BASIC TERMS

Note:	See Schedule I hereto for certain definitions of terms used in these Basic Terms.

Commitment Amount:	$15,000,000

Use of Proceeds:	The proceeds of the Advances hereunder shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that the Borrower shall use such proceeds or cause such proceeds to be used) solely for (a) the purchase of shares of common stock of US Xpress on the Effective Date and (b) general working capital purposes. The proceeds of the Advances may be used to purchase or carry margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) or to reduce or retire any indebtedness incurred for such purpose, provided, however, no proceeds of any Advance will be used to repay a loan made by an Affiliate of the Lender (other than Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bank, N.A.), and in respect thereof, the Borrower shall comply in all respects with Section 7.26 hereof.

Payments:	All payments to the Lender hereunder shall be made by (i) wire transfer to an account specified by the Lender, or (ii) ACH debit (as described below). The Borrower may authorize the Lender to initiate ACH debit entries to pay amounts due hereunder from an account to be specified by the Borrower in writing in accordance with requirements established by the Lender. After the Lender receives such authorization from the Borrower in the form determined by the Lender, the authorization shall remain in effect until the Lender receives from the Borrower written notice that such authorization is terminated, and both the Lender and the depository institution holding the account debited by the ACH have sufficient time to act on such notice.

Repayment:	The Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loan until paid in full. Interest shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears, it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall make such payment not later than (a) each applicable Interest Payment Date and (b) the Termination Date. Interest may be paid by the Borrower with the proceeds of an Advance made hereunder. It is further understood and agreed that to the extent that if any such day in which payment is required hereunder, is not a Business Day, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest in accordance with this

	Section on the first Business Day preceding such day on which interest would otherwise be due, and on the Termination Date and on such other date when the Revolving Loan shall be paid in full pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or at such other time as demanded by the Lender. The Borrower shall repay to the Lender on the Termination Date the entire then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan, together with all fees, costs and expenses and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Advances:	All Advances hereunder shall be made via ACH deposit to the Designated Account per instructions provided to the Lender by the Borrower. Alternatively, Advances hereunder may be made by wire transfer pursuant to written wire instructions provided by the Borrower to the Lender. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.02, 3.01 and 3.02 hereof, the Lender shall endeavor to fund requests for Advances received by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any Business Day on the same day the request is received.

Interest:	The Revolving Loan shall bear interest at a floating rate of interest equal to the LIBO Rate in effect from time to time plus the Margin, such rate to change when and as the LIBO Rate changes, payable in arrears monthly in accordance with the “Repayment” section of these Basic Terms. If for any reason the LIBO Rate shall cease to be available, interest on the Revolving Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Margin.

Optional Prepayments:	The Borrower may prepay all or any part of the Revolving Loan, without premium or penalty, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender, stating the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of such prepayment, together with accrued interest to the date such prepayment is made. If any optional prepayment is received by the Lender after 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) or on any day other than a Business Day, such prepayment shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.

Mandatory Prepayments:	If at any time the Revolving Loan exceeds the Commitment Amount, the Borrower shall immediately make a payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the Revolving Loan to an amount that is not greater than the Commitment Amount. Upon such prepayment by the Borrower, the Lender shall advise the Borrower of, and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender, accrued and unpaid interest at the interest rate set forth herein on the amount of such prepayment of the

	Revolving Loan to the date of such prepayment. Each prepayment made hereunder shall be applied by the Lender to repayment of the Revolving Loan in such order as the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall select. In addition, upon the sale, transfer or other disposition by any Loan Party of any of the common shares of US Xpress stock owned by such Loan Party, the proceeds thereof shall be immediately remitted to the Lender and applied to the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If any mandatory prepayment is received by the Lender after 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) or on any day other than a Business Day, such prepayment shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.

Collateral Maintenance:	With respect to Collateral held in the Securities Accounts, if at any time during the Secured Period the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loan exceeds the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate Market Value of each type of Collateral set forth in Column A of Exhibit A hereto by the corresponding percentage specified in Column C of Exhibit A hereto (a “Margin Shortfall”), then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days thereof, (i) make a payment to reduce the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loan, (ii) deposit additional Collateral of a type and nature acceptable to the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, into the Securities Accounts, or (iii) make a combination of the payments and deposits specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above, in an amount sufficient to ensure that the then outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan is equal to or less than the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate Market Value (calculated as of the close of business on the date of receipt of such payment or deposit) of each type of Collateral set forth in Column A of Exhibit A hereto times the corresponding percentage specified in Column B of Exhibit A hereto (the “Shortfall Cure Amount”). If the Borrower fails to cure the Margin Shortfall as set forth above within such five (5) Business Day period, the Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice or other action (notwithstanding any prior notice that may have been given in respect of such Margin Shortfall or anything else contained herein), to exercise any or all other remedies available to the Lender herein or any other Loan Document (including, the liquidation of the Collateral held in the Securities Accounts). If the Borrower makes a payment and/or deposit of additional Collateral in respect of, and in order to cure, the Margin Shortfall, the Lender shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, apply such payment or deposit of additional Collateral to either (a) reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Loan, or (b)

iii

increase the Market Value of the Collateral held in the Securities Accounts in an amount equal to or greater than the Shortfall Cure Amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the Secured Period the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loan exceeds the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate Market Value of each type of Collateral set forth in Column A of Exhibit A hereto times the corresponding percentage specified in Column D of Exhibit A hereto (a “Sell-Out Shortfall”), then the Borrower shall immediately (x) make a payment to reduce the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loan, (y) deposit additional Collateral of a type and nature acceptable to the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, into the Securities Accounts, or (z) make a combination of the payments and deposits specified in clauses (x) and (y) above, in an amount sufficient to ensure that then outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan is equal to or less than the Shortfall Cure Amount. If the Borrower fails to immediately make such payment and/or deposit in respect of the Shortfall Cure Amount, the Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice or other action (notwithstanding any prior notice given under the preceding paragraph or anything else contained herein), to exercise any or all other remedies available to the Lender herein or any other Loan Document (including the liquidation of the Collateral held in the Securities Accounts).

Only Collateral in the Securities Accounts of the specific types indicated in Column A of Exhibit A hereto, and having a per share value equal to or greater than that indicated in Column A of Exhibit A hereto for such type of Collateral, if any, shall be included by the Lender in determining the value of the Collateral in the Securities Accounts for purposes of ascertaining whether a Margin Shortfall or Sell-Out Shortfall has occurred from time to time or at any time. Additionally, if at any time (a) more than 25% of the aggregate Market Value of the Collateral in the Securities Accounts consists of securities issued by a single issuer of the type specified in rows (8)(a) or (9) of Appendix A in Exhibit A hereto, or row (2) of Appendix B in Exhibit A hereto, (b) the securities of any issuer (other than US Xpress) held in the Securities Accounts represent five percent (5%) or more of the total issued and outstanding shares of such issuer, or (c) the securities of US Xpress held in the Securities Accounts represent seven percent (7%) or more of the total issued and outstanding shares of US Xpress, in each case, all of such securities shall be excluded in ascertaining the existence of any Margin Shortfall or Sell-Out Shortfall, at such time.

Payments and Computations:	The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder in respect of interest on, principal of, or other amounts related to the Revolving Loan not later than 12:00 noon (Eastern Time) on the day when due in Dollars in same day funds, with payments being so received by the Lender after such time being deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (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 is payable. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

Late Charge:	If the Borrower fails to pay any interest or principal payment on the Revolving Loan within five (5) days after the same becomes due and payable hereunder, the Borrower shall, at the option of the Lender, pay to the Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment, payable on the sixth (6th) day after such payment becomes due and payable hereunder (the “Late Charge”).

Default Rate:	In addition to any applicable Late Charge, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the interest on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loan shall be increased, at the option of the Lender, to a rate equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) per annum above the rate of interest applicable hereunder or the Maximum Rate (the “Default Rate”).

Commitment Fee:	Commitment fee waived.

Other Fees:	The Borrower has paid all fees that are outlined in the Letter of Interest.

Unused Availability Fee:	The Borrower will pay to the Lender an unused availability fee equal to 0.35% per annum of the daily unused portion of the Commitment Amount, which fee shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month immediately following the end of each calendar quarter during the term hereunder and on the Termination Date.

Notices, Etc.:	All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (or any other method of communication authorized by the Lender) and sent by a reputable overnight courier or delivery service to

the Borrower at the Borrower’s address at XXX, Attention: Xxx Xxxxxx; or if to the Lender, at its address at Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Private Bank, National Association, c/o Morgan Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0XX, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Tailored Lending, Attention: Tailored Lending; or, as to the Borrower or the Lender at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party or, in the case of a change of the Borrower’s address, as may be requested by the Borrower in writing to the Lender or by any other means agreed to by the Lender. All such notices and communications shall, when sent by reputable overnight courier or delivery system, be effective on the Business Day following the day when the same is sent in such manner, except that notices and communications to the Lender pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until received by the Lender. Delivery by electronic means of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any schedule or exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

The foregoing Basic Terms are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of June 18, 2018, between XXXXXX FAMILY ENTERPRISES, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Borrower”), and XXXXXX XXXXXXX PRIVATE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Lender”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

(1) The Borrower has requested that the Lender extend to the Borrower a revolving line of credit for the benefit of the Borrower to be used solely for the purposes set forth under the “Use of Proceeds” section in the Basic Terms hereto.

(2)	The Lender has agreed to extend to the Borrower such revolving line of credit on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS, BASIC LOAN AND ACCOUNTING TERMS

Section 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the terms used herein shall have the meanings given thereto in the Basic Terms (as defined below) and in Schedule I hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Section 1.02 Basic Terms, Schedules and Exhibits. The Basic Terms above (the “Basic Terms”) and all exhibits and schedules referred to herein are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein in full.

Section 1.03 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP.

ARTICLE II

THE REVOLVING FACILITY

Section 2.01 The Revolving Facility. The Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in particular Section 2.02 and Section 2.03 hereof, to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Termination Date, in an aggregate amount of Advances outstanding not to exceed at any time the Available Borrowing Amount. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow Advances. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note in the maximum principal amount of the

Commitment Amount substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Note”). The Note shall evidence the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to repay the Lender for all Advances made under this Agreement, together with interest as provided herein as well as all other costs and expenses for which the Borrower may be obligated to pay under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,. Each Advance under this Agreement shall be deemed evidenced by the Note, which is deemed by this reference to be incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

Section 2.02 Making the Advances. Upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Article III hereof, an Advance under this Agreement may be made by the Lender to the Borrower as follows:

(a) The Lender or its Affiliates shall make an Advance by wire transfer or such other means agreed to by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion as follows:

(i) To request an Advance, the Borrower shall notify the Lender of such request in writing pursuant to written instructions not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date the Borrower desires such proposed Advance to be funded. Such written instructions shall specify therein (A) the requested date of such Advance, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the requested amount of such Advance, and (C) any other instructions which are required to enable the Lender to make the Advance by wire transfer. Provided that all conditions to the funding of the Advance shall have been fully satisfied, the Lender or its Affiliate shall, on such requested date, cause the proceeds of such Advance to be advanced for or on account of the Borrower by wire transfer to an account designated by, and pursuant to wire instructions provided by, the Borrower or in any other manner agreed to by the Lender.

(ii) Each Advance (other than Advances made pursuant to Section 2.02(c)) shall be in an amount greater than or equal to $100,000.00.

(b) The Borrower may request that an Advance be funded by wire transfer or such other means as offered by the Lender from time to time. For disbursements requested to be made by wire transfer, the Borrower’s request shall specify the deposit account to which proceeds of the applicable Advance are to be sent or deposited. The Lender may rely on account information provided by the Borrower in a wire transfer or other request without investigation and the Borrower bears the entire risk of wire or other transfers to the wrong account because of incorrect account information provided by the Borrower.

(c) If any accrued interest on the Revolving Loan, or any fee or other amount (other than principal on any Advance) payable hereunder shall not be paid by or on behalf of the Borrower as contemplated by the paragraph entitled “Payments and Computations” set forth in the Basic Terms section of this Agreement when such interest, fee or other amount becomes due and payable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the Lender make, and shall be deemed to have agreed to, an Advance hereunder on the due date of, and in the amount of, such interest, fee or other amount. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion on such date, make available to the Borrower, the amount of such Advance and cause the proceeds of such Advance to be applied to

the payment of such interest, fee or other amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lender, for any reason whatsoever, does not so exercise its right hereunder to make such Advance, the Late Charge shall nevertheless be incurred by the Borrower, together with the Default Rate and any other charges hereunder.

Section 2.03 Terms and Repayment. The Advances shall bear interest and be repaid in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Basic Terms.

Section 2.04 Taxes.

(a) General. Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with this Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by the United States, any State thereof or any foreign government or taxing authority (including any political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States, any State thereof, or any foreign government or taxing authority), to the extent such items are in the nature of taxes, and all liabilities with respect thereto (all such imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and liabilities with respect thereto being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”); provided, however, that Taxes shall not include Excluded Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document to the Lender, (i) the sum payable under this Agreement shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this provision) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and such amount paid to the relevant taxing authority (together with the amount paid to the Lender) shall be promptly credited toward the increased amount required to be paid under subclause (i) above.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition to the payment of Taxes as above, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes, or recording or filing charges or taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from payment under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, recording or filing of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, imposed by the United States, any State thereof or any foreign government or authority, (including any political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States, any State thereof or any foreign government or taxing authority) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”); provided, however, that Other Taxes shall not include any Excluded Taxes.

(c) Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify the Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes on amounts payable under this provision paid by the Lender and any liability, together with any penalties, interest and expenses resulting therefrom, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or collected by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Lender for penalties, interest or expenses arising out of the Lender’s failure to timely demand indemnification under this Section 2.04(c). This indemnification shall be made

within thirty (30) days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor, which demand shall set forth the amount paid, the basis therefor and the taxing authority paid.

(d) Evidence of Payment. Within ten (10) days after request from the Lender, the Borrower will furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

Section 2.05 Evidence of Debt. The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from the Advances hereunder from time to time, including the amounts of principal advanced and the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time under the Note. Entries made in good faith by the Lender in such account or accounts shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Lender under the Note and this Agreement, absent manifest error, provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under the Note and this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

(b) A certificate of the Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be deemed presumptively correct and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within thirty (30) days after their receipt of the same.

(c) Failure on the part of the Lender to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation with respect to such period or any other period.

Further, unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, terms defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (“N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code”) on the date hereof are used in this Agreement as such terms are defined in the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lender to enter into, and make any Advances under, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Grantor hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Grant of Security. The Grantor hereby assigns, pledges and hypothecates to the Lender, and hereby grants to the Lender a security interest in, the Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following, in each case, as to each type of property described below, whether now existing or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a) all of the following:

(i) the Securities Accounts, all Pledged Security Entitlements with respect to all Pledged Financial Assets (including any cash and money market fund shares credited to the Securities Accounts) from time to time credited to the Securities Accounts, all Pledged Financial Assets from time to time credited to the Securities Accounts, and all dividends, interest, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Security Entitlements or such Pledged Financial Assets; and

(ii) all additional investment property (including all (A) securities, whether certificated or uncertificated (including [] shares of common stock of U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: USX), a Nevada corporation (“USX”), which are specified in Exhibit A hereto (such shares being referred to herein as the “Initial USX Collateral” and together with all additional shares of common stock of USX from time to time credited to the Securities Accounts or otherwise pledged hereunder, the “USX Collateral”)), (B) security entitlements, and (C) securities accounts) in which the Grantor has or acquires from time to time any right, title or interest in any manner by reason of the Grantor’s right, title or interest in or to any of the items set forth in the foregoing subparagraph (i), and the certificates or instruments, if any, representing or evidencing such investment property and all dividends, interest, distributions, value, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such additional investment property; and

(b) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral (including proceeds that constitute property of the types described in clause (a) of this Section 1 and this clause (b) and, to the extent not otherwise included, all cash).

Section 2. Security for Obligations. (a) This Agreement secures the prompt payment and performance of all obligations of the Grantor to the Lender and its Affiliates now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the [Credit Agreement][, the Guaranty] and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (including without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals thereof), and whether for principal, interest, fees, indemnification, costs, expenses or otherwise (including all out-of-pocket costs of enforcement of the Loan Documents), and the unconditional performance of all obligations to be kept and performed by the Grantor in respect of the [Credit Agreement][, the Guaranty] and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (all such obligations being the “Secured Obligations”).

(b) After the Effective Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor may make trades of Pledged Financial Assets in the Securities Accounts, provided that, a Margin Shortfall or Sell-Out Shortfall shall not result from such trade. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor may, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice, request that the Lender release its security interest in a designated portion of such Pledged Financial Assets, and the Lender shall release its security

interest in such designated Collateral, provided that a Margin Shortfall or Sell-Out Shortfall shall not result from such release. The Lender reserves the right (which shall be exercised in its reasonable discretion) to select from among the Pledged Financial Assets, the Pledged Financial Assets (or portion or lots thereof) that shall be subject to release in accordance with this Section.

Section 3. Grantor Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the exercise by the Lender of any of the rights hereunder shall not release the Grantor from any duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (b) the Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 4. Control of Collateral.

(a) For the purpose of giving the Lender control over the Securities Accounts and in order to perfect the Lender’s security interests in the Collateral, the Grantor hereby consents to (x) the Securities Intermediary entering into a control agreement with the Lender (the “Control Agreement”) pursuant to which the Securities Intermediary agrees to accept and comply with entitlement orders and instructions from the Lender (or from any assignee or successor of the Lender) regarding the Securities Accounts without further consent of the Grantor, (y) the Securities Intermediary retitling any Securities Account in the name of the Lender for the benefit of the Grantor to further perfect and evidence the Lender’s security interest in such Securities Account granted pursuant to this Agreement and (z) the Securities Intermediary delivering to the Lender account statements, trade confirmations and any other information relating to the Securities Accounts. Without limiting the foregoing, the Grantor acknowledges, consents and agrees that, pursuant to a control agreement (the “Control Agreement”) entered into by and between the Lender and the Securities Intermediary:

(i) the Securities Intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Lender regarding the Securities Accounts without further consent from the Grantor. The Securities Intermediary will treat all assets credited to the Securities Accounts, including money and credit balances, as financial assets for purposes of Article 8 of the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code.

(ii) in order to enable the Grantor to trade certain Pledged Financial Assets in accordance with Section 2(b) above, the Securities Intermediary may comply with entitlement orders originated by the Grantor (or if so agreed by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, by an investment adviser designated by the Grantor and acceptable to the Lender) regarding any Securities Account given, if applicable, in the manner set forth in Section 4(b)(iv) below, but only until such time that the Lender notifies the Securities Intermediary that the Lender is asserting exclusive control over such Securities Account (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”). After the Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Exclusive Control and has had a reasonable opportunity to comply, it will no longer comply with entitlement orders or instructions (including voting instructions) originated by the Grantor (or by any investment advisor designated by the Grantor) concerning the applicable Securities Account. After receipt of

a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Securities Intermediary will comply with voting instructions from the Lender in respect of any Pledged Financial Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, and irrespective of whether it has received any Notice of Exclusive Control, the Grantor acknowledges and accepts that the Lender and the Securities Intermediary have procedures in place whereby any entitlement order originated by the Grantor (or by any investment advisor designated by the Grantor) to withdraw any Pledged Financial Assets from any Securities Account, pay any money, free credit balance or other amount owing on any Securities Account or trade any Pledged Financial Asset is subject to a process whereby the Lender assesses whether such withdrawal or trade would result in a Margin Shortfall or Sell-Out Shortfall, and if so, may instruct the Securities Intermediary not to honor such a request. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing shall in any way affect the limitation of liability of the Securities Intermediary contained in Section 4(b) below.

(b) The Grantor further acknowledges, consents and agrees that:

(i) To the extent that any provisions of this Agreement conflict with any provisions of the Grantor’s client agreements in respect of any Securities Account, the provisions of this Agreement shall control;

(ii) In respect of the Securities Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall not be held responsible for (x) any decline in the market value of any Collateral or the failure to notify the Lender or the Grantor thereof or (y) its failure to take any action or action taken by it with respect to any Collateral, including permitting the Lender to withdraw Collateral from any Securities Account, or failing to permit the Grantor to trade within any Securities Account or withdraw Collateral from any Securities Account, except to the extent directly caused by the Securities Intermediary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility for interpreting any of the provisions of this Agreement or determining whether any trading or withdrawal of Pledged Financial Assets by the Grantor is permitted hereunder or would result in any Margin Shortfall or Sell-Out Shortfall, and shall act solely on the instructions communicated to it via the Lender in respect of any such trading or withdrawal; and

(iv) The Securities Intermediary and its successors and assigns shall be entitled to rely on the consents and agreements of the Grantor in this Section 4 as if such consents had been given directly to, and such agreements had been made directly with, such Securities Intermediary, successor or assign.

(c) The Grantor shall deliver to the Lender (i) simultaneously with or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, all certificates, if any, representing the Initial USX Shares and (ii) promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Grantor, all other certificates constituting USX Collateral. Prior to delivery to the Lender, all such certificates constituting USX Collateral shall be held in trust by the Grantor for the benefit of the Lender. All such certificates shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery and shall be

accompanied by undated stock powers therefor, executed by the Grantor in blank and medallion guaranteed.

(d) If the Grantor shall receive by virtue of its being or having been the owner of any USX Collateral, any (i) certificate, including any certificate representing a dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares or other equity interests, stock splits, spin-off or split- off, promissory notes or other instruments; (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or an exchange for, any USX Collateral or otherwise; (iii) dividends payable in securities; or (iv) distributions of securities in connection with a partial or total liquidation, dissolution or reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, then the Grantor shall receive such certificate, instrument, option, right or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall segregate it from the Grantor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Lender in the exact form received together with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate undated stock powers, executed by the Grantor in blank and medallion guaranteed to be held by the Lender as USX Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(e) The Grantor authorizes the Lender to prepare and file such UCC or other applicable financing statements as may be reasonably deemed necessary by the Lender in order to perfect and protect the security interest created hereby in the Collateral.

Section 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) The Grantor is the one hundred percent (100%) legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, except for the security interest created by this Agreement or permitted under the Credit Agreement. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Lender relating to this Agreement or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Collateral held in the Securities Accounts consists of marketable securities of the type set forth in Column A of Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement which shall be acceptable to the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. The Collateral held in the Securities Accounts is in a form that meets the guidelines for deposit with the Depository Trust Corporation.

(c) All of the certificates representing the Initial USX Collateral, together with undated stock powers therefor, executed by the Grantor in blank and medallion guaranteed, have been delivered to the Lender. All filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect the security interest in the Collateral of the Grantor created under this Agreement have been duly made or taken and are in full force and effect. This Agreement creates in favor of the Lender a valid and, together with such delivery, filings and other actions, perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral of the Grantor, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations.

(d) No consent of any other Person and no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other third party is required either (i) for the grant by the Grantor of the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Grantor, (ii) for the perfection or maintenance of the pledge, assignment and security interest created hereby (including the first priority nature of such pledge, assignment or security interest), except for the actions described in Section 4 with respect to the Collateral, or (iii) for the exercise by the Lender of its voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be required in connection with the disposition of any portion of the Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally.

(e) The Grantor is familiar with Rule 144 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended from time to time, “Rule 144”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Rule 145 of such General Rules and Regulations (as amended from time to time, “Rule 145”).

(f) The Grantor is the legal and beneficial owner (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d 3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of the Pledge Shares and is considered an “Affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) of USX. USX has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior to the date hereof and has filed all of the reports, quarterly or annual, required to be filed with the SEC during the twelve (12) months (or such shorter period as permitted under Rule 144) prior to the date hereof.

(g) More than one (1) year has elapsed since each of the USX Collateral has been acquired and fully paid for by the Grantor or an Affiliate of the Grantor for purposes of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act.

(h) There are no agreements, arrangements or policies of USX in effect which would restrict the ability of the Grantor to pledge any of the USX Collateral to the Lender or the foreclosure and resale of the USX Collateral by the Lender pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) of the Securities Act. There is no transfer stop or other restriction on transfer of any of the USX Collateral on USX’s or its transfer agent’s stock books. USX is not subject to Rule 144(i) of the Securities Act.

(i) All of the USX Collateral has been validly acquired and validly issued, and is fully paid and non-assessable and no USX Collateral is evidenced or represented by any certificate, note or chattel paper other than such as has been or will be delivered to the Lender together with appropriate stock powers or other instruments of transfer therefor, except as held of record by the Depository Trust Company. The Grantor has the right, subject to the restrictions of the Securities Act, to transfer all of the USX Collateral, free of any Lien.

(j) From and after the date hereof, as long as the Lender is not an Affiliate of USX, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender will be able to sell the USX Collateral under Rule 144(b)(1). Such Grantor shall cooperate fully with the Lender with respect

to any sale by the Lender of any of the USX Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including full and complete compliance with all requirements of Rule 144 of the Act, and will give to the Lender all information and will do all things necessary, including the execution of all documents, forms, instruments and other items, to comply with Rule 144 of the Act.

(k) Other than as set forth on Schedule 5(k) attached hereto, there are no securities of the same class or convertible into the same class as the USX Collateral held by the Grantor or any other Person with whom the Grantor is required to aggregate sales of the USX Collateral for purposes of Rule 144(e) (each an “Aggregated Person”).

(l) As of the date of this Agreement, and as of the date of any pledge of additional USX Collateral under this Agreement, (i) the Grantor has not and, to the knowledge of the Grantor, no Aggregated Person has sold any securities of the same class of securities as the USX Collateral, or has sold any securities which are convertible into such securities, or has sold any options, puts or calls for such securities within the preceding three (3) months and (ii) neither the Grantor nor to the knowledge of the Grantor any Aggregated Person has any sale order open with any broker to sell securities of the same class of securities as the Pledged Collateral or to sell securities which are convertible into such securities, or to sell options, puts or calls for such securities.

(m) For so long as the Grantor is deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower and until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement has been terminated, the Grantor shall provide the Lender prompt written notice after any sale of the USX Collateral, any securities of the same class or convertible into the same class of securities as the USX Collateral, or any options, puts or calls relating to such securities by the Grantor or to the knowledge of the Grantor any Aggregated Person, whether or not such securities are pledged hereunder.

(n) In addition to Rule 144, the Grantor is also familiar with the other securities laws and regulations affecting the Grantor’s ownership and pledge, and the potential sale or liquidation, of the USX Collateral, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, and has made the Grantor’s own determination whether any such securities laws or regulations are applicable to the Grantor. If applicable, the Grantor understands and acknowledges that the Grantor may incur monetary liability to the Grantor under Section 16 of the Exchange Act in connection with a sale of the USX Collateral, whether initiated by the Grantor or by the Lender, and may incur other liabilities and penalties under other securities laws in such event. The Grantor acknowledges that the Grantor is strictly responsible for any such liability and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender and its Affiliates and its and their representatives from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities, damages or expenses arising out of or relating to a purchase or sale of any of the USX Collateral under Section 16 of the Exchange Act at any time whatsoever. The Grantor’s obligations under this Section 5(n) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 6. Further Assurances. The Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the Grantor, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and

documents (including a signed Federal Reserve Form U-1 required under Regulation U as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States), and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Lender may request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security interest granted or purported to be granted by the Grantor hereunder or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. The Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. The Grantor will furnish to the Lender from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

Section 7. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Grantor shall be entitled to make trades in the Securities Accounts (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(b) and Section 4) and exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that the Grantor will not exercise and will refrain from exercising any such right if such action is prohibited by the provisions herein or would result in a Margin Shortfall or Sell-Out Shortfall.

(b) The Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral; provided, however, that any and all (i) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, such Collateral, (ii) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of such Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus, and (iii) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, such Collateral, shall be forthwith delivered to the Lender to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by the Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Grantor and be forthwith delivered to the Lender as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

Section 8. Transfers and Other Liens. The Grantor shall not, without the consent of the Lender, (a) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, or (b) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created by this Agreement.

Section 9. Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including to (a)

ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, (b) file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral, (c) do all acts and things which the Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do and (d) promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action as contemplated by Section 6.

Section 10. Lender May Perform; Duties.

(a) If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor under Section 12 (it being understood and agreed that until all such amounts are paid in full by the Grantor, such amounts shall be deemed to be “Secured Obligations” hereunder). The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

(b) Except for the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

Section 11. Remedies. If a Default or an Event of Default (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall be a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing;

(a) (i) All rights of the Grantor (A) to exercise or refrain from making trades in the Securities Accounts and exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement shall cease and (B) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Lender, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by the Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (i) of this Section 11(a) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Lender as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(iii) The Lender shall be entitled to issue Entitlement Orders and send the Securities Intermediary a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined in and under the Control Agreement), and, in connection therewith (A) cause the Securities Accounts to be re-registered in the Lender’s sole name or transfer the Securities Accounts to another broker/dealer in its sole name, (B) remove any Collateral from the Securities Accounts and register such Collateral in its name or in the name of its broker/dealer, agent or nominee or any of their nominees, (C) exchange certificates representing any of the Collateral for certificates of larger or smaller denominations, and (D) exercise any voting, conversion, registration, sale or other rights of a holder of any of the Collateral, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor under Section 12 (it being understood and agreed that until all such amounts are paid in full by the Grantor, such amounts shall be deemed to be “Secured Obligations” hereunder).

(b) All cash proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Lender, be held by the Lender as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Lender pursuant to Section 12) in whole or in part by the Lender against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Lender shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Lender and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(d) All payments received by the Grantor under or in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(e) In addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to the Lender, the Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code applies to the affected Collateral).

(f) Without limiting the generality of this Section 11, the Lender may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the USX Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or for future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, the Lender may in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law and has not been waived by the Grantor, any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Grantor, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 14 of this Agreement, at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale.

The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of USX Collateral of the Grantor regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(g) The Grantor recognizes that the Lender may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the USX Collateral Shares and that the Lender may, therefore determine to make one or more private sales of any such USX Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such USX Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms that 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 and that Lender shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such USX Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to register such USX Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act. The Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such USX Collateral that has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and the Lender may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such USX Collateral.

(h) To the extent permitted under applicable law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, the Lender may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the USX Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Lender shall have provided such notices, however, the Lender shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any USX Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligation for any reason

Section 12. Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) The Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and each of its Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel of any Indemnified Party) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Commitment except that the Grantor shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to (i) any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a final, non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) disputes between or among the Lender and any assignee of the Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Person who has purchased a participation in or to all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and

obligations under this Agreement that do not involve any acts or omissions of the Grantor. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 12 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Grantor or any of its Related Parties or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Grantor also agrees not to assert any claim against the Lender and any of its Related Parties on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Commitment. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Grantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Grantor contained in this Section 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Secured Obligations hereunder.

(b) The Grantor will, upon demand, pay to each applicable Indemnified Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that such Indemnified Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of the Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Indemnified Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Grantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Grantor contained in this Section 12 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 13. Amendments; Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 14. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including fax communication and any other method of communication authorized by the Lender) and faxed or sent by a reputable overnight courier or delivery service to the Grantor, at the Grantor’s address as set forth in the [Credit Agreement and/or Guaranty]; or if to the Lender, at its address at Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Private Bank, National Association, c/o Morgan Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0XX, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Tailored Lending, or fax number (000) 000-0000, Attention: Tailored Lending; or, as to the Grantor or the Lender at such other address or fax number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party or, in the case of a change of the Grantor’s address or fax number, as may be requested by the Grantor in writing to the Lender or by any other means agreed to by the Lender. All such notices and communications shall, when faxed, be effective upon the faxing thereof or, when sent by reputable overnight courier or delivery system, be effective on the Business Day following the

day when the same is sent in such manner. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic means of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any schedule or exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

Section 15. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment under the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Commitment under the Credit Agreement, (b) be binding upon the Grantor and the Grantor’s [heirs, executors, administrators,] successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the Lender and its respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), the Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and/or any or all of the other Loan Documents to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Lender in this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 16. Termination. Subject, in any event, to Section 17((b), upon the later of the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Commitment under the Credit Agreement, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Lender will, at the Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 17. Security Interest Absolute.

(a) The obligations of the Grantor under this Agreement are independent of the Secured Obligations or any other obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Grantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Grantor or any other Loan Party or whether the Grantor or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. All rights of the Lender and the pledge, assignment and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(v) Any change, restructuring, revocation or termination of the organizational structure or existence of any Loan Party that is not an individual or the death or disability of any Loan Party that is an individual;

(vi) Any failure of the Lender to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Lender (the Grantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender to disclose such information);

(vii) The failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any other Loan Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations; or

(b) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender or by any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 18. Ownership and Bust-Up.

(A) the Beneficial Ownership by the Lender of USX Stock would be equal to or greater than 9.99% of the number of the total outstanding USX Stock; or

(ii) The inability of the Lender or its Affiliates to acquire, receive or exercise rights with respect to any USX Stock as provided above at any time as a result of an Ownership Limitation shall not preclude the Lender or its Affiliates from taking such action at a later time when no such Ownership Limitation is then existing or would result under this provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Lender and its Affiliates shall not become the record or beneficial owner, or otherwise have any rights as a holder, of any USX Stock that the Lender or its Affiliates, as the case may be, are not entitled to acquire, receive or vote, or exercise any other rights of a secured party in respect of, at any time pursuant to this Ownership Provision, until such time as the Lender or its Affiliates, as the case may be, are not prohibited from acquiring, receiving, voting or exercising such rights in respect thereof under this Section, and any such acquisition, receipt, vote or exercise of such rights shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Lender or its Affiliates, as the case may be, are so prohibited.

after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation for purposes of determining status as a beneficial owner under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder results in a different ownership level, such ownership level).

(ii) “Qualifying Disposition” means a sale, transfer or other disposition of USX Stock:

(A) to any Person who acquires them in a broadly distributed public offering of the USX Stock that is registered under the Securities Act (including the underwriter of such offering, which may be the Lender or an Affiliate of the Lender);

(B) effected on any securities exchange so long as neither the Lender nor any Affiliate of the Lender solicited or arranged for the solicitation of orders to buy such USX Stock in anticipation of or in connection with such sale;

(D) to a Person that the Lender believes in good faith is not, and after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition, will not be, an Affiliate of USX;

(E) to a Person that is an Affiliate of USX prior to such sale, transfer or other disposition so long as the number of USX Stock, or the USX Stock that is collateral or other security for any other transaction to which the Lender or any Affiliate thereof is a party, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of such USX Stock to such Person (in any manner at any time, in one transaction or a series of transactions) does not in the aggregate exceed 9.99% of the outstanding USX Stock; or

(F) to USX or any subsidiary thereof.

(iii) “Section 13(d)” means Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 19. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 20. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles of New York

State law other than § 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, except to the extent that the perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, and the priority of the security interest or remedies hereunder in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

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 any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(c) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) EACH OF THE GRANTOR AND THE LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS THEREUNDER OR HEREUNDER OR THE ACTIONS OF THE LENDER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF.

Section 21. Severability of Provisions.

Re:

Proposed Pledge of Common Stock of U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), by [_______________] (“Pledgors”).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with a proposed credit transaction between Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Private Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) and the Pledgors whereby [ _______________ ] shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the Pledgors (the “Pledged Shares”) will be pledged by the Pledgors to the Bank as security for the obligations of Borrower to the Bank (the “Pledge”), the Issuer hereby certifies to the Bank as follows:

1. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor is, or has been within the three (3) month period preceding the date of hereof, an “affiliate” of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”).

2. The Pledged Shares were acquired by the Pledgors and have been owned and fully paid for, or deemed owned and fully paid for, by the Pledgors since the date noted next to such shares on Exhibit A attached hereto.

3. The Pledged Shares may be pledged to the Bank by the Pledgors.

4. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that any failure to report any Pledgor’s intention to transact in the Pledged Shares to either the Issuer or any applicable regulatory agency or exchange under any applicable law or regulation shall not act as a restriction on (i) the transfer of the Pledged Shares by such Pledgor or (ii) any subsequent sale of the Pledged Shares by the Bank.

5. The Issuer has no objection to the Pledge and confirms and agrees that the Pledge will not violate, and any foreclosure on, or any sale or other disposition of, the Pledged Shares by the Bank or any nominee of the Bank, is not restricted in any manner by any xxxxxxx xxxxxxx or other policy or rule of the Issuer, by any agreement between the Issuer and any Pledgor or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, by any agreement to which the Pledged Shares are subject.

6. Provided the Bank is not an affiliate of the Issuer, the Issuer agrees that the Pledged Shares are freely saleable by the Bank, as pledgee, under Rule 144(b)(1), free of any

current public information requirements, volume limitations, manner of sale requirements or filing requirements.

7. To the Issuer’s knowledge, the Pledged Shares are not subject to any other pledge, security interest, lien, encumbrance or right of setoff, except as may exist in favor of the Bank.

8. The Pledged Shares are represented by certificates as provided on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Issuer agrees that such certificates may not be replaced or superseded, and that no replacement certificates representing any of the Pledged Shares may be issued to any person other than the Bank without the prior written consent of the Bank.

The Issuer hereby agrees that if the Bank wishes to enforce its security interest and sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Shares, or take any other enforcement action with respect to any Pledged Shares, including, without limitation, taking title thereto, in each case as a result of a default by the Pledgor, the Issuer shall, notwithstanding any policy or procedure that the Issuer may have in place at such time or any agreement by which the Issuer is bound that would prevent or delay any sale or transfer of such Pledged Shares by the Pledgor as of the date of the Pledge or by the Bank at the time of such sale, disposition or other enforcement action by the Bank, cooperate with the Bank to promptly effect the sale or disposition of, or other enforcement action with respect to, such Pledged Shares in accordance with applicable law, whether in the name of the Pledgor, the Bank or a nominee of the Bank, including, without limitation: (i) to promptly, and in any event within five (5) business days after request from the Bank, issue such instructions, legal opinions or other approvals as may be required to authorize the transfer agent to register the transfer of the Pledged Shares in connection with any such sale or disposition of, or other enforcement transaction with respect to, such Pledged Shares by the Bank; (ii) to promptly, and in any event within five (5) business days after request from the Bank, remove any restrictive legends on any certificates representing such Pledged Shares, if applicable, and (iii) to promptly upon request provide the Bank or any broker or other agent of the Bank any information (other than material non-public information) reasonably requested by the Bank or such broker or other agent with respect to any proposed sale or disposition of, or any other enforcement action with respect to, such Pledged Shares.

The Issuer acknowledges that the Bank is relying on the Issuer’s certifications and agreements set forth in this letter in connection with entering into the above-noted credit transaction with the Pledgor.
