SECTION 3.2 Priority of Liens. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein (other than Section 3.1 above) or in any of the other Secured Debt Documents, the parties hereto agree that:

For avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent shall not have any Lien or other interest in the Escrow Account (and in each case the funds and other property deposited therein or credited thereto) described in the foregoing clause (c).

(2) as necessary to redeem any Shared Collateral in a creditor’s redemption permitted under Section 9-623 of the UCC (provided that any such redemption results in a Discharge of ISDA Obligations) or to deliver any notice or demand necessary to enforce (subject to the prior Discharge of ISDA Obligations) any right to claim, take or receive proceeds of Shared Collateral remaining after the Discharge of ISDA Obligations in the event of foreclosure;

(3) as necessary to perfect or establish the priority (subject to Liens securing the ISDA Obligations) of the Liens securing the Junior Notes Obligations and Junior Notes Guarantee upon any Shared Collateral; provided that the Junior Notes Trustee may not require the Facility Agent or any other Holder of ISDA Obligations to relinquish possession or control of any Shared Collateral; and

(c) At any time prior to the Discharge of ISDA Obligations, no payment of money (or the equivalent of money) will be made from the proceeds of Shared Collateral by Holdings or any other Pledgor to the Junior Note Trustee or any Holder of Junior Notes (including, without limitation, payments and prepayments made for application to Junior Notes and all other payments and deposits made pursuant to any provision of any Junior Notes Document).

(d) All proceeds of Shared Collateral received by the Junior Note Trustee or any Holder of Junior Notes at any time prior to the Discharge of ISDA Obligations in violation of Section 3.4(c) will be held in trust by the Junior Note Trustee or the applicable Holder of Junior Notes for the account of the Holders of ISDA Obligations and remitted to the Facility Agent upon demand by the Facility Agent. The Liens securing the Junior Notes Obligations will remain attached to and enforceable against all proceeds so held or remitted. All proceeds of Shared Collateral received by the Junior Notes Trustee or the Holders of the Junior Notes not in violation of Section 3.4(c) will be received by such recipient free from the Liens securing the ISDA Obligations and all other Liens.

(e) No Secured Party will challenge the validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of any Lien of any other Secured Party.

SECTION 3.5 Waiver of Right of Marshalling.

SECTION 3.7 Discretion in Enforcement of ISDA Obligations. Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 3.4, the Holders of ISDA Obligations and the Facility Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to Holders of Junior Notes or the Junior Notes Trustee, without incurring responsibility to Holders of Junior Notes and the Junior Notes Trustee and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of Holders of Junior Notes and the Junior Notes Trustee, do any one or more of the following:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, the ISDA Obligations, enter into transactions under the ISDA Documents or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner the ISDA Obligations, or any instrument evidencing the ISDA Obligations or any agreement under which the ISDA Obligations are outstanding or amend, restate or modify in any way the terms and conditions of any trade or transaction which is from time to time entered into between the Facility Agent and Holdings or any Pledgor under the ISDA Documents or any transaction or arrangement made by the Facility Agent with a third party either on behalf of Holdings or any Pledgor or which benefits Holdings or any Pledgor;

(2) approving a debtor-in-possession financing secured by a Lien that is senior to or on a parity with all ISDA Liens upon any property of the estate in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding;

(3) granting any relief on account of ISDA Obligations as adequate protection (or its equivalent) for the benefit of the Holders of ISDA Obligations in any Collateral subject to ISDA Liens; or

(4) relating to a sale of assets of Holdings or any other Pledgor that provides, to the extent the assets sold are to be free and clear of Liens, that all ISDA Liens and Junior Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale,

then, the Holders of Junior Notes, in their capacity as Holders or representatives of secured claims, and the Junior Notes Trustee, subject to their rights under Section 3.3(c)(v) and (vi), will not oppose or otherwise contest the entry of such order, so long as none of the Holders of ISDA Obligations or the Facility Agent in any respect opposes or otherwise contests any request made by any Holder of Junior Notes or the Junior Notes Trustee for the grant to the Junior Notes Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Junior Notes, of Junior Liens upon any property on which Liens are (or will be) granted under such order to secure the ISDA Obligations, co-extensive in all respects with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 3.2) to, such Lien and all ISDA Liens on such property (and, in the case of the Holders of Junior Notes, subordinated to the Lien on such Collateral securing the ISDA Obligations).

(b) The Holders of Junior Notes or the Junior Notes Trustee will not file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable request for relief) based upon their interest in the Shared Collateral under the Junior Liens, except that:

(1) they may freely seek and obtain relief: (A) granting a junior Lien co-extensive in all respects with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 3.2) to, all Liens granted in the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to, or for the benefit of, the Holders of ISDA Obligations; or (B) in connection with the confirmation of any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan; and

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement will govern.”

provided, however, that if the jurisdiction in which any such Junior Notes Document will be filed prohibits the inclusion of the language above or would prevent a document containing such language from being recorded, the Junior Notes Trustee and the Facility Agent agree, prior to such Junior Notes Document being entered into, to negotiate in good faith replacement language stating that the lien and security interest granted under such Junior Notes Document is subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.2 The Escrow Account.

(a) Holdings may deposit the Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account. So long as no ISDA Default has occurred and is continuing, if funds are drawn out of the Escrow Account to pay interest of the Junior Notes or related Tax Gross-Up Amounts, Holdings shall have the right to fund the Escrow Account in an amount such that the funds in the Escrow Account will be equal to the Escrow Amount, notwithstanding Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b).

(b) If Holdings has not made a payment of interest on the Junior Notes or related Tax Gross-Up Amounts on or before the 30th day after an interest payment due date, the Junior Notes Trustee may draw upon the Escrow Account to make the required interest payment and related Tax Gross-Up Amounts.

(c) If no Default or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing, Holdings may withdraw any interest accrued on the Escrow Amount on a monthly basis.

Failure to mail a notice or communication to a holder of Secured Debt or any defect in it will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other holders of Secured Debt.

If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

SECTION 6.9 Notice Following Discharge of ISDA Obligations. Promptly following the Discharge of ISDA Obligations, the Facility Agent will provide written notice of such Discharge of ISDA Obligations to the Junior Notes Trustee.

SECTION 6.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement states the complete agreement of the parties relating to the matters set forth herein and supersedes all oral negotiations and prior writings in respect of such undertaking. In the event of any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and any such agreement, document or instrument or any Secured Debt Document, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

SECTION 6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in all other respects and of all remaining provisions, and of such provision in all other jurisdictions, will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 6.13 Obligations Secured. All obligations of the Pledgors set forth in or arising under this Agreement will be Secured Obligations.

SECTION 6.14 Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1402 AND SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

SECTION 6.15 Consent to Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this contract, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.14, the arbitration and this clause shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York, United States of America, and it shall be conducted in the English language. The parties submit to jurisdiction in the state and federal courts in the State, County and City of New York for the limited purpose of enforcing this agreement to arbitrate.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by three neutral arbitrators, who shall be appointed by the AAA. The arbitrators shall be impartial and independent.

(c) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving any of the parties hereto relating to this Agreement or to the Related Agreements (whether or not such other proceeding involves all of the parties hereto). The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the various arbitrations so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings and (ii) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and the tribunal constituted under any other Related Agreement, the ruling of the arbitration tribunal governing the first proceeding to have been filed shall control. In the event of the consolidation of one or more proceedings pursuant to this subsection, the arbitration tribunal governing the first such proceeding to have been filed shall govern the consolidated proceeding unless otherwise agreed by all parties to the proceedings being consolidated. Solely for purposes of this subsection (c), (i) a proceeding shall be deemed to have been filed when the related demand for arbitration is served by the complaining party and (ii) in the event that two proceedings shall have been filed on the same day, the proceeding involving the largest dollar amount in dispute shall be deemed to have been the first filed.

(d) The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.

SECTION 6.16 Waiver of Certain Damages. NO PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ANY RECOVERY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES. THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 6.17 Certain Understandings. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the Facility Agent will engage in transactions with Holdings and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Master ISDAs. Neither this Agreement nor the Master ISDAs shall preclude the Facility Agent from engaging in transactions of a nature like the transactions contemplated by the Master ISDAs with any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, each party acknowledges that the Facility Agent is engaged in, among other things, dealing in fuel, and power and related commodities for its own account in the U.S. wholesale fuel and power markets, and manages positions in fuel and power and related commodities for others. The Facility Agent may (i) take actions under the Master ISDAs that may be different than the actions the Facility Agent takes for its own account or for the account of others, even though the circumstances may be the same or similar and (ii) effect transactions with counterparties that are also counterparties to other transactions in fuel and/or power or related commodities with the Facility Agent or for which the Facility Agent is acting in an agency capacity. The Facility Agent and/or its Affiliates may from time to time take proprietary positions and/or make a market in commodities and/or instruments identical or economically related to the transactions contemplated by the Master ISDAs, or may have an investment banking or other commercial relationship with and access to information from the issuer(s) of financial instruments or other interests underlying such transactions during

the term of the Master ISDAs. The Facility Agent and/or its Affiliates may also undertake lawful proprietary activities, including hedging transactions related to the initiation or termination of a transaction, that may adversely affect the market price, rate, index or other market factor(s) underlying the transactions contemplated by the Master ISDAs and consequently the value of the transactions contemplated by the Master ISDAs. The parties acknowledge that the relationship between the Facility Agent and Holdings and its Subsidiaries is a commercial and not a fiduciary relationship and that neither the Master ISDAs nor this Agreement shall limit in any manner the ability of the Facility Agent to enter into any transaction of any nature with any other Person.

SECTION 6.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or in a pdf file), each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together will constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 6.19 Effectiveness. This Agreement will become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by each party of written notification of such execution and written or telephonic authorization of delivery thereof.

SECTION 6.20 Additional Pledgors. Holdings will cause each Person that becomes a Pledgor or is required by any Secured Debt Document to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the parties hereto an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. Holdings shall promptly provide each Secured Debt Representative with a copy of each Intercreditor Agreement Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 6.20.

SECTION 6.21 Termination; Reinstatement. This Agreement shall terminate, subject to reinstatement in accordance with this Section 6.21, upon the Discharge of ISDA Obligations. This Agreement, including the subordination provisions hereof, will be reinstated if at any time any payment or distribution in respect of any of the ISDA Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise by any Holder of ISDA Obligations or any representative of any such party (whether by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise). In the event that any representative or any Holder of any ISDA Obligation recovers all or any part of a payment or distribution made with respect to an ISDA Obligation in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, such representative or Holder, as the case may be, will forthwith deliver the same to the Facility Agent on behalf of the Holders of an ISDA Obligation, for the account of the such Holders of an ISDA Obligation, to be applied in accordance with Section 4.1. Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by the representative or Holder who received such proceeds, for the benefit of the Holders of an ISDA Obligation.

SECTION 6.22 Insolvency. This Agreement will be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Pledgor. The relative rights, as provided for in this Agreement, will continue after the commencement of any

such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the commencement of any such case, as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 6.23 Rights and Immunities of Secured Debt Representatives. The Facility Agent will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the ISDA Documents, the Junior Notes Trustee will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Junior Notes Documents, and any future Secured Debt Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the applicable Secured Debt with respect to which such Person will act as representative, in each case as if specifically set forth herein. In no event will any Secured Debt Representative be liable for any act or omission on the part of any other Secured Debt Representative, Holdings, or the other Pledgors hereunder.
