installation of additional slurry wall barriers. On June 26, 2002,
Seller completed the installation of a 606-feet slurry wal1 along Tributary “D” on the Xxxxxx
property. Once the PMZ has been established, Seller will be required to continue to maintain the
recovery facilities and conduct periodic monitoring to demonstrate that the plume is being been
contained.
8. In conjunction with the RCRA Part B permit, the refinery has a Compliance Plan No,
CP-50062-000 issued by the TNRCC on April 30, 1999, and with modifications submitted in
2002. On May 23, 2002, the TCEQ approved Seller’s application for a Class 3 Compliance Plan
Modification, which contains the revised remediation strategy for the site, and a Class 3
Compliance Plan modification issued by the TCEQ on Jan. 9, 2004.
9. On September 19, 2002, Seller received a Notice of Deficiency from the TCEQ regarding its
pending application for a Title V permit for the site. The deficiency specified that the refinery
flares should be listed on OP-UA50 (NSPS J Refinery Sources), which means that TCEQ considers the
flares to be subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 60 NSPS Subpart J. A final draft Title V permit with all
requested revisions was. issued in February 2004. La Xxxxxx completed required public notice and
submitted a copy of all permit materials to the EPA for review. TCEQ issued the Clean Air Act Title
V permit to La Xxxxxx on May 6, 2004.
10. NSPS J requires that all fuel gas, such as vent gas or off gas burned in a flare be less
than 160 ppm H2S. La Xxxxxx will install H2S analyzers on 4 process flares by
May 9, 2005, as required in TCEQ Agreed Order in Docket No. 2004-0291-AIR-E.
11. La Xxxxxx obtained a Small Refiner Hardship Waiver from EPA’s gasoline sulfur standards
through 2009, which sets forth conditions for compliance. On March 7, 2005, La Xxxxxx submitted a
report to EPA indicating that the sulfur content of gasoline produced during 2004 exceeded the
corporate pool average standard and that certain batches of gasoline exceeded the cap-per-gallon
standard established for the refinery. La Xxxxxx acquired credits and allotments to achieve
compliance with the corporate pool average standard for 2004. In addition, La Xxxxxx will meet with
EPA to discuss resolution of the non-compliant gasoline batches containing sulfur in excess of the
cap-per-gallon, standard.
12. Many of the Administrative Orders and Agreed Orders disclosed in Schedule 4.1(n) (b)
required or require modifications and operational changes, with which Seller has complied or
continues to comply.
13. There are several current regulatory obligations that have future compliance dates that
will result in remedial, removal, or response costs in the future. These obligations are described
below:
13.1 Seller is evaluating options for complying with the newly promulgated EPA regulations
governing revisions of existing Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plans (SPCC) required
by February 13, 2006. Compliance with revised SPCC regulations may require additional diking as
well as other modifications.
13.2 As required, by September 1, 2003, Seller submitted to the TCEQ air permit applications
for three grandfathered units (2 for utility boilers and 1 for the LPG Truck Loading Area) at the
refinery. The permits were issued on July 12, 2004 and August 11, 2004. La Xxxxxx will file for a
permit-by-rule (formerly designated a standard exemption) for other eligible units.
13.3 La Xxxxxx had received approval from the TCEQ to produce federal ultra-low sulfur diesel
one year earlier than required (April 2005) in lieu of producing Texas low emission diesel (LED) in
2006. The TCEQ has extended the deadline for production of LED until October 1, 2005.
13.4 The refinery is modifying certain equipment to meet the Refinery MACT II (NESHAPs
for Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery
Units) requirements issued in 2002. Required controls will entail scrubbing the platformer
catalyst regenerator vent, installing continuous monitoring devices on the vent and conducting more
performance testing among other things. La Xxxxxx will complete these modifications and conduct
the performance testing by April 11, 2005, and submit a complete test report to the TCEQ within 150
days thereafter.
14. La
Xxxxxx was named a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) of the
Shore Refining Superfund
Site in Longview, Texas, first by TNRCC in 1995 and then by EPA in 1996. The 7.5-acre site was
formerly a used oil refinery. Seller’s refinery is alleged to have disposed of tank-bottom waste at
the site in 1981 and 1983. La Xxxxxx and the other PRPs settled with EPA in 2001 and agreed to
conduct a removal action to resolve their liability. La Gloria’s allocation was 5.5 percent of an
estimated $1.1 million dollars to conduct the cleanup action. The removal action is now complete.
The agreement requires the PRPs who settled to pay EPA’s oversight costs in overseeing the
implementation of the remedy, and not all of those costs have been incurred yet. The Administrative
Order on Consent does not release La Xxxxxx from groundwater conditions should the state or EPA
pursue a groundwater cleanup.
15. Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Corporation Vs. La Xxxxxx, No 6:97CV509 (E.D. Tex.). In 1998, Seller
settled a lawsuit with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Corporation which owned property directly north of the
refinery, resolving a claim of alleged property damage. The settlement imposed some obligation on
both parties. In April 2004, La Xxxxxx purchased the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx property negating the
obligations and access fees for ongoing groundwater remediation on the property. Asbestos
containing materials are present in a former manufacturing building on-site.
16. In 2002, Seller purchased the Xxxxxx and Xxxxx property, northeast of the refinery
resolving a claim of an alleged property damage that did not result in a lawsuit, by the Xxxxxx and
Xxxxx estate. Seller retains indemnity obligations under that purchase and sale agreement.
17. In 2002, Seller purchased the Xxxxxx property and retained certain indemnity obligations
under the purchase and sale agreement.
18. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, et al. v. International Truck & Engine, et al., District Court for Xxxxx
County, Texas. Plaintiff alleges that he contracted renal cell carcinoma as a result of exposure
to diesel fumes and other “carcinogenic petroleum products” at various premises, including La
Xxxxxx.
19. Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxx, et al. v. A. C. & S., et al., District Court for Orange County, Texas.
Plaintiff alleges that he was a boilermaker from 1944 to 1985, and that he contracted asbestos
related disease from exposure to asbestos manufactured by some defendants and used on the premises
of other defendants, including La Xxxxxx.
20. Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, et al. v Arco Chemical, et al., District Court for Jefferson County, Texas.
Plaintiffs claim injuries related to asbestos exposure at La Xxxxxx refinery. There are
approximately fourteen plaintiffs and approximately seventy-four defendants. Only one plaintiff,
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xx., claims exposure at La Gloria’s facility.
21. Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, et al. v. Crown Central Petroleum Corp., et al., District Court for
Xxxxxx County, Texas. Plaintiffs allege that they or their decedents are former La Xxxxxx employees
who were injured or killed due to exposure to chemicals during employment. There are approximately
forty-eight employee-plaintiffs (along with numerous heirs and family members) and thirty-five
defendants. The liability claims have all been settled, but certain
workers’ compensation claims
are still open.
Schedule 4.5(b).
1. Some disclosures described in other subsections of Schedule 4.5 may be responsive to this
subsection as well. To the extent those disclosures apply to this subsection, Borrowers incorporate
those disclosures herein for all purposes.
2. Pipeline Newco and Land Newco (as defined in this Agreement) were created pursuant to the
divisive merger of XxXxxxxx Pipe Line Company (“XxXxxxxx”). XxXxxxxx owns certain properties on
which Hazardous Materials may have been spilled or released onto or into the soil, surface water or
groundwater or emitted as air emissions. Pipeline Newco and Land Newco may become a successor to
certain environmental liabilities and remediation obligations as a result of the allocation of real
property and other assets formerly owned by XxXxxxxx. Delek has not conducted any investigation
(other than the Phase I investigation conducted pursuant to due diligence analysis) regarding the
environmental condition of the properties of Pipeline Newco and Land Newco, and, therefore, can
make no representation or warranty regarding the condition of such properties.
3. Such failure to comply with any Environmental Law or any Environmental Liability (including
any basis for potential Environmental Liability) as set forth in that certain Phase II Report
prepared by ARCADIS for Holdings (as defined in this Agreement) dated April 14, 2005, which is
incorporated herein, and which has been provided to Lenders.
4. Small amounts of Hazardous Materials may-have been spilled or released onto or into the
soil, surface water or groundwater or emitted as air emissions from the refinery in the normal
course of business for which Seller, and therefore Delek Refining, may have no specific record.
Seller, and therefore Delek Refining, does not possess discrete files identifying every release of
Hazardous Materials into the soil, water or air. In addition, releases may have occurred prior to
the time that Seller acquired the refinery, and therefore Seller (including Delek Refining) would
have no such knowledge, other than any files in its possession. The following list (beginning on
the next page) includes all the releases for which Seller has documentation:

6. Platformate Tank No. 8 was the possible source of a release in the year 2004. The tank
was emptied and upon being cleaned and blasted, holes and corrosion
were discovered, The tank was
taken out of service in July 2004. The bottom will be replaced and the tank thoroughly inspected
before being put back in-service.
7. Areas of the refinery where Hazardous Materials may have been used, stored, generated,
treated, or disposed are described in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous
waste management permit (Permit No. HW-50062-000). The refinery is registered as a RCRA treatment and
storage facility and has classified and registered twenty-six active (or closure pending) and
additional ‘inactive and closed solid waste management units (SWMUs) at the site. Permit No.
HW-50062-000 was issued in 1988, and renewed in 1998. The 1998 renewal permit included provisions
for management, closure, and post closure care of four hazardous waste management units (Old Sludge
Drying Bed, New Sludge Drying Bed, Aeration Basin, and Stormwater Containment Basin). Seller
received closure certification for the Old Sludge Drying Bed and New Sludge Drying Bed in 1999. The
permit also contains requirements for corrective actions related to seventeen SWMUs and has been
amended to incorporate the groundwater compliance plan for the site (CP-50062-000) which was issued
by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) on April 30, 1999, and modified in a
Class 3 Compliance Plan issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on Jan. 9,
2004.2
8. A groundwater plume containing free product exists beneath the surface of the refinery and
has migrated off-site. This may be due to the handling, release, generation and/or disposal of
Hazardous Materials at the refinery. Since 1985, La Xxxxxx has conducted numerous investigations of
soil, groundwater, and surface water at the refinery. These investigations have identified a
widespread area of the subsurface that is contaminated with free-phase and dissolved-phase
hydrocarbons. Seller suspects that the source of this contamination was old underground product
transfer piping at the site. Currently, more than ninety-five percent of product transfer piping at
the site has been moved to aboveground, thereby minimizing the suspected primary source of
subsurface contamination at the refinery. With the exception of six line segments, all known
underground hydrocarbon service lines were tested in 2004. The six line segments will be tested in
the spring 2005 during the crude unit turnaround. Leaks were detected in four of the line segments
tested in 2004 and were either repaired or replaced with new aboveground lines. The contamination
at the site has migrated beyond the refinery property to the north and to the creek and tributary
east and west of the site.
9. Seller has been removing free product and remediating groundwater pursuant to a Phase II
Groundwater Investigation and 1989 Texas Water Commission (TWC) Agreed Order which contains a
description of groundwater contamination on the refinery which has migrated to properties owned by
Xxxxxx, and those properties formerly owned by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Corporation, which Seller has recently acquired. La Xxxxxx has been authorized to enter the Xxxxxx
property by an access agreement, which has been renewed

The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) was created on September 1,
1993 by consolidating the jurisdiction and responsibilities of the former
Texas Air Control Board (TACB) and the former Texas Water Commission (TWC) into a single agency.
Effective September 1, 2002, the TNRCC was renamed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ). |

annually. The current access agreement expires on December 13, 2005. In addition, foundry metals
from the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx property might have migrated in the soils or groundwater to the Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxx and Xxxxx properties, all of which are now owned b Seller.
10. Other areas of the refinery where Hazardous Materials were generated, used, stored,
treated, or disposed are described in the RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) Report. In 2001, the
TNRCC approved a multi-phased RFI that Seller began at the refinery
in 1991. The RFI concluded
that the site-wide free-phase hydrocarbon plume beneath the site was the source of contamination in
a majority of SWMUs arid that investigation and remediation separate from what was being
implemented for site-wide groundwater was not necessary. Several SWMUs at the refinery were
identified as requiring further investigation and corrective actions because contamination in these
areas was inconsistent with the contamination in site-wide groundwater. In addition, a free-phase
hydrocarbon plume was identified to be migrating onto the refinery property from a former terminal
operation (not owned by Seller) located adjacent to the southern refinery property boundary
(upgradient). The terminal owner (Xxxxxxxxxxx Enterprises) had installed and operated a remediation
system to address this contamination, but the system is no longer in operation.
11. In September 2001, Seller submitted to the TNRCC a revised strategy for addressing the
soil and groundwater contamination present at the site under the Texas Risk Reduction Program
(TRRP), which also contains a description of areas of the refinery where Seller used, treated,
stored, generated or disposed of Hazardous Materials. On May 23, 2002, Seller submitted a Class 3
Compliance Plan Modification Application, which was approved by TCEQ in February 2004, which
reflects this strategy.
12. A more detailed description of the areas of the refinery where Hazardous Materials may
have been generated, used, stored, treated or disposed is as follows:
12.1 Old Sludge Drying Bed: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW-50062-000. It was an
approximately 0.07-acre, four-sided, rectangular, open-top tank constructed of reinforced concrete.
Various listed refinery wastes were stored in this tank until 1985, when the unit was clean closed.
12.2
New Sludge Drying Bed: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW -50062-000. It was an
approximately 0.07-acre, four-sided, rectangular, open-top tank constructed of reinforced concrete.
Various listed refinery wastes were stored in this tank until March 1996. The TNRCC approved the
closure of the bed on August 26, 1999.
12.3 Aeration Basin: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW-50062-000. This unit is
comprised of two adjacent, below-grade, concrete-lined basins with ‘interconnected piping. The two
basins cover 1.06 acres. Since 1980, the basins have received process wastewater following its
treatment in the API separators at the site. Historically, this process water was a characteristic
hazardous waste, however, this process water ceased being a hazardous waste after the wastewater
system modifications were completed in 1994. The process water treated in the aeration basins is
discharged to the City of Tyler publicly owned treatment works (POTW) pursuant to Industrial
Wastewater Discharge Permit No. 02-79-22 for the refinery.
- 34 -
12.4 Stormwater Containment Basin: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW-50062-000 as SWMU
B. It is a long, rectangular basin that was built to take advantage of a natural creek bed
(Blackfork Creek), with the creek, being diverted to the east. The basin was originally an earthen
impoundment constructed below grade. The walls were later raised four feet and retrofitted with a
two to three inch thick concrete bottom. The basin walls are also constructed of concrete. The
basin is 560 feet long, 45 feet wide and approximately 6.5 feet deep, with an estimated maximum
capacity of 900,000 gallons. The basin receives storm water from the refinery process area,
aboveground storage tank (AST) tank-farm area, main plant entry road, and truck-loading terminal.
12.5 SWMU No 01 — Landfill (Catalyst): This area is located in the southwestern portion of
the site, adjacent to Tributary “D”. The four areas of concern identified in the RCRA Facility
Assessment within this area are the Drum Spill Area, Catalyst Fines Disposal Area, Caustic Spill
Soil Spreading Area, and Former Ponds Area. No waste management activities are currently conducted
in this area. La Xxxxxx submitted an AFAR for this unit to the TCEQ on January 31, 2005.
12.6
SWMU No. 06 — Container Storage Area: This area consists of a 400 by 500 feet fenced
storage yard located near the southwestern corner of the refinery. The majority of containers were
historically stored in the southeastern corner of the storage yard. La Xxxxxx plans to submit an
AFAR for this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
12.7 SWMU C — Upper Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): This unit is located near the western
property boundary of the refinery. The upper pond was constructed in the 1950s as a surface
impoundment to manage wastewater discharged from the API separator and was active until 1988. The
upper pond was a clay-lined impoundment that measured approximately 275 by 230 feet with an average
depth of six feet. The pond contained two concrete spillways, one used to transfer water to the
Lower Pond (see below) and one used to discharge to the City of Tyler POTW. This pond was active
until 1988. La Xxxxxx submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further
action was required for this unit.
12.8 SWMU E — Lower Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): This unit is located near the
southwestern portion of the refinery and northeast of the Upper Wastewater Pond. The lower pond was
constructed in the 1950s and expanded in the 1960s to serve as an emergency overflow pond for the
upper pond. This pond was active until 1988. La Xxxxxx submitted an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ
on February 7, 2005.
12.9 SWMU F— Landfills (24 Tank Bottom Pits): This unit consists of small pits or trenches
within the refinery tank farm areas that historically were used to manage tank bottoms. The pits
typically were no larger than three feet by ten feet and five feet deep. Comprehensive
investigations at the refinery have identified a total of twenty-four of these pits. La Xxxxxx
discontinued the practice of managing tank bottoms in on-site pits in the early 19.70x. Xx Xxxxxx
submitted an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ on February 1, 2005.
12.10 SWMU H — Landspreading Area: This area consists of an approximately two-acre sand lot
located northeast of the process area of the refinery. The area is
- 35 -
bounded on the east by an equipment lay-down yard, on the south by a plant road, on the west by
Blackfork Creek, and on the north by a wooded La Xxxxxx submitted a report to the TCEQ on January
4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit. La Xxxxxx submitted a report
to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
12.11 SWMU I — Sandpit: This area is located in the northern portion of the refinery
property. A sand borrow pit occupies the northeast portion of this area. Oil/dirt, which
historically was used at the facility as a construction material, was produced in this area. La
Xxxxxx submitted a report to the TCBQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was
required for this unit.
12.12 SWMU K Oil/Dirt Production Area: This area is located in the extreme northeast portion of
the site and consists of three subunits. The main oil/dirt production sub area measures three to
four acres. Two other oil/dirt production sub areas measure approximately one acre each. La Xxxxxx
submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required
for this unit.
12.13
SWMU M — Stormwater Basin Sludge Storage Area: This area is located in the extreme northern
portion of the site, adjacent to and south of the Oil/Dirt Production Area. The area historically
was used to store sludge removed from the Stormwater Basin. La Xxxxxx plans to submit an APAR for
this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
12.14
SWMU N — API Separators, Sumps, Sewer System, and Ditches: This unit consists of the
historic process wastewater system at the refinery, including the collection system, collection
box, two API separators, an emergency sump, and oil reclamation/storage facilities. The collection
system is located within the process units on the west side of Blackfork Creek while all of the
other units are located directly east of the process units and on the opposite side of Blackfork
Creek. The collection system consists of underground lines and junction boxes that are located
throughout the process units. This collection system routs process wastewater and storm water from
the process units to the concrete, steel-lined collection box, in which it is diverted to one of
the two API separators. The emergency sump, which received storm water run-off arid overflow from
the API separators, was removed during wastewater treatment plant upgrades in the early 1990s. Some
older oil reclamation/storage facilities, used to process the oil recovered from the API
separators, were also removed during this upgrade: Pretreated wastewater is discharged to site
aeration basins. La Xxxxxx submitted an APAR for the API Separator Area to the TCEQ on February 4,
2005.
12.15
SWMU O — Xxxxx Plant: This unit consists of five subunits located in the northwestern
portion of the site. The subunits are the Old Xxxxx Plant, New Xxxxx Plant, Xxxxx Clarifier, Old
Xxxxx Pond, and Discharges from Dike Drain No. 30. La Xxxxxx plans to submit an APAR for this
unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
12.15.1 The Old Xxxxx Plants located on the north side of the area and consists of an abandoned
petrochemical process unit and an area that was used to store bulk quantities of coke fines. The
Old Xxxxx Plant was taken out of service in 1979. Most of the coke fines were removed. The
equipment and some remnants of the coke pile remain today.
- 36 -
12.15.2 The New Xxxxx Plant area is currently occupied by an operating petroleum coking
process that has been in operation since 1979. Two areas of potential impact were identified in
this area: a railroad xxxxxx car loading rack and an area used to stage heat exchangers during
cleaning.
12.15.3 The Xxxxx Clarifier is an aboveground concrete tank, approximately 100 feet in
diameter, which is used to separate coke fines from xxxxx drill-out water.
12.15.4 The Xxxxx Pond was a 245 by 165 feet impoundment used to store coke fines removed from
the clarifier during emergency shutdowns and storm water from the xxxxx tank farm. The use of the
pond was discontinued in 1992 and accumulated coke was removed. The pond has subsequently been
lined and is currently used to store fire water.
12.15.5 The Dike Drain No. 30 Area is an area approximately 200 feet north of the blend tank
farm. Storm water from the tank farm formerly drained to this location.
12.16 SWMU P — Container Storage Area: This area measures approximately 32 by 15 feet and is
located in the western portion of the process area between the boiler plant and sulfur recovery
unit (SRU). Drums containing methanol-still bottoms were historically stored in this area. The
process that used methanol at the refinery has been discontinued. An adjacent drainage ditch is
also considered part of this unit. La Xxxxxx submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005,
indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
12.17 SWMU Q — Process Storage Tanks: ASTs (Process Tanks Nos. 20, 21, 23, 26, 56, and 128) at
the refinery that may have been used to process wastes. Although this unit covers the following
areas: process tanks SWMU, API separator SWMU, and blend tank farm lead pit SWMU, the impacts of
generation, use, storage, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Materials related to the API separator
SWMU and blend tank farm lead .pit SWMU are reported under SWMUs N and F, respectively. La Xxxxxx
plans to submit an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
12.18
SWMU R — Landfill (Sulfuric Acid Pit): This unit is located in
the northwest corner of
the active area of the refinery, adjacent to Tributary “D”. The sulfuric acid pit is an unlined
earthen basin that measures approximately thirty square feet. The pit was constructed in 1970 to be
used as an emergency overflow pit for releases from the sulfuric acid storage area containment berm
that is located approximately 400 feet to the northwest. This unit has been inactive since 1979. La
Xxxxxx submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was
required for this unit.
12.19 SWMU S — Container Storage Areas: This area includes four areas: the east end of the
mechanical/electrical shop, the lube oil storage area, the area to the south of the old heat
exchanger shop, and the boiler chemical storage area. These areas were investigated during the RFI
to assess the potential extent of past releases of solvents and lube oil. La Xxxxxx plans to submit
an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
12.20 SWMU T — Caustic Storage Area: This area is located within the process area of the
refinery, south of the Old Xxxxx Plant. This unit was investigated during the
- 37 -
RFI to determine if past releases of caustic had impacted soil. La Xxxxxx submitted a report
to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
13. On January 4, 2005 La Xxxxxx submitted a Groundwater Response Action plan to, the TCEQ
proposing a Plume Management Zone (PMZ) that, would include the entire area of free-phase and
dissolved groundwater contamination that has been delineated at the refinery. This area
encompasses the northern portion of the refinery site, and portions of the properties formerly owned
by Xxxxxx Cameron, Roosth, and Xxxxx and Xxxxxx and portions of properties, currently owned by
Union Pacific Railways and Texas Xxxxxxx Corp. It is bound by Blackfork Creek to the north and
east, and Tributary “D” to the west.
14. On January 24, 2005, the TCEQ instructed La Xxxxxx to conduct a Tier II Ecological Risk
Assessment for the creeks described in Paragraph No. 10 above. La Xxxxxx agreed to submit the
Ecological Risk Assessment by April 30, 2005.
15. Before the TCEQ may approve the PMZ, the two remaining affected property owners must
provide documentation confirming their agreement to a Restrictive Covenant in their respective
property records. Currently, La Xxxxxx is negotiating with Union Pacific Railroad and Xxxxxxx
Chemical Company on these agreements.
16. The high-sulfur diesel tank (T-43) was the possible source of a release in the year
2002. The tank was initially tested and determined not to be leaking but, upon being cleaned and
blasted, holes and corrosion were discovered. The tank was taken out-of-service and the bottom was
repaired. The tank was retested and no leaks were found. The tank was then returned to service.
17. In October 2002 a release to groundwater from the process wastewater 60-inch sewer line
was discovered. The line was taken out-of-service, and the leak was repaired by replacing a
section of the line. The line was then tested, found not to be leaking and placed back in service.
The area of the release is located in the proposed PMZ.
18. As a result of periodic and/or annual inspections conducted by the TCEQ or its
predecessor agencies (the TNRCC, the TACB and the TWC), the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), and/or the City of Tyler, or self-reported information, Seller was notified of
alleged violations or “areas of concern” involving the generation, use, treatment, storage or
disposal of Hazardous Materials and/or solid wastes, the emission of air contaminants into the
atmosphere and/or the discharge of pollutants into surface or
groundwater not in accordance with
Environmental Laws as described briefly below:
18.1 The City of Tyler issued Notices of Violation (NOVs) dated December 10, 2004 and January
18, 2005 to Seller for alleged violations of the City’s pretreatment limitations for oil and
grease in refinery wastewater discharged to-the city’s publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
18.2 As a result of inspections and record reviews by the TCEQ on August 1, 2002, November 7,
2002, June 5 2003, and November 20, 2003, the TCEQ issued a Notice of Enforcement (XXX) Action to
Seller on April 6, 2004. The XXX alleges violations related to excess emissions from cooling
towers, an upset report not submitted within 24 hours, lack of
- 38 -
hydrogen
sulfide (H2S) monitors on refinery flares, unauthorized emissions from the SRU sulfur
pit, and inadequate shutdown devices on the Truck Loading Rack. Based on information submitted by
Seller, the TCEQ withdrew the alleged violation regarding excess emissions from the cooling tower.
Seller has achieved compliance at the Truck Loading Rack shutdown device and the SRU sulfur pit.
TCEQ Agreed Order in Docket No. 2004-0291-AIR-E, as revised, was approved by the Commission on
February 9, 2005. The order imposes corrective action, such as
the installation of H2S
monitors on refinery flares, in accordance with a specific schedule. La Xxxxxx has already paid
the administrative penalties of $120,650.00.
18.3 In February and April of 2003, EPA conducted a comprehensive evaluation of applicable air
regulations at the refinery. In a letter dated October 30, 2003, EPA notified Seller of certain
“Areas of Concern” and cited possible violations in the following areas: the Leak Detection and
Repair Program, numerous upsets and shutdowns of the SRU and the CO Boiler, benzene waste NESHAPS
(National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) controls prior to 1997, and possible
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) violations related to the start of construction date
of a plant expansion in 1979. In a letter dated December 22, 2003, Seller provided EPA with a
substantial amount of information addressing the alleged violations. On November 8, 2004, the
United States Department of Justice (DOJ) advised Seller that the government intends to seek a
consent decree to resolve the alleged violations. Seller provided additional information to EPA and
the DOJ in a letter dated December 21, 2004. On January 24, 2005, Seller met with representatives
of EPA Region 6 and the DOJ and discussed the terms of a potential consent decree.
18.4 As a result of a records review by the TCEQ on November 1-10, 2004, the TCEQ issued an
XXX to Seller on December 23, 2004. The XXX alleges that La Xxxxxx failed to demonstrate the
criteria for establishing an affirmative defense for unauthorized air emissions that occurred
during maintenance on the sulfur recovery unit at the Tyler refinery in September 2004. In a
letter dated February 21, 2005, La Xxxxxx provided additional information to the TCEQ to
supplement its affirmative defense.
18.5 As a result of an EPA inspection conducted on June 4, 2002, Seller was required to
verify clean up of a PCB leak. Seller collected additional samples which indicated further clean
up was required in eight spill areas. La Xxxxxx has completed cleaned-up all the spill areas,
submitted post-cleanup verification sampling to EPA, removed all remaining PCB transformers at the
refinery and replaced them with non-PCB transformers.
18.6 On September 17, 2004, EPA filed a Complaint, Consent Agreement and Final Order in
Docket No. TSCA-06-2004-08l8 that resolved all past violations and imposed penalties of
$64,027.00, which Seller paid on September 2, 2004.
18.7 As a result of an inspection on July 22, 1999, the TNRCC notified Seller of the
following: 1) emissions from the sulfur pit were being vented to the air rather than being routed
to the SRU incinerator, as required by the refinery’s air permit; and 2) the Vapor Recovery Unit
(VRU) serving the gasoline loading rack was not in service as required by Special Provisions Nos.
1 & 2 of Air Permit No. R-72 and 40 C.F.R. Part 63 Subpart R (NESHAPS for Gasoline Distribution
Facilities).
- 39 -
18.8 Seller submitted and the TNRCC approved an application to amend the air permit to
allow the flare to be used full time at the Truck Loading Rack, instead of the VRU, for vapor
control. The refinery believes that it is now in compliance with EPA’s Maximum Achievable Control
Technology for petroleum refineries (MACT I) and Seller’s air permit. During a turnaround in
September 2004, Seller repaired leaks at the sulfur pit so that these emissions are now routed to
the SRU incinerator. These issues are being addressed in the pending DOJ matter described in
Paragraph 13.3 above.
18.9 Noncompliance with MACT I and NESHAPs for benzene waste operations was identified in
1999. The refinery has installed the required controls. This issue is being addressed in the
pending DOJ matter described in Paragraph 13.3 above.
18.10 In 1999, the City of Tyler Water Utilities issued an NOV for alleged noncompliance with
local effluent standards for oil and grease, pH, and phenol on January 26, 1999.
18.11 As a result of stormwater discharges in excess of the limitations in TNRCC Permit No
01590 and EPA Permit No. TX0001449, which have been consolidated into TPDES Permit No. 01590,
Seller and EPA entered into an administrative order, dated January 6, 1993. The refinery corrected
most of these plant-wide (non-process) storm water violations and now experiences non-compliant
discharges once or twice a year. Seller has received an NOV and Administrative Order (No.
VI-99-0081) from EPA regarding these plant-wide stormwater violations and Seller responded with

Exhibit A
[SECOND] AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, DELEK REFINING, LTD., a Texas limited partnership
(“Delek Refining”), and DELEK PIPELINE TEXAS, INC., a Texas corporation (“Delek Pipeline”;
hereinafter, together with their respective successors and assigns, individually referred to as a

may from time to time be advanced as Revolving Loans by the Lender to the Borrowers hereunder, plus
interest as hereinafter provided. Such advances of Revolving Loans may be endorsed from time to
time on the grid attached hereto, but the failure to make such notations shall not affect the
validity of any Borrower’s obligation to repay unpaid principal and interest hereunder.
This Note is one of the Revolving Credit Notes referred to in that certain Second Amended and
Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) of even date herewith among the Borrowers, the lenders party

hereafter may be designated as an Issuing Bank pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the “Issuing
Banks”), SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent for the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (the
“Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent for itself and the Lenders (“Collateral Agent”).
All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit
Agreement except to the extent such capitalized terms are otherwise defined or limited herein.
All principal amounts and other Obligations then outstanding hereunder shall be due and
payable in full on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, or such earlier date the Revolving
Loans shall be due and payable in full, whether by acceleration or otherwise pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. The Borrowers also shall repay principal outstanding hereunder from time to time as
provided in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers shall be entitled to borrow, re-pay and re-borrow funds hereunder pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Prepayment of the principal amount of any
Revolving Loan may be made only as provided in the Credit Agreement.
Each Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof as
provided in Article II of the Credit Agreement. Interest under this Note also shall be due and
payable when this Note shall become due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or
otherwise). The Obligations shall bear Default Interest payable at the rate, in the manner and at
the times provided in the Credit Agreement.
In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of
interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by any
Borrower or inadvertently received by the Lender, then such excess sum shall be allocated in
accordance with Section 10.12 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent lawful, and any sums that
cannot lawfully be allocated in accordance therewith shall be credited as a payment of principal,
unless such Borrower shall notify the Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess sum
returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay, and the Lender not
receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may
legally be paid by the Borrowers under applicable law.
All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether a Borrower, any
guarantor, endorser or any other Person, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of
non-payment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest and notice of any other kind whatsoever.
No delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising its rights
under this Note, or delay or omission on the part of the Lender, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Required Lenders or the Lenders collectively, or any of
them, in exercising its or their rights under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan
Document, or course of conduct relating thereto, shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any
other right of the Lender or any holder hereof nor shall any waiver by the Lender, the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders
collectively, or any of them, or any holder hereof, of any such right or fights on any one occasion
be deemed a bar to, or waiver of, the same right or rights on any future occasion.
Each Borrower hereby promises to pay all costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees,
should this Note be collected by or through an attorney-at-law or under advice therefrom.
|
|

benefits of the Loan Documents to the extent provided therein and any other agreement or instrument
providing collateral for the Revolving Loans, whether now or hereafter in existence, and any
filings, instruments, agreements and documents related thereto and providing collateral for the

confer upon Administrative Agent a security interest in each such Commercial Tort Claim and
perfect such interest therein.
(m) Other Additional Collateral. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, a Loan
Party shall acquire any securities, Instruments, Chattel Paper or other personal property
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent as Collateral hereunder, the Loan Party
shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent of same and take such action as requested
by the Administrative Agent and at its own expense to ensure that the Administrative Agent
has a first priority perfected Lien in all personal property of the Loan Parties whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, subject only to Permitted Liens.
7. [Reserved].
8. Events of Default.
The occurrence of an event which under the Credit Agreement would constitute an Event of
Default shall be an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”).
9. Remedies.
(a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during
continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and
remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in the Bank Product Agreement between any
Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of any Lender or by law (including, but not limited
to, the rights and remedies set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction
applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and
remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral),
and further, the Administrative Agent may, with or without judicial process or the aid and
assistance of others, (i) enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be
located and, without resistance or interference by the Loan Parties, take possession of the
Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Loan
Parties to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent at the expense of the
Loan Parties any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent
which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such
-12 -
premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without
demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Loan
Parties hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, at any place, and time or times, sell
and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, by one or more
contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such
terms as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all
mandatory legal requirements). Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that any private sale
referenced above may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and
other terms which might have been obtained, at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing,
agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. In addition to all other sums due the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to
the Secured Obligations, the Loan Parties shall pay the Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders all reasonable documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any
such Lender, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in
obtaining or liquidating the Collateral, in enforcing payment of the Secured Obligations, or in the
prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders or the Loan Parties concerning any matter arising out of or connected, with this Security
Agreement, any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the
foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the. Bankruptcy Code. To the extent
the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Loan Party agrees that any
requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on or mailed,
postage prepaid, to the Borrowers in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 10.1
of the Credit Agreement at least 10 days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the
requirement of such notice. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be obligated to make
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the
extent permitted by law, any Lender may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each of the Loan Parties hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect
to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral
by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to
the extent permitted by law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such
time and place.
(b) Remedies relating to Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
during the continuation thereof, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all
of its rights and remedies hereunder, each Loan Party will promptly upon request of the
Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a
mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Administrative Agent or its
designee may notify any Loan Party’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Loan
Party have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative Agent’s security
interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name a Loan Party or both) demand,
collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for,
sell, xxx for, compound, settle, compromise and give, acquittance for any and all amounts due or to
become due on any Account, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take
any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Accounts. Each Loan Party acknowledges
and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent
in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Administrative Agent’s own
convenience and that such Loan Party shall, not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts
or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein.
-13 -
The Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall have no liability or responsibility to any Loan Party for acceptance of a check,
draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar
import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the
correctness of any remittance. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments,
costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders (each, an “Indemnified Party”) because of the maintenance of the
foregoing arrangements except as relating to or arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of an Indemnified Party or its officers, employees or agents. In the case of any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding, the foregoing indemnity shall be effective whether
or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Loan Party, its directors,
shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any other Indemnified
Party is otherwise a party thereto.
(c) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the
right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Loan Parties without cost or charge to
the Administrative Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of
the Loan Parties for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for
sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In
addition, the Administrative Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises
and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such
Collateral.
(d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Security Agreement, any other Loan
Document, any Hedging Agreement or as provided by law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or
option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against
whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in
the case of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall only be granted as provided herein. To
the extent permitted by law, neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, nor any party acting as
attorney for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or
omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence
or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or
remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have.
(e) Retention of Collateral. The Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices
required by Section 9-620 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law
of the relevant jurisdiction, to the extent the Administrative Agent is in possession of any of the
Collateral, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not
be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any
reason.
(f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization
are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are legally
entitled (subject to Section 26 hereof), the Loan Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for
the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the default rate specified in the Credit
Agreement for Revolving Loans, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees of any
attorneys
-14 -
employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Any surplus remaining
after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to (or at the
direction of) the Borrowers, or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to
be entitled thereto.
10. Rights of the Administrative Agent.
(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each
Loan Party hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, and
each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Loan Party, irrevocably and with power
of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and releases, all

(ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting
any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;
(iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied
or placed on or threatened against the Collateral of such Loan Party;
(iv) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, verifications, notices and other

(v) to defend, settle or compromise any suit, action or proceeding brought and, in
connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Administrative Agent may deem
reasonably appropriate;
(vi) to direct any parties liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make

Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct;
(vii) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to a Loan Party and endorse checks,
notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other
Instruments or Documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to
the Collateral of such Loan Party on behalf of and in the name of such Loan Party, or
securing, or relating to such Collateral;
(viii) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with
or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services which have given
rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes;
(ix) adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;
(x) execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements,
renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements,
instruments and. documents, that the Administrative Agent may determine necessary in order to
perfect and maintain the security interests and liens
-15 -
granted in this Security Agreement and
in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;
(xi) institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem
appropriate; and
(xii) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable (i) for so long
as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding, any Loan Document or any Bank Product
Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of any Lender is in effect or any Loan
or Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and (ii) until all of the Commitments shall have been
terminated. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of
any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the
Administrative Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so
or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or
for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity
as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful
misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect,
preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.
(b) Grant of License, For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise
rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of
Section 9 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble,
prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as the
Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, Loan Parties
hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to Loan Parties) to use, license or sublicense any Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents and
other related Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by Loan Parties, and wherever the same may
be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items
may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or
printout thereof.
(c) Performance by the Administrative Agent of Obligations. If any Loan Party fails to
perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Administrative Agent itself may perform,
or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Loan Parties on a joint and several basis
pursuant to Section 26 hereof.
(d) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to
time and in accordance with the Credit Agreement assign the Secured Obligations and any portion
thereof and/or the Collateral and any portion thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of
the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement in relation
thereto.
(e) The
Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable
care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining
-16 -
thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Loan Parties shall be responsible for preservation
of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all
responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Loan
Parties. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be
no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent Administrative Agent in the
industry, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for
taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the
Collateral.
11. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the
Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in cash or its
equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the
Credit Agreement, and each Loan Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of
such payments and proceeds and
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Administrative Agent’s
sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.
12. [Reserved].
13. Continuing Agreement.
(a) This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall
remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding
or any Loan Document or Bank Product Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender or
Affiliate of any Lender is in effect or any Loan or Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding, and until all of the Commitments thereunder shall have terminated (other than
any obligations with respect to the indemnities and the representations and warranties set
forth in the Loan Documents). Upon such payment and termination, this Security Agreement
shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, upon
the request and at the expense of the Loan Parties, forthwith release all of their liens and
security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements
and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Loan Parties evidencing such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing all releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive
termination of this Security Agreement.
(b) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the
Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not been made;
provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded
or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without
limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as
a part of the Secured Obligations.

hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth
in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
-17 -
15. Successors in Interest. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security
interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Loan Party, its successors and assigns
and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

permitted assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign its
rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender or the
Required Lenders, as required by the Credit Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Loan Party hereby releases the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity or its capacity as
attorney-in-fact, and each Lender in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact,
and their respective successors and assigns, from any liability for any act or omission relating to
this Security Agreement or the Collateral, except for any liability arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, or such Lender, or its officers,
employees or agents.
16. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Security
Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.
17. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of

hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising
out of or in connection with this Security Agreement brought in the courts referred to in

brought in an inconvenient forum.
20. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE

Documents, the Bank Product Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of any
Lender or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

the Credit Agreement.
24. Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or
hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including, without limitation, real
property and securities owned by a Loan Party), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any
other Person, then the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to proceed against
such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders have the right, in their sole discretion, to determine which
rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in
any way modifying or affecting any of them or any of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, DELEK REFINING, LTD., a Texas limited partnership
(“Delek Refining”), and DELEK PIPELINE TEXAS, INC., a Texas corporation (“Delek Pipeline”;
hereinafter, together with their respective successors and assigns, individually referred to as a
“Borrower” and collectively referred to as the “Borrowers”), hereby promises to pay to the order of
SUNTRUST BANK, as swingline lender (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, called
the “Swingline Lender”), at the office of the Administrative Agent (as defined below), in
immediately available funds, the principal sum of THIRTY MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($30,000,000)
of United States funds, or, if less, so much thereof as may from time to time be advanced as
Swingline Loans by the Swingline Lender to the Borrowers hereunder, plus interest as hereinafter
provided. Such advances of Swingline Loans may be endorsed from time to time on the grid attached
hereto, but the failure to make such notations shall not affect the validity of any Borrower’s
obligation to repay unpaid principal and interest hereunder.

Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”) of even date herewith among the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto

collateral agent (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the
“Collateral Agent”) for itself and the Lenders. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement except to the extent such capitalized terms
are otherwise defined or limited herein.
All principal amounts and other Obligations then outstanding hereunder shall be due and
payable in full on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, or such earlier date the Swingline
Loans shall be due and payable in full, whether by acceleration or otherwise pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. The Borrowers also shall repay principal outstanding hereunder from time to time as
provided in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers shall be entitled to borrow, re-pay and re-borrow
funds hereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Prepayment of the
principal amount of any Swingline Loan may be made only as provided in the Credit Agreement.
Each Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof as
provided in Article II of the Credit Agreement. Interest under this Note also shall be due and
payable when this Note shall become due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or
Amended and Restated Swingline Note
otherwise). The Obligations shall bear Default. Interest payable at the rate, in the manner and at
the times provided in the Credit Agreement.
In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of
interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by any
Borrower or inadvertently received by the Swingline Lender, then such excess sum shall be allocated
in accordance with Section 10.12 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent lawful, and any
sums that cannot lawfully be allocated in accordance therewith shall be credited as a payment of
principal, unless such Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender in writing that it elects to have
such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay, and
the Swingline Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in
excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrowers under applicable law.
All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether a Borrower, any
guarantor, endorser or any other Person, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of
non-payment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest and notice of any other kind whatsoever.
No delay or omission on the part of the Swingline Lender or any holder hereof in exercising
its rights under this Note, or delay or omission on the part of the Swingline Lender, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Required Lenders or the Lenders
collectively, or any of them, in exercising its or their rights under the Credit Agreement or under
any other Loan Document, or course of conduct relating thereto, shall operate as a waiver of such
rights or any other right of the Swingline Lender or any holder hereof nor shall any waiver by the
Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Required
Lenders or the Lenders collectively, or any of them, or any holder hereof, of
any such right or rights on any one occasion be deemed a bar to, or waiver of, the same right
or rights on any future occasion.
Each Borrower hereby promises to pay all costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees,
should this Note be collected by or through an attorney-at-law or under advice therefrom.
Time is of the essence in this Note.
This Note evidences the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans under, and is entitled to the
benefits and subject to the terms of, the Credit Agreement, which contains provisions with respect
to the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events, and
provisions for prepayment and repayment. This Note is secured by and is also entitled to the
benefits of the Loan Documents to the extent provided therein and any other agreement or instrument
providing collateral for the Loans, whether now or hereafter in existence, and any filings,
instruments, agreements and documents related thereto and providing collateral for the Loans.
This Amended and Restated Swingline Note is delivered in exchange and substitution for, but
not in extinguishment or as a novation of the Indebtedness outstanding under, the Swingline Note
dated April 29, 2005, made by the Borrower to the order of the Swingline Lender in the original
principal amount of $20,000,000.
Amended and Restated Swingline Note
This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
Georgia without regard to the choice or conflict of law principles thereof.

Pledgor has the right to vote, pledge and grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer the
Pledged Collateral without the consent of any other party and free of any Liens other than
Permitted Liens and applicable restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority and without any
restriction under the Organic Documents of such Pledgor or any Company or any agreement among such
Pledgor’s or any Company’s shareholders, members or partners; (f) this Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the extent that the.
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general
application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights; (g) the execution, delivery and
performance by such Pledgor of this Agreement and the exercise by Administrative Agent of its
rights and remedies hereunder do not and will not result in the violation of the Organic Documents
of such Pledgor, any agreement, indenture, instrument or applicable law by which such Pledgor or
any Company is bound or to which such Pledgor or any Company is subject (except such Pledgor makes
no representation or warranty about Administrative Agent’s prospective compliance with any federal
or state laws or regulations governing the sale or exchange of securities); (h) no consent, filing,
approval, registration or recording is required (x) for the pledge by such Pledgor of the Pledged

therewith, none of the Pledged Collateral is evidenced by a certificate or other writing.
-4 -
6. Affirmative Covenants of Pledgors. Until this Agreement has been terminated

own expense Administrative Agent’s right, title, and security interest in and to the Pledged
Collateral against the claims of any Person; (b) promptly deliver to Administrative Agent all
written notices with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and will promptly give written notice to
Administrative Agent of any other notices received by such Pledgor with respect to the Pledged
Collateral; and (c) deliver to Administrative Agent promptly to hold under this Agreement any
Equity Interests of the Companies subsequently acquired by such Pledgor, whether acquired by such
Pledgor by virtue of the exercise of any options included within the Pledged Collateral or
otherwise (which Equity Interests shall be deemed to be a part of the Pledged Collateral); (d) if
any of the Pledged Collateral constituting membership interests in a limited liability company or
partnership interests in a partnership is hereafter designated by the relevant Company as a
“security” under (and as defined in) Article 8 of the UCC, cause such Pledged Collateral to be
certificated; (e) if at any time hereafter any of the Pledged Collateral which is not currently
certificated becomes certificated, deliver all certificates or other documents evidencing or
representing the Pledged Collateral to Administrative Agent, accompanied by Powers, all in form and
substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
7. Negative Covenants of Pledgors. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been
satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement has been terminated, each Pledgor covenants that it will
not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, (a) sell, convey or otherwise

consolidation of any Company with or into any corporation or other entity other than as permitted

of a security entitlement or credited to any securities account; (f) designate, or cause any
Company to designate, any of the Pledged Collateral constituting membership interests in a limited
liability company or partnership interests in a partnership as a “security” under Article 8 of the
UCC; or (g) evidence, or permit any Company to evidence, any of the Pledged Collateral which is not
currently certificated, with any certificates, instruments or other writings, unless the relevant
Company has complied with the provisions of Section 6(e) of this Agreement.
8. Irrevocable Authorization and Instruction to Companies. To the extent that any
portion of the Pledged Collateral may now or hereafter consist of uncertificated securities within
the meaning of Section 8 of the UCC, each Pledgor irrevocably authorizes and instructs each Company
to comply with any instruction received by such Company from Administrative Agent with respect to
such Pledged Collateral without any other or further instructions from or consent of any Pledgor,
and each Pledgor agrees that such Company shall be fully protected in so complying;
provided, however, that Administrative Agent agrees that it will not issue or
deliver any such instructions to any Company except upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default.
-5 -
9. Subsequent Changes Affecting Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor represents to
Administrative Agent that such Pledgor has made its own arrangements for keeping informed of
changes or potential changes affecting the Pledged Collateral (including rights to convert, rights
to subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and
voting rights), and each Pledgor agrees that Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility
or liability for informing any Pledgor of any such changes or potential changes or for taking any
action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto
10. Equity Interest Adjustments. If during the term of this Agreement any
dividend, reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or made in the capital
structure of the Companies, or any option included within the Pledged Collateral is exercised,
or both, all new, substituted and additional Equity Interests, or other securities, issued by
reason of any such change or exercise shall, if received by any Pledgor, be held in trust for
Administrative Agent’s benefit and shall be promptly delivered to and held by Administrative Agent under the
terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Pledged Collateral originally pledged
hereunder.
11. Warrants, Options and Rights. If during the term of this Agreement
subscription warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued or exercised in
connection with the Pledged Collateral, then such warrants, rights and options shall be immediately
assigned by Pledgors to Administrative Agent and all certificates evidencing new Equity Interests or
other securities so acquired by any Pledgor shall be immediately delivered to and held by
Administrative Agent to be held under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the
Pledged Collateral originally pledged hereunder.
12. Registration. If Administrative Agent determines that it is required to register
under or otherwise comply in any way with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to
time (the, “Securities Act”) or any similar federal or state law, with respect to the
securities included in the Pledged Collateral prior to sale thereof by Administrative Agent, then upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Pledgors will use their best
efforts to cause any such registration to be effectively made, at no expense to Administrative
Agent, and to continue such registration effective for such time as may be necessary in the
reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent, and will reimburse Administrative Agent for any
expense incurred by Administrative Agent, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and accountants’
fees and expenses, in connection therewith.
13. Consent. Each Pledgor hereby consents that from time to time, before or after the
occurrence or existence of any Default or Event of Default, with or without notice to or
assent from such Pledgor, any other security at any time held by or available to Administrative Agent
for any of the Secured Obligations may be exchanged, surrendered, or released, and any of the
Secured Obligations may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered,
compromised, waived or released, in whole or in part, as Administrative Agent may see fit, and
each Pledgor shall remain bound under this Agreement and, if applicable, under the other Loan
Documents notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, alteration, renewal,
-6 -
extension, continuance, compromise, waiver or inaction, extension of further credit or other
dealing.
14. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default, (i) Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to any other rights given by law
or the rights given hereunder or under each of the other Loan Documents, all of the rights and
remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the UCC and (ii)
Administrative Agent may cause all or any part of the Equity Interests held by it to be transferred
into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees. In addition, upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may sell or cause the Pledged
Collateral, or any part thereof, which shall then be or shall thereafter come into Administrative
Agent’s possession or custody, to be sold at any broker’s board or at public or private sale, in
one or more sales or lots, at such price as Administrative Agent may deem best, and for cash or on
credit or for future delivery, and the purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Collateral so sold
shall thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind
whatsoever of any Pledgor or arising through any Pledgor. If any of the Pledged Collateral is sold
by Administrative Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for the failure of the purchaser to pay the same and in such event Administrative Agent may
resell such Pledged Collateral. Unless the Pledged Collateral threatens to decline speedily in
value or is or becomes of a type sold on a recognized market, Administrative Agent will give
Pledgors reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof, or of the time after
which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made. Any sale of the Pledged
Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance
companies or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Pledged Collateral
shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Any requirements of reasonable notice shall be met
if such notice is mailed to Pledgors, as provided in Section 22 below, at least ten (10) days
before the time of the sale or disposition. Any other requirement of notice, demand or
advertisement for sale is, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived. Administrative Agent
may, in its own name, or in the name of a designee or nominee, buy at any public sale of the Pledged Collateral and, if permitted
by applicable law, buy at any private sale thereof. Each Pledgor will pay to Administrative Agent
on demand all expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of, or
incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof and all other charges due against the
Pledged Collateral, including taxes, assessments or Liens upon the Pledged Collateral and any
expenses, including transfer or other taxes, arising in connection with any sale, transfer or other
disposition of Pledged Collateral. In connection with any sale of Pledged Collateral by
Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall have the right to execute any document or form, in
its name or in the name of any Pledgor, which may be necessary or desirable in connection with such
sale, including Form 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In view of the fact
that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a
sale of the Pledged Collateral may be effected, each Pledgor agrees that Administrative Agent may,
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, attempt to sell all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidders and
prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are accredited investors
-7 -
(as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) purchasing for investment only
and not for distribution. Each Pledgor agrees that any such private sales may be at prices and
other terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales
shall not by reason thereof be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral
for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act even if the issuer would agree to do so.
Administrative Agent shall apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other
disposition to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the
like, to reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all legal expenses, travel and other expenses which may be
incurred by Administrative Agent in attempting to collect the Secured Obligations or to enforce
this Agreement or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding related to the subject
matter of this Agreement; and then to the Secured Obligations in the manner authorized by the
Credit Agreement.
15. Redemption; Marshaling. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law any right of equity of redemption with respect to the Pledged
Collateral before or after a sale conducted pursuant to Section 14 hereof. Each Pledgor agrees that
Administrative Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future security (including
this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder) for, or guaranties of, the Secured
Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order;
and all of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of such security and guaranties
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the
fullest extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law
relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of
Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of
the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which
any of the Secured Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and to the fullest extent that it lawfully
may, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
16. Term. This Agreement shall become effective only when accepted by Administrative
Agent and, when so accepted, shall constitute a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force
and effect until the Credit Agreement is terminated and all of the Secured Obligations have been
fully and finally paid, satisfied and discharged, at which time this Agreement shall terminate and
Administrative Agent shall deliver to Pledgors, at Pledgors’ expense, (i) such of the Pledged
Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement and (ii)
such termination statements and other release documents as may be requested by Pledgors to evidence
the termination of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any termination of this Agreement terminate any
indemnity set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all of which indemnities
shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any of other Loan Documents in accordance with
their respective terms.
-8 -

successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and its successors
and permitted assigns.

invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Georgia.
20. Cooperation and Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that it will cooperate
with Administrative Agent and will, upon Administrative Agent’s request, execute and deliver, or
cause to be executed and delivered, all such other powers, instruments’, financing statements,
certificates and other documents, and will take all such other action as Administrative Agent may
request from time to time, in order to carry out the provisions and purposes hereof, including
delivering to Administrative Agent, if requested by Administrative Agent, irrevocable proxies with
respect to the Equity Interests in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent (subject to such
Pledgor’s voting rights under Section 3 hereof). Until receipt thereof, this Agreement shall
constitute each Pledgor’s proxy to Administrative Agent or its nominee to vote all shares of the
Equity Interests then registered in such Pledgor’s name (subject to such Pledgor’s voting rights
under Section 3 hereof).
21. Administrative Agent’s Exoneration. Under no circumstances shall Administrative
Agent be deemed to assume any responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to any part or
all of the Pledged Collateral of any nature or kind, other than the physical custody thereof, or
any matter or proceedings arising out of or relating thereto. Administrative Agent shall not be
required to take any action of any kind to collect, preserve or protect its or any Pledgor’s rights
in the Pledged Collateral or against other parties thereto. Administrative Agent’s
-9 -
prior recourse to any part or all of the Pledged Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Secured Obligations.
22. Notices. All notices, requests and demand to or upon any party hereto shall be given in the manner and become effective as stipulated in
the Guaranty Agreement to which the applicable Pledgor is a party
23.
Pledgor’s Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of Pledgors hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Pledgor, (b) any exercise or nonexercise, or any waiver, by Administrative Agent of any right, remedy, power
or privilege under or in respect of any of the Secured Obligations or
any security thereof (including this Agreement); (c) any
amendment to or modification of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or any of the Secured Obligations; (d) any amendment or modification of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations; or (e) the taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of
the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or
termination of any security or guaranty for any of the Secured
Obligations, whether or not any Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
24. No
Waiver, Etc. No act, failure or delay by Administrative Agent
shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by Administrative Agent of any Default or Event of Default or right or remedy which, Administrative Agent may have shall operate as a
waiver of any other Default, Event of Default, right or remedy or of the same Default, Event of
Default, right or remedy on a future occasion. Each Pledgor hereby
waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or the Pledged Collateral, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein).
25. Section Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect in any way the
interpretation of any of the provisions hereof
26. Administrative
Agent Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and
taking any action and executing any instrument which Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof,
which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the power to arrange for the transfer in connection with its exercise of remedies under
Section 14 hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, of any of the Pledged Collateral on the books of any or all of Companies to the name of Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s nominee. Each
Pledgor agrees
to indemnify
and save Administrative Agent harmless from and against any liability or damage which Administrative Agent may suffer or incur, in the exercise or performance of any of Administrative Agent’s powers and duties
-10 -
specifically set forth herein, except for any liability or damage resulting from Administrative
Agent’s actual gross negligence or willful misconduct.
27. Use of Loan Proceeds. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to
Administrative Agent that none of the loan proceeds heretofore and hereafter received by it under
the Credit Agreement are for the purpose of purchasing any “margin security” as that term is
defined in either Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
or refinancing any indebtedness originally incurred to purchase any such “margin security.”
28. Waiver of Subrogation and Other Claims. Each Pledgor recognizes that
Administrative Agent, in exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral,
may likely be unable to find one or more purchasers thereof if, after the sale of the Pledged
Collateral, a Company were, because of any claim based on subrogation or any other theory, liable
to any Pledgor on account of the sale by Administrative Agent of the Pledged Collateral in full or
partial satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or liable to any Pledgor on account of any
indebtedness owing to any Pledgor that is subordinated to any or all of the Secured Obligations.
Each Pledgor hereby agrees, therefore, that if, in accordance with applicable law, Administrative
Agent sells any of the Pledged Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Secured
Obligations, such Pledgor shall in such case have no right or claim against any Company on account of any such subordinated
indebtedness on the theory that such Pledgor has become subrogated to any claim or right of
Administrative Agent against such Company or on any basis whatsoever, and each Pledgor hereby
expressly waives and relinquishes all such rights and claims against Companies.
29. WAIVERS. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES: NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ACCEPTANCE
OF THIS AGREEMENT; NOTICE OF EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT, LOANS, ADVANCES OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS TO BORROWERS; TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS ALSO WAIVE) IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL; PRESENTMENT AND DEMAND
FOR PAYMENT OF ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS; PROTEST AND NOTICE OF DISHONOR OR DEFAULT WITH
RESPECT TO ANY OF THE
[Remainder of page intentionally left blank]
-11 -
SECURED OBLIGATIONS; AND ALL OTHER NOTICES TO WHICH SUCH PLEDGOR MIGHT OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED
EXCEPT AS HEREIN OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Pledgor has signed, sealed and delivered this Agreement on the day
and year first above written.

pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement);

accrued from the Assignment Date, (a) all interest, principal, fees and other amounts that would
otherwise be payable to the Assignor in respect of the Assigned Loans and the Assigned
Commitments shall be paid to the Assignee, and (b) if the Assignor receives any payment on account
of the Assigned Loans or the Assigned Commitments, the Assignor shall promptly deliver such payment
to the Assignee. The Assignee agrees to deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent such Internal
Revenue Service forms as may be required to establish that the Assignee is entitled to receive
payments under the Credit Agreement without deduction or withholding of tax. The Assignee agrees
that, from and after the Assignment Date, to abide, and be bound by, the Credit Agreement
including, without limitation, Article 9 thereof.
6. Independent Investigation. The Assignee acknowledges that it is purchasing the
Assigned Loans and the Assigned Commitments from the Assignor totally without recourse and, except
as provided in Section 3 hereof, without representation or warranty. The Assignee further
acknowledges that it has made its own independent investigation and credit evaluation of the
Borrowers in connection with its purchase of the Assigned Loans and the Assigned Commitments.
Except for the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3, the Assignee
acknowledges that it is not relying on any representation or warranty of the Assignor,
expressed or implied, including without limitation, any representation or warranty relating to the
legality, validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, interest rate, repayment schedule
or accrual status of the Assigned Loans or the Assigned Commitments, the legality, validity,
genuineness or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the related Notes, or any other Loan
Document referred to in or delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement, or financial condition or
creditworthiness of any Borrower. The Assignor has not and will not be acting as either the
representative, agent or trustee of the Assignee with respect to matters arising out of or relating
to the Credit Agreement or this Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, the Assignor shall
have no rights or obligations with respect to the Assigned Loans or the Assigned Commitments.

funds available at the place of payment on the same day and shall be made by wire transfer to the
account designated by the party to receive payment.

between the parties (other than the Credit Agreement) as to the subject matter hereof.

which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon both parties, their successors
and assigns.

(as the same may hereafter be modified, amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders and the Issuing Banks have agreed to extend
credit to the Borrowers from time to time and the Borrowers have agreed to grant a security
interest in all of their assets to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (as

WHEREAS, the Guarantors collectively own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and

benefits as a result of-the extensions of credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement;
and
WHEREAS, the Lenders have required that the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty to

WHEREAS, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are secured by security interests granted
to the Administrative Agent by the Guarantor pursuant to the Security Agreement and by the other

parties;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the recitals made above, Ten Dollars ($10.00) in
hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors hereby agree that capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement, and further agree as follows:
1. The Guarantors hereby guarantee, to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of itself, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (collectively, the “Lender Parties”), the full and
prompt payment of the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and every other Loan
Document, including any interest thereon, plus actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
if the obligations represented by this Guaranty are collected by law, through an attorney-at-law, or
under advice therefrom.
2. Regardless of whether any proposed guarantor or any other Person shall become in any other
way responsible to the Lender Parties, or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any
part thereof, and regardless of whether or not any Person now or hereafter responsible to the
Lender Parties, or any of them, for the Obligations or any part thereof, whether under this
Guaranty or otherwise, shall cease to be so liable, each Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that
this Guaranty shall be a joint and several obligation, shall be a continuing guaranty and shall be
operative and binding until payment in full of the Obligations (except for reimbursement or
indemnification obligations not then due and payable, and Letter of Credit Obligations that have
been cash collateralized in the manner provided for in Section 2.23(g) of the Credit Agreement or
backed up by a letter of credit acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion) and the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the LC Commitment.
3. Upon this Guaranty’s being executed and coming into the hands of the Administrative Agent,
this Guaranty shall be deemed to be finally executed and delivered by the Guarantors and shall not
be subject to or affected by any promise or condition affecting or limiting any Guarantor’s
liability, except as stated in the Credit Agreement, and no statement, representation, agreement
or promise on the part of the Lender Parties, the Borrowers, or any of them, or any officer,
employee or agent thereof, unless contained herein, forms any part of this Guaranty or has induced
the making thereof or shall be deemed in any way to affect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder.
Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any
defense, set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this
Guaranty or the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other
Person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrowers) relating to this Guaranty or the
obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in
any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent hereof to collect the Obligations or
any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.
4. The Lender Parties or any of them, may from time to time, without exonerating or releasing
the Guarantors in any way under this Guaranty, (i) take such further or other security or
securities for the Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, or (ii) release,
discharge, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any Guarantor of the Obligations or
any security or securities therefor or any part thereof now or hereafter held by the Lender
Parties, or (iii) amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions,
terms, or conditions of the Loan Documents, all as they may consider expedient or appropriate in
their sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of Section 5 hereof, it
is understood that the Lender Parties, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing any
Guarantor, give up, or modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for
the Obligations and accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any security
for the Obligations when, and in such manner, and with or without notice, all as they may deem
expedient.
5. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of the
Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing,
related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), shall discharge all or any
part of the liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; it being the
purpose and intent of the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent that the covenants, agreements
and all liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Guarantor agrees that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Guaranty is
fully performed, and without possibility of recourse, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
such Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action
or thing which might, but for this paragraph of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable
discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Parties, or
any of them, or its or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the
Lender Parties, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases
the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any further
dealings between any Borrower on the one hand and any Lender Party, on the other hand or any other
guarantor or surety, and such Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its
liability hereunder, or any right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or description which it
may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing
acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers.
6. The Lender Parties may, without demand or notice of any kind upon or to the Guarantors, at
any time or from time to time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by any Guarantor,
if the Borrowers shall not have timely paid any of the Obligations, set-off and appropriate and
apply to any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed, and in such order of application as the
Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties may from time to time elect in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, any deposits, property, balances, credit accounts or moneys of any Guarantor in
the possession of any Lender Party, or under their respective control for any purpose.
7. The creation or existence from time to time of Obligations in excess of the amount
committed to or outstanding on the date of this Guaranty is hereby authorized, without notice to
the Guarantors, and shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty or the rights of the
Administrative Agent herein.
8. Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of any Borrower or of any
surety or guarantor for any Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Parties, the rights of the
Administrative Agent against any Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of any
Lender Party to prove its claim, or to prove the full claim, as appropriate, (except as it relates
to such Guarantor) and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims as it sees fit and may
refrain from proving any claim and in its discretion may value as it sees fit or refrain from
valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing or otherwise affecting the
liability to the Administrative Agent of each of the Guarantors.
9. Any amount received by the Administrative Agent from whatsoever source and applied toward
the payment of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement.
10. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably expressly waives,
except to the extent such waiver would be expressly prohibited by applicable law, the following:
(a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of
the Obligations, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices
whatsoever, (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Obligations or
any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing, e) all rights
to enforce any remedy which the Lender Parties, or any of them, may have against the Borrowers, and
(f) until payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Commitments
and the LC Commitment, all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement
from the Borrowers and any benefit of, or right to participate in, any collateral or security now
or hereinafter held by the Lender Parties, or any of them, in respect of the Obligations. If a
claim is ever made upon any Lender Party for the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts
received by such Person in payment of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of
such amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of
any such claim effected by such Person with any such claimant, including a Borrower, then in such
event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall
be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any
promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and each Guarantor shall be
and remain obligated to such Person hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same
extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person.
11. The Lender Parties may, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, sell, assign
or transfer all or any part of the Obligations, and in such event each and every permitted
assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any of the Obligations, shall have the right to enforce
this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such permitted assignee, transferee or
holder as fully as if such assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given
such rights, powers and benefits.
12. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Obligations and all liabilities to which it
applies or may apply under the terms hereof and shall be conclusively presumed to have been created
in reliance hereon. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right,
power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by
the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or remedy and no course of dealing between any Guarantor and any
Lender Party shall operate as a waiver thereof. No action by the Administrative Agent permitted
hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the
Obligations shall include, without limitation, all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender
Parties, notwithstanding any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of any
Borrower, the Lender Parties, or any of them, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity
or unenforceability of any such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
13. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns
and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lender Parties. No Guarantor may
assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent. No alteration or waiver of this Guaranty or of any of its terms, provisions
or conditions shall be binding upon the parties against whom enforcement is sought unless made in
writing and signed by an authorized officer of such party.
14. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. In the event the Administrative Agent
makes a demand upon any Guarantor under this Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be held and bound to
the Administrative Agent directly as debtor in respect of the payment of the amounts hereby
guaranteed. All costs and expenses, including actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
incurred by the Administrative Agent in obtaining performance of or collecting payments due under
this Guaranty to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed part of the
Obligations guaranteed hereby. Any notice or demand which the Administrative Agent may wish to give
shall be served upon any Guarantor in the fashion prescribed for notices in the Credit Agreement at the address for such Guarantor given on
Exhibit A attached hereto and the notice so sent shall be deemed to be served as set forth in the Credit
Agreement.
15. Each Guarantor expressly represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by
the Lender Parties to the Borrowers, including, without limitation, the extension of credit, are
and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor.
16. [Reserved.]
17. FOR PURPOSES OF ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE
LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL
JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. THE CONSENT TO
JURISDICTION HEREIN SHALL NOT BE EXCLUSIVE. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
IT WOULD MAKE NOW OR HEREAFTER FOR THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
SITTING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR
PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
18. EACH GUARANTOR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW WAIVES, AND OTHERWISE AGREES NOT
TO REQUEST, A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT AND IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY TYPE
IN WHICH ANY GUARANTOR, ANY OF THE LENDERS, THE ISSUING BANKS, THE AGENTS, OR ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS IS A PARTY, AS TO ALL MATTERS AND THINGS ARISING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS GUARANTY.
19. This Guaranty shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Georgia applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within the State of
Georgia without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof.
20. [Reserved.]
21. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or
power exercisable by the “Administrative Agent” shall be a reference to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and each action taken or right exercised hereunder
shall be deemed to have been so taken or exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Lender Parties.
22. Upon payment in full of all principal and interest on the Obligations,
termination of the Commitments and the LC Commitment and satisfaction in full of all other
Obligations outstanding (other than contingent liabilities not yet due), this Guaranty shall
terminate and the Administrative Agent shall take all action reasonably requested by the Guarantors (at
the expense of the Borrowers or the Guarantors) to evidence the termination of this Guaranty.
23. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart hereof by facsimile transmission shall
be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
[Remainder of page intentionally left blank]
24. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any notices to it may be made to such Guarantor at
its address set forth on Exhibit A hereto in the manner set forth in Section 10.1 of the
Credit Agreement.

Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor is an affiliate of the Borrowers and will realize substantial direct
and indirect benefits as a result of the extensions of credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the
Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Lenders have required that the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty to

used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement, and
further agrees as follows:

(collectively, the “Lender Parties”), the full and prompt payment of the Obligations pursuant to
the Credit Agreement and every other Loan Document, including any interest thereon, plus actual and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses if the obligations represented by this Guaranty are
collected by law, through an attorney-at-law, or under advice therefrom.
2. Regardless of whether any proposed guarantor or any other Person shall become in any other
way responsible to the Lender Parties, or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any
part thereof, and regardless of whether or not any Person now or hereafter responsible to the
Lender Parties, or any of them, for the Obligations or any part thereof, whether under this
Guaranty or otherwise, shall cease to be so liable, each Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that
this Guaranty shall be a joint and several obligation, shall be a continuing guaranty and shall be
operative and binding until payment in full of the Obligations (except for reimbursement or
indemnification obligations not then due and payable, and Letter of Credit Obligations that have
been cash collateralized in the manner provided for in Section 2.23(g) of the Credit Agreement or
backed up by a letter of credit acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion) and the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the LC Commitment.
3. Upon this Guaranty’s being executed and coming into the hands of the Administrative Agent,
this Guaranty shall be deemed to be finally executed and delivered by the Guarantors and shall not
be subject to or affected by any promise or condition affecting or limiting any Guarantor’s
liability, except as stated in the Credit Agreement, and no statement, representation, agreement or
promise on the part of the Lender Parties, the Borrowers, or any of them, or any officer, employee
or agent thereof, unless contained herein, forms any part of this
Guaranty or has induced the making thereof or shall be deemed in any way to affect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Each
Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any
defense, set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this
Guaranty or the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other
Person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrowers) relating to this Guaranty or the
obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in
any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent hereof to collect the Obligations or
any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.
4. The Lender Parties or any of them, may from time to time, without exonerating or releasing
any Guarantor in any way under this Guaranty, (i) take such further or other security or securities
for the Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, or (ii) release, discharge, abandon or
otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any Guarantor of the Obligations or any security or
securities therefore or any part thereof now or hereafter held by the Lender Parties, or (iii)
amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions, terms, or
conditions of the Loan Documents, all as they may consider expedient or appropriate in their sole
discretion.
2
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of Section 5 hereof, it is understood that the
Lender Parties, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing
any Guarantor, give up, or
modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for the Obligations and
accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any security for the Obligations
when, and in such manner, and with or without notice, all as they may deem expedient.
5. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of the
Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing,
related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), shall discharge all or any
part of the liabilities
and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent
of such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent that the covenants, agreements and all liabilities
and obligations of such Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any
and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that
until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Guaranty is fully performed, and
without possibility of recourse, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Guarantor’s
undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which
might, but for this paragraph of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a
surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Parties, or any of them, or
its or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted
by the Lender Parties, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or
increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any
further dealings between any Borrower on the one hand and any Lender Party, on the other hand or
any other guarantor or surety, and such Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any
defense to its liability hereunder, or any right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or
description which it may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to,
any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers.
6. The Lender Parties may, without demand or notice of any kind upon or to any Guarantor, at
any time or from time to time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by any Guarantor,
if the Borrowers shall not have timely paid any of the Obligations, set-off and appropriate and
apply to any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed, and in such order of application as the
Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties may from time to time elect in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, any deposits, property, balances, credit accounts or moneys of any Guarantor in
the possession of any Lender Party, or under their respective control for any purpose.
7. The creation or existence from time to time of Obligations in excess of the amount
committed to or outstanding on the date of this Guaranty is hereby authorized, without notice to
any Guarantor, and shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty or the rights of the
Administrative Agent herein. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of each
Guarantor hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount. The “Maximum
Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Guarantor, shall mean the maximum amount which could be paid
by the Guarantor without rendering this Guaranty void or voidable as would otherwise be held or
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action or proceeding involving any state or
Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar
laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
3
8.
Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of any Borrower or of any
surety or guarantor for any Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Parties the rights of the
Administrative Agent against any Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the
omission of any Lender Party to prove its claim, or to prove the full claim, as appropriate,
(except as it relates to such Guarantor) and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims, as it
sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim and in its discretion may value as it sees fit or
refrain from valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing; or otherwise
affecting the liability to the Administrative Agent of each of the Guarantors.
9. Any amount received by the Administrative Agent from whatsoever source and applied toward
the payment of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement.
10. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably expressly waives, except
to the extent such waiver would be expressly prohibited by applicable law, the following: (a)

such rights, powers and benefits.
12. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Obligations and all liabilities to which it
applies or may apply under the terms hereof and shall be conclusively presumed to
4
have been created
in reliance hereon. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right,
power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by
the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or remedy and no course of dealing between any Guarantor and any
Lender Party shall operate as a waiver thereof. No action by the Administrative Agent permitted
hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the
Obligations shall include, without limitation, all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender
Parties, notwithstanding any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of any

or conditions shall be binding upon the parties against whom enforcement is sought unless made in

shall be deemed to be served as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
15. Each Guarantor expressly represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by
the Lender Parties to the Borrowers, including, without limitation, the extension of credit, are
and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor.
16. Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees to comply with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement that are applicable to Subsidiaries of the Borrowers as if such covenants and agreements

LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL
JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. THE CONSENT TO

WHICH ANY GUARANTOR, ANY OF THE LENDERS, THE ISSUING BANKS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE
COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS IS A PARTY, AS TO ALL MATTERS AND
THINGS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS GUARANTY.
19. This Guaranty shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Georgia applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within the State of
Georgia without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof.
20. The Guarantors hereby agree, among themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an
Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any
Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to
the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount sufficient to cause such Excess
Funding Guarantor’s payments to equal such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and
determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such
Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Obligations.
The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 20 shall
be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of
such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall
not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full
of all such obligations. For purposes of this Section 20, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor”
shall mean, in respect of any Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro
Rata Share of such Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” shall mean, in respect of any
Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such

as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all
properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the
amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder
and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the
amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of the Borrowers and all of the
Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrowers and the
Guarantors hereunder) of the Borrowers and all of the Guarantors, all as of the Closing Date.
21. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable
by the “Administrative Agent” shall be a reference to the Administrative Agent for the
6
benefit of the Lender Parties, and each action taken or right exercised hereunder shall be
deemed to have been so taken or exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender
Parties.
22. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart hereof by facsimile transmission shall be as effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
