     2.5 Financial Covenants. The first sentence of the second-to-last paragraph of
Section 6.07(b) of the Credit Agreement (which reads “For purposes of calculating such ratio the
Project Finance Subsidiaries shall be disregarded.”) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:



For purposes of calculating such ratio the Project Finance Subsidiaries shall be disregarded
and, following the initial public offering of DEP (as described in DEP’s Form S-1
Registration Statement filed December 15, 2006 with the SEC, as from time to time amended or
supplemented): (i) Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense in any prior fiscal
quarters attributable to assets contributed to DEP shall be excluded from the calculation of
Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such prior fiscal quarters;
however, such exclusion does not apply to, and there shall be included in such calculation,
(A) the amount of cash dividends or distributions payable with respect to such a period by a
Project Finance Subsidiary or DEP which are actually received by the Borrower or a
Subsidiary (other than a Project Finance Subsidiary) on or prior to the date the financial
statements with respect to such period referred to in Section 5.01 are required to be
delivered by Borrower, and (B) with respect to EBITDA of a subsidiary owned jointly by DEP
and the Borrower, excluding amounts actually dividended or distributed by such subsidiary
and received by the owners thereof, an amount equal to such subsidiary’s EBITDA
times the Borrower’s direct or indirect ownership percentage of the Equity Interests
in such subsidiary (other than through DEP), and (ii) for purposes of calculating such ratio
for the fiscal quarters ending prior to March 31, 2008, any dividends or distributions paid
by DEP, without duplication, which are actually received by the Borrower shall be annualized
as follows: (A) for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2007, such dividends or
distributions received during the period commencing with such initial public offering and
ending on the date the financial statements with respect to such period are required to be
delivered by the Borrower times 365 divided by the number of days from such
initial public offering to March 31, 2007, (B) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2007,
such dividends or distributions received during the period commencing with such initial
public offering and ending on the date the financial statements with respect to such period
are required to be delivered by the Borrower times 365 divided by the number
of days from such initial public offering to June 30, 2007, (C) for the fiscal quarter
ending September 30, 2007, such dividends or distributions received during the period
commencing with such initial public offering and ending on the date the financial statements
with respect to such period are required to be delivered by the Borrower times 365
divided by the number of days from such initial


3









 






public offering to September 30, 2007, and (D) for the fiscal quarter ending December 31,
2007, such dividends or distributions received during the period commencing with such
initial public offering and ending on the date the financial statements with respect to such
period are required to be delivered by the Borrower times 365 divided by the
number of days from such initial public offering to December 31, 2007.



     2.6 Notices. The reference to “all notices and other communications” set forth in the
first sentence of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to refer instead to “and
except as provided in Section 9.01(f), all notices and other communications”, and such Section 9.01
is further amended and supplemented by amending Section 9.01(e) in its entirety and adding a new
Section 9.01(f) thereafter, to read as follows:




     (e) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) of record with
the Administrative Agent, which Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrower or any
Lender upon request from time to time; and




     (f) The Borrower will have the option to provide to the Administrative Agent all
information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other document executed in connection
herewith, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements,
financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any
such communication that (i) 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) or relates to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other
amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice
of any Default or Event of Default, or (iv) other than the requirements set forth in
Sections 3.04(a), 4.01(j) and 5.01, is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition
precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing, any issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any other extension of credit
hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as
“Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium
in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower further agrees that the
Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank by posting the Communications on SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic
transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that the
distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that
there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. The
Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined below) do
not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the
Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. 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 the Agent Parties in
connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative
Agent or any of its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to
the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, 



4









 






including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising
out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through
the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from
such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent
agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail
address as specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time shall constitute
effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of this
Agreement and any other documents executed in connection herewith. Each of the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that
the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of
the Communications to such Issuing Bank or Lender, as the case may be, for purposes of this
Agreement and any other documents executed in connection herewith. Each of the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by
electronic communication) from time to time of such Issuing Bank’s or Lender’s, as the case
may be, e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission,
and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall
prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other
communication pursuant hereto or any other document executed in connection herewith in any
other manner specified herein or therein.



     2.7 Conditions Precedent. The obligation of the Lenders party hereto and the
Administrative Agent to enter into this Third Amendment shall be conditioned upon the following
conditions precedent:



     (a) The Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of this Third Amendment, duly

Limited Partner pursuant to a duly executed Acknowledgement and Ratification in the form of Exhibit

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the Third Amendment
Effective Date and signed by the President, an Executive Vice President or a Financial Officer of
the Borrower, confirming compliance with the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of
Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement, and Section 2.5(d) hereof.



     (c) The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on
or prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced five (5) Business
Days prior to closing, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be
reimbursed or paid by the Borrower hereunder.



     (d) As of the Third Amendment Effective Date, no Material Adverse Change exists.



     (e) The Administrative Agent shall have received such other information, documents or
instruments as it or its counsel may reasonably request.



     3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants that:



5

with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, an Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement, as hereby amended and supplemented;



     (b) the Borrower has performed and complied with all covenants, agreements and conditions
contained in the Credit Agreement, as hereby amended and supplemented, required to be performed or
complied with by it; and

hereby amended and supplemented, were true and correct in all material respects when made, and are

Amendment, except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in
which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of
such earlier date.



     4. Extent of Amendments. Except as expressly herein set forth, all of the terms,
conditions, defined terms, covenants, representations, warranties and all other provisions of the
Credit Agreement are herein ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.



     5. Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts,
and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties hereto be contained on any one
counterpart hereof; each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.



     6. References. On and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the terms
“Agreement”, “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder”, and terms of like import when used in the Credit
Agreement shall, except where the context otherwise requires, refer to the Credit Agreement, as
amended and supplemented by this Third Amendment.



     7. Governing Law. This Third Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law.



     THIS THIRD AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED HEREBY, THE NOTES AND THE OTHER
DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.



     THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.




     This Third Amendment shall benefit and bind the parties hereto, as well as their respective
assigns, successors, heirs and legal representatives.
