      SCOPE
OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

       

      2.1           Transportation of Carbon
Dioxide. Subject to all of the terms, conditions, and limitations of this
Agreement, each Day during the term hereof Denbury shall have the right to
tender to Genesis SPE at the Receipt Points set forth in Exhibit B (including
future Receipt Points added pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1, the “Receipt Points”) for
transportation hereunder any volume of Carbon Dioxide up to the Daily Maximum
Quantity.  Denbury shall maintain ownership of the Carbon Dioxide
while in the Pipeline (the “Inventory”).

       

      2.2           Redelivery of Carbon
Dioxide. Subject to all of the terms, conditions, and limitations of this
Agreement, each Day during the term hereof Genesis SPE shall redeliver to
Denbury, at the Delivery Points set forth in Exhibit C (including
future Delivery Points added pursuant to terms of Section 5.1, the “Delivery Points”),
the volume of Carbon Dioxide delivered by Denbury to Genesis SPE at the Receipt
Points on such Day, as such volumes may be adjusted for gains or reductions due
to Carbon Dioxide added, lost or unaccounted for in the Pipeline and any other
gain, loss or shrinkage factor generally applicable from time to time to the
Pipeline.  Any losses of Carbon Dioxide from the Pipeline which occur
as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Genesis SPE, shall
be accounted for in accordance with Section 8.3 below.

       

      2.3           Operation of the
Pipeline. Genesis SPE will at all times act as a prudent operator and, at
its sole cost and expense, control, operate and maintain, preserve and keep in
good repair, working order and condition all improvements, machinery, equipment,
pipelines, tanks, metering facilities, fixtures and other personal property and
equipment of every kind and nature now or hereafter required in connection with
operation of the Pipeline, and promptly make all necessary and proper repairs,
renewals, replacements and substitutions, subject to the rights of Denbury set
forth in Section 8.1 below.  Furthermore, Genesis SPE will promptly
notify Denbury of any natural or artificial condition that does or reasonably
could be expected to Materially limit or impede the operation of the Pipeline or
to Materially decrease the amount of Carbon Dioxide that Denbury is able to ship
through the Pipeline.

      Denbury
shall at all times during the Term be permitted to observe, inspect and monitor
Genesis SPE’s operation of the Pipeline to ensure Genesis SPE’s compliance with
its obligations under this Agreement and its ability to perform transportation
services in accordance with all applicable regulatory and industry accepted
standards.  Genesis SPE shall at all times during the Term be
permitted to observe, inspect and monitor Denbury’s operation of the metering
facilities at the Jackson Dome Field to ensure Denbury’s compliance with its
obligations under this Agreement.

       

      2.4           Entire Capacity.

       

      (a)           Subject
to the terms of Sections 2.6(b) and 14.10, in consideration of Denbury’s
agreement to pay the Transportation Fee under Section 3.1 during the Initial
Term and any Renewal Terms (as such terms are defined under Section 4.2) Denbury
shall have the sole and exclusive right to the entire capacity of the Pipeline
to transport Carbon Dioxide, or any other substance.  Subject to the
terms of Sections 2.6(b) and 14.10, no other person, including Genesis SPE
itself, shall have the right to transport Carbon Dioxide, or any other
substance, through the Pipeline during the Term without Denbury’s consent, which
can be given or withheld in its sole discretion.

       

      (b)           If
Denbury’s sole and exclusive right (subject to Sections 2.6(b) and 14.10) to use
the entire capacity of the Pipeline to transport Carbon Dioxide, or any other
substance (the “Exclusive Right”)
under the terms of this Agreement is reasonably believed by Denbury to be
threatened due to (a) an application of, or a change in, federal law or
regulations or interpretation thereof, applicable to Carbon Dioxide pipelines or
their operation or ownership, (b) an application of, or a change in, law or
regulations or  interpretation thereof, of any state in which the
Pipeline, or any pipeline connected thereto, is located which is similarly
applicable, or (c) assertion by a third party of an actual or alleged right to
ship Carbon Dioxide on any part of the Pipeline, or any pipeline connected
thereto, then on request of Denbury, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
faith to modify and will modify the terms of this Agreement and all documents
collateral hereto in order to assure that Denbury will continue to have the
Exclusive Right, on terms substantially the same as those contained in Section
2.4(a) hereinabove.

       

      (c)           Consistent
with Denbury’s Exclusive Right provided in Section 2.4(a) above, Genesis SPE
agrees to own and operate the Pipeline and conduct its business as a private
carrier and not as a common carrier, and that neither will it operate the
Pipeline for the purpose of transporting Carbon Dioxide or any other substance
to or for the public for compensation, nor will it seek certification as a
public utility or public service corporation under Mississippi law or other
Applicable Laws.

       

      2.5           Anthropogenic Carbon
Dioxide.  If at any time during the Term Denbury desires to
tender Material amounts (determined in reference to the Pipeline capacity
generally) of Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide to Genesis SPE at the Receipt Points
(specified on Exhibit
B, as revised) for shipping, Denbury shall first notify Genesis SPE of
such desire and thereafter the parties shall negotiate in good faith to identify
mutually acceptable terms under which such Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide may be
tendered or shipped; provided however, in no event
shall Denbury be prohibited from transporting Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide.

      2.6           Agreement to Remain
Shipper.  During the Initial Term or any Renewal Term(s) of
this Agreement: 

       

      (a)           During
any period in which Denbury or any of its affiliates is the direct or indirect
provider of Carbon Dioxide (including through the ownership of reserves in place
or the acquisition, lease or other procurement arrangement relating to natural
or anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide) to any of its oil and gas operations located in
the Subject Area on which enhanced oil recovery operations using Carbon Dioxide
are being conducted, and there is sufficient delivery capacity on the Pipeline,
Denbury will (and will cause its affiliates and others it controls, including by
operating agreement or otherwise, to) use the Pipeline to transport all of such
Carbon Dioxide.  To the extent that (i) there is not sufficient
delivery capacity on the Pipeline for the volumes of such Carbon Dioxide (such
volumes of Carbon Dioxide in excess of such available capacity, the “Excess Volumes”); or
(ii) the cost of transporting such Carbon Dioxide on the Pipeline is materially
higher than the cost of other transportation alternatives (such volumes of
Carbon Dioxide that, if transported on the Pipeline, would result in such
materially higher transportation cost to Denbury, the “Uneconomic Volumes”),
then Denbury shall be permitted to transport the Excess Volumes and/or the
Uneconomic Volumes by means other than the Pipeline.

       

      (b)           Denbury
will deliver to Genesis SPE, as soon as reasonably practicable, advanced written
notice of any material changes to its planned use of the Pipeline, and if
Denbury reasonably determines in good faith that it no longer intends to
transport any amounts of Carbon Dioxide through the Pipeline and provides
Genesis SPE with written notification of such intention, which specifies a date
following which Denbury will no longer transport Carbon Dioxide through the
Pipeline (the “Abandonment Date” and
the “Abandonment
Notice”), then, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, Genesis SPE shall be permitted at any time after both Genesis
SPE’s receipt of the Abandonment Notice and the arrival of the Abandonment Date
to (i) terminate this Agreement, the Special Representations and Covenants
Agreement dated as of the Effective Date (“SRCA”) by and between Denbury,
Genesis Holdings and Genesis MLP and the ROFR (as such term is defined in Article XV) by and
between Denbury, Genesis Holdings and Genesis SPE without any further
obligations, costs or penalties, effective upon written notice of termination to
Denbury, (ii) accept Carbon Dioxide or any other substance for transport through
the Pipeline from any third party, (iii) make any such alterations or
modifications as may be required to the Pipeline to permit the transportation of
oil, natural gas or any other substance as determined by Genesis SPE, and (iv)
sell or otherwise dispose of the Pipeline (not subject to the ROFR or the
restrictions on transfer contained herein). Denbury shall be permitted at any
time after both Genesis SPE’s receipt of the Abandonment Notice and the arrival
of the Abandonment Date to terminate this Agreement, the SRCA and the ROFR
without any further obligations, costs or penalties, effective upon written
notice of termination to Genesis SPE.

to the other provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be effective from the date
hereof and shall continue in force and effect for twenty (20) Contract Years
(the “Initial
Term”).

       

      4.2           Renewal
Terms.  Provided that Denbury is not in default under this
Agreement beyond applicable notice and cure or grace periods as set forth in
this Article IV
at the time of exercise of the Options granted herein, Denbury is granted two
options (the “Options”) to renew
this Agreement on the same terms and conditions hereunder, the first such option
for an additional term of five (5) years (which shall be referred to as the
“First Renewal
Term”) and the second such option for a subsequent renewal period of five
(5) years (which shall be referred to as the “Second Renewal
Term”); the First Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term may be
collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Renewal
Terms”).  The First Renewal Term shall commence on the next Day
after the expiration of the Initial Term and the Second Renewal Term shall
commence on the next Day after the expiration of the First Renewal
Term.  Denbury shall exercise the Options, if at all, by delivering to
Genesis SPE written notice of the exercise of the Options at least six (6)
Months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or the First Renewal Term
(the Initial Term and to the extent they come into existence, the Renewal Terms,
may be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Term”).  

       

      4.3           Default. The
occurrence of one or more of the following matters shall constitute an event of
default (a “default”):  

       

      (a)           by
either party, upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event involving such
party;

       

      (b)           by
either party, upon the failure of such party to make any payment to the other
party as and when due hereunder where such failure continues for thirty (30)
Days after the delivery of written notice by the other party of such failure to
make such payment;

       

      (c)           (i)
by either party, upon the material breach by such party of any other covenant,
agreement, obligation, duty or provision of this Agreement, (ii) by Genesis SPE,
upon the material breach by Genesis Holdings or
Genesis MLP of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by
Genesis Holdings or Genesis MLP under the SRCA, or (iii) by Denbury, upon the

party’s receipt of written notice thereof from the other party; provided, however, that if the
matter which is the subject of the breach cannot by its nature with due
diligence be remedied by such party within said thirty (30) Day period, and such
party shall have prepared a plan for remedying such failure that is reasonably
acceptable to the other party and such party is proceeding with diligence to
implement such plan, such thirty (30) Day period shall be extended by such
additional time period as may be reasonably required to implement such plan,
and, provided further, however, that the remedying of such potential default
shall not affect any right provided hereunder of the other party to terminate
this Agreement if other defaults occur before such potential default has been
remedied, and provided further that the notice and opportunity to cure
provisions of this Section 4.3(c) shall not apply to any of the events of
default under Sections 4.3(a), (b), or (d), and provided further,
however, that demand may be made on Denbury Resources Inc. on the
Guaranty Agreement only if a failure by Denbury to make a payment as and when
due hereunder continues unremedied for thirty (30) Days after the delivery of
written notice by Genesis SPE to Denbury of such failure, but following demand
on the Guaranty Agreement no further notice and opportunity to cure will be
required under the Guaranty Agreement related to such failure by
Denbury;

Genesis SPE, upon the occurrence of event of default by Genesis SPE, Genesis
MLP, or any other Genesis MLP affiliate, under any credit facility, financing
arrangement or other indebtedness for borrowed money to which Genesis SPE,
Genesis MLP or any other Genesis MLP affiliate is a party, co-borrower or
guarantor in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000.

       

      4.4           Remedies Upon
Default. 

       

      (a)           Subject
to the requirements of Section 14.9 below that disputes be resolved in
accordance with the dispute resolution provisions described in Exhibit E hereto,
upon the occurrence of a default by a party and the expiration of any applicable
cure or grace period provided herein with respect thereto, the other party may
exercise any right or remedy it may have at law and/or in equity.

       

      (b)           Upon
the occurrence of a default by Genesis SPE under Sections 4.3(c) or 4.3(d)
above, (and the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period provided
herein with respect thereto), if the event of default Materially decreases the
amount of Carbon Dioxide that Denbury is able to ship through the Pipeline,
Denbury shall have the right to appoint a replacement operator for Genesis SPE
as operator of the Pipeline during the Term; provided that such replacement
operator shall not be Denbury, Denbury Resources Inc., or any of its controlled
subsidiaries other than Genesis MLP or one of its controlled subsidiaries; and
provided further, that upon such replacement, Genesis SPE shall supervise and
monitor the performance of the replacement operator to confirm such replacement
operator’s compliance with the performance obligations of the operator hereunder
(an “Operator
Replacement”).  Further, upon the occurrence of a default by Genesis
SPE under Section 4.3(a), Denbury shall have the right to effect an Operator
Replacement.  All fees and
expenses of the replacement operator shall be borne by Genesis
SPE.

       

      (c)           Upon
the occurrence of a default by Genesis SPE under Section 4.3(c) or 4.3(d),
above, if such event of default Materially decreases, or will Materially
decrease the amount of Carbon Dioxide that Denbury is able to ship through the
Pipeline, or upon the occurrence of a default under Section 4.3(a), Denbury
shall have the option, but not the obligation, but only within thirty (30) Days
of the occurrence of any such event of default, to notify Genesis SPE of its
intention to purchase the Pipeline, along with the assets, contracts and
properties associated therewith (as described on Exhibit D, and
collectively referred to as the “Pipeline System”,
provided that the term Pipeline System shall also include all assets, contracts
and properties (including Related Agreements) that become associated with the
Pipeline during the Term subsequent to the Effective Date, including new Receipt
Points and Delivery Points that may be established as provided in Article V hereunder)
at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Pipeline System’s Fair
Market Value (as defined below); provided, however, that Denbury
may elect to offset or recoup any other amounts owed by Genesis SPE to Denbury
under this Agreement against the purchase price of the Pipeline System at the
time that the Fair Market Value is determined.  As used herein, the
term “Fair Market Value” shall mean the higher of (i) the fair market value of
the Pipeline System;  or (ii) the fair market value of the Pipeline
System after giving effect to this Agreement.  If the parties cannot
agree upon such Fair Market Value within thirty (30) Days of Denbury’s notice to
Genesis SPE of its intention to purchase the Pipeline System, the purchase price
shall be determined pursuant to an arbitration proceeding conducted in
accordance with Section 14.9.  The parties shall cooperate in good
faith to consummate the sale as soon as reasonably possible, and if the parties
are unable to close the transaction within ninety (90) Days of Denbury’s notice
to Genesis SPE of its intention to purchase the Pipeline System, the parties
shall submit to an arbitration proceeding conducted in accordance with Section
14.9 to resolve any remaining issues related to the purchase of the Pipeline
System by Denbury.  All future obligations of the parties under this
Agreement, the Guaranty Agreement and the Related Agreements and all of Genesis
SPE’s interests therein, shall terminate upon consummation of any such purchase
of the Pipeline System by Denbury, provided that the parties shall retain any
and all rights to pursue remedies provided herein against the other for damages
resulting from breaches of this Agreement that occur prior to the consummation
of any such purchase.

Agreement. Provided that Denbury is not in default under this Agreement
beyond applicable notice and cure or grace periods as set forth in this Article IV, and
assuming Denbury has previously exercised both Options for the Renewal Terms as
provided in Section 4.2 above, at Denbury’s request the parties agree to
negotiate in good faith regarding a new transportation services agreement on
terms consistent with then-current market conditions, for the period after the
expiration of the Second Renewal Term.  The parties shall commence any
negotiations on a new transportation services agreement no later than twelve
(12) Months prior to the expiration date of the Second Renewal Term (the “Negotiation
Period”).  During the Negotiation Period, if any bona fide
written or oral offers are delivered by Genesis SPE to third-parties (the “Delivered Offers”) or
received by Genesis SPE from third-parties (the “Received Offers,” and
together with the Delivered Offers, collectively the “Offers”) regarding
the transportation of any substance on the Pipeline by Genesis SPE on behalf of
such third-parties after expiration of the Second Renewal Term, Genesis SPE
shall provide Denbury with written notification of all terms and conditions of
each Offer within ten (10) Days following delivery or receipt
thereof.  Thereafter, if a third-party desires to accept a Delivered
Offer, or Genesis SPE desires to accept a Received Offer, before entering into
any transportation services agreement between Genesis SPE and such third-party
based on such Offer, Genesis SPE will provide Denbury with the final agreed form
of such transportation services agreement and thereafter Denbury shall have
thirty (30) Days to enter into such transportation services agreement with
Genesis SPE in lieu of such third-party.

Points.

       

      (a)           The
Receipt Points are set forth on Exhibit
B.  The Delivery Points are set forth on Exhibit
C.  Denbury may notify Genesis SPE at any time and from time to
time that Denbury or Denbury’s Designee requires one or more additional Receipt
Points or Delivery Points on the Pipeline and Genesis SPE will establish such
additional Receipt Points or Delivery Points as soon as reasonably
practicable.  Denbury shall reimburse Genesis SPE for all incremental
costs incurred or to be incurred by Genesis SPE as a result of the addition of
such Receipt Points or Delivery Points through a one-time reimbursement payment.
Upon the addition of any Receipt Point or Delivery Point, the parties shall
execute an amendment of this Agreement which shall reflect all of the Receipt
Points or Delivery Points on a revised Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as
appropriate.  Furthermore, the parties may enter into additional
Related Agreements, as needed, with respect to such new Receipt Points or
Delivery Points.

       

      (b)           The
exact point at which delivery by Genesis SPE to Denbury or Denbury’s Designee
shall be deemed to be made shall be the outlet flange of Genesis SPE’s motor
operated delivery valve connecting the facilities of the Pipeline with the
facilities of Denbury or Denbury’s Designee.

       

      (c)           The
parties agree that (i) new Receipt Points will be established for any
Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide that is to be shipped on the Pipeline or, (ii) to
the extent Denbury commingles Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide and naturally
occurring Carbon Dioxide upstream of the established Receipt Points, the parties
shall reasonably agree upon an allocation of volumes between the naturally
occurring Carbon Dioxide and Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide at such Receipt
Points.

       

      5.2           Responsibility.  As
between the parties hereto, and subject to the limitations set forth in other
provisions of this Agreement, Genesis SPE shall be responsible for any injuries,
losses, expenses, claims, liabilities, or damages caused by the Carbon Dioxide
while it is in the Pipeline until it shall have been delivered to Denbury or
Denbury’s Designee at the Delivery Points.  Prior to receipt by
Genesis SPE at the Receipt Points and after such delivery to Denbury or
Denbury’s Designee at the Delivery Points, Denbury or Denbury’s Designee shall
be responsible for any injuries, losses, expenses, claims, liabilities, or
damages caused thereby. Subject to the limitations set forth in other provisions
of this Agreement, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”)
shall indemnify the other party in respect of any injuries, losses, expenses,
claims, liabilities, or damages occurring while the Carbon Dioxide is in
possession of the Indemnifying Party. Genesis SPE shall not take title to
Denbury’s Carbon Dioxide in the Pipeline merely by receipt of such Carbon
Dioxide for Denbury’s account. Genesis SPE will not have title to any of the
Carbon Dioxide including any Carbon Dioxide provided by Denbury for
Inventory.

       

      5.3           Pressure
Criteria.  All Carbon Dioxide tendered by Denbury at any
Receipt Point shall be delivered at pressures sufficient to enter the Pipeline
at the working pressures maintained by Genesis SPE at such Receipt Point from
time to time. Genesis SPE shall deliver the volumes of Carbon Dioxide as
provided for hereunder at the Delivery Points at pressures ranging from 1100 to
1680 psig.  It is the intention of both parties that the pressure of
the Pipeline will be controlled by Denbury’s operations at its Jackson Dome
Field and that Genesis SPE shall not be required to install compression or
pumping equipment to increase or control the pressure in the Pipeline at any
time.

      6.1           Delivery Rates.
Genesis SPE and Denbury shall endeavor to deliver and to accept, respectively,
Carbon Dioxide in as reasonably constant rates as is practicable. Genesis SPE
and Denbury understand and agree that the amount of Carbon Dioxide delivered
hereunder from time to time may not exactly equate with the volume of Carbon
Dioxide requested for delivery hereunder since variations may occur due to the
inherent fluctuations in normal pipeline operations.

       

      6.2           Cooperation Regarding
Deliveries. Genesis SPE and Denbury agree to fully cooperate with each
other in adjusting monthly and daily deliveries hereunder.  In the
event of an emergency which poses danger to life or property, no prior notice
shall be necessary before partial or total shutdown by either party, but notice
of such shutdown and the reason therefore shall be given as soon as practicable
thereafter. If a shutdown becomes necessary for either party on a non-emergency
basis, such party shall give at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice to
the other party.

OF ANY CARBON DIOXIDE DELIVERED OR TO BE DELIVERED HEREUNDER FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.

       

      7.4           Sour Carbon
Dioxide.  In the event that Denbury desires to have Genesis SPE
transport Carbon Dioxide that contains hydrogen sulfide in excess of the
specifications set forth in Section 7.1(b) (“Sour Carbon Dioxide”), Denbury
shall so notify Genesis SPE and advise Genesis SPE of the expected hydrogen
sulfide composition of the Sour Carbon Dioxide that Denbury desires to have
transported. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, Genesis SPE shall conduct
such studies as it believes are necessary to determine the incremental costs
that Genesis SPE will incur to transport such Sour Carbon Dioxide for Denbury,
and it shall complete such studies within 90 Days of its receipt of Denbury’s
notice.  Genesis SPE shall make all such studies available to Denbury,
and based on such studies, the parties shall negotiate a revised Transportation
Fee which shall be designed to take into account such incremental
costs.  In the event the parties are unable to mutually agree upon a
revised Transportation Fee, either party may submit the determination of the
revised Transportation Fee to the dispute resolution provisions conducted in
accordance with Section 14.9. Upon the determination of the revised
Transportation Fee, Genesis SPE shall promptly commence to modify the Pipeline
so as to enable it to transport Denbury’s Sour Carbon Dioxide, and it shall
prosecute such modification to completion with due diligence. Genesis SPE shall
advise Denbury when such modification has been completed, and thereafter Denbury
shall be entitled to commence the delivery of Sour Carbon Dioxide to Genesis SPE
hereunder.

      OWNERSHIP
AND OPERATION OF THE PIPELINE

       

      8.1           Facility Ownership.
Genesis SPE will own, operate, maintain and make any improvements to the
Pipeline. However, any improvements made to, or maintenance or operations of,
the Pipeline by Genesis SPE following the Effective Date shall not adversely
affect Denbury’s intended use of the Pipeline set forth
hereunder.  Denbury will own, operate and maintain the pipelines and
measurement facilities that are upstream of the upstream flange of the motor
control valve which is downstream of the Denbury Free State metering facilities
at Denbury’s Jackson Dome Field dehydration facilities at each Receipt Point and
the pipelines and measurement facilities beginning with and downstream of the
outlet flange of the motor-operated delivery valve located downstream of Genesis
SPE’s custody transfer meter at each Delivery Point.  Denbury will
maintain Carbon Dioxide custody to the upstream flange of Genesis SPE’s motor
control valve which is downstream of Denbury’s measurement facilities at each
Receipt Point.  Denbury shall be solely responsible for the delivery
of Carbon Dioxide to the upstream flange on the inlet side of Genesis SPE’s
motor control valve at each Receipt Point.  Genesis SPE will maintain
Carbon Dioxide custody from the motor control valve which is downstream of
Denbury’s Free State metering facility at each Receipt Point to the flange on
the outlet side of Genesis SPE’s motor-operated valve which is downstream of
Genesis SPE’s metering facility at each Delivery Point. Genesis SPE shall be
solely responsible for the delivery of Carbon Dioxide to the flange on the
outlet side of Genesis SPE’s motor-operated delivery valve at each Delivery
Point. All piping downstream from the Delivery Points shall be the
responsibility of Denbury. Any of Denbury’s rights to deliver and receive Carbon
Dioxide under this Agreement may be transferred to a Denbury Designee and the
provisions of this Section 8.1 will be deemed modified to account for such
transfer to Denbury’s Designee; provided however, that Denbury
remains responsible for all of its obligations hereunder, including without
limitation for payment of Transportation Fees for all Carbon Dioxide delivered
by the Pipeline on behalf of a Denbury Designee hereunder.

      8.2           Maintenance and Repair of
Pipeline; Improvements to Pipeline.  To the extent the Pipeline
requires maintenance or repair work, or improvements that, when performed, could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect Genesis SPE’s ability to accept or
redeliver a Material volume of Carbon Dioxide delivered by Denbury, the parties
will evaluate circumstances and determine the most optimal timing and means by
which to conduct such maintenance, repair or improvement activity so as to
minimize the negative impact of such maintenance, repair or improvements on
Denbury’s throughput of Carbon Dioxide through the Pipeline.  Upon
such determination by the parties, Genesis SPE shall perform such work as soon
as reasonably practicable. To the extent the Pipeline requires maintenance or
repair work resulting from an emergency situation and such work can be
immediately performed by Denbury, and Denbury reasonably determines that Genesis
SPE will not immediately perform the work, then Denbury shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to perform such maintenance or repair work, subject to
industry accepted standards, on Genesis SPE’s behalf and in connection
therewith, incur reasonable expenses for the account of Genesis SPE, and any and
all such sums expended or obligations reasonably incurred by Denbury in
connection therewith shall be paid by Genesis SPE to Denbury within thirty (30)
Days following written invoice from Denbury.  In the event Genesis SPE
fails to reimburse and pay same to Denbury, Denbury may deduct such amounts from
subsequent monthly installments of the Transportation Fee and other charges (if
any) that from time to time thereafter may become due and payable by Denbury to
Genesis SPE hereunder.  Any such deduction from the monthly
Transportation Fee shall not constitute an event of default by Denbury.

       

      8.3           Reimbursement for Carbon
Dioxide Losses.  In the event that losses of Carbon Dioxide for
a given Month during the Term occur in excess of the average normal losses or
average normal unaccounted for volumes occurring during the immediately
preceding three (3) Months, and that such losses are due in any substantial part
to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Genesis SPE during its
operation of the Pipeline, Genesis SPE shall reimburse Denbury for the actual
volume of such excess loss in an amount per MCF of Carbon
Dioxide  equal to 1.0% of the arithmetic average of all daily
settlement prices published for the “Light Sweet Crude Oil” (CL) prompt month
contract reported by the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) (trade days only)
beginning on the first day of the Delivery Month through and including the last
day of the Delivery Month. The Delivery Month shall be the month in which the
Carbon Dioxide was lost.  The actual volume lost will be the
difference between (i) the Month to date total of all Carbon Dioxide received as
measured by all Receipt Point meters less the average
normal losses and average normal unaccounted for volumes of Carbon Dioxide
during the immediately preceding three (3) Months, and (ii) the Month to date
total volume of all Carbon Dioxide actually determined to be delivered as
measured by all Delivery Point meters.

      If for
any reason the total excess loss cannot be ascertained or computed from the
readings of existing meters it shall be estimated and agreed upon by the parties
upon the basis of the best data available, using the first of the following
methods which is feasible: (x) by using the registration of any check meters, if
installed and accurately registering; (y) by estimating the quantity delivered
during preceding periods under similar conditions, or (z) by mathematical
calculations where appropriate.

       

      ARTICLE

      MEASUREMENT

       

      9.1           Measurement Point.
The Carbon Dioxide received and delivered hereunder shall be measured for
custody transfer by Denbury at the Receipt Points and by Genesis SPE at the
Delivery Points in accordance with the standards set out in this
Article.  Each party shall have sole responsibility for the operation
and maintenance of its respective Carbon Dioxide metering
facilities.  Genesis SPE shall have care, custody and control of the
Carbon Dioxide following transfer at the Receipt Points until the Carbon Dioxide
is re-delivered to Denbury at the Delivery Points.

       

      9.2           Procedure. Custody
transfer measurement of Carbon Dioxide shall be determined from Pound-Mass
quantities, which will be converted to standard Cubic Feet quantities. The
molecular weight of the metered stream of Carbon Dioxide, calculated from the
compositional analyses, shall be the basis for conversion of Pound-Mass
measurement units to standard Cubic Feet measurement units.

       

      9.3           Atmospheric Pressure.
The atmospheric pressure at the Receipt Points and Delivery Points shall be
based upon 14.73 Psia at sea level, which corrected to actual elevation is
15.025 Psia, and may be assumed to be constant for calculation
purposes.

       

      9.4           Meter Standards. The
Carbon Dioxide delivered hereunder shall be measured with orifice meters
constructed and installed in accordance with the October, 1981, compilation of
standards in the American Petroleum
Institute, Manual of Petroleum Standards, Chapter 14, with any subsequent
amendments, revisions and additions which may be mutually acceptable to Genesis
SPE and Denbury. Computations of Pound Mass shall also be made in accordance
with said manual.  Either party may install, at its own expense, a
check meter at the location of the other party’s custody transfer meter, which
meter shall be of similar quality to the custody transfer meter in
place.  The installation and operation of such check meter shall be
conducted so as not to adversely affect the operation of the existing metering
facilities.  Both Denbury and Genesis SPE shall have reasonable access
to the Carbon Dioxide metering facilities of the other, including access to
check meters, at all reasonable times.  

       

      9.5           Temperature. The
temperature of the Carbon Dioxide shall be determined by an on-line temperature
measuring device so installed that it will sense the temperature of the Carbon
Dioxide flowing through the meter.

      9.6           Calibration of
Meters.  Denbury and Genesis SPE agree to maintain their
respective meter facilities so as to perform accurately and remain in good
repair.  Each Receipt Point meter (which will be owned by Denbury) and
Delivery Point meter (which will be owned by Genesis SPE) shall be calibrated
(by checking the temperature, pressure and pressure differential transducers) at
least once every thirty (30) Days by Denbury and Genesis SPE, respectively. Each
party shall provide reasonable notice to the other party of such test of its
measuring equipment in order that, if so desired, the other party may have its
representative present to witness such test.  In addition to the
foregoing, the measuring equipment shall be inspected, tested and calibrated by
an independent certified company agreeable to both parties twice a year. At any
time Denbury or Genesis SPE may challenge the accuracy of the custody transfer
metering equipment at the Delivery Point or Receipt Point, respectively, and if
challenged, the equipment shall be tested and repaired as
necessary.  If the accuracy of the metering equipment is challenged
and is found to be inaccurate by two percent (2%) or less, the challenging party
shall pay the expenses related to the special test.  If the metering
equipment is found to be inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent (2%),
registrations thereof shall be corrected at zero percent (0%) for a period
extending back to the time such inaccuracy occurred, if such time is
ascertainable, and if such time is not ascertainable, then back one-half (1/2)
of the time elapsed since the last date of calibration.

       

      9.7           Meter
Inaccuracies.  If any inaccuracies greater than two percent
(2%) are found in a custody transfer meter as set forth in Section 9.6 above, or
if a custody transfer meter is out of service or out of repair so that the
amount of Carbon Dioxide delivered cannot be ascertained or computed from the
readings thereof or corrected pursuant to Section 9.6 above, the Carbon Dioxide
measurement during the period the meter is inaccurate or out of service or out
for repair shall be estimated and agreed upon by the parties using the best data
available, upon the first of the following methods which is feasible:

       

      (a)           By
using the registration of any check meter, if installed and accurately
registering.

       

      (b)           By
correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration,
test, or mathematical calculation.

       

      (c)           By
estimating the quantity delivered by deliveries during preceding periods under
similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.

       

      9.8           Samples.  A
composite sample of Denbury’s Carbon Dioxide stream shall be accumulated during
each Month at the Receipt Point and analyzed for its composition by gas
chromatograph or other methods agreed to by Genesis SPE and Denbury, at
Denbury’s expense.

      FORCE
MAJEURE

       

      10.1           Definition. If, while
this Agreement is in effect, either party is rendered unable, wholly or in part,
by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations (except financial obligations)
under this Agreement, it is agreed that, on such party’s giving notice and
reasonably full particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to the other party
within three (3) business Days after the occurrence of the Force Majeure relied
on, then the obligations of the party giving such notice, so far as they are
affected by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of any
inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall so far as
possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch. The term “Force Majeure,” as
used herein, shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial
disturbances, acts of the public enemy, wars, terrorism, blockades,
insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires,
storms, floods, high water, washouts, arrests and restraints of government and
people, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery or
lines of pipe, freezing of wells or lines of pipe, partial or entire failure of
wells, and any other causes, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise,
not reasonably within the control of the party claiming Force Majeure. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Force Majeure” shall
likewise include those instances where either party hereto is required to
furnish materials and supplies for the purpose of constructing or maintaining
facilities or is required to secure permits, rights-of-way or permissions from
any governmental agency or other person or entity to enable such party to
perform hereunder, the inability of such party to acquire, or the delays on the
part of such party in acquiring, at reasonable cost and after the exercise of
reasonable diligence, such materials and supplies, permits and
permissions.  An occurrence of Force Majeure that affects the source
of Denbury’s Carbon Dioxide or the ability of Denbury’s operations to receive
and utilize the Carbon Dioxide supplies shall be deemed to be an occurrence of
Force Majeure affecting Denbury hereunder.

      10.2           Limitation on Force
Majeure.  The fact that an emergency situation is an event of
Force Majeure will not limit Denbury’s rights to perform maintenance or repair
work to the Pipeline as provided in Section 8.2 above.  If, after
deliveries have commenced hereunder, an event of Force Majeure Materially
affects the amount of Carbon Dioxide that Denbury is able to ship through the
Pipeline during a consecutive period of 45 or more Days, then, at any time after
such period and prior to the time such event has been remedied, Denbury may
effect an Operator Replacement and/or Denbury may purchase the Pipeline System
under the same terms as described in Section 4.4(c); provided that,
notwithstanding the right of Denbury to effect an Operator Replacement, and the
right of Denbury to purchase the Pipeline as described in Section 4.4(c), a
Force Majeure event as described in this sentence shall not be treated as an
event of default under this Agreement. 

       

      10.3           Strikes and
Lockouts.  It is understood and agreed that the settlement of
strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the party having
the difficulty and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be
remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of
strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of any opposing party when such
course is inadvisable in the discretion of the party having the difficulty.

      TRANSPORTATION
FEE SCHEDULE

       

      Based
on Average Daily Volumes

       

      The total
Transportation Fee during the Term will be the sum of $100,000 per month plus a
throughput fee based on a tiered transportation rate structure on each range of
average daily volumes of Carbon Dioxide delivered in any given month, as set
forth below:

       

      

       

      
        	
                Average Daily Volumes of Carbon Dioxide
      Delivered

              	
                Transportation Rate for Average Daily Volumes Delivered Within
      Specified

                Quantity Range

              
	
                0-100     MMCF/day

              	
                $0.14/MCF

              
	
                100-200
      MMCF/day

              	
                $0.11/MCF

              
	
                200-300
      MMCF/day

              	
                $0.09/MCF

              
	
                300-350
      MMCF/day

              	
                $0.03/MCF

              
	
                350-400
      MMCF/day

              	
                $0.01/MCF

              
	
                400-450
      MMCF/day

              	
                $0.005/MCF

              

      

      

       

      The
throughput fee will be calculated based on the average daily volume of Carbon
Dioxide delivered during a Month through all Delivery Points.  The
average daily volume will be calculated based on the total volume of Carbon
Dioxide delivered each Month through all Delivery Points, divided by the actual
number of calendar Days for that particular Month. This tiered rate structure
provides for transportation rates that gradually reduce as additional average
daily volumes of Carbon Dioxide are delivered by Genesis SPE on behalf of
Denbury.  Once the average daily volumes of Carbon Dioxide delivered
reach each designated threshold, the transportation rate for delivery of
incremental average daily volumes will be reduced correspondingly as set forth
above.

       

      For
example, if Genesis SPE delivers a monthly average of 275 MMCF/Day of Carbon
Dioxide on behalf of Denbury under this Agreement, Denbury’s total
Transportation Fee for such month would be $100,000 plus a throughput fee
calculated as follows: (a) $0.14/MCF for the first 100 MMCF/Day delivered; (b)
$0.11/MCF for the next 100 MMCF/Day delivered; and (c) $0.09/MCF for the
remaining 75 MMCF/Day delivered.ex10_4.htm

    NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby

    ARTICLE
I

    DEFINITIONS

     

    SECTION
1.01     Defined
Terms.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the
meanings specified below:

     

    “ABR”, when used in
reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans
comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by
reference to the Alternate Base Rate.

     

    “Acquisition” means
the direct or indirect purchase or acquisition, whether in one or more related
transactions, by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of (a) any Person or
group of Persons (or all or substantially all of the Equity Interest in any
Person or group of Persons) or (b) any related group of assets of any Person or
group of Persons.

     

    “Acquisition
Consideration” means the purchase consideration for any Acquisition and
all other payments by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for,
or as part of, or in connection with, any Acquisition, whether paid in cash or
by the assumption of obligations or the exchange of Equity Interests or of
properties or otherwise and whether payable at or prior to the consummation of
such Acquisition or deferred for payment at any future time, whether or not any
such future payment is subject to the occurrence of any contingency, and
includes any and all payments representing the purchase price and any
assumptions of Indebtedness, “earn-out” and other agreements to make any payment
the amount of which is, or the terms of payment of which are, in any respect
subject to or contingent upon the revenues, income, cash flow or profits (or the
like) of any Person or business; provided that any
such future payment that is subject to a contingency shall be considered
Acquisition Consideration only to the extent of the reserve, if any, required
under GAAP at the time of such sale to be established in respect thereof by the
Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary.

     

    “Act” has the meaning
assigned to such term in Section 10.14.

     

    “Adjusted Consolidated
EBITDA” means, for any period, Consolidated EBITDA determined on a Pro Forma
Basis.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning on the Effective
Date, (a) (i) prior to the end of the first Test Period or Calculation Period,
as the case may be, that includes a fiscal quarter that occurred entirely
subsequent to the Effective Date, the Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA attributable
to FS SPE 2 for Pro Forma Basis purposes
shall be deemed to be $1,968,000 for each fiscal quarter included in such Test
Period or Calculation Period, as the case may be, and (ii) on or after the
end of the first Test Period or Calculation Period, as the case may be, that
includes one fiscal quarter that occurred entirely subsequent to the Effective
Date, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA attributable to FS SPE 2 shall be deemed to
be actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA attributable to FS SPE 2 during all
fiscal quarters in the applicable Test Period or Calculation Period, as the case
may be, that occurred entirely subsequent to the Effective Date, multiplied by
4, and divided by the number of such fiscal quarters, and (b) for any Test
Period or Calculation Period, as the case may be, that includes fiscal quarters
that did not occur entirely subsequent to the Effective Date, Adjusted
Consolidated EBITDA attributable to NEJD SPE 2 for Pro Forma Basis purposes
shall be deemed to be $5,166,943 for each such fiscal quarter.  Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a “Cash Option Only Default” under
and as defined in the NEJD Financing Lease Agreement, Adjusted Consolidated
EBITDA shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the contributions to
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA attributable to NEJD SPE 2 for the applicable Test
Period or Calculation Period.  Solely for purposes of determining the
Borrowing Base and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition,
(x) cash distributions received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from
Unrestricted Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and any Person accounted for by the
equity method of accounting or from any Person that is not a Subsidiary of the
Parent (including intercompany loan repayments) shall not be permitted to
account for more than 20% of total Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, and (y) cash
distributions received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from NEJD SPE
2 (including intercompany loan repayments) shall not be permitted to contribute
more than $15,000,000 to total Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, and in the case of
(x) and (y), any excess above such percentage or amount, as the case may be, as
calculated from time to time, shall not be considered Adjusted Consolidated

to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Loans
to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate
principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
exceeding such Lender’s Committed Amount; provided, however,
that at no time shall any Lender be obligated to make Loans in an aggregate
principal amount in excess of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Available
Amount at such time.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Loans.

     

    SECTION
2.02     Loans and
Borrowings.

     

    (a)         Each
Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Committed
Amounts.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be
made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder;
provided that
the Committed Amounts of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as
required.

     

    (b)         Subject
to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR
Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance
herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by
causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan; provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (c)         At
the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing,
such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple
of  $300,000 and not less than $2,000,000.  At the time that
each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000;
provided that
an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the
entire unused balance of the aggregate Committed Amount or that is required to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section
2.06(e).  Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the
same time; provided that there
shall not at any time be more than a total of six Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowings outstanding.

     

    (d)         Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity
Date.

    SECTION
2.03     Requests for Revolving
Borrowings.  To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone f) in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or g) in the case
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date
of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such telephonic Borrowing Request
shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by
the Borrower.  Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section
2.02:

     

    (i)           the
aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

     

    (ii)          the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

     

    (iii)         whether
such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

     

    (iv)        in
the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
“Interest Period”; and

     

    (v)         the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section
2.07.

     

    If no
election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period
is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration.  Each Borrowing Request shall constitute a representation
that the amount of the Borrowing requested thereunder will not cause the sum of
the total Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the Available
Amount.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each
Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing.

     

    SECTION
2.04     Borrowing
Base.

     

    (a)         Initial Borrowing
Base.  On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver a
certificate setting forth the Borrowing Base on such date, which shall (subject
to Section 2.04(c)), be the Borrowing Base for the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the Business Day following the first delivery by
the Borrower of a Borrowing Base Certification.

     

    (b)         Redetermination of Borrowing
Base.  Upon the Borrower delivering a Borrowing Base
Certification to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Borrowing Base
set forth therein will become effective and applicable to the
Borrower.

     

    (c)         Material
Acquisitions.  Prior to the consummation of a Material
Acquisition but after approval of the Required Lenders is received pursuant to
clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Acquisition with respect to Adjusted
Consolidated EBITDA, the Borrower may, by delivery of a Borrowing Base Multiple
Increase Notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, increase the then
effective Borrowing Base as described in the first proviso to the definition of
Borrowing Base effective on the date of the consummation of such Material
Acquisition, but only if such Material Acquisition is actually consummated;
provided, however, that, with respect to the Free State Acquisition, the
approval of the Required Lenders described above with respect to Adjusted
Consolidated EBITDA shall be deemed given and the Borrower may deliver a
Borrowing Base Multiple Increase Notice with respect to the Free State
Acquisition at any time on or prior to the Effective Date.  The
increased Borrowing Base will be effective during the Borrowing Base Multiple
Increase Period relating to the applicable Material Acquisition.  If,
during any Borrowing Base Multiple Increase Period, the Borrower consummates
another Material Acquisition, then upon compliance with the procedure described
in the first sentence of this subsection (c), the Borrowing Base Multiple
Increase Period shall become such period relating to such additional Material
Acquisition.  The amount of the Borrowing Base shall, on the last day
of the then-applicable Borrowing Base Multiple Increase Period, automatically
revert to the amount thereof as calculated based on the multiple described in
clause (a) of the definition of Borrowing Base.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        37

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (d)         Unscheduled Reductions in
Borrowing Base.  In the event of a reduction in the Borrowing
Base made pursuant to proviso (x) or (y) of the definition of Borrowing Base,
the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days,
make any prepayments required by Section 2.11(c) as a result of such
reduction.

     

    SECTION
2.05     Committed
Amount.

     

    (a)         Initial Committed Amount;
General Provisions.  On the Effective Date, the aggregate
Committed Amounts shall be $500,000,000.  The aggregate Committed
Amounts shall at all times be in a minimum amount and an integral multiple of
$5,000,000.  Any decrease (other than termination thereof pursuant to
Section 2.09) of the aggregate Committed Amounts may only be made in accordance
with Section 2.05(b) and any such reduction of the Committed Amounts shall be
permanent.

     

    (b)         Decreases of Committed
Amount.  The Borrower may decrease the aggregate Committed
Amounts by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Committed Amount Decrease
Certificate electing a decrease of the aggregate Committed
Amounts.  Any such decrease in the aggregate Committed Amounts shall
be effective from the third Business Day after receipt of the applicable
Committed Amount Decrease Certificate by the Administrative Agent as provided
above, unless such Committed Amount Decrease Certificate requests such decrease
to become effective on a later date, not to exceed ten Business Days after
receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent.  Any such decrease in the
aggregate Committed Amounts shall be applied to each Lender’s Committed Amount
pro rata.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a
copy of such Committed Amount Decrease Certificate together with a schedule
showing each Lender’s Ratable Portion of the decrease to the aggregate Committed
Amounts.

     

    SECTION
2.06     Letters of
Credit.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          38

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (a)         General.  Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the
issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account from any Issuing Bank pursuant
to a Letter of Credit Request, at any time and from time to time during the
Availability Period (subject to Section 2.06(c)).  In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Letter
of Credit Request, on the one hand, and the terms and conditions of any form of
letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or
entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of
Credit, on the other hand, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Letter of Credit Request shall control.

     

    (b)         Notice of Issuance,
Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an
outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or
transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been
approved by the Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent
(reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and
specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be
a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which
shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of
Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit.  If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in
connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed
$100,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not
exceed the Available Amount.

     

    (c)         Expiration
Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the
close of business on the date requested (which shall be a Business Day), which
shall not be later than the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of
the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

     

    (d)         Participations.  By
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank that issues such Letter of Credit or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank
that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder hereby grants to each Lender, and each
Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of
Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate amount available
to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank
that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of each
LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on
the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any
reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph 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 reduction or
termination of the Committed Amounts, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.  At least once per quarter, the Administrative Agent shall
provide each Lender with a schedule showing the amount of such Lender’s
participations in outstanding Letters of Credit; provided, that the
Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any failure to comply with this
provision.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (e)         Reimbursement.  If
any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement
not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC
Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date,
then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that
the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the
Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request
in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR
Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the
Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.  If the Borrower fails to make
such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect
thereof and such Lender’s Ratable Portion thereof.  Promptly following
receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its
Ratable Portion of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section
2.07 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such
Letter of Credit the amounts so received by it from the
Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of
any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter
of Credit or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing
Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute
a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC
Disbursement.

     

    (f)         Obligations
Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 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 i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, ii) 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, iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for
the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any
Issuing Bank, 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 any Issuing Bank; provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to
the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements) suffered by the
Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’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 an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction),
such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised 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 Bank 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.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        40

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (g)         Disbursement
Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or
will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any
failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of
its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to
any such LC Disbursement.

     

    (h)         Interim
Interest.  If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the
date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at
the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the
Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply.  Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing
Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any
Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank
shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such
payment.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          41

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (i)         Replacement of an Issuing
Bank.  Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written
agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing
Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all
unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.12(b).  From and after the effective date of any such
replacement, v) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and vi) references herein to the term
“Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous
Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the
context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank
hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.

     

    (j)         Cash
Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, or to the extent required by Section 2.11(c), the Borrower shall,
within two Business Days, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent,
in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the
obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately,
and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or
other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with
respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article
VII.  The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in such account and cash
collateral.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits
shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for
LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so
applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement.  If the Borrower is required to provide an
amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been
cured or waived.

     

    SECTION
2.07     Funding of
Borrowings.

     

    (a)         Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated
by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the
amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained
with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in
the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing
Bank that made such LC Disbursement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        42

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)         Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
the Borrower 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 Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at vii) in the case
of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation or viii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing.

     

    SECTION
2.08     Interest
Elections.

     

    (a)         Each
Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing
Request.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing
to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as
provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options
with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each
such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans
comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be
considered a separate Borrowing.

     

    (b)         To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a
Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the
effective date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request signed by the Borrower.

     

    (c)         Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     

    (i)           the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the
portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing);

     

    
      
         

      

      
        43

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (ii)          the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day;

     

    (iii)         whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and

     

    (iv)         if
the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

     

    If any
such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

     

    (d)        Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of
each resulting Borrowing.

     

    (e)        If
the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to
a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at
the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing ix) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and x) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

     

    SECTION
2.09     Termination and Reduction of
Committed Amounts.

     

    (a)         Unless
previously terminated, each Committed Amount shall terminate on the Maturity
Date.

     

    (b)         The
Borrower may at any time terminate in full the aggregate Committed
Amounts.  The Borrower may reduce the aggregate Committed Amounts from
time to time pursuant to Section 2.05(b), provided that the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Committed Amounts if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with
Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the
aggregate Committed Amounts.

     

    (c)         The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate all
Committed Amounts at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of
such termination, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice
delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a
notice of termination of the Committed Amounts delivered by the Borrower may
state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied.  Any termination of the aggregate
Committed Amounts shall be permanent.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        44

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    SECTION
2.10     Repayment of Loans; Evidence
of Debt.

     

    (a)         The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the
Maturity Date.

     

    (b)         Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting
from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.

     

    (c)         The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record xi) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period
applicable thereto, xii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
xiii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for
the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

     

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

     

    (e)         Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory
note.  In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such
Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested
by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced
by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
an increase or reduction in such Lender’s Committed Amount pursuant to an
assignment made pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more
promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein
(or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered assigns).

     

    SECTION
2.11     Prepayment of
Loans.

     

    (a)         The
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with
paragraph (b) of this Section.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        45

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)         The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder xiv) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or xv) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a
notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of
termination of the Committed Amounts as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such
notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in
accordance with Section 2.09.  Promptly following receipt of any such
notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise
the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any
Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of
an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section
2.02.  Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13
and any break funding payments required by Section 2.16(a).

     

    (c)         If,
at any time, the total Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding at such time
exceeds the Available Amount then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans to the
extent of such excess on the date such excess first occurs (unless such excess
occurs pursuant to Section 2.04(d), in which case the Borrower shall prepay such
excess no later than as required by Section 2.04(d)) and, if such prepayment
does not result in such excess being $0 because of outstanding Letters of
Credit, then the Borrower shall cash collateralize such Letters of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.06(j) to the extent of such remaining excess.

     

    SECTION
2.12     Fees.

     

    (a)         The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a commitment fee which shall accrue at an annual rate equal to the
applicable Unused Fee on Committed Amount, on the daily amount of such Lender’s
unused Committed Amount during the period from and including the Effective Date
to but excluding the date on which its Committed Amount terminates; provided that, if
such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure (other than
un-reimbursed LC Disbursements) after its Commitment terminates, then such
commitment fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Exposure (other than un-reimbursed LC Disbursements) from and
including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date
on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure (other than
un-reimbursed LC Disbursements).  Accrued Unused Fees on Committed
Amounts shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September
and December of each year and on the date on which the aggregate Committed
Amounts terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date
hereof, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding
the last day).

     

    (b)         The
Borrower agrees to pay xvi) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of
Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the
interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such
Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the November 2006
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s
Committed Amount terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any
LC Exposure, and xvii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue
at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of that portion of
the LC Exposure attributable to such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the November 2006 Effective Date to but excluding the later of the
date of termination of the Committed Amounts and the date on which there ceases
to be any LC Exposure attributable to such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing
Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees accrued shall be
payable on the third Business Day following the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the Effective Date; provided that all
such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Committed Amounts terminate
and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Committed Amounts
terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to an
Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after
demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

     

    
      
         

      

      
        46

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)         The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     

    (d)         All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees
payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and
participation fees, to the Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable
under any circumstances.

     

    SECTION
2.13     Interest.

     

    (a)         The
Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

     

    (b)         The
Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Margin.

     

    (c)         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to xviii)
in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
or xix) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR
Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          47

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (d)         Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and upon termination of the Committed Amounts; provided that xx)
interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on
demand, xxi) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than
a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and xxii) in the event of any
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.

     

    (e)         All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and
such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    (f)         In
the event that any financial statements delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or
any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(d), is shown to be inaccurate
(regardless of whether this Agreement or the Committed Amounts are in effect
when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would
have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin and/or a higher Unused
Fee on Committed Amount for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the
Applicable Margin or Unused Fee on Committed Amount, as applicable, applied for
such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the
Administrative Agent a correct certificate in the form of the certificate
described in Section 5.01(d), (ii) such higher Applicable Margin and/or higher
Unused Fee on Committed Amount shall be applied to such Applicable Period, and
(iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued
additional interest and expense owing as a result of such increased Applicable
Margin and Unused Fee on Committed Amount for such Applicable Period, which
payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 7.02.   This Section 2.13(f) shall not limit the rights
of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to
Section 2.13(c) or Article VII.

     

    SECTION
2.14     Alternate Rate of
Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

     

    (a)         the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
Period; or

     

    (b)         the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or
maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such
Interest Period;

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          48

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders
by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

     

    SECTION
2.15     Increased
Costs.

     

    (a)         If
any Change in Law shall:

     

    (i)           impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

     

    (ii)           impose
on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar 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 of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will
pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

     

    (b)        If
any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held
by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     

    (c)        A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall
be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        49

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (d)        Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.

     

    SECTION
2.16     Break Funding
Payments.  In the event of h) the payment of any principal of
any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), i) the conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, j) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar
Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless
of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in
accordance therewith) or k) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 2.05(d), then, in any such
event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such
loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable
to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would
bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar
market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall
be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     

    SECTION
2.17     Taxes.

     

    (a)        Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes; provided that if the
Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or
Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions and iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Governmental
Requirements.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        50

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)        In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements.

     

    (c)        The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing
Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by
or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) 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 Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    (d)        As
soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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)        Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Governmental Requirements,
such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
Governmental Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

     

    (f)         If
the Administrative Agent or a 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 Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund
to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to
the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided that the
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority.  This Section shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any
other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person.

    SECTION
2.18     Payments Generally; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

     

    (a)         The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts
payable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) prior to
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at the address set forth for the
Administrative Agent in Section 10.01 in the State of New York (its “Principal Office”),
except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided
herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16(a),
Section 2.17 and Section 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled
thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in
dollars.

     

    (b)         If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal
and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due to such parties.

     

    (c)         If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender
receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary
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 Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that iv) 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 v)
the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Governmental
Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        52

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (d)         Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank 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 Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.

     

    (e)         If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.06(d) or (e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 10.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

     

    SECTION
2.19     Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.

     

    (a)         If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 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 vi) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, as the case may be, in
the future and vii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

     

    (b)         If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, if any Lender
defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower 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 Section 10.04), all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that viii)
the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (and if a Committed Amount is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, ix) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts) and x) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction
in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

    SECTION
3.05     Other Obligations and
Restrictions.  Except for Indebtedness not prohibited by
Section 6.01 and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business,
neither it nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any outstanding
liabilities of any kind (including contingent obligations, tax assessments, and
unusual forward or long-term commitments) which are, in the aggregate, material
to the Parent or material with respect to the Parent’s consolidated financial
condition and that are not shown in the financial statements delivered pursuant
to Section 3.04 or shown on Schedule
3.05.  It and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has paid all
material Taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges or levies imposed

    SECTION
3.06     Properties.

     

    (a)         Generally.  Except
as set forth on Schedule 3.06(a), it,
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and FS SPE 2 has good title to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all its Property material to the Borrower’s Business or,
in the case of a Material Subsidiary or FS SPE 2, material to its business, free
and clear of all Liens except for Liens permitted by Section 6.02 and minor
irregularities or deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate,
do not interfere with its ability to conduct such business as currently
conducted or to utilize such Properties for their intended
purposes.  Its tangible personal Property and the tangible personal
Property of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is material to the
Borrower’s Business or, in the case of a Material Subsidiary or FS SPE 2,
material to its business, is in good operating order and condition (ordinary
wear and tear occurring in the ordinary course of business or caused by Casualty
Events excepted) in accordance with industry standards.

     

    (b)         Real
Property.  Schedules 8(a) and 8(b) to the Perfection
Certificate dated as of the Effective Date contain a true, correct and complete
list of each interest in Real Property and Pipelines owned by it and each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date that do not constitute
Mortgaged Property and describes the type of interest therein held by such
Person and whether such owned Real Property or Pipeline is leased and if leased
whether the underlying lease contains any option to purchase all or any portion
of such Real Property or Pipeline or any interest therein or contains any right
of first refusal relating to any sale of such Real Property or Pipeline or any
interest therein; provided, however, that such
Schedules are not required to list Rights-of-Way that are not subject to the
Liens granted in the Mortgages solely because such Rights-of-Way contain
transfer restrictions that prohibit such grant.  As of the Effective
Date, with respect to all Real Property and Pipelines, there are no leases in
which it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries holds the lessor’s interest for
which the annual rent or similar payment exceeds $5,000 per year per
arrangement.

     

    (c)         Collateral.  It
and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns or has rights to use all of the
Collateral and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing of, necessary for
or material to the Borrower’s Business or, in the case of a Material Subsidiary,
material to its business, in each case as currently conducted.  The
use by it and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries of such Collateral and all
rights with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights of any Person
other than such infringement that could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No claim
has been made and remains outstanding asserting that it or any of its
subsidiaries’ use of any Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third
party that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

    (d)         Permits,
etc.  It, each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, FS SPE 2 and
NEJD SPE 2 has all permits, licenses and authorizations required in connection
with the conduct of its businesses, and is in compliance with the terms and
conditions of all such permits, licenses and authorizations, except where the
failure to have or comply with such permits, licenses and authorizations would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.

are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the Knowledge of it,
threatened against or affecting it or any of its subsidiaries, Joint Ventures or
any business, Property or rights of it or any of its subsidiaries or Joint
Ventures that ii) if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect (other than
the Disclosed Matters) or iii) could reasonably be expected to adversely affect
any rights or remedies of the Secured Parties under any Loan Document or the
Transactions.

     

    (b)         Since
the Effective Date, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed
Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially
increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

Agreements.  It and each of its subsidiaries and Joint Ventures
is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental
Authority and all indentures, agreements and other instruments applicable to or

paid, collected or remitted all material Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax
return) due and payable, collectible and remittable by it or such subsidiary and

Taxes that (i)  if Taxes of a Borrower Party, are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which it or such Restricted
Subsidiary has set aside on its books and records adequate reserves in

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  It and each
of its subsidiaries and Joint Ventures (other than those Joint Ventures that do
not prepare GAAP financial statements) has made adequate provision in accordance

so, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.  Neither it nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries is aware of any proposed or pending Tax assessments, deficiencies
or audits relating to it or any of its subsidiaries or Joint Ventures that could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

ERISA Affiliate has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding
standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance
in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code with respect to each Plan.  Except as could not reasonably be

waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect
of any Plan, o) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or

instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its
subsidiaries is subject (and all other matters known to it) that, individually

Effect.  No written information, report, financial statement,
certificate, Borrowing Request, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of
it or any of its subsidiaries or Joint Ventures to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents or included
therein or delivered thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, to the
extent such information relates to the business of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or
Joint Venture, as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that, with
respect to projected financial information, it represents only that such
information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time.

     

    SECTION
3.14    Insurance.  Schedule 3.14 hereto
contains an accurate and complete description of all material policies of fire,
liability, worker’s compensation and other forms of insurance that are owned or
held by or could accrue to the account of it and its subsidiaries and Joint
Ventures as of the
Effective Date.  All such policies are in full force and effect, all
premiums with respect thereto covering all periods up to and including the
Effective Date have been paid, and no notice of cancellation or termination has
been received with respect to any such policy, in each case, except with respect
to any such policies of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture as could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  Such policies q) are sufficient for compliance with
all Governmental Requirements and all agreements to which it is a party, r) are
valid, outstanding and enforceable policies, s) provide adequate insurance
coverage for the assets and operations of it and its subsidiaries in at least such amounts
and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability) as
are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the
same or similar business, t) will remain in full force and effect through the
respective dates set forth in Schedule 3.14 without
the payment of additional premiums, except for policies for which premiums were
based on estimated amounts and are subject to periodic adjustments, and u) will
not in any way be affected by, or terminate or lapse by reason of, the
Transactions except, in the case of (a) through (e) to the extent such policies
relate to the business of any Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, as could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  On or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall
have used commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurance policies
relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) provide
that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material change in
coverage thereof shall be effective until at least thirty days after receipt by
the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, and (ii) name the
Administrative Agent as mortgagee (in the case of Real Property or, as
applicable, Pipeline insurance) or additional insured on behalf of the Secured
Parties (in the case of liability insurance) or loss payee (in the case of
personal Property insurance), as applicable.

3.15    Material
Agreements.  Schedule 3.15 hereto
contains a complete and correct list of all Material Agreements of it and its
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Loan Documents) in effect as of the

efforts to cause such insurance to viii) provide that no cancellation, material

area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (or any successor agency), and otherwise comply with the

obligations.

     

    (b)         It

under a loan agreement, note, lease, instrument or other agreement that

Subsidiary as a Non-Recourse Obligation (for the avoidance of doubt, this clause
(ii) is not intended to limit the restrictions set forth in Section 5.13 or
Section 6.04 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents); provided that no such
agreement, note, lease, instrument or other agreement shall be required to
include such statement if such agreement, note, lease, instrument or other
agreement was in effect on the date such Person became an Unrestricted
Subsidiary.

     

    (c)         Notwithstanding
any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Borrower and the other
Borrower Parties may incur Guarantee obligations in the ordinary course of
business consisting of Guarantees of performance obligations of Unrestricted
Subsidiaries as long as such Guarantees do not constitute Guarantees of payment
or Guarantees of performance of obligations that would result in the payment of
any Indebtedness; provided, that the
amount that has been or could reasonably be expected to be incurred pursuant to
all such performance Guarantees is not greater than $200,000 in the
aggregate.

    PARENT
GUARANTEE

     

    SECTION
8.01     Parent
Guarantee.

     

    (a)         The
Parent ix) absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective
successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment
and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations and x)indemnifies and
holds harmless each Lender from, and agrees to pay to such Lender, all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses)
incurred by such Lender in enforcing any of its rights under the guarantee
contained in this Section 8.01.  The Parent agrees that
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing the payment
by the Borrower of all or any portion of the Secured Obligations and
notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Secured Obligations may be
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower, such Secured
Obligations shall nevertheless be due and payable by the Parent for the purposes
of this guarantee at the time such Secured Obligations would by payable by the
Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any enforcement of this guarantee with respect to the rights of any
Lender shall be accomplished by the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of
such Lender.  The guarantee contained in this Section 8.01 is a
guarantee of payment and not collection, and the liability of the Parent is
primary and not secondary.

     

    (b)         The
Parent agrees that if the maturity of the Secured Obligations is accelerated by
bankruptcy or otherwise, such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the
purpose of this guarantee without demand or notice to the Parent.  The
guarantee contained in this Section 8.01 is a continuing guarantee and shall
remain in full force and effect until all the Secured Obligations and the
obligations of the Parent under the guarantee contained in this Section 8.01
shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall
be outstanding and the Committed Amount shall be terminated, notwithstanding
that from time to time during the term of this Agreement the Borrower may be
free from any Secured Obligations.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        97

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c)         No
payment made by the Borrower, the Parent, any other guarantor or any other
Person or received or collected by any Lender from the Borrower, the Parent, any
other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify,
reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Parent hereunder which
shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by the
Borrower or Parent in respect of the Secured Obligations or any payment received
or collected from the Borrower or Parent in respect of the Secured Obligations),
remain liable for the Secured Obligations until, subject to Section 8.05, the
Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding and the Committed Amount are terminated.

     

    SECTION
8.02    Subrogation.  The
Parent shall be subrogated to all the rights of any Lender against the Borrower
in respect of any amounts paid by the Parent pursuant to the provisions of the
guarantee contained in Section 8.01; provided that the
Parent shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out
of, or based upon, such right of subrogation with respect to any of the Secured
Obligations until all of the Secured Obligations and the Guarantees thereof
shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or discharged.

     

    SECTION
8.03     Amendments, etc. with
respect to the Secured Obligations.  The Parent shall remain
obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights
against the Parent and without notice to or further assent by the Parent, any
demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by any Lender may be
rescinded by such Lender and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the
Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part
thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset
with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed,
extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or
released by any Lender, and any Loan Document and any other document executed
and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to
time, and any Collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held
by any Lender for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released.  Except as required by applicable
Governmental Requirements, no Lender shall have any obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the
Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in 0 or any Property subject
thereto.

     

    SECTION
8.04    Guarantee Absolute and
Unconditional.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Governmental Requirements, the Parent hereby (1) waives diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration,
notice of acceptance, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger,
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower or the Parent, and all demands and
notices whatsoever, (2) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document
evidencing the Parent Obligations may be transferred and that the benefit of its
obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument
or document evidencing the Parent Obligations without notice to them and (3)
covenants that the Parent Obligations will not be discharged except by complete
performance thereof.  The Parent further agrees that to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, if at any time all or
any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to any of the Parent
Obligations is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever,
including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Parent, such Parent Obligations shall, to the extent that such payment is or
must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence
notwithstanding such application, and the Parent Obligations shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application
had not been made.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        98

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, the
obligations of the Parent under this guarantee shall be as aforesaid full,
irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified,
discharged, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever,
including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver,
renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the
obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or the Parent contained in any of
the Secured Obligations or this Agreement, (ii) any impairment, modification,
release or limitation of the liability of the Borrower, the Parent or any of

Administrative Agent and the Arrangers.  The Administrative
Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Borrower Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent or the Arrangers.  The Administrative Agent may
deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof for all purposes
unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall
have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent and the Arrangers shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless the
Administrative Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable, shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where unanimous consent of
the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as the Administrative
Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable, deem appropriate or the Administrative
Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable, shall first be indemnified to their
respective satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.  The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required
Lenders (or, where unanimous consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders is
expressly required hereunder, such Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable),
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the
Loans.

     

    SECTION
9.05    Notice of
Default.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor either Arranger
shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or such Arranger,
respectively, has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that the
Administrative Agent or either Arranger receives such a notice, the
Administrative Agent or such Arranger shall give notice thereof to the
Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the
Required Lenders; provided that unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the
Lenders.

    SECTION
9.06     Non-Reliance on
Administrative Agent or the Arrangers and Other Lenders.  Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or the
Arrangers, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates, has made any representations or warranties to
it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers hereafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the
Arrangers to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative
Agent and the Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower Party and made its own
decision to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this
Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself
as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of each Borrower Party.  Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent or the Arrangers hereunder, none of the Administrative
Agent nor the Arrangers shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of
any Borrower Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative
Agent or the Arrangers or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

     

    SECTION
9.07     Indemnification.  The
Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers in their
capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their
respective Committed Amounts in effect on the date on which indemnification is
sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any
time following the payment of the obligations under this Agreement) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers in
any way relating to or arising out of, the Committed Amounts, this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any
action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers under or in
connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or
the Arrangers’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements
in this subsection shall survive the payment of all obligations under this
Agreement and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     

    SECTION
9.08     Administrative Agent and
Arrangers in Their Respective Individual Capacities.  The
Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and its or their Affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
any Borrower Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the
Administrative Agent, and the Arrangers were not the Arrangers, hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents.  With respect to the Loans made and
Letters of Credit issued by it, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though the Administrative
Agent was not the Administrative Agent, and the Arrangers were not the
Arrangers, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each of the
Administrative Agent and each Arranger in its individual capacity.

    SECTION
9.09    Successor Administrative
Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative
Agent upon thirty days’ notice to the Lenders.  If the Administrative
Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (or as Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties under the
Security Documents), then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent, with the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent hereunder and or thereunder, as applicable.  Effective upon such
appointment and approval, the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such
successor agent, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties
as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to
this Agreement, any holders of the Loans or any Secured Party.  After
any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent may
be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders (which for
this purpose, shall not include the Loans or the Committed Amount of the
Administrative Agent), provided that on the
effectiveness of such removal the Secured Obligations owing to such
Administrative Agent as a Lender are repaid in full and as an Issuing Bank are
cash collateralized or otherwise secured.  If the Administrative Agent
is removed, the procedures set forth in this Section 9.09 shall apply in
appointing a successor Administrative Agent.

     

    SECTION
9.10     Successor
Arranger.  Either Arranger may resign as Arranger upon thirty
days’ notice to the Lenders.  If an Arranger shall resign as Arranger
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor arranger for the Lenders, which
successor arranger, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of such Arranger hereunder and or thereunder, as
applicable.  Effective upon such appointment and approval, the term
“Arranger” shall include such successor arranger, and the former Arranger’s
rights, powers and duties as Arranger shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such former Arranger or any of the parties to
this Agreement, any holders of the Loans or any Secured Party.  After
any retiring Arranger’s resignation as Arranger, the provisions of this Article
IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Arranger under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  Either Arranger may be removed at any time with or without
cause by the Required Lenders (which for this purpose, shall not include the
Loans or the Committed Amount of such Arranger), provided that on the
effectiveness of such removal the Secured Obligations owing to such Arranger as
a Lender are repaid in full and as an Issuing Bank are cash collateralized or
otherwise secured.  If either Arranger is removed, the procedures set
forth in this Section 9.10 shall apply in appointing a successor
Arranger.

9.12     Collateral
Matters.

     

    (a)         Each
Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the
Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured
Parties.  Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by
the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set
forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the NEJD Intercompany
Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set
forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the
Lenders.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of
all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent
from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any
action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents, or NEJD
Intercompany Collateral or the NEJD Intercompany Security Documents which may be
necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens
upon the Collateral and the NEJD Intercompany Collateral granted pursuant to the
Security Documents and the NEJD Intercompany Security Documents.

     

    (b)         The
Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
upon any Collateral or the NEJD Intercompany Collateral (i) upon termination of
the Committed Amounts and payment and satisfaction of all of the Secured
Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the
Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii)
constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in
compliance with Section 6.06, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent
required by Section 13.12) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the
relevant Security Documents or the NEJD Intercompany Security
Documents.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the
Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release
particular types or items of Collateral or NEJD Intercompany Collateral pursuant
to this Section 9.11.

     

    (c)         The
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to
any other Person to assure that the Collateral or the NEJD Intercompany
Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower Party or any other grantor of a
Lien under the Security Documents or the NEJD Intercompany Security Documents)
or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at
all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of
the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative
Agent in this Section 9.11 or in any of the Security Documents or the NEJD
Intercompany Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect
of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the
Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole
discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral and
the NEJD Intercompany Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders,
except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

10.02   Waivers;
Amendments.

     

    (a)         No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Arranger or
any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent,
any Issuing Banks, the Arrangers and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise
have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as
a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any
Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time.

     

    (b)         Neither
this Agreement nor any Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended or modified (except as expressly set forth herein or therein)
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrower and any affected Borrower Party and the General Partner, as applicable,
on the one hand, and the Required Lenders, on the other hand, or by the Borrower
and any affected Borrower Party and the General Partner, as applicable, on the
one hand, and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders,
on the other hand; provided that no such
agreement shall xi) increase the Committed Amount of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, xii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder (other than the definition of Consolidated Leverage Ratio and
the other defined terms that are components thereof whether or not the effect of
such waiver, amendment or modification could reasonably be expected to result in
reducing the amount of interest or fees payable hereunder)  without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, xiii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC

written consent of each Lender, xv) change any of the provisions of this Section
or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any

compliance with this Agreement) or xvii) release all or substantially all of the

such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of
the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Issuing Bank hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (y) any amendment, waiver, or modification

party to a Secured Hedging Agreement and expressly impacts such Lender or
Affiliate in such capacity in a different manner than the Lenders are impacted

their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan
Document) enter into any waiver, amendment or modification of any Loan Document,

    (b)         The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Issuing
Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of xxi) the

agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of
the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, xxii) any Loan

Borrower Party or by the General Partner, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.

     

    (c)         To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent, either Arranger or any Issuing Bank under paragraph

Administrative Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
such Lender’s Ratable Portion (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that
the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as
such.

     

    (d)         To
the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, no Borrower Party
shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof.

    SECTION
10.04   Successors and
Assigns.

     

    (a)         This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, all future holders of the
Loans and any notes hereunder and their respective successors and assigns,
except that neither the Borrower nor the Parent may assign or transfer any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of each Lender.

     

    (b)         Any
Lender may, in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements and at no
cost or expense to the Borrower, at any time sell to one or more banks or other
entities (“Participants”)
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Committed Amount
of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a
participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof,
(iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan (and any note
evidencing such Loan) for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (iv) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (v) in any
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, the Lender shall be, to the extent
permitted by Governmental Requirements, the sole representative with respect to
the obligations held in the name of such Lender, whether for its own account or
for the account of any Participant.  No Lender shall be entitled to
create in favor of any Participant, in the participation agreement pursuant to
which such Participant’s participating interest shall be created or otherwise,
any right to vote on, consent to or approve any matter relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document except for those specified the first
proviso to Section 10.02(b) if it affects such Participant.  The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 with respect to its participation in the Committed
Amounts and the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time as if
it was a Lender; provided that, in the
case of Section 2.17, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements
of said section and provided further that
no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any
such section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in
respect of such amount of the participation transferred by such transferor
Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

     

    (c)         Any
Lender may, in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements, at any time
and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof or, with the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing
Bank (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an additional
bank or financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any
part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents including its Committed Amount, Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant
to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender
(and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender, by the Borrower, the Parent, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing
Bank) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording
in the Register, provided that xxv)
(unless the Borrower, the Parent, and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent
in writing) no such transfer to any Assignee (other than a Lender or any
Affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount less than
$5,000,000 in the aggregate (or, if less, the full amount of such assigning
Lender’s Committed Amount, Loans and Letters of Credit), and xxvi) if any Lender
assigns all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to
one of its Affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or
other disposition of its interest in such Affiliate, the Borrower’s prior
written consent shall be required for such assignment (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld).  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights
and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Committed Amount as set forth
therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided
in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto).  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.04(c) or
Section 10.04(e) to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower shall not be
required, and, unless requested by the Assignee and/or assigning Lender, new
notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by the Borrower, for
any assignment which occurs at any time when any Default shall have occurred and
be continuing.

    (d)         The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address
of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Committed Amounts of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to
time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may (and in the case of any Loan or obligation hereunder not evidence by a note,
shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of
a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.  Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder
not evidenced by a note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with
respect thereto being made in the Register.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     

    (e)         Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no assignment under Section 10.04(c)
of any rights or obligations under or in respect of any Loans, any notes or the
Letters of Credit shall be effective unless the Administrative Agent shall have
recorded the assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(d).  Upon its
receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an
Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower, the Parent, and the Administrative Agent)
together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and
processing fee of $3,500 (other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to
an Affiliate of such Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept
such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined
pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and
give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the
Borrower.  On or prior to such effective date, the assigning Lender
shall surrender any outstanding notes held by it all or a portion of which are
being assigned, and the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, upon the request to
the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender or the Assignee, as applicable,
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the outstanding
notes of the assigning Lender) a new note to the order of such Assignee in an
amount equal to the amount of such Assignee’s Committed Amount after giving
effect to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has
retained a Committed Amount hereunder, a new note to the order of the assigning
Lender in an amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Committed Amount after
giving effect to such Assignment and Acceptance.  Any such new notes
shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the note
replaced thereby.  Any notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall
be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked
“canceled.”

    (f)         The
Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee
(each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferees any and all financial
information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower Parties and
their Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by
or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation
of the Borrower Parties and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this
Agreement.

     

    (g)         For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
provisions of this Section 10.04 concerning assignments of Loans and notes
relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit
assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a
Lender or any Loan or note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
applicable Governmental Requirements.

     

    SECTION
10.05  Survival.  All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and
the Parent herein and in the certificates or other
instruments  delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any
fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid
or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Committed Amounts have
not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Section 2.15, Section
2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Committed Amounts or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.

     

    SECTION
10.06   Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract.  This Agreement and any separate letter agreements
with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

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

     

    SECTION
10.08  Right
of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower Party
against any of and all the obligations of any Borrower Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

such service or any judgment based thereon.  Each Borrower Party
hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit,
action or proceeding in such courts against it by the mailing thereof by the
Administrative Agent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its

    SECTION
10.16   Acknowledgments.  The
Borrower and Parent each hereby acknowledge that:

     

    (a)         it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this

    (b)         neither
the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to the Borrower or the Parent arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and
the Borrower and the Parent on the other hand, in connection herewith or
therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

     

    (c)         no

Reorganization.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in the Loan Documents, the Borrower and the other Borrower Parties shall
have the right from time to time to consummate the Planned Reorganization; provided that, after
giving effect thereto, the Borrower Parties shall be in compliance with Section
5.10 and Section 5.11 and provided that the
Planned Reorganization shall not have an adverse effect on the Lenders or their

Binding Effect.

     

    (a)         On
the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated
in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall
thereafter be of no further force and effect, except that the Parent, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that (i) the incurrence
by the Borrower of “Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement (whether or not such “Indebtedness” is contingent as of the Effective
Date) shall continue to exist under and be evidenced by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, (ii) the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to
evidence the representations and warranties made by the Parent and the Borrower
prior to the Effective Date, (iii) except as expressly stated herein or amended,
the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed as remaining unmodified and
in full force and effect with respect to all Secured Obligations, and (iv) the
Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to evidence any action or omission
performed or required to be performed pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement
prior to the Effective Date (including any failure, prior to the Effective Date,
to comply with the covenants contained in the Existing Credit
Agreement).  The amendments and restatements set forth herein shall
not cure any breach thereof or any “Default” or “Event of Default” under and as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement existing prior to the Effective
Date.  This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a
novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit
Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and
liabilities.

    (b)         The
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s, the
Lenders’ and the Issuing Banks’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the Indebtedness incurred under the
Existing Credit Agreement and the Letters of Credit issued
thereunder.

     

    (c)         On
and after the Effective Date, (i) all references to the Existing Credit
Agreement (or to any amendment or any amendment and restatement thereof) in the
Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the
Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references
to any section (or subsection) of the Existing Credit Agreement or in any Loan
Document (but not herein) shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis, references
to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the
context otherwise provides, on or after the Effective Date, all references to
this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and
reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be references to the Existing Credit
Agreement, as amended and restated hereby.

     

    (d)         This
amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any
other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar and, except as
expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect unless
specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.

Lender authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into each of
(a) the NEJD Consent and the NEJD Intercompany Consent and (b) in the event the
