<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.1.1 <U>Individual Syndication Party Commitment</U>. No Syndication Party (other than the
Overnight Lender, which shall be permitted but not required to do so in the case of Overnight
Advances made in accordance with Section&nbsp;3.9) shall be required or permitted to make a 364-Day
Advance which would exceed its Individual Lending Capacity as in effect at the time of the
Administrative Agent&#146;s receipt of the Borrowing Notice requesting such 364-Day Advance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.1.2 <U>Individual Syndication Party Pro Rata Share</U>. No Syndication Party (other than the
Overnight Lender, which shall be permitted but not required to do so in the case of Overnight
Advances made in accordance with Section&nbsp;3.9) shall be required or permitted to fund a 364-Day
Advance in excess of an amount equal to its Individual Pro Rata Share multiplied by the amount of
the requested 364-Day Advance. Each Syndication Party agrees to fund its Individual Pro Rata Share
of each 364-Day Advance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.2 <U> Commitment</U>. Borrower shall not be entitled to request a 364-Day Advance in an amount
which, when added to the aggregate Individual Outstanding Obligations of all Syndication Parties,
would exceed the Commitment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.3 <U> Borrowing Notice</U>. Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice
by facsimile or electronic mail(effective upon receipt) of each request for a 364-Day Advance
(other than an Overnight Advance, which shall be subject to Section&nbsp;3.9)(a) in the case of a Base
Rate Loan, on or before 11:00&nbsp;A.M. (Central time) on the requested Banking Day of making such Base
Rate Loan, and (b)&nbsp;in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, on or before 11:00&nbsp;A.M. (Central time) at least
three (3)&nbsp;Banking Days prior to the date of making such LIBO Rate Loan. Each notice must be in
substantially the form of <U>Exhibit&nbsp;2.3</U> hereto (&#147;<B>Borrowing Notice</B>&#148;) and must specify (w)&nbsp;the
amount of such 364-Day Advance (which must be a minimum of $10,000,000.00 and in incremental
multiples of $1,000,000.00), (x)&nbsp;the proposed date of making such 364-Day Advance, (y)&nbsp;whether
Borrower requests that the 364-Day Advance will bear interest at (i)&nbsp;the Base Rate or (ii)&nbsp;the LIBO
Rate, and (z)&nbsp;in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, the initial LIBO Rate Period applicable thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall, on or before 12:00 noon (Central time) of the same Banking Day, notify
each Syndication Party (&#147;<B>Funding Notice</B>&#148;) of its receipt of each such Borrowing Notice and the
amount of such Syndication Party&#146;s Funding Share thereunder. Not later than 2:00 P.M. (Central
time) on the date of a 364-Day Advance, each Syndication Party will make available to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent&#146;s Office, in immediately available funds, such
Syndication Party&#146;s Funding Share of such 364-Day Advance. After the Administrative Agent&#146;s
receipt of such funds, but (if so received) not later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) on such Banking
Day (or if not so received by such time, promptly following receipt thereof), and upon fulfillment
of the applicable conditions set forth in Article&nbsp;10 hereof, the Administrative Agent will make
such 364-Day Advance available to Borrower, in immediately available funds, and will transmit such
funds by wire transfer to Borrower&#146;s Account. A 364-Day Advance may be requested by the Overnight
Lender as provided in Section&nbsp;3.9 hereof, by a written notice to the Administrative Agent generally
complying with the requirements set forth above for a Borrowing Notice, provided that such amount
shall initially bear interest at the Base Rate, and such notice may be provided on or before 11:00
A.M. (Central Time) on the day of making such 364-Day Advance (and such notice shall be deemed
automatically given upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default under Section
14.1(f) or upon the exercise of remedies provided in Section&nbsp;14.3). Thereafter on or before 1:00
P.M. (Central Time) on the date of such 364-Day Advance the Administrative Agent shall send out a
Funding Notice, each Syndication Party shall make available to the Administrative Agent such
Syndication Party&#146;s Funding Share thereof as provided above on or before 3:00 P.M. (Central Time)
on such day, and the Administrative Agent shall transmit such funds by wire transfer to the
Overnight Lender promptly thereafter.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.4 <U>Promise to Pay; Facility Promissory Notes</U>. Borrower promises to pay to the order of
each Syndication Party, at the office of the Administrative Agent at 5500 South Quebec Street,
Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, or such other place as the Administrative Agent shall direct in
writing, an amount equal to (a)&nbsp;the outstanding amount of (i)&nbsp;364-Day Advances (including Overnight
Advances, if any) and (ii)&nbsp;Bid Advances, in each case made by such Syndication Party; plus (b)&nbsp;any
Bank Debt owing hereunder to such Syndication Party; plus (c)&nbsp;interest as set forth herein, payable
to such Syndication Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office. All such amounts are to
be payable in the manner and at the time set forth in this Credit Agreement. At the request of any
Syndication Party, made to the Administrative Agent which shall then provide notice to Borrower,
Borrower, in order to further evidence its obligations to such Syndication Party as set forth above
in this Section, agrees to execute its promissory note in substantially the form of <U>Exhibit
2.4</U> hereto duly completed, in the stated maximum principal amount equal to such Syndication
Party&#146;s Individual Commitment (and the Overnight Funding Commitment, in the case of the Overnight
Lender), dated the date of this Credit Agreement, payable to such Syndication Party for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office, and maturing as to principal on the Maturity Date (or the
Overnight Maturity Date, in the case of Overnight Advances) (each a &#147;<B>Facility Note</B>&#148; and
collectively, the &#147;<B>Facility Notes</B>&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.5 <U><B>&#091;</B>Intentionally Omitted<B>&#093;</B></U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.6 <U>Syndication Party Records</U>. Each Syndication Party shall record on its books and
records the amount of each 364-Day Advance made by it hereunder, the rate and interest period
applicable thereto, all payments of principal and interest, and the principal balance from time to
time outstanding. The Syndication Party&#146;s record thereof shall be prima facie evidence as to all
such amounts and shall be binding on Borrower absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower will never be required to pay as principal more than the principal amount of the 364-Day
Advances and Bid Advances funded by such Syndication Party.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.7 <U>Use of Proceeds</U>. The proceeds of the Loans will be used by Borrower (a)&nbsp;on the Closing
Date, to payoff any outstanding obligations under the 2006 Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, (b)&nbsp;to fund working capital requirements, (c)&nbsp;for general corporate purposes, (d)&nbsp;to
payoff Overnight Advances (at the request of either Borrower or the Overnight Lender) and (e)&nbsp;an
aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000.00 to make required payments of principal under any
commercial paper facility issued by Borrower, and Borrower agrees not to request or use such
proceeds for any other purpose. Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use any part of such
proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of
Regulation&nbsp;U of the Board of Governors or to extend credit to any Person for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.8 <U>Syndication Party Funding Failure</U>. The failure of any Syndication Party to fund its
Funding Share of any requested 364-Day Advance or risk participation to be made by it on the date
specified for such Advance shall not relieve any other Syndication Party of its obligation (if any)
to fund its Funding Share of any Advance or risk participation on such date, but no Syndication
Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Syndication Party to make any Advance or
risk participation to be made by such other Syndication Party.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.9 <U>Reduction of Commitment</U>. Borrower may, by written facsimile or electronic mail notice
to the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00&nbsp;A.M. (Central time) on any Banking Day, irrevocably
reduce the Commitment; provided that (a)&nbsp;such reduction must be in multiples of one-million dollars
($1,000,000.00), and (b)&nbsp;Borrower must simultaneously make any principal payment necessary (along
with any applicable Funding Losses on account of such principal payment) so that (i)&nbsp;the aggregate
amount of the Individual Outstanding Obligations of all Syndication Parties does not exceed the
reduced Commitment on the date of such reduction, and (ii)&nbsp;the Individual Outstanding Obligations
owing to any Syndication Party do not exceed the Individual Commitment of that Syndication Party
(after reduction thereof in accordance with the following sentence). In the event the Commitment is
reduced as provided in the preceding sentence, then the Individual Commitment of each Syndication
Party shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Individual Commitment of such Syndication
Party bears to the Commitment before such reduction.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.10 <U>Increase of Commitment</U>. Borrower shall have the right to increase the Commitment
(&#147;<B>Commitment Increase</B>&#148;) from time to time by an aggregate amount over the life of this Agreement
not to exceed the Maximum Commitment Increase Amount; provided that each of the following
conditions has been satisfied: (a)&nbsp;no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred (or if a
Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred, it has been waived in writing by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;15.10 hereof); (b)&nbsp;Borrower has
submitted to the Administrative Agent a written request for such Commitment Increase, specifying
(i)&nbsp;the aggregate dollar amount thereof, which shall be a minimum of $50,000,000.00 and in
increments of $1,000,000.00, (ii)&nbsp;the name of one or more financial institutions or Farm Credit
System Institutions (which, in any case, may be an existing Syndication Party hereunder, it being
understood that any such existing Syndication Party, if requested to participate,&nbsp;shall be entitled
to agree or decline to participate) that has committed to provide funding of the Commitment
Increase pursuant to the terms of, and as a Syndication Party under, this Credit Agreement (each a
&#147;<B>Funding Source</B>&#148;), and (iii)&nbsp;the amount of the Commitment Increase which each such Funding Source
has committed to provide, which must be a minimum of $10,000,000.00 and in increments of
$1,000,000.00; (c)&nbsp;each Funding Source has, unless it is at such time a Syndication Party
hereunder, executed an agreement in the form of Exhibit&nbsp;2.10 hereto (&#147;<B>Adoption Agreement</B>&#148;); (d)&nbsp;the
Administrative Agent has approved each Funding Source as a Syndication Party hereunder (unless such
Funding Source is already a Syndication Party), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(e)&nbsp;each Funding Source has remitted to the Administrative Agent, by wire transfer in accordance
with the Wire Instructions, the amount directed by the Administrative Agent so that such Funding
Source will have funded its share (based on such Funding Source&#146;s Individual Pro Rata Share as
recalculated as provided in clause (w)&nbsp;below in this Section) of all outstanding Advances other
than Bid Advances and Overnight Advances, to the extent not previously funded by such Funding
Source; and (f)&nbsp;Borrower has, if requested by such Funding Source(s), executed such additional
Facility Notes payable to such Funding Source(s) and in such amounts, as the Administrative Agent
shall require to reflect the Commitment Increase. Upon the satisfaction of each of the foregoing
conditions, (v)&nbsp;the Commitment shall be automatically increased by the amount of the Commitment
Increase; (w)&nbsp;the Individual Pro Rata Share of each of the Syndication Parties, including the
Funding Source(s) and, if such Funding Source is an existing Syndication Party, the Individual
Commitment of such existing Syndication Party, shall be recalculated by the Administrative Agent to
reflect the amount of the Commitment Increase which each such Funding Source has committed to
provide, and the amount of the Commitment Increase; (x)&nbsp;the Funding Source(s) shall be allocated a
share of all existing 364-Day Advances, other than Bid Advances and Overnight Advances, and any
such amounts remitted pursuant to clause (e)&nbsp;above shall be allocated among, and paid over to,
those Persons who were Syndication Parties prior to the Commitment Increase, based on their
Individual Pro Rata Shares as they existed prior to the Commitment Increase, to reflect a reduction
in their share of outstanding 364-Day Advances (other than Bid Advances and Overnight Advances);
(y)&nbsp;to the extent that any Syndication Party is entitled to recover Funding Losses on account of
having been allocated any portion of the amounts remitted pursuant to clause (e)&nbsp;above, Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Funding Losses which the Administrative
Agent shall then forward to such Syndication Party; and (z)&nbsp;the Administrative Agent shall revise
Schedule&nbsp;1 to reflect the Commitment Increase.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.1 <U>Bid Rate Loans</U>. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement,
including the procedures set forth in Article&nbsp;3 hereof, each Syndication Party may in its sole
discretion make Advances (each Advance made by a Syndication Party pursuant to this Section a &#147;<B>Bid
Advance</B>&#148; and the total of such Advances made by the Syndication Parties the &#147;<B>Bid Rate Loans</B>&#148;) to
Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, provided that:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.1.1 <U>Individual Commitment</U>. No Syndication Party shall be permitted to make a Bid Advance
under the Facility which, when added to its aggregate Individual Outstanding Obligations, would
exceed such Syndication Party&#146;s Individual Commitment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.1.2 <U>Commitment</U>. Borrower may not make a Bid Request in an amount which, when added to
the aggregate Individual Outstanding Obligations of all Syndication Parties, would exceed the
Commitment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.1.3 <U>Amounts</U>. Each Bid Request shall be in an amount at least equal to five million
dollars ($5,000,000) and in integral multiples of one million dollars ($1,000,000), and each Bid
shall be in an amount at least equal to one million dollars ($1,000,000) or the amount remaining
under the Individual Commitment of the Syndication Party submitting such Bid, if less. Each Bid
Advance made by a Syndication Party will be in the amount of its Bids, or portions thereof, under
the Facility that are accepted by Borrower in accordance with Section&nbsp;3.4 hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.2 <U>Bid Request</U>. No more frequently than once each Banking Day, Borrower may request
offers from all Syndication Parties which have an Individual Commitment, acting severally and not
jointly, to make Bid Advances by giving the Bid Agent notice by facsimile or electronic mail
(effective upon receipt), substantially in the form of <U>Exhibit&nbsp;3.2</U> hereto (&#147;<B>Bid Request</B>&#148;)
on or before 9:00 A.M. (Central time) on the Banking Day the proposed Bid Rate Loan is to be made.
By 9:30 A.M. (Central time) of the same Banking Day, the Bid Agent shall, by facsimile or
electronic mail transmission, send to all of the Syndication Parties eligible to receive a Bid
Request a copy of such Bid Request. Each Bid Request must specify (a)&nbsp;the total amount of such
requested Bid Advances, (b)&nbsp;the individual amount of each requested Bid Advance with a different
proposed Bid Maturity Date, (c)&nbsp;the proposed Banking Day of making such Bid Advance (which shall be
the same Banking Day on which the Bid Request is submitted), and (d)&nbsp;the proposed maturity dates
for such Bid Advances (each a &#147;<B>Bid Maturity Date</B>&#148;) which must be Banking Days and which must not
extend more than thirty (30)&nbsp;days beyond the Maturity Date. Borrower may request offers to make
more than one Bid Rate Loan (up to a maximum of five (5)&nbsp;Bid Rate Loans in a single Bid Request),
each with a different Bid Maturity Date, in a single Bid Request.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.3 <U>Bid Procedure</U>. Each Syndication Party with an Individual Commitment may, in its sole
discretion, submit to the Bid Agent a written quote, substantially in the form of <U>Exhibit
3.3</U> hereto and signed by an authorized signatory of such Syndication Party as determined by the
Bid Agent in its sole discretion (&#147;<B>Bid</B>&#148;), containing an offer or offers to make one or more Bid
Advances in a specified amount or amounts in response to such Bid Request (and may elect to bid
with respect to any or all Bid Advances with different Bid Maturity Dates specified in the Bid
Request); provided, however, each Syndication Party is limited to one Bid submission per Bid
Request (which may cover more than one Bid Maturity Date) and a Syndication Party may not submit a
Bid in an amount in excess of such Syndication Party&#146;s Individual Lending Capacity. A Bid may set
forth offers for up to five (5)&nbsp;separate Bid Rates for each of the applicable Bid Advances,
provided that each Bid shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Advances for all Bid
Maturity Dates that the Syndication Party submitting such Bid is willing to make at the interest
rate or rates specified in such Bid (each a &#147;<B>Bid Rate</B>&#148;) pursuant to such Bid. Each Bid by a
Syndication Party (other than by the Bid Agent acting in its capacity as a Syndication Party) must
be submitted to the Bid Agent by facsimile or electronic mail not later than 10:15&nbsp;A.M. (Central
time) on the same Banking Day. The Bid Agent, in its capacity as a Syndication Party, may submit
Bids; provided such Bids must be finalized not later than 10:00&nbsp;A.M. (Central time) on the same
Banking Day. Each Bid shall be irrevocable. The Bid Agent shall disregard a Bid if it (a)&nbsp;is not
substantially in conformity with <U>Exhibit&nbsp;3.3</U> hereto, (b)&nbsp;contains qualifying or conditional
language, (c)&nbsp;proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid
Request, or (d)&nbsp;arrives after the applicable time set forth in this Section. By 10:30&nbsp;A.M. (Central
time) on the same Banking Day, the Bid Agent shall send copies of all Bids to Borrower by facsimile
or electronic mail (&#147;<B>Bid Results Notice</B>&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.4 <U>Bid Acceptance Procedure</U>. Not later than 11:00&nbsp;A.M. (Central time) on the same Banking
Day, Borrower shall provide to the Bid Agent by facsimile or electronic mail notice, in the form of
<U>Exhibit&nbsp;3.4</U> hereto, of its acceptance or rejection of each of the Bids submitted to
Borrower by the Bid Results Notice (&#147;<B>Bid Selection Notice</B>&#148;). In the case of each acceptance the Bid
Selection Notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Advances for each of the Bids
that are accepted. Regardless of the amounts or interest rates bid by any Syndication Party,
Borrower may accept or decline any Bid in whole or in part, provided that (a)&nbsp;the aggregate
principal amount of Bid Advances accepted may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the
related Bid Request, and (b)&nbsp;Borrower may not accept any offer that fails to comply with this
Article&nbsp;3. Bids not accepted by 11:00&nbsp;A.M. (Central time) will be irrevocably deemed to have been
rejected by Borrower. No later than 12:00 noon (Central time) on the same Banking Day, the Bid
Agent shall send, by facsimile or electronic mail, a copy of such Bid Selection Notice to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall inform each Syndication Party which
submitted a Bid of the acceptance or rejection of such Bid and if accepted the terms thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.5 <U>Bid Rate Loan Funding</U>. Not later than 1:00 P.M. (Central time) on the same Banking
Day, each Syndication Party that is to make one or more Bid Advances in accordance with the Bid
Selection Notice shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent&#146;s
Office, in immediately available funds, an amount sufficient to fund such Bid Advances. After the
Administrative Agent&#146;s receipt of such funds, but (if so received) not later than 2:00 P.M.
(Central time), and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article&nbsp;10 hereof,
the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Bid Advances available to Borrower, in
immediately available funds, and will transmit such funds by wire transfer to Borrower&#146;s Account.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.6 <U>Syndication Party Funding Failure</U>. In the event any Syndication Party fails to make
any requested Bid Advance to be made by it on the date specified for such Advance, the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in its role and capacity of the
Administrative Agent, advance such funds to Borrower on behalf of such Syndication Party,
notwithstanding limitations, if any, contained herein relating to the Administrative Agent in its
role as a Syndication Party, including its Individual Commitment or Individual Lending Capacity. In
the event of the funding of any such Advance by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Party
failing to fund such Advance will be treated as a Delinquent Syndication Party under Section&nbsp;15.4
hereof, and the Administrative Agent will be treated as a Contributing Syndication Party under such
Section.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.7 <U>Bid Rate Loans &#151; Bid Maturity Date Beyond Maturity Date</U>. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Credit Agreement that may be construed to the contrary, in the event that a
Syndication Party, at its sole discretion, makes a Bid Advance to Borrower with a Bid Maturity Date
later than the Maturity Date; and (a) (i)&nbsp;the Maturity Date is subsequently extended by amendment
to this Credit Agreement; and (ii)&nbsp;such Syndication Party does not renew its Individual Commitment
at a level at least equal to the outstanding amount of such Bid Advance, then, in such case, such
outstanding amount will be due and payable by Borrower, and accepted by such Syndication Party, on
the Maturity Date (as in effect prior to such extension thereof) without any liability for Funding
Losses on such amount; or (b)&nbsp;the Maturity Date is not subsequently extended by amendment to this
Credit Agreement, then, in each such case, such outstanding amount will be repaid by Borrower in
accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement (including provision for Funding Losses) and
this Credit Agreement will be deemed to continue in force for the limited purpose of facilitating
such payments.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.8 <U>Failure to Implement Bid Process</U>. In the event the Bid Agent fails to hold an auction
pursuant to a proper Bid Request, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion
and in its role and capacity of the Administrative Agent, make an Advance to Borrower on behalf of
all Syndication Parties in the amount of each Bid Advance requested in such Bid Request to bear
interest at the then current Base Rate to be repaid out of proceeds of Bid Advances on the next
Banking Day, and in such event the Administrative Agent will cause the Bid Agent to hold the
auction for such Bid Advances the following Banking Day.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.9 <U>Overnight Advances</U>. In addition to Borrower&#146;s right to request a 364-Day Advance under
Article&nbsp;2 hereof or a Bid Advance under Section&nbsp;3.2 hereof, Borrower may, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section and Section&nbsp;10.2 hereof, at any time before 2:00 P.M. (Central time) on
a Banking Day, request the Overnight Lender to make an Advance to Borrower under the Facility on
the same Banking Day (&#147;<B>Overnight Advance</B>&#148;) in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Each
Banking Day by 10:30&nbsp;A.M. (Central time) the Overnight Lender may notify Borrower of the interest
rate (&#147;<B>Overnight Rate</B>&#148;) that it will charge on all Overnight Advances made that Banking Day
(provided that if the Overnight Lender does not so notify the Borrower, the Overnight Rate shall be
equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time). Borrower&#146;s request for an Overnight Advance
(&#147;<B>Overnight Advance Request</B>&#148;) shall be made in writing by facsimile or electronic mail, must be
directed to the Overnight Lender, and must specify the amount of such Advance. If Borrower submits
an Overnight Advance Request, the Overnight Lender shall promptly, but not later than 3:00 P.M.
(Central time) on the same Banking Day, fund such Overnight Advance and advise the Administrative
Agent in writing of the amount and Overnight Rate of such Overnight Advance. Each Overnight Advance
shall bear interest at the applicable Overnight Rate and shall be payable in full, including
interest, on the earliest of (a)&nbsp;the fifth day of the next succeeding month following the date of
the Advance, (b)&nbsp;one Banking Day following demand for repayment by the Overnight Lender at its sole
discretion or (c)&nbsp;the Maturity Date (the &#147;<B>Overnight Maturity Date</B>&#148;). Such payment may, at
Borrower&#146;s discretion, and subject to the conditions of this Credit Agreement, be made by an
Advance under the Facility. Overnight Advances shall be made only by the Overnight Lender.
Borrower&#146;s entitlement to receive, and the Overnight Lender&#146;s obligation to fund, any Overnight
Advance shall be subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Section&nbsp;2.1 hereof and
applicable to 364-Day Advances generally and, in addition, (x)&nbsp;the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all such Overnight Advances shall not at any time exceed the Overnight Funding
Commitment, and (y)&nbsp;the aggregate Individual Outstanding Obligations of all Syndication Parties
(after giving effect to such Overnight Advances and risk participations therein) shall not exceed
the Commitment. Immediately upon the making of an Overnight Advance in accordance with the terms
hereof, each Syndication Party (other than the Overnight Lender) shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Overnight Lender a risk participation
in such Syndication Party&#146;s Individual Pro Rata Share of such Overnight Advance, which shall be
funded in accordance with this Section. Such obligation to risk participate shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Syndication Party may have. At the sole discretion of the Overnight Lender, any Overnight
Advance may be paid off at any time by a 364-Day Advance requested by the Overnight Lender pursuant
to Section&nbsp;2.3. If for any reason such Overnight Advance cannot be so paid off, each Syndication
Party shall, at the request of the Overnight Lender, promptly fund its risk participation in such
Overnight Advance directly to the Overnight Lender. The Overnight Lender may terminate or suspend
its commitment to make Overnight Advances at any time in its sole discretion upon notice to the
Borrower.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.10 <U>Overnight Advance Funding Failure</U>. In the event the Overnight Lender fails to make
any requested Overnight Advance to be made by it on the date specified for such Advance, the
Administrative Agent (in that capacity) may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in its role
and capacity of the Administrative Agent, advance such funds to Borrower on behalf of such
Overnight Lender, notwithstanding limitations, if any, contained herein relating to the
Administrative Agent in its role as a Syndication Party, including its Individual Commitment or
Individual Lending Capacity. In the event of any such advance by the Administrative Agent, the
Overnight Lender will be treated as a Delinquent Syndication Party under Section&nbsp;15.4 hereof, and
the Administrative Agent will be treated as a Contributing Syndication Party under such Section. In
the event of any failure by a Syndication Party to fund its risk participation of an Overnight
Advance in accordance with Section&nbsp;3.9, such Syndication Party will be treated as a Delinquent
Syndication Party under Section&nbsp;15.4 hereof, and the Overnight Lender will be treated as a
Contributing Syndication Party under such Section.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.1.1 <U>Base Rate Option</U>. Unless Borrower requests and receives a LIBO Rate Loan pursuant to
Subsection 5.1.2 hereof, the outstanding principal balance owing hereunder for 364-Day Advances
(unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.9, in the case of Overnight Advances) shall bear
interest at the Base Rate (each a &#147;<B>Base Rate Loan</B>&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.1.2 <U>LIBO Rate Option</U>. From time to time, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, at the request of Borrower included in a Borrowing Notice, all or any part of
the outstanding principal balance owing hereunder for 364-Day Advances may bear interest at the
LIBO Rate (each a &#147;<B>LIBO Rate Loan</B>&#148;); provided that Borrower may have no more than ten (10)&nbsp;LIBO
Rate Loans outstanding at any time. To effect this option, the Borrowing Notice must specify (a)
the principal amount that is to bear interest at the LIBO Rate, which must be a minimum of
$10,000,000.00 and in incremental multiples of $1,000,000.00 and (b)&nbsp;the period selected by
Borrower during which the LIBO Rate is to be applied (&#147;<B>LIBO Rate Period</B>&#148;), which may be any period
of one, two, three, or six months, but must expire no later than the Maturity Date. In addition,
Borrower may convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan, or continue a LIBO Rate Loan, by
making a written request therefor, substantially in the form of <U>Exhibit&nbsp;5.1</U> hereto
(&#147;<B>Conversion or Continuation Notice</B>&#148;), to the Administrative Agent by facsimile or electronic mail
at least three (3)&nbsp;Banking Days prior to the first date of the LIBO Rate Period therefor,
specifying (y)&nbsp;the principal amount that is to bear interest at the LIBO Rate, which must be a
minimum of $10,000,000.00 and in incremental multiples of $1,000,000.00 and (z)&nbsp;the LIBO Rate
Period selected by Borrower during which the LIBO Rate is to be applied. The Administrative Agent
shall incur no liability in acting upon a request which it believed in good faith had been made by
a properly authorized employee of Borrower. Following the expiration of the LIBO Rate Period for
any LIBO Rate Loan, interest shall automatically accrue at the Base Rate unless Borrower requests
and receives another LIBO Rate Loan as provided in this Subsection.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.2 <U>Additional Provisions for LIBO Rate Loans</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.2.1 <U>Limitation on LIBO Rate Loans</U>. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if,
on or prior to the determination of the LIBO Rate for any LIBO Rate Period:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">(a)&nbsp;The Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that
quotations of interest rates in accordance with the definition of LIBO Rate are not being provided
in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of
interest for LIBO Rate Loans as provided in this Credit Agreement; or


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">(b)&nbsp;any Syndication Party determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the
relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBO Rate upon the basis of which the
rate of interest for LIBO Rate Loans for such LIBO Rate Period is to be determined do not
adequately cover the cost to the Syndication Parties of making or maintaining such LIBO Rate Loans
for such LIBO Rate Period;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">then the Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such
condition remains in effect, in the case of clause (a)&nbsp;above, the Syndication Parties, and in the
case of clause (b)&nbsp;above, the Syndication Party that makes the determination, shall be under no
obligation to make LIBO Rate Loans, convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans, or continue LIBO
Rate Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last days of the then current applicable LIBO Rate Periods
for the outstanding LIBO Rate Loans, either prepay such LIBO Rate Loans or such LIBO Rate Loans
shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan in accordance with Section&nbsp;5.1 hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.2.2 <U>LIBO Rate Loan Unlawful</U>. If any law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination of a
court or governmental authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof subsequent to the Closing Date (including any rules or regulations issued under or
implementing any existing law, treaty, rule or regulation) (each, a &#147;<B>Change in Law</B>&#148;) shall make it
unlawful for any of the Syndication Parties to (a)&nbsp;advance its Funding Share of any LIBO Rate Loan
or (b)&nbsp;maintain its share of all or any portion of the LIBO Rate Loans, each such Syndication Party
shall promptly, by telephone (in which case it must be promptly followed by a writing) or facsimile
or electronic mail, notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and of the reasons therefor and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower thereof and shall provide a copy of such
written notice to Borrower. In the former event, any obligation of any such Syndication Party to
make available its Funding Share of any future LIBO Rate Loan shall immediately be canceled (and,
in lieu thereof shall be made as a Base Rate Loan), and in the latter event, any such unlawful LIBO
Rate Loans or portions thereof then outstanding shall be converted, at the option of such
Syndication Party, to a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that if any such Change in Law shall
permit the LIBO Rate to remain in effect until the expiration of the LIBO Rate Period applicable to
any such unlawful LIBO Rate Loan, then such LIBO Rate Loan shall continue in effect until the
expiration of such LIBO Rate Period. Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events on account
of any Change in Law, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand such
amounts as may be necessary to compensate any such Syndication Party for any fees, charges, or
other costs (including Funding Losses) incurred or payable by such Syndication Party as a result
thereof and which are attributable to any LIBO Rate Loan made available to Borrower hereunder, and
any reasonable allocation made by any such Syndication Party among its operations shall be
conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.2.3 <U>Treatment of Affected Loans</U>. If the obligations of any Syndication Party to make or
continue LIBO Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans, are suspended
pursuant to Subsection 5.2.1 or 5.2.2 hereof (all LIBO Rate Loans so affected being herein called
&#147;<B>Affected Loans</B>&#148;), such Syndication Party&#146;s Affected Loans shall, on the last day(s) of the then
current LIBO Rate Period(s) for the Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by
Subsection 5.2.1 or 5.2.2, on such earlier date as such Syndication Party may specify to Borrower),
be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans for the account of such Syndication Party. To the
extent that such Syndication Party&#146;s Affected Loans have been so converted, all payments and
prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Syndication Party&#146;s Affected
Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans. All Advances which would otherwise be made
or continued by such Syndication Party as LIBO Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as
Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Syndication Party which would otherwise be
converted into LIBO Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.3 <U>Default Interest Rate</U>. All past due payments on 364-Day Advances (including Overnight
Advances), Bid Advances, or of any other Bank Debt (whether as a result of nonpayment by Borrower
when due, at maturity, or upon acceleration) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from
and after the due date for the payment, or on the date of maturity or acceleration, as the case may
be.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.4 <U>Interest Calculation</U>. Interest on all Loans shall be calculated on the actual number
of days the principal owing thereunder is outstanding with the daily rate calculated on the basis
of a year consisting of 360&nbsp;days. In calculating interest, the Advance Date shall be included and
the date each payment is received shall be excluded.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.5 <U>Fees</U>. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the following fees:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.5.1 <U>Facility Fee</U>. A non-refundable fee (&#147;<B>Facility Fee</B>&#148;) calculated in arrears as of the
end of each of Borrower&#146;s Fiscal Quarters following the Closing Date, until the Loans are paid in
full, and the Syndication Parties have no further obligation to make a 364-Day Advance. The
Facility Fee for each such period shall be equal to (a)&nbsp;the average daily Commitment in effect
during such period, (b)&nbsp;multiplied by the average daily Facility Fee Factor in effect during such
period, as converted to a daily rate using a year of 360&nbsp;days, (c)&nbsp;with the product thereof being
further multiplied by the number of days in such period. The Facility Fee shall be payable to the
Administrative Agent in arrears on the Banking Day coinciding with, or immediately preceding the
fifth (5th) day after the close of each such Fiscal Quarter, for distribution to each Syndication
Party in the ratio that its Individual Commitment bears to the Commitment as calculated by the
Administrative Agent on the last day of each such period.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.6 <U>Margin; Facility Fee Factor</U>. If the Compliance Certificate with respect to any Fiscal
Quarter or Fiscal Year is not received by the Administrative Agent by the date required as provided
in Subsections 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 hereof, the Margin and the Facility Fee Factor for the period
commencing on the first day of the Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year commencing immediately after the
Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year for which such Compliance Report was required, shall each be
determined based on Tier 1 of <U>Schedule&nbsp;2</U> for that entire Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.3 <U>Application of Principal Payments</U>. Subject to Section&nbsp;14.4, principal payments and
prepayments shall be applied (a)&nbsp;so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred
and is continuing, to principal amounts owing under the Facility, including to Overnight Advances,
as Borrower directs in writing (provided that Bid Rate Loans may not be prepaid); or (b)&nbsp;if an

directs otherwise in writing. However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default or Potential Default, all payments shall be applied, first to fees, second to interest,
third to principal pro-rata to all Loans, and last to any other Bank Debt.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.4 <U>Manner of Payment</U>. All payments, including prepayments, that Borrower is required or

deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">(d)&nbsp;within thirty (30)&nbsp;days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any
deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30)&nbsp;days after the due date of payment of any tax
which it is required by clause (b)&nbsp;above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and

notice to the Administrative Agent prior to making such prepayment, and (ii)&nbsp;Borrower must, at the
time of making such prepayment, pay all accrued but unpaid interest and all Funding Losses
applicable to such prepayment, and (b)&nbsp;Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Bid Rate
Loan before the applicable Bid Maturity Date, but if a Bid Rate Loan is deemed prepaid on account
of acceleration, Borrower must pay all Funding Losses applicable to such prepayment. Principal
amounts prepaid may be reborrowed under the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement.

the 364-Day Advance to which such payments are applied.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.6.2 <U>Principal and Interest Payments on Bid Advances</U>. Principal and interest payments on
Bid Advances shall be remitted to the Syndication Party which made the Bid Advance to which such

payments on Overnight Advances shall be remitted to the Overnight Lender.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.7 <U>Funding Losses</U>. The Borrower will indemnify each Syndication Party against any Funding
Losses that such Syndication Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of any event (other than a
default by such Syndication Party in the performance of its obligations hereunder) which results in
(a)&nbsp;such Syndication Party receiving any amount on account of the principal of any LIBO Rate Loan
or Bid Rate Loan prior to the last day of the LIBO Rate Period in effect therefor (in the case of
LIBO Rate Loans) or the Bid Maturity Date therefor (in the case of Bid Rate Loans), (b)&nbsp;the
conversion of a LIBO Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, or any conversion of the LIBO Rate Period with
respect to any LIBO Rate Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the LIBO Rate Period in
effect therefor, or (c)&nbsp;any LIBO Rate Loan to be made, converted or continued by such Syndication
Party not being made, converted or continued after notice thereof shall have been given by the
Borrower. &#147;<B>Funding Losses</B>&#148; shall be determined on an individual Syndication Party basis as the
amount which would result in such Syndication Party being made whole (on a present value basis) for
the actual or imputed funding losses (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense
incurred by reason of obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired by such
Syndication Party to fund or maintain a LIBO Rate Loan or Bid Rate Loan) incurred by such
Syndication Party as a result of such payment (regardless of whether the Syndication Party actually
funded with such deposits). In the event of any such payment, each Syndication Party which had
funded the LIBO Rate Loan being paid (or the Syndication Party which made the Bid Advance being
prepaid) shall, promptly after being notified of such payment, send written notice (&#147;<B>Funding Loss
Notice</B>&#148;) to the Administrative Agent by facsimile or electronic mail setting forth the amount of
attributable Funding Losses. The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower orally or in writing of
the amount of such Funding Losses. A determination by a Syndication Party as to the amounts
payable pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

available to respond to any award which may be granted on account of such claim. So long as the
conditions of the preceding sentence are met, Indemnified Party shall have no further right to

indemnification as it applies to the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Syndication Party

to the extent received, for application against Delinquency Interest and the Delinquent Amount, the
Delinquent Syndication Party&#146;s Payment Distribution and any fee distributions or distributions made
under Section&nbsp;15.11 hereof until the Delinquent Amount and all Delinquency Interest have been paid
in full. For voting purposes the Administrative Agent shall readjust the Individual Commitments of
such Delinquent Syndication Party and the Contributing Syndication Parties from time to time first
to reflect the advance of the Delinquent Amount by the Contributing Syndication Parties, and then
to reflect the full or partial reimbursement to the Contributing Syndication Parties of such
Delinquent Amount. As between the Delinquent Syndication Party and the Contributing Syndication
Parties, the Delinquent Syndication Party&#146;s interest in its Advances shall be deemed to have been
partially assigned to the Contributing Syndication Parties in the amount of the Delinquent Amount
and Delinquency Interest owing to the Contributing Syndication Parties from time to time. This
Section shall also be applicable to Advances funded by the Administrative Agent (y)&nbsp;under Section
3.8 hereof, in which case the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall be deemed to be
the Contributing Syndication Party, and (z)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;3.10 hereof, in which case the
Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall be deemed to be the Contributing Syndication
Party and the Overnight Lender shall be deemed to be the Delinquent Syndication Party. For the
purposes of calculating interest owed by a Delinquent Syndication Party, payments received on other
than a Banking Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next Banking Day, and payments
received after 2:00 P.M. (Central time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next Banking
Day.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.5 <U>Agency Appointment</U>. Each of the Syndication Parties hereby designates and appoints

any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Syndication
Parties, Voting Participants, and the Administrative Agent. In the absence of a request by the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to take or
not to take any action, unless the Loan Documents specifically require the consent of the Required

Potential Default or Event of Default as provided in the preceding sentences, the Administrative
Agent may, but is not required to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights which may be
available under the Loan Documents or at law on account of such occurrence and shall be entitled to
use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any such rights, unless
and until the Administrative Agent has received specific written instruction from the Required
Lenders to refrain from exercising such rights or to take specific designated action, in which case
it shall follow such instruction; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action which will subject it to personal liability, or which is or may be contrary to any
provision of the Loan Documents or applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be subject to
any liability by reason of its acting or refraining from acting pursuant to any such instruction.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.8.1 <U>Indemnification as Condition to Action</U>. Except for action expressly required of the

Agent shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section&nbsp;15.22 hereof with respect to
the Administrative Agent. The Bid Agent and any successor Bid Agent shall be entitled to such fee
as agreed upon between Borrower and the Bid Agent for acting as the Bid Agent. The indemnification,

Agent shall apply equally to the Bid Agent, as applicable.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.10 <U>Consent Required for Certain Actions</U>. Notwithstanding the fact that this Credit

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.11 <U>Distribution of Principal and Interest</U>. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, receive and accept all or any payments (including prepayments) of principal and
interest made by Borrower on the Loans in an account segregated from the Administrative Agent&#146;s

Distribution</B>&#148;), no later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) on the same Banking Day as such payment is
received by the Administrative Agent if received no later than 1:00 P.M. (Central time) or the next
Banking Day if received by the Administrative Agent thereafter. Any Syndication Party&#146;s rights to
its Payment Distribution shall be subject to the rights of any Contributing Syndication Parties to

property taken as security for any other loan or loans made to Borrower by any other Syndication
Party, or in any property now or hereinafter in the possession or control of any other Syndication
Party, which may be or become security for the Loans solely by reason of the provisions of a
security instrument that would cause such security instrument and the property covered thereby to
secure generally all indebtedness owing by Borrower to such other Syndication Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such other Syndication Party applies such funds or the
proceeds of such property to reduction of one or more of the Loans, such other Syndication Party
shall share such funds or proceeds with all Syndication Parties according to their respective
Individual Commitments. In the event that any Syndication Party shall obtain payment, whether
partial or full, from any source in respect of one or more of the Loans other than as provided in
this Credit Agreement, including without limitation payment by reason of the exercise of a right of
offset, banker&#146;s lien, general lien, or counterclaim, such Syndication Party shall promptly make
such adjustments (which may include payment in cash or the purchase of further Syndication
Interests or participations in the Loans) to the end that such excess payment shall be shared with
all other Syndication Parties in accordance with their respective Individual Commitments.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section or Article&nbsp;8 hereof, no Syndication
Party (other than CoBank or a Farm Credit System Institution, as applicable) shall have any right
to, or to the proceeds of, or any right to the application to any amount owing to such Syndication
Party hereunder of any the proceeds of, (a)&nbsp;any Bank Equity Interests issued to Borrower by CoBank
or on account of any statutory lien held by CoBank on such Bank Equity Interests, or (b)&nbsp;any Bank
Equity Interests issued to Borrower by any Farm Credit System Institution which is a Syndication
Party hereunder or on account of any statutory lien held by such Farm Credit System Institution on
such Bank Equity Interests.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.14 <U>Amounts Required to be Returned</U>. If the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, elects to make any payment to a Syndication Party in anticipation of the receipt of
final funds from Borrower, and such funds are not received from Borrower, or if excess funds are
paid by the Administrative Agent to any Syndication Party as the result of a miscalculation by the
Administrative Agent, then such Syndication Party shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent,
forthwith return to the Administrative Agent any such amounts, plus interest thereon (from the day
such amounts were transferred by the Administrative Agent to the Syndication Party to, but not
including, the day such amounts are returned by Syndication Party) at a rate per annum equal to the
customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three
(3)&nbsp;Banking Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If the Administrative Agent is required at any
time to return to Borrower or a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or similar official any
portion of the payments made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any
bankruptcy or insolvency law or otherwise, then each Syndication Party shall, on demand of the
Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent any such payments transferred to
such Syndication Party by the Administrative Agent but without interest or penalty (unless the
Administrative Agent is required to pay interest or penalty on such amounts to the person
recovering such payments).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.15 <U>Information to Syndication Parties; Confidentiality</U>. Except as expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, nor shall it

Syndication Parties acknowledge and agree that all information and reports received pursuant to
this Credit Agreement will be received in confidence in connection with their Syndication Interest,
and that such information and reports constitute confidential information and shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Borrower (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, provided that Borrower shall have no consent rights upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default), be (a)&nbsp;disclosed to any third party (other than the
Administrative Agent, the Bid Agent, another Syndication Party or potential Syndication Party, or a
participant or potential participant in the interest of a Syndication Party, which disclosure is
hereby approved by Borrower), except pursuant to appropriate legal or regulatory process, or (b)
used by the Syndication Party except in connection with the Loans and their respective Syndication
Interests.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.16 <U>Reliance; No Other Duties</U>. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to
Syndication Parties or any other Person for any error in judgment or for any action taken or not
taken by the Administrative Agent or its agents, directors, officers, employees or representatives
(including without limitation any duties of the Administrative Agent under Section&nbsp;15.7), except to
the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final non-appealable judgment that any
of the foregoing resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may rely on the advice of counsel,
accountants or experts and on any written document or oral statement it believes to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)&nbsp;any statement,
warranty or representation made by any other Person in or in connection with any Loan Document,
(ii)&nbsp;the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in
connection therewith, (iii)&nbsp;the performance or observance by any other Person of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv)&nbsp;the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v)&nbsp;the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article&nbsp;10 or
elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.17 <U>No Trust or Fiduciary Relationship</U>. Neither the execution of this Credit Agreement,
nor the sharing in the Loans, nor the holding of the Loan Documents in its name by the
Administrative Agent, nor the management and administration of the Loans and Loan Documents by the
Administrative Agent (holding certain payments and proceeds in the Payment Account for the benefit
of the Syndication Parties), nor any other right, duty or obligation of the Administrative Agent
under or pursuant to this Credit Agreement is intended to be or create, and none of the foregoing
shall be construed to be or create, any express, implied or constructive trust or fiduciary
relationship between the Administrative Agent or the Bid Agent and any Syndication Party. Each
Syndication Party hereby agrees and stipulates that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Bid
Agent is acting as trustee or fiduciary for such Syndication Party with respect to the Loans, this
Credit Agreement, or any aspect of either, or in any other respect.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.18 <U>Sharing of Costs and Expenses</U>. To the extent not paid by Borrower, each Syndication
Party will promptly upon demand reimburse the Administrative Agent for its proportionate share
(based on the ratio of its Individual Commitment to the Commitment), for all reasonable costs,
disbursements, and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on or after the date of this
Credit Agreement for legal, accounting, consulting, and other services rendered to the
Administrative Agent in its role as the Administrative Agent in the administration of the Loans,
interpreting the Loan Documents, and protecting, enforcing, or otherwise exercising any rights,
both before and after default by Borrower under the Loan Documents, and including, without
limitation, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceedings and the
exercise of any remedies.

of the Syndication Parties agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, including any Successor
Agent, and the Bid Agent, in each case in its capacity as such, and their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents, professional advisers and representatives (&#147;<B>Indemnified Agency
Parties</B>&#148;) (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower, and without in any way limiting the obligation
of Borrower to do so), ratably (based on the ratio of its Individual Commitment to the Commitment),
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans and/or the
expiration or termination of this Credit Agreement) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Administrative Agent or the Bid Agent (or any of the Indemnified Agency Parties while acting
for the Administrative Agent or for any Successor Agent) in any way relating to or arising out of
this Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, or the performance of the duties of the Administrative
Agent or the Bid Agent hereunder or thereunder or any action taken or omitted while acting in the
capacity of the Administrative Agent or the Bid Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided that the Syndication Parties shall not be liable for the payment of any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of an Indemnified Agency Party to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction renders a final non-appealable judgment that the foregoing are the result of the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Agency Party. The agreements and
obligations in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and the expiration or
termination of this Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.20 <U>Books and Records</U>. The Administrative Agent shall maintain such books of account and
records relating to the Loans as it reasonably deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and which
shall accurately reflect the Syndication Interest of each Syndication Party and shall be conclusive

Parties, or their agents, may inspect such books of account and records at all reasonable times
during the Administrative Agent&#146;s regular business hours.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.21 <U>Administrative Agent Fee</U>. The Administrative Agent and any Successor Agent shall be
entitled to such fees as agreed upon between Borrower and the Administrative Agent for acting as
the Administrative Agent.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.22 <U>The Administrative Agent&#146;s Resignation or Removal</U>. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a Successor Agent (as defined below), the Administrative Agent may resign at any time
by notifying each of the Syndication Parties and Borrower. After the receipt of such notice, the
Required Lenders shall appoint a successor (&#147;<B>Successor Agent</B>&#148;). If (a)&nbsp;no Successor Agent shall
have been so appointed which is either (i)&nbsp;a Syndication Party, or (ii)&nbsp;if not a Syndication Party,
which is a Person approved by Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (provided
that Borrower shall have no approval rights upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default), or (b)&nbsp;such Successor Agent has not accepted such appointment, in either case
within thirty (30)&nbsp;days after the retiring Administrative Agent&#146;s giving of such notice of
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, after consulting with, but without
obtaining the approval of, Borrower, appoint a Successor Agent which shall be a bank or a trust
company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and having a
combined capital, surplus and undivided profit of at least $250,000,000. If no Successor Agent has
been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the forty-fifth (45<sup>th</sup>)
day after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent&#146;s resignation shall
become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a Successor Agent. If, and for so long as, the Person acting as
Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Syndication Party, such Person may be removed as
Administrative Agent upon the written demand of the Required Lenders, which demand shall also
appoint a Successor Agent. Upon the appointment of a Successor Agent hereunder, (a)&nbsp;the term
&#147;Administrative Agent&#148; shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement thereafter mean such
Successor Agent, and (b)&nbsp;the Successor Agent shall notify Borrower of its identity and of the
information called for in Subsection 16.4.2 hereof. Any such resignation by the Administrative

constitute its resignation as the Overnight Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative
Agent (x)&nbsp;shall not be required to make any additional Overnight Advances hereunder and (y)&nbsp;shall
maintain all of its rights as Overnight Lender, with respect to any Overnight Advances made by it,
prior to the date of such resignation. The fees payable by the Borrower to a Successor Agent shall
be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and
such Successor Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent&#146;s resignation hereunder as the
Administrative Agent, or the removal hereunder of any Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Credit Agreement shall continue to inure to the benefit of such Administrative Agent as to any

obligations under this Credit Agreement has been approved by its board of directors or its loan
committee and such action was duly noted in the written minutes of the meeting of such board or
committee, and that it will, upon the Administrative Agent&#146;s written request following such
Syndication Party&#146;s default under any of its obligations hereunder, furnish the Administrative
Agent with a certified copy of such minutes or an excerpt therefrom reflecting such approval.

15.23 hereof, CoBank, in its role as a Syndication Party and as the Administrative Agent, makes no
express or implied representation or warranty and assumes no responsibilities with respect to the
due authorization, execution, or delivery of the Loan Documents; the accuracy of any information,
statements, or certificates provided by Borrower; the legality, validity, or enforceability of the

performance by Borrower of any of its obligations under the Loan Documents; or the financial
condition or solvency of Borrower or any other party obligated with respect to the Loans or the
Loan Documents.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.25 <U>Syndication Parties&#146; Independent Credit Analysis</U>. Each Syndication Party
acknowledges receipt of true and correct copies of all Loan Documents (other than any Note payable
to another Syndication Party) from the Administrative Agent. Each Syndication Party agrees and
represents that it has relied upon its independent review (a)&nbsp;of the Loan Documents, and (b)&nbsp;any
information independently acquired by such Syndication Party from Borrower or otherwise in making
its decision to acquire an interest in the Loans independently and without reliance on the
Administrative Agent or Bid Agent. Each Syndication Party represents and warrants that it has
obtained such information as it deems necessary (including any information such Syndication Party
independently obtained from Borrower or others) prior to making its decision to acquire an interest
in the Loans. Each Syndication Party further agrees and represents that it has made its own
independent analysis and appraisal of and investigation into each Borrower&#146;s authority, business,
operations, financial and other condition, creditworthiness, and ability to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents and has relied on such review in making its decision to acquire an
interest in the Loans. Each Syndication Party agrees that it will continue to rely solely upon its
independent review of the facts and circumstances related to Borrower, and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent, in making future decisions with respect to all matters under or in
connection with the Loan Documents and the Loans. The Administrative Agent assumes no
responsibility for the financial condition of Borrower or for the performance of Borrower&#146;s
obligations under the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the
Administrative Agent, the Bid Agent or any Syndication Party shall have any duty or responsibility
to furnish to any other Syndication Parties any credit or other information concerning Borrower
which may come into its possession.

sharing in the Loans, nor any agreement to share in payments or losses arising as a result of this
transaction is intended to be or to create, and the foregoing shall not be construed to be, any
partnership, joint venture or other joint enterprise between the Administrative Agent and any
Syndication Party, nor between or among any of the Syndication Parties.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.27 <U>Restrictions on Transfer; Participations</U>. Each Syndication Party other than CoBank
agrees that it will not sell, assign, convey or otherwise dispose of (&#147;<B>Transfer</B>&#148;) to any Person, or
create or permit to exist any lien or security interest on all or any part of its Syndication
Interest, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrower (which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Borrower shall have no approval rights upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default); provided that: (a)&nbsp;any such Transfer
of Loans or Individual Commitments (except a Transfer to another Syndication Party or a Transfer by
CoBank) must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.00, unless it Transfers its entire Syndication
Interest; (b)&nbsp;each Syndication Party must maintain an Individual Commitment of no less than
$5,000,000.00, unless it Transfers its entire Syndication Interest; (c)&nbsp;the transferee must execute

the Administrative Agent may reasonably require; and (d)&nbsp;the Syndication Party making such Transfer
must pay, or cause the transferee to pay, the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,500.00,
unless the assignment is to an affiliate of such Syndication Party or to another Syndication Party,
in which case no assignment fee will be required. Any Syndication Party may participate any part of
its interest in the Loans to any Person with prior written notice to (but without the consent of)
the Administrative Agent and Borrower, and each Syndication Party understands and agrees that in
the event of any such participation: (x)&nbsp;its obligations hereunder will not change on account of
such participation; (y)&nbsp;the participant will have no rights under this Credit Agreement, including,
without limitation, voting rights (except as provided in Section&nbsp;15.28 hereof with respect to
Voting Participants) or the right to receive payments or distributions; and (z)&nbsp;the Administrative
Agent shall continue to deal directly with the Syndication Party with respect to the Loans
(including with respect to voting rights, except as provided in Section&nbsp;15.28 hereof with respect
to Voting Participants) as though no participation had been granted and will not be obligated to
deal directly with any participant (except as provided in Section&nbsp;15.28 hereof with respect to
Voting Participants). Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, (i)&nbsp;any
Syndication Party may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest in the Loans to any
Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Syndication Party or to any Farm
Credit Bank, or Transfer its Syndication Interest to an affiliate bank if and to the extent
required under applicable law in order to pledge such interest to such central bank and (ii)&nbsp;no
Syndication Party shall be permitted to Transfer, or sell a participation in, any part of its
Syndication Interest to the Borrower or any of the Borrower&#146;s Subsidiaries. CoBank reserves the

a participation interest in the minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000.00 in a particular
Syndication Party&#146;s Individual Commitment and/or Individual Outstanding Obligations and (ii)&nbsp;has
been designated in writing by such Syndication Party to the Administrative Agent as having such
entitlement (such designation to include for such participant, its name, contact information, and
dollar participation amount) (each a &#147;<B>Voting Participant</B>&#148;), shall be entitled to vote (and such
Syndication Party&#146;s voting rights shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar basis, as if such
Voting Participant were a Syndication Party, on any matter requiring or allowing a Syndication
Party, to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. The voting
rights of any Syndication Party so designating a Voting Participant shall be reduced by an
equivalent dollar amount.

failure results from a good faith dispute based on such Syndication Party&#146;s good faith
determination that the conditions precedent to funding a 364-Day Advance under this Credit

of such; provided that a Syndication Party shall not be a Defaulting Syndication Party solely by
virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any ownership interest in such Syndication Party or a
parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority.

Syndication Party (or Voting Participant, as applicable) and (ii)&nbsp;any amendment of, or consent or

States tax with respect to any payments to such Syndication Party of interest or fees payable under
any of the Loan Documents. Further, each Non-US Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the
initial delivery by such Syndication Party of such forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or
inaccurate in any material respect, that such Syndication Party shall promptly (a)&nbsp;deliver to the
Administrative Agent and to Borrower two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or
successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Syndication Party, together with any
other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such

consent, authorization or agreement of the Required Lenders has been obtained but a Syndication
Party or Voting Participant (&#147;<B>Holdout Lender</B>&#148;) fails to give its consent, authorization, or
agreement, or if any Syndication Party shall become a Defaulting Syndication Party, then the
Administrative Agent, upon at least five (5)&nbsp;Banking Days prior notice to the Holdout Lender or
upon one (1)&nbsp;Banking Day&#146;s prior notice to the Defaulting Syndication Party, may permanently
replace the Holdout Lender or Defaulting Syndication Party with one or more substitute Syndication

shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender
or Defaulting Syndication Party shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date
shall not be later than fifteen (15)&nbsp;Banking Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to the

Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver a Syndication Acquisition Agreement, subject only to
the Holdout Lender or Defaulting Syndication Party being repaid its full share of the outstanding
Bank Debt without any premium, discount, or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender
or Defaulting Syndication Party shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Syndication
Acquisition Agreement prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender or
Defaulting Syndication Party shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Syndication
Acquisition Agreement. The replacement of any Holdout Lender or, to the extent possible, any
Defaulting Syndication Party, shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section&nbsp;15.27 hereof.
Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Syndication Interest of
the Holdout Lender or Defaulting Syndication Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the Holdout Lender or Defaulting Syndication Party shall remain obligated to provide the Holdout
Lender&#146;s or Defaulting Syndication Party&#146;s Funding Share of Advances. In the event that the Holdout
Lender or Defaulting Syndication Party is a Voting Participant, (a)&nbsp;the Syndication Party through
which such Voting Participant acquired its interest shall have the first option to repurchase such
participation interest and be the Replacement Lender; provided (b)&nbsp;if the Syndication Party through
which such Voting Participant acquired its interest does not, within five (5)&nbsp;Banking Days (or one
(1)&nbsp;Banking Day, as applicable) after the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Holdout
Lender (or Defaulting Syndication Party) as provided above, elect to become the Replacement Lender,
then such Syndication Party shall cancel or re-acquire such Voting Participant&#146;s interest and shall
sell to the Replacement Lender(s) an interest in its Individual Commitment equivalent to the Voting
Participant interest.

<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt">See signature pages hereto and to each Syndication Acquisition Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.5 <U>Liability of Administrative Agent and Bid Agent</U>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
the Bid Agent shall have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower or any Subsidiary on
account of the failure of any Syndication Party to perform its obligations hereunder or to any
Syndication Party on account of the failure of Borrower or any Subsidiary to perform their
respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.6 <U>Successors and Assigns</U>. This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Bid Agent, the Syndication Parties, and their
respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Syndication Parties and the
Voting Participants.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.7 <U>Severability</U>. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Credit
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 (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect
the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.8 <U>Entire Agreement</U>. This Credit Agreement (together with all exhibits hereto, which are
incorporated herein by this reference) and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
understanding of the Administrative Agent, the Bid Agent, each Syndication Party, and Borrower with
respect to the subject matter hereof and shall replace and supersede any previous agreements of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.9 <U>Applicable Law</U>. TO THE EXTENT NOT GOVERNED BY FEDERAL LAW, THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.10 <U>Captions</U>. The captions or headings in this Credit Agreement and any table of
contents hereof are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or
intent of any provision of this Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.11 <U>Complete Agreement; Amendments</U>. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS ARE INTENDED BY THE PARTIES HERETO TO BE A COMPLETE AND FINAL EXPRESSION OF THEIR
AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS ORAL AGREEMENT.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE BID AGENT, EACH SYNDICATION PARTY, AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE
THAT NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENT EXISTS BETWEEN THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
CREDIT AGREEMENT. This Credit Agreement may not be modified or amended unless such modification or
amendment is in writing and is signed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Bid Agent, and the
requisite Syndication Parties necessary to approve such modification or amendment pursuant to
Section&nbsp;15.10 hereof (and each such modification or amendment shall thereupon be binding on the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Bid Agent, all Syndication Parties and all other parties to
this Credit Agreement). Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all
fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in retaining outside legal counsel in
connection with any amendment or modification to this Credit Agreement requested by Borrower.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.12 <U>Additional Costs of Maintaining Loan</U>. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
from time to time such amounts as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to
compensate any Syndication Party for any increase in costs to such Syndication Party which the
Administrative Agent determines, based on information presented to it by such Syndication Party,
are attributable to such Syndication Party&#146;s making or maintaining an Advance hereunder or its
obligation to make such Advance, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Syndication
Party under this Credit Agreement in respect to such Advance or such obligation (such increases in
costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called <B>&#147;Additional Costs&#148;</B>), resulting from
any change after the date of this Credit Agreement in United States federal, state, municipal, or
foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation&nbsp;D of the Federal Reserve Board), or the adoption
or making after such date of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to a class
of banks including such Syndication Party of or under any United States federal, state, municipal,
or foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court or
governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
(including any rules, regulations, interpretations, directives or requirements issued under or
implementing any existing laws or regulations) (<B>&#147;Regulatory Change&#148;</B>), which: (a)&nbsp;changes the basis
of taxation of any amounts payable to such Syndication Party under this Credit Agreement in respect
of such Advance (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Syndication Party); or
(b)&nbsp;imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirements relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such
Syndication Party; or (c)&nbsp;imposes any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or the Notes
or amounts payable to such Syndication Party (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
The Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Credit
Agreement which will entitle such Syndication Party to compensation pursuant to this Section as
promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation. The Administrative Agent shall include with such notice, a certificate from such
Syndication Party setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such
compensation. Determinations by the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Section of the effect
of any Regulatory Change on the costs of such Syndication Party of making or maintaining an Advance
or on amounts receivable by such Syndication Party in respect of Advances, and of the additional
amounts required to compensate such Syndication Party in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.13 <U>Capital Requirements</U>. In the event that the introduction of or any change in: (a)
any law or regulation; or (b)&nbsp;the judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation of
any law or regulation; or (c)&nbsp;compliance by any Syndication Party or any corporation controlling
any such Syndication Party with any guideline or request from any governmental authority (whether
or not having the force of law) has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Syndication Party or any corporation controlling such
Syndication Party, and such Syndication Party certifies that such increase is based in any part
upon such Syndication Party&#146;s obligations hereunder with respect to the Facility, and other similar
obligations, Borrower shall pay to such Syndication Party such additional amount as shall be
certified by such Syndication Party to the Administrative Agent and to Borrower to be the net
present value (discounted at the rate described in clause (a)&nbsp;of the definition of &#147;Base Rate&#148;) of
(a)&nbsp;the amount by which such increase in capital reduces the rate of return on capital which such
Syndication Party could have achieved over the period remaining until the Maturity Date, but for
such introduction or change, (b)&nbsp;multiplied by such Syndication Party&#146;s Individual Commitment. The
Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Credit
Agreement that will entitle any such Syndication Party to compensation pursuant to this Section as
promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and of such Syndication Party&#146;s
determination to request such compensation. The Administrative Agent shall include with such
notice, a certificate from such Syndication Party setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the amount of such compensation. Determinations by any Syndication Party for
purposes of this Section of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be
maintained by any such Syndication Party and of the amount of compensation owed to any such
Syndication Party under this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such
determinations are made on a reasonable basis.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.14 <U>Replacement Notes</U>. Upon receipt by Borrower of evidence satisfactory to it of: (a)
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and (in case of loss, theft or destruction)
of the agreement of the Syndication Party to which the Note was payable to indemnify Borrower, and
upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, if mutilated; or (b)&nbsp;the assignment by any
Syndication Party of its interest hereunder and the Notes, if any, relating thereto, or any portion
thereof, pursuant to this Credit Agreement, then Borrower will pay any unpaid principal and
interest (and Funding Losses, if applicable) then or previously due and payable on such Notes and
will (upon delivery of such Notes for cancellation, unless covered by subparagraph (a)&nbsp;of this
Section), and if the Syndication Party requests a Note as provided in Section&nbsp;2.4 hereof, deliver
in lieu of each such Note a new Note or, in the case of an assignment of a portion of any such
Syndication Party&#146;s Syndication Interest, new Notes, for any remaining balance. Each new or
replacement Note shall be dated as of the Closing Date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.15 <U>Patronage Payments</U>. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)&nbsp;only that portion of
the Loans represented by CoBank&#146;s Individual Outstanding Obligations which is retained by CoBank
for its own account at any time is entitled to patronage distributions in accordance with CoBank&#146;s
bylaws and its practices and procedures related to patronage distribution; (b)&nbsp;any patronage, or
similar, payments to which Borrower is entitled on account of its ownership of Bank Equity
Interests or otherwise will not be based on any portion of CoBank&#146;s interest in the Loans in which
CoBank has at any time granted a participation interest or other assignment of rights or
obligations under the Loan Documents; and (c)&nbsp;that portion of the Loans represented by the
Individual Outstanding Obligations which is retained by any other Farm Credit System Institution
(other than CoBank) for its own account at any time is entitled to patronage distributions in
accordance with such Farm Credit System Institution&#146;s bylaws and its practices and procedures
related to patronage distribution only if Borrower has a written agreement to that effect from such
Farm Credit System Institution.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.16 <U>Direct Website Communications; Electronic Mail Communications</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.16.1 <U>Delivery</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">(a)&nbsp;Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information,
documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information
materials, but, subject to the provisions of Subsection 16.16.3 hereof, excluding any such
communication that (i)&nbsp;relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or
other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating
thereto), (ii)&nbsp;relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Credit
Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii)&nbsp;provides notice of any Potential Default or
Event of Default under this Credit Agreement, or (iv)&nbsp;is required to be delivered to satisfy any
condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Credit Agreement or any extension of credit
hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the &#147;<B>Communications</B>&#148;), by
transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium and in a format acceptable to the
Administrative Agent as follows (A)&nbsp;all financial statements to CIServices<U>@cobank.com</U> and
(B)&nbsp;all other Communications to MB&#151;CapitalMarkets<U>@cobank.com</U>. In addition, Borrower agrees
to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in
this Credit Agreement but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Receipt of the
Communications by the Administrative Agent at the appropriate e-mail address as set forth above
shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes
of this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section&nbsp;16.16 shall
prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Syndication Party to give any notice or
other communication pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other
manner specified in this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">(b)&nbsp;Each Syndication Party agrees that receipt of e-mail notification that such Communications
have been posted pursuant to Subsection 16.16.2 below at the e-mail address(es) set forth beneath
such Syndication Party&#146;s name on its signature page hereto or pursuant to the notice provisions of
any Syndication Acquisition Agreement shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to
such Syndication Party for purposes of this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document. Each
Syndication Party further agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by
electronic communication) promptly of any change in its e-mail address or any extended disruption
in its internet delivery services.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.16.2 <U>Posting</U>. Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the
Communications available to the Syndication Parties by posting the Communications on &#147;Synd-Trak&#148;
(&#147;<B>Platform</B>&#148;). The Platform is secured with a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization
System and through a single user per deal authorization method whereby each user may access the
Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis. Borrower acknowledges that the distribution of
Communications through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are
confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.16.3 <U>Additional Communications</U>. The Administrative Agent reserves the right and
Borrower and each Syndication Party consents and agrees thereto, to, upon written notice to
Borrower and all Syndication Parties, implement and require use of a secure system whereby any
notices or other communications required or permitted by this Credit Agreement, but which are not
specifically covered by Subsection 16.16.1 hereof, and including, without limitation, Borrowing
Notices, Funding Notices, Bid Requests, Bids, Bid Results Notices, Bid Selection Notices, notices
of Overnight Rates, Overnight Advance Requests, and any communication described in clauses (i)
through (iv)&nbsp;of Subsection 16.16.1(a) hereof, shall be sent and received via electronic mail to the
e-mail addresses described in Subsection 16.16.1(b) hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.16.4 <U>Disclaimer</U>. The Communications transmitted pursuant to this Section&nbsp;16.16 and the
Platform are provided &#147;as is&#148; and &#147;as available.&#148; CoBank does not warrant the accuracy, adequacy or
completeness of the Communications or the Platform and CoBank expressly disclaims liability for
errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects, is made by CoBank in connection with the Communications or the Platform.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.16.5 <U>Termination</U>. The provisions of this Section&nbsp;16.16 shall automatically terminate on
the date that CoBank ceases to be the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">16.17 <U><B>&#091;</B>Intentionally Omitted<B>&#093;</B></U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.18 <U><B>&#091;</B>Intentionally Omitted<B>&#093;</B></U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.19 <U>Mutual Release</U>. Upon full indefeasible payment and satisfaction of the Bank Debt and
the other obligations contained in this Credit Agreement, the parties, including Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Bid Agent, and each Syndication Party shall, except as provided in
Article&nbsp;13 hereof, thereupon automatically each be fully, finally, and forever released and
discharged from any further claim, liability, or obligation in connection with the Bank Debt.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.20 <U>Liberal Construction</U>. This Credit Agreement constitutes a fully negotiated agreement
between commercially sophisticated parties, each assisted by legal counsel, and shall not be
construed and interpreted for or against any party hereto.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.21 <U>Counterparts</U>. This Credit Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all
such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may
consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all of
the parties hereto. Copies of documents or signature pages bearing original signatures, and
executed documents or signature pages delivered by a party by telefax, facsimile, or electronic
mail transmission of an Adobe&#174; file format document (also known as a PDF file) shall, in each such
instance, be deemed to be, and shall constitute and be treated as, an original signed document or
counterpart, as applicable. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement
by telefax, facsimile, or electronic mail transmission of an Adobe&#174; file format document also shall
deliver an original executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement, but the failure to deliver an
original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.22 <U>Confidentiality</U>. Each Syndication Party shall maintain the confidential nature of,
and shall not use or disclose, any of Borrower&#146;s financial information, confidential information or
trade secrets without first obtaining Borrower&#146;s written consent. Nothing in this Section shall
require any Syndication Party to obtain such consent after there is an Event of Default. The
obligations of the Syndication Parties shall in no event apply to: (a)&nbsp;providing information about
Borrower to any financial institution contemplated or described in Sections&nbsp;15.7, 15.15, and 15.27
hereof or to such Syndication Party&#146;s parent holding company or any of such Syndication Party&#146;s
Affiliates, or to any actual or prospective counterparty to any securitization, swap or derivative
transaction relating to Borrower with respect to any Loan; (b)&nbsp;any situation in which any
Syndication Party is required by Law or required by any Governmental Authority to disclose
information; (c)&nbsp;providing information to counsel to any Syndication Party in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (d)&nbsp;providing information to independent auditors
retained by such Syndication Party; (e)&nbsp;any information that is in or becomes part of the public
domain otherwise than through a wrongful act of such Syndication Party or any of its employees or
agents thereof; (f)&nbsp;any information that is in the possession of any Syndication Party prior to
receipt thereof from Borrower or any other Person known to such Syndication Party to be acting on
behalf of Borrower; (g)&nbsp;any information that is independently developed by any Syndication Party;
and (h)&nbsp;any information that is disclosed to any Syndication Party by a third party that has no
obligation of confidentiality with respect to the information disclosed. A Syndication Party&#146;s
confidentiality requirements continue after it is no longer a Syndication Party under this Credit
Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Credit Agreement, the
Administrative Agent and each Syndication Party (and each employee, representative, or other agent
thereof) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitations of any kind, the tax treatment
and tax structure of the transaction described in this Credit Agreement and all materials of any
kind (including opinions or other tax analyses), if any, that are provided to the Administrative
Agent or such Syndication Party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. Nothing in the
preceding sentence shall be taken as an indication that such transaction would, but for such
sentence, be deemed to be a &#147;reportable transaction&#148; as defined in Treasury Regulation&nbsp;Section
1.6011-4.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.23 <U>USA Patriot Act Notice</U>. Each Syndication Party that is subject to the USA Patriot
Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Syndication Party) hereby
notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Syndication Party or
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.24 <U>Waiver of Borrower&#146;s Rights Under Farm Credit Act</U>. Borrower, having been represented
by legal counsel in connection with this Credit Agreement and, in particular, in connection with
the waiver contained in this Section&nbsp;16.24, does hereby voluntarily and knowingly waive,
relinquish, and agree not to assert at any time, any and all rights that Borrower may have or be
afforded under the sections of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 designated as 12 U.S.C. Sections
2199 through 2202e and the implementing Farm Credit Administration regulations as set forth in 12
C.F.R Sections&nbsp;617.7000 through 617.7630, including those provisions which afford Borrower certain
rights, and/or impose on any lender to Borrower certain duties, with respect to the collection of
any amounts owing hereunder or the foreclosure of any liens securing any such amounts, or which
require the Administrative Agent or any present or future Syndication Party to disclose to Borrower
the nature of any such rights or duties. This waiver is given by Borrower pursuant to the
provisions of 12 C.F.R. Section&nbsp;617.7010(c) to induce the Syndication Parties to fund and extend to
Borrower the credit facilities described herein and to induce those Syndication Parties which are
Farm Credit System Institutions to agree to provide such credit facilities commensurate with their
Individual Commitments as they may exist from time to time.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.25 <U>Terms Generally</U>. Defined terms 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. The words &#147;include&#148;, &#147;includes&#148; and
&#147;including&#148; shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase &#147;without limitation&#148;. The word &#147;will&#148;
shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word &#147;shall&#148;; and the words &#147;asset&#148;
and &#147;property&#148; shall be construed as having the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all
tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract
rights. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed
references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Credit Agreement unless
the context shall otherwise require. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a)&nbsp;any
reference in this Credit Agreement to any Loan Document shall mean such document as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, in each case, in accordance with
the express terms of this Credit Agreement, and (b)&nbsp;all terms of an accounting or financial nature
shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time.

SYNDICATION ADOPTION AGREEMENT



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">This Syndication Adoption Agreement entered into this <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U> day of <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, 201<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U> (&#147;<B>Effective Date</B>&#148;)

(as defined below) (in such role, &#147;<B>Administrative Agent</B>&#148;), and each of the other parties signatory
hereto (&#147;<B>Adopting Parties</B>&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Recitals</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">A.&nbsp;Pursuant to the 2010 364-Day Credit Agreement (Revolving Loan) by and between
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Parties named therein, and CHS, Inc. (&#147;<B>Borrower</B>&#148;), dated
November&nbsp;24, 2010 (as it may be amended from time to time &#147;<B>Credit Agreement</B>&#148;), the Syndication
Parties thereto have agreed to provide, limited to their respective Individual Commitments and
Individual Pro Rata Shares, financing to Borrower in the maximum aggregate amount of
$1,200,000,000.00 through the Facility, to be used for the purposes set forth in the Credit
Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">B.&nbsp;The Credit Agreement provided Borrower with the option to increase the Commitment by as
much as an aggregate amount not to exceed the Maximum Commitment Increase Amount pursuant to the
provisions of Section&nbsp;2.10 thereof which, among other things, required that each Person agreeing to
fund a portion of the Commitment Increase (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and who was not then
a Syndication Party, execute an Adoption Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">B.&nbsp;Each Adopting Party wishes to be a Funding Source (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and
to become a Syndication Party under the Credit Agreement with respect to the Individual Commitment
amounts set forth beneath its signature on this Syndication Adoption Agreement (&#147;<B>Syndication
Interest</B>&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Agreement</B>

hereby acknowledge, and each to induce the others to enter into this Syndication Adoption Agreement
(&#147;Agreement&#148;), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt"><B>DEFINITIONS</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given them in the
Credit Agreement, if defined therein.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>1.&nbsp;Acquisition of Syndication Interest.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">1.1. The Adopting Party agrees to, as of the Effective Date, and at all times thereafter,
comply with all of the obligations of a Syndication Party holding an Individual Commitment in the
amount shown beneath its signature below, as such obligations are set forth in the Credit
Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>2.&nbsp;Representations, Warranties, and Agreements.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.1. The Adopting Party represents and warrants that: (a)&nbsp;the making and performance of this
Agreement including its agreement to be bound by the Credit Agreement is within its power and has
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action by it; (b)&nbsp;entering into this
Agreement and performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement will not
conflict with nor constitute a breach of its charter or by-laws nor any agreements by which it is
bound, and will not violate any judgment, decree or governmental or administrative order, rule,
law, or regulation applicable to it; (c)&nbsp;no approval, authorization or other action by, or
declaration to or filing with, any governmental or administrative authority or any other Person is
required to be obtained or made by it in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of
its duties under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; (d)&nbsp;this Agreement has been duly executed
by it, and, this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, constitute its legal, valid, and binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and general equitable principles (regardless of whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity); and (e)&nbsp;the act of entering
into and performing its obligations under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement have been
approved by its board of directors at an authorized meeting thereof (or by written consent in lieu
of a meeting) and such action was duly noted in the written minutes of such meeting, and it will,
upon request, furnish Administrative Agent with a certified copy of such minutes or an excerpt
therefrom reflecting such approval.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.2. The Adopting Party further represents that it is entitled to receive any payments to be
made to it under the Credit Agreement without the withholding of any tax and will furnish to
Administrative Agent and to Borrower such forms, certifications, statements and other documents as
Administrative Agent or Borrower may request from time to time to evidence such Adopting Party&#146;s
exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or to enable Administrative
Agent or Borrower, as the case may be, to comply with any applicable laws or regulations relating
thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, if such Adopting Party is not created or
organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, such Adopting Party
will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, 4224, or Form&nbsp;1001, as
appropriate, or such other forms, certifications, statements or documents, duly executed and
completed by Adopting Party, as evidence of such Adopting Party&#146;s exemption from the withholding of
United States tax with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower
shall not be obligated to make any payments to or for the benefit of Adopting Party until Adopting
Party shall have furnished to Administrative Agent and Borrower the requested form, certification,
statement or document.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.3. Adopting Party acknowledges receipt of true and correct copies of all Loan Documents and
agrees and represents that: (a)&nbsp;it has relied upon its independent review of (i)&nbsp;the Loan
Documents, and (ii)&nbsp;any information independently acquired by it from Borrower or otherwise in
making its decision to acquire an interest in the Loan independently and without reliance on any
Syndication Party or Administrative Agent; (b)&nbsp;it has obtained such information as it deems
necessary (including any information it independently obtained from Borrower or others) prior to
making its decision to acquire the Syndication Interest; (c)&nbsp;it has made its own independent
analysis and appraisal of and investigation into Borrower&#146;s authority, business, operations,
financial and other condition, creditworthiness, and ability to perform its obligations under the
Loan Documents and has relied on such review in making its decision to acquire the Syndication
Interest, and will continue to rely solely upon its independent review of the facts and
circumstances related to Borrower, and without reliance upon any Syndication Party or
Administrative Agent, in making future decisions with respect to all matters under or in connection
with the Loan Documents and its participation in the Loan as a Syndication Party.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.4. Adopting Party acknowledges and agrees that: (a)&nbsp;neither Administrative Agent nor any
Syndication Party has made any representation or warranty, except as expressly stated in this
Agreement, nor do they assume any responsibility with respect to the due execution, validity,
sufficiency, enforceability or collectibility of the Loan, the Loan Documents or the Notes or with
respect to the accuracy and completeness of matters disclosed, represented or warranted in the Loan
Documents by Borrower (including financial matters); (b)&nbsp;neither Administrative Agent nor any
Syndication Party assumes any responsibility for the financial condition of Borrower or for the
performance of Borrower&#146;s obligations under the Loan Documents; (c)&nbsp;except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, neither any Syndication Party nor
Administrative Agent nor any other Syndication Party shall have any duty or responsibility to
furnish to any other Syndication Parties any credit or other information concerning Borrower which
may come into its or their possession.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.5. Adopting Party: (a)&nbsp;represents that it has acquired and is retaining the Syndication
Interest it is acquiring in the Loan for its own account in the ordinary course of its banking or
financing business; (b)&nbsp;agrees that it will not sell, assign, convey or otherwise dispose of
(&#147;<B>Transfer</B>&#148;), or create or permit to exist any lien or security interest on, all or any part of its
Syndication Interest in the Loan without compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement, including Section&nbsp;15.27 thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.6. Adopting Party:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt">2.6.1 Irrevocably consents and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York
State court or (if applicable subject matter jurisdictional requirements are present)
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, and waives any objection based on venue or <U>forum non
conveniens</U> with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or
the Credit Agreement or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings
of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement or the
transactions related hereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and
whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agrees that any dispute with respect to
any such matters may be heard in the courts described above, as the Administrative Agent may
elect.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt">2.6.2 Hereby agrees that any litigation with respect to the Credit Agreement or to enforce
any judgment obtained against such Person for breach of the Credit Agreement or under the
Notes or other Loan Documents may be brought in any New York State court or (if applicable
subject matter jurisdictional requirements are present) Federal court of the United States
of America sitting in New York County, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
as the Administrative Agent may elect; and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Adopting Party irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction. With respect to litigation
concerning the Credit Agreement or under the Notes or other Loan Documents, Adopting Party
hereby irrevocably appoints, until six (6)&nbsp;months after the expiration of the Maturity Date
(as it may be extended at anytime), <B>&#091;</B><U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U><B>&#093;</B>, or such other Person as it may designate to the
Administrative Agent, in each case with offices in New York, New York and otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to serve as the agent of Adopting Party to
receive for and on its behalf at such agent&#146;s New York, New York office, service of process,
which service may be made by mailing a copy of any summons or other legal process to such
Person in care of such agent. Adopting Party agrees that it shall maintain a duly appointed
agent in New York for service of summons and other legal process as long as it remains
obligated under the Credit Agreement and shall keep the Administrative Agent advised in
writing of the identity and location of such agent. The receipt by such agent and/or by
Adopting Party of such summons or other legal process in any such litigation shall be deemed
personal service and acceptance by Adopting Party for all purposes of such litigation. The
Borrower and each Syndication Party 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 Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or
Federal court. 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.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt">2.6.3 HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION (a)&nbsp;ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR (b)&nbsp;IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER
NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
ADOPTING PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY
SYNDICATION PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF ADOPTING PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">B.&nbsp;Transferor wishes to sell and assign a portion of its Individual Pro Rata Share of the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Agreement</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereto
hereby acknowledge, and each to induce the others to enter into this Syndication Acquisition

Credit Agreement, if defined therein.

which Purchaser has acquired its Loan Interest hereunder.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>1.&nbsp;Purchase and Sale of Syndication Interest.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">1.1. Purchaser hereby purchases from Transferor and Transferor hereby sells to Purchaser,
pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein and in Article&nbsp;15 of the Credit Agreement, a
Syndication Interest equal to the Individual Commitment as set forth in <U>Exhibit&nbsp;A</U> hereto
(&#147;<B>Purchaser&#146;s Loan Commitment Amount</B>&#148;) and a portion of the amount outstanding under the Facility
as of the Effective Date determined by application of the Loan Percentage as set forth in
<U>Exhibit&nbsp;A</U> hereto (&#147;<B>Purchaser&#146;s Outstanding Loan Obligations Amount</B>&#148;), and a proportionate

Parties), and all applicable amounts owing and all applicable payments made by Borrower thereunder
(excluding Borrower&#146;s obligation to purchase Bank Equity Interests, and patronage dividends and

Loan Obligations Amount shall be allocated (a)&nbsp;to Bid Loans only if, and to the extent, expressly
provided in <U>Exhibit&nbsp;A</U> hereto; and (b)&nbsp;except as provided pursuant to clause (a),
proportionately in all of the 364-Day Advances, as applicable, outstanding on the Effective Date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">1.2. Purchaser&#146;s obligation as set forth in Section&nbsp;1.1 above to purchase the Purchaser&#146;s Loan
Commitment Amount (individually or collectively &#147;<B>Purchaser&#146;s Commitment Amount</B>&#148;) shall, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof and of Article&nbsp;15 of the Credit Agreement, be continuing,
unconditional, and irrevocable. Purchaser&#146;s acquisition of Purchaser&#146;s Commitment Amount shall be
without recourse to Transferor and shall not be construed as a loan from Purchaser to Transferor.
The term Purchaser&#146;s Outstanding Loan Obligations Amount may be hereinafter referred to as the
&#147;<B>Purchaser&#146;s Outstanding Obligations Amount</B>&#148; and, collectively with Purchaser&#146;s Commitment Amount

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">1.3. Purchaser agrees to remit to Transferor on the Effective Date, the Purchaser&#146;s

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">1.4. Purchaser agrees to, as of the Effective Date, and at all times thereafter, comply with
all of the obligations of a Syndication Party holding an Individual Commitment as such obligations
are set forth in the Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">1.5. Transferor agrees to pay, or cause Purchaser to pay, to Administrative Agent on the
Effective Date: (a)&nbsp;if applicable, a fee in the amount of $3,500.00 for processing Purchaser&#146;s

and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction described herein, including its attorney&#146;s
fees.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>2.&nbsp;Purchaser&#146;s Representations, Warranties, and Agreements.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.1. Purchaser represents and warrants that: (a)&nbsp;the making and performance of this Agreement
including its agreement to be bound by the Credit Agreement is within its power and has been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and other action by it; (b)&nbsp;this Agreement is in compliance
with all applicable laws and regulations promulgated thereunder and entering into this Agreement
and performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement will not conflict with
nor constitute a breach of its charter or by-laws nor any agreements by which it is bound, and will
not violate any judgment, decree or governmental or administrative order, rule or regulation
applicable to it; (c)&nbsp;no approval, authorization or other action by, or declaration to or filing
with, any governmental or administrative authority or any other Person is required to be obtained
or made by it in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of its duties under this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement; (d)&nbsp;this Agreement has been duly executed by it, and, this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement, constitute its legal, valid, and binding obligation,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally and general equitable principles (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity); and (e)&nbsp;the act of entering into
and performing its obligations under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement have been approved by
its board of directors at an authorized meeting thereof (or by written consent in lieu of a
meeting) and such action was duly noted in the written minutes of such meeting, and that it will,
if requested by the Administrative Agent, furnish Administrative Agent with a certified copy of
such minutes or an excerpt therefrom reflecting such approval.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.2. Purchaser further represents that it is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it
under the Credit Agreement without the withholding of any tax and will furnish to Administrative
Agent and to Borrower such forms, certifications, statements and other documents as Administrative
Agent or Borrower may request from time to time to evidence Purchaser&#146;s exemption from the
withholding of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or to enable Administrative Agent or Borrower,
as the case may be, to comply with any applicable laws or regulations relating thereto. Without
limiting the effect of the foregoing, if Purchaser is not created or organized under the laws of
the United States of America or any state thereof, Purchaser will furnish to Administrative Agent
and Borrower the IRS Forms described in Section&nbsp;15.31 of the Credit Agreement, or such other forms,
certifications, statements or documents, duly executed and completed by Purchaser, as evidence of
Purchaser&#146;s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not be obligated to make any
payments to Purchaser until Purchaser shall have furnished to Administrative Agent and Borrower the
requested form, certification, statement or document.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.3. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of true and correct copies of all Loan Documents from
Transferor and agrees and represents that: (a)&nbsp;it has relied upon its independent review of (i)&nbsp;the
Loan Documents, and (ii)&nbsp;any information independently acquired by it from Borrower or otherwise in
making its decision to acquire an interest in the Loan independently and without reliance on
Transferor or Administrative Agent; (b)&nbsp;it has obtained such information as it deems necessary
(including any information it independently obtained from Borrower or others) prior to making its
decision to acquire the Purchaser&#146;s Syndication Interest; (c)&nbsp;it has made its own independent
analysis and appraisal of and investigation into Borrower&#146;s authority, business, operations,
financial and other condition, creditworthiness, and ability to perform its obligations under the
Loan Documents and has relied on such review in making its decision to acquire the Purchaser&#146;s
Syndication Interest, and will continue to rely solely upon its independent review of the facts and
circumstances related to Borrower, and without reliance upon Transferor or Administrative Agent, in
making future decisions with respect to all matters under or in connection with the Loan Documents
and its participation in the Loan as a Syndication Party.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.4. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that: (a)&nbsp;neither Administrative Agent nor Transferor
has made any representation or warranty, except as expressly stated in the Credit Agreement and
this Agreement, nor do they assume any responsibility with respect to the due execution, validity,
sufficiency, enforceability or collectibility of the Loan, the Loan Documents or the Notes or with
respect to the accuracy and completeness of matters disclosed, represented or warranted in the Loan
Documents by Borrower (including financial matters); (b)&nbsp;neither Administrative Agent nor
Transferor assumes any responsibility for the financial condition of Borrower or for the
performance of Borrower&#146;s obligations under the Loan Documents; (c)&nbsp;except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, neither Transferor nor Administrative Agent nor
any other Syndication Party shall have any duty or responsibility to furnish to any other
Syndication Parties any credit or other information concerning Borrower which may come into its or
their possession.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">2.5. Purchaser: (a)&nbsp;agrees that it will not sell, assign, convey or otherwise dispose of
(&#147;<B>Transfer</B>&#148;), or create or permit to exist any lien or security interest on, all or any part of its
Syndication Interest in the Loan to any Person (&#147;<B>Transferee</B>&#148;) without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent and Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that
Borrower shall have no approval rights upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
