All capitalized terms will have the meaning set forth in this paragraph, the recitals, and Section 1.

WHEREAS, Federal, AIG, Liberty Mutual, and Lender Agent are party to that certain Intercreditor Agreement dated as of March 14, 2005, as modified by that certain Joinder Certificate dated as of November 28, 2006, wherein AIG was added as a Surety, and as further modified by that certain Joinder Certificate dated March 31, 2009, wherein Liberty Mutual was added as a Surety (collectively “the Intercreditor Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Trench Companies are contemporaneously herewith being sold to a third party;

WHEREAS, in connection with such sale of the Trench Companies, Indemnitors have requested, and Surety has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to remove and release the Trench Companies as Principals and Indemnitors under the Surety Credit Documents; and

WHEREAS, the sale of the Trench Companies requires the amendment and modification of the Intercreditor Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
