ii SECURITY AGREEMENT SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of December 20, 2005 made by AREP OIL & GAS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "BORROWER"), the other Persons listed on the signature pages hereof and the Additional Grantors (as defined in Section 21) (the Borrower, the Persons so listed and the Additional Grantors being collectively the "GRANTORS"), to CITIBANK USA, INC., as administrative agent (the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT") for the Secured Parties (as hereinafter defined)). PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. (1) The Borrower has entered into the Credit Agreement dated as of December 20, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"; capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) with certain Lenders party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent (the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT"), and Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc., as syndication agent. (2) As contemplated in the Credit Agreement, the Grantors owe, and may hereafter owe, Lender Hedging Obligations to some or all of the Lender Parties and their Affiliates. The Lender Hedging Contracts under which such Lender Hedging Obligations are owed are herein called the "LENDER HEDGING CONTRACTS". The Lender Parties, together with all such Affiliates to which Lender Hedging Obligations are at any time owing, are herein called the "SECURED PARTIES". (3) The Grantors are entering into this Agreement in order to grant to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in the Collateral (as hereinafter defined). (4) Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of stock or other Equity (the "INITIAL PLEDGED EQUITY") set forth opposite such Grantor's name on and as otherwise described in Part I of Schedule II hereto and issued by the Persons named therein and of the indebtedness (the "INITIAL PLEDGED DEBT") set forth opposite such Grantor's name on and as otherwise described in Part II of Schedule II hereto and issued by the obligors named therein. (5) The Grantors have security entitlements (the "PLEDGED SECURITY ENTITLEMENTS") with respect to all the financial assets (the "PLEDGED FINANCIAL ASSETS") credited from time to time to the Grantors' securities accounts (the "SECURITIES ACCOUNTS"), in their respective names and subject to this Agreement, described in Schedule V hereto. (6) The Grantors have opened deposit accounts (the "DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS") with banks, in their respective names and subject to this Agreement, as described in Schedule V hereto. (7) It is a condition precedent to the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the entry into Lender Hedging Contracts by the Lenders from time to time that the Grantors shall have granted the assignment and security interest and made the pledge and assignment contemplated by this Agreement. (8) Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Lender Hedging Contracts. (9) Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the UCC (as defined below) and/or in the Federal Book Entry Regulations (as defined below) are used in this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9 and/or the Federal Book Entry Regulations. "UCC" means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect, from time to time, in the State of New York; provided that, if perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of any security interest in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, "UCC" means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection, effect of perfection or non-perfection or priority. "FEDERAL BOOK ENTRY REGULATIONS" means (a) the federal regulations contained in Subpart B ("Treasury/Reserve Automated Debt Entry System (TRADES)") governing book-entry securities consisting of U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills and Subpart D ("ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS") of 31 C.F.R. Part 357, 31 C.F.R.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Secured Parties to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and to induce the Secured Parties to enter into Lender Hedging Contracts from time to time, each Grantor agrees with the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties as follows: Section 1.

No Grantor shall terminate any securities intermediary or terminate any Securities Account, except that a Grantor may terminate a Securities Account, and terminate a securities intermediary with respect to such Securities Account if it gives the Administrative Agent at least 10 days' prior written notice of such termination (and, upon such termination, Schedule V hereto shall be automatically amended to delete such securities intermediary and Securities Account). (e) Upon any termination by a Grantor of any Securities Account or any securities intermediary with respect thereto, such Grantor will immediately: (i) transfer all property held in such terminated Securities Account to another Securities Account, and (ii) notify all Obligors that were making payments to such Securities Account to make all future payments to another Securities Account, in each case so that the Administrative Agent shall have a continuously perfected security interest in such Account Collateral, funds and property.

(g) The Administrative Agent may transfer, direct the transfer of, or sell property credited to any Securities Account to satisfy the Grantor's obligations under the Loan Documents and Lender Hedging Contracts if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 7 (h) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of Pledged Debt that such Pledged Debt is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

(b) Each Grantor will promptly instruct each Person obligated at any time to make any payment to such Grantor for any reason (an "OBLIGOR") to make such payment to a Deposit Account. (c) Except for any deposit account holding LC Collateral, no Grantor will add any bank that maintains a deposit account for such Grantor or open any new deposit account with any then existing Pledged Account Bank unless: (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received at least 10 days' prior written notice of such additional bank or such new deposit account, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, in the case of a bank or Pledged Account Bank that is not the Administrative Agent, an Account Control Agreement authenticated by such new bank and such Grantor, or a supplement to an existing Account Control Agreement with such then existing Pledged Account Bank, covering such new deposit account (and, upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Account Control Agreement or supplement, Schedule V hereto shall be automatically amended to include such Deposit Account). 8 No Grantor shall terminate any bank as a Pledged Account Bank or terminate any Account Collateral, except that a Grantor may terminate a Deposit Account, and terminate a bank as a Pledged Account Bank with respect to such Deposit Account if it gives the Administrative Agent at least 10 days' prior written notice of such termination (and, upon such termination, Schedule V hereto shall be automatically amended to delete such Pledged Account Bank and Deposit Account). (d) Upon any termination by a Grantor of any Deposit Account or any Pledged Account Bank with respect thereto, such Grantor will immediately: (i) transfer all funds held in such terminated Deposit Account to another Deposit Account, and (ii) notify all Obligors that were making payments to such Deposit Account to make all future payments to another Deposit Account, in each case so that the Administrative Agent shall have a continuously perfected security interest in such Account Collateral, funds and property. (e) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall have sole right to direct the disposition of funds with respect to each of its Deposit Accounts. (f) The Administrative Agent may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, a Grantor transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Account Collateral to satisfy the Grantor's obligations under the Loan Documents and Lender Hedging Contracts if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. (g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to send to each Pledged Account Bank a Notice of Exclusive Control as defined in and under any Account Control Agreement. Section 6. Investing of Amounts in the Securities Acccounts(a) . So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantors may, subject to Sections 5, and 18, from time to time, make investments credited to Securities Accounts to the extent allowed under Section 7.7 of the Credit Agreement. Section 7. Maintaining Letter-of-Credit Rights and Giving Notice of Commercial Tort Claims. So long as any Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Lender Hedging Contract shall be in effect or any Secured Party shall have any Commitment: (a) Each Grantor will maintain all letter-of-credit rights assigned to the Administrative Agent, including all letter-of-credit rights associated with the letters of credit described in Schedule VI so that the Administrative Agent has control of the letter-of-credit rights in the manner specified in Section 9-107 of the UCC; and (b) Each Grantor will promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of any commercial tort claim that may arise in the future and will immediately execute or 9 otherwise authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all necessary action, to subject such commercial tort claim to the first priority security interest created under this Agreement.

Section 9. Further Assurances. (a) From time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, each Grantor will promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor hereunder or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor.

(b) Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, including one or more financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover all assets or all personal property (or words of similar effect) of such Grantor, in each case without the signature of such Grantor, and regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the UCC or the granting clause of this Agreement. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor ratifies its authorization for the Administrative Agent to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof. (c) Each Grantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of such Grantor and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. Section 10. Post-Closing Changes; Bailees; Collections on Receivables and Related Contracts.

Schedule I to this Agreement may be supplemented from time to time by the Grantors, or by Additional Grantors at the time of the change or addition of any Additional Grantor, by prior written notice (as provided herein or as provided in the Credit Agreement) to the Administrative Agent and from the date of such notice such Schedule shall be deemed automatically amended to reflect the information set forth in such notice.

Section 11. As to Intellectual Property Collateral(a) . (a) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor will execute or otherwise authenticate an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit E hereto 14 or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral. (b) Should any Grantor obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(f) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral: (i) this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such item and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to this Agreement.

Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents. (ii) The Administrative Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) All rights of each Grantor: 15 (A) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 12(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Administrative Agent, cease and (B) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions. (ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 12(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

Each Grantor will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof in substantially the form of the Consent to Assignment of Letter of Credit Rights attached hereto as Exhibit G or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Administrative Agent.

If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 19. Section 17. The Administrative Agent's Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties' interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. (b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent may from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be 17 necessary, appoint one or more subagents for the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. If the Administrative Agent so appoints any such subagent with respect to any Collateral: (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such subagent, in addition to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Administrative Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term "Administrative Agent," when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such subagent; provided that no such subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Section 18. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Secured Party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and 18 (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including: (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. To the extent that notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 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 Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative 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. (b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 19) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the following manner: (i) first, paid to the Administrative Agent for any amounts then owing to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents; and (ii) second, ratably: (A) paid to the Secured Parties for any amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, under the Loan Documents and Lender Hedging Contracts ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then owing to such Secured Parties; provided that, for purposes of this Section 18, the amount owing to any Lender pursuant to any Lender Hedging Contract to which it is a party (other than any amount therefore accrued and unpaid) shall be deemed to be equal to the Agreement Value therefor and 19 (B) deposited as LC Collateral as provided in the Credit Agreement up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit; provided that: (I) if any such Letter of Credit is drawn, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the amount held in the L/C Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of Credit, and (II) to the extent that any such Letter of Credit shall expire or terminate undrawn and as a result thereof the amount of the Collateral in the L/C Collateral Account shall exceed 100% of the aggregate Available Amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit, such excess amount of such Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the remaining order of priority set out in this Section 18(b). Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. "AGREEMENT VALUE" means, for each Lender Hedging Contract with any Grantor, on any date of determination, an amount determined by the Secured Party party thereto equal to: (1) if such Lender Hedging Contract is documented pursuant to the Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) published by the International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc., the amount, if any, that would be payable by such Grantor to such Secured Party pursuant to such Lender Hedging Contract, as if (x) such Lender Hedging Contract was being terminated early on such date of determination, (y) such Grantor was the sole "affected party", and (z) the Secured Party was the sole party determining such payment (as provided in such Master Agreement); (2) in the case of any Lender Hedging Contract traded on an exchange, the mark-to-market value of such Lender Hedging Contract, which will be the unrealized loss thereon to such Grantor, determined by such Secured Party based on the settlement price of such Lender Hedging Contract on such date of determination; and (3) in all other cases, the mark-to-market value of such Lender Hedging Contract, which will be the unrealized loss thereon to such Grantor, determined by such Secured Party as the amount, if any, by which (x) the present value of the future cash flows to be paid by such Grantor thereunder exceeds (y) the present value of the future cash flows to be paid by such Grantor thereunder. (c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative 20 Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). (d) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Grantor, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account. (e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Administrative Agent or its designee such Grantor's know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor's customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor. (f) The Grantors recognize that the Administrative Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Security Collateral and that the Administrative Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantors acknowledge that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agree that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any offer to sell such securities that has been: (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under such Securities Act), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than 15 bona-fide offerees, shall be deemed to involve a "public disposition" for the purposes of Section 9.610(c) of the UCC (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision), notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a "public offering" under the Securities Act, and that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. 21 Section 19. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) EACH GRANTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND ANY SUB-AGENT THEREOF), EACH SECURED PARTY AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN "INDEMNITEE") AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES (INCLUDING THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE), AND SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH INDEMNITEE FROM ALL FEES AND TIME CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS FOR ATTORNEYS WHO MAY BE EMPLOYEES OF ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNITEE OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE BY ANY THIRD PARTY OR BY ANY GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF: (I) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY LENDER HEDGING CONTRACT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, (II) ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, OR (III) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, WHETHER BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY ANY GRANTOR, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION WILL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE OR IF A GRANTOR HAS OBTAINED A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ITS FAVOR ON SUCH CLAIM AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. (b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with: (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or 22 (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Grantor shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Lender Hedging Contract or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Each Grantor confirms that: (a) any and all Liens securing debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Grantor by any other Credit Party ("SUBORDINATED LIENS") shall be subordinate to any and all Liens under the Security Documents securing the Secured Obligations ("SENIOR LIENS") as if the Senior Liens were created, filed, recorded and otherwise perfected prior in time to the creation, filing, recording and other perfection of the Subordinated Liens, and (b) by reason of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a perfected, first-priority Lien on each Subordinated Lien and the right, to the exclusion of any Grantor, to enforce, exercise remedies, grant waivers, release and take any and all other actions with respect to such Subordinated Lien. Section 21. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be entered into in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. (b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a "SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT"): (i) such Person shall be referred to as an "ADDITIONAL GRANTOR" and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to "Grantor" shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the 23 Lender Hedging Contracts to "Collateral" shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement the respective Schedule hereto, and the Administrative Agent may attach such supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.
