(e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank before the date of any Borrowing that such Bank shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to immediately repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest

rate applicable on such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be;provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the Borrower shall not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

Section 2.09.Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations made by it in excess of its Pro Rata Share, as applicable, of payments on account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations obtained by all the Banks, such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Advances made by them or Letter of Credit Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of the participation sold by such Bank to the purchasing Bank as a result of such excess payment to (b) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Bank’s required repayment to the purchasing Bank to (ii) the total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.09 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.10.Breakage Costs. If (a) any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, whether as a result of any payment pursuant to Section 2.04, the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article VII, or for any other reason or (b) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance on the date such payment is due and payable, the Borrower shall, within ten days of any written demand sent by any Bank to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent (which demand shall provide a statement explaining the amount and setting forth the computation of any such loss or expense), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts required to compensate such Bank for any additional losses, out-of-pocket costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain such Advance.

Section 2.11.Increased Costs.

(a) Eurodollar Rate Advances. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation occurring on or after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase occurring on or after the date of this Agreement in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time-to-time, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost;provided,

that, before making any such demand, such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in its reasonable judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and detailing the calculation of such cost submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy. If any Bank or Issuing Bank reasonably determines that its required compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank and that the amount of the capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend or such Issuing Bank’s commitment to issue the Letters of Credit and other commitments of this type, then, upon thirty days’ prior written notice by such Bank or Issuing Bank (with a copy of any such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time-to-time as specified by such Bank or Issuing Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank, in light of the circumstances, to the extent that such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, reasonably determines the increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend or such Issuing Bank’s commitment to issue the Letters of Credit under this Agreement. A certificate as to the amounts showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Bank or Issuing Bank shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error.

(c) Letters of Credit. If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, an Issuing Bank or (ii) impose on an Issuing Bank any other condition regarding the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letters of Credit or any Letter of Credit Obligations, and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase the cost to such Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be determined by such Issuing Bank’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such event), then, upon demand by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank for such increased cost. A certificate as to such increased cost incurred by such Issuing Bank, as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, and detailing the calculation of such increased costs submitted by such Issuing Bank to the Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.12.Taxes.

(a)No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.08, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all

present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision of the jurisdiction (all such income and franchise taxes collectively referred to as “Excluded Taxes”, and all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities other than the Excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Bank, any Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12), such Bank, such Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (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 taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(b)Indemnification.The Borrower hereby indemnifies each Bank, each Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by such Bank, such Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Each payment required to be made by the Borrower in respect of this indemnification shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any party claiming such indemnification within thirty days from the date the Borrower receives written demand therefor from the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself as Administrative Agent,suchIssuing Bank, or any such Bank.

(c) Foreign Bank Withholding Exemption. Each Bank and Issuing Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of this Agreement or upon, and as a condition to, the effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (ii) if applicable, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, and (iii) any other governmental forms which are necessary or required under an applicable tax treaty or otherwise by law to reduce or eliminate any withholding tax which have been reasonably requested by the Borrower. Each Bank which delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI and Form W-8 or W-9 pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of the said letter and Form W-

8BEN or W-8ECI and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. If an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery required by the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Bank from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Bank advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, such Bank shall not be required to deliver such letter or forms. The Borrower shall withhold tax at the rate and in the manner required by the laws of the United States with respect to payments made to a Bank failing to timely provide the requisite Internal Revenue Service forms.

Section 2.13.Letters of Credit.

(a) Commitment. From time to time from the date of this Agreement until the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, at the request of the Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, issue, increase, or extend the expiration date of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) on any Business Day. No Letter of Credit shall be issued, increased, or extended:

(i) unless such issuance, increase, or extension would not cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (A) $50,000,000.00 or (B) the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments;

(ii) unless such Letter of Credit has an Expiration Date not later than the earlier of (A) twelve months after the date of issuance thereof (or, if extendable beyond such period, unless such Letter of Credit is cancelable upon at least thirty days’ notice given by the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit) and (B) five days prior to the Revolver Termination Date;

(iii) unless such Letter of Credit Documents are in form and substance acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion;

(iv) unless such Letter of Credit is a standby letter of credit not supporting the repayment of indebtedness for borrowed money of any Person; and

(v) unless the Borrower has delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank a completed and executed Letter of Credit Application.

(b) Participations. Upon the date of the issuance or increase of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Bank and each other Bank shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in the related Letter of Credit Obligations equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share at such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each such participant Bank by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of Credit issued, increased, or extended or converted and the actual dollar amount of such Bank’s participation in such Letter of Credit.

(c) Issuing. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued, increased, or extended pursuant to a Letter of Credit Application (or by telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing by a Letter of Credit Application), given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the third Business Day before the date of the proposed issuance, increase, or extension of the Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent shall give to each Bank prompt notice thereof by telex, telephone or telecopy. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be given by telecopier or telex, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying the information required therein. After the applicable Issuing Bank’s receipt of such Letter of Credit Application and upon fulfillment (or waiver in writing) of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, such Issuing Bank shall issue, increase, or extend such Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary (other than a Restricted Subsidiary). Each Letter of Credit Application shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(d) Reimbursement. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay on demand to the applicable Issuing Bank an amount equal to any amount paid by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit. In the event an Issuing Bank makes a payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of Credit and such payment is not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower upon demand, such Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent notice of the Borrower’s failure to make such reimbursement and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the amount necessary to reimburse such Issuing Bank. Upon such notice from the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank for such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such amount and such reimbursement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be a Advance to the Borrower transferred at the Borrower’s request to such Issuing Bank. If such reimbursement is not made by any Bank to such Issuing Bank on the same day on which the Administrative Agent notifies such Bank to make reimbursement to such Issuing Bank hereunder, such Bank shall pay interest on its Pro Rata Share thereof to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent and the Banks to record and otherwise treat such reimbursements to such Issuing Bank as Reference Rate Advances under a Borrowing requested by the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Bank which have been transferred to such Issuing Bank at the Borrower’s request.

(e) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Documents;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to, departure from any Letter of Credit Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Bank, or any other person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent the applicable Issuing Bank would not be liable therefor pursuant to the following paragraph (f); or

(v) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

provided,however, that nothing contained in this paragraph (e) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any remedies of the Borrower in connection with the Letters of Credit or the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.13(f) below.

(f) Liability of Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:

(i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;

(ii) the validity, sufficiency, or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent, or forged;

(iii) payment by an Issuing Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or

(iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit(including an Issuing Bank’s own negligence),

except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by (A) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to

it of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(g) Cash Collateral Account.

(i) If the Borrower is required to deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 7.02(b), or 7.03(b), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall establish the Cash Collateral Account and the Borrower shall execute any documents and agreements that the Administrative Agent reasonably requests in connection therewith to establish the Cash Collateral Account and grant the Administrative Agent an Acceptable Security Interest in such account and the funds therein. The Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent and grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in (x) the Cash Collateral Account, whenever established, (y) all funds held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time, and (z) all proceeds thereof as security for the payment of the Obligations.

(ii) So long as no Event of Default exists, (A) the Administrative Agent may apply the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account only to the reimbursement of any Letter of Credit Obligations, and (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly release to the Borrower at the Borrower’s written request any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account in an amount up to but not exceeding the excess, if any (immediately prior to the release of any such funds), of the total amount of funds held in the Cash Collateral Account over the Letter of Credit Exposure. During the existence of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account to the Obligations in any order determined by the Administrative Agent, regardless of any Letter of Credit Exposure which may remain outstanding. The Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion at any time release to the Borrower any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any such funds.

Section 2.14.Commitment Increase.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.14, the Borrower may request that the amount of the aggregate Commitments be increased one or more times, in each case in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof;provided that, the aggregate Commitments may not exceed $200,000,000.

(b) Each such increase shall be effective, without the consent of any Bank (other than any Bank increasing its Commitment) only upon the following conditions being satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time thereof or would be caused thereby, (ii) either the Banks having Commitments hereunder at the time the increase is

requested agree to increase their Commitments in the amount of the requested increase or other financial institutions satisfying the definition of Eligible Assignee agree to make a Commitment in the amount of the difference between the amount of the increase requested by the Borrower and the amount by which the Banks having Commitments hereunder at the time the increase is requested are increasing their Commitments, (iii) such Banks and other financial institutions, if any, shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Commitment Increase Agreement or a New Bank Agreement, as applicable, and (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered such evidence of authority for the increase (including without limitation, certified resolutions of the applicable board of directors of the General Partner authorizing such increase) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(c) Each financing institution to be added to this Agreement as described in Section 2.14(b)(ii) above shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a New Bank Agreement, pursuant to which it becomes a party to this Agreement. Each Bank agreeing to increase its Commitment as described in Section 2.14(b)(ii) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Commitment Increase Agreement pursuant to which it increases its Commitment hereunder. In addition, a Responsible Officer shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for each Bank being added to this Agreement, a Note payable to such new Bank in the principal amount of the Commitment of such Bank, and for each Bank increasing its Commitment, a replacement Note payable to such Bank, in the principal amount of the increased Commitment of such Bank. Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of the pertinent New Lender Agreement or Commitment Increase Agreement. Upon execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Note and the execution by the Administrative Agent of the relevant New Lender Agreement or Commitment Increase Agreement, as the case may be, such new financing institution shall constitute a “Bank” hereunder with a Commitment as specified therein, or such existing Bank’s Commitment shall increase as specified therein, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent shall notify all Banks of such addition or increase, and the final allocations thereof, and provide a revisedSchedule 1.01(a) reflecting such additions or increase.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14, the Banks having Commitments hereunder at the time any such increase is requested shall have the first right, but shall not be obligated, to participate in such increase by agreeing to increase their respective Commitments by their Pro Rata Share to the extent of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall not, and shall not be obligated to, permit any financial institutions that do not have, at that time, Commitments hereunder to make commitments for portions of the requested increase not assumed by the Banks having Commitments hereunder until each of such Banks have agreed to increase their Commitments or declined to do so. To facilitate the Banks’ right of first refusal, the Borrower shall, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each Bank) given not less than 30 days prior to the requested effective date of the increase in Commitment (the “Increase Effective Date”), request that the Banks increase their Commitments. Each Bank shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not later than 15 days following receipt of the Borrower’s request, advise the Borrower whether or not it will increase its Commitment as of the Increase Effective Date. Any Bank that has not so advised the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such increase in its Commitment. The decision to increase its Commitment hereunder shall be at the sole discretion of each Bank.

Section 2.15.Replacement of Banks. If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 2.07(c), 2.11 or 2.12 to make any additional payment to any Bank or if any Bank’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Reference Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to 2.02(c)(ii) or 2.04(c) (any Bank so affected, an “Affected Bank”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Bank as a Bank party to this Agreement,provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; (b) such replacement shall be at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, including the payment of the administrative fee referenced in Section 9.06(a); (c) concurrently with such replacement, another bank or other entity (which entity shall be an Eligible Assignee) shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Bank pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A and to become a Bank for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Bank which as to the Affected Bank shall be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 9.06 applicable to assignments; and (d) concurrently with such replacement, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Bank in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Bank by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Bank under Sections 2.07(c), 2.11 and 2.12. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as applicable, or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 4.03.Governmental Approvals; Third Party Consents. No consent, order, authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any Person (other than the filings and notices required under or in connection with the Security Documents) is required for (a) the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ Property, except for (i) such consents, orders, authorizations, approvals, other actions, notices and filings as have been (or will be prior to the Effective Date) duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect and with which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects, or (ii) such consents, orders, authorizations, approvals, other actions, notices and filings for which the failure to obtain, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower or the Guarantors of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Credit Documents, except for such consents, orders, authorizations, approvals, other actions as will be obtained, taken, given or made prior to the Effective Date, or (c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 4.05.Financial Statements. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Banks copies of the Financial Statements, and the Financial Statements are

accurate and complete in all material respects and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Limited Partner and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of their respective dates and for their respective periods in accordance with GAAP. As of the date of the Financial Statements, there were no material contingent obligations, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long term commitments, or unrealized or anticipated losses of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except as disclosed therein and adequate reserves for such items have been made in accordance with GAAP. All projections, estimates, and pro forma financial information furnished by the Borrower were prepared on the basis of assumptions, data, information, tests, or conditions believed to be reasonable at the time such projections, estimates, and pro forma financial information were furnished. Since the date of the Financial Statements, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred, and no event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

Section 4.06.True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Partners in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Banks for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Partners in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Banks will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading at such time.

Section 4.07.Litigation. Except as set forth onSchedule 4.07, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened action or proceeding against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Partners before any court, Governmental Authority or arbitrator, including, without limitation, the FERC or any equivalent state regulatory agency, which could reasonably, individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which purports to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Credit Document. Additionally, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened action or proceeding instituted against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Partner which seeks to adjudicate the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Partner as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its Property.

Section 4.08.Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Borrowings will be used by the Borrower for (a) working capital purposes, (b) Acquisitions and the development of new projects, including, without limitation, any Capital Expansion Projects, (c) general corporate purposes including, without limitation, the making of capital expenditures, (d) to refinance Debt, if any, existing under the Existing Agreement and (e) the making of Distribution Payments in compliance with Section 6.05. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U). No proceeds of the Borrowings will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock in violation of Regulations D, T, U, or X.

Section 4.09.Investment Company Act. None of the General Partner, the Limited Partner, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 4.10.Taxes. All federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, reports and statements required to be filed (after giving effect to any extension granted in the time for filing) by the Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group (hereafter collectively called the “Tax Group”) have been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority in all jurisdictions in which such returns, reports, and statements are required to be filed, and all taxes (which are material in amount) and other impositions due and payable have been timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss may be added thereto for non-payment thereof except (a) where contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or (b) to the extent the failure to pay such, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Tax Group has given, or been requested to give, a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other impositions. None of the Property owned by the Borrower or any other member of the Tax Group is Property which the Borrower or any member of the Tax Group is required to treat as being owned by any other Person pursuant to the provisions of Section 168(f)(8) of the Code. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Borrower and all other members of the Tax Group from their employees for all periods to comply in all material respects with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and foreign law. Timely payment of all sales and use taxes required by applicable law have been made by the Borrower and all other members of the Tax Group, except to the extent that the failure to pay such, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.11.Pension Plans; ERISA. All Plans are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA. No Termination Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied with and been administered in all material respects in accordance with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred and there has been no excise tax imposed under Section 4971 of the Code. No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, and each Multiemployer Plan has complied with and been administered in all material respects with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan for which there is any withdrawal liability. As of the most recent valuation date applicable thereto, neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group has received notice that any Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization. Based upon GAAP existing as of the date of this Agreement and current factual circumstances, the Borrower has no reason to believe that the annual cost during the term of this Agreement to the Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group for post-retirement benefits to be provided to the current and former employees of the Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group under Plans that are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

Section 4.12.Insurance. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries carry the insurance required to be carried under Section 5.02 of this Agreement.

Section 4.13.No Burdensome Restrictions; No Defaults. None of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the General Partner, or the Limited Partner is a party to any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or partnership restriction or provision of any Legal Requirement which could reasonably, individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which could affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Credit Document. Except as set forth onSchedule 4.13, none of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the General Partner, or the Limited Partner is in default under or with respect to any material contract, agreement, lease or other instrument to which the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the General Partner, or the Limited Partner is a party.

Section 4.14.Environmental Condition. Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, (i) do not materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of Business, (ii) do not materially detract from the value or the use of the portion of the Pipeline Systems affected thereby and (iii) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

Without limiting the foregoing, (i) all necessary notices have been properly filed, and no further action is required under current Environmental Law as to each Response or other restoration or remedial project taken by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on any of their presently or formerly owned or operated real property and (ii) there is no material present and future liability, if any, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to arise in connection with requirements under Environmental

Laws. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has knowingly or willfully permitted the commission of waste or other injury or released Hazardous Substances on or about owned or operated property in violation of applicable Environmental Laws.

Section 4.15.Permits, Licenses, etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries possesses all authorizations, permits, licenses, patents, patent rights or licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names rights and copyrights which are necessary to conduct the Business.

No violations exist or have been recorded in respect of such authorizations, permits, licenses, patents, patent rights or licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names rights and copyrights, including, without limitation, any known conflict with the valid trademarks, trade names, copyrights or licenses of others which could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.16.Security Interests. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors listed onSchedule 4.16 is a “transmitting utility” within the meaning of Section 9.501(b) of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code. On the date of this Agreement, all governmental actions and all other filings, recordings, registrations, third party consents and other actions which are necessary to create and perfect the Liens provided for in the Security Documents will have been made, obtained and taken in all relevant jurisdictions, or satisfactory arrangements will have been made for all governmental actions and all other filings, recordings, registrations, third party consents, and other actions which are necessary to create and perfect the Liens provided for in the Security Documents to be made, obtained, or taken in all relevant jurisdictions. Upon the filing of the Security Documents, each of the Security Documents creates, as security for the Obligations purported to be secured thereby, an Acceptable Security Interest.

Section 4.17.Title, Etc.

(a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in all of their respective Property, including, without limitation, the real and personal property described in each of the Mortgages, as is necessary to operate the Business as reflected in the Financial Statements, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien, except Permitted Liens.

(b) The Pipeline Systems are covered by recorded fee deeds, rights of way, easements, leases, servitudes, permits, licenses, or other instruments (collectively, “rights of way”) in favor of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or their predecessors in interest) and their respective successors and assigns, except where the failure of the Pipeline Systems to be so covered, individually or in the aggregate, (i) does not materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of Business, (ii) does not materially detract from the value or the use of the portion of the Pipeline Systems which are not covered and (ii) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The rights of way establish a contiguous and continuous right of way for the Pipeline Systems and grant the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or their predecessors in interest) the right to construct, operate, and maintain the Pipeline Systems in, over, under, or across the land covered thereby in the same way that a prudent owner and operator would inspect, operate, repair, and maintain similar assets and in the same way as the Borrower has inspected, operated, repaired, and maintained the Pipeline Systems as reflected in the Financial Statements;provided,however, (A) some of the rights of way granted to the Borrower or its

Subsidiaries (or their predecessors in interest) by private parties and Governmental Authorities are revocable at the right of the applicable grantor, (B) some of the rights of way cross properties that are subject to liens in favor of third parties that have not been subordinated to the rights of way; and (C) some rights of way are subject to certain defects, limitations and restrictions;provided,further, none of the limitations, defects, and restrictions described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, individually or in the aggregate, (x) materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of Business, (y) materially detract from the value or the use of the portion of the Pipeline Systems which are covered or (z) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Terminals are covered by fee deeds, real property leases, or other instruments (collectively “deeds”) in favor of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or their predecessors in interest) and their respective successors and assigns. The deeds grant the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or their predecessors in interest) the right to construct, operate, and maintain the Terminals in, over, under, and across the land covered thereby in the same way that a prudent owner and operator would inspect, operate, repair, and maintain similar assets and in the same way as the Borrower has inspected, operated, repaired, and maintained the Terminals as reflected in the Financial Statements.

(d) There has been no and there is not presently any occurrence of any (i) breach or event of default on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any right of way or deed, (ii) to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, breach or event of default on the part of any other party to any right of way or deed, and (iii) event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such breach or event of default on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any right of way or deed or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the part of any other party thereto, in each case, to the extent any such breach or default, individually or in the aggregate, (A) materially interferes with the ordinary conduct of Business, (B) materially detracts from the value or the use of the portion of the Pipeline Systems covered thereby or (C) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The rights of way and deeds (to the extent applicable) are in full force and effect in all material respects and are valid and enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with their terms (subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws effecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability to the effect of general principles of equity) and all rental and other payments due thereunder by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, and their predecessors in interest have been duly paid in accordance with the terms of the deeds and rights of way (as such terms are defined in this Section 4.17) except to the extent that a failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, (x) does not materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of Business, (y) does not materially detract from the value or the use of the portion of the Pipeline Systems covered thereby and (z) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) The Pipeline Systems are located within the confines of the rights of way and do not encroach upon any adjoining property in any one or more material respects. The Terminals are located within the boundaries of the property affected by the deeds, leases or other instruments to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and do not encroach upon any adjoining property in any one or more material respects. The buildings and improvements owned or leased by the

Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the operation and maintenance thereof, do not (i) contravene any applicable zoning or building law or ordinance or other administrative regulation or (ii) violate any applicable restrictive covenant or any Legal Requirement, the contravention or violation of which would materially affect the use of the property subject thereto.

(f) The material Properties used or to be used in the Business or the continuing operations of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are in good repair, working order, and condition, normal wear and tear excepted. Neither the Business nor the Properties of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has been affected in any material and adverse manner as a result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, drought, windstorm, accident, strike or other labor disturbance, embargo, requisition or taking of Property or cancellation of contracts, permits or concessions by a Governmental Authority, riot, activities of armed forces or acts of God or of any public enemy.

(g) No eminent domain proceeding or taking has been commenced or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Pipeline Systems or the Terminals except for that which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) No portion of the Pipeline Systems or the Terminals has, since the date of this Agreement, suffered any material damage by fire or other casualty loss that has not heretofore been repaired and restored. No portion of the Terminals is located in a special flood hazard area as designated by any Governmental Authority.

Section 4.18.State and Federal Regulation.

(a) The interstate common carrier pipeline operations comprising a portion of the Pipeline Systems (the “Borrower Interstate Pipelines”) are subject to rate regulation by the FERC under the Interstate Commerce Act and the Energy Policy Act. With respect to that certain portion of the Borrower Interstate Pipelines that is located between Artesia, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas, (i) the rates on file with the FERC are just and reasonable pursuant to the Energy Policy Act and (ii) to the knowledge of the Borrower, no provision of the tariff containing such rates is unduly discriminatory or preferential. Except as set forth onSchedule 4.18(a), neither the Borrower, the Parent, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, nor any other Person that now owns or has owned an interest in any of the Borrower Interstate Pipelines has been or is the subject of a complaint, investigation or other proceeding regarding their respective rates or practices with respect to the Borrower Interstate Pipelines. No such complaint, petition, or other filing with the FERC, individually or in the aggregate, could result, if adversely determined to the position or interest of Borrower or its applicable Subsidiaries, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) With respect to those certain intrastate common carrier pipeline operations that comprise a portion of the Pipeline Systems, such pipeline operations in the State of Texas (the “Texas Intrastate Pipelines”) are subject to regulation by the Railroad Commission of Texas. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which owns pipelines and conducts pipeline operations in the State of Texas has followed prudent practice in the refined products transportation and distribution industries, as applicable, regarding the setting of rates for services provided and the implementation of such rates. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the rates charged by Borrower and

its Subsidiaries with respect to the Texas Intrastate Pipelines, as reflected in the Financial Statements, provide no more than a fair return on the aggregate value of the property used to render services on the Texas Intrastate Pipelines, and to the Borrower’s knowledge, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries uses, charges, imposes, or implements, or has previously done any of the foregoing in a discriminatory way. The Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries pipeline operations in the State of Idaho and in the State of New Mexico do not constitute intrastate common carrier pipeline operations and are not subject to regulation by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission or the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission. Except as set forth onSchedule 4.18(b), neither the Borrower, the Parent, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, nor any other party that now owns or has owned an interest in any of the Texas Intrastate Pipelines has been or is the subject of a complaint, investigation or other proceeding regarding their respective rates or practices with respect to the Texas Intrastate Pipelines.

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries is liable for any refunds or interest thereon as a result of an order from the FERC or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Pipeline Systems.

(c) The Borrower’s and any applicable Subsidiary’s report on Form 6 filed with the FERC complies as to form with all applicable legal requirements and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.15 of this Agreement, no certificate, license, permit, consent, authorization or order (to the extent not otherwise obtained) is required by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any Governmental Authority to construct, own, operate and maintain the Pipeline Systems, or to transport and/or distribute Refined Products under existing contracts and agreements as the Pipeline Systems are presently owned, operated and maintained.

Section 4.20.Title to Refined Products. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have title to any of the Refined Products or other petroleum products which are transported and/or distributed through the Pipeline Systems.

Section 4.21.Employee Matters. None of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreement, and no petition for certification or union election is pending with respect to the employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and, no union or collective bargaining unit has sought such certification or recognition with respect to the employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages, or controversies pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.22.Ownership.

(a) As of the date hereof, the General Partner is the sole general partner of the Borrower, and the Limited Partner is the sole limited partner of the Borrower. As of the date hereof, (i) the General Partner is the legal and beneficial owner of 0.001% of the partnership interests in the Borrower, and (ii) the Limited Partner is the legal and beneficial owner of 99.999% of the limited partnership interests in the Borrower and 100% of the membership interests in the General Partner. No part of the partnership interests in the Borrower or the membership interests of the General Partner is subject to any Lien, other than in favor of the Administrative Agent. After the Effective Date, the Borrower Partnership Agreement has not been amended, restated, supplemented, or revised other than in accordance with the terms of Section 6.09.

(b) As of the date hereof, the Equity Interests in the Guarantors and its Subsidiaries are legally and beneficially owned by the Persons, and by such Persons in the percentages, specified inSchedule 1.01(d).

under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks and all holders of Notes;provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or applicable law.

Section 8.03.The Administrative Agent and Its Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any of the Guarantors, and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any such Guarantor, all as if the Administrative Agent were not an agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

Section 8.04.Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based on the

Financial Statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

Section 8.05.Indemnification.The Banks severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the sole lead arranger, and each Affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), according to their respective Pro Rata Shares from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the sole lead arranger or any Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including the Administrative Agent’s and the applicable Issuing Bank’s own negligence), provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s, the sole lead arranger’s or the applicable Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the sole lead arranger and the issuing bank 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 other Credit Document, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such by the Borrower.

Section 8.06.Successor Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks upon receipt of written notice from the Majority Banks to such effect. Upon receipt of notice of any such resignation or removal, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank only with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks with the consent of the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Banks’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank may, on behalf of the Banks and the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, which shall be, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and

having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.00 and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank by a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, such successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, except that the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain the Issuing Bank with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding on the effective date of its resignation or removal and the provisions affecting such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit shall inure to the benefit of the retiring Issuing Bank until the termination of all such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

found by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. The covenants and indemnities provided in this section shall survive the repayment or any other satisfaction of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents.

Section 9.08.Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

All obligations of the Borrower provided for in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 9.04 and 9.07 and all of the obligations of the Banks in Section 2.09 and 8.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

Section 9.10.Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 9.11.Business Loans. The Borrower warrants and represents that the Advances evidenced by the Notes are and shall be for business, commercial, investment, or other similar purposes and not primarily for personal, family, household, or agricultural use, as such terms are used in Chapter One (“Chapter One”) of the Texas Credit Code. At all such times, if any, as Chapter One shall establish a Maximum Rate, the Maximum Rate shall be the “indicated rate ceiling” (as such term is defined in Chapter One) from time-to-time in effect.

Section 9.12.Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Banks in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of the Banks including such applicable laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America from time-to-time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Administrative Agent, the Banks, and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received, or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such

excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and the Bank receiving same shall credit the same on the principal of its Notes (or if its Notes shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower of such interest). The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Banks shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Note, all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Obligations.

Section 9.13.Waiver of Jury; Consent to Jurisdiction.The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each Bank hereby irrevocably waive any and all right to trial by jury in respect of any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other Credit Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.The Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any Texas state or federal court sitting in Dallas, Texas in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any right it may have to the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The Borrower hereby agrees that service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to such Borrower at its address set forth in this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section shall affect the rights of any Bank to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by the law or affect the right of any Bank to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrower or its Property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.14.Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Credit Documents shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Without limiting the intent of the parties set forth above, (a) Chapter 15, Subtitle 3, Title 79, of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, 1925, as amended (relating to revolving loans and revolving tri-party accounts), shall not apply to this Agreement, the Notes, or the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) to the extent that any Bank may be subject to Texas law limiting the amount of interest payable for its account, such Bank shall utilize the indicated (weekly) rate ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended (formerly known as the indicated (weekly) rate ceiling in

Article 5069-1.04 of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas). Each Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 (1993 version).

Section 9.15.Credit Documents. To the extent the specific terms and provisions of this Credit Agreement expressly conflict with the specific terms and provisions of any of the other Credit Documents, the specific terms and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall control.

Section 9.16.Patriot Act. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.17.Express Negligence Rule.The indemnification, release and assumption provisions provided for in this Agreement shall be applicable whether or not the losses, costs, expenses and damages in question arose solely or in part from the gross, active, passive, or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault of any indemnified party. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Banks, the Borrower, and each of the Guarantors acknowledges that this statement complies with the express negligence rule and is conspicuous.

Section 9.18.Statute of Frauds.

(a)Pursuant to Section 26.02 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, a loan agreement in which the amount involved in the loan agreement exceeds $50,000 in value is not enforceable unless the loan agreement is in writing and signed by the party to be bound or that party’s authorized representative.

B. The Existing Credit Agreement is being amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 27, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent.

C.

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Person under the Credit Documents or in connection with any Interest Rate Contract, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or whether the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions.

(d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Person under the Credit Documents or any other assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Beneficiary to disclose to the Borrower or any Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects of any Person now or in the future known to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Bank or any other Beneficiary (and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose such information);

(g) any signature of any officer of the Borrower being mechanically reproduced in facsimile or otherwise; or

(h) any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Beneficiary that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor, surety or other Person.

FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED BENEFICIARY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Person to the extent that such rights arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Credit Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Beneficiary against the Borrower or any other Person, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any and all other amounts payable by the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit Obligations shall remain outstanding, all Interest Rate Contracts with the Beneficiaries have been terminated, and all Commitments shall have expired or terminated.

2.1Conveyance and Grant of Lien.In consideration of the advances, issuances, or extensions by the Credit Parties to Borrower of the funds or credit constituting the Secured Obligations (including the making of the Advances and the issuing of the Letters of Credit), and in further consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, Mortgagor, by this Deed of Trust hereby GRANTS, SELLS, TRANSFERS, ASSIGNS AND CONVEYS with a general warranty of title, and WITH THE POWER OF SALE, for the uses, purposes and conditions hereinafter set forth, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property unto Trustee, and to his successor or successors or substitutes IN TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, in trust to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations for the benefit of Mortgagee and the ratable benefit of the Credit Parties.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Mortgaged Property unto the Trustee and his successors or substitutes in trust and to his and their successors and assigns forever for the benefit of the Credit Parties, together with all and singular the rights, hereditaments and appurtenances thereto in anywise appertaining or belonging, to secure payment of the Secured Obligations and the performance of the covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Deed of Trust. Mortgagor does hereby bind itself, its successors and permitted assigns, to warrant and forever defend all and singular the Mortgaged Property unto the Trustee and his successors or substitutes in trust, and their successors and assigns, against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same, or any part thereof.

2.2Conveyance and Grant of Security Interest.For the same consideration and to further secure the Secured Obligations, Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Credit Parties a security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property.

2.3Assignment of Rents and Leases.Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers, conveys, and sets over to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s estate, right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter entered into, together with any changes, extensions, revisions or modifications thereof and all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of Mortgagor as the lessor under the Leases regarding the current tenants and any future tenants, and all the Rents from the Leases, including those now due, past due, or to become due. Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at the option of Mortgagee, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take possession and control of the applicable portions of the Mortgaged Property, pursuant to Mortgagor’s rights under the Leases, to exercise any of Mortgagor’s rights under the Leases, and to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfaction and to sue, in the name of Mortgagor or Mortgagee, for all of the Rents.The power of attorney granted hereby shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall terminate only upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (including all Letter of Credit Obligations), the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and all obligations of the Issuing Banks and the Banks in respect of Letters of Credit, and the expiration or termination of all Commitments, and Mortgagor hereby releases Mortgagee

Exhibit E — Page 10 of 33

from all liability (other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee) whatsoever for the exercise of the foregoing power of attorney and all actions taken pursuant thereto.The consideration received by Mortgagor to execute and deliver this assignment and the liens and security interests created herein is legally sufficient and will provide a direct economic benefit to Mortgagor. It is intended by Mortgagor and Mortgagee that the assignment set forth herein constitutes an absolute assignment and not merely an assignment for additional security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this assignment shall not be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of Mortgagor contained in the Leases or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Mortgagee, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have a license, revocable by Mortgagee, to possess and control the Leases and collect and receive the Rents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such license in favor of Mortgagor shall be automatically revoked. Mortgagee’s acceptance of the assignment of the Rents under this Deed of Trust shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagee a “secured party in possession,” nor obligate Mortgagee to appear in or defend any proceeding relating to the Rents, any Leases, or the Mortgaged Property, or to take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses, or perform any obligation under any Leases.

2.4After-Acquired Mortgaged Property.Any and all of the Mortgaged Property which is acquired after the date of this Deed of Trust shall, immediately and without any further conveyance, assignment, or act on the part of Mortgagor or Mortgagee, be subject to the Liens granted pursuant to this Deed of Trust as fully and completely as though specifically described herein and as though such Mortgaged Property had been owned by Mortgagor on the date of this Deed of Trust.

2.5Revolving Credit and Future Advances.It is contemplated and acknowledged that the Secured Obligations may include revolving credit loans and advances from time to time, and that this Deed of Trust shall have effect as of the date hereof to secure all Secured Obligations, regardless of whether any amounts are advanced on the date hereof or on a later date or, whether having been advanced, are later repaid in part or in whole and further advances made at a later date. This Deed of Trust secures all future advances and obligations constituting Secured Obligations.

2.6Security for Secured Obligations. The Liens and other rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 of this Deed of Trust secure, and the Mortgaged Property is security for, the prompt performance and payment in full in cash when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding that the balance of the Secured Obligations may at certain times be zero and that no Secured Obligations may at certain times be outstanding, the Liens granted hereunder and this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect at all times and with the same priority until the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Credit Documents.

2.7Products and Proceeds. The Liens and security interests granted by Mortgagor under this Deed of Trust include all products and Proceeds of the Mortgaged Property.

Mortgagee’s Rights

5.1Rights to Realty Collateral Upon Default.

(a)Operation of Property by Mortgagee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and in addition to all other rights of Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall have the following rights and powers (but no obligation):

(i) To hold, use, administer, manage and operate the Realty Collateral to the extent that Mortgagor could do so, and without any liability to Mortgagor in connection with such operations; and

(ii) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, to enter upon and take possession of the Realty Collateral or any part thereof, and exclude Mortgagor therefrom, and do any other acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Realty Collateral, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security hereof and, with or without taking possession of the Realty Collateral, take any action described herein, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less reasonable costs and expenses of operation and collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees, upon the Secured Obligations, all in such order as Mortgagee may determine.

The entering upon and taking possession of the Realty Collateral, the taking of any action described herein, the collection of such Rents, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default or invalidate any act done in response to such Event of Default or pursuant to such notice of default and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Realty Collateral or the collection, receipt and application of Rents, Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in any of the Credit Documents or by law upon any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale herein conferred. Mortgagee may designate any person, firm, corporation or other entity to act on its behalf in exercising the foregoing rights and powers.

(b)Judicial Proceedings. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Trustee and/or Mortgagee, in lieu of or in addition to exercising the power of sale hereafter given, may proceed by a suit or suits, in equity or at law (i) for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, (ii) for the appointment of a receiver whether there is then pending any foreclosure hereunder or the sale of the Realty Collateral, or (iii) for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy; and further, in lieu of the non-judicial power of sale hereafter given for Mortgaged Property located in the State of Texas, the Trustee may proceed by suit for a sale of the Realty Collateral.

Exhibit E — Page 19 of 33

(c)Foreclosure by Private Power of Sale of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall have the right and power to sell, as the Trustee may elect, all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property at one or more sales as an entirety or in parcels, in accordance with Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, as amended from time to time (or any successor provisions of Texas governing real property foreclosure sales) or with any applicable state law. Mortgagor hereby designates as Mortgagor’s address for the purpose of notice the address set out in Section 6.12;provided that Mortgagor may by written notice to Mortgagee designate a different address for notice purposes. Any purchaser or purchasers will be provided with a general warranty conveyance binding Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s successors and assigns. Sale of a part of the Realty Collateral will not exhaust the power of sale, and sales may be made from time to time until all of the Realty Collateral is sold or all of the Secured Obligations are paid in full.

(d)Certain Aspects of Sale. Mortgagee will have the right to become the purchaser at any foreclosure sale and to credit the then outstanding balance of the Secured Obligations against the amount payable by Mortgagee as purchaser at such sale. Statements of fact or other recitals contained in any conveyance to any purchaser or purchasers at any sale made hereunder will conclusively establish the occurrence of any Event of Default, any acceleration of the maturity of the Secured Obligations, the advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein, the appointment of any successor-Trustee hereunder and the truth and accuracy of all other matters stated therein. Mortgagor does hereby ratify and confirm all legal acts that the Trustee may do in carrying out the Trustee’s duties and obligations under this Deed of Trust, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee to be the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor and in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor to execute and deliver any deeds, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances and notices which Mortgagor ought to execute and deliver and do and perform any and all such acts and things which Mortgagor ought to do and perform under the covenants herein contained and generally to use the name of Mortgagor in the exercise of all or any of the powers hereby conferred on Trustee. Upon any sale, whether under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary for Trustee or any public officer acting under execution or by order of court, to have physically present or constructively in his possession any of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale the Mortgaged Property purchased by such purchasers at such sale and if it should be impossible or impracticable to make actual delivery of such Mortgaged Property, then the title and right of possession to such Mortgaged Property shall pass to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale as completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered.

(e)Receipt to Purchaser. Upon any sale made under the power of sale herein granted, the receipt of the Trustee will be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, will not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee, be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money or be responsible for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof.

Exhibit E — Page 20 of 33

(f)Effect of Sale. Any sale or sales of the Realty Collateral will operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the premises and the Realty Collateral sold, and will be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Mortgagor, Mortgagor’s successors or assigns, and against any and all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the Realty Collateral sold by, through or under Mortgagor, or Mortgagor’s successors or assigns. Nevertheless, if requested by the Trustee so to do, Mortgagor shall join in the execution and delivery of all proper conveyances, assignments and transfers of the Property so sold. The purchaser or purchasers at the foreclosure sale will receive as incident to his, her, its or their own ownership, immediate possession of the Realty Collateral purchased and Mortgagor agrees that if Mortgagor retains possession of the Realty Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser or purchasers and will be subject to eviction and removal by any lawful means, with or without judicial intervention, and all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor.

(g)Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of the Realty Collateral or any part thereof, whether under the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall either be, at the option of Mortgagee, applied at the time of receipt, or held by Mortgagee in a cash collateral account as additional Mortgaged Property, and in either case, applied in the order set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement.

(h)Mortgagor’s Waiver of Appraisement and Marshalling. Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent that Mortgagor may lawfully so agree, that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law, now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, the absolute sale of the Mortgaged Property, including the Realty Collateral, or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to this Deed of Trust or pursuant to the decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and all who may claim through or under Mortgagor, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws and, to the extent that Mortgagor may lawfully do so under any applicable law, any and all rights to have the Mortgaged Property, including the Realty Collateral, marshaled upon any foreclosure of the Lien hereof or sold in inverse order of alienation. Mortgagor agrees that the Trustee may sell the Mortgaged Property, including the Realty Collateral, in part, in parcels or as an entirety as directed by Mortgagee.

(i)Waiver of Notices, Appraisements, Reinstatement and other Rights. Mortgagor hereby expressly waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights or privileges of notices, appraisements, redemption and any prerequisite in the event of foreclosure of the liens and/or security interests created herein, including without limitation, any right to reinstatement prior to foreclosure. Mortgagee at all times shall have the right to release any part of the Mortgaged Property now or hereafter subject to the liens or security interests of this Deed of Trust, any part of the proceeds of production or other income herein or hereafter assigned or pledged, or any other security it now has or may hereafter have securing the Indebtedness, without releasing any other

Exhibit E — Page 21 of 33

part of the Mortgaged Property, proceeds or income, and without affecting the liens or security interests hereof as to the part or parts of the Mortgaged Property, proceeds or income not so released or the right to receive future proceeds and income

5.2Rights to Personalty Collateral Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee or the Trustee may proceed against the Personalty Collateral in accordance with the rights and remedies granted herein with respect to the Realty Collateral, or will have all rights and remedies granted by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Texas and this Deed of Trust. Mortgagee shall have the right to take possession of the Personalty Collateral, and for this purpose Mortgagee may enter upon any premises on which any or all of the Personalty Collateral is situated and, to the extent that Mortgagor could do so, take possession of and operate the Personalty Collateral or remove it therefrom. Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to assemble the Personalty Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a place to be designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Unless the Personalty Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Mortgagee will send Mortgagor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Personalty Collateral is to be made. This requirement of sending reasonable notice will be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Mortgagor at the address designated in Section 6.12 hereof (or such other address as has been designated as provided herein) at least ten days before the time of the sale or disposition. In addition to the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like, Mortgagee will be entitled to recover attorney’s fees and legal expenses as provided for in this Deed of Trust and in the writings evidencing the Secured Obligations before applying the balance of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition toward satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Mortgagor will remain liable for any deficiency remaining after the sale or other disposition. Mortgagor hereby consents and agrees that any disposition of all or a part of the Mortgaged Property may be made without warranty of any kind whether expressed or implied.

5.3Rights to Fixture Collateral Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may elect to treat the Fixture Collateral as either Realty Collateral or as Personalty Collateral (but not both) and proceed to exercise such rights as apply to the type of Mortgaged Property selected.

5.4Certain Remedies related to Rents. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee may by written notice to Mortgagor terminate Mortgagor’s license to collect the Rents hereunder. Any Rents received by Mortgagor after such notice shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Mortgagee, segregated from the other funds of Mortgagor, and immediately paid over to the Mortgagee, with any necessary endorsement. Mortgagor irrevocably authorizes all parties obligated to pay Rents to accept any notice from the Mortgagee that Mortgagor’s license to collect the Rents has been terminated after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, following such notice, to follow the instructions of the Mortgagee and ignore the instructions of Mortgagor with respect to collecting the Rents, including instructions which direct the obligors to pay all amounts due directly to the Mortgagee. Upon such notification and at the expense of Mortgagor, the Mortgagee may enforce collection of any Rents, and adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

Exhibit E — Page 22 of 33

5.5Account Debtors. Mortgagee may, in its discretion, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, notify any account debtor to make payments directly to Mortgagee and contact account debtors directly to verify information furnished by Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall not have any obligation to preserve any rights against prior parties.

5.6Costs and Expenses. All reasonable sums advanced or costs or expenses incurred by Mortgagee (either by it directly or on its behalf by the Trustee or any receiver appointed hereunder) in protecting and enforcing its rights hereunder shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee as part of the Obligations. Mortgagor hereby agrees to repay such reasonable sums on demand plus interest thereon from the date of the advance or incurrence until reimbursement of Mortgagee at the same rate of interest as charged Reference Rate Advances when an Event of Default exists as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

5.7Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right to set-off any funds of Mortgagor in the possession of Mortgagee against any amounts then due by Mortgagor to Mortgagee pursuant to this Deed of Trust.

The Trustee or Mortgagee may resort first to such other security or any part thereof, or first to the security herein given or any part thereof, or from time to time to either or both, even to the partial or complete abandonment of either security, and such action will not be a waiver of any rights conferred by this Deed of Trust.

6.16Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee in the execution and performance of this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws governing the Secured Obligations including such applicable usury laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America as are from time-to-time in effect. In furtherance thereof, Mortgagee and Mortgagor stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Secured Obligations, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and Mortgagee shall credit the same on the principal of the Secured Obligations (or if the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to Mortgagor). In the event that the maturity of the Secured Obligations is accelerated by reason of any election of Mortgagee resulting from any Event of Default, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or other Credit Documents shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration and prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Secured Obligations or, if the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to Mortgagor. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal part during the period of the full stated term of the Secured Obligations, all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law of any kind contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Secured Obligation.

Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust in any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, the amount of the Secured Obligations secured by Mortgagor’s interests in any of its Property pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder or the Liens

5.02.Dividends and Other Rights.

(a) All rights of the Pledgors to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2.04(a) may be exercised by the Secured Party if the Secured Party so elects and gives written notice of such election to the affected Pledgor and all rights of the Pledgors to receive any Distributions on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds of sale of the Pledged Collateral which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 2.04(b) shall cease.

(b) All Distributions on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds of sale of the Pledged Collateral which are received by any Pledgor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, and shall be promptly paid over to the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

5.03.Sale of Pledged Collateral. The Secured Party may sell all or part of the Pledged Collateral at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as may be commercially reasonable in accordance with applicable laws. Each Pledgor agrees that to the extent permitted by law such sales may be made without notice. If notice is required by law, each Pledgor hereby deems 10 days’ advance notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made reasonable notification, recognizing that if the Pledged Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market shorter notice may be reasonable. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time-to-time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor shall fully cooperate with Secured Party in selling or realizing upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral. In addition, each Pledgor shall fully comply with the securities laws of the United States, the State of Texas, and other states and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to permit Secured Party to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities representing the Pledged Collateral in compliance with such laws.

5.04.Exempt Sale. If, in the opinion of the Secured Party, there is any question that a public or semipublic sale or distribution of any Pledged Collateral will violate any state or

federal securities law, the Secured Party in its reasonable discretion (a) may offer and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree to take them for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and who will agree to imposition of restrictive legends on the certificates representing the security, or (b) may sell such securities in an intrastate offering under Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no sale so made in good faith by the Secured Party shall be deemed to be not “commercially reasonable” solely because so made. Each Pledgor shall cooperate fully with the Secured Party in all reasonable respects in selling or realizing upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral.

5.05.Application of Collateral. The proceeds of any sale, or other realization (other than that received from a sale or other realization permitted by the Credit Agreement) upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pledged by the Pledgors shall be applied by the Secured Party as set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement.

5.06.Cumulative Remedies. Each right, power and remedy herein specifically granted to the Secured Party or otherwise available to it shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and each such right, power and remedy, whether specifically granted herein or otherwise existing, may be exercised at any time and from time-to-time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Secured Party in its sole discretion. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any such right, power or remedy, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 6.Secured Party as Attorney-in-Fact for Pledgor.

6.01.Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to act for such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, and, in the Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, indorse, and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, or the proceeds of the sale of the Pledged Collateral, or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same.

preservation or protection of any of the Pledged Collateral or of its security interest therein. The Secured Party shall provide notice to the affected Pledgor of any action taken hereunder; provided however, the failure to provide such notice shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of the Secured Party provided under this Pledge Agreement or under applicable law.

6.03.Secured Party Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.
