Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date to the Termination Date, so long as (a) with respect to any
Lender, such Revolving Credit Loans then requested to be made by such Lender do
not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of all Loans
then requested from the Lenders, and (b) the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of all Revolving Credit Loans by all Lenders hereunder plus the aggregate
principal amount of all Swing Line Loans plus the LC Obligation outstanding at
any time does not exceed the Borrowing Base in effect at such
time.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, until the
Termination Date, Company may borrow, repay, and reborrow
hereunder.

shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
promissory note from the Company payable to the order of such Lender (herein
called such Lender’s “Note” and

amount of principal owing on any Lender’s Note at any given time shall be the
aggregate amount of all Loans theretofore made by such Lender minus all payments of

approved by the Administrative Agent upon the request of the Company at any time
and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and up to, but excluding,

of Credit and drawings thereunder.  No Letter of Credit will be issued
in a face amount which, after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, would cause the LC Obligation to exceed $50,000,000 or the Effective
Amount to exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect.

aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the
Termination Date, on which date all principal amounts outstanding, plus all accrued but
unpaid interest and other amounts then due hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable in full.
  (b)           Swing Line Loans. The
Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the

  (i)           Each
LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the aggregate outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (A)
LIBOR, plus the Applicable Margin, or (B) the Highest Lawful
Rate.  Each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and each
Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the aggregate outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date or date of conversion or
continuation pursuant to Section
2.03, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (A)
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the Highest Lawful
Rate.
  (ii)          Interest
on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date.  Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of
Loans under Section
2.04(b) or 2.05(c)
(except in the case of Base Rate Loans) for the portion of the Loans so prepaid
and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof and, during the
existence of any Event of Default, interest shall be paid on demand of the
Administrative Agent.
  (iii)         Notwithstanding
Section
2.06(c)(i), the Company shall pay interest (after, as well as before,
entry of judgment thereon, to the extent permitted by law) on the principal
amount of all outstanding Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate
(A) while any Event of Default under Section
9.01(a)(i)exists and (B) if required by the Majority Banks by notice to
the Company given through the Administrative Agent, while any Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default under Section 9.01
(a)(i)) exists.
  2.07        Fees.
  (a)           Commitment
Fee.  The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Lenders, an aggregate commitment fee at a per annum rate
equal to the then-applicable Commitment Fee indicated in the Pricing Grid times the actual
daily amount by which the Commitment exceeds the sum of (i) the outstanding
amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of LC
Obligations.  Such commitment fee shall accrue from the Effective Date
to the Termination Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the
first Business Day of the first month of each quarter commencing on May 1,
2010, through the Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the

including at any time during which one or more conditions in Section
5.02 are not met.

 (b)           Letter of Credit Fee.
The Company agrees to pay (i) to Issuing Lender (for the ratable account of the
Lenders in their respective Pro Rata Shares), a fee for each Letter of Credit,
to be paid quarterly in arrears following the Issuance of such Letter of Credit
(including the initial Issuance and any renewal, extension or increase in the
amount thereof) in the amount equal to the greater of (A) $500.00 and (B) the
product equal to the Letter of Credit rate set forth on the Pricing Grid multiplied by the
undrawn amount available under such Letter of Credit (such fee shall be deemed
to be fully earned and owing upon the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, and no
refund shall be due in the event such Letter of Credit is terminated prior to
its expiry date), provided, however, if any
Letter of Credit exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (X) if
the Company has cash collateralized any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Fronting Exposure pursuant to Section
2.15(b),
then the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to this Section
2.07 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure during
the period such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure is cash collateralized,
(Y) if the non-Defaulting Lenders’ exposure to Letters of Credit is reallocated
pursuant to Section
2.15(d), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.07shall be adjusted in accordance with the non-Defaulting Lenders’ exposure
to Letters of Credit as so allocated, or (Z) if such Defaulting Lender’s
Fronting Exposure is neither cash collateralized pursuant to Section
2.15(b) nor reallocated pursuant to Section
2.15(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing
Bank or any Lender hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section
2.07 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall be
payable to the Issuing Bank until such Fronting Exposure is cash collateralized
and/or reallocated, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender for its account a fee for the
issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the initial Issuance and any
renewal, extension or increase in the amount thereof), at the Issuance of such
Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to the greater of (A) $500.00 and (B)
one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) multiplied by the
aggregate amount available under each Letter of Credit (such fees shall be
prorated for any period less than a full year but shall not be refunded in the
event any such Letter of Credit is terminated prior to its expiry date) and
(iii) Issuing Lender’s usual and customary fees for amendment to transfer of or
negotiation of the terms of each Letter of Credit.  The Administrative
Agent shall pay to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Fee
paid pursuant to Section
2.07(b)(i).  The Administrative Agent shall pay to the Issuing
Lender the Letter of Credit fees paid pursuant to Section
2.07(b)(ii)and(iii).
  (c)           Agency
Fees.  The Company shall pay fees to the Administrative Agent
for the Administrative Agent’s own account, as required by that certain letter
agreement (“Engagement
Letter”) between the Company and the Administrative Agent dated as of
March 31, 2010, relating hereto.
  2.08        Computation of Fees and
Interest.
  (a)           All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if
computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue during
each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day
thereof to the last day thereof.
  (b)           Each
determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest
error.

 2.09        Payments by the Company; Borrowings
Pro Rata.
  (a)           All
payments to be made by the Company shall be made without set-off, recoupment or
counterclaim.  All payments by the Company shall be made in
immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent by credit to the
Company’s operating account at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office for the
account of the Administrative Agent or the Lender to whom such payment is owed,
and shall be made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than
12 Noon (Houston, Texas time) on the date specified herein.  Except to
the extent otherwise provided herein, (i) each payment by the Company of fees
shall be made pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (ii)
each payment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made for the
account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective outstanding
principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, and (iii) each payment of interest
on Revolving Credit Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata
in accordance with their respective shares of the aggregate amount of interest
due and payable to the Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent money is received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the exercise of
remedies under the Security Documents such money shall be applied to the pro
rata payment of obligations secured by such Security Document.
  (b)           The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its applicable
share of such payment in like funds as received.  Any payment received
by the Administrative Agent later than 12 Noon (Houston, Texas time) may be
deemed by the Administrative Agent to have been received on the following
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue.  When the Administrative Agent collects or receives money on
account of the Obligations or otherwise pursuant to the Security Documents if
such money is insufficient to pay all such Obligations, such money shall be
applied first to any reimbursements due Administrative Agent under Section
11.04 or 11.05.
  (c)           Subject
to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein,
whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may
be.
  (d)           Unless
the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Company prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Company will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be,
the amount due.  In such event, if the Company has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may
be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
  (e)           Except
to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, each borrowing of Revolving
Credit Loans hereunder shall be from the Lenders pro rata in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata Shares.
  2.10        Issuing the Letters of
Credit.
  (a)           Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the
Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit for its own account or for any of its
Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
the Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Availability
Period; provided
that the Company may not request the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of Letters of Credit hereunder if (i) the Effective Amount exceeds the
Borrowing Base at such time or would exceed the Borrowing Base as a result
thereof, or (ii) the aggregate LC Obligation exceeds the Letter of Credit
Sublimit or would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit as a result
thereof.

 (b)           In
order to effect the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall submit a
Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing and a LC Application in writing by telecopy
to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Issuing Lender) not
later than 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, three (3) Business Days before the
requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such Notice of
Revolving Credit Borrowing and LC Application shall be (i) signed by the
Company, (ii) specify the Business Day on which such Letter of Credit is to be
issued, (iii) specify the purpose for the requested Letter of Credit, (iv)
specify the availability for Letters of Credit under (A) the Borrowing Base and
(B) the $50,000,000 aggregate LC Obligation limitation, as of the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit, (v) specify the expiry date thereof, which
shall not be later than the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months from the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) seven (7) Business Days prior to the
Termination Date, and (vi) specify such other matters as may be reasonably
required by the Issuing Lender.
  Notwithstanding
Section2.10(b)(v)(A),
but subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, if the Company so requests
in a LC Application, the Issuing Lender shall issue a Letter of Credit that has
automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit”).  Any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit
must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in
each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day
(the “Non-Extension
Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the
time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by
the Issuing Lender, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request
to the Issuing Lender for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized
(but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter
of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the latest date for
expiry of Letters of Credit permitted by this Section
2.10(b); provided, however, that the
Issuing Lender shall not be required to permit any such extension if (A) the
Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as
extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by
telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before
the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section
5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing
Lender not to permit such extension.
  (c)           Unless
the Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender, the
Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the
requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that
one or more applicable conditions set forth inArticle Vshall not have been satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit or amendment, as
the case may be, to the specified beneficiary, in each case in accordance with
the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. The Issuing Bank
shall provide the Company with a copy of each Letter of Credit so
issued.  Each such Letter of Credit shall, unless otherwise expressly
agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Company at the time such Letter of Credit
is issued, be subject to the rules of the “International Standby Practices
1998” or such later version as may be published by the Institute of
International Banking Law and Practice (the “ISP
1998”), or any successor entity, and shall, as to matters not governed by
the ISP 1998, be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.  The Issuing Lender shall have no
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at such time a
Defaulting Lender hereunder (unless the Issuing Lender has entered into
satisfactory arrangements with the Company or such Lender to eliminate the
Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender).

 (d)           Upon
the issuance date of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each other Lender,
and each other Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have purchased from the Issuing Lender, a participation, to the
extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit, the
obligations thereunder and in the reimbursement obligations of the Company due
in respect of drawings made under such Letter of Credit.  If requested
by the Issuing Lender, the other Lenders will execute any other documents
reasonably requested by the Issuing Lender to evidence the purchase of such
participation.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Agreement in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of
Default, the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
  (e)           Upon
the presentment of any draft for honor under any Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary thereof which the Issuing Lender determines is in compliance with
the conditions for payment thereunder, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify
the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof, but failure to so notify the
Company shall not in any way affect the Company’s obligations
hereunder.  The Company hereby promises and agrees, at the Company’s
option, to either (i) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender, by 2:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the date payment is due as
specified in such notice, the full amount of such draft in immediately available
funds or (ii) request a Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01(a)andSection 2.02 of this Agreement in the full amount of such draft, which
request shall specify that the Borrowing Date is to be the date payment is due
under the Letter of Credit as specified in the Issuing Lender’s
notice.  The Company will be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the intended date of honor in an amount equal
to the unreimbursed drawing, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section
5.02 (other than delivery of a Notice of Borrowing).  If the
Company fails timely to make such payment because a Loan cannot be made pursuant
to Section
2.01(a) and/or Section
5.02, each Lender shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement (including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default), make available to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Issuing Lender an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the presented draft on
the day the Issuing Lender is required to honor such draft.  If such
amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender
on such date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Issuing Lender, on demand made by the Issuing Lender, in addition to such
amount, interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two days
following demand and thereafter until paid at the Base Rate.  Upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders of the full amount of such
draft, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default) the full amount
of such draft shall automatically and without any action by the Company, be
deemed to have been a Base Rate Loan as of the date of payment of such
draft.  Nothing in this Section
2.10(e) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall diminish the Company’s
obligation under this Agreement to provide the funds for the payment of, or on
demand to reimburse the Issuing Lender for payment of, any draft presented to,
and duly honored by, the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, and the
automatic funding of a Loan as in this Section
2.10(e) provided shall not constitute a cure or waiver of the Event of
Default for failure to provide timely such funds as in this Section 2.10(e)agreed.

 (f)           The
Company’s obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts paid on account
of drafts honored under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
(1) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any LC
Application, or any term or provision therein, (2) any draft or other document
presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect, (3) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by
the Issuing Lender against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any LC Application, or (4)
any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section
2.10(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right
of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their
Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment
or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the
Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the
Issuing Lender from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages
(as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby
waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the
Company that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite
care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and
without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance
with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter
of Credit may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such
documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon
such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.  The Company hereby waives presentment for
payment (except the presentment required by the terms of any Letter of Credit)
and notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest with respect to drafts
honored under the Letters of Credit.
  (g)           In
the event that any provision of a LC Application is inconsistent with, or in
conflict of, any provision of this Agreement, including provisions for the rate
of interest applicable to drawings thereunder or rights of setoff or any
representations, warranties, covenants or any events of default set forth
therein, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
  (h)           If
the Obligations, or any part thereof, are declared or otherwise become
immediately due and payable pursuant to Article IX
of this Agreement (for the purposes of this paragraph, the “Matured
Obligations”), then all LC Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable without regard for actual drawings or payments on the Letters of Credit,
and the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent
immediately an amount equal to the LC Obligations.  All amounts made
due and payable by the Company under this Subsection 2.10(h)
may be applied as the Issuing Lender elects to any of the various LC
Obligations; provided, however, that such
amounts applied to the LC Obligations shall be (i) first applied to the Matured
LC Obligation, and (ii) second held by the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders as Collateral in the LC Collateral
Account until all remaining Matured Obligations have been
satisfied.  This Subsection
2.10(h) shall not limit or impair any rights which the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender or any of the Lenders may have under any other
document or agreement relating to any Letter of Credit or LC Obligation,
including without limitation, any LC Application. The Company hereby grants a
security interest in and lien on all cash and other funds paid to the
Administrative Agent to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section,
the LC Collateral Account and all funds therein, and all proceeds of the
foregoing, to the Administrative Agent for and on behalf of the Lenders as
security for the Obligations.  The Company agrees to execute and
deliver from time to time such documentation as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request to further assure such security interest.

  2.11        Payments to the Administrative Agent;
Several Obligations of the Lenders.
  (a)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (or, in the case
of any Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 10:00 a.m.
Houston, Texas time on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing) that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share
of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance withSection
2.02 (or, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the
time required by Section
2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Company a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in
fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Company severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (ii)
in the case of a payment to be made by the Company, the interest rate applicable
to the other Loans included in such Borrowing.  If the Company and
such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or
an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Company the amount of such interest paid by the Company for such
period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving
Credit Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in such Revolving Credit
Borrowing.  Any payment by the Company shall be without prejudice to
any claim the Company may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make
such payment to the Administrative Agent.
  (b)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Company will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be,
the amount due.  In such event, if the Company has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may
be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
  (c)           The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date, to fund any
participation or to make a payment pursuant to Section
11.04(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to do so,
but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make
the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date, to fund any
participation to be funded by such other Lender, or to make any payment pursuant
to Section
11.04(c) to be made by such Lender.

 2.12        Sharing
of Payments .  If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Revolving Credit Loans or the participations in LC Obligations or in Swing
Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Credit Loans or
participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share
thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall
  (a)           notify
the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
  (b)           purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit Loans and
subparticipations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders,
or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Revolving Credit Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
  (i)           if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;
and
  (ii)           the
provisions of this Section
2.12 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on
behalf of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of
a Defaulting Lender, (y) the application of cash collateral provided for in
Section
2.15 or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Loans or
subparticipations in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or
participant.
  Each Loan
Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do
so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to
the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such
participation.
  2.13        Swing
Line Loans.
  (a)           The Swing
Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Lenders set forth in this Section
2.13(a), to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line
Loan”), to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date in an aggregate amount
not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the
Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans and LC
Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of
such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any
Swing Line Loan, (A) the sum of the aggregate outstanding amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans plus the Swing Line Loans plus LC Obligations shall not
exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time, and (B) the sum of the aggregate
outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender at such time,
plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of all LC
Obligations at such time, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other
terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section
2.13(a), prepay under Section
2.04(b)(iii), and reborrow under this Section
2.13(a).  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a rate
based on the Base Rate.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line
Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line
Loan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Swingline Lender shall not at any time be obligated to make any Swingline Loan
hereunder if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Company
has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Swingline Lender to eliminate
the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender.

 (b)           Borrowing
Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Company’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be
received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
3:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time on the requested borrowing date, and shall
specify (A) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $200,000 or
any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, and (B) the requested borrowing
date, which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must
be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Company.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any
telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender
will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the
contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice
(by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the
request of any Lender) prior to 4:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time on the date of
the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (I) directing the Swing Line Lender not to
make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the
proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.13(a), (II) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Article
V is not then satisfied, or (III) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting
Lender hereunder (unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into satisfactory
arrangements with the Company or such Lender to eliminate the Swing Line
Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender),then subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 5:00 p.m.,
Houston, Texas time on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan
Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Company at its
office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Swing Line
Lender in immediately available funds.
  (c)           Refinancing of Swing Line
Loans.
  (i)           The
Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may request,
on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Credit
Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a
Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes hereof) and in accordance with
the requirements of Section
2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for
the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion
of the aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02.  The
Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable
borrowing notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative
Agent.  Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share
of the amount specified in such notice available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Payment Office not later than 2:00 p.m. Houston, Texas
time on the day specified in such borrowing notice, whereupon, subject to Section
2.13(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to
have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Company in
such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the Swing Line Lender.

 (ii)          If
for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving
Credit Loan in accordance with Section
2.13(c)(i), the request for Revolving Credit Loans submitted by the Swing
Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing
Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section
2.13(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.
  (iii)         If
any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.13(c) by the time specified in Section
2.13(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at
a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the
foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Loan included in the relevant borrowing or funded participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line
Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect
to any amounts owing under this clause
(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
  (iv)         Each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section
2.13(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the
Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  No such funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the
Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided
herein.
  (d)           Repayment of
Participations.
  (i)           At
any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving
Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof in the same funds as those received by
the Swing Line Lender.
  (ii)       
  If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of
principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be refunded by the
Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section
11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing
Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender
its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative
Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line
Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.
  (e)           Interest for Account of
Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible
for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until
each Lender funds it Revolving Credit Loan or risk participation pursuant to
this Section
2.13(e) to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan,
interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of
the Swing Line Lender.

 (f)           Payments Directly to Swing
Line Lender.  The Company shall make all payments of principal
and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line
Lender.
  2.14        Special
Provisions Applicable to BEP I.
  (a)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
for so long as BEP I is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Parent, (x) BEP I shall
not be required to execute a Guaranty or grant Liens on its property or assets
to secure the Obligations, and (y) the occurrence of a BEP I Default shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement.  Any
of the following shall constitute a “BEP I
Default”:  (i) BEP I incurs any Indebtedness, (ii) the failure
of the Loan Parties to cause BEP I to comply with one or more covenants in this
Agreement that are applicable to Restricted Subsidiaries and expiration of the
applicable grace period set forth in this Agreement, if any, (iii) failure of a
representation and warranty contained in this Agreement to be correct with
respect to BEP I or the Oil and Gas Properties owned by it, and (iv) any of the
events or circumstances described in Section 9.01(f)or 9.01(g)

the occurrence of a BEP I Default, the Required Lenders may request a Special
Borrowing Base Determination.
  (c)           This
Section
2.14 shall cease to apply when BEP I is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of
Parent, or, if earlier, when agreed by the Company.
  2.15        Defaulting
Lenders.
  (a)           Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such
Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
  (i)           fees
shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section
2.07(a); and
  (ii)          the
Commitment and the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such
Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the
Majority Lenders, or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section
11.01), provided that (A) any
waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender which directly affects such Defaulting Lender shall require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (B) the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting
Lender.
  (b)           Cash
Collateral.
  (i)           At
any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if the reallocation
described in Section 2.15(d)cannot, or can only partially, be effected then, within three Business
Days of the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the
Swingline Lender, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash
collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure after taking
into account any reallocation pursuant to Section
2.15(d).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, cash collateral provided under Section
2.05(c)(i),this Section 2.15,or Section
9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held
and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Obligation, Swing Line Loans,
obligations to fund participations therein and other obligations for which the
Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property
as may be provided for herein.

 (ii)          Cash
Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting
Exposure shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the
applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including
by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or by
replacement of the applicable Defaulting Lender by assignment made in accordance
with this Agreement) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination
that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, that cash
collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released
during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following
application as provided in this Section
2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section
9.02).
  (c)           Reallocation
of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article
VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section
10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by
the Administrative Agent as follows:
  first, to
the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder;
  second,
to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting
Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
  third, if
so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or
Swing Line Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations
of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter
of Credit, unless the Administrative Agent has previously received cash
collateral in an amount sufficient to cover future funding obligations after
taking into account any reallocation of that Defaulting Lender’s participation
obligation;
  fourth,
as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists),
to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent;
  fifth, if
so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in an
interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of
that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;
  sixth, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts
that Company certifies in writing are owed from such Defaulting Lender or its
Affiliate that is a Lender Derivative Provider under any Derivative Contract;
and
  seventh,
to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Loans or Matured LC Obligations in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans
or Matured LC Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section
5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to
pay the Loans of, and Matured LC Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders
on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or
Matured LC Obligations owed to, that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are
applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash
collateral pursuant to this Section
2.15(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 (d)           Reallocation of Pro Rata
Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which
there is a Defaulting Lender, the Fronting Exposure shall be reallocated among
the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares (computed
without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender), and for
purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender
to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line
Loans pursuant to Sections 2.10and2.13, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be
computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender;
provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the
date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of
Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender
to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of
that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the outstanding principal amount of Loans
owed to such non-Defaulting Lender.
  (e)           Defaulting Lender
Cure.  In the event that the Administrative Agent and the
Company each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Defaulting Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and on the effective date
specified in such notice, and such Lender shall purchase at par such of the
Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be
necessary in order for such Defaulting Lender to hold such Loans in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share.

  3.01        Taxes.
  (a)           Payments Free of
Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation
of the Company shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or
withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the
Company shall be required by a Requirement of Law to deduct any Indemnified
Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall
timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Requirements of Law.
  (b)           Payment of Other Taxes by
the Company.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a)above, the Company shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law.
  (c)           Indemnification by the
Company.  The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, 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 the Company by a Lender or the Issuing Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

 (d)           Evidence of
Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority, the
Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent.
  (e)           Status of
Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Company is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Requirements of Law or reasonably
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or
the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative
Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements.
  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is
resident for Tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender
shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only
if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever one or more of
the following is applicable:
  (i)           duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a
party,

section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
  (iv)         if
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to a
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA as a result of such Lender failing to comply
with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained
in Sections 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver documentation or certifications as are
required to evidence compliance by the Lender with FATCA for purposes of
determining if the Lender is subject to such withholding Tax, or

 (v)    
     any other form prescribed by Requirements of Law
as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as
may be prescribed by Requirements of Law to permit the Company to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made.
  (f)           Treatment of Certain
Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing
Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with
respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Company under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the
Company, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the
event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section
3.01(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or
any other Person.
  3.02        Illegality.
  (a)           If
any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any
change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of
any Requirement of Law, has, since the Effective Date, made it unlawful, or
that, since the Effective Date, any central bank or other Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make LIBOR Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Company
through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR
Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist; such notice to be promptly given upon the determination that such
circumstances no longer exist.
  (b)           If
a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Loan, the Company
shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert such LIBOR Loans of that Lender
then outstanding into a Base Rate Loan without regard to conditions precedent
described in Section
5.02(b), either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or
immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR
Loan.  Upon any such conversion, the Company shall pay accrued
interest on the amount so converted.  In addition, if any such
conversion occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company shall pay the affected Lender
such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section
3.04.
  (c)           If
the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans has been so
terminated or suspended, all Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained
by the Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.
  (d)           Before
giving any notice to the Administrative Agent under this Section, the affected
Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR
Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making
such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise
disadvantageous to the Lender.

modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any
reserve requirement included in the calculation of the LIBOR) or the Issuing
Lender; or
  (ii)  
       impose on any Lender or the Issuing
Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense
affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein;
  and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
(other than Taxes) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or
the Issuing Lender (other than Taxes) of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to
participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder

Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Company will pay to such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.
  (b)           Capital
Requirements.  If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines
that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any
lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any,
as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans
made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the
Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such
Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
  (c)           Certificates for
Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections
3.03(a) or (b) and
delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.  The Company shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as
the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

  (d)           Delay in
Requests.  Failure or delay on the
part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
right to demand such compensation,providedthat the Company shall not be required
to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to
the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies
the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).
  3.04        Funding
Losses .  The
Company shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss
or expense excluding consequential losses which the Lender may sustain or incur
as a consequence of: (a) the failure of the Company to make on a timely basis
any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan; (b) the failure of the Company to
borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Company has given (or is deemed to
have given) a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation (including by reason of the failure to satisfy any
condition precedent thereto); (c) the failure of the Company to make any
prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered under Section
2.04; (d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section
2.05 or 2.06) or
other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of a LIBOR Loan on a day
that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or (e) the automatic
conversion under Section
2.03 of any LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last
day of the relevant Interest Period; including any such loss or expense arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its
LIBOR Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained but excluding any loss of Applicable Margin after the date of such
failure, prepayment or conversion.  For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Company to the Lenders under this Section and under Section
3.03(a), each LIBOR Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have
been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR
Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market
for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR
Loan is in fact so funded.
  3.05        Inability
to Determine Rates .  If
Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or if the Majority Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to Section
2.06(c) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company
and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders revokes such notice in writing;
such written revocation to be promptly given upon determination that such
circumstances no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the
Company may revoke any Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it.  If the Company does not
revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as
proposed by the Company, in the amount specified in the applicable notice
submitted by the Company, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued
as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Loans.
  3.06        Certificates
of Lenders .  Any
Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article
III shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to
the Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the
Company in the absence of manifest error provided, however, that such Lender
shall only be entitled to collect amounts incurred within 180 days of such
notice.

  (a)           Designation of a Different
Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under
Section
3.03, or requires the Company to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
3.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.01 or 3.03, as
the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender in its sole discretion.  The Company hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
  (b)           Replacement of
Lenders.  If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.03, (ii) the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section
3.01, (iii) the obligation of any Lender to make, continue or convert
Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans is suspended under Section
3.02, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (v) any Lender refuses
to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document
requested by the Company that requires the consent of a greater percentage of
the Lenders than the Majority Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other
modification is consented to by the Majority Lenders, then the Company may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section
11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that:
  (i)           the
Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified
in Section
11.06;
  (ii)         such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Obligations, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
3.04) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other
amounts);
  (iii)         in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section
3.03or payments required to be made pursuant to Section
3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter; and
  (iv)         such
assignment does not conflict with applicable law.
  A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply.
  3.08        Survival .  The
agreements and obligations of the Company in this Article
III shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

(b)           In
the case of properties other than Oil and Gas Properties, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall not require the creation or perfection of Liens in
particular properties or assets if and for so long as, in the reasonable
judgment of the Administrative Agent, the cost of creating or perfecting such
Liens in such property shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained
by the Lenders therefrom.  The Administrative Agent may grant
extensions of time for the creation and perfection of Liens in particular assets
or property where it determines, in consultation with the Company, that such
action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or
times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other

time, without notice to the Company, any and all items hereinabove referred to
against the Obligations then due and payable.

direct or indirect value of the consideration received and to be received by

be expected to benefit such Guarantor, directly or indirectly.

times: (i) each such Derivative Contract limits or reduces such market price
risk for a term of no more than sixty (60) months; (ii) no such contract, at the

under this Section
8.10(a) (but
excluding put option contracts or similar “floor” arrangements) requires
the Loan Parties and BEP I, collectively, to deliver more than 85% of the
reasonably anticipated production for each month for the total Oil and Gas
classified as either “proved producing” or “proved developed non-producing” on
(x) the Oil and Gas Properties covered under the most recent Reserve Report

Contracts entered into by the Company with the purpose and effect of fixing
interest rates on a principal amount of Indebtedness of the Company that is

floating rate index of each such contract generally matches the index used to
determine the floating rates of interest on the corresponding Indebtedness of
the Company to be hedged by such contract, (ii) no such contract, except those
with a Lender or its Affiliate, when aggregated with all Derivative Contracts
permitted under Sections
8.10(a) and (b),
requires the Company to put up money, assets, letters of credit, or other
security against the event of its non-performance prior to actual default by the
Company in performing obligations thereunder, and (iii) each such contract shall
be with a Lender Derivative Provider, or with an unsecured counterparty or have

terminated in connection with the assignment, amendment  or other
transaction pursuant to which such party ceases to be a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender, and (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists,
Derivative Contracts may be modified or terminated, provided that, the
net effect of the modifications or terminations of such Derivative Contracts
(after giving effect to any new Derivative Contracts entered into during such
Borrowing Base Period prior to or in connection with, such modification or
termination), as determined by the Administrative Agent, plus the aggregate
value (as determined by the value assigned to such properties under the most
recent Reserve Report) of all Dispositions of Oil and Gas Properties made by the
Loan Parties during such period, together, shall not exceed in any Borrowing
Base Period five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base then in effect; further provided
that, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced by an amount
equal to the net effect of the modifications or terminations of such Derivative
Contracts (after giving effect to any new Derivative Contracts entered into
during such Borrowing Base Period prior to or in connection with, such
modification or termination) and to the extent a Borrowing Base Deficiency
results from such reduction, up to one-hundred (100%) of the cash and cash
equivalent proceeds of such modifications or terminations of Derivative
Contracts received by the Loan Parties, net of payment of, or provisions for
reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and taxes incurred by the Company in

Party suffers the imposition of any restraining order, escrow, suspension or
impounding of funds in connection with any proceeding (judicial or
administrative) with respect to any material license, permit or franchise; and,
in each case such revocation, failure or loss could reasonably be expected to

knew or reasonably should have known of such default or (ii) the date upon which
written notice thereof is given to the Company by the Administrative Agent or

corrective action is not completed within ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of such Reportable Event) with respect to any Pension Plan; (ii) the termination
of any Pension Plan in a “distress termination” under the provisions of Section

the Commitment, if any, of each Lender to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit
to be terminated, and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of the
Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable
under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same
shall become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of
intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration or any other notice of any kind,

  (iii)           exercise
on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and
the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law;
  provided, however, that upon
the occurrence of any event specified in Subsection
(f) or (g) of
Section
9.01 (in the case of clause (i) of Subsection
(g) upon the expiration of the 60-day period mentioned therein), the
obligation of each Lender to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit shall
automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans
and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due
and payable, and the obligation of the Company to cash collateralize Letters of
Credit shall automatically become effective, without further act of the
Administrative Agent, or any Lender and without presentment, demand, protest,
notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration or any other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Loan
Party.
  (b)           All
proceeds realized from the liquidation or other disposition of Collateral and
any amounts otherwise received on account of the Obligations after the exercise
of remedies provided for in Section
9.02 (or after any of the Loans have automatically become immediately due
and payable and the LC Obligations have automatically been required to be cash
collateralized) shall be applied:
  first, to
the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting reimbursement of
fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts (including fees and disbursements
of counsel to the Administrative Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent in
its capacity as such;
  second,
to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities
and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees)
payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender (including fees and expenses of
counsel), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described
in this clause second payable to them;

any excess shall be paid to the Company or as otherwise required by
law.
  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to distribute
funds in respect of Obligations under Lender Derivative Contracts if the
Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such
supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the
applicable Lender Derivative Provider.  Each Lender Derivative
Provider that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall,
by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX
hereof for itself and its Affiliates to the same extent as a “Lender”
party hereto.

exercise any right to set off or apply any deposits of any kind, or any other
obligations owing by it to or for the order of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, against any Obligations under Lender Derivative Contracts (“Lender Derivative
Obligations”) or any other amounts secured by Liens on Collateral;
provided that nothing contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement

termination date in respect of any Lender Derivative Contracts, or to undertake
payment or close-out netting or to otherwise setoff trades or transactions then
existing under such Lender Derivative Contracts;
  (b)           it
will not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent,  take any judicial or other action against the Company or any

any Lender Derivative Obligations, of the type that would invoke the application
of the “security first” rule contained in Section 726 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure or any subsequent replacement statutory provision;
  (c)           it
will not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (x)

the Issuing Lender and each Lender Derivative Provider, from any and all losses,
expenses and damages (including attorneys’ fees and costs) it shall suffer or
incur by reason of such setoff or other action, including losses, expenses and
damages (including attorneys’ fees and costs) caused by or resulting from the
release, loss or waiver of any Collateral or any Lien thereon securing
Obligations, or the unenforceability of any Security Document or Loan Document
or any assertions that any Collateral or Lien securing Obligations thereon was
released, lost or waived.

AGENT
  10.01 
    Appointment and Authority .  Each
of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative
Agent to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of
this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Lender, and neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall
have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
  10.02    
 Rights as a Lender .  The
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context
otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not
the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to
the Lenders.
  10.03  
   Exculpatory Provisions .  The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
  (a)           shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;
  (b)           shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or
by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the
other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel,
may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable law; and
  (c)           shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have
any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or
any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
  The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02and 11.01) or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a Lender or the Issuing
Lender.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of
any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or
in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or
therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition

  Reliance by Administrative Agent .  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any
statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made
by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms
must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the
making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
  10.05  
  Delegation of Duties .  The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any
one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to
any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and
any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent.
  10.06   
  Resignation of Administrative Agent .  The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such
notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank
with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders
and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to
be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or
to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
Section
10.06.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section
10.06).  The fees payable by the Company to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  After
the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X
and Section
11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

  10.07    
 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders .  Each Lender and
the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement.  Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that
it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

Claim .  In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on
the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise:
  (a)           to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, the LC Obligation and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and
the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under
Section 2.07,
Section
2.08 or Section
11.04(a)) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
  (b)           to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing
Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent

and Liens .  The
Issuing Lender, each Lender (including in its capacity as a Lender Derivative
Provider), and each other Lender Derivative Provider, by its acceptance of the
benefits of the Liens created by the Security Documents, hereby authorize and
instruct the Administrative Agent to release any Collateral that is permitted to
be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, upon written
request of the Company certifying the consummation of such sale or the
satisfaction of the conditions to such release, accompanied by such supporting
documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and each
Lender, Issuing Lender and Lender Derivative Provider hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Company, at the Company’s
sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements,

of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata
Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall
become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of

of this Agreement; provided that such

consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in Section
11.01that

Sections
3.01,3.03, and
3.07to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section
11.06(b).  To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section
11.08as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.12as

Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Sections
3.01 and 3.03than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent.  A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section
3.01unless
the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section
3.01(e)as
though it were a Lender.

Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to

containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to
any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be
made by reference relating to Parent, the Company or any Guarantor and their

any of its Subsidiaries.  Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.
  11.08  
   Right of Set-off . Subject to Section
9.04, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, the Issuing Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby

consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the
Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Company or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the
Company or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of
the Company or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Lender different from the branch
or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness provided, that
in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff,
all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative
Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.15(c) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting
Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  The rights of each Lender, the
Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.08are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may
have.  Each Lender and the Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Company
and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application.

  11.09  
   Interest. It
is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with applicable usury laws, if
any; accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Notes or in any of the other Loan Documents securing the payment
hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Agreement, the Notes
or such other Loan Documents require or permit the payment, taking, reserving,
receiving, collection, or charging of any sums constituting interest under
applicable laws which exceed the maximum amount permitted by such
laws.  If any such excess interest is called for, contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved, or received in connection with the Loans evidenced by
the Notes or in any of the Loan Documents securing the payment thereof or
otherwise relating thereto, or in any communication by the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Lender or the Lenders or any other Person to the Company or any
other Person, or in the event all or part of the principal or interest thereof
shall be prepaid or accelerated, so that under any of such circumstances or
under any other circumstance whatsoever the amount of interest contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved, or received on the amount of principal actually
outstanding from time to time under the Notes or any other Loan Document shall
exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable usury laws, then
in any such event it is agreed as follows:  (i) the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and control, (ii) neither any Company nor any other
Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of the Notes or any Obligation
shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent such
interest is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable
usury laws, (iii) any such excess which is or has been received notwithstanding
this paragraph shall be credited against the then unpaid principal balance of
the Notes or other Obligations, as applicable, or, if the Notes or other
Obligations, as applicable, have been or would be paid in full, refunded to the
Company, and (iv) the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents securing the payment thereof and otherwise relating thereto, and any
communication to the Company, shall immediately be deemed reformed and such
excess interest reduced, without the necessity of executing any other document,
to the maximum lawful rate allowed under applicable laws as now or hereafter
construed by courts having jurisdiction hereof or thereof.  Without
limiting the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of the interest contracted
for, charged, collected, taken, reserved, or received in connection with the
Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document which are made for the purpose
of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate shall be made
to the extent permitted by applicable laws by amortizing, prorating, allocating
and spreading during the period of the full term of the Loans or other
Obligations, as applicable, including all prior and subsequent renewals and
extensions, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, taken, collected,
reserved, or received.  The terms of this paragraph shall be deemed to
be incorporated in every document and communication relating to the Notes, the
Loans or any other Loan Document.
  11.10 
    Indemnity and Subrogation .  In
addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as any Guarantor may
have under applicable law, the Company agrees that in the event a payment shall
be made by any Guarantor under a Guaranty in respect of a Loan to the Company
the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment
and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such
payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment subject to the
provisions of the Guaranty executed by such Guarantor. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of any Guarantor under
this Section
11.10 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation
under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in
full of the Obligations, and no payments may be made in respect of such rights
of indemnity, contribution or subrogation until all the Obligations have been
paid in full and all Commitments have expired. No failure on the part of the
Company to make the payments required by this Section
11.10 (or
any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any
respect limit the obligations and liability of any Guarantor with respect to any
Guaranty, and Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the
obligation of such Guarantor under each such Guaranty in accordance
therewith.

listed on Schedule

any obligations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries which arise under any
such Derivative Contract; provided that if such
Lender or Affiliate ceases to be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender such
Derivative Contract obligations shall be secured pari passu with the
Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents  but only to the extent such Derivative Contract obligations
arise under Derivative Contracts (including the Derivative Contracts listed on
Schedule
6.21) that are entered into at the time such counterparty was a Lender
hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender hereunder.
  (b)           Such
counterparty shall have no voting rights under any Loan Documents as a result of
the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Derivative
Contract.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Person ceases to be a Lender
hereunder if (i) pursuant to an assignment, such Person ceases to have any
Commitment, Loans or LC Obligation hereunder or (ii) the Commitments of all of
the Lenders hereunder have been terminated and all principal, interest and other
amounts outstanding under this Agreement have been paid in full in cash (whether
as a result of repayment at maturity, prepayment in connection with the
refinancing of this Agreement or otherwise).
  (c)           If
the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full, including all Obligations
arising under Lender Derivative Contracts, all Commitments of the Lenders have
terminated and are no longer in effect, no Letters of Credit remain outstanding,
and no Lender Derivative Contracts remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered
such instruments of satisfaction and reassignment as may be appropriate in order
to release all liens and security interests created by the Security Instruments;
provided, however, that in lieu of terminating and repaying any such Obligations
arising under any Lender Derivative Contracts with any Lender Derivative
Provider, the Company may provide substitute credit support under a standard
form ISDA Credit Support Annex or other credit support documents acceptable to
such Lender Derivative Provider, to cover its then current exposure under such
Lender Derivative Contract and such Lender Derivative Provider shall provide
written notice to the Administrative Agent to the effect that such substitute
credit support has been provided to it and that such Lender Derivative Provider
no longer claims any right, title or interest in any collateral security arising
under the Loan Documents to secure any obligations or indebtedness of Company or
any of its Subsidiaries arising under or related to such Lender Derivative
Contract.
  11.12  
   Renewal and
Continuation of Existing Indebtedness.
  (a)           All
Obligations under the Notes are in renewal, extension and modification, but not
novation or discharge of the “Obligations” as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement.  All liens and security interests under the Security
Documents are in renewal, amendment and extension of the Liens created under the
Existing Credit Agreement and “Security Documents” executed in connection
therewith.
  (b)           The
Company shall pay to each Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement within
thirty (30) days of receipt of written request of such Lender (which request
shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for requesting such amounts)
such amount or amounts as shall be due pursuant to Section
3.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement which are attributed to prepayment
of LIBOR Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement being prepaid from the
proceeds of the initial funding of Loans hereunder.

irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, after giving reasonable prior
notice to the Company, to debit any deposit account of the Company with the

all such deposit accounts does not exceed such fee or other cost or
expense.  If there are insufficient funds in such deposit accounts to
cover the amount of the fee or other cost or expense then due, such debits will
be reversed (in whole or in part, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion)
and such amount not debited shall be deemed to be unpaid.  No such
debit under this Section shall be deemed a set-off.

Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of

indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents.
  11.18 
    Entire Agreement .  This
Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement
and understanding among the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings

thereof. The Existing Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety
by this Agreement and upon the effectiveness hereof, all terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall supersede the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit
Agreement.
