Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns,
“Trinity”), as lender, and CITIBANK, N.A., AGENCY & TRUST, as collateral agent
for Trinity (the “WGRAH Collateral Agent”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I

Section 1.01 Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, words and
expressions used herein shall have the meanings provided in Exhibit A to the

reference to this WGRAH Term Loan Agreement, as amended, modified, supplemented
or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 1.02 Use of Defined Terms. Any defined term used in the plural preceded
by the definite article shall be taken to encompass all members of the relevant
class. Any defined term used in the singular preceded by “any” shall be taken to
indicate any number of the members of the relevant class.

Section 1.03 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined
herein or in Exhibit A to the Trinity Company Agreement shall be construed in
each case in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time.

Section 1.04 Interpretation. The word “including” (and with correlative meaning
“include”) means “including, without limitation”.

Article II

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOAN

Section 2.01 Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the
Effective Date, Trinity agrees to make the WGRAH Loan to WGRAH in an amount not
to exceed the WGRAH Commitment. The WGRAH Commitment is not revolving; and
amounts repaid may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02 Repayment of WGRAH Loan; Extension of WGRAH Maturity Date; Evidence
of Debt.

(a) WGRAH hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Trinity the then unpaid
principal of and accrued interest on the WGRAH Loan on the WGRAH Maturity Date,
or such earlier date upon which the maturity of the WGRAH Loan shall have been
accelerated pursuant to Article VII.

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

(b) WGRAH may, by written notice to Trinity no later than 180 days prior to the
then effective WGRAH Maturity Date, request an extension of the WGRAH Maturity
Date to a date that is five years after the then effective WGRAH Maturity Date,
and the WGRAH Maturity Date shall be so extended; provided that (i) prior to the
then effective WGRAH Maturity Date, Trinity and WGRAH shall have agreed upon a
revised Interest Rate to be effective on the first day of such new five-year
period, (ii) each of Trinity and each Trinity Member has approved such extension
and such revised Interest Rate in writing, (iii) each Pecos Lender shall have
agreed to such extension, and (iv) WGRAH shall have delivered a certificate in
the form required by Section 6.01(c), making such certifications as of the first
day of such new five-year period.

(c) Trinity shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of
the WGRAH Loan made hereunder and the relevant Interest Period, (ii) the amount
of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from
WGRAH to Trinity hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any payment received by
Trinity hereunder.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section 2.02 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the obligations and payments recorded therein; provided that the failure of
Trinity to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of WGRAH to repay the WGRAH Loan in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

(e) Trinity may request that the WGRAH Loan be evidenced by a promissory note.
In such event, WGRAH shall prepare, execute and deliver to Trinity a WGRAH Note.
Thereafter, the unpaid principal amount of the WGRAH Loan and interest thereon
shall, at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04), be
represented by one or more WGRAH Notes in such form payable to the order of
Trinity.

(f) Trinity is authorized to and shall endorse the date and amount of the WGRAH
Loan and the date and amount of each payment of principal with respect thereto
on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of its WGRAH Note. No failure
to make or error in making any such endorsement as authorized hereby shall
affect the validity of the obligations of WGRAH to repay the unpaid principal
amount of the WGRAH Loan with interest thereon as provided in Section 2.06 or
the validity of any payment thereof made by WGRAH. Trinity shall, at the request
of WGRAH, deliver to WGRAH copies of the WGRAH Note and the schedules annexed
thereto.

Section 2.03 Procedure for Borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time on the Business Day prior to the Effective Date, WGRAH shall deliver to
Trinity a borrowing request (the “Borrowing Request”), signed by WGRAH. The
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

(a) the amount of the requested WGRAH Loan (which shall not exceed the WGRAH
Commitment);

(b) the effective date for the WGRAH Loan, which shall be a Business Day;

(c) the location and number of WGRAH’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed.

 

2

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

Provided that all conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied,
Trinity will make the amount of the WGRAH Loan available to the account of WGRAH
in accordance with Section 2.08.

Section 2.04 Termination of Commitments. The WGRAH Commitment shall terminate at
4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Effective Date.

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) WGRAH may, at its option, as provided in this Section 2.05, at any time and
from time to time prepay the WGRAH Loan, in whole or in part, upon at least two
(2) Business Days’ prior notice to Trinity, specifying the date and amount of
prepayment. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified.

(b) At any time when WGRAH’s Consolidated EBITDA is less than $100,000,000 for
the most recently ended Measurement Period, WGRAH shall prepay the WGRAH Loan in
a principal amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received from any Disposition
of assets as soon as reasonably practicable but not more than three Business
Days after the receipt of such amounts; provided that such amounts required for
a prepayment pursuant to this sentence may not be used as an Investment or
Restricted Payment or otherwise permitted to leave the possession of the WGRAH
Loan Parties after the WGRAH Loan Parties’ receipt thereof.

(c) Upon any Disposition of any assets by WGRAH or any of its Subsidiaries,
WGRAH shall prepay the WGRAH Loan in a principal amount equal to the amount
necessary for WGRAH to comply with the requirements of Sections 5.05(b) as soon
as reasonably practicable but not more than three Business Days after such
Disposition occurs; provided that such amounts required for a prepayment
pursuant to this sentence may not be used as an Investment or Restricted Payment
or otherwise permitted to leave the possession of the WGRAH Loan Parties after
the WGRAH Loan Parties’ receipt thereof.

(d) All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall include accrued interest
on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment, expenses, Trinity Expenses,
indemnities, and other WGRAH Obligations (and as to which, in the case of
Trinity Expenses, demand for payment with respect to which has been received by
WGRAH on or before 12:30 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date
on which any such payment or prepayment of principal is to be made).

(e) Partial optional prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in
excess thereof. All prepayments of the WGRAH Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05
shall be without the payment of any premium or penalty except for amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.09 and shall be payable at the time specified in
Section 2.09(a).

Section 2.06 Interest.

(a) WGRAH shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the WGRAH Loan
outstanding from time to time from the Effective Date until the principal amount
shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum at all times during each Interest
Period equal to the Interest Rate for such

 

3

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

Interest Period, payable in arrears on each Payment Date; provided that, in the
event of any repayment or prepayment of the WGRAH Loan, accrued interest on the
principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment.

(b) Trinity shall determine the Interest Rate for each Interest Period (or
portion thereof) and shall notify WGRAH of such Interest Rate three Business
Days prior to the Payment Date for such Interest Period. A notice by Trinity to
WGRAH of the Interest Rate shall be binding on WGRAH. A notice to WGRAH pursuant
to Section 5.6 of the Trinity Company Agreement shall be deemed to satisfy the
foregoing notification requirement.

Section 2.07 Computation of Interest.

(a) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days, for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) elapsed. Each determination by Trinity of an interest
rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

(b) Trinity shall, at the request of WGRAH, deliver to WGRAH a statement showing
the computations used by Trinity in determining any interest rate or fee
pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.07(a).

Section 2.08 Funding of Loan. Trinity shall make the WGRAH Loan to be made by it
hereunder by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
WGRAH before 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date.

Section 2.09 Payments; Trinity Expenses.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by WGRAH whether on account
of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made in Dollars and in
immediately available funds without setoff or counterclaim at or before 12:00
noon, New York City time on the day when due and shall be made to the Trinity
Operating Account.

(b) (i) WGRAH shall from time to time, upon demand or deemed demand by Trinity
to WGRAH as set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, pay to Trinity additional amounts
sufficient to reimburse Trinity for all Trinity Expenses in accordance with
clause (ii).

(ii) Trinity may deliver to WGRAH written notice with supporting documents
therefor certifying in reasonable detail the nature of, and if applicable, the
method of computation of, Trinity Expenses. Trinity shall specify whether such
Trinity Expenses will be recurring, and, if known, the duration of such
recurrence. Recurring amounts claimed shall be paid on each specified recurrence
without further notice by Trinity. Subject to the next sentence, such notice
shall specify whether Trinity requests the amount claimed to be paid on the
immediately following Payment Date (for which no less than two Business Days
prior notice shall be required) after the initial occurrence or after each
specified recurrence or, with respect to claims for amounts other than recurring
amounts, on a day other than a Payment Date (for which no less than six Business
Days prior notice shall be required). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Trinity
Expenses (A) arising by reason of the late receipt of principal of or interest
on the WGRAH Loan shall

 

4

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

in all cases be payable upon demand and (B) payable in connection with a
prepayment of principal under Section 2.05 shall be payable at the time
specified in Section 2.09(a). Trinity shall notify WGRAH if any such recurring
cost ceases to be recurring (or if the amount thereof decreases) promptly after
becoming aware thereof and agrees to refund any excess payment received in
respect of such ceased or reduced recurring costs.

Section 2.10 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of WGRAH under each
WGRAH Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if WGRAH
shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased
as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding
(including deductions or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 2.10), Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholding been made, (ii) WGRAH shall make such deductions or
withholding, and (iii) WGRAH shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition, WGRAH shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) WGRAH shall indemnify Trinity and the WGRAH Collateral Agent, within ten
(10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as
applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation
of WGRAH under each WGRAH Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section 2.10) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to WGRAH by Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as
applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
by WGRAH to a Governmental Authority, WGRAH shall deliver to Trinity or the
WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which WGRAH is located, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to WGRAH at the time or times prescribed by
Applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
Applicable Law or reasonably requested by WGRAH (including, without limitation,
Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as applicable) as will permit

 

5

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

such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Lenders that
are not Foreign Lenders shall provide a duly completed Form W-9 or other
reasonable evidence of exemption from U.S. back-up withholding.

(f) If Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (or any
other taxes owed by Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable, under
or in connection with this Agreement and indemnified by WGRAH or paid by WGRAH
on behalf of Trinity) as to which it has been indemnified by WGRAH or with
respect to which WGRAH has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.10, it shall pay over such refund to WGRAH (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by WGRAH under this
Section 2.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (or any other
taxes owed by Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this
Agreement and indemnified by WGRAH or paid by WGRAH on behalf of Trinity or the
WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable) giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable,
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that WGRAH, upon the
request of Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable, agrees to
forthwith repay the amount paid over to WGRAH (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Trinity or the
WGRAH Collateral Agent, as applicable, if Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent,
as applicable, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Nothing contained in this Section 2.10 shall require Trinity or the WGRAH
Collateral Agent, as applicable, to make available its Tax Returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to WGRAH or any
other Person.

Article III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.01 Representations of WGRAH. WGRAH represents and warrants to Trinity
that:

(a) WGRAH and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has been duly formed and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization,
and (ii) is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, partnership, or
limited liability company, as applicable, and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction of the United States in which the ownership of its properties or
the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the failure to
so qualify could reasonably be expected to constitute a WGRAH Material Adverse
Change.

(b) This Agreement and all other WGRAH Loan Documents to which WGRAH or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
WGRAH or such Subsidiary, and each of this Agreement, the WGRAH Notes and the
other WGRAH Loan Documents to which it is a party constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of WGRAH, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms,
subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general
applicability. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of WGRAH, threatened against WGRAH or any of its Subsidiaries which
purport to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
any other WGRAH Loan Document.

 

6

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

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of the WGRAH Loan Documents by WGRAH
and its Subsidiaries and the execution, issuance, delivery and performance by
WGRAH of the WGRAH Notes will not (i) violate or conflict with (A) the WGRAH
Company Agreement or the Organizational Documents of any Subsidiary, (B) any
indenture, loan agreement or other similar agreement or instrument binding on
WGRAH or any Subsidiary, or (C) any provision of applicable law, or (ii) result
in the creation or imposition of a Lien on any of its assets, except for
Permitted Liens.

(d) There are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of
WGRAH, threatened against or involving WGRAH or any of its Subsidiaries or their
respective Property, before any Governmental Authority as to which, in the
opinion of WGRAH, there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination
and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or
in the aggregate, to constitute a WGRAH Material Adverse Change.

(e) Neither WGRAH nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” as defined in,
or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

(f) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when
taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is
reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Change. The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date
of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair
market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that could
reasonably be expected to be a Material Adverse Change.

(g) With respect to the date hereof or the later date of delivery of any
information hereunder (each, a “Relevant Date”), as the case may be:

(i) subject to Section 3.01(g)(iii) below, all written information that has been
made available to Trinity by or on behalf of WGRAH or any of its Affiliates, or
any of their respective Representatives, prior to such Relevant Date in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in each
case taken as a whole and as modified or supplemented from time to time prior to
such Relevant Date, was complete and correct in all material respects on such
Relevant Date and did not on such Relevant Date contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein not misleading in any material respect in light of
the circumstances under which such statements were made;

(ii) any historical financial data provided by or on behalf of WGRAH or any of
its Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives, to Trinity prior to
such Relevant Date in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement was prepared in accordance with GAAP then in effect (or with
appropriate reconciliation to

 

7

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

such GAAP if required by applicable Law or requested by Trinity) and fairly
presents the financial condition and results of operations of WGRAH and its
Subsidiaries (subject to year end audit adjustments) as of the date thereof,
except as otherwise disclosed therein or in the footnotes thereto or as
otherwise disclosed in writing to Trinity; and

(iii) all financial projections that were prepared by WGRAH, its Affiliates, or
its Representatives and made available to Trinity prior to such Relevant Date in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement were prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed by WGRAH and its Affiliates to be
reasonable at the time such projections were prepared (it being understood that
such projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond WGRAH’s and its Affiliates’ control, and that no
assurance can be given that the projections will be realized or that the
assumptions on which the projections were based will prove to be correct).

(h) WGRAH’s Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date are listed on Part A of
Schedule I hereto, and each such Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary is
indicated as such on Part A of Schedule I.

(i) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(j) (i) The execution, delivery and performance by each WGRAH Loan Party of each
Transaction Agreement to which it is a party and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the making of the WGRAH Loan, and
(ii) the granting and perfection by the WGRAH Loan Parties of Liens in the
Collateral pursuant to the WGRAH Security Documents, in each case do not require
any action by or in respect of (including any license or permit), consent or
approval of, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person, nor is any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other
action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any WGRAH Loan Document,
except for (A) the filing of financing statements and any continuation
statements with respect to filings under the UCC (or its equivalent) in relevant

obtained, made, taken or given under the terms of the Transaction Agreement to
which it is a party.

(k) Since the date of its formation, it has not engaged in any activity other
than that contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or entered into any
commitment or incurred any Indebtedness other than pursuant to, or as permitted

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

(m) Since the date of its formation, there has been no event with respect to it
that has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in a WGRAH
Material Adverse Change.

(n) Schedule III-A describes and sets forth the commercial terms of each
material Midstream Agreement with any Affiliate of Anadarko that exists and is
in written form on the Effective Date (and no other agreements). Schedule III-B
describes and sets forth the commercial terms of each material Midstream
Agreement with any Affiliate of Anadarko that exists but is not in written form
on the Effective Date (and no other agreements). The sum of the gross revenues
under the contracts listed on Schedule III-A and the gross revenues under the
contracts listed on Schedule III-B is greater than or equal to 90% of the gross
revenues under all written and unwritten Midstream Agreements with Affiliates of
Anadarko existing on the Effective Date. None of the Midstream Agreements with
any Affiliate of Anadarko has been amended or otherwise modified except as
otherwise permitted by the Transaction Agreements, and each Midstream Agreement
with any Affiliate of Anadarko is in full force and effect. No WGRAH Loan Party
is, and to WGRAH’s knowledge no other party to any Midstream Agreement is, in
default of its material obligations under any Midstream Agreement.

(o) Each WGRAH Loan Party’s chief place of business and chief executive office
are located at 1201 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, Texas 77380.

facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences that could reasonably be
anticipated to form the basis of any tort claim against WGRAH, any of its
Subsidiaries, or Trinity or any WGRAH Property or Property of Trinity that
individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a
WGRAH Material Adverse Change.

(q) It has filed and paid, or caused to be filed and paid on a timely basis, all
Tax Returns and Taxes (whether gains Taxes, transfer Taxes, recording fees or
Taxes and all other Taxes) due and owing by it or any of its Subsidiaries and
such other Tax Returns and Taxes that arise in connection with the transactions
contemplated in the Transaction Agreements, but excluding Taxes the non-timely
filing or payment of which, in the context of the Transaction Agreements, such
transactions, and the rights and remedies of the respective parties thereto,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a WGRAH Material Adverse Change.

(r) Each of WGRAH and each of its Subsidiaries has good title to its properties
and assets, free and clear of all mortgages, liens and encumbrances, except for
Permitted Liens. Schedule II describes by owner all of the gathering systems,
processing plants, and other material assets (including all partnership and
joint venture interests) owned by WGRAH and its Subsidiaries. Each of WGRAH and
each of its Subsidiaries owns all of the assets necessary to continue to own and
operate its gathering systems, processing plants, and other material assets in a
manner substantially similar to the manner such assets were operated for the
twelve months prior to the Effective Date.

(s) Each of WGRAH and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws,
rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or
its property, except where the failure to so comply, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be

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

expected to result in a WGRAH Material Adverse Change. Without limiting the
generality and coverage of the foregoing, WGRAH and each of its Subsidiaries is
in compliance with all Environmental Laws and all laws, regulations, or
directives with respect to equal employment opportunity and employee safety in
all jurisdictions in which WGRAH or any of its Subsidiaries does business,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a WGRAH Material Adverse Change.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent in exercising
any right or power hereunder or under the other WGRAH Loan Documents shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Trinity and the
WGRAH Collateral Agent provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by WGRAH therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
the making of a WGRAH Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of
Default, regardless of whether Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent may have
had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by WGRAH and Trinity; provided that, if the amendment, waiver, modification, or

contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all costs and
expenses incurred by Trinity and the WGRAH Collateral Agent, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for Trinity and the WGRAH Collateral
Agent, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under this

Section, or in connection with the WGRAH Loan made, including all such costs and
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of the WGRAH Loan.

(b) WGRAH shall indemnify each Indemnified Person against, and hold each
Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, demands,

counsel for any Indemnified Person, incurred by or

 

32

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

asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, negotiation, or preparation of this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by
the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder, or the
consummation of the WGRAH Loan Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) the WGRAH Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom,
or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person,
be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Person, as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, WGRAH shall defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any losses, claims,
demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses
of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising
out of, or in any way related to, (w) the presence, disposal, release, or
threatened release of any Hazardous Materials which are on, from, or affecting
the soil, water, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons, animals, or
otherwise; (x) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage
(real or personal) arising out of or related to such Hazardous Materials;
(y) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order
relating to such Hazardous Materials, and/or (z) any violation of laws, orders,

or requirements of the Agency or the Trustee, which are based upon or in any way
related to such Hazardous Materials including, without limitation, attorney and
consultant fees and expenses, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs,
and litigation expenses. The foregoing indemnities shall expressly include any
indemnified amounts attributable to the ordinary, sole or contributory
negligence of any Indemnified Person, in each case to the extent not
constituting gross negligence.

(c) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor together with a copy of the invoice(s) or other documentation
setting forth in reasonable detail the amount demanded and the matter(s) to
which it relates.

(d) The indemnities set forth in this Section 10.03 shall be in addition to any
other obligations or liabilities of WGRAH hereunder or at common law or
otherwise and shall survive the resignation or replacement of the WGRAH

WGRAH Commitment, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the WGRAH
Obligations.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby.

such consent shall be null and void).

 

33

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

(c) Trinity may, with Pecos’s consent, assign to one or more lenders or other
entities (upon consultation with WGRAH) any or all of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement.

(d) After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event or an Anadarko Credit Event,
Trinity may, with Pecos’s consent, assign any or all of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement to any Person.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Persons of Trinity and the WGRAH Collateral
Agent) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

Section 10.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by WGRAH herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered
to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the WGRAH Loan,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf
and notwithstanding that Trinity may have had notice or knowledge of any Event
of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on the WGRAH Loan or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of
Section 2.10, Section 10.03, and this Section 10.05 shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the WGRAH Loan or the termination of this
Agreement or any other provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other
WGRAH Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent constitute the entire contract
among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by Trinity and the WGRAH
Collateral Agent and when Trinity shall have received counterparts hereof which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto,
and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

34

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

and be continuing and (b) the principal of the WGRAH Loan has been accelerated,

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 obligations at any time owing by Trinity or
the WGRAH Collateral Agent to or for the credit or the account of WGRAH against
any of and all the obligations of WGRAH now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement held by Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent, irrespective of whether
or not Trinity or the WGRAH Collateral Agent shall have made any demand under
this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of
Trinity and the WGRAH Collateral Agent under this Section are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Trinity or
the WGRAH Collateral Agent may have. Upon the exercise by Trinity or the WGRAH
Collateral Agent of its rights under this Section, Trinity or the WGRAH
Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall notify WGRAH thereof.

Property or securities (other than Reorganization Securities), by setoff or
otherwise, before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, which is to

purpose; provided, that the foregoing shall not confer to the holder of any
Senior Indebtedness the right to vote on behalf of the Subordinated Lenders in
any Insolvency Proceedings.

Section [x].4 No Impairment. No right of any present or future holder of Senior
Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of
WGRAH or any Subsidiary or by any non-compliance by WGRAH or any Subsidiary with
the terms, provisions, and covenants of this Article, the Subordinated Loan
Agreement or the Subordinated Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge
thereof any such Subordinated Lender may have or be otherwise charged with. The
provisions of this Article shall be enforceable directly by the Senior
Indebtedness Representative.

Section [x].5 Rights of Creditors; Subrogation. The provisions of this Article
are for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness on the one hand, and the Subordinated Lenders on the other hand,
and nothing herein shall impair, as between WGRAH and the Subordinated Lenders,
the obligation of WGRAH, which are unconditional and absolute, to pay to the
Subordinated Lenders the principal thereof and interest thereon in accordance
with their terms and the provisions thereof, nor shall anything herein prevent
the Subordinated Lenders from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law or hereunder upon default under the Subordinated Loan Agreement
or under the Subordinated Loan Documents (including the right to demand payment
and sue for performance thereof and of the Subordinated Loan Documents and to
accelerate the maturity thereof as provided by the terms of the Subordinated
Loan Documents), subject to the rights of holders of the Senior Indebtedness
under this Article. Upon payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness in cash and

loans or extensions of credit, and expiration or termination of all letters of
credit issued by any holder of the Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Lenders

holders of the Senior Indebtedness or otherwise applied to the Senior

 

B-2

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

Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article, be subrogated to the
rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of assets of WGRAH made on Senior Indebtedness (and any security
therefor) until the Subordinated Obligations shall be paid in full (and, for
this purpose, no such payments or distributions paid or delivered to the holders
of the Senior Indebtedness or otherwise applied to the Senior Indebtedness shall
be deemed to have discharged the Subordinated Obligations), and, for the
purposes of such subrogation, no payments to the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of any cash, assets, stock, or obligations to which the
Subordinated Lenders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article
shall, as between WGRAH, any of their respective creditors (other than the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness), and the Subordinated Lenders, be deemed to
be a payment by WGRAH to or on account of Senior Indebtedness. The fact that
failure to make any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations is caused
by reason of the operation of any provision of this Article shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Section [x].6 Payments on Senior Indebtedness. In the event that any
Subordinated Lender determines in good faith that evidence is required with
respect to the right of any holder of the Senior Indebtedness to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article or the amount of such
participation, such Subordinated Lender may request such Person to furnish
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of such Subordinated Lender as to the
amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such
Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other
facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such
evidence is not furnished, such Subordinated Lender may defer any payment to
such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to
receive such payment; provided that, upon the written request of such Person to
such Subordinated Lender, such payment shall be made to the court having
jurisdiction over such judicial determination or to another Person mutually
satisfactory to such Person and such Subordinated Lender, as escrowee, to be
held and invested pending such judicial determination in accordance with such
instructions as shall be mutually satisfactory to such Person and such
Subordinated Lender and upon such judicial determination becoming final and
non-appealable to be distributed in accordance therewith to the Person entitled
thereto.

Section [x].7 Notice of Acceleration. Each Subordinated Lender agrees that in
the event any Event of Default shall occur, and as a result thereof, any
Subordinated Lender or the Subordinated Lender Representative or other
representative of such Subordinated Lender accelerates maturity or demands
payment of the Subordinated Loan Documents, then such Subordinated Lender or the
Subordinated Lender Representative or other representative shall give prompt
(and in any event within three (3) Business Days) notice thereof in writing to
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or the Senior Indebtedness
Representative. Neither WGRAH nor any Subsidiary may pay the Subordinated
Obligations until five (5) Business Days after the Senior Indebtedness
Representative receives the notice described above and, after that five
(5) Business Day period, may pay the Subordinated Obligations, and the
Subordinated Lenders may receive or collect such payment, only if the provisions
of this Article do not prohibit such payment at that time.

Section [x].8 Reinstatement. The provisions of this Article shall remain in
force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness in cash and the termination of all commitments of any holder of the
Senior Indebtedness to make loans or extensions of credit, and

expiration or termination of all letters of credit issued by any holder of the
Senior Indebtedness. To the extent any payment of or distribution in respect of
the Senior Indebtedness (whether by or on behalf of WGRAH or any of its
Subsidiaries, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of set off or
otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
to be paid to WGRAH or any Subsidiary or any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy,
liquidating trustee, agent or other similar person under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then if such
payment or distribution is recovered by, or paid over to, WGRAH or any
Subsidiary or such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent
or other similar Person, the Senior Indebtedness or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if
such payment has not occurred and the provisions of this Article shall continue
to be applicable in respect of said reinstated Senior Indebtedness.

Section [x].9 Rights of Holders of the Senior Indebtedness. The holders of the
Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time subject to the terms
of the Senior Indebtedness, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated
Lenders or the Subordinated Lender or other representative of the Subordinated
Lenders, without incurring responsibility to the Subordinated Lenders and
without impairing or releasing the subordination or other benefits provided in
this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Subordinated Lenders to the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following:

exercising any rights against WGRAH, any Subsidiary or any other Person. The
foregoing provisions are not intended to permit a change to the definition of
“Senior Indebtedness”.

Section [x].10 Amendments. No amendment of this Article [x], or the definitions
used in this Article [x], or which would have the effect of modifying the
agreement set forth in this Article [x], or the definitions used in this Article
[x], shall be effective unless it is in writing and made with the prior written
consent of the Senior Lender or by the Senior Indebtedness Representative acting
at their written direction on their behalf.

Section [x].11 Identity of Subordinated Lenders for Notice Purposes. For
purposes of any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder by the

and the Senior Indebtedness Representative shall be entitled to rely,

Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied upon the provisions of
