(d)

(e)

Lender shall make its Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in such Funding Notice, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agents Principal Office. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Loans available to Borrowers on such date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Borrowers at Administrative Agents Principal Office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrowers; provided that the proceeds of any Loans shall be utilized solely in accordance with the Budget or as otherwise consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (it being understood that the professional fees, expenses and disbursements being paid with the proceeds of any Loan shall be reasonable). 2.2 Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective applicable Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lenders obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lenders obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby. 2.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the PERL Term Loans shall be applied exclusively to repay the PERL Refunding Amount and PEAO Term Loans shall be applied exclusively to repay the PEAO Refunding Amount, and all other Loans shall be used exclusively to provide working capital for the Borrowers in accordance with the Budget, to fund capital expenditures in accordance with the Budget, and for other general corporate purposes in accordance with the Budget. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. 2.4 Evidence of Liabilities; Register; Lenders Books and Records; Notes. (a) Lenders Evidence of Liabilities. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Liabilities of Borrowers to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lenders Commitments or Borrowers Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lenders records, the recordations in the Register shall govern. Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the Register). The Register shall be 31
A/72851779.11

(b)

available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitments and the Loans, and the interest, each repayment or prepayment thereon, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lenders Commitments or Borrowers joint and several Obligations in respect of any Loan. Each Borrower hereby designates J. Aron to serve as such Borrowers agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.4, and each Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent J. Aron serves in such capacity, J. Aron and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees. (c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.5) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrowers receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lenders Loans. Any such Note evidencing Loans under the applicable Commitment shall be in the form of Exhibit B.

2.5

Interest on Loans. (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at the Effective Rate from the date made through repayment thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one days interest shall be paid on that Loan. A portion of the interest on each Loan shall accrue at an annual rate equal to 4.00% and be payable in cash on each Monthly Payment Date. The remaining portion of interest on each Loan shall accrue and be compounded into the principal outstanding amount of the Loans on each Monthly Payment Date and shall thereafter be treated in all respects as part of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

(b)

(c)

2.6 Reduction of Commitment. Borrowers may from time to time, but not more than once during the term of this Agreement, reduce the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment for the Revolving Loans to any lesser amount. To make any such reduction, Borrowers must send written notice to Administrative Agent of the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment chosen by Borrowers. Any choice by Borrowers of a reduced Revolving Loan Commitment 32
A/72851779.11

shall be effective upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such written notice and shall constitute a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment. 2.7 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any past due interest payments on the Loans or any past due fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the Effective Rate with respect to the applicable Loans (the Post-Default Rate). Payment of interest at the Post-Default Rate is not, however, a permitted alternative to timely payment, and acceptance of interest at the Post-Default Rate shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or any Lender. 2.8 Payments of Other Amounts. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated the Closing Date among Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, each Borrower has jointly and severally promised to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Shares, certain amounts at the times agreed upon, and each Borrower hereby repeats its joint and several promise to pay such amounts. 2.9 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) Borrowers, at their option, upon notice as provided below, may prepay any part of the Loans, at any time without penalty or premium, provided that: (i) any partial prepayment of a Loan must not be less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all Loans then outstanding (or, if less, the remaining principal amount of the Loans) and must be an integral multiple of $500,000 if in excess of that amount, each such prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all interest accrued on such principal to the date of repayment, and Borrowers must give each Lender written notice as provided below of each prepayment under this section.

(ii) (iii)

Each such notice shall be given not less than one Business Day prior to the date fixed for such prepayment and shall specify (1) the Business Day on which such prepayment will be made and (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid. Upon the giving of such notice, the principal to be prepaid as described therein shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified in such notice. (b) Any principal prepaid pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments otherwise required to be paid under the Transaction Documents at the time of such prepayment, and until the Loans have been paid in full the mandatory prepayments required under Section 2.10 shall not be reduced.

2.10

Mandatory Prepayments. 33

A/72851779.11

(a)

If the Required Lenders shall, in their sole and absolute discretion, approve the sale of any Collateral requested by a Credit Party (other than the sale or other disposition of assets or property otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.5), Borrowers shall make a payment in respect of the Loans, without premium or penalty, in an aggregate amount equal to the sales proceeds received by such Credit Party net only of reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such sale paid to non-Affiliates of Borrowers. Borrowers shall make a payment in respect of the Loans, without premium or penalty, in an aggregate amount equal to the gross proceeds received by any Credit Party relating to insurance in respect of casualty to property constituting Collateral (which payment shall be made immediately upon receipt thereof). If at any time the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds total Revolving Loan Commitments, then the Borrowers shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders.

2.11

General Provisions Regarding Payments. (a) All payments by Borrowers of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at Administrative Agents Principal Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrowers on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include all interest accrued on such principal to the date of repayment. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lenders applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent, first, to repay the Revolving Loans in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments set forth on Appendix A, and only after the outstanding Revolving Loans have been reduced to $0, then as follows, in each case with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not exactly in proportion: (i) with respect to any payments consisting of Collateral of PERL and its Subsidiaries or made with the proceeds of the Collateral of PERL and its Subsidiaries (other than the PEA Entities):

(b) (c)

(1) second to the PERL Term Facility, to be allocated among the PERL Term Lenders in accordance with each such PERL Term Lenders PERL Term Pro Rata Share; 34
A/72851779.11

(2) third to the extent the PERL Term Facility has been paid in full, to the PEAO Second Lien Prepetition Debt, to be allocated among the PEAO Second Lien Lenders in accordance with each such Lenders PEAO Second Lien Pro Rata Share of the PEAO Second Lien Prepetition Debt in accordance with Section 2.12 of the PEAO Second Lien Credit Agreement; and (3) fourth to the extent the PEAO Second Lien Prepetition Debt has been paid in full, to the PEAO Term Facility, to be allocated among the PEAO Term Lenders in accordance with each such PEAO Term Lenders PEAO Term Pro Rata Share; (ii) with respect to any payments consisting of Collateral of the PEA Entities or made with the proceeds of the Collateral of the PEA Entities:

(1) second to the PEAO Term Facility, to be allocated among the PEAO Term Lenders in accordance with each such PEAO Term Lenders PEAO Term Pro Rata Share; (2) third to the extent the PEAO Term Facility has been paid in full, to the PEAO Second Lien Prepetition Debt, to be allocated among the PEAO Second Lien Lenders in accordance with each such Lenders PEAO Second Lien Pro Rata Share of the PEAO Second Lien Prepetition Debt in accordance with Section 2.12 of the PEAO Second Lien Credit Agreement; and (3) fourth to the extent the PEAO Second Lien Prepetition Debt has been paid in full, to the PERL Term Facility, to be allocated among the PERL Term Lenders in accordance with each such PERL Term Lenders PERL Term Pro Rata Share; (d) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest or fees hereunder. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge such Borrowers accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose). Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrowers and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue 35
A/72851779.11

(e)

(f)

on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.7 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. 2.12 Ratable Sharing. As used in this section, Obligation Category means the following groups of Obligations: (a) payments due and owing to Lenders under Sections 5.9, 10.2 or 10.3 hereof or under any similar sections of any other Transaction Documents, (b) interest due and payable in respect of the Loans and payment due and owing to Lenders under Section 2.5 and Section 2.7, (c) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and (d) all other Obligations. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment, through the exercise of any right of set-off or bankers lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Transaction Documents or otherwise (other than pursuant to an assignment pursuant to Section 10.5), or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of any Obligations in an Obligation Category that are then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Obligations in such Obligation Category that are then due and owing to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Obligations in such Obligation Category then due and owing to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Obligations in any Obligation Category shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the aggregate Obligations in such Obligation Category that are then due and owing to all of them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrowers or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of bankers lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by such Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. 2.13 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any 36
A/72851779.11

guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to make any such payment with respect to any additional Tax described in clause (i) above more than twenty Business Days prior to the date when due of any such Tax. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.13 which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. (b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lenders Loans or Commitment, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into 37
A/72851779.11

consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrowers from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.13(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 2.14 Taxes; Withholding, etc. (a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax described in subsection (a) above from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Transaction Documents: (i) Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrowers become aware of it; (ii) Borrowers shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for their own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender 38
A/72851779.11

(b)

listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender. (c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Credit Parties shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable Law. The Credit Parties shall deliver to Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. Indemnification. Without duplication of its obligations under clauses (b)(iii) and (c) hereunder, the Credit Parties shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than any Tax on the overall net income of the Administrative Agent, any Lenders or their respective Tax Related Persons) paid or incurred by such Agent or such Lender relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Transaction Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Agents, Lenders and participants pursuant to Section 10.5 for any Taxes that would be excluded from a gross-up under Section 2.14(b) or to the extent such Taxes are covered by Sections 2.14(b) or (c). Such indemnification shall be made on an after-Tax basis, such that after all required deductions and payments of all Taxes (excluding any Tax on the overall net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lenders except for income Taxes and deductions applicable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14(d)) and payment of all reasonable expenses, the Agents or the Lenders receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had it not paid or incurred or been subject to such Taxes. A certificate from the relevant Lender or Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such Taxes shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a Non-US Lender) shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrowers, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrowers or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or 39
A/72851779.11

(d)

(e)

W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrowers to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Transaction Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a bank or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrowers to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Transaction Documents. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrowers two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrowers to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Transaction Documents. Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.14(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.14(e); provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(e) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.14(e) shall relieve Borrowers of their obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein. 2.15 Measures to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become entitled to receive payments under Section 2.13 or 2.14, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the 40
A/72851779.11

internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitments or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.15 unless Borrowers (i) agree to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause (a) above and (ii) increase the amount payable to such Lender as provided in Section 2.14(b)(iii) and indemnifies each Credit Party as provided in Section 2.14(d) for all Taxes imposed on such Lender in excess of such Taxes relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Transaction Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby in excess of such Taxes imposed on such Lender prior to the event or the existence of a condition described in this section. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.15 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that be conclusive absent manifest error. 2.16 Collateral Accounts. (a) Establishment of Collateral Accounts: Rules for Application. (i) PERL shall maintain at its expense the PERL Collateral Account pursuant to the applicable Collateral Account Agreement. J. Aron, as Collateral Agent, shall have exclusive dominion and control over the PERL Collateral Account, and PERL shall not give any instructions with respect to the PERL Collateral Account to the administrator thereof. PEAO shall maintain at its expense the PEAO Collateral Account pursuant to the applicable Collateral Account Agreement.

(iv) If at any time after receipt of the proceeds of a Loan made pursuant to Section 2.1, Borrowers shall determine that (A) Borrowers no longer intend to consummate any proposed use of funds detailed to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Budget or (B) the funds received by Borrowers exceed the actual cost of any such proposed use (each an Over-Allocation Event), then immediately following such Over-Allocation Event, Borrowers shall transfer the amount of funds not used in accordance with the proposed use of funds from the applicable Borrowers operating account to the applicable Collateral Account.

4.20 No Defaults. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.20(a), neither PERL nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 4.20(b) contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material Contracts (other than oil and gas leases) in effect on the Closing Date, and except as described thereon, all such Material Contracts (other than oil and gas leases) are in full force and effect and no defaults currently exist thereunder, except as set forth on such Schedule. 4.21 Margin Stock. Neither PERL nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans made to such Credit Party will be used to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of such Board of Governors. 4.22 Certain Fees. No brokers or finders fee or commission will be payable with respect hereto or any of the actions contemplated hereby, other than the fees set forth on Schedule 4.22 and other fees, in each case as approved by the Required Lenders and as set forth in the Budget. 4.23 Leases and Contracts; Performance of Obligations. The leases, deeds, and other agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties to which Proved Reserves are attributed in the Engineering Reports are in full force and effect. All rents, royalties and other payments due and payable under such leases, deeds, and other agreements have been properly and timely paid other than to the extent such could not reasonably be expected to cause the loss or forfeiture of any such Proved Reserves. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.23, no Credit Party is in default with respect to its obligations (and no Credit Party is aware of any default by any third party with respect to such third partys obligations) under any such leases, deeds, and other agreements, or under any Permitted Liens, or otherwise attendant to the ownership or operation of any part of the Oil and Gas Properties, where such default could adversely affect the ownership or operation of any Oil and Gas Properties to which any such Proved Reserves are attributed. No Credit Party is currently accounting for any royalties, or overriding royalties or other payments out of production, on a basis (other than delivery in kind) less favorable to such Credit Party than proceeds received by such Credit Party (calculated at the well) from sale of production, and no Credit Party has any liability (or alleged liability) to account for the same on any such less favorable basis. 4.24 Marketing Arrangements. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.24, no Oil and Gas Property is subject to any contractual or other arrangement (i) whereby payment for production is or can be deferred for a substantial period after the month in which such production is delivered (in the case of oil, not in excess of 60 days, and in the case of gas, not in excess of 90 days) or (ii) whereby payments are made to a Credit Party other than by checks, drafts, wire transfer advises or similar writings, instruments or communications for the immediate payment of money. Except for production sales contracts, processing agreements, transportation agreements and other agreements relating to the marketing of production that are listed in Schedule 4.24 in 55
A/72851779.11

connection with the Oil and Gas Properties to which such contract or agreement relates: (i) no Oil and Gas Property is subject to any contractual or other arrangement for the sale, processing or transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) which cannot be canceled on 120 days (or less) notice and (ii) all contractual or other arrangements for the sale, processing or transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) are bona fide arms length transactions made on the best terms reasonably available with third parties not affiliated with Credit Parties. Each Credit Party is presently receiving a price for all production from (or attributable to) each Oil and Gas Property covered by a production sales contract or marketing contract listed in Schedule 4.24 that is computed in accordance with the terms of such contract, and no Credit Party is having deliveries of production from such Oil and Gas Property curtailed by any purchaser or transporter of production substantially below such propertys delivery capacity, except for curtailments caused (a) by an act or event of force majeure not reasonably within the control of and not caused by the fault or negligence of a Credit Party and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence such Credit Party is unable to prevent or overcome, and (b) by routine maintenance requirements in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in Schedule 4.24. 4.25 Right to Receive Payment for Future Production. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.25, no Credit Party, nor any Credit Partys predecessors in title, has received prepayments (including payments for gas not taken pursuant to take or pay or other similar arrangements) for any oil, gas or other hydrocarbons produced or to be produced from any Oil and Gas Properties after the date hereof. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.25, and except for de minimus amounts of gas imbalances arising from time to time, no Oil and Gas Property is subject to any take or pay, gas imbalances or other similar arrangement (i) which can be satisfied in whole or in part by the production or transportation of gas from other properties or (ii) as a result of which production from any Oil and Gas Property may be required to be delivered to one or more third parties without payment (or without full payment) therefor as a result of payments made, or other actions taken, with respect to other properties. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.25, there is no Oil and Gas Property with respect to which any Credit Party, or any Credit Partys predecessors in title, has taken more (overproduced), or less (underproduced), gas from the lands covered thereby (or pooled or unitized therewith) than its ownership interest in such Oil and Gas Property would entitle it to take; and Schedule 4.25 accurately reflects, for each well or unit with respect to which such an imbalance is shown thereon to exist, (i) whether such Credit Party is overproduced or underproduced and (ii) the volumes (in cubic feet or BTUs) of such overproduction or underproduction and the effective date of such information. No Oil and Gas Property is subject to any regulatory refund obligation and, to the best of Credit Partys knowledge, no facts exist which might cause the same to be imposed. 4.26 Operation of Oil and Gas Properties. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.26, the Oil and Gas Properties (and all properties unitized therewith) are being (and, to the extent the same could adversely affect the ownership or operation of the Oil and Gas Properties after the date hereof, have in the past been) maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with prudent industry standards and in conformity with all applicable Laws and in conformity with all oil, gas or other mineral leases and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Property and in conformity with the Permitted Liens. No Oil and Gas Property is subject to having allowable production after the date hereof reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any 56

overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) prior to the date hereof and (ii) none of the wells located on the Oil and Gas Properties (or properties unitized therewith) are or will be deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders, and such wells are bottomed under and producing from, with the well bores wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or, in the case of wells located on properties unitized therewith, such unitized properties).

Each Credit Party has paid and discharged all ad valorem taxes assessed against its Oil and Gas Property or any part thereof and all production, severance and other taxes assessed against, or measured by, the production or the value, or proceeds, of the production therefrom. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9 and the Chevron Production Liens, there are no suits, actions, claims, investigations, inquiries, proceedings or demands pending (or, to any Credit Partys knowledge, threatened) which might affect the Oil and Gas Property, including any which challenge or otherwise pertain to any Credit Partys title to any Oil and Gas Property or rights to produce and sell oil and gas therefrom. 4.28 Employment Agreements. Schedule 4.28 sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all material employment agreements, agency, independent contractor and sales representative agreements, golden parachute agreements, change of control agreements and employee-related non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, in each case to which any Credit Party is a party. The Credit Parties have previously delivered true, correct and complete copies of all such agreements, including all amendments thereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.28, each such agreement is in writing, is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the respective parties thereto in accordance with its terms, and no Credit Party nor any other Person that is a party to any such agreement is in breach of, or in default with respect to, any of its obligations thereunder, nor is any Credit Party aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any breach or default thereunder which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.29 Capitalization. Schedule 4.29 sets forth a true, correct and complete description of the authorized and issued outstanding Capital Stock of each of PERLs Subsidiaries, including the holders thereof, as of the Closing Date.

All such issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and are free and clear of any Liens other than Liens granted pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Agreements or as contemplated pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and other restrictions (including any restrictions on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Capital Stock other than transfer restrictions imposed by applicable state and federal securities Laws) and of any preemptive or other similar rights to subscribe for or to purchase any such Capital Stock. All issuances, sales, and repurchases by PERL and each of its Subsidiaries of shares of its Capital Stock have been effected in compliance with all applicable Laws, including applicable federal and state securities Laws.

(b)

Collateral Security Perfection. Each of the Credit Parties agrees to take all action that any Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request as a matter of nonbankruptcy law to perfect and protect the applicable Collateral Agents Liens for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and upon the Collateral and for such Liens to obtain the priority therefor contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, executing and delivering such documents and instruments, financing statements, providing such notices and assents of third parties, obtaining such Governmental Authorizations and providing such other instruments and documents in recordable form as any Collateral Agent or any Lender may reasonably request. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the applicable Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Credit Party or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of the State of Delaware or such other jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of the State of Delaware or such other jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether such Credit Party is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to such Credit Party and, (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates.

(c)

A/72851779.11

(d)

Guarantees. The Obligations shall be guaranteed by each Borrower and each Subsidiary (direct or indirect) of the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty. The Borrowers shall notify the Lenders of the acquisition or formation of any new Subsidiary prior to such acquisition or formation. The Borrowers shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of such request, cause each of its Subsidiaries which is not a Guarantor to (i) execute and deliver to each of the Lenders and each Agent a guaranty which is substantially in the form of the Guaranty and which is satisfactory to the Required Lenders in all respects and (ii) execute and deliver to each of the Lenders and each Agent all other documents and instruments, including, without limitation, the items set forth in Section 5.14, corporate authority documents and legal opinions, as the Required Lenders may reasonably request in connection with the delivery of such guaranty.

7.2

Guaranty. (a) Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(b), Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 362(a)) (collectively, the Guaranteed Obligations). Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the Contributing Guarantors), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a Funding Guarantor) under this Guaranty that exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the amount of such other Contributing Guarantors Fair Share Shortfall as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each Contributing Guarantors Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. Fair Share means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. Fair Share Shortfall means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Contributing Guarantor over the Aggregate Payments of such Contributing Guarantor. Fair Share Contribution Amount means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to 82

(b)

A/72851779.11

avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2(b), any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. Aggregate Payments means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.2(b)), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2(b). The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2(b) shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2(b). (c) Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2(b), Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrowers to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for any Borrowers becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(d)

83
A/72851779.11

(i)

This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety; Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders) enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default; the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrowers and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrowers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantors liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantors covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantors liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantors liability hereunder, from time to time may (A) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (B) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (C) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (D) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed 84

Obligations; (E) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedging Contract and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrowers or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (F) exercise any other rights available to it under the Transaction Documents or the Hedging Contracts; and (vi) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Transaction Documents or the Hedging Contracts, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (B) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Transaction Documents, any of the Hedging Contracts or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Transaction Document, such Hedging Contract or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (C) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (D) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or any of the Hedging Contracts or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (E) any Beneficiarys consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or 85
A/72851779.11

existence of Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (F) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (G) any defenses, setoffs or counterclaims which Borrowers may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (H) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. (e) Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (i) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (A) proceed against Borrowers, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrowers, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrowers or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrowers or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrowers or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (iv) any defense based upon any Beneficiarys errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (v)(A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantors obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantors liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (vi) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedging Contracts or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrowers and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.2(d) and any right to consent to any thereof; and (vii) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. 86
A/72851779.11

(f)

Guarantors Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2(b). Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrowers or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrowers, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor.

Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations. Authority of Guarantors or Borrowers. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrowers or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. Financial Condition of Borrowers. Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrowers or continued from time to time, and any Hedging Contracts may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrowers at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedging Contract is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantors assessment, of the financial condition of Borrowers. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has adequate means to obtain information from Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrowers and their ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and the Hedging Contracts, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrowers now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary. California Waivers. Guarantors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of: (i) any suretyship defenses and suretyship rights of every nature otherwise available under California law and the laws of any other state, including, without limitation, all defenses and rights arising under Sections 2787 through 2855 (the Suretyship Provisions) of the California Civil Code (the Civil Code) and any successor provisions to those Sections. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby acknowledges its understanding that the Suretyship Provisions provide various partial or complete defenses to the recovery by Lender from such Guarantor and/or grant such Guarantor rights the enforcement of which could reduce or eliminate entirely such Guarantors liability hereunder to Lender. Among the defenses and rights contained in the Suretyship Provisions are the following:

(i)

(j)

(k)

88
A/72851779.11

(1) Section 2809 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that the obligation of a surety must not be either larger in amount or in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (2) Section 2810 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a surety is not liable if for any reason other than the mere personal disability of the principal there is no liability upon the part of the principal at the time of execution of the contract, or the liability of the principal thereafter ceases; (3) Section 2819 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a surety is exonerated if the creditor alters the original obligation of the principal without the consent of the surety; (4) Section 2845 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a surety is exonerated to the extent that the creditor fails to proceed against the principal, or to pursue any other remedy in the creditors power which the surety cannot pursue and which would lighten the suretys burden; (5) Section 2846 of the Civil Code, which provides that a surety may compel his principal to perform the obligation when due; (6) Section 2847 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that if a surety satisfies the principal obligation, or any part thereof, the principal is obligated to reimburse the surety for the amounts paid by the surety; (7) Section 2848 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a surety, upon satisfaction of the obligation of the principal is entitled to enforce remedies which the creditor then has against the principal; (8) Section 2849 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a surety is entitled to the benefit of security held by the creditor for the performance of the principal obligation held by the creditor; (9) Section 2850 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that whenever the property of a surety is hypothecated with property of the principal, the surety is entitled to have the property of the principal first applied to the discharge of the obligation; and (10) Section 2822 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, for a right to have the principal designate the portion of any obligation to be satisfied by the surety in the event that the principal provides partial satisfaction of such obligation. (ii) all rights and defenses that any Guarantor may have because Borrowers debt is secured by real property. This means among other things:

(1) Lender may collect from any Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrowers.

89
A/72851779.11

(2) Borrowers:

If Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by (A) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price. Lender may collect from any Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from Borrowers.

(B)

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Guarantor may have because Borrowers debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. (iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Guarantors rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. This Section 7.2(k) is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(iv)

SECTION 8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT 8.1 Events of Default. If any one or more of the following conditions or events (each herein called an Event of Default) shall occur: (a) Any Credit Party fails to pay the principal component of any Obligation when due and payable, whether at a date for the payment of a fixed installment or as a contingent or other payment becomes due and payable or as a result of acceleration or otherwise, and such failure is not remedied in full within one (1) Business Day thereafter; Any Credit Party fails to pay any Obligation (other than the Obligations described in subsection (a) above) when due and payable, whether at a date for the payment of a fixed installment or as a contingent or other payment becomes due and payable or as a result of acceleration or otherwise, within two (2) Business Days after the same becomes due in the case of interest or fifteen (15) days thereafter in the case of any other Obligation;

modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participants participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be deemed to constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participants participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.

10.6 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 10.7 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements; Termination.

108

Upon the proper receipt by Administrative Agent of such a notice at such a time, then this Agreement and all Security Documents shall thereupon be terminated, except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 10.7(a) of this Agreement or in any similar provision of any Security Document that expressly provides for the survival of specified provisions thereof. At the request and expense of Borrowers, the applicable Collateral Agent shall prepare and execute all necessary instruments to reflect and effect such termination and the release of the Collateral. Each Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute all such instruments on behalf of all Lenders and Lender Counterparties, without the joinder of or further action by any Lender or Lender Counterparty.

(b)

10.8 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Hedging Contracts. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 10.9 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Upon entry of the Final Order, neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to any Agent or Lenders (or to any Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 10.10 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the 109
A/72851779.11

remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 10.11 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 10.12 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 10.13 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION IS EXPRESSLY ELECTED IN A TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW 5-1401 AND 5-1402) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING THE BANKRUPTCY CODE). 10.14 CONSENT TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT OR IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (a) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (b) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (d) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (c) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (e) AGREES AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY

(a) Each Lender and each Agent agrees that it will take all reasonable steps to keep confidential any proprietary information regarding each Credit Party and its business identified as confidential by such Credit Party and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof, it being understood and agreed by such Credit Party that, in any event, a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.16), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Hedging Contracts 111

(b) Administrative Agent, Lenders, and Credit Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that if any Credit Party has made a commercially reasonable effort to contact Administrative Agent and Lenders regarding a disclosure and has been unable to arrange the consultation referred to above prior to a public disclosure deadline established by Law or by the rules of any stock exchange where PERLs securities trade, then the public disclosure may be made without such consultation to the extent required by such Law or by such rules. No such Person shall issue any such press release or make any public statement without the agreement of the other parties, except as may be required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange where PERLs securities trade.

10.17 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such

112
A/72851779.11

Lenders option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrowers. 10.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, all of which when so executed shall be deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery by electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 10.19 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrowers and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. 10.20 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrowers and each other Credit Party 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 Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of such Persons and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Persons in accordance with the Act. 10.21 PERL ISDA Agreement. The PERL ISDA Agreement, as amended pursuant to the Postpetition Hedge Amendment, shall be deemed to be an assumed executory contract pursuant to the relevant provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, without further action of PERL, subject only to the execution by PERL and the Hedge Provider of the Postpetition Hedge Amendment, and any obligations of PERL thereunder shall accordingly be treated as having arisen subsequent to the Petition Date. PERL is authorized and has been directed to execute and enter into the Postpetition Hedge Amendment prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of the Transaction Documents. Any amendment or modification to the PERL ISDA Agreement or the Postpetition Hedge Agreement that may result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the position of the Lenders shall require the consent of the Required Lenders. 10.22 Order. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of any of the Transaction Documents and the Interim Order or the Final Order, whichever is in effect at the time of reference thereto, the provisions of the Interim Order or the Final Order, as the case may be, shall govern and control.

SCHEDULE 4.7 TO SENIOR SECURED SUPER PRIORITY DEBTOR IN POSSESSION CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT Other Obligations and Restrictions Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC has failed to pay certain joint interest billings to Chevron. Chevron has the right under the joint operating agreement to place a lien on Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLCs share of production if its joint interest billings are not paid on time. Chevron has exercised, and continues to exercise, this right, the effect of which is to offset Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLCs share of production to reduce the joint interest billings owed by Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC to Chevron.

SCHEDULE 4.9 TO SENIOR SECURED SUPER PRIORITY DEBTOR IN POSSESSION CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT Litigation Forest Oil Corporation v. Union Oil Company of California et al. Case No. 3:05-cv-00078-RRB (United States District Court for the District of Alaska) Summary In 2005, prior to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.s acquisition of Alaska assets from Forest Oil Corporation (Forest Oil), Forest Oil brought suit against Union Oil Company of California (Union Oil) requesting an accounting, injunction and other relief under Trading Bay Unit agreements. Union Oil (now Chevron pursuant to a merger between Union Oil and Chevron) is the operator of that unit. The complaint alleges that additional sums were due to Forest Oil as a result of Union Oils conduct as unit operator. Union Oil counterclaimed for money and a lien, under the unit agreements. Prior to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.s acquisition of the Alaska assets, Chevron added Forest Alaska Operating LLC (now Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC) as a party, claiming it was the appropriate party in interest because Forest Oil had transferred all of its rights under the operating agreement to what is now Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC. An amendment to the membership interest purchase agreement transferring Forest Alaska Operating LLC to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. contains a provision adding this suit to Forest Oils indemnification requirements. Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. has engaged separate counsel to represent Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC in the case. Forest Oil remains in the case as a party plaintiff, represented by its own counsel. Forest Oil has confirmed its indemnity obligations to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. and has agreed to pay for Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.s separate counsel. Status The court had held that all of Forest Oils claims in the litigation were transferred to Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC. Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC subsequently transferred the claims back to Forest Oil. What is not clear is whether Chevrons counterclaims originally asserted against Forest Oil were also transferred to Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC or whether they remain as claims against Forest Oil. The amount of Chevrons counterclaim is $13 million. Settlement discussions between Forest Oil and Chevron have indicated that Chevrons internal assessment of the value of its counterclaims is no more than $1.6 million. Forest Oil believes that the probable value is less than that amount. Any judgments on the basis of Chevrons counterclaims would be offset by the amounts of Forest Oils claims that are accepted by the court. Current settlement discussions between Forest Oil and Chevron do not contemplate that Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC be required to make any settlement payments. Most likely any exposure to Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC would be based on a lien claim rather than direct liability for monetary damages. Forest Oil is contractually obligated to satisfy any lien claim and release Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLCs property. The likelihood of a judgment in favor of Chevron in the amount of $1.6 million or more is not likely. There is some possibility of an affirmative judgment in favor of Chevron in some amount if this

995220

Schedule 4.9 Page 1 of 4

SCHEDULE 4.9 (continued) TO SENIOR SECURED SUPER PRIORITY DEBTOR IN POSSESSION CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT matter proceeds to trial, although it would be (a) most likely reflected as a claim of lien against Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLCs Trading Bay Unit interest, (b) offset by any money judgment obtained by Forest Oil and (c) subject to Forest Oils indemnity obligations. A current settlement proposal would resolve all claims and counter claims through Chevrons payment to Marathon Oil Company in related but separate litigation. This payment would remove a potential liability of Chevron, Forest Oil, and Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC. However, this proposal may fail because Forest Oil and Marathon Oil Company are unable to agree whether this settlement would include a release by Chevron of future Trading Bay liabilities. Marathon Oil Company v. Forest Oil Corporation, Union Oil Company of California d/b/a Unocal Alaska and Chevron Corporation Case No. 3:06-cv-00102-JKS (United States District Court for the District of Alaska) Summary This lawsuit was filed on May 3, 2006 (prior to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.s acquisition of Forest Alaska Operating LLC) in the United States District Court for the District of Alaska at Anchorage. The lawsuit involves the allocation of charges between oil production and gas production on the Steelhead Platform located in Cook Inlet, Alaska. Unocal Alaska operates the platform and both Forest Oil (now Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC) and Unocal Alaska utilize the platform for oil production. Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) and Unocal Alaska use the platform for gas production. Marathon alleges that Forest Oil breached its December 12, 1996 purchase and sale agreement with Forcenergy (later merged into Forest Oil) in failing to satisfy the obligation to pay reasonable and necessary expenses relating to this operation. Marathon also alleges that Forest Oil has been unjustly enriched in that, due to the problem with the allocation, Marathon was forced to pay for certain expenses which were properly the obligation of Forest Oil. Marathon asks for damages, an accounting for the operations on the platform and for declaratory relief. Forest Oil has filed an answer denying liability. An amendment to the membership interest purchase agreement transferring Forest Alaska Operating LLC to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. contains a provision adding this suit to Forest Oils indemnification requirements. Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. has engaged separate counsel to represent Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC in the case. Forest Oil remains in the case as a party plaintiff, represented by its own counsel. Forest Oil has agreed to pay for Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.s separate counsel and has acknowledged certain of its indemnity obligations to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd., but disputes the extent of its indemnity obligations for the period subsequent to Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.s acquisition of Forest Oil's membership interest in Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC. Status The court recently ruled on certain cross motions for summary judgment and essentially the only claims which remain in the lawsuit are Marathons contractual claims against Unocal Alaska under the Unit Operating Agreement relating to fair and equitable adjustment. The court granted summary judgment to Forest Oil on all of Marathons direct contractual and equitable claims against it and Forest Oil has been dismissed from the lawsuit.
Schedule 4.9 Page 2 of 4

995220

SCHEDULE 4.9 (continued) TO SENIOR SECURED SUPER PRIORITY DEBTOR IN POSSESSION CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT On January 13, 2009, Unocal Alaska filed a motion for leave to file a cross-claim against Forest Oil and Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC to recover under the unit operating agreement or on equitable grounds any amounts which Marathon might recover from Unocal Alaska in the lawsuit. Two days later, the court sua sponte denied Unocal Alaskas motion because of undue delay in seeking to assert the claims against Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC. The court also ordered Marathon to show cause why Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC should not be dismissed from the lawsuit on the general theory that all the claims which might be asserted against Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC were derivative of those against Forest Oil, which had already been dismissed. On February 6, 2009, Marathon responded, admitting that the rationale of the courts summary judgment decision mandated dismissal of Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC. On February 12, 2009, the court dismissed all claims against Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC in the lawsuit with prejudice. The remaining issues between Marathon and Unocal Alaska will likely go to trial in approximately nine months. Unocal Alaska and Marathon have begun preliminary discussions to explore settlement of this matter rather than litigating it in federal court. On February 5, 2009, Marathon made a settlement offer to Unocal Alaska, the terms of which are that those parties would agree to convert the accounting methodology for the miscellaneous cost center from the barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) method to the 50% BOE/50% well count hybrid method for 2002-2005 and agree to the hybrid method on a going forward basis from January 1, 2006. The spreadsheets supplied with the offer suggest that would result in a charge of about $680,000 to the oil WIPAs. In conversations with counsel for Unocal Alaska, he believes that Unocal Alaska would first charge that amount to Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC with the expectation that Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC would tender that claim to Forest Oil under the indemnity agreement between the Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC and Forest Oil. On February 20, 2009, Unocal Alaska made a counteroffer to Marathon that each of them would dismiss all claims in this lawsuit and a related lawsuit and absorb their own litigation costs. To date, however, Unocal Alaska has evidenced an unwillingness to release Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC and Forest Oil from claims for contribution in the referenced lawsuit. Net Revenue Share for Beta Field Pursuant to an October 20, 2008 letter from the United States Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Services (MMS), the MMS has extended the current net revenue share royalty relief arrangement applicable to leases OCS-P 0300 and 0301, Beta Field, until March 31, 2010. However, if a new net revenue share arrangement is not established by March 31, 2010, then the net revenue share will become fixed at a 25% royalty. Depending on the oil price, a 25% royalty could have a Material Adverse Effect. Chevron Opposition to Working Interest Assignments Chevron has filed a letter in opposition to approval of working interest assignments to whollyowned subsidiaries of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Silver Point Finance LLC with the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Such assignments are pending.

SCHEDULE 4.9 (continued) TO SENIOR SECURED SUPER PRIORITY DEBTOR IN POSSESSION CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT Corsair Unit Expansion Appeal On April 30, 2008, the DNR, Division of Oil and Gas, issued its Denial of the Application for the First Expansion of the Corsair Unit. On May 16, 2008, Pacific Energy Resources Ltd., as Operator of the Corsair Unit, submitted a Corsair Unit Expansion Appeal of Director Banks Decision and Request for Reconsideration. On December 3, 2008, the DNR issued the Commissioners Findings and Decision, affirming the DNRs decision to deny Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.s application for expansion of the Corsair Unit. Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. filed an application for rehearing of the denial in January 2009. If the rehearing is denied, Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. anticipates that it may appeal the decision to the Superior Court of the State of Alaska. If Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. loses its appeals, it is anticipated that it will forfeit its $100,000 deposit and that the Corsair Unit leases will be terminated. Corsair Unit Default Notice Heavy Lift Appeal On April 1, 2008, the DNR, Division of Oil and Gas, conditionally accepted a Corsair Unit default cure provided by Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. as Operator of the Corsair Unit. The DNRs conditional acceptance established two work commitments. The first commitment was timely satisfied by Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. The second commitment was the procurement of a signed contract for a heavy lift vessel capable of transporting the Blake 151 rig to Cook Inlet, Alaska, on or prior to July 31, 2008, which date was later extended at the request of Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. to September 29, 2008. Additional time to procure a signed contract, as well as certain lease extensions in order to make the venture economically feasible in a deteriorating financial market, were requested by Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. in a letter to the DNR dated October 31, 2008. On December 1, 2008, the DNR placed the Corsair Unit in default alleging that Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. had not complied with the terms of the Corsair Unit Plan of Exploration. Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. is in the process of preparing an administrative appeal of the DNRs decision. If the administrative appeal is not successful, Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. anticipates that it may appeal the DNRs decision to the Superior Court of the State of Alaska. If Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. loses its appeals, it is anticipated that it will forfeit its $100,000 deposit and that the Corsair Unit leases will be terminated.

SCHEDULE 4.19 TO SENIOR SECURED SUPER PRIORITY DEBTOR IN POSSESSION CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT Title to Properties With respect to Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC, no representation or warranty respecting good or marketable title can be made in connection with leases ADL-47567 and ADL47562. With respect to exploration licenses, only exploration rights, and not any rights to produce or market oil and gas, have been granted thereunder. Only if and when one or more oil and gas leases have been issued will the holder(s) thereof have any rights to produce oil and gas. Due to failure to comply with DNR work obligation deadline requirements, Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC is appealing its rights to the Corsair leases (oil and gas leases bearing ADL Nos. 389923; 389507; 389514; 389513; 389197; 389196; 389198; and 389515) and to develop the Corsair Unit. The outcome of such appeal is pending the decision of DNR to approve or reject pending proposals to create a new unit that will contain such lease acreage. It is possible that Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. and Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC may obtain some future payment from the Corsair prospect pursuant to assignments of its working interests in such leases pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated February 11, 2009, among Pacific Energy Resources Ltd., Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC and Escopeta Oil Company, L.L.C. regarding Farm-out of Oil and Gas Lease bearing ADL Nos. 389923; 389507; 389514; 389513; 389197; 389196; 389198; and 389515, Cook Inlet Basin, Alaska.

The entering into of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as well as the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, by the Credit Parties may result in certain defaults under the PEAO Second Lien Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the PEAO Second Lien Credit Agreement).

As of early February 2009, Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC has stopped delivering gas under that certain Fuel Gas Supply Agreement between Forest Oil Corporation and Union Oil Company of California dated November 25, 2002 (as assigned by Forest Oil Corporation to Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC).

consent of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously: (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process; (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agents offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. (b) The Collateral Agent or any Lender Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Lender Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent 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.

A/72858066.7

any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. (c) The Collateral Agent or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale from the Collateral Agent or similar Person, shall have the right to cause all rights and obligations of any Grantor under or in respect of all executory contracts and agreements to which any Grantor is a party and which constitute part of the Collateral to be assumed or rejected pursuant to 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code as the Collateral Agent or such Person may direct (except to the extent that such obligations were theretofore duly rejected by such Grantor), and to cause such rights or obligations to be assigned to the Collateral Agent or to such Person pursuant to 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (assuming that adequate assurance of future performance is given). To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Grantors agrees that the Collateral Agent and such other Persons shall have the right to effect such assumption, rejection or assignment, all as the Collateral Agent or such Persons may direct without further action by any Grantor. Each of the Grantors hereby agrees to take all such action as the Collateral Agent and such other Persons may reasonably request to effect any such assumption, rejection or assignment (including but not limited to, in the case of assumption, the Collateral Agent reserving its rights under Section 6 hereof to cure any defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance to the extent that any Grantor refuses or otherwise fails to do so). In addition to the rights and remedies described hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement. (d) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. (e) Collateral. 7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshall any of the

A/72858066.7

If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser.

Subject to Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and the Order, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 7.5 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 7.6 Intellectual Property.

A/72858066.7

(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7.6 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located. 7.7 Cash Proceeds.

The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Order. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Lender Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Lender Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent (upon the request or consent of the Required Lenders) for the benefit of Lenders and Lender Counterparties in accordance with the terms of this Section.

Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process; (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agents offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. (b) The Collateral Agent or any Lender Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Lender Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent 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 Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable 21
653157.04-Chicago Server 1A - MSW

injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. (c) The Collateral Agent or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale from the Collateral Agent or similar Person, shall have the right to cause all rights and obligations of any Grantor under or in respect of all executory contracts and agreements to which any Grantor is a party and which constitute part of the Collateral to be assumed or rejected pursuant to 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code as the Collateral Agent or such Person may direct (except to the extent that such obligations were theretofore duly rejected by such Grantor), and to cause such rights or obligations to be assigned to the Collateral Agent or to such Person pursuant to 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (assuming that adequate assurance of future performance is given). To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Grantors agrees that the Collateral Agent and such other Persons shall have the right to effect such assumption, rejection or assignment, all as the Collateral Agent or such Persons may direct without further action by any Grantor. Each of the Grantors hereby agrees to take all such action as the Collateral Agent and such other Persons may reasonably request to effect any such assumption, rejection or assignment (including but not limited to, in the case of assumption, the Collateral Agent reserving its rights under Section 6 hereof to cure any defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance to the extent that any Grantor refuses or otherwise fails to do so). In addition to the rights and remedies described hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement. (d) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. (e) Collateral. 7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent to the Administrative Agent to be applied in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement. 7.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may, upon the request or consent of the Required Lenders, resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshall any of the

22
653157.04-Chicago Server 1A - MSW

7.4 Deposit Accounts. Subject to Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and the Order, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 7.5 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 7.6 Intellectual Property.

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and subject to Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and the Order: (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agents sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, 23
653157.04-Chicago Server 1A - MSW

whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent an absolute assignment of all of such Grantors right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any Lender Party) receives Cash Proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property; (iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantors power and authority, such personnel in such Grantors employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agents behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantors expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and (v) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done; (1) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and

24
653157.04-Chicago Server 1A - MSW

(2) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantors sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agents security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Lender Parties. (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7.6 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located. 7.7 Cash Proceeds. All proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, Cash Proceeds) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, and shall be applied and paid as provided in Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be applied and paid as provided in Sections 2.9 and 2.10 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Required Lenders, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing. SECTION 8. AGENT The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as collateral agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Lender Parties. The Collateral Agent 25
653157.04-Chicago Server 1A - MSW

shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Order. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Lender Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Lender Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent (upon the request or consent of the Required Lenders) for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section. SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the 26
653157.04-Chicago Server 1A - MSW

Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns (including any debtor in possession on behalf of any Grantor). No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Transaction Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not take any actions with respect to the Collateral without the written consent or request of the Required Lenders. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall govern and control. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Order, the provisions of the Order shall govern and control. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW 5-1401 AND 5-1402) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING THE BANKRUPTCY CODE).

The First Lien Creditor (or following (i) the written consent of the First Lien Creditor or (ii) the receipt by Depository of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations sent by the First Lien Creditor, the Second Lien Creditor) shall provide Depository with such information as Depository may require to make such transfer, including the name and routing number of the applicable Creditors bank and the account number of the applicable Creditors account at such bank to which the funds are to be transferred. Customer, the First Lien Creditor and the Second Lien Creditor understand that a funds transfer by Depository may be delayed or not made if the transfer would cause Depository to violate any applicable law or regulation. 3. Priority of Creditors Security Interest; Rights Reserved by Depository.

(a) All of Depositorys present and future rights against the Account are subordinate to the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Creditors security interests therein; provided however, that the Creditors agree that nothing herein subordinates or waives, and that Depository expressly reserves, all of Depositorys present and future rights (whether described as rights of setoff, bankers lien, chargeback or otherwise, and whether available to Depository under law or any other agreement between Depository and Customer concerning the Account, or otherwise) with respect to: (i) any item deposited to the Account and returned unpaid, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of such return or the occurrence or timeliness of any drawees notice of non-payment; (ii) any item subject to a claim against Depository of breach of transfer or presentment warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the applicable state; (iii) any automated clearing house (ACH) entry credited to the Account and returned unpaid or subject to an adjustment entry under applicable clearing house rules, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of such return or adjustment; (iv) any credit to the Account from a merchant card transaction, against which a contractual demand for chargeback has been made;

(v) any credit to the Account made in error; and (vi) Depositorys usual and customary charges for services rendered in connection with the Account. Items, entries, and transactions described in clauses (i) through (v) of this paragraph are hereinafter collectively referred to as Returned Items. (b) Except as otherwise required by law, Depository will not agree with any third party to comply with Orders originated by such third party; provided that if Depository is required by law to agree with such third party, Depository will provide the Creditors notice unless prohibited by law. As of the date hereof, Depository agrees that there is no agreement between Depository and any third party (other than Creditors) in which Depository agrees to comply with Orders originated by any third party (other than Creditors) with respect to the Account. 4. Returned Item Amounts. Customer and Creditors understand and agree that Depository will collect the amount of each Returned Item by debiting the Account. Customer shall pay the amount of each Returned Item immediately upon demand to the extent there are not sufficient funds in the Account to cover such amount on the day of the debit. Each of the Creditors agrees to pay the amount of each Returned Item within twenty (20) days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent that (i) the Returned Item Amounts are not paid in full by Company within ten (10) days after demand on Customer by Depository, and (ii) such Creditor has received proceeds from the corresponding Returned Items; provided however, that if Depository is stayed from making such demand upon Customer as a result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, then Depository shall be deemed to have made such demand upon Customer at the commencement of such proceeding. Depository agrees that any demand upon such Creditor for payment of such amount shall be made within one hundred twenty (120) days after termination of this Agreement. 5. Statements; Notices of Adverse Claims. Depository will send copies of all statements for the Account simultaneously to Customer and Creditors. Depository may disclose to Creditors such other information concerning the Account as Creditors may from time to time request; provided however, that Depository shall have no duty or obligation to comply with any such request. Except as otherwise required by law, Depository will use reasonable efforts promptly to notify Creditors and Customer if Depository receives a notice that any other person claims that it has a property interest in the Account. Customer and Creditors shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of a statement of the Account to notify Depository of an error in such statement. Depositorys liability for any such error is limited in accordance with Section 6 hereof. 6. Depositorys Responsibility.

(a) Except for permitting a withdrawal in violation of Section 2 hereof, Depository will not be liable to Creditors for complying with Orders from Customer that are received by Depository before Depository receives and has a reasonable opportunity to act on a contrary Order from the First Lien Creditor or the Second Lien Creditor. (b) Depository will not be liable to Customer for complying with Orders originated by the First Lien Creditor or the Second Lien Creditor, even if Customer notifies

2165/023353-0027 996729.03

-4-

Depository that the applicable Creditor is not legally entitled to issue Orders, unless Depository takes the action after it is served with an injunction, restraining order, or other legal process enjoining it from doing so, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining order or other legal process. (c) This Agreement does not create any obligation of Depository except for those expressly set forth herein. In particular, Depository need not investigate whether any Creditor is entitled under such Creditors agreements with Customer to give Orders. Depository may rely on any and all notices and communications it believes are given by the appropriate party. (d) Depository will not have any liability to Customer, First Lien Creditor or Second Lien Creditor for claims, losses, liabilities or damages resulting from any failure to comply with Orders or delay in complying with Orders if such failure or delay is due to circumstances beyond Depositorys reasonable control. (e) Depository will not have any liability to Customer, First Lien Creditor or Second Lien Creditor for claims, losses, liabilities or damages suffered or incurred by Customer or Creditors as a result of or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such losses, liabilities and damages directly result from Depositorys gross negligence or willful misconduct. (f) In no event will Depository have any liability to Customer, First Lien Creditor or Second Lien Creditor in connection herewith for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect loss or damage whether or not any claim for such damages is based on tort or contract or Depository knew or should have known the likelihood of such damages in any circumstances. 7. Indemnity.

(a) Customer will indemnify Depository, its officers, directors, employees, and agents against claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and the reasonable estimate of the allocated costs and expenses of Depositorys in-house legal counsel and staff) arising out of this Agreement or Depository following any Order or other instruction or request of Customer, First Lien Creditor or Second Lien Creditor in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent the claims, liabilities, costs and expenses are caused by Depositorys gross negligence or willful misconduct. (b) Each Creditor will indemnify Depository, its officers, directors, employees, and agents against claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and the reasonable estimate of the allocated costs and expenses of Depositorys in-house legal counsel and staff), arising out of Depository following any Order or other instruction or request of such Creditor in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent the claims, liabilities, costs and expenses are caused by Depositorys gross negligence or willful misconduct. The First Lien Creditor or Second Lien Creditor, as applicable, will pay such amount as may be due to Depository under this indemnity within twenty (20) days of demand on such Creditor by Depository to the extent such amount has not been paid in full by Customer within fifteen (15) days after demand on Customer by Depository; provided however, that if Depository is stayed from making such demand upon

2165/023353-0027 996729.03

-5-

Customer as a result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, then Depository shall be deemed to have made such demand upon Customer at the commencement of such proceeding. The indemnification obligations hereunder of each Creditor shall terminate one hundred twenty (120) days after termination of this Agreement except with respect to claims made by Depository in writing to the applicable Creditor prior to expiration of such one hundred twenty (120) day period. No Creditor shall have any indemnification obligations hereunder as a result of any action or inaction on the part of the other Creditor. 8. Termination; Survival.

(a) Each Creditor may terminate this Agreement by notice to Depository and Customer; provided that this Agreement shall remain effective as to the non-terminating Creditor, Depository and Customer. Depository may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days notice to Creditors and Customer; provided however that this Agreement may be terminated with five (5) days notice from Depository to Creditors and Customer should Creditors fail to make any payment when due from Creditors to Depository hereunder. (b) This Agreement shall terminate upon Depositorys receipt of written notice from each Creditor expressly stating that each Creditor no longer claims any security interest in the Account. (c) Sections 4, Returned Item Amounts, 6, Responsibility, and 7, Indemnity, will survive termination of this Agreement. Depositorys

Payout Arrangements

Ladies and Gentlemen: We refer to (a) the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2006 (as amended and in effect on the date hereof, the Credit Agreement), by and among (i) Pacific Energy Resources Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the Borrower), (ii) certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower signatory thereto as Guarantors (the Guarantors, and together with Borrower, the Credit Parties), (iii) the Lenders from time to time party thereto (the Lenders), (iv) J. Aron & Company, as Lead Arranger and Syndication Agent, and (v) J. Aron & Company as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the Agent) for itself and the other Lenders and (b) the Forbearance Agreement and Eighth Amendment to Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2008 (as amended, the Forbearance Agreement), by and among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and J. Aron & Company, individually as a Lender, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders and as Hedge Provider (as defined therein). We also refer to the Interim Order for In re: Pacific Energy Resources Ltd., et al., at Case No. 09-10785 (1) approving senior secured superpriority postpetition financing, (2) authorizing use of cash collateral, (3) granting liens and providing superpriority administrative expense status, (4) granting adequate protection, (5) modifying automatic stay, and (6) scheduling a final hearing. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower has advised the Agent that it intends to repay all amounts (unless otherwise provided herein) outstanding under the Credit Agreement (including the outstanding principal amount of the loans, interest thereon, unpaid fees and expenses in respect thereof, and any makewhole payments payable as a result of the prepayment thereof (the Premium)) and has requested that the Agent provide it with appropriate pay-off figures for the such amounts owing by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement. The pay-off figures for the Borrower as of March 8, 2009 (the Petition Date) under the Credit Agreement are as follows (collectively, together with any additional interest accruing, any additional make-whole payments, or legal fees and expenses incurred after the Petition Date and prior to the Pay-Off Date (as defined below), the Pay-Off Amount):

Principal: Interest: Premium: Total

$39,115,065.02 $1,265,964.80 $3,818,531.13 $44,199,560.95

From and after the Petition Date and until the Pay-Off Date (as defined below), (i) interest shall continue to accrue on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans and (ii) the Premium shall be recalculated, to the extent necessary. The Borrower further agrees to pay all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by counsel to the Agent in connection with this letter and the termination of the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including those amounts which are billed after the Petition Date in the ordinary course of business following presentation of invoices therefor. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a revised figure for the amount of interest, and a revised figure for the Premium, if applicable, to be paid as part of the Pay-Off Amount plus any additional legal fees and expenses incurred since the Petition Date and to be paid as part of the Pay-Off Amount. The Borrower and the Agent on behalf of the Lenders acknowledge and agree that, upon the Agents receipt of payment in full in cash of the Pay-Off Amount, including any additional interest accruing after the Petition Date, on or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of payment (the time of the Agents receipt of such payment being hereinafter referred to as the PayOff Date), then (i) all indebtedness and Obligations (other than any Lender Hedging Obligations) of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the obligations under the Forbearance Agreement), shall be deemed to be and shall be paid and discharged in full, and the Credit Agreement and all Commitments of the Agent and any Lender to lend thereunder shall be deemed to be terminated, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to terminate or otherwise impair those expense reimbursement, indemnification or other provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which by their express terms survive the repayment of the Loans. Borrower and each Guarantor, on behalf of themselves and their respective agents, representatives, officers, directors, advisors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the Releasors), hereby forever agree and covenant not to sue or prosecute against the Agent, Lenders and Lender Counterparty and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders and controlling persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and their respective successors and assigns and each and all of the officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other representatives of each of the foregoing in their respective capacities as such (collectively, the Releasees), and hereby forever waive, release and discharge, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Releasee from any and all claims (including, without limitation, crossclaims, counterclaims, rights of set-off and recoupment), actions, causes of action, suits, debts, accounts, interests, liens, promises, warranties, damages and consequential damages, demands, agreements, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, controversies, variances, trespasses, judgments, executions, costs or expenses whatsoever (collectively, the Claims) that such Releasor now has or hereafter may have, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising at law or in equity, against the Releasees, based in whole or in part on facts, whether or not now known, existing on or before the Petition Date, that relate to, arise out of or otherwise are in connection with: (i) any or all of the Transaction Documents or any Hedging Contract or transactions contemplated thereby or any

The receipt by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any Loans or other financial accommodations made by any Lender under the Credit Agreement on or after the date hereof shall constitute a ratification, adoption, and confirmation by such party of the foregoing general release of all Claims against the Releasees which are based in whole or in part on facts, whether or not now known or unknown, existing on or prior to the date of receipt of any such Loans or other financial accommodations. Borrower and each Guarantor has consulted with, and has been represented by, legal counsel and expressly disclaims any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the Releasees (other than the terms and conditions expressly set forth in the Credit Agreement) and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth above do not depend in any way on any such representations, acts and/or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity the Credit Agreement (other than the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein).
