Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, entered into as of October 21, 2013, between Knight Transportation, Inc., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender

Section 1.2 Terms Generally.  The definitions in Section 1.1 shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of this Agreement, and Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect in the United States of America from time to time; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant set forth in Article V or Article VI, such terms shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Lender agrees to make advances of its Revolving Loan to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on and after the date hereof and until the RLC Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the RLC Commitment, subject, however, to the conditions that at no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Borrowings pursuant to the Revolving Loan, together with the Letter of Credit Balance, exceed the Maximum RLC Commitment.  The RLC Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10.  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow hereunder, on and after the date hereof and prior to the RLC Maturity Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

(b) Each advance of the proceeds of the Revolving Loan shall constitute a single Borrowing.  Each LIBOR Borrowing shall be in a principal amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and not less than $1,000,000.00 (or, if less, a principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available RLC Commitment).

(a) Each advance under the Revolving Loan shall be a single LIBOR Borrowing or a single Base Rate Borrowing, as the Borrower may request.  Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time.  For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(b) At such time as Borrower wishes to request a Borrowing, Borrower shall give Lender notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; and (ii) the principal amount subject thereto.  Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit, including any notice or Borrowing conducted using Lender's Commercial Electronic Office® system) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR Borrowing, (A) if requested by Lender, Borrower provides to Lender written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Interest Period, or at a later time during any Business Day if Lender, at its sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower's notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower.  If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Lender of the applicable fixed rate.  If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Interest Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a request for a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.5 Reborrowings.  Subject to Section 2.11, the Borrower may reborrow all or any part of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of the same or a different Type made pursuant to Section 2.3, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement.  Any Borrowing or part thereof so reborrowed or combined shall be deemed to have been repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 with the proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder, and the proceeds of the new Borrowing (except to the extent, if any, they exceed the principal amount of the Borrowing(s) being reborrowed) shall not be disbursed to the Borrower.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender (i) quarterly in arrears for each calendar quarter ending each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing September 30, 2013 and (ii) on the date on which the RLC Commitment shall be terminated as provided herein, for the period from the end of the preceding calendar quarter to the date of such termination, a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") at a rate per annum equal to 10.00 basis points (.10%) on the Average Adjusted Daily Undrawn Balance during the preceding calendar quarter (or shorter period (1) commencing with the date hereof or (2) ending with the RLC Maturity Date or any other date on which the Commitment shall be terminated).  The Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.  The Commitment Fee shall be deemed to commence to accrue as of June 30, 2013 and shall cease to accrue on the earlier of the RLC Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment of Lender as provided herein.

Section 2.7 Note; Repayment of Revolving Loan.  The Revolving Loan made by the Lender shall be evidenced by a note duly completed and executed on behalf of the Borrower, dated the date of this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit "A" hereto, and payable to the order of the Lender in a principal amount equal to the Maximum RLC Commitment.  The Note shall bear interest from the date thereof on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.8.  The Lender may (and is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at the Lender's discretion, to) endorse on a schedule attached to the Note (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in the Lender's internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Borrowing under the Revolving Loan, each payment or prepayment of principal of any such Borrowing and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay each Borrowing under the Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of the Note.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.9 and 2.11, each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to, the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such LIBOR Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest on each LIBOR Borrowing shall be payable on each applicable Interest Payment Date.  The LIBOR Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Lender, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Lender shall promptly advise the Borrower of such determination.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.9 and 2.11, each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest on each Base Rate Borrowing shall be payable on each applicable Interest Payment Date.  The Base Rate shall be determined by the Lender and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Lender shall promptly advise the Borrower of such determination.

Section 2.9 Default Interest.  If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at the Default Rate.

(b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Lender, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the RLC Commitment; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Maximum RLC Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000.00; and provided further, that the Borrower shall not be permitted to terminate or reduce the Maximum RLC Commitment if, as a result respectively, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Borrowings together with the Letter of Credit Balance outstanding hereunder would exceed such reduced amount of the Maximum RLC Commitment.

Section 2.11 Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings.  At any time any portion of the RLC Facility bears interest determined in relation to the LIBOR Rate for an Interest Period, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate for a new Interest Period designated by Borrower.  At any time any portion of the RLC Facility bears interest determined in relation to the Base Rate, Borrower may at any time convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to the LIBOR Rate for an Interest Period designated by Borrower, subject in each case to the following:

(a) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing converted or continued shall be an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and not less than $1,000,000.00;

(d) any portion of a LIBOR Borrowing which cannot be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing by reason of clauses (b) and (c) above shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into a Base Rate Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Lender, such notice to be three Business Days with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing and one Business Day with respect to a Base Rate Borrowing; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and not less than $1,000,000.00.

(b) On the date of any termination or reduction of the Maximum RLC Commitment pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall pay or prepay an amount of the Revolving Loan such that the sum of the aggregate principal amount of such Loan outstanding together with the Letter of Credit Balance will not exceed the Commitment after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein.  All prepayments under this Section shall be subject to Section 2.15 but otherwise without premium or penalty.  All prepayments under this Section shall be accompanied by a payment of accrued interest on the amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

(a) If the Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, special deposit, insurance or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender's holding company with any request or directive promulgated after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender's or on the capital of the Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Revolving Loan, including the issuance of any Letter of Credit, made by the Lender to a level below that which the Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's policies and the policies of the Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender in good faith to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation (either by way of changes in existing laws or regulations or the introductions of new laws or regulations) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Borrowing made by the Lender, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the net income of the Lender), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by the Lender, including without limitation any reserve requirement that may be applicable to "eurocurrency liabilities" under and as defined in Regulation D, or shall impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Borrowing made by the Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Borrowing or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder or under the Note (in respect of LIBOR Borrowing only), whether of principal, interest or otherwise, by an amount deemed by the Lender in good faith to be material, then, the Borrower will pay to the Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of the Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure on the part of the Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period.  The protection of this Section shall be available to the Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, provided that if the Lender is compensated for such increased costs or reduction by any Governmental Authority or third party in the event such invalidity or inapplicability is finally determined, then the Lender shall return to the Borrower the respective compensation paid by the Borrower, up to the lesser of such amount as is received by the Lender or such amount as was paid by the Borrower.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive Termination, provided that the Borrower shall have no further obligation to the Lender under this Section unless a certificate setting forth the amount of such obligation shall have been delivered by the Lender pursuant to paragraph (c) above within ninety (90) calendar days after the Termination Date.

(f) The Lender shall give notification to the Borrower of any event or prospective event which will give rise to the operation of paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, such notification to be sent within thirty (30) days of the date of the public promulgation of the effective date of any such law, rule, regulation, guidelines or change therein.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Borrowing or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing, then by written notice to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the relevant circumstances and the effect thereof, the Lender may:

(i) declare that LIBOR Borrowings will not thereafter be made by the Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Borrowing unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) require that all outstanding LIBOR Borrowings made by it be converted to Base Rate Borrowings, in which event all such LIBOR Borrowings shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Borrowings as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event the Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Borrowings that would have been made by the Lender or the converted LIBOR Borrowings of the Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Borrowings made by the Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Borrowings.

(b) For purposes of this Section, a notice to the Borrower by the Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Borrowing, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such LIBOR Borrowing; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

(c) The Lender shall use its best efforts to give prompt notification to the Borrower of any event or prospective event which will give rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this Section.

Section 2.15 Redeployment Loss.  The Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand against any Redeployment Loss (defined below) arising as a consequence of any payment, prepayment (optional or mandatory) or conversion of a LIBOR Borrowing required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or failure to borrow, convert or extend a LIBOR Borrowing after giving notice.  "Redeployment Loss" shall mean, in each circumstance, a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in such Interest Period matures, calculated as follows for each such month:

(i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.

(iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by the LIBOR Rate used in (ii) above.

A certificate of the Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts which the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive Termination provided that the Borrower shall have no further obligation to the Lender under this Section unless a certificate setting forth the amount of such obligation shall have been delivered by the Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence within ninety (90) calendar days after the Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including without limitation principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document no later than 11:00 a.m., Phoenix, Arizona time, on the date when due in Dollars to the Lender at its offices at 100 West Washington, Phoenix, Arizona 85003, or at such other location as it may direct the Borrower in writing to use, in immediately available funds.

(b) Whenever any payment (including without limitation principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c) The Borrower authorizes the Lender to collect all principal and interest due under each Loan by charging the Borrower's demand deposit account number 4159-518950 with the Lender, or any other demand deposit account maintained by the Borrower with the Lender, for the full amount thereof.  Should there be insufficient funds in any such demand deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrower.

(a) All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, withholdings or other charges of whatsoever nature and all liabilities with respect thereto, other than any taxes on or measured by the gross or net income of the Lender pursuant to the income and/or franchise tax laws of the jurisdictions in which the Lender is incorporated or organized or in which the principal office of the Lender or the branch that is a party to this Agreement of the Lender is located (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"), shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid by the Borrower to or for the account of the Lender (or any transferee or assignee (each, a "Transferee")) under this Agreement.  With respect to each deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes of the Lender (or Transferee), the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event not later than forty-five (45) days thereafter) furnish to the Lender (or Transferee) a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "Stamp Taxes").

(c) The Borrower will indemnify the Lender (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Stamp Taxes (including without limitation any Taxes or Stamp Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender (or Transferee) and any liability (including without limitation penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Stamp Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority.  Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Lender (or Transferee) makes written demand therefor.  If the Lender, as the result of any Tax with respect to which the Borrower is required to make a payment pursuant to this Section shall realize a tax credit or refund in its country or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization or in the jurisdiction in which its principal office is then located, which tax credit or refund would not have been realized but for the Borrower's payment of such Tax, the Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such tax credit or refund (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the Borrower under this Section with respect to such credit or refund) net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to return such credit or refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such credit or refund to the relevant taxing authority.  Any amount required to be calculated pursuant to this Section shall be calculated in good faith by the Lender (or Transferee), and such calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive Termination, provided that the Borrower shall have no further obligation to the Lender under this Section unless a certificate setting forth the amount of such obligation shall have been delivered by the Lender to the Borrower within ninety (90) calendar days after the Termination Date.

(f) The Lender shall give notification to the Borrower of any event or prospective event which will give rise to the operation of paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, such notification to be sent within thirty (30) days of the date of the public promulgation of the effective date of any such Taxes or Stamp Taxes.

(a) If the Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.17 or exercises its rights under Section 2.14, it shall (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) (i) promptly notify the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such additional amounts or the exercise of such rights and (ii) file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower or take any other action if the making of such a filing or change or the taking of such action would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue or avoid the circumstances giving rise to such exercise and would not, in the sole determination of the Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender (or Transferee).

(b) The Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower that as of the date hereof it is not aware of any claims available to it under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.17 or any circumstances which it has determined will enable it to make any such claims.

Section 2.19 Guaranties.  At all times prior to Termination, the Borrower shall cause the Loans and the Borrower's obligations under this Agreement to be guaranteed by a valid and effective continuing guaranty (collectively, the "Guaranties") substantially in the form of Exhibit "B", duly executed and delivered by each of the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule "2.19" attached hereto.

(b) The obligation of the Lender to issue and/or renew any Letters of Credit on behalf of the Borrower shall be subject to the following conditions precedent on the date of issuance or renewal of each such Letter of Credit:

(i) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender an application for letter of credit, specifying the amount of the requested letter of credit, the requested term thereof, which term may not exceed one year or the RLC Maturity Date, and the beneficiary thereof; and

(ii) No Event of Default shall exist and no event or condition shall exist that after notice or lapse of time, or both would constitute an Event of Default.

(a) Promptly after it shall have ascertained that any draft and any accompanying documents presented under a Letter of Credit appear to be in conformity with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, the Lender shall give written or telecopy notice to the Borrower of the receipt and amount of such draft and the date on which payment thereon will be made.

(b) If the Lender shall pay any draft presented under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to the amount of such draft before 10:00 a.m., Arizona time, on the Business Day immediately following the date of payment of such draft, together with interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate in effect for Base Rate Borrowings from (and including) the date of payment of such draft to (but excluding) the date of such payment by the Borrower.  The obligation of the Borrower to pay the amounts referred to above in this paragraph (b) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be satisfied strictly in accordance with their terms irrespective of:

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit or the Lender (other than the defense of payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or a defense based on the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender) or any other Person in connection with this Agreement or any other 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; provided that payment by the Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of such draft or document shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(iv) payment by the Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not comply in any immaterial respect with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct; or

Section 8.10 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.  Any previous agreement among any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.11 Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforce­ability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 8.12 Counterparts and Signature Pages.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  All parties hereto authorize the Lender to gather and attach manually executed counterpart signature pages to counterpart copies of this Agreement in order to constitute one or more counterparts bearing evidence of manual execution by all parties.

Section 8.13 Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

(a) Arbitration.  The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules.  Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Phoenix, Arizona selected by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA's commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA's optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the "Rules").  If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control.  Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure.  The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding.  This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers.  Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00.  Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators selected according to the Rules; provided, however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.  Each arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Arizona or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Arizona, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated.  The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim.  In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication.  The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Arizona and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award.  The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery.  In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules.  All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than twenty (20) days before the hearing date and within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA.  Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party's presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations.  The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

(h) Miscellaneous.  To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA.  No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation.  If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control.  This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of Arizona State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Phoenix, Arizona, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Arizona State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.1.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 8.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY (AMONG OTHER THINGS) THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 8.17 Confidentiality.  The Lender agrees to keep confidential (and to cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below), except that the Lender shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) to such of its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (including outside counsel) as need to know such Information; (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or requested by any bank regulatory authority (provided that the Lender shall, except for Information requested by any such bank regulatory authority, promptly notify the Borrower (to the extent practicable and lawful, notice shall be given to the Borrower before such disclosure is made so as to permit the Borrower to seek a protective order) of the circumstances and content of each such disclosure and shall request confidential treatment of any Information so disclosed); (iii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (B) becomes available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates, or (C) was available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Lender by the Borrower or its Affiliates; or (iv) to the extent the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure in writing.  As used in this Section 8.17, as to the Lender, "Information" shall mean any financial statements, materials, documents and other information that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates may have furnished or may hereafter furnish to the Lender in connection with this Agreement or any other materials prepared by any such person from any of the foregoing.  Lender shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Section 8.17 if Lender has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of Lender's own confidential information.

Section 8.18 Amendment and Restatement.  This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Credit Agreement dated September 15, 2005, executed by and between Borrower and Lender, as amended from time to time (the "Original Credit Agreement").  The Original Credit Agreement and all documents, instruments, agreements and contracts executed, delivered or required in connection with the Original Credit Agreement, as amended, modified, and/or restated from time to time, are hereinafter the "Original Loan Documents."  All outstanding loans made pursuant the Original Credit Agreement, and all outstanding accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, shall automatically be outstanding loans and accrued and unpaid interest made pursuant to this Agreement.  Neither Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder has any  claims, counterclaims, defenses, or set-offs with respect to the Original Loan Documents or the loan or the loan documents described therein.  Borrower and each Guarantor hereunder fully, finally, and absolutely and forever releases and discharges Lender and its present and former directors, shareholders, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, and their separate and respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, debts, damages, demands, liabilities, obligations, and suits, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity of Borrower or such Guarantor, whether now known or unknown to Borrower or any Guarantor, and whether contingent or matured, (i) in respect of the Original Loan Documents in respect of the loan or the loan documents described therein, and (ii) arising from events occurring prior to the date of this Agreement.  All of the liens or security interests, if any, created under the Original Credit Agreement or any of the Original Loan Documents, as amended and restated from time to time, shall secure all obligations described in this Agreement.

1. GUARANTY; DEFINITIONS.  In consideration of any credit or other financial accommodation heretofore, now or hereafter extended or made to KNIGHT TRANSPORTATION, INC., an Arizona corporation (the "Borrower"), by WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Lender under the hereinafter defined Credit Agreement (the "Lender"), and for other valuable consideration, the undersigned ("Guarantor"), unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to the Lender, or order, on demand in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, any and all Indebtedness of Borrower to the Lender.  The term "Indebtedness" is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of Borrower, heretofore, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, including under any swap, derivative, foreign exchange, hedge, deposit, treasury management or other similar transaction or arrangement, and whether Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery upon such Indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable.  The term "Credit Agreement" means that Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 21, 2013 of and between the Borrower and the Lender, as may be amended, modified, restated or replaced from time to time.

2. MAXIMUM LIABILITY; SUCCESSIVE TRANSACTIONS; REVOCATION; OBLIGATION UNDER OTHER GUARANTIES.  This is a continuing guaranty and all rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall apply to all past, present and future Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, including that arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Indebtedness, increase or decrease it, or from time to time create new Indebtedness after all or any prior Indebtedness has been satisfied, and notwithstanding the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of any of the Borrower or Guarantor or any other event or proceeding affecting any of the Borrower or Guarantor.  This Guaranty shall not apply to any new Indebtedness created after actual receipt by the Lender of written notice of its revocation as to such new Indebtedness; provided, however, that loans or advances made by the Lender to the Borrower after revocation under commitments existing prior to receipt by the Lender of such revocation, and extensions, renewals or modifications, of any kind, of Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower or committed by the Lender prior to receipt by the Lender of such revocation, shall not be considered new Indebtedness.  Any such notice must be sent to the Lender by registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to its office at 100 West Washington, 25th Floor, MAC S 4101-251, Phoenix, Arizona 85003, or at such other address as the Lender shall from time to time designate.  Any payment by Guarantor shall not reduce Guarantor's maximum obligation hereunder unless written notice to that effect is actually received by the Lender at or prior to the time of such payment.  The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be in addition to any obligations of Guarantor under any other guaranties of any liabilities or obligations of the Borrower or any other persons heretofore or hereafter given to the Lender unless said other guaranties are expressly modified or revoked in writing; and this Guaranty shall not, unless expressly herein provided, affect or invalidate any such other guaranties.

3. OBLIGATIONS JOINT AND SEVERAL; SEPARATE ACTIONS; WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; REINSTATEMENT OF LIABILITY.  The obligations hereunder are joint and several as to any other guarantor and independent of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against the Borrower or any other person, or whether the Borrower or any other person is joined in any such action or actions.  Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty is absolute and unconditional, there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty, and this Guaranty is in full force and effect and is binding on Guarantor as of the date written below, regardless of whether the Lender obtains collateral or any guaranties from others or takes any other action contemplated by Guarantor.  Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and Guarantor agrees that any payment of any Indebtedness or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor's liability hereunder.  The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of the Lender shall continue if and to the extent for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Indebtedness guaranteed hereby is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender, whether as a result of any proceedings in Bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.  The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or restored shall be made by the Lender in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if the Lender chooses to contest any such matter at the request of Guarantor, Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, including without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto.

4. AUTHORIZATIONS TO THE LENDER.  Guarantor authorizes the Lender either before or after revocation hereof, without notice to or demand on Guarantor, and without affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time to: (a) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate or release any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreement, mortgage or deed of trust, as the Lender in its discretion may determine; (d) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or any other guarantors of the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, or any other party thereto; and (e) apply payments received by the Lender from the Borrower to any Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, in such order as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, whether or not such Indebtedness is covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law regarding application of payments which specifies otherwise.  The Lender may without notice assign this Guaranty in whole or in part.  Upon the Lender's request, Guarantor agrees to provide to the Lender copies of Guarantor's financial statements.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that: (a) Guarantor shall not, without the Lender's prior written consent, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial or material part of Guarantor's assets other than in the ordinary course of Guarantor's business or to the Borrower or another Guarantor; (b) Lender has made no representation to Guarantor as to the creditworthiness of any of the Borrower; and (c) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from the Borrower on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the Borrower' financial condition.  Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor's risks hereunder, and Guarantor further agrees that the Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor any information or material about the Borrower which is acquired by the Lender in any manner.  Guarantor also agrees not to amend its trust agreement in a material way or that substantially affects the creditworthiness of the Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Lender.

(a) Guarantor waives any right to require the Lender to: (i) proceed against the Borrower or any other person; (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower or any other person; (iii) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale or other disposition of personal property security held from the Borrower or any other person; (iv) take any action or pursue any other remedy in the Lender's power; or (v) make any presentment or demand for performance, or give any notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by the Lender as security for or which constitute in whole or in part the Indebtedness guaranteed hereunder, or in connection with the creation of new or additional Indebtedness.

(b) Guarantor waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other person; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Borrower which is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of the Borrower; (iv) the application by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Indebtedness for purposes other than the purposes represented by the Borrower to, or intended or understood by, the Lender or Guarantor; (v) any act or omission by the Lender which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of the Borrower or any portion of the Indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of Lender against the Borrower; (vi) any impairment of the value of any interest in any security for the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (vii) any modification of the Indebtedness, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any Indebtedness incurred prior to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; or (viii) any requirement that the Lender give any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty.  Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Lender now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Lender.  Guarantor further waives all rights and defenses Guarantor may have arising out of (A) any election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Indebtedness, destroys Guarantor's rights of subrogation or Guarantor's rights to proceed against the Borrower for reimbursement, or (B) any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of the Borrower in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging the Borrower's Indebtedness, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including any rights Guarantor may have to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Indebtedness, and Guarantor waives the benefits of A.R.S. §§12-1566, 12-1641 et seq., 33-814, 44-142 and Rule 17(F) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.

7. THE LENDER'S RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO GUARANTOR'S PROPERTY IN THE LENDER'S POSSESSION.  In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the monies, securities or other property of Guarantor given to the Lender by law, the Lender shall have a lien upon and a right of setoff against all monies, securities and other property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with the Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit or for safekeeping or otherwise, and every such lien and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to Guarantor, provided that such right of setoff shall not apply to amounts which may be held in (i) trust accounts or (ii) asset management accounts, including without limitation brokerage accounts, cash management accounts or other money management or investment accounts of a non-depository nature with any lender.  No lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of the Lender, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or to enforce such lien, or by any delay in so doing, and every right of setoff and lien shall continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or lien is specifically waived or released by the Lender in writing.

8. SUBORDINATION.  Any Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender.  Such Indebtedness of the Borrower to Guarantor is assigned to the Lender as security for this Guaranty and the Indebtedness and, if the Lender requests, shall be collected and received by Guarantor as trustee for the Lender and paid over to the Lender on account of the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.  Any notes or other instruments now or hereafter evidencing such Indebtedness of the Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this Guaranty and, if the Lender so requests, shall be delivered to the Lender.  The Lender is hereby authorized in the name of Guarantor from time to time to file financing statements and continuation statements and execute such other documents and take such other action as the Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights hereunder.

9. REMEDIES; NO WAIVER.  All rights, powers and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative.  No delay, failure or discontinuance of the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by the Lender of any breach of this Guaranty, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.

10. COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.  Guarantor shall pay to the Lender immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (to include reasonable outside counsel fees) expended or incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement of any of the Lender's rights, powers or remedies and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the Lender under this Guaranty, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Guaranty, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with the Bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by the Lender or any other person) relating to Guarantor or any other person or entity.  All of the foregoing shall be paid by Guarantor with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the greater of ten percent (10%) or the Lender's Prime Rate in effect from time to time.

11. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNMENT.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties; provided, however, that Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its interests or rights hereunder without the Lender's prior written consent.  Guarantor acknowledges that the Lender has the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, any Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender and any obligations with respect thereto, including this Guaranty.  In connection therewith, the Lender may disclose all documents and information which the Lender now has or hereafter acquires relating to Guarantor and/or this Guaranty, whether furnished by the Borrower, Guarantor or otherwise.  Guarantor further agrees that the Lender may disclose such documents and information to the Borrower.

13. OBLIGATIONS OF MARRIED PERSONS.  Any married person who signs this Guaranty as a Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that recourse may be had against his or her separate property (as well as all marital property) for all his or her obligations under this Guaranty.

14. APPLICATION OF SINGULAR AND PLURAL.  In all cases where there is but a single Borrower, then all words used herein in the plural shall be deemed to have been used in the singular where the context and construction so require; and when there is more than one Borrower named herein, or when this Guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, the word "Borrower" and the word "Guarantor" respectively shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires.

15. UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS; SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.  Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth herein is made with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and that under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law.  If any waiver or other provision of this Guaranty shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable public policy or law, such waiver or other provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such waiver or other provision or any remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

(a) Arbitration.  The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related loan and security documents which are the subject of this Guaranty and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules.  Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Arizona selected by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA's commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA's optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the "Rules").  If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control.  Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a Lender of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure.  The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding.  This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers.  Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00.  Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.  The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Arizona or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Arizona, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated.  The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim.  In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication.  The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Arizona and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award.  The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery.  In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules.  All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than twenty (20) days before the hearing date and within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA.  Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party's presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations.  The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

(h) Miscellaneous.  To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA.  No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation.  If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the documents between the parties or the subject matter of the dispute shall control.  This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the documents or any relationship between the parties.
