account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note or any
other documents to be delivered hereunder to or for the account of the Lender,

shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine
whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15(h) and

documents to be delivered hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding
tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable
reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver

may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA
and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(i)    The Lender shall deliver at the time(s) and in the manner(s) prescribed
by applicable law, to the Borrower two original properly completed and duly
executed United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 or any successor form,
certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding tax
on payments made hereunder.
(j)    The Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(f), (h) or (i) expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in
writing of its legal inability to do so.
(k)    For the avoidance of doubt, for any period with respect to which the
Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate
or other document described in Section 2.15(i) (other than if such failure is
due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form,
certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such
form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under Section
2.15(i)), such Lender shall not be entitled to increased payments or
indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to taxes or Other
Taxes imposed by reason of such failure; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request (at the sole
expense of such Lender) to assist the Lender to recover such taxes or Other
Taxes (it being understood, however, that the Borrower shall have no liability
to such Lender in respect of such taxes or Other Taxes).
(l)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made by such indemnifying party under this Section with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority
with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such
indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over
pursuant to this paragraph (l) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such
indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental
authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (l), in no
event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (l) the payment of which would
place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax or Other Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with
respect to such Tax or Other Tax had never been paid.
(m)    [reserved].
(n) For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, the
Borrower shall treat (and the Lender hereby authorize the Borrower to treat)
this Agreement and any Advance as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall require the Lender to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which
it deems to be confidential).
SECTION 2.16.    [reserved].

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 2.17.    Notes.The Borrower agrees that upon notice by the Lender to the
Borrower to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness
is required or appropriate in order for the Lender to evidence (whether for
purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be
made by, the Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the
Lender a Note payable to the Lender.

results), Consolidated EBITDA shall be deemed to be the amount approved by the
Lender as the projected Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
attributable to such Permitted Acquisition for the first twelve-month period
following such Permitted Acquisition (such amount to be determined based on
customer contracts relating to such Permitted Acquisition, the creditworthiness

estimates, commodity price assumptions and other reasonable factors deemed
appropriate by the Lender); and
(ii)    Consolidated EBITDA may include, at the Borrower’s option, any Qualified
Project EBITDA Adjustments as provided in the definition thereof.
SECTION 5.12.    Designation of Subsidiaries.
The Board of Directors or similar governing body of the Ultimate General Partner
(in its capacity as general partner of the General Partner, in its capacity as
general partner of the Borrower) may at any time designate any Restricted
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such
designation, no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in compliance, on a pro forma
basis, with Section 5.11(a) (as though the effective date of such designation
were the last day of a fiscal quarter of the Borrower) and, as a condition
precedent to the effectiveness of such designation, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Agent a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or
Controller of the Ultimate General Partner (in its capacity as general partner
of the General Partner, in its capacity as general partner of the Borrower)
setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such
compliance), (iii) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary if it was previously designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iv) no
Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted
Subsidiary, (v) no Subsidiary that owns any Equity Securities or Indebtedness
of, or owns or holds any Lien on, any property of the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated),
may be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (vi) each Subsidiary to be so
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and its Subsidiaries, has not at the
time of designation, and does not thereafter, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to any
Indebtedness pursuant to which the lender or other creditor has recourse to any
assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the Equity
Securities in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, and (vii) no
primary operating Subsidiary of the Borrower may be designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation
of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. If, at
any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter automatically cease to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary and shall constitute a Restricted Subsidiary for all
purposes of this Agreement, and (among other things)

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any Indebtedness and Liens of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as of such date.

No failure on the part of the Lender or to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor

provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04.    Costs and Expenses.

single local counsel to the Lender in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may
include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and of such
other counsel retained by the Lender with the Borrower’s prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and of such other
counsel retained by the Lender in connection with enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and
the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, in
connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).

their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with
or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in
connection therewith) the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions
contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the
Advances, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN
PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED
PARTY, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and to
reimburse each Indemnified Party upon demand for any reasonable and documented
legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as
a whole and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate
jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple
jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (and, in the
case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party
affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter
retains its own counsel,

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Party) and other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the
foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified
Party, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related legal or other
expenses to the extent (i) they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Indemnified Party, (ii) they arise out of or in connection
with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an
act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by
an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party or (iii) they consist
of any taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.15. The parties hereto agree

holders of their Equity Securities and their respective officers, directors,

Borrower or the Lender), any of their respective Affiliates or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory
of liability arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement,
any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the
proceeds of the Advances; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall
limit the Borrower’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
(c)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower

authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any
time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after
any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the
Lender under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Lender may
have.

of jurisdiction on account of the place of residence or domicile of either
Party. A final judgment on any such dispute, as to which all appeals, if any,
have been exhausted, shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions in any manner provided by law.

all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof.

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 8.10.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR
THE ACTIONS OF THE LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR
ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
SECTION 8.11.    Patriot Act.
The Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the

SECTION 8.12.    Headings.
Article, Section and other headings and the Table of Contents used herein are
for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not
affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.
SECTION 8.13.    Confidentiality.
(a)    The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and informed on
a need-to-know basis), (ii) to the extent requested by any governmental
authority or self-regulatory body, (iii) to the extent required by applicable
laws or regulations, (iv) to the extent required by any subpoena or similar
legal process provided that, in such case and in the case of each of clauses
(ii) and (iii) above, the Lender shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with
its normal practices, to notify the Borrower promptly thereof prior to
disclosure of such Information, to the extent it is not prohibited from doing so
by any law or regulation or by such subpoena or legal process, (v) to any other
party to this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
enforcement of rights hereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.13, to (A) any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that
such actual or prospective assignee or Participant will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential and informed on a need-to-know basis) or (B) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the Borrower and its obligations (it being understood that such
actual or prospective counterparty will

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to
keep such Information confidential and informed on a need-to-know basis), (viii)
with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information (A)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section
8.13 or (B) becomes available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Borrower unless the Lender shall have actual knowledge
that such source was required to keep such Information confidential. For the
purposes of this Section 8.13, “Information” means all information received from
the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received
from the Borrower after the Effective Date, such information is either clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential or should, because of its
nature, reasonably be understood to be confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 8.13
shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person
has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
(b)    The Lender acknowledges that Information furnished to it pursuant to this
Agreement may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower
and its Affiliates or their respective securities, and confirms that it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and that it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state
securities laws.
(c)    [reserved].
SECTION 8.14.    Conversion of Currencies.
(a)    If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary
to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each
party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that
the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be
purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the
day on which final judgment is given.
(b)    The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party
hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable
Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due
hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on
the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained
in this Section 8.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
