Effective Date (as defined below) as follows:

          (a) The definition of “Borrowing Base” in Article 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by renumbering the current sub-clause (xv) as sub-clause “(xvi)” and inserting the following new
sub-clause (xv):

          “(xv) amounts outstanding under the PA Loan that are not supported by Cash or Cash Equivalents
deposited into the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 11.5, minus”

          (b) Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to
the end thereof:

     “Amounts deposited into the Cash Collateral Account by the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 11.5 may be invested by the Borrowers in Cash, Cash Equivalents or any debt
securities, including, without limitation, the purchase of Convertible Senior Subordinated
Notes; provided, however, that (a) any such purchase of Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes by the Borrowers shall not be considered an “Investment” hereunder,
(b) Section 10.4 of this Agreement shall apply to any Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes purchased pursuant to this Section 11.5 as if such Convertible
Senior Subordinated

 

 

Notes were “Pledged Securities”, and (c) if the Borrowers purchase
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to this Section 11.5, then the
Borrowers will do all such things as are reasonably necessary to perfect the Administrative
Agent’s lien in such Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes including, without limitation,
either (i) delivering the originals of the certificated securities to the Administrative
Agent or (ii) entering into a securities account control agreement with respect to such
securities in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.”

          (c) Schedule 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding [REDACTED] to the list of

          (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of the Borrowers, each of the Guarantors and each of the

at or prior to 5:00pm (New York City time) on November 24, 2009) an amount equal to 0.125% of each
such consenting Lender’s Commitment (the “Amendment Fee”).

     4. Representations and Warranties. Each Credit Party represents and warrants that:

          (a) after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in the

the beds of any public streets, public roads or public waterways in front of or adjoining
(but not located on) such land; (ii) any easements, licenses or rights-of-way appurtenant to

the Acquiror’s or such transferee’s ownership, use and operation of the Contributed Assets
(the “Ingress/Egress Easement”).

addressed to the Parent, which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parent.
Any certificate representing such Units will bear a restrictive legend to the foregoing effects.
In the event that the Contributor is entitled to any fractional Units based upon the calculation of

the dollar amount of Subordinated Units set forth in Section 1.6(b) shall be reduced
by the amount owing by Contributor under this Section 1.7(b). If any such items
cannot accurately be apportioned at the Closing or prior thereto, or if it is later

Date or the date on which the apportionment error is discovered, as applicable, but in no

discretion during the remaining number of days (up to 120 days) included in the Option
Period. If, in the first instance, the Guarantor does not elect to pursue the Reacquisition
during and prior to the expiration of the first 60 days of the Option Period, it shall
provide written notice of such determination to Mr. Martin (the “Guarantor

24

 

Refusal Notice”). Upon receipt of the Guarantor Refusal Notice from the Guarantor, or
upon the expiration of the first 60 days of the Option Period coupled with the failure of
the Guarantor either to have elected to pursue the Reacquisition (pursuant to the notice
procedures specified in clause (c) below) or delivered the Guarantor Refusal Notice to Mr.
Martin, then Mr. Martin, in the second instance, will be vested with the same option to
elect to effect the Reacquisition during the remaining number of days (up to 120 days)
included in the Option Period. In the event that the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as
applicable, does not timely elect to exercise its respective right to pursue the
Reacquisition during and prior to the expiration of the Option Period pursuant to the
delivery of the Option Exercise Notice specified in clause (c) below, or upon the timely
election to pursue the Reacquisition, such electing party is then unable to or does not
consummate the Reacquisition strictly in accordance with the time periods set forth in this
Section 4.2, then all such option and Reacquisition rights will automatically cease
to exist and be of no further force or effect except with respect to remedies relating to a
default by such party after its exercise of the option, which remedies shall survive. The
remaining provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be interpreted on a basis that is
consistent with the intentions of this clause (a).

     (b) Any Reacquisition shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions, which must be true on the date of the notice of exercise of such option by
either the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, under this Section 4.2 and on the
closing date of the Reacquisition:

     (i) the Reacquisition must be made in compliance with the terms of the Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Parent, as then amended;

     (ii) the Reacquisition must result, on a proforma basis, in an increase in the
Parent’s anticipated distributable cash flow (calculated in accordance with the
Parent’s customary practices) per outstanding limited partnership unit of the Parent
during the 12 month period beginning at the anticipated closing of the Reacquisition
when compared to the Parent’s anticipated distributable cash flow (calculated in
accordance with the Parent’s customary practices) per outstanding limited
partnership unit of the Parent during the same 12 month period assuming that no
Reacquisition will have occurred;

     (iii) the Reacquisition shall not result in default under any Contract related
to Indebtedness of the Parent or the Acquiror; and

     (iv) Reacquisition must be at fair market value.

     (c) Any election by the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, to effect the
Reacquisition must be effected by written notice submitted to the Parent and the Acquiror
during and prior to the expiration of the Option Period (the “Option Exercise Notice”). The
applicable party that elects to effect the Reacquisition (either the Guarantor or Mr.
Martin) shall also provide a courtesy copy of such Option Exercise Notice to the Contributor
(unless the Contributor is the party exercising the option) and to either the

25

 

Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, and to Mr. John Gaylord, Chairman of the
Conflicts Committee of Parent. Any Option Notice must (i) state the Guarantor’s or Mr.
Martin’s, as applicable, assertion of the fair market value of the Contributed Assets as of
the anticipated closing date of the Reacquisition, and (ii) specify the form and dollar
amount of consideration to be offered by the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, to the
Parent and the Acquiror in connection with the Reacquisition, which consideration must
equate to such fair market value and may consist of cash, any units of the Parent held by
the Guarantor or its subsidiaries or by Mr. Martin, as applicable, or other cash equivalents
(provided, however, that any consideration other than cash shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Parent).

     (d) During the 120 day period following the Parent’s receipt of the Option Exercise
Notice from the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, the Parent and the Guarantor, the
Contributor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, shall then negotiate in good faith in an effort to
mutually agree upon the fair market value of the Contributed Assets on the anticipated
closing date of the Reacquisition. If the parties are unable to agree on a value, such
period may be extended by mutual consent for a series of 30-day periods wherein the parties
agree to continue to attempt, in good faith, to determine the fair market value. When one
or both parties elect end the discussions at the expiration of the initial 120-day period or
at the end of any respective 30-day extension, the determination of fair market value shall
be determined using the method identified in (e) below.

     (e) In the event that the Parent and the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, are
unable to reach a mutual agreement within the 120-day period referenced in (d) above as to
the fair market value of the Contributed Assets on the anticipated closing date of the
Reacquisition, then the determination of such fair market value shall be submitted to three
independent valuation experts (the “Appraisers”) with documented experience in valuing
assets similar to the Contributed Assets as follows: (i) one Appraiser shall be selected by
the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, (ii) one Appraiser shall be selected by the
Parent, and (iii) one Appraiser shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the Appraisers
selected by the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, and the Parent. The Appraisers
selected by the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, and the Parent shall be selected
within ten days following the commencement of the process contemplated by this clause (d)
and the third Appraiser shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the other two
Appraisers within ten days following their selection. Following the selection of the third
Appraiser in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the three selected Appraisers shall
have 120 days to determine the agreed upon fair market value of the Contributed Assets as of
the anticipated closing date of the Reacquisition, an agreement by any two of the Appraisers
as to a fair market value shall be determinative.

     (f) Any determination as to fair market value of the Contributed Assets as of the
anticipated closing date of the Reacquisition pursuant to the procedures specified in
clauses (b) or (c) above, as applicable, shall be binding upon the Parent, the Acquiror, the
Contributor and the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable, for all purposes.

26

 

     (g) Upon the determination of the fair market value of the Contributed Assets as of the
anticipated closing date of the Reacquisition (whether through mutual agreement of the
parties or by the Appraisers), the Parent and the Guarantor or Mr. Martin, as applicable,
shall negotiate in good faith the final documentation relating to the Reacquisition and
close the Reacquisition within 180 days following the determination of the fair market value
of the Contributed Assets as noted above.

     (h) Each of the parties hereto acknowledge that the other parties would be irreparably
damaged in the event that any of the provisions of this Section 4.2 were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 4.2 by
other parties hereto without the necessity of proving actual damages or of the posting of
any bond, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Section 4.2, which
rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy to which the parties hereto
be entitled hereunder or at Law or equity.

     4.3 Cooperation by the Parties. 

     (a) Access to Records. The parties acknowledge and agree that after the
Closing, the Guarantor and the Contributor or their respective successors may need access to
information or documents in the control or possession of the Parent and the Acquiror for the
purpose of preparing or filing Tax Returns. The Parent and the Acquiror shall reasonably
cooperate in connection with, and, during normal business hours, make available for
inspection and copying by, the Guarantor and the Contributor or their respective its
successors or representatives, upon prior written request and at their sole cost and
expense, such records and files of the Guarantor or the Contributor included in the
Contributed Assets reasonably necessary to facilitate the purposes of the preceding
sentence; provided, however, that the Parent and the Acquiror shall be entitled to require
the Guarantor and the Contributor, its successors and representatives to execute and deliver
reasonable confidentiality agreements in favor of the Acquiror with respect to such records
and files and any other information delivered to such Persons pursuant to this
Section 4.3(a).

     (b) Cooperation with Respect to Examinations and Controversies. The Parent,
the Acquiror, the Guarantor and the Contributor shall use all reasonable efforts to
cooperate with each other and their respective representatives, in a prompt and timely
manner, in conjunction with any inquiry, audit, examination, investigation, dispute or
litigation involving any Tax Return (collectively, the “Tax Disputes”) relating to the
Contributed Assets and relating to any federal, state or local Taxes (i) filed or required
to be filed by or for the Guarantor or the Contributor for any taxable period beginning
before the Closing Date, or (ii) filed or required to be filed by or for the Parent or the
Acquiror for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the Contributor shall retain control of any Tax Dispute to the extent
such Tax Dispute arises out of or is related to events or circumstances prior to the
Closing, and the Acquiror shall retain control of any Tax Dispute to the extent such Tax
Dispute arises out of or is related to events or circumstances after the Closing. Such

27

 

cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, making available to one another
during normal business hours, and within ten days of any reasonable request therefor, all
books, records and information, and the assistance of all officers and employees, reasonably
required in connection with any Tax inquiry, audit, examination, investigation, dispute,
litigation or any other matter. The parties hereto agree to conduct any investigation or
examination hereunder without causing any material interference or disruption of the
operations of the business of any other party hereto or their Affiliates. The Contributor
will retain, until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation (including any
extensions thereof) copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records
relating to Taxes for all taxable years or periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior
to the Closing Date.

     (c) Cooperation Regarding Environmental Compliance. Contributor shall prepare,
at its cost, or, if already prepared, shall reasonably cooperate with Acquiror and Parent to
provide Acquiror with copies of existing environmental and related reports and other
relevant information, studies and surveys reasonably within Contributor’s possession or
prepared on behalf of or provided to Contributor relating to each of the following:

     (i) Its evaluation (together with a copy of any report) of the steps taken in
assessing the applicability of the new EPA Greenhouse Gas Rule;

     (ii) A report detailing the size and capability of each heater and boiler and
emissions from each heater and boiler;

     (iii) A report and a copy of any protocols regarding use of flares and flaring
events;

     (iv) An evaluation of any Leak Detection and Repair programs employed at the
refinery and written protocols for conducting the program (if an LDAR is not in
place, then a time-table acceptable to Acquiror by which one will be put in place);

     (v) An assessment of the amount of benzene and benzene waste produced or
resulting from refinery operations including documentation of the proper disposal of
such waste;

     (vi) Information regarding actions taken or to be taken in response to findings
in the Seepage Report;

28

 

     (vii) Confirmation that it has notified or spoken with and a detailed summary
of the communications with ADEQ regarding the transfer of perunits for operation of
the Contributed Assets.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

     5.1 Indemnification by the Contributor and the Guarantor.

     Solely for the purpose of indemnification under this Section 5.1, the representations
and warranties of the Contributor and the Guarantor in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
made without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers. Subject to Section
5.8, from and after the Closing Date, the Contributor and Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby
agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Acquiror and the Parent and their respective
subsidiaries, managers, directors, officers, members, shareholders, employees and agents (the
“Acquiror Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall reimburse the Acquiror Indemnitees for, any and
all Losses, including without limitation any Losses arising out of the strict liability of any
Person, paid, imposed on or incurred by the Acquiror Indemnitees, directly or indirectly, resulting
from, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to and with respect to any of, or any
allegation of the following:

     (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty on the part of the
Contributor or the Guarantor under this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) or any
Related Agreement furnished or to be furnished to the Acquiror by the Contributor or the
Guarantor;

     (b) any non-fulfillment of any indemnity, covenant or agreement on the part of the
Contributor or the Guarantor under this Agreement or any Related Agreement;

     (c) the Pre-Closing Liabilities;

     (d) any violation of any Environmental Law and the implementation of those or similar
laws, rules or regulations at the state and local level with respect to matters, occurrences
or incidents arising or alleged to have arisen prior to the date of Closing with respect or
related to the Contributed Assets; and

     (e) any violation of any Environmental Law and the implementation of those or similar
laws, rules or regulations at the state and local level with respect to matters, occurrences
or incidents arising or alleged to have arisen at any time or from time to time with respect
or related to the Retained Assets.

     It shall not be necessary for Losses to be suffered as a result of or in connection with
actions taken, made or threatened by any claimant or Governmental or Regulatory Authority for such
Losses to be indemnifiable under this Article V.

     5.2 Indemnification by the Acquiror.

29

 

     Solely for the purpose of indemnification under this Section 5.2, the representations
and warranties of the Acquiror and the Parent in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made
without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers. Subject to Section 5.8,
from and after the Closing Date, the Acquiror and the Parent, jointly and severally, hereby agree
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Guarantor and the Contributor and their respective
subsidiaries, managers, directors, officers, members, shareholders, employees and agents (the
“Contributor Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall reimburse the Contributor Indemnitees for,
any and all Losses, including without limitation any Losses arising out of the strict liability of
any Person, paid, imposed on or incurred by the Contributor Indemnitees, directly or indirectly,
resulting from, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to and with respect to any of, or
any allegation of the following:

     (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty on the part of the
Parent or the Acquiror under this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) or any
Related Agreement furnished or to be furnished to the Contributor by the Acquiror;

     (b) any non-fulfillment of any indemnity, covenant or agreement on the part of the
Parent or the Acquiror under this Agreement or any Related Agreements; and

     (c) the Post-Closing Liabilities; and

     (d) any violation of any Environmental Law and the implementation of those or similar
laws, rules or regulations at the state and local level with respect to matters, occurrences
or incidents initially arising or alleged to have arisen after the date of Closing with
respect or related to the Contributed Assets.

     5.3 Procedures for Indemnification.

     (a) If there occurs an event that either party asserts is an indemnifiable event
pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the party seeking indemnification (the
“Indemnitee”) shall promptly provide notice (the “Notice of Claim”) to the other party or
parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”). Providing the
Notice of Claim shall be a condition precedent to any Liability of the Indemnifying Party
hereunder, and the failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder but only if and to the extent that such
failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In case any such action
shall be brought against any Indemnitee and it shall provide a Notice of Claim to the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and, after notice from the
Indemnifying Party to such Indemnitee of such election so to assume the defense thereof, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee hereunder for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee,
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation;
provided, however, that if the Indemnitee reasonably believes that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party cannot represent both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party

30

 

because such representation would be reasonably likely to result in a conflict of
interest, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party, such action by all appropriate proceedings. The Indemnitee
agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense
against any such asserted liability. In any event, the Indemnitee shall have the right to
participate at its own expense in the defense of such asserted liability. No Indemnifying
Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the written
consent of each Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the release of the Indemnitee from
all Liability in respect to such claim or litigation or that does not solely require the
payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Party agrees to
afford the Indemnitee and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate
in, conferences with all Persons, including any Governmental or Regulatory Authority,
asserting any Claim against the Indemnitee or conferences with representatives of or counsel
for such Persons. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party, without the written consent of
the Indemnitee, settle any Claim on terms that provide for (i) a criminal sanction against
the Indemnitee or (ii) injunctive relief affecting the Indemnitee.

     (b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 20 calendar
days (or such shorter period as may be appropriate under the circumstances) to contest its
indemnification obligation with respect to such claim, or the amount thereof, by written
notice to the Indemnitee (the “Contest Notice”); provided, however, that if, at the time a
Notice of Claim is submitted to the Indemnifying Party the amount of the Loss in respect
thereof has not yet been determined, such 20 day period in respect of, but only in respect
of the amount of the Loss, shall not commence until a further written notice (the “Notice of
Liability”) has been sent or delivered by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party setting
forth the amount of the Loss incurred by the Indemnitee that was the subject of the earlier
Notice of Claim. Such Contest Notice shall specify the reasons or bases for the objection
of the Indemnifying Party to the claim, and if the objection relates to the amount of the
Loss asserted, the amount, if any, that the Indemnifying Party believes is due the
Indemnitee, and any undisputed amount shall be promptly paid over to the Indemnitee. If no
such Contest Notice is given within such 20 day period, the obligation of the Indemnifying
Party to pay the Indemnitee the amount of the Loss set forth in the Notice of Claim, or
subsequent Notice of Liability, shall be deemed established and accepted by the Indemnifying
Party.

     (c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim or, having
assumed the defense and settlement of such Claim, fails reasonably to contest such Claim in
good faith, the Indemnitee, without waiving its right to indemnification, may assume, at the
cost of the Indemnifying Party, the defense and settlement of such Claim; provided, however,
that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to join in the defense and settlement of
such Claim and to employ counsel at its own expense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall
cooperate with the Indemnitee in the defense and settlement of such Claim in any manner
reasonably requested by the Indemnitee and (iii) the Indemnitee shall not settle such Claim
without soliciting the views of the Indemnifying Party and giving them due consideration.

31

 

     (d) The Indemnifying Party shall make any payment required to be made under this
Article in cash and on demand. Any payments required to be paid by an Indemnifying Party
under this Article that are not paid within five business days of the date on which such
obligation becomes final shall thereafter be deemed delinquent, and the Indemnifying Party
shall pay to the Indemnitee, immediately upon demand, interest at the rate of 10% per annum,
not to exceed the maximum nonusurious rate allowed by applicable Law, from the date such
payment becomes delinquent to the date of payment of such delinquent sums, which interest
shall be considered to be Losses of the Indemnitee.

     5.4 Survival.

     (a) The liability of the Contributor and the Guarantor for their indemnification
obligations arising under Section 5.1 shall be limited to claims for which an
Acquiror Indemnitee delivers written notice to the Contributor or the Guarantor on or before
the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any indemnification
obligation relating to (i) Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.19 and 6.13
and any claims with respect to title to the Contributed Assets and Pre-Closing Liabilities
shall not be limited as to time, (ii) Section 2.10 and shall be limited to claims
for which an Acquiror Indemnitee delivers written notice to the Contributor or the Guarantor
on or before the 30 month anniversary date of the Closing Date, and (iii) the
non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement shall be limited to claims for which an
Acquiror Indemnitee delivers written notice to the Contributor or the Guarantor on or before
the date at which performance of the covenant is no longer required.

     (b) The liability of the Parent and the Acquiror for their indemnification obligations
arising under Section 5.2 shall be limited to claims for which a Contributor
Indemnitee delivers written notice to the Parent or the Acquiror on or before the 12 month
anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any indemnification obligation
relating to (i) Post-Closing Liabilities and Sections 3.2, 3.3, and
6.13 shall not be limited as to time, and (ii) the non-fulfillment of any covenant
or agreement shall be limited to claims for which an Contributor Indemnitee delivers written
notice to the Parent or the Acquiror on or before the date at which performance of the
covenant is no longer required.

     (c) All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive for the
applicable period required for their performance.

     5.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

     No Indemnifying Party hereto shall have any liability with respect to, or obligation to
indemnify for, Losses under Article V hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses for
which such Indemnifying Party would, but for the provisions of this Section 5.5, be liable
exceeds, on an aggregate basis, $500,000, it being agreed that in such event the Indemnifying
Party’s obligations under Article V hereof will take such threshold into account as a
deductible and the Indemnitee will be entitled to receive only amount of such Losses in excess of
such threshold; provided, however, that such threshold shall not apply to losses related to title
to the Contributed

32

 

Assets, the Pre-Closing Liabilities, the Post-Closing Liabilities, Taxes or any of the matters
described in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.10, 2.19, 3.2,
3.3, 5.1(b), 5.2(b) and 6.13 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum indemnification liability of the Contributor and the
Guarantor, on the one hand, and of the Parent and the Acquiror, on the other hand, shall not exceed
$3,000,000; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any breaches asserted with
respect to Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.19, 3.2 or 3.3 or any
claims with respect to title to the Contributed Assets, the Pre-Closing Liabilities or the
Post-Closing Liabilities, in which case the maximum indemnification liability of the Contributor
and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Acquiror, on the other hand, shall not
exceed $45,000,000. The Parties confirm that the indemnities and their terms contained herein are
not subject to or qualified by limitations and qualifications of the indemnities set forth in the
Omnibus Agreement.

     5.6 Inconsistent Provisions.

     The provisions of this Article shall govern and control over any inconsistent provisions of
this Agreement or the Related Agreements.

     5.7 Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge.

     The right to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article will not be
affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of
being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy
or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation set forth
in this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

     5.8 SCOPE AND EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY.

          THE INDEMNITIES HEREIN ARE INDEPENDENT OF, AND WILL NOT BE LIMITED BY, EACH OTHER OR THE
COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

          THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE
PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS
NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE
OF THE SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, COMPARATIVE, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY
OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. WHILE THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH
HEREIN MAY RESULT IN THE INDEMNIFICATION OF A PARTY FOR ITS SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE, IN NO EVENT WILL
THESE INDEMNITIES REQUIRE ONE PARTY TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND OR HOLD THE OTHER PARTY HARMLESS FOR SUCH
OTHER PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, ITS WANTON AND WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD.
