1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

2. Contribution.

(a) To the extent that a Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment (a “Payment”) of a portion of the Obligations, then the Borrower or Guarantor that made the Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, the other Contributing Parties in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount derived by subtracting from any such Payment the “Allocable Amount” (as defined herein) of such Contributing Party, and (b) the “Allocable Amount” (as defined herein) for the other Contributing Parties.

(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Contributing Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Contributing Party hereunder with respect to the applicable Payment without (i) rendering such Contributing Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or Section 2 of either the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the “UFTA”) or the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (the “UFCA”) or the fraudulent conveyance and transfer laws of the State of New York or such other jurisdiction whose laws shall be determined to apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Applicable State Fraudulent Conveyance Laws”), (ii) leaving such Contributing Party with unreasonably small capital, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA or the Applicable State Fraudulent Conveyance Laws, or (iii) leaving such Contributing Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 6 of the UFCA or the Applicable State Fraudulent Conveyance Laws.

The obligations of each Qualified ECP Contributing Party under this Section 3 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of the obligations of Guarantors under the Guaranty if such Qualified ECP Contributing Party is a Guarantor, or of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Hedge Documents if such Qualified ECP Contributing Party is the Borrower. Each Qualified ECP Contributing Party intends that this Section 3 constitute, and this Section 3 shall be deemed to constitute, a keepwell, support, or other agreement for the benefit of each other Contributing Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. For purposes of Section 3 of this Contribution Agreement, the term “Qualified ECP Contributing Party” means, in respect of any Hedge Obligation, each Contributing Party that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the

time the time such party becomes a party to the Guaranty or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Hedge Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

4. No Impairment. This Agreement is intended only to define the relative rights of the Contributing Parties, and nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended to or shall reduce or impair the obligations of any Contributing Party to pay any amounts, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents.

5. Rights Constitute Assets. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets in favor of each Contributing Party.

6. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution by each of the Contributing Parties and shall continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated or otherwise revoked by any Contributing Party until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full (in lawful money of the United States of America) and discharged, all Letters of Credit are returned undrawn, and the Credit Agreement and financing arrangements evidenced and governed by the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated.

7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CERTAIN DAMAGE CLAIMS. EACH OF BORROWER, GUARANTORS, AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
