the extent used to pay, redeem, purchase or discharge Bank Indebtedness or TCW
Indebtedness) shall be applied in the following order (the "ANCF Hierarchy"):
(i) first, to any Scheduled Bank Payments, payments in
respect of Permitted Interest Rate Hedges and any interest or fees on,
or other non-principal items of, Allowed Bank Indebtedness, to the
extent such Scheduled Bank Payments, payments in respect of Permitted
Interest Rate Hedges, interest, fees or other non-principal items are
due on or before such Quarterly Payment Date,
(ii) second, to any Allowed Bank Indebtedness which has been
accelerated and become due in accordance with the terms of both this

fees or other items are due (whether due to acceleration thereof or

11
12
(iv) fourth, to any payments of principal (other than those
described in subsections (i) and (ii) above) which are due on the
Allowed Bank Indebtedness on or before such Quarterly Payment Date,
(v) fifth (but only on or after the Initial TCW Amortization
Date), to any payments of principal which are due on the TCW
Indebtedness (whether due to acceleration thereof or otherwise) on or
before such Quarterly Payment Date,
(vi) sixth, except during any 100% Dedication Quarter, up to
ten percent (10%) of the ANCF for such Calculation Quarter may be
retained by Borrower and used in Borrower's business,
(vii) seventh, (x) if made during the Revolver Period to
prepay Allowed Bank Indebtedness, subject to the Borrower's ability to
obtain subsequent advance pursuant to the terms of the Bank Documents
or the TCW Documents or (y) if made after the Revolver Period to
prepay any Scheduled Bank Payments (other than those described in
subsection (i), (ii) or (iv) above), in inverse order of maturity,
(viii) eighth, after all Scheduled Bank Payments and other
Allowed Bank Indebtedness have been paid (or if the Banks elect not to
accept any prepayments under the preceding subsection (vii)), to
prepay or repay any TCW Indebtedness,
(ix) ninth, after all TCW Indebtedness has been paid (or if
the Noteholders elect, in their sole and absolute discretion not to
accept any prepayments under the preceding section (viii)), to repay
any Excess Bank Indebtedness, to the extent Excess Bank Indebtedness
is due (whether due to acceleration or otherwise), and
(x) tenth, the remainder may be retained by Borrower and used
in Borrower's business.
This Section 3(a) is intended only to create an obligation of Borrower to pay
and apply ANCF and other amounts described therein in the order and the
respective amounts set forth therein, and to create an obligation on the Banks
and the Noteholders to turnover funds improperly received or collected as more
particularly set forth in Section 9. No failure of Borrower to make payment or
application of ANCF or any other amount to the Indebtedness in the manner
provided in Section 3(a), and no failure of the Banks or Agent Lender to
enforce such payment or application nor any other act or omission by Borrower
or Banks or Agent Lender shall cause any Allowed Bank Indebtedness to be deemed
to have been paid nor to otherwise no longer be entitled to the priority of
payment set forth in this Section 3(a) nor affect any other right or privilege
of the Banks or the Agent Lender. No failure of Borrower to make payment or
application of ANCF or any other amount to the Indebtedness in the manner
provided in Section 3(a), and no failure of the Noteholders or the Agent
Noteholder to enforce such payment or application nor any other act or omission
by Borrower or the Noteholders or the Agent Noteholder shall cause any TCW
12
13
Indebtedness to be deemed paid nor to otherwise no longer be entitled to the
priority of payment set forth in this Section 3(a) nor affect any other right
or privilege of the Noteholders or the Agent Noteholder.
(b) As further provided in Sections 5 and 6, (i) neither the
amount nor the date for payment of any Scheduled Bank Payment may be modified
and no provision of the Bank Documents may be amended or modified to increase
the rate or the manner of determining interest, fees, expenses or other
non-principal items due on the Allowed Bank Indebtedness, without the prior
consent of the Agent Noteholder, and (ii) the scheduled dates for payment of
the principal of the TCW Indebtedness shall not be modified to occur prior to
the Initial TCW Amortization Date and no provision of the TCW Documents may be
amended or modified to increase the rate or the manner of determining interest,
fees, expenses or other non-principal items due on the TCW Indebtedness,
without the consent of the Agent Lender, if either the Revolver Period has not
ended or there is any outstanding Allowed Bank Indebtedness . No Excess Bank
Indebtedness shall be lent to or incurred by Borrower, Parent or any Related
Person without the consent of the Agent Noteholder until all TCW Indebtedness
has been paid in full, and no loans in excess of $75,000,000 shall be made to

Documents without the consent of the Agent Lender until all Allowed Bank

paid when due under the Bank Agreement and payments on Permitted Interest Rate
Hedges shall be paid when due under the Bank Interest Rate Hedge Agreement and
each shall, for purposes of the ANCF Hierarchy, be accounted for out of ANCF as
if paid on the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date.
Section 4. Rights to Cure Defaults.
(a) Within two Business days after determining that any Bank
Default has occurred, the Borrower will give notice of such Bank Default to the
Agent Noteholder. Agent Lender may, but is not obligated to, give notice of any
Bank Default to the Agent Noteholder. Although no Noteholder has any obligation
to cure any Bank Default, Borrower hereby authorizes each Noteholder to make
any such cure, if any Noteholder so elects, and the Banks hereby agree that
they will allow such Noteholder to make any such cure on behalf of Borrower,
provided such cure is in compliance with the Bank Agreement and does not
otherwise cause a Bank Default. The Banks further agree that without the
consent of the Agent Noteholder no Bank shall commence or continue any
Enforcement Action with respect to any Bank Default until the earlier to occur
of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day after the date upon which the Agent Lender
receives notice of such Bank Default from the Borrower or the Agent Noteholder
(and
13
14
then only if such Bank Default remains uncured and otherwise continues to
exist) and (ii) any acceleration of the TCW Indebtedness or any enforcement by
any Noteholder of any Lien upon assets of Borrower in compliance with the terms
hereof.
(b) Within two Business days after determining that any TCW
Default has occurred, the Borrower will give notice of such TCW Default to the
Agent Lender. Agent Noteholder may, but is not obligated to, give notice of any
TCW Default to the Agent Lender. Although no Bank has any obligation to cure
any TCW Default, Borrower hereby authorizes each Bank to make any such cure, if
any Bank so elects, and the Noteholders hereby agree that they will allow such
Bank to make any such cure on behalf of Borrower, provided such cure is in
compliance with the TCW Agreement and does not otherwise cause a TCW Default.
The Noteholders further agree that without the consent of the Agent Lender, no
Noteholder shall commence or continue any TCW Enforcement Action with respect
to any TCW Default until the earlier to occur of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day
after the date upon which the Agent Noteholder receives notice of such TCW
Default from the Borrower or the Agent Lender (and then only if such TCW
Default remains uncured and otherwise continues to exist) and (ii) any
acceleration of the Bank Indebtedness or any enforcement by any Bank of any
Lien upon assets of Borrower in compliance with the terms hereof.
Section 5. Amendments to Bank Documents. No provision of the
Bank Documents shall, without the prior written consent of the Agent
Noteholder, be amended, supplemented, modified or waived if the effect of such
amendment, supplement, modification or wavier would be to (a) increase the rate
of interest or the manner of determining prepayment charges, fees, expenses or
other amounts payable with respect to (or constituting items of) the Allowed
Bank Indebtedness (provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the interest
rate applicable to any past due Allowed Bank Indebtedness from increasing by up
to two percent per annum as presently provided in the Bank Agreement), (b)
change the date on which any Scheduled Bank Payment becomes due or change the
amount thereof, (c) change the scheduled payment date of any other Allowed Bank
Indebtedness, (d) add new covenants or events of default, (e) extend the
Commitment Period or allow a loan under the Bank Documents after March 31,
1999, or (f) otherwise change the terms of the Bank Documents in any way which
is more onerous to Borrower, Parent or any Related Person or causes, or
increases the likelihood of, the occurrence of a Bank Default The parties
recognize that the Bank Agreement is a revolving credit agreement until March
31, 1999, with floating interest rate options, and neither (i) the borrowing of
loans under such revolving credit feature (provided the aggregate outstanding
amounts thereof do not exceed the limits set forth above in the definition of
"Allowed Bank Indebtedness") nor (ii) any fluctuations in the underlying
eurodollar rate or prime rate on which are based the interest rate provisions
of the Bank Agreement, nor (iii) the occurrence of any event triggering
Eurodollar Rate costs or a late payment rate, shall be deemed to be a violation
of this Section 5.
Nothing to the contrary contained in this Agreement shall (i)
restrict, prohibit or regulate the determinations which may be made from time
to time by the Banks or the Agent
14
15
Lender under the Bank Agreement, including specifically, but without
limitation, the right of the Banks and/or Agent Lender to determine the
Borrowing Base from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Bank
Agreement. Any amount required to be repaid under the Bank Agreement as a
result of a Borrowing Base determination shall be paid pursuant to clause (iv)
of Section 3(a) of this Agreement. Such required payment shall not be
considered a modification within the meaning of Section 3(b). Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Scheduled Bank Payments are based upon the
Borrowing Base currently in existence under the Bank Agreement and the Banks
will not increase the Borrowing Base under the Bank Agreement (i) without an
amendment to such Scheduled Bank Payments as determined by the Banks in
connection with such Borrowing Base increase and (ii) the consent of the Agent
Noteholder to such amendment to such Scheduled Bank Payments.
Section 6. Amendments to TCW Documents. No provision of the
TCW Documents shall, without the prior written consent of the Agent Lender, be
amended, supplemented, modified or waived if the effect of such amendment,
supplement, modification or wavier would be to (a) increase the rate of
interest, prepayment charges, fees, expenses or other amounts payable with
respect to (or constituting items of) the TCW Indebtedness (provided that the
foregoing shall not prevent the interest rate applicable to any past due TCW
Indebtedness from increasing to twelve percent per annum as presently provided
in the TCW Agreement), (b) provide for scheduled principal payments on the TCW
Indebtedness prior to the Initial TCW Amortization Date, (c) change the
scheduled payment date of any non- principal items of TCW Indebtedness, (d) add
new covenants or events of default, or (e) otherwise change the terms of the
TCW Documents in any way which causes, or increases the likelihood of, the
occurrence of a TCW Default. The parties further recognize that, pursuant to
the TCW Agreement, Parent and Warrantholder entered into that certain Warrant
Agreement and Parent issued to Warrantholder certain Warrants as described in
the Warrant Agreement and that any exercise by Warrantholder of such Warrants
or any rights under the TCW Warrant Documents or any enforcement thereof shall
not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 6.
Section 7. Insolvency Proceedings. Upon any distribution of
properties or assets of Borrower in any Insolvency Proceeding, or upon any
payment on behalf of Borrower in any Insolvency Proceeding:
(a) The Banks shall be entitled to receive payment in full in
cash of the Allowed Bank Indebtedness, or provision must be made for immediate
payment in full in cash of the Allowed Bank Indebtedness, before the
Noteholders are entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment or
distribution of properties or assets of Borrower of any kind or character
(whether in cash, property or securities and by set-off or otherwise), other
than Permitted Junior Securities, on account of the TCW Indebtedness.
(b) Any direct or indirect payment or distribution of
properties or assets of Borrower of any kind or character, other than a payment
or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities, to which the
Noteholders would be entitled but for the provisions of this
15
16
Agreement shall be paid by Borrower or by any liquidating trustee or agent or
other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in
bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the
Banks or their representative or representatives, ratably according to the
aggregate unpaid amounts of Allowed Bank Indebtedness held or represented by
each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Allowed Bank
Indebtedness after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to
the Banks.
(c) If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7, any Noteholder shall receive any payment or distribution of
properties or assets of Borrower of any kind or character, other than a payment
or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities, on account of the
TCW Indebtedness before all Allowed Bank Indebtedness is paid or provided for
in full, then such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust
for and shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the Banks remaining unpaid
or their representatives, to the extent necessary to pay all Allowed Bank
Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the Banks.
(d) Except as provided in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of
this Section 7, the Banks and the Noteholders will be entitled to freely
exercise all rights and remedies available to them in any Insolvency
Proceeding. Furthermore, nothing in this Section 7 or any other provision of
this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver by Agent
Noteholder or any Noteholder of any right to vote for or against or to propose
any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency Proceeding, all of which are
expressly reserved and retained by Agent Noteholder and the Noteholders.
Section 8. Notice of Acceleration; Right to Purchase
Indebtedness.
(a) Within one business day after any acceleration of the
maturity of any Allowed Bank Indebtedness, the Agent Lender will give notice
thereof to the Agent Noteholder. Within one business day after any acceleration
of the maturity of any TCW Indebtedness, the Agent Noteholder will give notice
thereof to the Agent Lender.
(b) The Banks will at any time during the continuance of any
Bank Default or Insolvency Proceeding, upon request by the Agent Noteholder,
assign all of the Allowed Bank Indebtedness and all appurtenant Liens, rights,
documents and instruments to the Noteholders for a price equal to 100% of the
Allowed Bank Indebtedness.
(c) Before any Noteholder sells any TCW Indebtedness, it
shall first give written offer to the Agent Lender to sell such TCW
Indebtedness, specifying the amount of TCW Indebtedness to be sold and all
material terms of such sale. The Banks shall have the right to purchase such
TCW Indebtedness on such offered terms for a period of 45 days ("Offer Period")
after receipt by the Agent Lender of such notice. If the Banks do not purchase
such TCW Indebtedness during such Offer Period, the Noteholder may sell the TCW
Indebtedness to any third party on the same terms which were offered to the
Banks for a period of 180 days following
16
17
the end of such Offer Period. Such Noteholder must again provide the Banks an
offer to sell TCW Indebtedness as a condition to (i) any sale of TCW
Indebtedness after such 180 day period or (ii) any sale of TCW Indebtedness on
terms more favorable to the proposed purchaser than the terms offered the
Banks; provided that such offer on more favorable terms to a proposed purchaser
within such 180 day period shall be limited to an Offer Period of 15 days after
receipt by Agent Lender of notice of such offer. The provisions of this Section
8(c) does not apply to any sale by a Noteholder to an Affiliate or to any
transfer by a Noteholder to any party having a beneficial interest in such
Noteholder or in any Note or to any custodian, sub-custodian, investment
manager or designee of such beneficial owner.
Section 9. Turnover of Payments Wrongly Received. If Borrower
shall make any payment to a Noteholder which is prohibited hereby or any
Noteholder shall collect any payment as a result of an Enforcement Action which
is prohibited hereby, then such payment shall be paid over and delivered
forthwith by such Noteholder to the Agent Lender. If Borrower shall make any
payment to a Bank which is prohibited hereby or any Bank shall collect any
payment as a result of an Enforcement Action which is prohibited hereby, then
such payment shall be paid over and delivered by such Bank to the Agent
Noteholder.
Section 10. Payments and Enforcement Actions Otherwise
Permitted. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing shall prevent Borrower
from making, or any Noteholder or Bank from receiving, any payments on the TCW
Indebtedness or Allowed Bank Indebtedness, as applicable, or limit the rights
of the Banks or the Noteholders to take Enforcement Actions.
Section 11. Subrogation to Rights of Banks. After the payment
in full of all Allowed Bank Indebtedness, the Noteholders shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Banks to receive payments and distributions of cash,
property and securities applicable to Allowed Bank Indebtedness and the Liens
securing the Allowed Bank Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the TCW
Indebtedness shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of Allowed Bank Indebtedness by or on
behalf of Borrower or by or on behalf of the Noteholders by virtue of this
Agreement which otherwise would have been made to the Noteholders shall, as
between Borrower, its creditors other than the Banks, and the Noteholders, be
deemed to be a payment or distribution by Borrower to or on account of the
Allowed Bank Indebtedness.
Section 12. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The
provisions of this Agreement are, and are intended solely, for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the Noteholders on the one hand and of the
Banks on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or
shall (a) impair, as between Borrower and the Noteholders, the obligation of
Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay all TCW Indebtedness as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms;
(b) affect the relative rights against Borrower of the Noteholders and any
creditors of Borrower other than the Banks; or (c) prevent the Noteholders from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under the TCW Agreement, subject to the rights of the Banks, if
17
18
applicable, under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended to or shall (a) impair, as between Borrower and the Banks, the
obligation of Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay all Bank
Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance
with its terms; (b) affect the relative rights against Borrower of the Banks
and any creditors of Borrower other than the Noteholders; or (c) prevent the
Banks from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under the Bank Agreement, subject to the rights of the Noteholders, if
applicable, under this Agreement. Without the consent of the Borrower, the
provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Noteholders
and the Banks may be modified by the Noteholders and the Banks without
modifying the rights of the Borrower, provided that Agent Noteholder and Agent
Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower.

(U.S.) Capital Corporation ("ING") acknowledges that it holds the stock of each
of Borrower and Inland Refining and the Sound Refining Deed of Trust and Sound
Refining Note (collectively, the "Pledged Collateral") pursuant to certain

Bank agreement) for ING, as Agent for the Banks, and for the Collateral Agent
(as defined in the TCW Agreement), as agent for the Noteholders, to perfect the
security interest granted in each relevant Security Document. ING shall have no
obligation or duty to such Collateral Agent or Noteholders as a result thereof;
provided that upon payment in full of the Allowed Bank Indebtedness and the end
of the Revolving Period, ING shall not surrender such Pledged Collateral to
Parent or Inland Refining, as applicable, but shall deliver the same to
Collateral Agent.
Section 14. No Waiver. No right of any Bank or Noteholder to
enforce its rights as herein provided shall at any time or in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any other
party hereto or by any non-compliance by any other party with the terms of this
Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such Bank or
Noteholder may have or otherwise be charged with (provided that in all events
the Noteholders may conclusively rely on the authority of the Agent Lender to
act for the Banks and that the Banks may conclusively rely on the authority of
the Agent Noteholder to act for the Noteholders). The rights and duties of the
parties hereto shall continue in effect and apply to the Bank Indebtedness and
the TCW Indebtedness and to the Bank Documents and the TCW Documents, as each
is from time to time amended or modified or waived, subject to the provisions
of Sections 3, 5 and 6.
Section 15. No Oral Change. No amendment of any provision of
this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by
Borrower, the Agent Noteholder and the Agent Lender. No waiver of any provision
of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Borrower, any Noteholder
or any Bank therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by
both the Agent Noteholder and the Agent Lender, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given.
