Each Lender will make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.7 , which will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline Loan.
     (d) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender. If such Swingline Loan bears interest at a rate other than the Base Rate, such Swingline Loan shall automatically become a Base Rate Loan on the effective date of any such participation and interest shall become payable on demand.
     (e) Each Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or to purchase the participating interests pursuant to Section 2.4(d ) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of any event or condition which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening

In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund the amount of such Lender’s participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to fund pursuant to this Section 2.4 , until such amount has been purchased in full.

Each Agent Advance shall be deemed to be a Borrowing hereunder subject to the terms set forth in this Section 2.5 (provided that the Borrowers shall not be deemed to have made any representations under Section 3.2(b) in connection therewith). Each Agent Advance shall be secured by Administrative Agent’s Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest as Base Rate Borrowings and shall be repayable on demand. Subject to clauses (b), (c) and (d) below of this Section 2.5 , all Agent Advances made by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, shall be for Administrative Agent’s sole account and shall be senior in right of payment to all other Loans (as set forth in Section 2.24 ).

On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent. If any such Agent Advance bears interest at a rate other than the Base Rate, such Agent Advance shall automatically become a Base Rate Loan on the effective date of any such participation and interest shall become payable on demand.

     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing in which such Lender is to participate that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers (to the extent they received such amount) shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent within 3 Business Days together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing (but without any amounts being due under Section 2.20 ). Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
     (c) All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

- 45 -


 

reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount less than the outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount below the sum of the principal amount of the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment shall result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment.
     (c) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) the Borrowers may terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole.

The entries made in such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     (b) At the request of any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) at any time, the Borrowers agree that they will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note and, in the case of the Swingline Lender only, a Swingline Note, payable to the order of such Lender.

Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.14(e ); provided , that if a Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, no such prepayment shall be in an amount of less than $500,000 and the Borrowers shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.20 with respect thereto. Each partial prepayment of any Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2 or in the case of a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.4 . Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.
          Section 2.13Mandatory Prepayments.
     (a) Immediately upon receipt by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of proceeds of any sale or disposition by the Borrowers or such Subsidiary of any of its assets (excluding (i) sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, including all sales and transfers of Petroleum Products under the Marketing Agreement , (ii) sales of obsolete equipment, (iii) sales of assets the proceeds of which are invested into the businesses of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries within 180 days after such assets are sold and (iv) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other sales of assets of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries with an aggregate book value not to exceed $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year) the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by such Borrowers in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates). Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (c) below.
     (b) If the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries issues any debt or equity securities (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.1 , equity securities issued by a Subsidiary of a Borrower to another Borrower or another Subsidiary) then no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.13(c) .
     (c) Any prepayments made by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) or (b) above shall be applied as follows: first, to Administrative Agent’s fees and reimbursable

- 47 -


 

expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all other fees and reimbursable expenses of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of such fees and expenses; third , to interest then due and payable on the Loans made to Borrowers, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitments; fourth , to the principal balance of the Swingline Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, to the Swingline Lender; fifth , to the principal balance of the Revolving Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitments; sixth , to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.23(g) in an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon and seventh , to the Cash Collateral Account. The Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall not be permanently reduced by the amount of any prepayments made pursuant to clauses fourth and fifth above.
     (d) If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, as reduced pursuant to Section 2.9 or otherwise, the Borrowers shall immediately repay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due under Section 2.20 . Each prepayment shall be applied first to the Swingline Loans to the full extent thereof, second to the Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof, and finally to Eurodollar Loans to the full extent thereof. If after giving effect to prepayment of all Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to such excess plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon to be held as collateral for the LC Exposure. Such account shall be administered in accordance with Section 2.23(g) hereof.
          Section 2.14Interest on Loans.
     (a) The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate in effect from time to time and on each Eurodollar Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan, plus , in each case, the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.
     (b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan at the Swingline Rate in effect from time to time.

- 48 -


 

     (d) Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, as the case may be. Interest on all outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period in excess of three months or 90 days, respectively, on each day which occurs every three months or 90 days, as the case may be, after the initial date of such Interest Period, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable on the maturity date of such Loan, which shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.
     (e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
     (f) The Base Rate on the date hereof is 8.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.50% per annum with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan. The Swingline Rate on the date hereof is 8.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.50% per annum with respect to Swingline Loans.
          Section 2.15Fees.
     (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times agreed upon in the Fee Letter.
     (b) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Percentage per annum (determined daily in accordance with Schedule I ) on the daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the Availability Period. For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure, but not Swingline Exposure, of such Lender.
     (c) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in effect on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is drawn in full (including without limitation any LC Exposure that remains outstanding after the Revolving

- 49 -


 

Commitment Termination Date) and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the Availability Period (or until the date that such Letter of Credit is irrevocably cancelled, whichever is later), as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders elect to increase the interest rate on the Loans to the Default Interest pursuant to Section 2.14(c) , the rate per annum used to calculate the letter of credit fee pursuant to clause (i) above shall automatically be increased by an additional 2% per annum.
     (d) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, the upfront fee previously agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, which shall be due and payable on the Closing Date.
     (e) Accrued fees under paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 31, 2006 and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (and if later, the date the Loans and LC Exposure shall be repaid in their entirety); provided further , that any such fees accruing after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand.
     (f) The Borrowers shall pay audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as follows (each of which shall be for the sole benefit of the applicable Agent relating thereto): (i) a fee of $850 per day, per auditor, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each financial audit of Borrowers performed by personnel employed by the Administrative Agent, (ii) if implemented, a fee of $850 per day, per applicable individual, plus out-of-pocket expenses for the establishment of electronic collateral reporting systems, (iii) a fee of $850 per day per appraiser, plus out-of-pocket expenses, for each appraisal or field audit of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, performed by personnel employed by the Collateral Agent, and (iv) the actual reasonable charges paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable (for the sole benefit of such Agents) if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform financial audits of Borrowers or a Subsidiary, to establish electronic collateral reporting systems, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess a Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ business valuation; provided , however , that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall only be obligated to pay for fees and expenses incurred for financial and/or field audits conducted no more frequently than three (3) times per calendar year in the aggregate (it being understood that simultaneously conducted financial and field audits shall be considered as a single audit for purposes of the foregoing limitation).
          Section 2.16Computation of Interest and Fees.
     All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days elapsed). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest amount or

- 50 -


 

fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.
          Section 2.17Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing,
     (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or
     (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender, as the case may be) of making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as the case may be) Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. In the case of Eurodollar Loans, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrowers prepay such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before the date of any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for which a Notice of Revolving Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, then such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.
          Section 2.18Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date (provided that no amount shall be due under Section 2.20 in connection therewith). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

          Section 2.19Increased Costs.
     (a) If any Change in Law shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
     (ii) impose on any Lender or on the Issuing Bank or the Eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;
and the result of either of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in or issuing any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrowers shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender on the Borrowers (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within 20 calendar days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
     (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital (or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt by the Borrowers of written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.
     (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.19 shall be delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay any such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such amount or amounts within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt thereof.

- 52 -


 

     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided Borrowers shall have no obligation to pay any such amounts with respect to any period which was more than 120 days prior to the date of such notice.
          Section 2.20Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrowers to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which the Borrowers failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.20 submitted to the Borrowers by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
          Section 2.21Taxes.
     (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided , that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.21 ) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

- 53 -


 

     (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.21 ) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.21(c) , the Borrowers shall not be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank for any portion of such penalties, interest and reasonable expenses to the extent such liability is attributable to a failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in making demand for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.
     (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
     (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received from the Borrowers hereunder are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form thereto, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payment to the Foreign Lender qualifies as “portfolio interest” exempt from U.S. withholding tax under Code section 871(h) or 881(c), and (B) stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder is not, with respect to such Foreign Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of any Borrower within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and (3) the Foreign Lender is

- 54 -


 

not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to a Borrower within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(C); or (iv) such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be applicable to the Foreign Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP. Each such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such forms on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each such Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at any time that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the Internal Revenue Service for such purpose).
     (f) Upon the Borrowers’ reasonable request, each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) to establish that such Lender is entitled to receive all payments from the Borrowers hereunder free and clear from withholding of United States federal income Tax.
     (g) If the Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or required to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.21(c) and if the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank may be entitled to a refund which is attributable to the imposition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the payment of additional amounts or an indemnification payment, then the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use its best effort to obtain the refund by filing any forms, certificates, documents, applications or returns in a timely fashion. In the event that the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank receives a refund in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been paid additional amounts by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.21(c) , then the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such refund.
          Section 2.22Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
     (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.19 , 2.20 or 2.21 , or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.19 , 2.20 and 2.21 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall

distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
     (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
     (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided , that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount or amounts due. In such event,

- 56 -


 

if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
     (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.4(d), 2.7(b), 2.22(d),2.23(d ) or (e ) or 10.3(d ), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
          Section 2.23Letters of Credit.
     (a) During the Availability Period, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.23(d ), agrees to issue, at the request of the Borrowers, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; provided , that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (A) the stated expiry date of such Letter of Credit (or in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, the expiry date of any such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a stated amount of at least $1,000,000; and (iii) the Borrowers may not request any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance (A) the aggregate LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or (B) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount or the Borrowing Base. Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.
     (b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III , the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Issuing Bank shall approve and that the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments

- 57 -


 

relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require; provided, that in the event of any conflict between such applications, agreements or instruments and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
     (c) At least two Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received such notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent on or before 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit (1) directing the Issuing Bank not to issue the Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because of the limitations set forth in Section 2.23(a ) or that one or more conditions specified in Article III are not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.
     (d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided , that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrowers shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursements paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any kind. Unless the Borrowers shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrowers intend to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than from the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Borrowing on the date on which such drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided , that for purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 hereof shall not be applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3 , and each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.7 . The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement .
     (e) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such Lender purchased pursuant to subsection (a) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such LC Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. Each Lender’s obligation to fund its participation shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or

- 58 -


 

any other Person may have against the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries , (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrowers or any other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. On the date that such participation is required to be funded, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has received from any such Lender the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment; provided , that if such payment is required to be returned for any reason to the Borrowers or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official in any bankruptcy proceeding, such Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to it.
     (f) To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (d) above on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate; provided , that if such Lender shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within three (3) Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 2.14(d) .
     (g) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided , that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1 . Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Borrowers agree to execute any documents and/or certificates to effectuate the intent of this paragraph. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it had not been reimbursed and to the extent so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, with the consent of

- 59 -


 

the Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not so applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
          (h) Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, the Issuing Bank shall deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrowers a report describing the aggregate Letters of Credit outstanding at the end of such Fiscal Quarter. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.
          (i) The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following circumstances:
     (i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;
     (ii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;
     (iii) Any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
     (iv) Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document to the Issuing Bank that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
     (v) Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23 , constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or
     (vi) The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.
Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related Party of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication

- 60 -


 

under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided , that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any actual direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect (including claims for lost profits or other consequential damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise due care when determining whether drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree, that in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised due care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
     (j) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be amended from time to time, or to ISP 98 (International Standby Practices), as the same may be amended from time to time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law of this Agreement set forth in Section 10.5 .
          Section 2.24Application of Payments.
     (a) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24(b) below, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first , to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers, second , to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third , as the Borrowers so designate. Payments in respect of Swingline Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swingline Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuing Bank as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
     (b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding Section 2.24(a) above, the Administrative Agent may and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations, shall apply

- 61 -


 

all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:
     (i) first, to pay interest on and the principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers;
     (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (except with respect to Banking Relationship Debt) then due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent;
     (iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (except with respect to Banking Relationship Debt) then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank;
     (iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees (except with respect to Banking Relationship Debt) then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Bank;
     (v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and LC Exposure and fees due to any Lender;
     (vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and LC Exposure, to provide cash collateral for the LC Exposure in the manner described in Section 2.23(g) ( provided, however, that upon the expiration or termination of a Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.24(b) ), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans and LC Exposure;
     (vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of Obligations owing with respect to Banking Relationship Debt; and
     (viii) eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii) , (iii) , (iv) , (v) , (vi), (vii) and (viii) above the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligations (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Agents’ and each Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided , however , that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Agent Advances and Swingline Loans pro rata and then to the Lenders.
          Section 2.25Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation underSection 2.19, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office

- 62 -


 

for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.19 or Section 2.21 , as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.
               Section 2.26 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.19, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority of the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21 , or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent delivered within 30 days after the request for compensation or payment or the default by such Lender, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4(b) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) within 60 days after receipt of such notice, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.21 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
               Section 2.27 Agent Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Delek Refining, and Delek Refining agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower Agent”), including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from an Agent. The Agents may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for a Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, whether in its own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “Borrowers,” and no Agent shall have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such request for a Borrowing, Notice of Conversion Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 2.27 shall not be construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions

- 63 -


 

permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. The Administrative Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of “Delek Refining” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.
               Section 2.28 Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
          (a) Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that the Agents and the Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.
          (b) Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Loan Party or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by an Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to an Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations or an Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) an Agent’s or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Loan Party for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of an Agent’s or any Lender’s claims against any other Loan Party for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Loan Party, against any or all of the Loan

- 64 -


 

Parties to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Loan Party or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under applicable law that might otherwise require an Agent to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or a Loan Party before pursuing another Loan Party . Each Borrower consents and agrees that no Agent shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
          (c) No payment or payments made by a Loan Party or received or collected by an Agent from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and this Agreement is terminated.
          (d) Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation Payment”), then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower being referred to as a “Contributing Borrower”) shall be obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A) the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder); provided , however , that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be 1; provided , however , that such percentages shall be modified in the event that contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.
          (e) Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Loan Party , and any successor or assign of any other Loan Party , including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the full and indefeasible payment of all of the Obligations.

                Section 7.13Accounting Changes. The Borrowers will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, make any significant change in accounting treatment or reporting practices, except as required by GAAP, or change the fiscal year of the Borrowers or of any of their Subsidiaries, except to change the fiscal year of a Subsidiary to conform its fiscal year to that of the Borrowers.

- 93 -


 

                Section 9.2Nature of Duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that either Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2 ), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2 ) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to an Agent by the Borrowers or any Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to an Agent.

                Section 9.3Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
                Section 9.4Certain Rights of the Agents. If an Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including

- 94 -


 

the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against either Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.
                Section 9.5Reliance by Agents.

The Agents may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by them and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
                Section 9.6The Agents in their Individual Capacity. Any bank or other financial institution serving as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not an Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their individual capacities. Any bank acting as an Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
                Section 9.7Successor Agents.
          (a) An Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrowers provided that no Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or a bank or a commercial finance lender which maintains an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.7 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45 th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective,

- 95 -


 

(ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as an Agent.
                Section 9.8Authorization to Execute other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other than this Agreement.
                Section 9.9Documentation Agent; Syndication Agent.

          (a) No failure or delay by an Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Agents or any Lender , shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2 , and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether an Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.
          (b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or the Borrowers and the Agents with the consent of the Required Lenders and then

such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.22(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby , without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2 , Section 2.24 , Section 5.19 or the definitions of “Availability Reserve”, “Borrowing Base”, Pro Rata Share” or “Required Lenders” (or other defined terms used in such definitions) in a manner more favorable to the Borrowers or any other provisions hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any guarantor or limit the liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty agreement, without the written consent of each Lender; (vii) enforce the Administrative Agent’s rights under the Pledge Agreement, without the consent of each Lender; (viii) release a material portion of the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement or agree to subordinate any Lien in the Collateral to any other creditor of a Borrower or any Subsidiary, without the written consent of each Lender; or (ix) consent or agree to any material amendment to the Subordination Agreement without the consent of each Lender; provided further , that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of an Agent, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Person. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrowers and the Agents) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19 , 2.20 , 2.21 and 10.3 ), such Lender shall no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.
          (c) Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to honor requests by the Borrowers for Out-of-Formula Loans (in which event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Lenders shall continue to make Revolving Loans up to their respective Revolving Commitment) and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula Condition, (1) when no Default exists (or if a Default exists, when the existence of such Default is not known by the Administrative Agent), if and for so long as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition does not continue for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, following which no Out-of-Formula Condition exists for at least 15 consecutive days before another Out-of-Formula Condition exists, (ii) the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at any time does not exceed the aggregate of the Revolving Commitments at such time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by the Administrative Agent at the time in question to exceed $10,000,000; and (2) regardless of

- 99 -


 

whether or not an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers the existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist or if any Out-of-Formula Condition exists by reason of the making of any Agent Advance, the Lenders shall be obligated to continue making such Revolving Loans as directed by the Administrative Agent only (A) if the amount of the Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $7,500,000 above the amount determined by the Administrative Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for a period not to exceed 5 Business Days; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount of all such Out-of-Formula Loans exceed $15,000,000. In no event shall the Borrowers or any other Loan Party be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 10.2(c) or authorized to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 10.2(c) .
          (d) Each Lender grants to the Administrative Agent the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, LC Commitment, the Loans and LC Exposure owing to it and the Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at a price equal to the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans and LC Exposure owed to such Lender (together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees owed to such Lender), which right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent if such Lender refuses to execute any amendment, waiver or consent which requires the written consent of all Lenders and to which the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrowers have agreed. Each Lender agrees that if the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and other agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment. The Administrative Agent may assign its purchase rights hereunder to any assignee if such assignment complies with the requirements of Section 10.4(b) .

Schedule 4.5 — Litigation and Environmental Matters
     Unless otherwise stated in this Schedule 4.5, the capitalized terms in this Schedule 4.5, and only this Schedule 4.5, are defined as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Schedule 4.5(a)
     1. The refinery has registered its solid and hazardous waste management activities with the TCEQ and EPA. The refinery is registered as a RCRA treatment and storage facility and has classified and registered twenty-six active (or closure pending) and additional inactive and closed SWMUs at the site. In 1988, the refinery received a RCRA hazardous waste management permit (Permit No. HW-50062-000), which was renewed in 1998. The renewal permit contained provisions for management, closure, and post-closure care of four hazardous waste management units (Old Sludge Drying Bed, New Sludge Drying Bed, Aeration Basin, and Stormwater Containment Basin). Seller received closure certification for the Old Sludge Drying Bed and New Sludge Drying Bed in 1999. The permit also contains requirements for corrective actions related to seventeen SWMUs and has been amended to incorporate the groundwater compliance plan for the site (CP-50062-000) issued by the TNRCC on April 30, 1999, and a Class 3 Compliance Plan modification issued by the TCEQ on Jan. 9, 2004.
     2. Since 1985, Seller has conducted numerous investigations of soil, groundwater and surface water at the refinery and beyond refinery property. These investigations have identified a widespread area of the subsurface that is contaminated with free-phase and dissolved-phase hydrocarbons. Seller suspects that the source of this contamination was old underground product transfer piping at the site. Currently, more than ninety-five percent of product transfer piping at the site has been moved to aboveground, thereby minimizing the suspected primary source of subsurface contamination at the refinery. The contamination at the site has migrated off the refinery property to the north and historically seeped into the creek and tributary east and west of the site. Beginning in 1987, La Gloria began installing and operating recovery wells to capture groundwater contaminated with free-phase and dissolved hydrocarbons.
     3. In 1989, Seller entered into an Agreed Order with the TWC which required Seller to undertake certain investigations and remedial actions related to a 1988 compliance inspection. This Agreed Order resulted in the following projects: (i) the installation of an On-site Subsurface Hydrocarbon Recovery System; (ii) the investigation of three off-site properties and installation of an Off-site Subsurface Hydrocarbon Recovery System (see further discussion below); (iii) an Aboveground Piping Project in which underground hydrocarbon piping was replaced with aboveground piping; (iv) a Plant-wide Soil Investigation including twenty-two areas of contaminated soil throughout the plant (see RFI discussion below); and (v) an upgrade of the plant wastewater systems. The plant wastewater systems upgrade has been completed and is in operation.
     4. Under the 1989 Agreed Order with the TWC and subsequently under the RCRA groundwater compliance plan for the site, the recovery system has been expanded. As of February 2005, there were 304 monitoring wells and 134 recovery wells being used to monitor and remediate the groundwater contamination at the refinery.

 


 

     5. In 2001, the TCEQ approved the multi-phased RFI that Seller began at the refinery in 1991 The RFI concluded that the site-wide free-phase hydrocarbon plume beneath site was the source of contamination in a majority of SWMUs and that investigation and remediation separate from what was being implemented for site-wide groundwater was not necessary. Several SWMUs at the refinery were identified as requiring further investigation and corrective actions because contamination in these, areas was inconsistent with the contamination in site-wide groundwater. In addition, a free-phase. hydrocarbon plume was identified to be migrating onto the refinery property from a former terminal operation (not owned by Seller) located adjacent to the southern refinery property boundary (upgradient) The terminal owner (Strasburger Enterprises) had installed and operated a remediation system to address this contamination, however the system is no longer in operation.
     6. In September 2001, Seller submitted to the TCEQ a revised strategy for addressing the soil and groundwater contamination present at the site under the TRRP. Under this program, Seller plans to address remediation of soil within the various SWMUs identified in the RFI. in addition, Seller plans to establish a PMZ in which the free-phase and dissolved-phase plume must be contained. Recently, Seller acquired some of the property (Roosth property, Lewis/Haynes property, and Cooper Cameron property) north of the refinery onto which the plume has migrated Also, Seller has established an access agreement for the Rudman properties. On June 26, 2002, Seller completed the installation of a 600-feet slurry wall along Tributary “D” on the Roosth property. Seller expects that additional containment devices (slurry walls) may also be necessary to supplement the existing recovery system and plans to conduct ongoing monitoring to demonstrate that the contamination is not migrating beyond the PMZ. On May 23, 2002, the TCEQ approved Seller’s application for a Class 3 Compliance Plan Modification, which contains the revised remediation strategy for the site.
     7. A more detailed summary of investigations, remedial actions, and ongoing RFI activities relevant to each area of the site is provided below (general descriptions of these areas are described within the disclosures under Schedule 4.5(b)):
          7.1 Aeration Basin: In 1991, four soil borings were installed downgradient of the Aeration Basin unit. The samples identified organic compounds in soil; however, the source of this contamination was not determined since the entire area was underlain by the free product plume. In 1992, Seller drained and removed the sludge from each basin and, in 1994, the TNRCC certified that this unit was no longer used to manage hazardous waste. Under the Hazardous Waste Permit, Compliance Plan, and 1989 Agreed Order for the refinery, Seller conducts routine groundwater monitoring downgradient of this unit. Also, as required in the RCRA permit for the site, in 2002, Seller has financial assurance instruments in place to .cover costs related to closure and post-closure care for this unit.
          7.2 Stormwater Containment Basin: A total of six soil borings and twenty-six soil samples were obtained from this area and six groundwater monitoring wells were constructed in the borings placed on the eastern and western sides of the basin during the RFI. This investigation identified confined areas of shallow soil contaminated with hydrocarbons and metals. The RFI recommended further investigation to better delineate the contamination. In 1994, the TNRCC certified that this unit was no longer used to manage hazardous waste. In March 2002, Seller received TCEQ approval to remove the Stormwater Containment Basin as a

 


 

SWMU to be addressed under the RFI. This unit will be addressed under the RCRA permit and Compliance Plan. Seller is required to continue to conduct groundwater monitoring downgradient of this unit as part of the Compliance Plan for the refinery. As required in the RCRA permit for the site, Seller has financial assurance instruments in place to cover approximately the closure and post-closure care for this unit.
          7.3 SWMU No. 01 — Landfill (Catalyst): A total of fifteen soil borings and eighty soil samples were obtained from this area, and three groundwater monitoring wells were placed downgradient of this area during the RFI. This investigation identified confined areas of shallow soil contaminated with hydrocarbons and metals. The RFI recommended further investigation to better delineate the contamination. In addition, the RFI investigation in the area identified a plume of hydrocarbon contamination migrating into this area of the refinery property from an offsite upgradient terminal operation not owned by Seller. This plume has been delineated and a groundwater remediation system was installed and paid for by the TCEQ Underground Storage Tank Fund; however, the remediation system is no longer in operation. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with two samples from each) will be necessary to delineate the contamination in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an affected property report (APAR) for each unit is in progress.
          7.4 SWMU No. 06 — Container Storage Area: A total of eight soil borings and forty-nine soil samples were obtained from this area, and two existing groundwater monitoring wells downgradient of this area were sampled during the RFI. This investigation concluded that hydrocarbon contamination was present in the top two feet of the southeastern portion of the area. The RFI recommended further investigation to better delineate the contamination. In addition, the RFI investigation in the area identified a plume of hydrocarbon contamination migrating into this area of the refinery property from an offsite upgradient terminal operation not owned by Seller. This plume has been delineated and is currently being remediated by the owner of the terminal. The RCRAFaci1ity Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with three samples from each) will be necessary to delineate the contamination in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
          7.5 SWMU C — Upper Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): In May 1990, Seller removed sludges and contaminated soils that were within the upper pond in anticipation of closing this unit. A total of approximately 4,000 cubic yards of stabilized waste was removed from the pond and sent to an off-site disposal facility. In August 1990, Seller completed eleven soil borings within and on the pond dikes. During the RFI, four additional soil borings were completed and fifteen soil samples were obtained from this unit. The results of these investigations indicated that confined shallow areas associated with the two former pond spillways were contaminated with hydrocarbons and metals. The ReRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management,

 


 

submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that the low-level contamination remaining in this area does not exceed applicable PCL’s for the site, and that no additional soil remediation related to this unit is required to close it under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
          7.6 SWMU E — Lower Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): In May 1990, Seller removed sludges and contaminated soils that were within the lower pond in anticipation of closing this unit. A total of approximately 4,000 cubic yards of stabilized waste was removed from the pond and sent to an off-site disposal facility. In August 1990, Seller completed nine soil borings within and on the pond dikes. During the RFI, three additional soil borings were completed and thirteen soil samples were obtained from this unit. The results of these investigations indicated that a confined area within and southwest of the dike area (correlating to the former location of the spillway) was contaminated with hydrocarbons and metals. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in Septerrtoer 2001, concludes that two soil borings (with two samples from each) will be necessary to delineate the contamination in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard A. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
          7.7 SWMU F — Landfills (24 Tank Bottom Pits): In 1989, Seller conducted a preliminary investigation of the tank bottom pits, collecting 634 soil samples from thirty-one suspected pit locations. This investigation confirmed the locations of twenty-one tank bottom pits. The RFI expanded on the data collected in 1989 through the completing of seventy additional soil borings at the suspected tank bottom pit sites, downgradient of the pit sites, and in a firewall suspected of containing tank-bottom material. The RFI concluded that a total of twenty-four tank-bottom pits were present within the tank-farm area. Although eight of the pits were fully delineated, the RFI recommended further investigation to delineate the extent of contamination at the remainder of the pit sites. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that twenty to twenty-five soil borings (with one sample from each) will be necessary to delineate the contamination in these pit areas. It also recommends that the areas should be remediated via hot spot removal and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
          7.8 SWMU H — Landspreading Area: This area was investigated as part of the RFI because sludges or leaded tank bottoms allegedly were spread in this area. Twenty-two samples were collected from five soil borings in the area. Based on this data, the RFI concluded that there was no evidence that there was any impact in this area from historic operations. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
          7.9 SWMU I — Sandpit: This area was investigated as part of the RFI to determine if oil/dirt production in this area led to contamination. Twenty-three soil samples were collected from the area. Based on this data, the RFI concluded that there was no evidence

 


 

that there was any impact in this area from historic operations. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
          7.10 SWMU K — Oil/Dirt Production Area: This area was investigated to determine if process sludges were used historically in the production of oil/dirt in the area. During the RFI, ten additional soil borings were completed and forty-six soil samples were obtained from this unit. Based on this data, the RFI concluded that contamination in this area was limited to the surface and was consistent with that expected from residual oil/dirt rather than process waste. In addition, the RFI included an analysis of sample data from several locations around the refinery where oil/dirt had been used as a construction material and stabilizing agent. This analysis concluded that, although residual oil/dirt remains in this and other areas of the refinery, there was no evidence that there was any impact from the application of the oil/dirt within the plant. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
          7.11 SWMU M — Stormwater Basin Sludge Storage Area: In 1989, all of the waste present in this area was excavated and disposed of in an appropriate offsite disposal facility. During the RFI, a total of eight soil borings and thirty soil samples were obtained from this area. Based on this data, the RFI concluded that there was no evidence that there was any impact in this area from historic operations. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that two to three soil borings (with three sample from each) may be required if the TCEQ requests further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies contaminated areas, and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard A. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
          7.12 SWMU N — API Separators, Sumps, Sewer System, and Ditches: Between 1991 and 1994, Seller completed an upgrade of the refinery wastewater collection and treatment system. During the upgrade, a majority of the underground lines and junction boxes in the collection system were replaced. In addition, an emergency sump and oil reclamation/storage facilities were removed from the area to make room for a new storm water surge tank. During the RFI, thirteen soil borings were completed and a total of sixty-six samples were analyzed to determine of the operation of these systems had impacted soil and groundwater. The areas around the splitter boxes within the collection system were found to have been impacted by organic compounds. The data also showed that the drainage ditch around the carbon-black loading dock was not impacted. The area around the collection box, API separators, emergency sump, and the oil reclamation/storage facilities were found to have a detectable impact, most likely resulting from overflows that occurred from these units prior to the renovation. The impact from these units extended from the surface to the saturated depth in some areas. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes

 


 

that five to six soil borings (with two sample from each) may be required if TNRCC requests further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should. be remediated via hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies contaminated areas, and. closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
           7.13 SWMU 0 — Coker Plant: During the RFI, forty-two soil borings were completed in the area and 109 samples were collected. Results of these samples showed that, although this area was not the .apparent source of the contamination, the free product plume at the site underlies the entire Coker Plant. The RFI concluded that the following other areas within this unit appear to be impacted with organics and metals:
    Portions of the area around abandoned equipment at the Old Coker Plant
 
    Areas related to the coke fines piles area
 
    Areas related with the railcar hopper at the New Coker Plant
 
    Areas around the pumps in the Coker Clarifier
 
    The top two feet of some areas near the Drain N. 30 Outfall area
 
    The top two feet of soil on the north side of the Coker Pond
          7.14 The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with two sample from each) may be required if the TCEQ requests further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies contaminated areas, and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
          7.15 SWMU P — Container Storage Area: During the RFI, three soil borings were completed in the area. Results of this investigation showed that soil in the former storage area and adjacent drainage ditch contained organic and metal contamination. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with two sample from each) may be required if the TCEQ requests further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should be remediated via hot spot removal, if additional sampling identifies contaminated areas, and closure under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
           7.16 SWMU Q — Process Storage Tanks: During the RFI, thirteen soil borings were completed in the area and fifty-six samples were collected. An impact from organic compounds was detected in all of the process tank areas investigated. The source of this contamination was not determined although the entire unit is located within the footprint of the

 


 

free product plume at the site. Metal contamination was also detected in the top two feet of soil in certain areas of the unit. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
          7.17 SWMU R — Landfill (Sulfuric Acid Pit): During the RFI, five soil borings were completed in the area and fifteen samples were collected. These samples indicated a release of acid from the pit that impacted soils to a depth of at least eight feet below the base of the pit in a confined area. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation is necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
           7.18 SWMU S — Container Storage Areas: During the RFI, five soil borings were completed in this unit and eighteen samples were collected. Samples from each of the areas investigated contained metal and/or organic compound contamination. The RCRAFacility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that four to five soil borings (with two sample from each) may be required if the TCEQ requires further confirmation/delineation in this area. It also recommends that the area should be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard B. The additional soil sampling and analyses have been completed and preparation of an APAR for each unit is in progress.
          7.19 SWMU T — Caustic Storage Area: During the RFI, eight soil borings were completed in this unit and eighteen samples were collected. All of the samples collected from this area contained elevated pH levels. Samples from each of the areas investigated contained metal and/or organic compound contamination. The most impacted areas were on the west and southwest sides of the unit, immediately adjacent to the former refinery pump house. The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, concludes that no additional investigation in necessary in this area for it to be closed under TRRP Remedy Standard A.
          7.20 Mercury Spill Area: In 1993, a line from an overflow reservoir on a manometer located at an outside wall at the electric shop broke, leading to the release of one to five pounds of elemental mercury. Soils in this area were impacted. Initial assessment and remediation activities were completed in this area and a report on the activity was submitted to the TNRCC in 1994. A second interim report detailing assessment, excavation, and disposal activities was submitted to the TNRCC in 1997. Based upon the findings of these reports, Seller was required to conduct additional investigation and remediation in the area. Additional sampling, analysis, excavation and disposal were conducted in 1997 and 1998 to remove all soils containing concentrations of mercury in excess of TRRP Standard No. 1. A final report on this remediation was submitted to the TNRCC in April 1998. Although no formal approval on this cleanup has been received from the TCEQ, Seller does not expect that future investigation or remediation is required related to this spill area.

 


 

          7.21 PCB Spill at Sub #2 South/Powell Switchgear: On April 8, 1999, approximately fourteen gallons of PCB oil were released from the Sub #2 transformer. The spill apparently migrated within the piping insulation into the underground electrical vaults. The soil and equipment impacted from this spill were remediated in April and May 1999, and measures were taken to prevent future spills. Twelve drums of PCB contaminated debris and approximately thirty-one tons of PCB contaminated soil generated during the cleanup were shipped to the Chemical Waste Management landfill in Emelle, Alabama. A report on this cleanup was sent to the TNRCC on May 25, 1999. Although no formal approval on this cleanup has been received from the TCEQ, Seller does not except that future investigation or remediation is required related to this spill area.
          7.22 Plume Management Zone: In 1989, La Gloria entered into an agreed order with TWC that required La Gloria to investigate and delineate the nature and extent of groundwater contamination at the site and to implement a system that would prevent further migration of free-phase or dissolved-phase contamination. In response to this agreed order, Seller also completed facility upgrades to replace the underground product lines that likely were the source of the contamination. La Gloria is currently operating 304 monitoring wells and 134 recovery wells to delineate and remediate groundwater contamination both on and downgradient of the refinery.
               7.22.1 In August 2002, Seller purchased the seven-acre portion of the Roosth property onto which the plume has migrated. In 2003, Seller acquired the Lewis/Haynes property north of the refinery onto which the plume has migrated. In April 2004 Seller purchased the Cooper Cameron property north of the refinery onto which the plume has migrated. Also, Seller has established an access agreement for the Rudman property for continued investigations, Seller is required to remediate these properties in accordance with the 1989 TWC Agreed Order and the RCRA Compliance Plan.
               7.22.2 The RCRA Facility Investigation Program Review and Recommendations for Unit Closures and Groundwater Management, submitted to the TCEQ in September 2001, recommends that a PMZ be established under the TRRP rules to address the remaining groundwater contamination and to prevent it from migrating into adjacent surface water bodies. Although, the TCEQ has not formally approved this strategy, Seller has been informed that the TCEQ favors such an approach. To proceed with this strategy, Seller purchased the Roosth, the Lewis/Haynes and Cooper Cameron properties.
               7.22.3 Under the TRRP PMZ approach., Seller also will be required to demonstrate that neither free-phase nor dissolved contaminants extend beyond the established PMZ. To accomplish this, Seller anticipates several modification to the existing groundwater monitoring and recovery system, which may also include the installation of additional slurry wall barriers. On June 26, 2002, Seller completed the installation of a 606-feet slurry wal1 along Tributary “D” on the Roosth property. Once the PMZ has been established, Seller will be required to continue to maintain the recovery facilities and conduct periodic monitoring to demonstrate that the plume is being been contained.
     8. In conjunction with the RCRA Part B permit, the refinery has a Compliance Plan No, CP-50062-000 issued by the TNRCC on April 30, 1999, and with modifications submitted in

 


 

2002. On May 23, 2002, the TCEQ approved Seller’s application for a Class 3 Compliance Plan Modification, which contains the revised remediation strategy for the site, and a Class 3 Compliance Plan modification issued by the TCEQ on Jan. 9, 2004.
     9. On September 19, 2002, Seller received a Notice of Deficiency from the TCEQ regarding its pending application for a Title V permit for the site. The deficiency specified that the refinery flares should be listed on OP-UA50 (NSPS J Refinery Sources), which means that TCEQ considers the flares to be subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 60 NSPS Subpart J. A final draft Title V permit with all requested revisions was. issued in February 2004. La Gloria completed required public notice and submitted a copy of all permit materials to the EPA for review. TCEQ issued the Clean Air Act Title V permit to La Gloria on May 6, 2004.
     10. NSPS J requires that all fuel gas, such as vent gas or off gas burned in a flare be less than 160 ppm H2S. La Gloria will install H2S analyzers on 4 process flares by May 9, 2005, as required in TCEQ Agreed Order in Docket No. 2004-0291-AIR-E.
     11. La Gloria obtained a Small Refiner Hardship Waiver from EPA’s gasoline sulfur standards through 2009, which sets forth conditions for compliance. On March 7, 2005, La Gloria submitted a report to EPA indicating that the sulfur content of gasoline produced during 2004 exceeded the corporate pool average standard and that certain batches of gasoline exceeded the cap-per-gallon standard established for the refinery. La Gloria acquired credits and allotments to achieve compliance with the corporate pool average standard for 2004. In addition, La Gloria will meet with EPA to discuss resolution of the non-compliant gasoline batches containing sulfur in excess of the cap-per-gallon, standard.
     12. Many of the Administrative Orders and Agreed Orders disclosed in Schedule 4.1(n) (b) required or require modifications and operational changes, with which Seller has complied or continues to comply.
     13. There are several current regulatory obligations that have future compliance dates that will result in remedial, removal, or response costs in the future. These obligations are described below:
          13.1 Seller is evaluating options for complying with the newly promulgated EPA regulations governing revisions of existing Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plans (SPCC) required by February 13, 2006. Compliance with revised SPCC regulations may require additional diking as well as other modifications.
          13.2 As required, by September 1, 2003, Seller submitted to the TCEQ air permit applications for three grandfathered units (2 for utility boilers and 1 for the LPG Truck Loading Area) at the refinery. The permits were issued on July 12, 2004 and August 11, 2004. La Gloria will file for a permit-by-rule (formerly designated a standard exemption) for other eligible units.
          13.3 La Gloria had received approval from the TCEQ to produce federal ultra-low sulfur diesel one year earlier than required (April 2005) in lieu of producing Texas low emission diesel (LED) in 2006. The TCEQ has extended the deadline for production of LED until October 1, 2005.

 


 

          13.4 The refinery is modifying certain equipment to meet the Refinery MACT II (NESHAPs for Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units) requirements issued in 2002. Required controls will entail scrubbing the platformer catalyst regenerator vent, installing continuous monitoring devices on the vent and conducting more performance testing among other things. La Gloria will complete these modifications and conduct the performance testing by April 11, 2005, and submit a complete test report to the TCEQ within 150 days thereafter.
     14. La Gloria was named a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) of the Shore Refining Superfund Site in Longview, Texas, first by TNRCC in 1995 and then by EPA in 1996. The 7.5-acre site was formerly a used oil refinery. Seller’s refinery is alleged to have disposed of tank-bottom waste at the site in 1981 and 1983. La Gloria and the other PRPs settled with EPA in 2001 and agreed to conduct a removal action to resolve their liability. La Gloria’s allocation was 5.5 percent of an estimated $1.1 million dollars to conduct the cleanup action. The removal action is now complete. The agreement requires the PRPs who settled to pay EPA’s oversight costs in overseeing the implementation of the remedy, and not all of those costs have been incurred yet. The Administrative Order on Consent does not release La Gloria from groundwater conditions should the state or EPA pursue a groundwater cleanup.
     15. Cooper Cameron Corporation Vs. La Gloria, No 6:97CV509 (E.D. Tex.). In 1998, Seller settled a lawsuit with Cooper Cameron Corporation which owned property directly north of the refinery, resolving a claim of alleged property damage. The settlement imposed some obligation on both parties. In April 2004, La Gloria purchased the Cooper Cameron property negating the obligations and access fees for ongoing groundwater remediation on the property. Asbestos containing materials are present in a former manufacturing building on-site.
     16. In 2002, Seller purchased the Haynes and Lewis property, northeast of the refinery resolving a claim of an alleged property damage that did not result in a lawsuit, by the Haynes and Lewis estate. Seller retains indemnity obligations under that purchase and sale agreement.
     17. In 2002, Seller purchased the Roosth property and retained certain indemnity obligations under the purchase and sale agreement.
     18. Robert Wayman, et al. v. International Truck & Engine, et al., District Court for Gregg County, Texas. Plaintiff alleges that he contracted renal cell carcinoma as a result of exposure to diesel fumes and other “carcinogenic petroleum products” at various premises, including La Gloria.
     19. Jimmy Joe Tyler, et al. v. A. C. & S., et al., District Court for Orange County, Texas. Plaintiff alleges that he was a boilermaker from 1944 to 1985, and that he contracted asbestos related disease from exposure to asbestos manufactured by some defendants and used on the premises of other defendants, including La Gloria.
     20. Ivory Wilson, et al. v Arco Chemical, et al., District Court for Jefferson County, Texas. Plaintiffs claim injuries related to asbestos exposure at La Gloria refinery. There are

 


 

approximately fourteen plaintiffs and approximately seventy-four defendants. Only one plaintiff, Howard Portwood, Sr., claims exposure at La Gloria’s facility.
     21. Faye B. Anderson, et al. v. Crown Central Petroleum Corp., et al., District Court for Harris County, Texas. Plaintiffs allege that they or their decedents are former La Gloria employees who were injured or killed due to exposure to chemicals during employment. There are approximately forty-eight employee-plaintiffs (along with numerous heirs and family members) and thirty-five defendants. The liability claims have all been settled, but certain workers’ compensation claims are still open.

 


 

Schedule 4.5(b).
     1. Some disclosures described in other subsections of Schedule 4.5 may be responsive to this subsection as well. To the extent those disclosures apply to this subsection, Borrowers incorporate those disclosures herein for all purposes.
     2. Pipeline Newco and Land Newco (as defined in this Agreement) were created pursuant to the divisive merger of McMurrey Pipe Line Company (“McMurrey”). McMurrey owns certain properties on which Hazardous Materials may have been spilled or released onto or into the soil, surface water or groundwater or emitted as air emissions. Pipeline Newco and Land Newco may become a successor to certain environmental liabilities and remediation obligations as a result of the allocation of real property and other assets formerly owned by McMurrey. Delek has not conducted any investigation (other than the Phase I investigation conducted pursuant to due diligence analysis) regarding the environmental condition of the properties of Pipeline Newco and Land Newco, and, therefore, can make no representation or warranty regarding the condition of such properties.
     3. Such failure to comply with any Environmental Law or any Environmental Liability (including any basis for potential Environmental Liability) as set forth in that certain Phase II Report prepared by ARCADIS for Holdings (as defined in this Agreement) dated April 14, 2005, which is incorporated herein, and which has been provided to Lenders.
     4. Small amounts of Hazardous Materials may-have been spilled or released onto or into the soil, surface water or groundwater or emitted as air emissions from the refinery in the normal course of business for which Seller, and therefore Delek Refining, may have no specific record. Seller, and therefore Delek Refining, does not possess discrete files identifying every release of Hazardous Materials into the soil, water or air. In addition, releases may have occurred prior to the time that Seller acquired the refinery, and therefore Seller (including Delek Refining) would have no such knowledge, other than any files in its possession. The following list (beginning on the next page) includes all the releases for which Seller has documentation:

     6. Platformate Tank No. 8 was the possible source of a release in the year 2004. The tank was emptied and upon being cleaned and blasted, holes and corrosion were discovered, The tank was taken out of service in July 2004. The bottom will be replaced and the tank thoroughly inspected before being put back in-service.
     7. Areas of the refinery where Hazardous Materials may have been used, stored, generated, treated, or disposed are described in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste management permit (Permit No. HW-50062-000). The refinery is registered as a RCRA treatment and storage facility and has classified and registered twenty-six active (or closure pending) and additional ‘inactive and closed solid waste management units (SWMUs) at the site. Permit No. HW-50062-000 was issued in 1988, and renewed in 1998. The 1998 renewal permit included provisions for management, closure, and post closure care of four hazardous waste management units (Old Sludge Drying Bed, New Sludge Drying Bed, Aeration Basin, and Stormwater Containment Basin). Seller received closure certification for the Old Sludge Drying Bed and New Sludge Drying Bed in 1999. The permit also contains requirements for corrective actions related to seventeen SWMUs and has been amended to incorporate the groundwater compliance plan for the site (CP-50062-000) which was issued by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) on April 30, 1999, and modified in a Class 3 Compliance Plan issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on Jan. 9, 2004.2
     8. A groundwater plume containing free product exists beneath the surface of the refinery and has migrated off-site. This may be due to the handling, release, generation and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials at the refinery. Since 1985, La Gloria has conducted numerous investigations of soil, groundwater, and surface water at the refinery. These investigations have identified a widespread area of the subsurface that is contaminated with free-phase and dissolved-phase hydrocarbons. Seller suspects that the source of this contamination was old underground product transfer piping at the site. Currently, more than ninety-five percent of product transfer piping at the site has been moved to aboveground, thereby minimizing the suspected primary source of subsurface contamination at the refinery. With the exception of six line segments, all known underground hydrocarbon service lines were tested in 2004. The six line segments will be tested in the spring 2005 during the crude unit turnaround. Leaks were detected in four of the line segments tested in 2004 and were either repaired or replaced with new aboveground lines. The contamination at the site has migrated beyond the refinery property to the north and to the creek and tributary east and west of the site.
     9. Seller has been removing free product and remediating groundwater pursuant to a Phase II Groundwater Investigation and 1989 Texas Water Commission (TWC) Agreed Order which contains a description of groundwater contamination on the refinery which has migrated to properties owned by Rudman, and those properties formerly owned by Roosth, Haynes and Lewis, and Cooper Cameron Corporation, which Seller has recently acquired. La Gloria has been authorized to enter the Rudman property by an access agreement, which has been renewed
 
2   The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) was created on September 1, 1993 by consolidating the jurisdiction and responsibilities of the former Texas Air Control Board (TACB) and the former Texas Water Commission (TWC) into a single agency. Effective September 1, 2002, the TNRCC was renamed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

annually. The current access agreement expires on December 13, 2005. In addition, foundry metals from the Cooper Cameron property might have migrated in the soils or groundwater to the Roosth, Haynes and Lewis properties, all of which are now owned b Seller.
     10. Other areas of the refinery where Hazardous Materials were generated, used, stored, treated, or disposed are described in the RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) Report. In 2001, the TNRCC approved a multi-phased RFI that Seller began at the refinery in 1991. The RFI concluded that the site-wide free-phase hydrocarbon plume beneath the site was the source of contamination in a majority of SWMUs arid that investigation and remediation separate from what was being implemented for site-wide groundwater was not necessary. Several SWMUs at the refinery were identified as requiring further investigation and corrective actions because contamination in these areas was inconsistent with the contamination in site-wide groundwater. In addition, a free-phase hydrocarbon plume was identified to be migrating onto the refinery property from a former terminal operation (not owned by Seller) located adjacent to the southern refinery property boundary (upgradient). The terminal owner (Strasburger Enterprises) had installed and operated a remediation system to address this contamination, but the system is no longer in operation.
     11. In September 2001, Seller submitted to the TNRCC a revised strategy for addressing the soil and groundwater contamination present at the site under the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP), which also contains a description of areas of the refinery where Seller used, treated, stored, generated or disposed of Hazardous Materials. On May 23, 2002, Seller submitted a Class 3 Compliance Plan Modification Application, which was approved by TCEQ in February 2004, which reflects this strategy.
     12. A more detailed description of the areas of the refinery where Hazardous Materials may have been generated, used, stored, treated or disposed is as follows:
          12.1 Old Sludge Drying Bed: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW-50062-000. It was an approximately 0.07-acre, four-sided, rectangular, open-top tank constructed of reinforced concrete. Various listed refinery wastes were stored in this tank until 1985, when the unit was clean closed.
          12.2 New Sludge Drying Bed: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW -50062-000. It was an approximately 0.07-acre, four-sided, rectangular, open-top tank constructed of reinforced concrete. Various listed refinery wastes were stored in this tank until March 1996. The TNRCC approved the closure of the bed on August 26, 1999.
          12.3 Aeration Basin: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW-50062-000. This unit is comprised of two adjacent, below-grade, concrete-lined basins with ‘interconnected piping. The two basins cover 1.06 acres. Since 1980, the basins have received process wastewater following its treatment in the API separators at the site. Historically, this process water was a characteristic hazardous waste, however, this process water ceased being a hazardous waste after the wastewater system modifications were completed in 1994. The process water treated in the aeration basins is discharged to the City of Tyler publicly owned treatment works (POTW) pursuant to Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit No. 02-79-22 for the refinery.

          12.4 Stormwater Containment Basin: This unit is identified in Permit No. HW-50062-000 as SWMU B. It is a long, rectangular basin that was built to take advantage of a natural creek bed (Blackfork Creek), with the creek, being diverted to the east. The basin was originally an earthen impoundment constructed below grade. The walls were later raised four feet and retrofitted with a two to three inch thick concrete bottom. The basin walls are also constructed of concrete. The basin is 560 feet long, 45 feet wide and approximately 6.5 feet deep, with an estimated maximum capacity of 900,000 gallons. The basin receives storm water from the refinery process area, aboveground storage tank (AST) tank-farm area, main plant entry road, and truck-loading terminal.
          12.5 SWMU No 01 — Landfill (Catalyst): This area is located in the southwestern portion of the site, adjacent to Tributary “D”. The four areas of concern identified in the RCRA Facility Assessment within this area are the Drum Spill Area, Catalyst Fines Disposal Area, Caustic Spill Soil Spreading Area, and Former Ponds Area. No waste management activities are currently conducted in this area. La Gloria submitted an AFAR for this unit to the TCEQ on January 31, 2005.
          12.6 SWMU No. 06 — Container Storage Area: This area consists of a 400 by 500 feet fenced storage yard located near the southwestern corner of the refinery.

          12.7 SWMU C — Upper Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): This unit is located near the western property boundary of the refinery. The upper pond was constructed in the 1950s as a surface impoundment to manage wastewater discharged from the API separator and was active until 1988. The upper pond was a clay-lined impoundment that measured approximately 275 by 230 feet with an average depth of six feet. The pond contained two concrete spillways, one used to transfer water to the Lower Pond (see below) and one used to discharge to the City of Tyler POTW. This pond was active until 1988. La Gloria submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
          12.8 SWMU E — Lower Pond (Wastewater Treatment System): This unit is located near the southwestern portion of the refinery and northeast of the Upper Wastewater Pond. The lower pond was constructed in the 1950s and expanded in the 1960s to serve as an emergency overflow pond for the upper pond. This pond was active until 1988. La Gloria submitted an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ on February 7, 2005.
          12.9 SWMU F— Landfills (24 Tank Bottom Pits): This unit consists of small pits or trenches within the refinery tank farm areas that historically were used to manage tank bottoms. The pits typically were no larger than three feet by ten feet and five feet deep. Comprehensive investigations at the refinery have identified a total of twenty-four of these pits. La Gloria discontinued the practice of managing tank bottoms in on-site pits in the early 19.70s. La Gloria submitted an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ on February 1, 2005.
          12.10 SWMU H — Landspreading Area: This area consists of an approximately two-acre sand lot located northeast of the process area of the refinery. The area is

bounded on the east by an equipment lay-down yard, on the south by a plant road, on the west by Blackfork Creek, and on the north by a wooded La Gloria submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit. La Gloria submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
          12.11 SWMU I — Sandpit: This area is located in the northern portion of the refinery property. A sand borrow pit occupies the northeast portion of this area. Oil/dirt, which historically was used at the facility as a construction material, was produced in this area. La Gloria submitted a report to the TCBQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
          12.12 SWMU K Oil/Dirt Production Area: This area is located in the extreme northeast portion of the site and consists of three subunits. The main oil/dirt production sub area measures three to four acres. Two other oil/dirt production sub areas measure approximately one acre each. La Gloria submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
          12.13 SWMU M — Stormwater Basin Sludge Storage Area: This area is located in the extreme northern portion of the site, adjacent to and south of the Oil/Dirt Production Area. The area historically was used to store sludge removed from the Stormwater Basin. La Gloria plans to submit an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
          12.14 SWMU N — API Separators, Sumps, Sewer System, and Ditches: This unit consists of the historic process wastewater system at the refinery, including the collection system, collection box, two API separators, an emergency sump, and oil reclamation/storage facilities. The collection system is located within the process units on the west side of Blackfork Creek while all of the other units are located directly east of the process units and on the opposite side of Blackfork Creek. The collection system consists of underground lines and junction boxes that are located throughout the process units. This collection system routs process wastewater and storm water from the process units to the concrete, steel-lined collection box, in which it is diverted to one of the two API separators. The emergency sump, which received storm water run-off arid overflow from the API separators, was removed during wastewater treatment plant upgrades in the early 1990s. Some older oil reclamation/storage facilities, used to process the oil recovered from the API separators, were also removed during this upgrade: Pretreated wastewater is discharged to site aeration basins. La Gloria submitted an APAR for the API Separator Area to the TCEQ on February 4, 2005.
          12.15 SWMU O — Coker Plant: This unit consists of five subunits located in the northwestern portion of the site. The subunits are the Old Coker Plant, New Coker Plant, Coker Clarifier, Old Coker Pond, and Discharges from Dike Drain No. 30. La Gloria plans to submit an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
               12.15.1 The Old Coker Plants located on the north side of the area and consists of an abandoned petrochemical process unit and an area that was used to store bulk quantities of coke fines. The Old Coker Plant was taken out of service in 1979. Most of the coke fines were removed. The equipment and some remnants of the coke pile remain today.

- 36 -


 

               12.15.2 The New Coker Plant area is currently occupied by an operating petroleum coking process that has been in operation since 1979. Two areas of potential impact were identified in this area: a railroad hopper car loading rack and an area used to stage heat exchangers during cleaning.
               12.15.3 The Coker Clarifier is an aboveground concrete tank, approximately 100 feet in diameter, which is used to separate coke fines from coker drill-out water.
               12.15.4 The Coker Pond was a 245 by 165 feet impoundment used to store coke fines removed from the clarifier during emergency shutdowns and storm water from the coker tank farm. The use of the pond was discontinued in 1992 and accumulated coke was removed. The pond has subsequently been lined and is currently used to store fire water.
               12.15.5 The Dike Drain No. 30 Area is an area approximately 200 feet north of the blend tank farm. Storm water from the tank farm formerly drained to this location.
          12.16 SWMU P — Container Storage Area: This area measures approximately 32 by 15 feet and is located in the western portion of the process area between the boiler plant and sulfur recovery unit (SRU). Drums containing methanol-still bottoms were historically stored in this area. The process that used methanol at the refinery has been discontinued. An adjacent drainage ditch is also considered part of this unit. La Gloria submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
          12.17 SWMU Q — Process Storage Tanks: ASTs (Process Tanks Nos. 20, 21, 23, 26, 56, and 128) at the refinery that may have been used to process wastes. Although this unit covers the following areas: process tanks SWMU, API separator SWMU, and blend tank farm lead pit SWMU, the impacts of generation, use, storage, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Materials related to the API separator SWMU and blend tank farm lead .pit SWMU are reported under SWMUs N and F, respectively. La Gloria plans to submit an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
          12.18 SWMU R — Landfill (Sulfuric Acid Pit): This unit is located in the northwest corner of the active area of the refinery, adjacent to Tributary “D”. The sulfuric acid pit is an unlined earthen basin that measures approximately thirty square feet. The pit was constructed in 1970 to be used as an emergency overflow pit for releases from the sulfuric acid storage area containment berm that is located approximately 400 feet to the northwest. This unit has been inactive since 1979. La Gloria submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
          12.19 SWMU S — Container Storage Areas: This area includes four areas: the east end of the mechanical/electrical shop, the lube oil storage area, the area to the south of the old heat exchanger shop, and the boiler chemical storage area. These areas were investigated during the RFI to assess the potential extent of past releases of solvents and lube oil. La Gloria plans to submit an APAR for this unit to the TCEQ by March 31, 2005.
          12.20 SWMU T — Caustic Storage Area: This area is located within the process area of the refinery, south of the Old Coker Plant. This unit was investigated during the

- 37 -


 

RFI to determine if past releases of caustic had impacted soil. La Gloria submitted a report to the TCEQ on January 4, 2005, indicating that no further action was required for this unit.
     13. On January 4, 2005 La Gloria submitted a Groundwater Response Action plan to, the TCEQ proposing a Plume Management Zone (PMZ) that, would include the entire area of free-phase and dissolved groundwater contamination that has been delineated at the refinery. This area encompasses the northern portion of the refinery site, and portions of the properties formerly owned by Cooper Cameron, Roosth, and Lewis and Haynes and portions of properties, currently owned by Union Pacific Railways and Texas Eastman Corp. It is bound by Blackfork Creek to the north and east, and Tributary “D” to the west.
     14. On January 24, 2005, the TCEQ instructed La Gloria to conduct a Tier II Ecological Risk Assessment for the creeks described in Paragraph No. 10 above. La Gloria agreed to submit the Ecological Risk Assessment by April 30, 2005.
     15. Before the TCEQ may approve the PMZ, the two remaining affected property owners must provide documentation confirming their agreement to a Restrictive Covenant in their respective property records. Currently, La Gloria is negotiating with Union Pacific Railroad and Eastman Chemical Company on these agreements.
     16. The high-sulfur diesel tank (T-43) was the possible source of a release in the year 2002. The tank was initially tested and determined not to be leaking but, upon being cleaned and blasted, holes and corrosion were discovered. The tank was taken out-of-service and the bottom was repaired. The tank was retested and no leaks were found. The tank was then returned to service.
     17. In October 2002 a release to groundwater from the process wastewater 60-inch sewer line was discovered. The line was taken out-of-service, and the leak was repaired by replacing a section of the line. The line was then tested, found not to be leaking and placed back in service. The area of the release is located in the proposed PMZ.
     18. As a result of periodic and/or annual inspections conducted by the TCEQ or its predecessor agencies (the TNRCC, the TACB and the TWC), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and/or the City of Tyler, or self-reported information, Seller was notified of alleged violations or “areas of concern” involving the generation, use, treatment, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials and/or solid wastes, the emission of air contaminants into the atmosphere and/or the discharge of pollutants into surface or groundwater not in accordance with Environmental Laws as described briefly below:
          18.1 The City of Tyler issued Notices of Violation (NOVs) dated December 10, 2004 and January 18, 2005 to Seller for alleged violations of the City’s pretreatment limitations for oil and grease in refinery wastewater discharged to-the city’s publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
          18.2 As a result of inspections and record reviews by the TCEQ on August 1, 2002, November 7, 2002, June 5 2003, and November 20, 2003, the TCEQ issued a Notice of Enforcement (NOE) Action to Seller on April 6, 2004. The NOE alleges violations related to excess emissions from cooling towers, an upset report not submitted within 24 hours, lack of

- 38 -


 

hydrogen sulfide (H2S) monitors on refinery flares, unauthorized emissions from the SRU sulfur pit, and inadequate shutdown devices on the Truck Loading Rack. Based on information submitted by Seller, the TCEQ withdrew the alleged violation regarding excess emissions from the cooling tower. Seller has achieved compliance at the Truck Loading Rack shutdown device and the SRU sulfur pit. TCEQ Agreed Order in Docket No. 2004-0291-AIR-E, as revised, was approved by the Commission on February 9, 2005. The order imposes corrective action, such as the installation of H2S monitors on refinery flares, in accordance with a specific schedule. La Gloria has already paid the administrative penalties of $120,650.00.
          18.3 In February and April of 2003, EPA conducted a comprehensive evaluation of applicable air regulations at the refinery. In a letter dated October 30, 2003, EPA notified Seller of certain “Areas of Concern” and cited possible violations in the following areas: the Leak Detection and Repair Program, numerous upsets and shutdowns of the SRU and the CO Boiler, benzene waste NESHAPS (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) controls prior to 1997, and possible Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) violations related to the start of construction date of a plant expansion in 1979. In a letter dated December 22, 2003, Seller provided EPA with a substantial amount of information addressing the alleged violations. On November 8, 2004, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) advised Seller that the government intends to seek a consent decree to resolve the alleged violations. Seller provided additional information to EPA and the DOJ in a letter dated December 21, 2004. On January 24, 2005, Seller met with representatives of EPA Region 6 and the DOJ and discussed the terms of a potential consent decree.
          18.4 As a result of a records review by the TCEQ on November 1-10, 2004, the TCEQ issued an NOE to Seller on December 23, 2004. The NOE alleges that La Gloria failed to demonstrate the criteria for establishing an affirmative defense for unauthorized air emissions that occurred during maintenance on the sulfur recovery unit at the Tyler refinery in September 2004. In a letter dated February 21, 2005, La Gloria provided additional information to the TCEQ to supplement its affirmative defense.
          18.5 As a result of an EPA inspection conducted on June 4, 2002, Seller was required to verify clean up of a PCB leak. Seller collected additional samples which indicated further clean up was required in eight spill areas. La Gloria has completed cleaned-up all the spill areas, submitted post-cleanup verification sampling to EPA, removed all remaining PCB transformers at the refinery and replaced them with non-PCB transformers.
          18.6 On September 17, 2004, EPA filed a Complaint, Consent Agreement and Final Order in Docket No. TSCA-06-2004-08l8 that resolved all past violations and imposed penalties of $64,027.00, which Seller paid on September 2, 2004.
          18.7 As a result of an inspection on July 22, 1999, the TNRCC notified Seller of the following: 1) emissions from the sulfur pit were being vented to the air rather than being routed to the SRU incinerator, as required by the refinery’s air permit; and 2) the Vapor Recovery Unit (VRU) serving the gasoline loading rack was not in service as required by Special Provisions Nos. 1 & 2 of Air Permit No. R-72 and 40 C.F.R. Part 63 Subpart R (NESHAPS for Gasoline Distribution Facilities).

- 39 -


 

          18.8 Seller submitted and the TNRCC approved an application to amend the air permit to allow the flare to be used full time at the Truck Loading Rack, instead of the VRU, for vapor control. The refinery believes that it is now in compliance with EPA’s Maximum Achievable Control Technology for petroleum refineries (MACT I) and Seller’s air permit. During a turnaround in September 2004, Seller repaired leaks at the sulfur pit so that these emissions are now routed to the SRU incinerator. These issues are being addressed in the pending DOJ matter described in Paragraph 13.3 above.
          18.9 Noncompliance with MACT I and NESHAPs for benzene waste operations was identified in 1999. The refinery has installed the required controls. This issue is being addressed in the pending DOJ matter described in Paragraph 13.3 above.

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

All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement except to the extent such capitalized terms are otherwise defined or limited herein.
     All principal amounts and other Obligations then outstanding hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, or such earlier date the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full, whether by acceleration or otherwise pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers also shall repay principal outstanding hereunder from time to time as provided in the Credit Agreement.
     The Borrowers shall be entitled to borrow, re-pay and re-borrow funds hereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loan may be made only as provided in the Credit Agreement.
     Each Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof as provided in Article II of the Credit Agreement. Interest under this Note also shall be due and payable when this Note shall become due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise). The Obligations shall bear Default Interest payable at the rate, in the manner and at the times provided in the Credit Agreement.

 


 

     In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by any Borrower or inadvertently received by the Lender, then such excess sum shall be allocated in accordance with Section 10.12 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent lawful, and any sums that cannot lawfully be allocated in accordance therewith shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless such Borrower shall notify the Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay, and the Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrowers under applicable law.
     All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether a Borrower, any guarantor, endorser or any other Person, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-payment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest and notice of any other kind whatsoever.
     No delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising its rights under this Note, or delay or omission on the part of the Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Required Lenders or the Lenders collectively, or any of them, in exercising its or their rights under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or course of conduct relating thereto, shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other right of the Lender or any holder hereof nor shall any waiver by the Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders collectively, or any of them, or any holder hereof, of any such right or fights on any one occasion be deemed a bar to, or waiver of, the same right or rights on any future occasion.
     Each Borrower hereby promises to pay all costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, should this Note be collected by or through an attorney-at-law or under advice therefrom.
    Time is of the essence in this Note.
     This Note evidences the Lender’s portion of the Revolving Loans under, and is entitled to the benefits and subject to the terms of, the Credit Agreement, which contains provisions with respect to the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events, and provisions for prepayment and repayment. This Note is secured by and is also entitled to the benefits of the Loan Documents to the extent provided therein and any other agreement or instrument providing collateral for the Revolving Loans, whether now or hereafter in existence, and any filings, instruments, agreements and documents related thereto and providing collateral for the Revolving Loans.
     This Revolving Credit Note is delivered in exchange and substitution for, but not in extinguishment or as a novation of the Indebtedness outstanding under, the [Amended and Restated] Revolving Credit Note dated May 2, 2005, made by the Borrower to the order of the Lender in the original principal amount of $                    .
     This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to the choice or conflict of law principles thereof.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no liability or responsibility to any Loan Party for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (each, an “Indemnified Party”) because of the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements except as relating to or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or its officers, employees or agents. In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding, the foregoing indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any other Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.
     (c) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Loan Parties without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Loan Parties for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the Administrative Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral.
     (d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Hedging Agreement or as provided by law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have.
     (e) Retention of Collateral. The Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Section 9-620 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, to the extent the Administrative Agent is in possession of any of the Collateral, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
     (f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are legally entitled (subject to Section 26 hereof), the Loan Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the default rate specified in the Credit Agreement for Revolving Loans, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys

-14 -


 

employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to (or at the direction of) the Borrowers, or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.
10. Rights of the Administrative Agent.
          (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Loan Party hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Loan Party, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

     (xi) institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and
     (xii) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable (i) for so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding, any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of any Lender is in effect or any Loan or Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and (ii) until all of the Commitments shall have been terminated. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.
     (b) Grant of License, For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 9 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, Loan Parties hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Loan Parties) to use, license or sublicense any Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents and other related Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by Loan Parties, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
     (c) Performance by the Administrative Agent of Obligations. If any Loan Party fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Administrative Agent itself may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Loan Parties on a joint and several basis pursuant to Section 26 hereof.
     (d) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to time and in accordance with the Credit Agreement assign the Secured Obligations and any portion thereof and/or the Collateral and any portion thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement in relation thereto.
     (e) The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining

-16 -


 

thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Loan Parties shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent Administrative Agent in the industry, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral.
     11. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement, and each Loan Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.
     12. [Reserved].
     13. Continuing Agreement.
     (a) This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding or any Loan Document or Bank Product Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of any Lender is in effect or any Loan or Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, and until all of the Commitments thereunder shall have terminated (other than any obligations with respect to the indemnities and the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents). Upon such payment and termination, this Security Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Loan Parties, forthwith release all of their liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Loan Parties evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing all releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Security Agreement.
     (b) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

     24. Other Security.

In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Collateral may be effected, each Pledgor agrees that Administrative Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are accredited investors

     15. Redemption; Marshaling. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right of equity of redemption with respect to the Pledged Collateral before or after a sale conducted pursuant to Section 14 hereof. Each Pledgor agrees that Administrative Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future security (including this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder) for, or guaranties of, the Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order; and all of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of such security and guaranties shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the fullest extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and to the fullest extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
     16. Term. This Agreement shall become effective only when accepted by Administrative Agent and, when so accepted, shall constitute a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the Credit Agreement is terminated and all of the Secured Obligations have been fully and finally paid, satisfied and discharged, at which time this Agreement shall terminate and Administrative Agent shall deliver to Pledgors, at Pledgors’ expense, (i) such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such termination statements and other release documents as may be requested by Pledgors to evidence the termination of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

prior recourse to any part or all of the Pledged Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Secured Obligations.

The obligations of Pledgors hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Pledgor, (b) any exercise or nonexercise, or any waiver, by Administrative Agent of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any of the Secured Obligations or any security thereof (including this Agreement); (c) any amendment to or modification of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the Secured Obligations; (d) any amendment or modification of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations; or (e) the taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination of any security or guaranty for any of the Secured Obligations, whether or not any Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
     24. No Waiver, Etc. No act, failure or delay by Administrative Agent shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by Administrative Agent of any Default or Event of Default or right or remedy which, Administrative Agent may have shall operate as a waiver of any other Default, Event of Default, right or remedy or of the same Default, Event of Default, right or remedy on a future occasion. Each Pledgor hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or the Pledged Collateral, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein).

specifically set forth herein, except for any liability or damage resulting from Administrative Agent’s actual gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     27. Use of Loan Proceeds. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent that none of the loan proceeds heretofore and hereafter received by it under the Credit Agreement are for the purpose of purchasing any “margin security” as that term is defined in either Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or refinancing any indebtedness originally incurred to purchase any such “margin security.”
     28. Waiver of Subrogation and Other Claims. Each Pledgor recognizes that Administrative Agent, in exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral, may likely be unable to find one or more purchasers thereof if, after the sale of the Pledged Collateral, a Company were, because of any claim based on subrogation or any other theory, liable to any Pledgor on account of the sale by Administrative Agent of the Pledged Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or liable to any Pledgor on account of any indebtedness owing to any Pledgor that is subordinated to any or all of the Secured Obligations.

     29. WAIVERS. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES: NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT; NOTICE OF EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT, LOANS, ADVANCES OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS TO BORROWERS; TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS ALSO WAIVE) IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL; PRESENTMENT AND DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS; PROTEST AND NOTICE OF DISHONOR OR DEFAULT WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE

W I T N E S S E T H:
          WHEREAS, Delek Refining, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Delek Refining”), Delek Pipeline Texas, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Delek Pipeline”; Delek Refining and Delek Pipeline are referred to herein individually as a “Borrower” and collectively as the “Borrowers”), the financial institutions listed on the signature pages thereof (such financial institutions, together with their respective successors and assigns, being hereinafter each referred to as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), SunTrust Bank, as issuing bank (together with any other Lender that hereafter becomes an “Issuing Bank” pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the “Issuing Banks”), The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated the date hereof (as the same may hereafter be modified, amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders and the Issuing Banks have agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers from time to time and the Borrowers have agreed to grant a security interest in all of their assets to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and
          WHEREAS, the Guarantors collectively own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Borrowers and will realize substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of-the extensions of credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and
          WHEREAS, the Lenders have required that the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent (i) in order to secure the prompt and complete payment, observance and performance of all of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) as a condition precedent to any extension of credit under the Credit Agreement; and
          WHEREAS, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are secured by security interests granted to the Administrative Agent by the Guarantor pursuant to the Security Agreement and by the other Loan Documents (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) to which the Guarantors are parties;
          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the recitals made above, Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors hereby agree that capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement, and further agree as follows:

 


 

          1. The Guarantors hereby guarantee, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (collectively, the “Lender Parties”), the full and prompt payment of the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and every other Loan Document, including any interest thereon, plus actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses if the obligations represented by this Guaranty are collected by law, through an attorney-at-law, or under advice therefrom.
          2. Regardless of whether any proposed guarantor or any other Person shall become in any other way responsible to the Lender Parties, or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, and regardless of whether or not any Person now or hereafter responsible to the Lender Parties, or any of them, for the Obligations or any part thereof, whether under this Guaranty or otherwise, shall cease to be so liable, each Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that this Guaranty shall be a joint and several obligation, shall be a continuing guaranty and shall be operative and binding until payment in full of the Obligations (except for reimbursement or indemnification obligations not then due and payable, and Letter of Credit Obligations that have been cash collateralized in the manner provided for in Section 2.23(g) of the Credit Agreement or backed up by a letter of credit acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the LC Commitment.
          3. Upon this Guaranty’s being executed and coming into the hands of the Administrative Agent, this Guaranty shall be deemed to be finally executed and delivered by the Guarantors and shall not be subject to or affected by any promise or condition affecting or limiting any Guarantor’s liability, except as stated in the Credit Agreement, and no statement, representation, agreement or promise on the part of the Lender Parties, the Borrowers, or any of them, or any officer, employee or agent thereof, unless contained herein, forms any part of this Guaranty or has induced the making thereof or shall be deemed in any way to affect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any defense, set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty or the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other Person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrowers) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent hereof to collect the Obligations or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.
          4. The Lender Parties or any of them, may from time to time, without exonerating or releasing the Guarantors in any way under this Guaranty, (i) take such further or other security or securities for the Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, or (ii) release, discharge, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any Guarantor of the Obligations or any security or securities therefor or any part thereof now or hereafter held by the Lender Parties, or (iii) amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions, terms, or conditions of the Loan Documents, all as they may consider expedient or appropriate in their sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of Section 5 hereof, it is understood that the Lender Parties, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor, give up, or modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for the Obligations and accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any security for the Obligations when, and in such manner, and with or without notice, all as they may deem expedient.

 


 

          5. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), shall discharge all or any part of the liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent that the covenants, agreements and all liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Guaranty is fully performed, and without possibility of recourse, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this paragraph of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Parties, or any of them, or its or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Lender Parties, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any further dealings between any Borrower on the one hand and any Lender Party, on the other hand or any other guarantor or surety, and such Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder, or any right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or description which it may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers.
          6. The Lender Parties may, without demand or notice of any kind upon or to the Guarantors, at any time or from time to time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by any Guarantor, if the Borrowers shall not have timely paid any of the Obligations, set-off and appropriate and apply to any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed, and in such order of application as the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties may from time to time elect in accordance with the Credit Agreement, any deposits, property, balances, credit accounts or moneys of any Guarantor in the possession of any Lender Party, or under their respective control for any purpose.
          7. The creation or existence from time to time of Obligations in excess of the amount committed to or outstanding on the date of this Guaranty is hereby authorized, without notice to the Guarantors, and shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty or the rights of the Administrative Agent herein.
          8. Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of any Borrower or of any surety or guarantor for any Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Parties, the rights of the Administrative Agent against any Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of any Lender Party to prove its claim, or to prove the full claim, as appropriate, (except as it relates to such Guarantor) and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims as it sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim and in its discretion may value as it sees fit or refrain from valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing or otherwise affecting the liability to the Administrative Agent of each of the Guarantors.
          9. Any amount received by the Administrative Agent from whatsoever source and applied toward the payment of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 


 

          10. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably expressly waives, except to the extent such waiver would be expressly prohibited by applicable law, the following: (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Obligations, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices whatsoever, (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Obligations or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing, e) all rights to enforce any remedy which the Lender Parties, or any of them, may have against the Borrowers, and (f) until payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the LC Commitment, all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from the Borrowers and any benefit of, or right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereinafter held by the Lender Parties, or any of them, in respect of the Obligations. If a claim is ever made upon any Lender Party for the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of such amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Person with any such claimant, including a Borrower, then in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and each Guarantor shall be and remain obligated to such Person hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person.
          11. The Lender Parties may, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, sell, assign or transfer all or any part of the Obligations, and in such event each and every permitted assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any of the Obligations, shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such permitted assignee, transferee or holder as fully as if such assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits.
          12. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Obligations and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof and shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy and no course of dealing between any Guarantor and any Lender Party shall operate as a waiver thereof. No action by the Administrative Agent permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the Obligations shall include, without limitation, all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Parties, notwithstanding any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of any Borrower, the Lender Parties, or any of them, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
          13. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lender Parties. No Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent

 


 

of the Administrative Agent. No alteration or waiver of this Guaranty or of any of its terms, provisions or conditions shall be binding upon the parties against whom enforcement is sought unless made in writing and signed by an authorized officer of such party.
          14. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. In the event the Administrative Agent makes a demand upon any Guarantor under this Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be held and bound to the Administrative Agent directly as debtor in respect of the payment of the amounts hereby guaranteed. All costs and expenses, including actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent in obtaining performance of or collecting payments due under this Guaranty to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed part of the Obligations guaranteed hereby. Any notice or demand which the Administrative Agent may wish to give shall be served upon any Guarantor in the fashion prescribed for notices in the Credit Agreement at the address for such Guarantor given on Exhibit A attached hereto and the notice so sent shall be deemed to be served as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
          15. Each Guarantor expressly represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by the Lender Parties to the Borrowers, including, without limitation, the extension of credit, are and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor.
          16. [Reserved.]
          17. FOR PURPOSES OF ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. THE CONSENT TO JURISDICTION HEREIN SHALL NOT BE EXCLUSIVE. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT WOULD MAKE NOW OR HEREAFTER FOR THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
          18. EACH GUARANTOR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW WAIVES, AND OTHERWISE AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT AND IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY TYPE IN WHICH ANY GUARANTOR, ANY OF THE LENDERS, THE ISSUING BANKS, THE AGENTS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS IS A PARTY, AS TO ALL MATTERS AND THINGS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS GUARANTY.
          19. This Guaranty shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within the State of Georgia without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof.

 


 

          20. [Reserved.]
          21. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Administrative Agent” shall be a reference to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and each action taken or right exercised hereunder shall be deemed to have been so taken or exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties.
          22. Upon payment in full of all principal and interest on the Obligations, termination of the Commitments and the LC Commitment and satisfaction in full of all other Obligations outstanding (other than contingent liabilities not yet due), this Guaranty shall terminate and the Administrative Agent shall take all action reasonably requested by the Guarantors (at the expense of the Borrowers or the Guarantors) to evidence the termination of this Guaranty.
          23. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

          WHEREAS, each Guarantor is an affiliate of the Borrowers and will realize substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of the extensions of credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and
          WHEREAS, the Lenders have required that the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent (i) in order to secure the prompt and complete payment, observance and performance of all of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) as a condition precedent to any extension of credit under the Credit Agreement; and
          WHEREAS, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are secured by security interests granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, by each Guarantor pursuant to the Security Agreement and by the other Loan Documents (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) to which any Guarantor is a party;
          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the recitals made above, Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and

 


 

adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees that capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement, and further agrees as follows:

          2.

          3. Upon this Guaranty’s being executed and coming into the hands of the Administrative Agent, this Guaranty shall be deemed to be finally executed and delivered by the Guarantors and shall not be subject to or affected by any promise or condition affecting or limiting any Guarantor’s liability, except as stated in the Credit Agreement, and no statement, representation, agreement or promise on the part of the Lender Parties, the Borrowers, or any of them, or any officer, employee or agent thereof, unless contained herein, forms any part of this Guaranty or has induced the making thereof or shall be deemed in any way to affect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any defense, set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty or the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other Person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrowers) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent hereof to collect the Obligations or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.
          4. The Lender Parties or any of them, may from time to time, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor in any way under this Guaranty, (i) take such further or other security or securities for the Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, or (ii) release, discharge, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any Guarantor of the Obligations or any security or securities therefore or any part thereof now or hereafter held by the Lender Parties, or (iii) amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions, terms, or conditions of the Loan Documents, all as they may consider expedient or appropriate in their sole discretion.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of Section 5 hereof, it is understood that the Lender Parties, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor, give up, or modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for the Obligations and accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any security for the Obligations when, and in such manner, and with or without notice, all as they may deem expedient.
          5. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), shall discharge all or any part of the liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent that the covenants, agreements and all liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Guaranty is fully performed, and without possibility of recourse, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this paragraph of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Parties, or any of them, or its or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Lender Parties, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any further dealings between any Borrower on the one hand and any Lender Party, on the other hand or any other guarantor or surety, and such Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder, or any right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or description which it may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers.
          6. The Lender Parties may, without demand or notice of any kind upon or to any Guarantor, at any time or from time to time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by any Guarantor, if the Borrowers shall not have timely paid any of the Obligations, set-off and appropriate and apply to any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed, and in such order of application as the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties may from time to time elect in accordance with the Credit Agreement, any deposits, property, balances, credit accounts or moneys of any Guarantor in the possession of any Lender Party, or under their respective control for any purpose.
          7. The creation or existence from time to time of Obligations in excess of the amount committed to or outstanding on the date of this Guaranty is hereby authorized, without notice to any Guarantor, and shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty or the rights of the Administrative Agent herein. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount. The “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Guarantor, shall mean the maximum amount which could be paid by the Guarantor without rendering this Guaranty void or voidable as would otherwise be held or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action or proceeding involving any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

          8. Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of any Borrower or of any surety or guarantor for any Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Parties the rights of the Administrative Agent against any Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of any Lender Party to prove its claim, or to prove the full claim, as appropriate, (except as it relates to such Guarantor) and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims, as it sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim and in its discretion may value as it sees fit or refrain from valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing; or otherwise affecting the liability to the Administrative Agent of each of the Guarantors.
          9. Any amount received by the Administrative Agent from whatsoever source and applied toward the payment of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
          10.

If a claim is ever made upon any Lender Party for the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of such amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Person with any such claimant, including a Borrower, then in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree,order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and such Guarantor shall be and remain obligated to such Person hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person.
          11. The Lender Parties may, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, sell, assign or transfer all or any part of the Obligations, and in such event each and every permitted assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any of the Obligations, shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such permitted assignee, transferee or holder as fully as if such assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits.
          12. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Obligations and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof and shall be conclusively presumed to

4


 

have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy and no course of dealing between any Guarantor and any Lender Party shall operate as a waiver thereof. No action by the Administrative Agent permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the Obligations shall include, without limitation, all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Parties, notwithstanding any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of any Borrower, the Lender Parties, or any of them, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
          13. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors, their successors and permitted assigns and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lender Parties. No Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. No alteration or waiver of this Guaranty or of any of its terms, provisions or conditions shall be binding upon the parties against whom enforcement is sought unless made in writing and signed by an authorized officer of such party.
          14. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. In the event the Administrative Agent makes a demand upon any Guarantor under this Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be held and bound to the Administrative Agent directly as debtor in respect of the payment of the amounts hereby guaranteed. All costs and expenses, including actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent in obtaining performance of or collecting payments due under this Guaranty to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed part of the Obligations guaranteed hereby. Any notice or demand which the Administrative Agent may wish to give shall be served upon any Guarantor in die fashion prescribed for notices in the Credit Agreement at the address for such Guarantor given on Exhibit A attached hereto and the notice so sent shall be deemed to be served as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
          15. Each Guarantor expressly represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by the Lender Parties to the Borrowers, including, without limitation, the extension of credit, are and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor.
          16. Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees to comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement that are applicable to Subsidiaries of the Borrowers as if such covenants and agreements were specifically set forth herein.
          17. FOR PURPOSES OF ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 20 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all such obligations.

          21. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Administrative Agent” shall be a reference to the Administrative Agent for the

6


 

benefit of the Lender Parties, and each action taken or right exercised hereunder shall be deemed to have been so taken or exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties.
