Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain LCs shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, prior to the LC Termination Date, obtain LCs to replace LCs that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(A) the expiry date of such requested LC would occur after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless Lender has approved such expiry date;

Any notice given by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6(b)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that, the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is deemed to be fully refinanced by a Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility at a time when, after giving effect to such Loan, the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit Limit (or a Potential Default or a Default exists), Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from Lender an LC Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LC Borrowing shall be deemed to be an overadvance and shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(c) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for each drawing under each LC and to repay each LC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each LC and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify Lender. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given.

(d) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Lender, (i) if Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any LC and such drawing has resulted in an LC Borrowing which constitutes an overadvance, (ii) Lender has approved the issuance of an LC with an expiry date which expires after the LC Termination Date, or (iii) if, as of the LC Termination Date, any LC for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding LC Exposure (in an amount equal to the excess of the Revolving Credit Exposure over the Revolving Credit Limit, determined as of the date of such LC Borrowing or the LC Termination Date, as the case may be). Borrower hereby grants to Lender, a security interest in and Lien upon all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Lender.

(e) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower when an LC is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby LC, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial LC.

(f) Conflict with LC Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any LC Application, the terms hereof shall control.

3.4 Order of Application.

(a) All payments and prepayments shall be applied as specified in this Agreement and, if not specified, shall be applied in the following order: (i) to all fees, expenses, late charges, collection costs, and other charges, costs and expenses for which Lender has not been paid or reimbursed under the Loan Documents, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes in the order Lender elects, (iii) to the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Notes in the order Lender elects, and (iv) to the remaining Obligation in the order and manner Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

(b) All proceeds from the exercise of any rights shall be applied at Lender’s discretion among principal, interest, fees, expenses, late charges, collection costs, and other charges, costs and expenses, for which Lender has not been paid or reimbursed under the Loan Documents.

3.5 Interest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,

(a) Loans under this Agreement shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) (A) for LIBOR Loans, the sum of LIBOR plus the Applicable Rate, and (B) for Prime Rate Loans, the Prime Rate, and (ii) the Maximum Rate.

(b) Each change in LIBOR, the Prime Rate, or the Maximum Rate is effective has of the date of such change without notice to Borrower or any other Person. Generally, LIBOR shall be set for each month on the first day of such month.

Subject to Section 3.8, if a Default exists, Lender may, in its sole discretion, to the extent permitted by Law, add accrued and unpaid interest to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and such amount will accrue interest until paid at the applicable interest rate.

3.7 Interest Calculations. Interest on Loans and on the amount of all fees and other amounts due under the Loan Documents will be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days (unless computation would result in an interest rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, in which event the computation is made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). All interest rate determinations and calculations by Lender are conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

3.8 Maximum Rate. It is the intention of the parties to comply with applicable usury laws. The parties agree that the total amount of interest contracted for, charged, collected or received by Lender under this Agreement shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. To the extent, if any, that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the “Finance Code”) is relevant to Lender for purposes of determining the Maximum Rate, the parties elect to determine the Maximum Rate under the Finance Code pursuant to the “weekly ceiling” from time to time in effect, as referred to and defined in § 303.001-303.016 of the Finance Code; subject, however, to any right Lender subsequently may have under applicable law to change the method of determining the Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained herein, (a) the Maximum Rate shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; (b) in determining whether the interest hereunder exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate, the total amount of interest shall be spread throughout the entire term of this Agreement until its payment in full; (c) if at any time the interest rate chargeable under this Agreement would exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest payable under this Agreement to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reductions in the interest rate(s) shall not reduce the rate of interest charged under this Agreement below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued from and after the date of this Agreement equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if the interest rate(s) had at all times been in effect; (d) if Lender ever charges or receives anything of value which is deemed to be interest under applicable Texas law, and if the occurrence of any event, including acceleration of maturity of obligations owing to Lender, should cause such interest to exceed the maximum lawful amount, any amount which exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of all Loans under this Agreement or any other indebtedness owed to Lender by Borrower, and if this Agreement and such other indebtedness are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the applicable Borrower; and (e) Chapter 346 of the Finance Code shall not be applicable to this Agreement or the indebtedness outstanding hereunder.

3.9 Set off. While a Default exists, Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply (a) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by Lender (or its Affiliates) and (b) any other Debt at any time owing by Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Company, against the Obligation even if Lender has not made demand under this Agreement and the Obligation is unmatured. Lender agrees to promptly notify the applicable Company after any such set off and application is made; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of Lender under this Section 3.9 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) that Lender may have.

3.10 Debit Account. Borrower agrees that the interest and principal payments and any fees will be deducted automatically on the due date from such of Borrower’s accounts with Lender as designated in writing by Borrower. This authorization shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to pay such sums when due, without notice, if there are insufficient funds in such account to make such payment in full on the due date thereof, or if Lender fails to debit such account.

(a) Lender and each Company agree (i) that all Insurance Proceeds shall be paid by the insurers directly to Lender (as loss payee or additional insured), and (ii) to cause all Eminent Domain Proceeds to be paid by the condemning Governmental Authority directly to Lender.

(b) If any Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds are paid to any Company, such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be received only in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of the Companies and shall promptly be paid over to Lender in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.10, reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Company may be paid directly to the Person who incurred the liability, cost, or expense covered by such insurance.

Because Borrower agrees that Lender’s remedies at Law for failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.14 would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, Borrower agrees that the covenants of this Section 8.14 may be specifically enforced.

9.7 Assignment. No Company may assign or transfer any of its rights, duties or obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

9.8 Fiscal Year and Accounting Methods. No Company may change its fiscal year or its method of accounting (other than immaterial changes in methods or as required by GAAP).

Except in accordance with its terms, any Loan Document at any time after its execution and delivery (a) ceases to be in effect in any material respect or is declared by a Governmental Authority to be null and void, or (b) its validity or enforceability is contested by a Company or a Company denies that it has any further liability or obligations under any Loan Document.

11.8 Swap Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 11.2(b) above, any Company breaches any provision of any Swap Agreement and the breach is not cured or waived within any applicable grace period.

11.9 Change of Management. (a) A Change of Management occurs or (b) an agreement, letter of intent, or agreement in principle is executed which by its terms will result in a Change of Management.

11.10 Ownership of Other Companies. Borrower fails to own, beneficially and of record, with power to vote, 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, partnership interests or other equity interests of any Subsidiary that has executed a Loan Document (except as a result of a transaction permitted by this Agreement).

11.11 Material Adverse Event. A Material Adverse Event exists.

SECTION 12 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

12.1 Remedies Upon Default.

(a) If a Default exists under Section 11.3, the Commitment under this Agreement automatically terminates and the unpaid balance of the Obligation automatically becomes due and payable without any action of any kind.

(b) If a Default exists, Lender may do any one or more of the following: (i) if the maturity of the Obligation has not already been accelerated under Section 12.1(a), declare the unpaid balance of the Obligation immediately due and payable and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Obligation shall accrue interest at the Default Rate; (ii) terminate the Commitment; (iii) reduce any claim to judgment; (iv) exercise the rights of set-off or banker’s Lien under Section 3.9 to the extent of the full amount of the Obligation; (v) require Borrower to Cash Collateralize all LC Exposure; and (vi) exercise any and all other legal or equitable rights afforded by the Loan Documents, the Laws of the State of Texas, or any other applicable jurisdiction.

12.2 Waivers. To the extent permitted by Law, each Company waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration and notice of protest and nonpayment, and agrees that its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any part of the Obligation, by any indulgence, or by any release or change in any security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligation.

12.3 No Waiver. No waiver of any Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Default. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right under the Loan Documents will impair that right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The acceptance by Lender of any partial payment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default then existing.

12.4 Performance by Lender. If any covenant, duty or agreement of any Company is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Lender may, but is not obligated to, perform or attempt to perform that covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of that Company (and any amount expended by Lender in its performance or attempted performance is payable on demand, becomes part of the Obligation, and bears interest at the Default Rate from the date of Lender’s expenditure until paid).

12.5 Cumulative Rights. All rights available to Lender under the Loan Documents are cumulative of, and in addition to, all other rights granted at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation is due and payable and whether or not Lender has instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.

SECTION 13 MISCELLANEOUS.

13.1 Governing Law. Each Loan Document (other than the Deed of Trust) must be construed, and its performance enforced, under Texas law.

13.2 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.3 Multiple Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures. Each Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same instrument. Loan Documents may be transmitted and signed by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) and shall have the same effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Companies and Lender.

13.4 Notice. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or consents required under this Agreement shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, or sent by facsimile. Notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or 5 days after properly addressed, sealed and deposited in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (b) if faxed, when transmitted, or (c) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered. Until changed by notice pursuant to this Agreement, the addresses and facsimile numbers for each party is set out on Schedule 1. Lender shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified in this Section, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified in this Section, or (ii) the terms of the notice, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation of the notice. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and its Affiliates and representatives from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower except to the extent of the Lender’s and its Affiliates gross negligence or willful misconduct relating to reliance and action upon any such notices. All telephonic notices to and other communications with Lender may be recorded by Lender, and each of the parties to this Agreement hereby consents to such recording.

13.5 Binding Effect; Survival. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Unless otherwise provided, all covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made in any of the Loan Documents survive and continue in effect as long as the Commitment is in effect or the Obligation is outstanding.

13.6 Amendments. The Loan Documents may be amended, modified, supplemented or be the subject of a waiver only by a writing executed by Lender and Borrower.

13.7 Participants. Lender may, at any time, sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the Obligation; provided that, (a) Lender remains the holder of the Principal Amount, (b) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement remain unchanged and Lender remains solely responsible for the performance of those obligations, and (c) each Company continues to deal solely and directly with Lender regarding the Loan Documents. Lender may furnish any information concerning the Companies in its possession from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants), provided that, to the extent applicable, such information is subject to the terms of Section 13.12 hereof.

13.8 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Each Company’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect until the aggregate Commitment is terminated and the Obligation is paid in full (except for provisions under the Loan Documents which by their terms expressly survive payment of the Obligation and termination of the Loan Documents). If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by any Company or any other obligor on the Obligation under any Loan Document is rescinded or must be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, the obligations of each Company under the Loan Documents with respect to that payment shall be reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at that time.

13.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. Borrower and Lender irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim. This provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

13.10 Indemnity. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, Borrower, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its Affiliates and representatives (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substance on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Company, or any liability in respect of any Environmental Law related in any way to Borrower, or any other Company, or (iv) any actual or prospective Litigation, claim, or investigation relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligation.

13.11 ENTIRETY. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

13.12 Confidentiality. Lender may not disclose to any Person any material non-public information that is now or in the future required to be furnished to Lender under the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Confidential Information”) without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors, (b) prospective assignees or Participants, field auditors, appraisers and valuation consultants, or other third parties engaged to assist Lender in connection with its monitoring or evaluation of the Borrower’s collateral, credit quality, or financial covenant compliance, (c) as required by any Laws or judicial process, (d) in connection with any Litigation to which the Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a party with notice to the Borrower, (e) in connection with any right or remedy under any Loan Document or (f) as such information has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this clause by the Lender or any other Person to whom the Lender has provided such information as permitted by this Section; provided that, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Laws, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of any disclosure under clause (c) and shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower to the extent the Borrower seeks to obtain confidential treatment of such Confidential Information.

13.13 Non-Business Days. Any payment or action that is due under any Loan Document on a non-Business Day may be delayed until the next-succeeding Business Day.
