obligations are now immediately due and payable.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, representations and
warranties herein set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Acceleration of the Obligations and Default Interest. The Obligors each
acknowledge that as a result of the Acceleration, all unpaid principal and accrued interest under
the Notes, along with all other unpaid obligations under the Loan Documents became immediately due
and payable, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, all such obligations remain immediately
due and payable as of the date hereof. Each of the Obligors further acknowledges that except
during the Forbearance Period as set forth in Section 4 hereof, all such unpaid obligations which
remain outstanding after October 13, 2006 shall bear interest at lesser of (i) the default rate of
interest applicable thereto under the Loan Documents or (ii) the Maximum Rate.
SECTION 2. Existing Events of Default. The Obligors each hereby acknowledge that the
following defaults and events of default currently exist under the Loan Documents and shall
continue to exist under the Loan Documents under the Forbearance Period (the “Existing Events
of Default”):
(a) The failure of Borrower to immediately pay, upon the Acceleration, all unpaid principal
and accrued interest under the Notes, along with all other unpaid obligations under the Loan
Documents and the continued failure of Borrower to pay such amounts during the Forbearance Period;
(b) The failure of Borrower to maintain the required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as required
by Section 12.1 of the Loan Agreement for all periods ended on or before the Forbearance
Termination Date;

periods ended on or before the Forbearance Termination Date.
SECTION 3. Forbearance. (a) The Obligors hereby agree that but for the forbearance
of the Bank set forth below, which is subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Bank would be entitled to pursue it rights and remedies for the enforcement of
the Obligors’ obligations under the Loan Documents. The Obligors further agree that (i) the
Existing Events of Default are not cured or waived by reason of the Bank’s execution of this
Agreement and (ii) the Acceleration shall not be affected by the forbearance of Bank set forth
below. The Bank is only agreeing in this Agreement to forbear from the exercise of its rights and
remedies which may arise or have arisen by virtue of the Existing Events of Default, and upon
termination of the Forbearance Period (as hereinafter defined), the Bank shall remain entitled to
pursue any and all of its rights and remedies which may arise or have arisen by virtue of the
Existing Events of Default.
(b) The Bank agrees that for a period (the “Forbearance Period”) commencing on the

occurrence of any default or event of default under the Loan Documents (other than the Existing
Events of Default), (iii) the date on which any of the Forbearance Conditions described in Section
5 below shall fail to be satisfied and (iv) the date on which any of the Borrower Parties shall
fail to satisfy any of their obligations or covenants under this Agreement or any representation or
warranty made by any Borrower Party in this Agreement fails to be true and correct in any material
respect. On the Forbearance Termination Date, the Bank’s agreement hereunder to forebear from
exercising its remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Existing Events of Default
shall automatically cease and terminate and be of no further force and effect.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the Bank is entitled to take any and all
action as may be necessary and appropriate to perfect, protect and defend the priority
2
of any liens or security interests granted to it pursuant to the Loan Documents against the claims
and actions of any other creditors (including any bankruptcy trustee) and to make such filings as
may be necessary and appropriate to insure or maintain the priority and perfection of such liens.
No failure on the part of the Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable law.
SECTION 4. Interest Rate During Forbearance Period. During the Forbearance Period,
the Bank and the Borrower Parties agree that all unpaid principal and accrued interest under the
Notes, along with all other unpaid obligations under the Loan Documents, shall bear interest at the
lesser of (i) the sum of the Prime Rate in effect from day to day plus two and three quarters
percent (2.75%) per annum or (ii) the Maximum Rate. After the Forbearance Termination Date, all
such obligations shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate or (ii) the default rate
of interest applicable thereto.
SECTION 5. Conditions to Forbearance. Each of the following conditions shall
constitute a “Forbearance Condition” and the Obligors agree that all of the following shall
be satisfied as a condition to the Bank’s agreements hereunder:
(a) Newcastle shall have delivered to the Bank either (i) a letter of credit in favor of the
Bank in the amount of $1,500,000 issued by a credit-worthy financial institution containing terms
and conditions acceptable to the Bank in its sole discretion (the “Newcastle Letter of
Credit”) or (ii) a guaranty agreement in form an substance acceptable to the Bank in its sole
discretion guaranteeing all the Obligations (the “Newcastle Guaranty”);
(b) Newcastle shall have executed and delivered to the Bank a subordination agreement in form
and substance acceptable to the Bank in its sole discretion;
(c) Borrower shall have paid any Swap Termination Payment owing to the Bank as a result of the
termination of the Swap Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof;
(d) This Agreement must be fully executed by all parties hereto and the Bank must be in

(e) The Borrower shall have paid all reasonable attorneys fees of the Bank and all other costs
of the Bank incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and in
connection with prior negotiations, matters, events and transactions related to the Loan Documents
for which Borrower has been provided with a written invoice prior to the Effective Date.
SECTION 6. Newcastle Letter of Credit and the Newcastle Guaranty. The Obligors and
Newcastle agree that if any Obligations shall remain outstanding on the Forbearance Termination
Date, the Bank shall be entitled to draw on the Newcastle Letter of Credit or enforce its rights
under the Newcastle Guaranty, as applicable, at any time following such Forbearance Termination
Date. If the amount drawn by the Bank under the Newcastle Letter of Credit exceeds the amount of
Obligations then outstanding (as determined by the Bank in its sole
3
discretion), the Bank shall promptly refund such excess amount to Newcastle. The Bank shall
promptly return the Newcastle Letter of Credit to Newcastle upon the payment in full of the
Obligations.
SECTION 7. Termination of the Swap Agreement. The Obligors and the Bank agree that
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement dated as of February 27, 2001 between the Borrower and the Bank
(as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swap Agreement”) is hereby
terminated without necessity of any further action or notice by any party. If any amounts are
owing from Borrower to the Bank as a result of such termination (a
“Borrower Swap Termination
Payment”), such amounts shall automatically become part of the Obligations and shall be
immediately due and payable. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Forbearance Period
shall not begin until all Borrower Swap Termination Payments have paid. If any amounts are owing
from the Bank to Borrower as a result of the termination of the Swap Agreement, such amounts shall
be applied to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents.
SECTION 8. Additional Advances under the Loan Documents. As a result of the Existing
Events of Default and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Bank has no
obligation of any kind or type to make advances under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during the Forbearance Period the Bank agrees to fund requests for additional Revolving
Credit Advances so long as the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances at any
time outstanding (without giving effect to any Letter of Credit Liabilities) does not exceed
$2,020,000. Any advances so made by the Bank shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note and
shall become a part of the Obligations without necessity of any further action, and shall bear
interest as set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 9. Outstanding Letter of Credit in Favor of Northwestern National Insurance
Company. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Bank has issued a Letter of Credit in favor of
Northwestern National Insurance Company (or its affiliate) in the amount of $230,000 which will
expire on November 30, 2006. The Bank has notified Northwestern National Insurance Company that
the Bank does not intend to renew such Letter of Credit. In the event such Letter of Credit is
drawn upon, all disbursements made by the Bank in connection with such Letter of Credit shall
become a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest as set forth in this Agreement. For
avoidance of doubt, if the Letter of Credit issued in favor of Northwestern National Insurance
Company is drawn upon, the occurrence of such drawing shall not cause the Forbearance Period to
terminate.
SECTION 10. Remedies Upon Termination of the Forbearance Period. Upon the occurrence
of the Forbearance Termination Date, the Forbearance Period shall terminate without further act or
action by the Bank, and the Bank shall be entitled immediately to institute Foreclosure Proceedings
(as defined below) against any collateral securing the Obligations and to exercise any and all of
the rights and remedies available to the Bank under the Loan Documents and this Agreement, at law,
in equity or otherwise, without further notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of
acceleration or notice of intent to accelerate (it being acknowledged that the Obligations have
been accelerated), notice of intent to foreclose, notice of sale, notice of protest or other
formalities or any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower Parties.
“Foreclosure Proceedings” shall mean (a) the commencement of
4
judicial proceedings for the collection of the Obligations or the foreclosure of liens against any
of the collateral securing the Obligations, (b) the nonjudicial foreclosure of any of the
collateral securing the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Document
and the Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, (c) a combination of (a) and (b), or (d) the
exercise of any other remedies under the Loan Documents, including any right of setoff.
SECTION 11. Ratification, No Defenses. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the agreements and obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents are hereby brought forward,
renewed and extended until the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall have been fully paid and
discharged. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents and all terms thereof are
valid and enforceable obligations of the Obligors and shall remain in full force and effect. The
Bank hereby preserves all of its rights against each of the Obligors, and each of the Obligors
hereby agree that all such rights are ratified and brought forward for the benefit of the Bank.
SECTION 12. Representations and Warranties. (a) Each of the Obligors represents and
warrants to the Bank that:
(1) Except for the Existing Events of Default, no default or event of default
has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents;
(2) After giving effect to this Agreement, the representations and warranties
contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on

Events of Default;
(3) Except as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto, there is no

the Bank may assign this Agreement in accordance with the Loan Documents.
SECTION 21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and applicable federal law.
SECTION 22. FINAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE A “LOAN AGREEMENT” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 26.02(a) OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS
AND COMMERCE CODE AND REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
SECTION 23. Consent and Agreement with Respect to Certain Matters.
(a) Sale of Certain Assets. Notwithstanding the Existing Events of Default, the
Borrower may sell (i) the assets described on Schedule B attached hereto to Sygma Network,
Inc. so long as such assets are not sold for less than the fair market value thereof and (ii)
terminate any leases with respect to trailer equipment leased by Borrower and sell at not less than
fair market value any trailer equipment owned by Borrower which is no longer useful in its
operations. Any proceeds from such sale shall be paid to the Bank to be applied against the
outstanding Revolving Credit Advances. For avoidance of doubt, no event of default shall have
occurred under the Loan Documents if the termination of such leases results in a violation of the
Capital Expenditure limit set forth in Section 12.4 of the Loan Agreement or the limitation on
operating lease payments set forth in Section 12.5 of the Loan Agreement.
(b) Sale and Leaseback of Real Property. Notwithstanding Section 11.9 of the Loan
Agreement, the Bank hereby consents to the execution by Borrower of an agreement for the sale and
leaseback of the Real Property, it being understood, however, that notwithstanding the execution by
Borrower of such sale and leaseback agreement, until all Obligations have been paid in full no sale
or other transfer of the Real Property shall be permitted and the Bank’s security interest in the
real property shall not be released. Upon the termination of the Forbearance Period, nothing in
this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Bank from posting the Real Property for foreclosure,
foreclosing upon the Real Property or otherwise exercising any of its rights or remedies under the
Loan Documents.
(c) Security Interest in Favor of Newcastle. Provided that the Forbearance Conditions
have been satisfied, the Bank hereby agrees that (i) Borrower may incur reimbursement obligations
to Newcastle with respect to amounts required to be paid by
9
Newcastle in respect of the Newcastle Letter of Credit or the Newcastle Guaranty, as applicable,
(ii) Borrower may grant to Newcastle a security interest in Borrower’s property as security for
such obligations, and (iii) Newcastle may file financing statements to perfect such security
interests. It is understood that in accordance with the subordination agreement referenced in
Section 5(b), all such obligations and security interests granted to Newcastle shall be subordinate
to any and all obligations and security interests of the Bank.
(d) Xxxxxx Settlement. The Bank agrees that no event of default shall have occurred
under the Loan Documents solely by reason of the incurrence by Borrower of payment obligations to
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx in the principal amount of $2,800,000 (together with interest thereon at five
percent (5.00%) per annum) in connection with the Compromise and Settlement Agreement regarding the
Matter of Arbitration between Borrower and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx before the American Arbitration
Association, case number 71 166 00025 05, provided that such payment obligations shall be unsecured
and shall be subordinate to the Obligations. During the Forbearance Period, the Bank consents to
the payment of $450,000 (plus accrued interest thereon) by Borrower as scheduled principal
repayments of such obligations.
(e) Pepsico Settlement. The Bank agrees that no event of default shall occur under
the Loan Documents solely by reason of the incurrence by the Borrower of aggregate payment
obligations to Pepsico of $410,000, of which $250,000 may be evidenced by a promissory note, in
connection with the settlement of certain disputes between the Borrower and Pepsico, provided that
such payment obligations shall be unsecured and shall be subordinate to the Obligations. The
Borrower shall make no payments on such obligations until the Obligations shall have been paid in
full.
(f) Other Matters. The Bank agrees that (i) based on the information provided to the
Bank as of the Effective Date, the Bank is not aware that any representation or warranty made by
Borrower pursuant to Section 9.13 of the Loan Agreement has been false, misleading or erroneous in
any material respect, (ii) no event of default shall occur with respect to Section 9.15 of the Loan
Agreement solely by reason of the transactions described in this Section 23, (iii) no event of
default under the Loan Documents currently exists with respect to the failure by the Bank to
approve any leases of the Real Property previously submitted in writing to the Bank and (iv) no
event of default has occurred under clause (ii) of Section 11.1(f) of the Construction Loan
Agreement.
SECTION 24. Expiration. This Agreement shall be null and void, and of no effect,
unless all conditions precedent to its effectiveness are satisfied on or before 12:00 p.m. CST on
November 13, 2006.
