Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Swap Amount is not due and owing on a Determination Date or does not actually become due and owing within 30 days of such Determination Date, and as a result of the inclusion of the Swap Amount in calculating a Swap Lender’s Proportionate Share, such Swap Lender receives a greater portion of any payment or other recovery with respect to the Collateral under any Security Documents than it would have if the Swap Amount had not been included in such calculation (such amount is herein called a “Security Document Excess Amount”), then such Swap Lender shall immediately purchase from each other Lender such participation(s) in the Indebtedness (and interest thereon) of the Company held by such other Lender that is secured under such other Lender’s Security Document in an amount equal to such other Lender’s Proportionate Share as of such Determination Date (after being recalculated to exclude the Swap Amount) of the Security Document Excess Amount plus such other Lender’s Proportionate Share of any interest earned by the Swap Lender on such Security Document Excess Amount.

The provisions of this Agreement are not intended, as among the Banks, to modify or amend the manner of application of funds as set forth in the Bank Agreement and related documents or to modify or amend the manner of application of funds as set forth in the Prudential Agreement and related documents. Any amounts distributable hereunder to a Lender shall be applied in accordance with the priorities set forth in the applicable Finance Documents, regardless of how such payments are characterized or the order of priority under this Section 8(d).

(e) Whenever Collateral Agent in good faith determines that it is uncertain about how to distribute to Lenders any funds which it has received, or whenever Collateral Agent in good faith determines that there is any dispute among Lenders about how such funds should be distributed, Collateral Agent may choose to defer distribution of the funds which are the subject of such uncertainty or dispute. If Collateral Agent in good faith believes that the uncertainty or dispute will not be promptly resolved, or if Collateral Agent is otherwise required to invest funds pending distribution to Lenders, Collateral Agent shall invest such funds pending distribution; all interest on any such investment shall be distributed upon the distribution of such investment and in the same proportion and to the same Persons as such investment. All moneys received by Collateral Agent for distribution to Lenders shall be held by Collateral Agent pending such distribution solely as Collateral Agent for such Lenders, and Collateral Agent shall have no equitable title to any portion thereof except in its separate capacity as a Lender.

9. Provisions Concerning Collateral Agent.

(a) Duties as Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Finance Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Finance Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any lien on or security interest in any Collateral (i) if the property subject to such lien or security interest is permitted to be sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to both the Bank Agreement and the Prudential Agreement or such lien is otherwise permitted to be released pursuant to such Credit Agreements and (ii) upon termination of and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, including but not limited to obligations of the Debtor Parties under the Swap Agreements that are not yet due).

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any Security Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) Liability of Collateral Agent. No Collateral Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any Security Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including but not limited to those arising from its own negligence (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Company, any of the Company’s Affiliates or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Security Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Security Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Security Document, or for any failure of the Company or any of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Collateral Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any Security Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably 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 counsel to the Company or any of its Affiliates), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Security Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its 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 Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any Security Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(e) Notice of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Acceleration Event or any “Default” or “Event of Default” under any Credit Agreement or Security Document (as “Default” or “Event of Default” is defined in each Credit Agreement and Security Document), except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Collateral Agent, acting in its

capacity as “Administrative Agent” under the Bank Agreement, as for the account of the Banks, or unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Company, describing such “Default” or “Event of Default” and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to the Collateral after any such “Default” or “Event of Default” as may be directed by the Majority Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until the Collateral Agent has received any such direction, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take such action with respect to such “Default” or “Event of Default”. Furthermore, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take action hereunder to the extent necessary to maintain insurance on the Collateral or otherwise protect the Collateral from damage or destruction.

(f) Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Collateral Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Collateral Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Company or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Collateral Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Collateral Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Collateral Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Affiliates, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into the Finance Documents and this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company under its Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Collateral Agent-Related Person 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 Finance Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Collateral Agent herein (or required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent, in its capacity as “Administrative Agent” under the Bank Agreement), the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Company or its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Collateral Agent-Related Person.

(g) Indemnification of Collateral Agent. The Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Collateral Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates and without limiting the obligation of the Company or any of its Affiliates to do so), to the extent of each Lender’s Proportionate Share, and hold harmless each Collateral Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it, including but not limited to those arising from its own negligence; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Collateral Agent-Related Person of

any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Collateral Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any Security Document to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that the obligations of each holder of a Prudential Note to Collateral Agent under this Section 9(g) shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral it receives hereunder, under the Security Documents or from any other source that is attributable to the Collateral.

(h) Collateral Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Collateral, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the Security Documents as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Collateral Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

(i) Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon not less than 60 days’ notice to the Lenders, with such resignation to take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of its appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder. In addition, the Majority Lenders may remove the Collateral Agent by giving written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent at least 30 days’ prior to the effective date of such removal. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment in writing within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or its removal, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which meets the eligibility requirements of Section 9(k), and the Debtor Parties agree to pay such reasonable fees and expenses of any such appointee as shall be necessary to induce such appointee to agree to become a successor Collateral Agent hereunder. Upon acceptance of appointment as Collateral Agent, such successor shall thereupon and forthwith succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers and

privileges, immunities and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent, upon the transferring and setting over to such successor Collateral Agent all rights, moneys and other collateral held by it in its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

(j) Succession of Successor Collateral Agent. Any successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Debtor Parties, the Banks, the holders of the Prudential Notes and the predecessor Collateral Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed, conveyance or transfer, shall become vested with the title to the Collateral, and with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the predecessor Collateral Agent in the trust hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Collateral Agent herein. Upon the request of any such successor Collateral Agent, the Debtor Parties and the predecessor Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurance reflecting terms consistent with the terms of the Finance Documents then in effect and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in such successor Collateral Agent its interest in the Collateral and all such rights, powers, duties and obligations of the predecessor Collateral Agent hereunder, and the predecessor Collateral Agent shall also promptly assign and deliver to the successor Collateral Agent any Collateral subject to the lien and security interest of this Agreement which may then be in its possession.

(k) Eligibility of Designated Replacement Collateral Agent. Any successor Collateral Agent appointed by a retiring Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9(i) shall be a state or national bank or trust company in good standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least $500,000,000 and whose certificates of deposit have a Satisfactory Rating, if there be such a bank or trust company willing and able to accept the duties hereunder upon reasonable and customary terms. As used in this Section 9(k), the term “Satisfactory Rating” means, with respect to any Person, that such Person and its bank deposits or other short term credit obligations have both a short-term bank deposit rating of Prime-2 or better from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. and a short term credit obligation rating of A-3 or better from Standard and Poor’s, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies.

(l) Successor Collateral Agent by Merger. Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any state or national bank or trust company in any manner succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent as a whole or substantially as a whole shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding.

10. Unconditional Agreement. This Agreement shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable agreement, and shall remain in full force and effect until

the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations, including but not limited to obligations of the Debtor Parties under Swap Agreements which are not yet due) satisfied in full, all obligations of all Lenders to the other Lenders hereunder shall have been satisfied in full and all Security Documents have been terminated. Each Lender agrees that this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the obligations of the Company, any of the Guarantors or any of the Additional Guarantors is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any of the Guarantors or any of the Additional Guarantors or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.

11. Representations and Warranties of Bank. In order to induce the Initial Prudential Noteholders to enter into this Agreement, each of the Banks and the Agent severally represent and warrant to the Initial Prudential Noteholders that it has full corporate power, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to fulfill its respective obligations hereunder, and that no governmental or other authorizations are required in connection herewith, and that this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, regulatory and similar laws of general application and by general principles of equity.

12. Representations and Warranties of the Initial Prudential Noteholders. In order to induce the Banks and the Agent to enter into this Agreement, each Initial Prudential Noteholder represents and warrants to the Banks and the Agent that it has full corporate power, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to fulfill its obligations hereunder, and that no governmental or other authorizations are required in connection herewith, and that this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, regulatory and similar laws of general application and by general principles of equity.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the Lenders and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) to any other person or entity the obligations of the Debtor Parties to such Lender (with respect to the Banks, subject to the provisions of the Bank Agreement and with respect to the holders of the Prudential Notes, subject to the Prudential Agreement), and such other person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all rights and benefits, and become subject to all the obligations, in respect thereof granted to or imposed upon such Lender under this Agreement, subject, however, to any contrary provisions in such assignment or transfer (with respect to the Banks, subject to the provisions of the Bank Agreement and with respect to the holders of the Prudential Notes, subject to the Prudential Agreement).

14. Benefit of Agreement. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any of the Debtor Parties or any other Person other than the Lenders; consequently, neither the Debtor Parties nor any other persons shall be entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a

defense, in any manner whatsoever, the provisions of this Agreement or the failure of any Lender to comply with such provisions.

15. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Lender herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Majority Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that without the consent of each Lender, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: (a) amend this Section 15, (b) amend the definition of Proportionate Share or (c) change Sections 2, 3, 6 or 8 in a manner that would alter the pari passu treatment of the security interests of the Lenders, the order of priority or the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby.

16. Notices. All notices and other communications provided to any Lender under this Agreement shall be in writing or by facsimile and addressed, delivered or transmitted to such Lender at its address or facsimile number set forth (a) on Annex 1 hereto, or (b) at such other address or facsimile number as may be designated by such Lender in a notice to the other Lenders. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid or if properly addressed and sent by prepaid courier service, shall be deemed given received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted if actually received, and the burden of proving receipt shall be on the transmitting Lender.

17. Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

18. Integration. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

19. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDES ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO.

20. JURY TRIAL. EACH LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER

ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY LENDER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE OTHER LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

21. Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Intercreditor Agreement.

22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may be duly executed by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their duly authorized officers.
