2
of any liens or security interests granted to it pursuant to the Loan Documents against the claims and actions of any other creditors (including any bankruptcy trustee) and to make such filings as may be necessary and appropriate to insure or maintain the priority and perfection of such liens. No failure on the part of the Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable law.

SECTION 6. Newcastle Letter of Credit and the Newcastle Guaranty. The Obligors and Newcastle agree that if any Obligations shall remain outstanding on the Forbearance Termination Date, the Bank shall be entitled to draw on the Newcastle Letter of Credit or enforce its rights under the Newcastle Guaranty, as applicable, at any time following such Forbearance Termination Date. If the amount drawn by the Bank under the Newcastle Letter of Credit exceeds the amount of Obligations then outstanding (as determined by the Bank in its sole
3
discretion), the Bank shall promptly refund such excess amount to Newcastle. The Bank shall promptly return the Newcastle Letter of Credit to Newcastle upon the payment in full of the Obligations.
SECTION 7. Termination of the Swap Agreement. The Obligors and the Bank agree that the Interest Rate Swap Agreement dated as of February 27, 2001 between the Borrower and the Bank (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the Swap Agreement) is hereby terminated without necessity of any further action or notice by any party.

For avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Forbearance Period shall not begin until all Borrower Swap Termination Payments have paid. If any amounts are owing from the Bank to Borrower as a result of the termination of the Swap Agreement, such amounts shall be applied to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents.

As a result of the Existing Events of Default and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Bank has no obligation of any kind or type to make advances under the Loan Documents.

Any advances so made by the Bank shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note and shall become a part of the Obligations without necessity of any further action, and shall bear interest as set forth in this Agreement.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Bank has issued a Letter of Credit in favor of Northwestern National Insurance Company (or its affiliate) in the amount of $230,000 which will expire on November 30, 2006. The Bank has notified Northwestern National Insurance Company that the Bank does not intend to renew such Letter of Credit. In the event such Letter of Credit is drawn upon, all disbursements made by the Bank in connection with such Letter of Credit shall become a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest as set forth in this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, if the Letter of Credit issued in favor of Northwestern National Insurance Company is drawn upon, the occurrence of such drawing shall not cause the Forbearance Period to terminate.
SECTION 10. Remedies Upon Termination of the Forbearance Period. Upon the occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date, the Forbearance Period shall terminate without further act or action by the Bank, and the Bank shall be entitled immediately to institute Foreclosure Proceedings (as defined below) against any collateral securing the Obligations and to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies available to the Bank under the Loan Documents and this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise, without further notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or notice of intent to accelerate (it being acknowledged that the Obligations have been accelerated), notice of intent to foreclose, notice of sale, notice of protest or other formalities or any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower Parties.

4
judicial proceedings for the collection of the Obligations or the foreclosure of liens against any of the collateral securing the Obligations, (b) the nonjudicial foreclosure of any of the collateral securing the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Document and the Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, (c) a combination of (a) and (b), or (d) the exercise of any other remedies under the Loan Documents, including any right of setoff.

The headings herein shall be accorded no significance in interpreting this Agreement. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
8
Agreement should be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.

SECTION 23. Consent and Agreement with Respect to Certain Matters.

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