     CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") dated as of December 31, 2002 among
ORMESA LLC, a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware (the "BORROWER"), each of the lenders that is
a signatory hereto or which, pursuant to Section 11.06(b), shall become a
"Lender" hereunder (individually, a "LENDER" and, collectively, the "LENDERS"),
UNITED CAPITAL, a division of Hudson United Bank, a New Jersey banking
corporation ("UNITED"), not in its individual capacity, but solely as
administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT"), and UNITED, not in its individual capacity, but solely as collateral
agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the "COLLATERAL
AGENT").

     WHEREAS, the Borrower directly owns 100% of the assets comprising each
Project and has requested that the Lenders make Loans to it in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding $27,500,000 in order to enable the Borrower to:
(a) fund the Debt Service Reserve Account as provided herein; (b) fund certain
of its working capital needs in connection with the operation of each Project;
(c) pay costs associated with the transactions contemplated by the Financing
Documents; and (d) make a distribution to the Sponsor;

     WHEREAS, the Lenders are prepared to make the Loans upon the terms and
conditions hereof;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                      DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETIVE MATTERS

1.01   CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS. Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized
       terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such
       terms in Schedule I. Capitalized terms and other terms used in this
       Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Sections 1.02, 1.03 and
       1.04, as applicable.

1.02   CLASSES AND TYPES OF LOANS. Loans hereunder are distinguished by "Class"
       and by "Type". The "CLASS" of a Loan refers to whether such Loan is an
       Initial Term Loan or an Additional Term Loan, each of which constitutes a
       Class of Loans. Commitments to make Loans and Notes evidencing Loans may
       be correspondingly referred to hereunder by the Class of Loan to which
       such Commitment or Note, as applicable, relates. The "TYPE" of a Loan
       refers to whether such Loan is a Prime Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan,
       each of which constitutes a Type of Loan. Loans may be identified by both
       Class and Type.

              succession or assignment is permitted or not prohibited hereunder
              and, in the case of any Government Authority, any Person
              succeeding to its functions and capacities;

       (d)    the terms "hereof", "herein", "hereby", "hereto" and similar words
              refer to this entire Agreement and not any particular Section,
              Schedule, Exhibit or other subdivision of this Agreement;

       (e)    references to "Section", "Schedule" or "Exhibit" are to such
              subdivisions contained in or annexed to this Agreement;

       (f)    the words "include" and "including" shall be deemed to be followed
              by "without limitation" or "but not limited to", whether or not
              they are followed by such phrases or words of like import;

       (g)    references to any statute or statutory provision shall be
              construed as a reference to the same as it may have been, or may

       (h)    references to any agreement or document (including this Agreement)
              shall (unless otherwise expressly provided) be construed as a
              reference to such agreement or document as amended, modified,
              novated or supplemented (to the extent such amendment,
              modification, novation or supplement is permitted or not
              prohibited by the terms of such agreement or document, this
              Agreement and any other Financing Document) and in effect from
              time to time and shall (unless otherwise expressly provided)
              include a reference to any document that amends, modifies, novates
              or supplements it, or is entered into, made or given pursuant to
              or in accordance with its terms;

       (i)    "this Agreement" and words of similar import shall mean this
              Agreement, together with all Schedules and Exhibits;

       (j)    the headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are
              inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect

       (k)    references to days shall refer to calendar days, unless Business
              Days are expressly specified; references to weeks, months or years

                                      -3-


       (l)    to the extent capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined
              by reference to any other Transaction Document (or by reference in
              such Transaction Document to any other Transaction Document), for
              purposes of this Agreement, such terms shall continue to have
              their original definitions notwithstanding any termination or
              expiration of such agreements, except to the extent the parties
              hereto agree to the contrary.

1.04   ACCOUNTING TERMS.

       (a)    Accounting Principles, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided
              in this Agreement, all accounting terms used herein or in any
              other Financing Document shall be interpreted, and all financial
              statements, certificates and reports as to financial accounting
              matters required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, shall
              (unless otherwise notified as provided in Section 1.04(b)) be
              prepared or made in accordance with the Accounting Principles of
              the relevant Person to which such terms, financial statements,
              certificates and/or reports relate, applied on a basis consistent
              with those used in the preparation of the latest financial
              statements of such Person furnished hereunder or thereunder, as
              the case may be, except for such changes as are required by such
              Accounting Principles.

       (b)    Accounting Variations. In respect of any relevant period, the
              Borrower shall, except to the extent already required by the
              relevant Accounting Principles, deliver (or cause the relevant
              other Person to deliver) to the Administrative Agent, at the same
              time as the delivery of any financial statement for that period
              under Section 8.01, a description in reasonable detail of any
              material variation (and the consequence thereof) between the
              application of the Accounting Principles employed in the
              preparation of such statement and the application of the
              Accounting Principles employed in the preparation of the financial
              statements for the immediately preceding period.

       (c)    Fiscal Periods. To enable the ready and consistent determination
              of compliance with this Agreement, the Borrower shall not change
              the last day of its fiscal year from December 31 of each year, or
              the last days of the first three fiscal quarters in each of its
              fiscal years from March 31, June 30 and September 30 of each year,
              respectively, except to the extent required by any Government
              Rule. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly
              upon becoming aware of such proposed Government Rule requirement
              of the nature and the effective date of such proposed change.
              Promptly after the delivery of such notice, the Borrower and the
              Administrative Agent (acting at the direction or with the consent
              of the Majority Lenders) shall negotiate in good faith any
              amendments to the provisions of the Financing Documents that may
              be necessary to give fair effect to the intention of such
              provisions.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                   COMMITMENTS

2.01   LOANS.

       (a)    Initial Term Loan Facility. Each Lender severally agrees, on the
              terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a loan
              (collectively, the "INITIAL TERM LOANS") to the Borrower in
              Dollars on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal
              to the amount of the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender;
              provided that: (i) there shall be no more than one borrowing of
              Initial Term Loans; and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate
              principal amount of all Initial Term Loans at any one time
              outstanding exceed the aggregate amount of the Initial Term Loan
              Commitments as in effect from time to time. Amounts prepaid or
              repaid in respect of the Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

       (b)    Additional Term Loan Facility. Each Lender severally agrees, on
              the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a loan
              (collectively, the "ADDITIONAL TERM LOANS") to the Borrower in
              Dollars during the Additional Term Loan Availability Period in an
              aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but
              not exceeding, the amount of the Additional Term Loan Commitment
              of such Lender as in effect from time to time; provided that: (i)
              there shall be no more than one borrowing of Additional Term
              Loans; and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate principal amount
              of all Additional Term Loans at any one time outstanding exceed
              the aggregate amount of the Additional Term Loan Commitments as in
              effect from time to time. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of
              the Additional Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

       (c)    Terms Applicable to All Loans; Conversions and Continuations.

              (i)    Borrowings of Loans shall be made and Continued solely in
                     the form of Eurodollar Loans; provided that the Borrower
                     may, subject to all other applicable terms and conditions
                     of this Agreement (including Section 5.04):

                     (A)    Subject to its prior delivery to the Administrative
                            Agent of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, convert
                            any Loans that are Eurodollar Loans into Prime Rate
                            Loans as provided in Sections 5.02 and 5.04;

                     (B)    in any other circumstance where the Borrower and the
                            Administrative Agent concur that, taking account of
                            the expected timing of repayment of any such Loan
                            and the duration of the Interest Periods available
                            for selection by the Borrower, Converting such Loan
                            into a Prime Rate


                                      -5-


                            Loan will enable the Borrower to avoid breakage
                            costs pursuant to Section 5.05, make such
                            Conversion; and

                     (C)    borrow Loans initially as Prime Rate Loans with the
                            consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be
                            unreasonably withheld or delayed) as and to the
                            extent necessary to synchronize the Interest Period
                            of such Loans with other outstanding Loans that are
                            Eurodollar Loans; provided that the Borrower shall,
                            subject to its prior delivery to the Administrative
                            Agent of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Convert
                            such Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans as soon as
                            possible to achieve synchronization of such Loans.

              (ii)   Borrowings of Loans may be made initially in the form of
                     Prime Rate Loans if the Borrower is unable to provide
                     sufficient advance notice pursuant to Section 4.05 of the
                     borrowing of such Loans as Eurodollar Loans; provided that
                     such Loans shall be Converted as soon as practicable after
                     the initial borrowing thereof into Eurodollar Loans (unless
                     the Borrower and the Administrative Agent concur that,
                     taking account of the expected timing of repayment of any
                     such Loan and the duration of the Interest Periods
                     available for selection by the Borrower if such Loan were
                     so Converted, the Conversion of such Loan into a Eurodollar
                     Loan will likely subject the Borrower to additional costs
                     pursuant to Section 5.05).

              (iii)  Following the occurrence of any Default or Event of
                     Default, the Administrative Agent may suspend the right of
                     the Borrower to Continue any Loans as, or to Convert any
                     Loans into, Eurodollar Loans.

              (iv)   In connection with any Conversion hereunder, and
                     notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
                     Agreement, a Lender may (in its sole discretion, subject to
                     Section 5.07(a)) change its Applicable Lending Office with
                     respect to the Loan so Converted.

       (d)    Limit on Eurodollar Loans. Only one Interest Period in respect of
              Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any one time.

2.02   BORROWINGS. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall
       promptly notify the Lenders) notice of each borrowing hereunder as
       provided in Section 4.05 pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing. Not later
       than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date specified for each borrowing
       hereunder, each Lender shall make available the amount of the Loan to be
       made by it on such date to the Administrative Agent at its

       Principal Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of the
       Borrower. The aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loan
       Commitment shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
       be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent's
       depositing the same in immediately available funds to such accounts as
       agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that
       an amount equal to $724,000 of the proceeds of the Initial Term Loans
       shall, pursuant to said agreement between the Borrower and the
       Administrative Agent, be deposited to the Revenue Account.

              unused amount of the Additional Term Loan Commitments that are
              surplus to the needs of the Borrower; provided that: (i) the
              Borrower shall give notice of each such reduction as provided in
              Section 4.05; and (ii) each partial reduction shall be in an
              aggregate amount at least equal to $500,000 and in integral
              multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.

       (b)    No Reinstatement. Any Commitments reduced pursuant to paragraph
              (a) above shall for all purposes hereof be terminated and may not
              be reinstated.

              Commitments of each Class shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York

              Commitments; provided, however, that such fee payable to United,
              as Lender, shall be reduced by an amount equal to $50,000.

       (b)    Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
              Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee on the
              daily average unused amount of such Lender's Commitments for the

              Quarterly Date and, with respect to the Commitments of any Class,
              on the earliest to occur of the date on which of the Commitments
              of such Class expire, the date the Commitments of such Class are
              terminated or reduced to zero, and the Final Maturity Date.

       (d)    Administrative Agency Fees. Commencing on the first anniversary of
              the Closing Date, and annually on each subsequent anniversary
              thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
              for the account of the Administrative Agent, an annual agency fee

       such Type.

2.06   SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS; REMEDIES INDEPENDENT. The obligations of the Lenders
       hereunder are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
       any Loan to be made by it, or any payment required to be made by it
       hereunder, on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other
       Lender of its obligation to make its Loan, or its payment, on such date.
       Neither any Lender nor any Agent shall be responsible for the failure of
       any other Lender to make a Loan, or a payment, to be made by such other
       Lender.

2.07   NOTES.

       (a)    Initial Term Loan Notes. The Initial Term Loan of each Lender
              shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower
              (each, an "INITIAL TERM LOAN NOTE") substantially in the form of
              Exhibit A-1, dated the Closing Date, payable to such Lender in a
              principal amount equal to the amount of its Initial Term Loan
              Commitment as in effect on the Closing Date and otherwise duly
              completed.

       (b)    Additional Term Loan Notes. The Additional Term Loan of each
              Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the
              Borrower (each, an "ADDITIONAL TERM LOAN NOTE") substantially in

              Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Additional
              Term Loan Commitment as in effect on the Closing Date and
              otherwise duly completed.

       (c)    Loan Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
              usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
              to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender,
              including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid
              to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative
              Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record: (i) the
              amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and
              each Interest Period therefor; (ii) the amount of any principal or

              Lender hereunder; and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
              Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and
              each Lender's share thereof. The entries made in the records
              maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be prima facie
              evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
              therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
              Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein
              shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to
              repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       (d)    Subdivision. No Lender shall be entitled to have any of its Notes
              subdivided, by exchange for promissory notes of lesser
              denominations or otherwise, except in connection with a permitted
              assignment of all or any portion of such Lender's related
              Commitment, related Loan and related Notes pursuant to Section
              11.06(b).

       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent not
       otherwise repaid in full prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower
       unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
       account of each Lender the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made
       by such Lender, and such Loans shall mature, on the Final Maturity Date.

3.02   INTEREST.

       (a)    General. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative
              Agent for the account of each Lender, interest on the unpaid
              principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period
              from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date
              such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

              (i)    during such periods as such Loan is a Prime Rate Loan, the
                     Prime Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the
                     Applicable Margin; and

              (ii)   during such periods as such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, for
                     each Interest Period relating thereto, the Eurodollar Rate
                     for such Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
                     Margin.

       (b)    Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower
              hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
              of each Lender interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any
              principal of any Loan made by such Lender, and on any other amount
              payable by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note held by such
              Lender, to or for the account of such Lender, which shall not be
              paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
              acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for the
              period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding
              the date the same is paid in full.

       (c)    Payment. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable: (i) in
              the case of a Prime Rate Loan, quarterly on the Quarterly Dates;
              (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each
              Interest Period therefor; and (iii) in the case of any Loan, upon

              Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate as provided in Section
              3.02(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand (or, if no
              demand is made during any month, on the last day of such month).



                                      -11-


       (d)    Determination of Interest Rate. Promptly after the determination
              of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein,
              the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders
              to which such interest is payable and to the Borrower.




                                      -12-


3.03   OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS.

       (a)    Subject to Section 4.04, the Borrower shall have the right to
              prepay any Loans, at any time and from time to time following the
              second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that: (a) the
              Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
              Agent notice of each such prepayment, as provided in Section 4.05
              (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment,
              the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder);
              and (b) Eurodollar Loans may be prepaid only on the last day of
              the Interest Period for such Loans unless the Borrower pays all
              applicable breakage costs pursuant to Section 5.05 at the time of
              such prepayment.

       (b)    Simultaneously with any optional prepayment, in whole or in part,
              of the principal of any Loans pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)
              (other than any prepayment made pursuant to the final sentence of
              Section 5.07(a)) or any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Sections
              3.04(b) or 3.04(c), the Borrower agrees to pay to the
              Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a prepayment
              commission in respect of each such prepayment in an amount equal
              to that percentage of the principal amount of the Loans so prepaid
              set forth below opposite the period in which such prepayment
              occurs:

         Period in Which Prepayment is Made               Prepayment Commission
         ----------------------------------               ---------------------

         From and including the second anniversary              2.00%
           of the Closing Date through and including the
           day prior to the third anniversary of the
           Closing Date

         From and including the third anniversary               1.00%
           of the Closing Date through and including the
           day prior to the fourth anniversary of the
           Closing Date

         From and including the fourth anniversary              0.00%
           of the Closing Date through and including the
           Final Maturity Date

3.04   MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS; ETC. The Borrower shall make the following
       mandatory payments in the amounts and at the times set out below, in each
       case, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.03(b), without any
       commission, premium or penalty:



                                      -13-


       (a)    Event of Loss.

              (i)    If a Project is declared a Total Loss by its insurers, then
                     on the later of the date of actual receipt of Loss Proceeds
                     with respect thereto and the date of such declaration; and

              (ii)   not later than the date specified for prepayment in
                     accordance with Section 8.05(d) with respect to: (A) any
                     Event of Loss (or upon such earlier date as the Borrower
                     shall have determined not to Restore the related Affected
                     Property); or (B) any period during which any of the
                     conditions of the Restoration under Section 8.05(d) shall
                     have ceased to be satisfied,

              in each case, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount
              equal to 100% of the Loss Proceeds with respect to such Event of
              Loss (less the amount expended on the Restoration of the related
              Affected Property as permitted by, and as expended in accordance
              with, Section 8.05(d)).

              Nothing in this paragraph (a) shall be deemed to limit any
              obligation of the Borrower to deposit (or cause to be deposited)
              in the Restoration Sub-Account the Loss Proceeds in respect of any
              Event of Loss.

       (b)    Project Documents. If any Project Document at any time is amended
              or terminated by any party thereto and in a manner that could
              reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and
              generate a current cash payment to the Borrower, then the Borrower
              shall, promptly upon receipt of such payment, prepay the Loans in
              an amount equal to the proceeds of such payment.

       (c)    Certain Asset Sales. If the Borrower at any time shall transfer,
              assign, sell or otherwise dispose of any material asset or
              Property pertaining to any Project, other than in accordance with
              Section 8.12 hereof, then the Borrower shall, promptly upon
              receipt of the proceeds of any payment relating to such
              transaction, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the proceeds
              of such payment.

       (d)    Cash Sweeps. If, as of any Quarterly Date, the Borrower shall fail
              to comply with Section 8.13(iii) hereof, the Borrower shall, at
              its sole option as provided in Section 4.1(e) of the Depositary
              Agreement, prepay the Loans in the amounts set out in, and
              otherwise in accordance with, such Section 4.1(e).

3.05   Prepayment Mechanics. All prepayments described in Sections 3.03 and 3.04
       (other than any prepayment made pursuant to the final sentence of Section
       5.07(a) which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with such Section
       5.07(a)) shall be applied to the Initial Term Loans and the Additional
       Term Loans pro rata, and in the inverse order of the maturities of the
       installments of the Loans then outstanding. Amounts prepaid may


                                      -14-


       not be reborrowed. Any prepayment made or required to be made pursuant to
       Sections 3.03 or 3.04 shall be made together with all accrued but unpaid
       interest thereon and all other amounts (including, without limitation,
       any amounts due pursuant to Article V) then due from the Borrower
       hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; COMPUTATIONS; ETC.

4.01   PAYMENTS.

       (a)    General. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all
              payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by
              the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes and, except to the
              extent otherwise provided therein, all payments to be made by the
              Borrower under any other Financing Document, shall be made in
              Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction,
              set-off or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at its
              Principal Office, or to such account as the Administrative Agent
              may specify in writing to the Borrower, not later than 1:00 p.m.,
              New York time, on the date on which such payment shall become due
              (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be
              deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

       (b)    Application of Payments. The Borrower shall, at the time of making
              each payment under this Agreement or any Note for the account of
              any Lender, specify to the Administrative Agent (which shall so
              notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Loans or other
              amounts owing by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is
              to be applied. In the event that the Borrower fails to so specify,
              or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
              Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the Lenders
              for application in such manner as the Administrative Agent or the
              Majority Lenders, subject to Section 4.02, may reasonably
              determine to be appropriate.

       (c)    Forwarding of Payments by Administrative Agent. Each payment
              received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any
              Note for the account of any Lender or the Collateral Agent or the
              Depositary Bank shall be paid by the Administrative Agent promptly
              to such Person, in immediately available funds, for the account of
              such Lender's Applicable Lending Office for the Loan or other
              obligation in respect of which such payment is made or for the
              account of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank, as
              applicable.

       (d)    Extensions to Next Business Day. If the due date of any payment
              under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day
              that is not a Business Day, such date shall instead be extended to
              the first Business Day thereafter, and interest shall be payable
              for any principal so extended for the period of such


                                      -15-

              extension, unless such Business Day shall fall in a subsequent
              calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the
              immediately preceding Business Day.




                                      -16-


4.02   PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:

       (a)    each borrowing of Loans from the Lenders under Section 2.01 shall
              be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees
              under Section 2.04 in respect of Commitments shall be made for the
              account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction
              of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.03 shall be
              applied to the respective Commitments, pro rata according to the
              amounts of their respective Commitments;

       (b)    the making of Loans shall be made pro rata among the relevant
              Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments;

       (c)    except to the extent indicated in Section 4.07(b) and except for
              prepayments made pursuant to the final sentence of Section
              5.07(a), each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the
              Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro
              rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of
              the Loans held by them; provided that if immediately prior to
              giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Loan the
              outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not be held by the
              Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments
              in effect at the time such Loans were made (by reason of a failure
              of a Lender to make a Loan hereunder in the circumstances
              described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 11.04), then
              such payment shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as shall
              result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal
              amount of the Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in
              accordance with their respective Commitments; and

       (d)    each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made
              for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance
              with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to
              the respective Lenders.

4.03   COMPUTATIONS. Interest on Eurodollar Loans and on other obligations of
       the Borrower or the Lenders that are computed on the basis of the Federal
       Funds Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
       actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)
       occurring in the period for which payable. Interest on Prime Rate Loans,
       on other obligations of the Borrower or the Lenders that are computed on
       the basis of the Prime Rate and commitment fees payable in accordance
       with Section 2.04 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366
       days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first
       day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which
       payable.

4.04   MINIMUM AMOUNTS. Except for mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section
       3.04 and the borrowing of Additional Term Loans, each borrowing and
       partial prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in an amount at least
       equal to $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.
       Borrowings or prepayments of Loans of different Types or, in the case of
       Eurodollar Loans, having different Interest Periods, at the same time


                                      -17-


       hereunder shall be deemed separate borrowings and prepayments for
       purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period.

       (a)    Certain Notices.

              (i)    Notices by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (and,

                     Section 2.01(c) have been satisfied with respect to such

              (v)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders
                     of the contents of each such notice. In the event that the

       Administrative Agent shall have been notified by the Borrower prior to
       the date on which the Borrower is to make payment to the Administrative
       Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders hereunder (each such
       payment being herein called the "REQUIRED PAYMENT"), which notice shall
       be effective upon receipt, that the Borrower does not intend to make the
       Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
       may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance
       upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount
       thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date. If the
       Borrower has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative
       Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the
       Administrative Agent the amount made available by the Administrative
       Agent pursuant to the previous sentence, together with interest thereon
       in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the

       rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

4.07   SHARING OF PAYMENTS; ETC.

       (a)    Right of Set-Off. The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and
              without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker's lien or
              counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be
              entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by it for the
              account of the Borrower at any of its offices, in Dollars or in
              any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of
              such Lender's Loans, or any other amount payable to such Lender
              hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such
              balances are then due to the Borrower), in which case it shall
              promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof;
              provided that such Lender's failure to give such notice shall not
              affect the validity thereof.

       (b)    Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from the Borrower payment of
              any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of
              any other amount under this Agreement or any Note held by it or
              any other Financing Document through the exercise of any right of
              set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or
              otherwise (other than: (i) from the Administrative Agent as
              provided herein; or (ii) in connection with any reimbursement or
              indemnification under Section 11.03


                                      -19-


              or any similar provision of any other Financing Document to which
              less than all of the Lenders are entitled under the terms hereof
              or thereof, as the case may be; or (iii) in connection with any
              assignment or participation pursuant to Section 11.06 or any
              replacement of any Lender pursuant to Article V) and, as a result
              of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater
              percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such
              other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder to such Lender than
              the percentage received by any other Lender(s) who were also
              entitled to receive such payments, it shall promptly purchase from
              such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent
              specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such
              other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in
              interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and
              make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
              equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit
              of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred
              by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro
              rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on
              the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of
              the Lenders; provided that if at the time of such payment, the
              outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not be held by the
              Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments
              in effect at the time such Loans were made (by reason of a failure
              of a Lender to make a Loan hereunder in the circumstances
              described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 11.04), then
              such purchases of participations and/or direct interests shall be
              made in such manner as will result, as nearly as is practicable,
              in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being held by the
              Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of such Commitments. To
              such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among
              themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if
              such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

       (c)    Consent by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so
              purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise
              all rights of set-off, banker's liens, counterclaims or similar
              rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such
              Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case
              may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

       (d)    Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained in this Section
              4.07 shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall
              affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the
              benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other
              indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. If, under any
              applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender
              receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this
              Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent
              practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim
              in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled
              under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery
              on such secured claim.

5.01   ADDITIONAL COSTS.

       (a)    Costs of Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower
              shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts
              as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate it for
              any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its
              making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to
              make any Eurodollar Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any
              amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of
              such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and
              reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "ADDITIONAL
              COSTS"), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

              (i)    shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office
                     for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in
                     respect of such Loans or changes the basis of taxation of
                     any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or
                     the Notes in respect of such Loans (other than taxes
                     imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such
                     Lender or of its Applicable Lending Office for such Loans
                     by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal
                     office or such Applicable Lending Office);

              (ii)   imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar
                     requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized
                     in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate for any
                     Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions
                     of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other
                     liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such Loans or
                     any deposits referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar
                     Base Rate"), or any Commitment of such Lender to make any
                     such Loans hereunder; or

              (iii)  imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the
                     Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities)
                     or its Commitments.

              If any Lender requests compensation from the Borrower under this
              paragraph (a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a
              copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such
              Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert Prime
              Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the Regulatory Change
              giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case
              the


                                      -21-


              provisions of Section 5.04 shall apply); provided that such
              suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive
              the compensation so requested.

       (b)    Election by Lender to Suspend Obligations. Without limiting the
              effect of the provisions of paragraph (a) above, in the event
              that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either:

              (i)    incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess
                     above a specified level of the amount of a category of
                     deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes
                     deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
                     Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this
                     Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other
                     assets of such Lender that includes Eurodollar Loans; or

              (ii)   becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a
                     category of liabilities or assets that it may hold,

              then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a
              copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender
              to make or Continue, or Convert Prime Rate Loans into, Eurodollar
              Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change
              ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section
              5.04 shall apply).

       (c)    Capital Costs. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing
              provisions of this Section 5.01 (but without duplication), the
              Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on
              request such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary
              to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the parent
              company of such Lender) for any costs that it determines are
              attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable
              Lending Office or such parent company) of capital in respect of
              its Commitments or Loans, pursuant to any law or regulation or any
              interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the
              force of law) of any court, Government Authority or monetary
              authority:

              (i)    following any Regulatory Change; or

              (ii)   implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other
                     requirement (whether or not having the force of law and
                     whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be
                     unlawful) heretofore issued but not implemented, or
                     hereafter issued, by any Government Authority or
                     supervisory authority implementing at the national level
                     the Basle Accord (including the Final Risk-Based Capital
                     Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
                     System (12 C.F.R. Part 208, Appendix A; 12 C.F.R. Part 225,
                     Appendix A) and the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of
                     the


                                      -22-


                     Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 C.F.R. Part
                     3, Appendix A)).

              Such compensation shall include an amount equal to any reduction
              of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any
              Applicable Lending Office or such parent company) to a level below
              that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such
              parent company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation,
              interpretation, directive or request.

       (d)    Notification and Certification. Each Lender shall notify the
              Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement
              that will entitle such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a)
              or (c) above as promptly as practicable after such Lender obtains
              actual knowledge thereof. Each Lender will furnish to the Borrower
              a certificate setting out in reasonable detail the basis and
              amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under
              paragraph (a) or (c) above. Determinations and allocations by any
              Lender, for purposes of this Section 5.01, of the effect of any
              Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, or of
              the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) above,
              on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its
              obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in
              respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such
              Lender under this Section 5.01, shall be conclusive absent
              manifest error.

       (e)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
              demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not
              constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such
              compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
              compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any
              increased costs or reductions incurred more than 60 days prior to
              the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory
              Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
              such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided,
              further, that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such
              increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 60-day
              period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
              of retroactive effect thereof.

5.02   LIMITATION ON EURODOLLAR LOANS. Anything herein to the contrary
       notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Eurodollar
       Base Rate for any Interest Period:

       (a)    the Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be
              conclusive absent manifest error, that quotations of interest
              rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of
              "Eurodollar Base Rate" are not being provided in the relevant
              amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining
              rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein; or

       (b)    the Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall be
              conclusive absent manifest error, and notify the Administrative
              Agent that the relevant rates of



                                      -23-


              interest referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate",
              upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Eurodollar Loans
              for such Interest Period is to be determined, are not likely to
              adequately cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining
              such Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period,

       then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender
       prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect,
       the obligation of the Lenders to make additional Eurodollar Loans,
       Continue existing Eurodollar Loans or Convert Prime Rate Loans into
       Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, in which case the provisions of
       Section 5.04 shall be applicable.

5.03   ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the
       event that it becomes unlawful or any central bank or other Government
       Authority asserts that it is unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable
       Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar
       Loans hereunder, and, in the opinion of such Lender (as stated in
       writing), the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would
       either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such
       Lender, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof in
       writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender's
       obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Prime Rate Loans into,
       Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may
       again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of
       Section 5.04 shall be applicable).

5.04   TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS. If the obligation of any Lender to make or
       Continue, or to Convert Prime Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be
       suspended pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 (the "AFFECTED LOANS"),
       such Lender's Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into Prime
       Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then-current Interest Period(s) for
       the Affected Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section
       5.01(b) or 5.03, on such earlier date as such Lender may certify to the
       Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent as being the last
       permissible date for such Conversion under, or by reason of, the relevant
       Regulatory Change or circumstances described under Section 5.03, such
       certification to be conclusive absent manifest error) and, unless and
       until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances
       specified in Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 which gave rise to such
       Conversion no longer exist:

       (a)    to the extent that such Lender's Affected Loans have been so
              Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would
              otherwise be applied to such Lender's Eurodollar Loans shall be
              applied instead to its Prime Rate Loans; and

       (b)    all Loans that would otherwise be made by such Lender as
              Eurodollar Loans shall be made instead as Prime Rate Loans.

       If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower with a copy to the
       Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01,
       5.02 or 5.03 that gave rise to the Conversion


                                      -24-


       of such Lender's Eurodollar Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section
       5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such
       circumstances ceasing to exist): (i) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made
       by other Lenders are outstanding, each of such Lender's Prime Rate Loans
       shall be automatically Converted to Eurodollar Loans, on the first day of
       the next succeeding Interest Period for, and having the same Interest
       Period as, such outstanding Eurodollar Loans and to the extent necessary
       so that, after giving effect thereto, all Prime Rate Loans and Eurodollar
       Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts,
       Types and Interest Periods) as nearly as possible in accordance with
       their respective Commitments; and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower
       may thereafter provide to the Administrative Agent a notice of
       Conversion, in accordance with Section 4.05, of such Lender's Prime Rate
       Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

5.05   COMPENSATION. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
       account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the
       Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in
       the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate such Lender for any
       loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is
       attributable to:

       (a)    any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan made by
              such Lender for any reason (including the acceleration of the
              Loans pursuant to Section 9.02) on a date other than the last day
              of an Interest Period for such Loan; or

       (b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including the failure
              of any of the conditions precedent specified in Article VI to be
              satisfied) to borrow a Eurodollar Loan from such Lender on the
              date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Notice of
              Borrowing given pursuant to Section 2.02.

       Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation
       shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (i) the amount
       of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so
       paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of
       such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day
       of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a
       failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have
       commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable
       rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein; over (ii) the amount
       of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at
       a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such
       Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits
       of the Reference Banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and
       with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by
       such Lender).

5.06   TAXES.

       (a)    General. All payments to be made hereunder and under the Notes and
              any other Financing Document by the Borrower shall be made free
              and clear of and without


                                      -25-


              deduction for or on account of, any Taxes (other than Taxes
              imposed on either Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction in which
              such Person is organized or has its principal office or, in the
              case of any Lender, by the jurisdiction in which its Applicable
              Lending Office is organized or located or, in each case, any
              political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or
              otherwise imposed by any taxing authority upon, or measured by,
              income or assets as a result of the organization or location of
              such Lender in such taxing authority's jurisdiction (unless such
              organization or location is attributable to the execution of, or
              the exercise of any rights or remedies under or in connection
              with, the Transaction Documents)) (such Taxes being herein
              referred to as the "APPLICABLE TAXES").

              If any Applicable Taxes are imposed and required to be withheld
              from any amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the
              Notes or any other Financing Document, the Borrower shall (subject
              to the second sentence of Section 5.06(c)) be obligated to: (i)
              pay such additional amount so that the Agents and the Lenders, as
              applicable, shall receive a net amount (after giving effect to the
              payment of such additional amount and to the deduction of all
              Applicable Taxes) equal to the amount due hereunder; (ii) pay such
              Applicable Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority for the
              account of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents
              and the Lenders, as applicable; and (iii) as promptly as possible
              thereafter, send to the Administrative Agent a certified copy of
              any original official receipt showing payment thereof, together
              with such additional documentary evidence as the Administrative
              Agent or such other Agent or Lender (as applicable) may from time
              to time reasonably require.

              If the Borrower fails to pay any Applicable Taxes when due to the
              appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
              Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required
              documentary evidence, the Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify
              each Agent and each Lender for any incremental Taxes, as well as
              interest and penalties that may become payable by such Agent or
              such Lender as a result of such failure. The obligations of the
              Borrower under this Section 5.06(a) shall survive the termination
              of the Commitments and the repayment of the Loans.

       (b)    Evidence of Payment. Within 30 days after paying any amount to
              either Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to
              make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after it is
              required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any
              relevant taxing or other authority, the Borrower shall deliver to
              the Administrative Agent, for delivery to such Person, evidence
              reasonably satisfactory to such Person of such deduction,
              withholding or payment (as the case may be).

       (c)    Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
              exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of
              the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty
              to which such jurisdiction is a party, with


                                      -26-


              respect to payments by the Borrower under this Agreement, the
              Notes or any other Financing Document shall deliver to the
              Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or
              times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly
              completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
              as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
              a reduced rate. For any period during which a Foreign Lender has
              failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate documentation
              as required by the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall not be
              obligated to pay, and such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to
              receive, additional amounts under Section 5.06(a) with respect to
              Applicable Taxes imposed by the United States to the extent that
              such additional amounts would not have arisen but for such failure
              of such Foreign Lender. If a Foreign Lender that is otherwise
              exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax
              becomes subject to Applicable Taxes, or a higher amount thereof,
              because of its failure to deliver documentation described in the
              first sentence of this paragraph (c), the Borrower shall take such
              steps as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist
              such Foreign Lender to recover such Applicable Taxes.

       (d)    Tax Refunds. If an Agent or a Lender receives a refund of, or in
              respect of, any Applicable Taxes with respect to which the
              Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.06(a)
              and (i) either: (A) such refund (as received by such Agent or such
              Lender) is specifically referable to such Applicable Taxes; or (B)
              such Agent or such Lender determines (in its sole discretion) that
              such refund is in respect of, such Applicable Taxes; and (ii) such
              Agent's or such Lender's (as applicable) tax affairs for its tax
              year in respect of which such refund was obtained have been
              finally settled, then in each case such Agent or such Lender
              shall, to the extent it can do so without prejudice to the
              retention of such refund, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to
              such refund (but only to the extent of additional amounts paid by
              the Borrower under Section 5.06(a) with respect to the Applicable
              Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
              expenses and Taxes incurred by such Agent or such Lender with
              respect thereto and without interest (other than any interest paid
              by the relevant Government Authority with respect to such refund).
              Any such payment by any Agent or any Lender shall be applied
              toward payments of amounts then owed by the Borrower under this
              Agreement if, at the time of such payment, an Event of Default has
              occurred and is continuing.

              The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender on an
              after-tax basis for any Taxes that are imposed on such Person as a
              result of the disallowance, unavailability, recapture or reduction
              of any such refund, as to which such Person has already made
              payment in full to the Borrower as required by this paragraph (d).
              Nothing herein shall oblige any Agent or any Lender to disclose
              any of the tax returns, books or other records of such Person, nor
              shall anything herein interfere with the right of any Agent or any
              Lender to arrange its tax and


                                      -27-


              commercial affairs and its dealings with its various customers in
              whatever manner it thinks fit. In particular, no Agent or Lender
              shall be under any obligation to claim credit, relief, remission
              or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax
              liability in respect of the amount of any Tax, deduction or
              withholding as aforesaid in priority to any other claims, reliefs,
              credits or deductions available to it or that it determines in its
              sole discretion to be inadvisable.

5.07   MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; PREPAYMENTS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

       (a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office; Prepayments. If any
              Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01 or 5.06, or if the
              Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
              any Government Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
              Section 5.06, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts
              (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
              restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office
              for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event or to assign
              its rights and obligations therein to another of its offices,
              branches or Affiliates, if, in the sole opinion of such Lender,
              such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce
              amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06, as the case may
              be, in the future; and (ii) would not be disadvantageous to such
              Lender; provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to
              designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United
              States if such Lender's Applicable Lending Office is not then
              located in the United States. The Borrower shall pay all
              reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
              with any such designation or assignment. In the event any such
              Lender requesting compensation is unable or, for any reason,
              declines to so designate a different Applicable Lending Office of
              its Loans, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay such Lender
              in whole or in part pursuant to the terms of Section 3.03(a) and
              Section 3.05, and such prepayment shall be exclusive of the
              prepayment commission described in Section 3.03(b).

       (b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
              Section 5.01 or 5.06, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
              additional amount to any Lender or any Government Authority for
              the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.06, or if any
              Lender exercises its rights under Section 5.03, then the Borrower
              may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
              and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
              delegate (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
              contained in Section 11.06), without recourse and without
              compensation or payment of any type other than amounts referred to
              in clause (i) below, all its interests, rights and obligations
              under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
              obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
              accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) such Lender shall
              have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
              principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
              all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to
              the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
              fees) or the Borrower (in the case


                                      -28-


              of all other amounts); and (ii) such assignment will: (A) result
              in a reduction in such compensation or payments; or (B) effect the
              availability of Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. A Lender shall
              not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
              prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
              otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
              such assignment and delegation cease to apply.



                                      -29-

       California. The Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good
       standing in all other places where necessary in light of the business it
       conducts and the Property it owns and intends to conduct and own and in
       light of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
       Transaction Documents, except where the failure to so qualify or be in
       good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
       Effect. No filing, recording, publishing or other act that has not been
       made or done is necessary in connection with the existence or good
       standing of the Borrower or the conduct of its business.

7.02   FINANCIAL CONDITION.

       (a)    Financial Statements. The financial statements delivered to the
              Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01, and any related
              statements of income, owner's equity and cash flows: (i) fairly
              present, in all material respects, the financial condition of the
              Borrower as of the date delivered and the results of its
              operations for the period covered thereby (subject, in the case of
              any quarterly financial statements to normal year-end audit
              adjustments); and (ii) have been prepared in accordance with the
              Accounting Principles applicable to such Person.

       (b)    No Material Contingent Liabilities. As of the date of the relevant
              balance sheet included in such financial statements, the Borrower
              has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual
              forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated
              losses from any unfavorable commitments or any other liabilities
              or obligations of a nature required to be reflected in a balance
              sheet for the period to which such financial statements relate
              that were not disclosed in such balance sheet and, either
              individually or in the aggregate would be material to the
              Borrower.

       (c)    No Material Adverse Change. The Borrower knows of no reasonable
              basis existing as of the date of its most recent balance sheet in
              accordance with Section 8.01 for the assertion against it of any
              liability or obligation of a nature required to be reflected in a
              balance sheet that is not fully reflected in its most recent
              balance sheet. Since the date of delivery of such balance sheet,
              there has been no material adverse change in the financial
              condition, operations or business of the Borrower from that set
              out in such financial statements as at such date.


                                      -40-


7.03   ACTION.

       (a)    Borrower. The Borrower has full limited liability company power,
              authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Transaction
              Documents to which it is or is intended to be a party and to
              perform its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and
              performance by the Borrower of each of the Transaction Documents
              to which it is or is intended to be a party and the consummation
              of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized
              by all necessary limited liability company action on its part.
              Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party
              has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such
              Person and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation
              enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as the
              enforceability thereof may be limited by: (i) applicable
              bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
              the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; and (ii) the
              application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether
              such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in
              equity).

       (b)    Other Major Project Parties.

              (i)    Each of the other Major Project Parties has full corporate,
                     limited liability company or partnership power, authority
                     and legal right to execute and deliver each of the
                     Transaction Documents to which it is or is intended to be a
                     party and to perform its obligations thereunder;

              (ii)   the execution, delivery and performance by each other Major
                     Project Party of each of the Transaction Documents to which
                     it is or is intended to be a party and the consummation of
                     the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
                     authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability
                     company or partnership action on the part of such other
                     Major Project Party; and

              (iii)  each of the Transaction Documents to which any other Major
                     Project Party is a party has been duly executed and
                     delivered by such other Major Project Party and constitutes
                     the legal, valid and binding obligation of such other
                     Project Party enforceable against such other Major Project
                     Party in accordance with its terms, except as the
                     enforceability thereof may be limited by: (A) applicable
                     bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws
                     affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally;
                     and (B) the application of general principles of equity
                     (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
                     a proceeding at law or in equity);


                                      -41-


              provided that these representations shall be made only to the
              knowledge of the Borrower with respect to any other Major Project
              Party that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower.

7.04   NO BREACH.

       (a)    Execution, Etc. of Transaction Documents. The execution, delivery
              and performance by the Borrower of each of the Transaction
              Documents to which it is or is intended to be a party and the
              consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and
              will not: (i) require any consent or approval of any Person that
              has not been obtained (except for consents from the BLM, SCE and
              for certain consents by third parties to the right of the
              Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under the
              Security Documents to step into, cure defaults under or substitute
              a counterparty to, certain Project Documents) and each such
              consent and approval that has been obtained is in full force and
              effect; (ii) violate any material Government Rule or material
              Government Approval applicable to any Project; (iii) conflict
              with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under: (A) the
              Borrower's Charter Documents or any corporate, limited liability
              company action or any resolution of the member of the Borrower; or
              (B) any Project Document other than with respect to the Consents
              described in clause (i) above that have not been obtained or any
              indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material
              agreement, lease or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or
              by which it or its Property may be bound or affected in any
              material respect; or (iv) result in, or create any Lien (other
              than a Permitted Lien) upon or with respect to any of the
              properties now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower.

       (b)    No Breach. The Borrower is not in violation of any Government Rule
              or Government Approval that could reasonably be expected to result
              in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower is not in breach of or
              default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other
              agreement, lease or instrument referred to in paragraph (a)(iii)
              above, except such breaches or defaults that, in the aggregate
              could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
              Effect.

7.05   GOVERNMENT APPROVALS; GOVERNMENT RULES.

       (a)    Borrower. All Government Approvals necessary under Government
              Rules to be obtained by or on behalf of the Borrower on or prior
              to the Closing Date are set out in Schedules VI and, except for
              those Government Approvals set out in Schedule VII which are not
              currently required for any Project, have been duly obtained, were
              validly issued, are in full force and effect, are not subject to
              appeal, are held in the name, or on behalf of, such Person and are
              free from conditions or requirements compliance with which could
              reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or
              which such Person does not reasonably expect to be able to satisfy
              on or prior to the time when necessary.

                                      -42-


       (b)    Other Major Project Parties. To the Borrower's knowledge: (i) each
              other Major Project Party has obtained all Government Approvals
              necessary under Government Rules that are required to be obtained
              on or prior to the Closing Date in order for such other Major
              Project Party to perform its obligations under the Transaction
              Documents to which it is or is intended to be a party, other than
              those Government Approvals not currently required for any Project;
              and (ii) such Government Approvals are in full force and effect,
              are not subject to appeal, are held in the name of such other
              Major Project Party and are free from conditions or requirements
              compliance with which could reasonably be expected to result in a
              Material Adverse Effect or which the Borrower does not reasonably
              expect such other Major Project Party to be able to satisfy on or
              prior to the time when necessary.

       (c)    No Material Omission. The information set out in each application
              and all other written materials submitted by the Borrower (and to
              the Borrower's knowledge, each other Major Project Party) to the
              applicable Government Authority in connection with each of its
              Government Approvals is accurate and complete in all material
              respects as of the date submitted to such Government Authority and
              does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make such
              information not misleading.

       (d)    Future Government Approvals. The Borrower has no reason to believe
              that any Government Approvals that have not been obtained by it or
              any other Major Project Party as of the date of this Agreement,
              but which will be required in the future, will not be obtained in
              due course on or prior to the time when necessary and will be free
              from any condition or requirement, compliance with which could
              reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       (e)    Compliance of Upgrade Project. The Upgrade Project, if constructed
              in accordance with the Plans and Specifications therefor and
              otherwise Developed as contemplated by the Project Documents, will
              conform to and comply, in all material respects, with all
              covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations in the
              Government Approvals applicable thereto and all Government Rules.

       (f)    Copies Provided to Administrative Agent. In accordance with
              Section 6.01(h), the Administrative Agent has received a certified
              copy of each Government Approval heretofore obtained.

7.06   PROCEEDINGS. There is no action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity
       or by or before any Government Authority, arbitral tribunal or other body
       now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or
       affecting it, any of its Property (including any Project) or, to the
       knowledge of the Borrower, any other Major Project Party, that could
       reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No winding
       up, dissolution or similar process is pending or threatened against the
       Borrower or (to the knowledge of the Borrower) any other Major Project
       Party except, after the


                                      -43-


       Closing Date, to the extent such process, if adversely determined, could
       not reasonably be expected to result in an Event of Default.

7.07   ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

       (a)    Environmental Claims. Except as described in Part A of Schedule
              VIII, to the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no facts,
              circumstances, conditions or occurrences regarding any Project
              that could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an
              Environmental Claim arising with respect to any Project or against
              such Project, the Borrower or, in connection with its involvement
              in any Project, any other Environmental Party, that individually
              or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a
              Material Adverse Effect.

       (b)    Threatened Environmental Claims. Except as set out in Part B of
              Schedule VIII, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the
              Borrower no past or, threatened Environmental Claims arising with
              respect to any Project or against such Project, the Borrower or,
              in connection with its involvement in the Development of any
              Project, any other Environmental Party, that individually or in
              the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
              Adverse Effect.

       (c)    Hazardous Materials. Except as set out in Part C of Schedule VIII,
              to the Borrower's knowledge no Hazardous Materials have been Used
              or Released at, on, under or from any Project in an amount or
              concentration that is not otherwise in compliance with applicable
              Environmental Law and that individually or in the aggregate could
              reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

       (d)    Other Materials. There are not now and, to the knowledge of the
              Borrower, never have been any underground storage tanks located at
              any Project. There is no asbestos contained in, forming part of,
              or contaminating any part of any Project, and no polychlorinated
              biphenyls are used, stored, located at or contaminate any part of
              any Project.

       (e)    Investigations. There have been no environmental investigations,
              studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or that
              are in the possession of the Borrower (or, with respect to such
              investigations, studies, audits, reviews and other analysis
              conducted prior to April 15, 2002, known by the Borrower to be in
              its possession) in relation to any Project that have not been
              provided to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

7.08   TAXES. The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns that
       are required by applicable law to be filed, and has paid all Taxes shown
       to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against
       the Borrower or any of its Property and all other Taxes imposed on the
       Borrower by any Government Authority (other than Taxes the payment of
       which are not yet due or that are being Contested) except, in each case,
       where such failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
       Adverse Effect.


                                      -44-


       No Liens for Taxes (other than Permitted Liens) against the Borrower or
       any of its Property exist and no claims are being asserted against the
       Borrower or any of its Property with respect to any Taxes. The aggregate
       amount of sales, excise or property taxes imposed or reasonably expected
       to be imposed on the Borrower or any of its Property does not exceed the
       amounts provided therefor in the Closing Pro Forma. The charges, accruals
       and reserves on its books in respect of Taxes are, in the opinion of the
       Borrower, adequate.

7.09   TAX STATUS.

       (a)    For Federal and state income tax purposes, the Borrower is
              disregarded as an entity separate from its owner.

       (b)    Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other
              Transaction Documents or the Non-Material Project Contracts nor
              the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
              thereby shall affect the classification of the Borrower as set out
              in paragraph (a) above.

7.10   ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
       that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which
       liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected
       to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all
       accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions
       used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87)
       did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements
       reflecting such amounts, materially exceed the fair market value of the
       assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit
       obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for
       purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not,
       as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such
       amounts, materially exceed the fair market value of the assets of all
       such underfunded Plans.

7.11   NATURE OF BUSINESS. The Borrower has not engaged in any business other
       than the Development of the Projects and with respect to the SIGC Lease.
       Neither the business nor any Properties of the Borrower are or have been
       affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor
       dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the
       public enemy or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that
       could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.12   TITLE; SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

       (a)    Title. The Borrower owns and has good, legal and marketable title
              to the Collateral purported to be covered by the Security
              Documents to which it is a party, except for that portion of the
              Collateral which is Real Property, in which the Borrower has a
              valid estate or interest, and all such interests of the Borrower
              are free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.



                                      -45-


              (i)    The Borrower is lawfully possessed of a valid and
                     subsisting estate in and to the Real Property and rights to
                     the Real Property described in the Deed of Trust free and
                     clear of all Liens other than the Liens granted to the
                     Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
                     under the Security Documents and:

                     (A)    as at the Closing Date, exceptions shown on the
                            Title Policy delivered on the Closing Date in
                            relation thereto; and

                     (B)    Permitted Liens.

              (ii)   The Borrower enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession of,
                     all of its Properties (subject only to the Permitted Liens
                     described above) that are necessary for the Projects.

       (b)    Security Documents. The provisions of the Security Documents are
              effective to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the
              benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable
              Lien on and security interest in all of the Collateral purported
              to be covered thereby in accordance with state law and as
              permitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the BLM. All
              necessary and appropriate recordings and filings have been made,
              or are being made concurrently herewith, in all necessary and
              appropriate public offices (including in the jurisdictions set out
              in Schedule V), and all other necessary and appropriate action has
              been, or is concurrently herewith being, taken, so that, subject
              to the rules and regulations of the BLM, each such Security
              Document creates, or as to after-acquired property will create, to
              the extent set forth in such Security Document, a perfected Lien
              on and security interest in all right, title, estate and interest
              in the Collateral covered thereby, prior and superior to all other
              Liens other than Permitted Liens. Except as otherwise agreed by
              the Lenders, all necessary and appropriate consents to the
              creation, perfection and enforcement of such Liens have been
              obtained from each of the parties to the Project Documents except
              for the BLM and SCE. Subject to the rules and regulations of the
              BLM, no mortgage or financing statement or other instrument or

              any Project other than those granted by, or to be provided to the
              Borrower pursuant to, the Project Documents. The Borrower has no
              reason to believe that any services, materials or rights (other
              than Government Approvals) that have not been obtained as of the
              date of this Agreement, but that will be required for a future

              limitation, the Upgrade Project), will not be obtained in due
              course on or prior to the commencement of the appropriate stage of
              Development of such Project and will not contain any condition or

              thereto.

       (c)    No Amendment. Since their certification and delivery in accordance
              with Section 6.01(c) and except as permitted pursuant to Section

              conditions precedent to the obligations of the respective parties
              under the Project Documents have been satisfied or waived except
              for such conditions precedent that need not and cannot be
              satisfied until a later stage of Development of the relevant
              Project, and the Borrower has no reason to believe that any such
              condition precedent cannot be satisfied on or prior to the
              commencement of the appropriate stage of Development of such
              Project.

              (or, if stated to have been made solely as of an earlier date,
              were true and correct as of such date) and do not omit to state
              any material fact necessary to make such representations,
              warranties and other factual statements not misleading.

       (e)    No Default. The Borrower is not in default in the performance of
              any covenant or obligation set out in any Project Document in a
              manner that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
              Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no other party
              to any Project Document is in default in the performance of any
              covenant or obligation set out therein in a manner that could
              reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No
              Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

       furnished by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower on its behalf,
       whether in print or electronic form, to any Financing Party was true and
       accurate in all material respects: on the dates as of which such
       information was furnished, and was not incomplete by omitting to state

       defer or suspend the performance of any of the material obligations of
       the Borrower or such notifying Person under any Transaction Document to
       which it is a party on the basis of "force majeure."

8.05   INSURANCE; EVENTS OF LOSS.

       (a)    Insurance Maintained by the Borrower. The Borrower shall keep its
              present and future properties and business insured as required by
              and in accordance with the terms and conditions described in
              Schedule IV.

       (b)    Compromise, Adjustment or Settlement. The Administrative Agent
              shall be entitled at its option to participate in any compromise,
              adjustment or settlement in connection with any Event of Loss
              under any policy or policies of insurance or any proceeding with
              respect to any condemnation (including a Condemnation) or other
              taking of Property of the Borrower in excess of $1,000,000. The
              Borrower shall, within five Business Days after request therefor,
              reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable
              out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and
              experts' fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection
              with such participation. The Borrower shall not make any
              compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any such
              claim without the approval of the Administrative Agent, which
              approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or
              delayed. The Borrower shall diligently pursue all claims and
              rights to compensation against all relevant insurers and/or
              Government Authorities, as applicable, in respect of any Event of
              Loss.

       (c)    Loss Proceeds. In the event that the Borrower receives any amount
              of Loss Proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss, the Borrower
              shall deposit the amount


                                      -54-


              of such Loss Proceeds in the Restoration Sub-Account. In the event
              that the Borrower receives any amount of proceeds of business
              interruption insurance and other payments received for
              interruption of operations in respect of any Event of Loss, the
              Borrower shall deposit the amount of such proceeds in the Revenue
              Account. In the event that the amount of such Loss Proceeds with
              respect to any Event of Loss is $2,500,000 or less, such amounts
              shall be made available to the Borrower for the purpose of
              Restoring the Affected Property and shall be applied by the
              Borrower to the payment of the cost of the Restoration of the
              Affected Property. In the event that the amount of such Loss
              Proceeds with respect to any Event of Loss is greater than
              $2,500,000, such amounts shall be made available to the Borrower
              from time to time in accordance with paragraph (d) and shall be
              applied by the Borrower to the payment of the cost of the
              Restoration of the Affected Property.

              In the event that the relevant Event of Loss has caused a Project
              to be declared a total loss by its insurers, the Loss Proceeds
              with respect to such Event of Loss shall be promptly applied by
              the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3.04.

       (d)    Restoration. Amounts to be made available to the Borrower from the
              Restoration Sub-Account to be applied to the Restoration of
              Affected Property following any Event of Loss ("RESTORATION WORK")
              shall be remitted to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, in
              the event that the amount of Loss Proceeds with respect to such
              Event of Loss is greater than $2,500,000, subject to the
              satisfaction of the following conditions:

              (i)    in the event that the amount of Loss Proceeds with respect
                     to such Event of Loss is less than or equal to $5,000,000,
                     the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent
                     plans and specifications for the Restoration Work,
                     including reasonable estimates of the costs and time
                     required to complete such Restoration Work ("RESTORATION
                     PLANS") and has certified in writing to the Administrative
                     Agent that the conditions set out in paragraphs (ii)(B),
                     (C), (E) and (F) below have been satisfied; and

              (ii)   in the event that the amount of Loss Proceeds with respect
                     to such Event of Loss is greater than $5,000,000:

                     (A)    the Borrower shall have delivered the relevant
                            Restoration Plan to the Administrative Agent and the
                            Independent Engineer;

                     (B)    the Restoration Plans provide for Restoration Work
                            that is technically feasible and will, upon
                            completion thereof, result in the Project being at
                            least equal in value, general


                                      -55-


                            utility and levels of performance as the Project
                            prior to the Event of Loss;

                     (C)    the Restoration Plans provide for the Restoration
                            Work to be completed within the period covered by
                            business interruption insurance, plus any additional
                            period agreed between the Borrower and the
                            Administrative Agent (after consultation with the
                            Independent Engineer) for a cost not to exceed the
                            relevant Loss Proceeds plus any necessary additional
                            funds ("ADDITIONAL RESTORATION FUNDS") to be
                            contributed towards such Restoration from: (I)
                            amounts then on deposit in the Revenue Account that
                            are distributable in accordance with Section 8.13,
                            which amounts shall be transferred to the
                            Restoration Sub-Account; or (II) cash actually
                            deposited into the Restoration Sub-Account by a
                            Person other than the Borrower;

                     (D)    the Independent Engineer shall have delivered to the
                            Administrative Agent and the Lenders a certificate
                            to the effect that the amount of Loss Proceeds with
                            respect to such Event of Loss that has been
                            deposited in the Restoration Sub-Account together
                            with any Additional Restoration Funds, business
                            interruption insurance proceeds relating thereto and
                            any projected revenues from the Project are
                            sufficient to Restore the Affected Property and to
                            pay all Operation and Maintenance Expenses and all
                            maintenance expenditures for such affected Project
                            and Debt Service, in each case during the period of
                            time that is required, in the opinion of the
                            Independent Engineer, to Restore the Affected
                            Property (the "RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD");

                     (E)    no Event of Default could reasonably be expected to
                            occur during Restoration as a consequence of
                            Restoration Work, assuming that Restoration Work on
                            such Project proceeds in accordance with the
                            Restoration Plan;

                     (F)    the Property constituting the Restoration Work shall

                            otherwise) free and clear of all Liens other than
                            Permitted Liens; and

                     (G)    Each request by the Borrower for a disbursement of
                            funds from the Restoration Sub-Account shall be made
                            on 10 days' prior written notice to the
                            Administrative Agent,


                                      -56-


                            Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank and shall
                            be accompanied by: (I) a certificate of each of an
                            Authorized Officer of the Borrower and the
                            Independent Engineer that: (1) all of the
                            Restoration Work completed has been done
                            substantially in compliance with the Restoration
                            Plan therefor; (2) the sum requested is required to
                            pay, or to reimburse the Borrower for, costs
                            incurred in connection with such Restoration Work
                            (giving a brief description of the services and
                            materials provided in connection with such
                            Restoration Work); (3) the sum requested, when added
                            to all Loss Proceeds and Additional Restoration
                            Funds with respect to the relevant Event of Loss
                            previously paid out by the Depositary Bank, does not
                            exceed the cost of the Restoration Work done as of
                            the date of such certificate; and (4) the amount of
                            Loss Proceeds with respect to the relevant Event of
                            Loss remaining in the Restoration Sub-Account,
                            together with any remaining Additional Restoration
                            Funds, will be sufficient to complete the

                            such completion in such reasonable detail as the
                            Administrative Agent may reasonably request); (II) a

                            certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall
                            have occurred and is continuing at such date; and
                            (III) partial lien waivers executed by each
                            contractor and major subcontractor involved in the
                            Restoration Work that shall cover all labor,
                            materials (including equipment and fixtures of all

                            the date of such payment.

              Once such Restoration Work is complete (such completion to be
              evidenced by a certificate of the Borrower delivered to the
              Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Depositary
              Bank), any remaining relevant Loss Proceeds shall be applied as
              set out in Section 4.3 of the Depositary Agreement.

              If the Borrower shall at any time abandon the Restoration Work or
              otherwise fail to pursue the Restoration Work substantially in
              accordance with the Restoration Plans, then, to the extent that
              such Loss Proceeds shall not otherwise have been remitted as
              aforesaid to the Borrower, such Loss Proceeds shall promptly (at
              the direction of the Majority Lenders) be applied by the
              Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3.04(a). Anything
              to the contrary in this Section 8.05 notwithstanding, if as the
              result of such Event of Loss or Restoration Work an Event of
              Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative
              Agent


                                      -57-


              may instruct the Depositary Bank to apply any amount of such Loss

       Project Party or any of such Person's Property, any Transaction Document,
       any Project or the Collateral, in each case that could reasonably be
       expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or (b) becoming aware of
       any other circumstance, act or condition (including the adoption,
       amendment or repeal of any Government Rule or the Impairment of any
       Government Approval or notice (whether formal or informal, written or
       oral) of the failure to comply with the terms and conditions of any
       Government Approval) that could reasonably be expected to result in a
       Material Adverse Effect, in each case, furnish to the Administrative
       Agent a notice of such event describing the same in reasonable detail
       and, together with such notice or as soon thereafter as practicable, a
       description of the action that the Borrower or such other Major Project
       Party has taken and, with respect to the Borrower, proposes to take with
       respect thereto.

8.07   TAXES. The Borrower shall pay and discharge all Taxes imposed on it or on

       notify the Agents of any change in its independent accountants. The
       Independent Engineer shall have the right to inspect any Project in order
       to perform its obligations under the Financing Documents, including, to
       witness and verify any acceptance tests and to discuss the Borrower's
       affairs with its principal officers and engineers, all at such reasonable
       times and at such intervals as the Independent Engineer may reasonably
       request. The Borrower shall at all times maintain and preserve a complete
       set of Plans and Specifications for each Project (and any Restoration
       Plans with respect to such Project) at such Project's Site, available for

       obligations under the Financing Documents), the Agents and any Lender.

8.09   USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrower shall utilize the proceeds of the Loans as
       provided in the second paragraph of this Agreement.

       more Interest Rate Cap Agreements providing for the payment to the

              consent is obtained from the Majority Lenders: (i) perform and
              observe in all material respects all of its material covenants and
              obligations contained in each of the Project Documents to which it
              is a party; and (ii) except as permitted by Section 8.22(b): (A)
              take all reasonable and necessary action to prevent the
              termination or cancellation of any Project Documents in accordance
              with the terms thereof or otherwise; and (B) enforce against the
              relevant Project Party each material covenant or obligation of
              such Project Document in accordance with its terms, unless the
              failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to result in
              a Material Adverse Effect. Anything in the foregoing to the
              contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be
              paid, when due, all claims for labor, material, supplies or
              services (under the Project Documents or otherwise) that, if
              unpaid, could by law result in a Mechanics' Lien; provided that:
              (A) in the event that, in accordance with the provisions of the
              relevant Project Document, any such claim may be paid in
              installments or may be deferred (whether or not interest shall
              accrue on the unpaid balance thereof), the Borrower may pay such
              claim in installments (together with accrued interest on the
              unpaid balance thereof, if any) as the same become due or prior to
              the end of such period of deferral; and (B) the Borrower shall
              have the right to contest the validity or amount of such claim.

       (b)    No Cancellation, Assignment, Etc. The Borrower shall not, without
              the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders:

              (i)    cancel or terminate any Project Document to which it is a
                     party or consent to or accept any cancellation or
                     termination thereof;

              (ii)   sell, assign (other than pursuant to the Security
                     Documents) or otherwise dispose of (by operation of law or
                     otherwise) any part of its interest in any Project
                     Document, except as permitted by Section 8.12;

              (iii)  waive any default under, or material breach of, any Project

                     settle, adjust or release any material right, interest or
                     entitlement, howsoever arising, under or in respect of any
                     Project Document or in any way vary, or agree to the
                     variation of, any material provision of such Project
                     Document or of the performance of any material covenant or
                     obligation by any other Person under any Project Document;



                                      -62-


              (iv)   exercise any "price reopener" or quantity adjustment
                     provisions or similar contractual adjustment provisions
                     (whether or not such provisions relate to price or
                     quantity) under any Project Document or act upon any "price
                     reopener" or quantity adjustment provisions or any such
                     similar contractual adjustment provisions under any Project
                     Document exercised by any other Project Party (except, in
                     each case, upon instructions of the Majority Lenders (after
                     Expert Consultation));

              (v)    petition, request or take any other legal or administrative
                     action that seeks, or may reasonably be expected, to Impair
                     any Project Document or amend, modify or supplement any
                     Project Document; or

              (vi)   amend, supplement or modify any Project Document (in each
                     case as in effect on the Closing Date (or if executed
                     subsequently, its execution date) other than as
                     contemplated by the Energy Services Agreement and as
                     thereafter amended, supplemented or modified in accordance
                     with this paragraph (b)) in any material respect.

       (c)    Additional Project Documents. The Borrower shall not enter into
              any Additional Project Document (other than Interest Rate Cap
              Agreements) without the prior approval of the Majority Lenders
              (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless:
              (i) the terms of such Additional Project Document are in
              accordance with the terms of the then-current Annual Operating
              Plan and Budget; (ii) entering into such Additional Project
              Document could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
              Adverse Effect; (iii) the terms and conditions of such Additional

              (iv) the Borrower shall take (or cause to be taken) all action
              necessary to create and perfect the Lien and security interests of

              Documents).

       (d)    Restrictions. The Borrower shall not enter into any contract or
              agreement (other than the Financing Documents and any Project
              Document related to the Upgrade Project) or take any other action
              that, directly or indirectly, restricts its ability to: (i) enter
              into amendments, modifications, supplements or waivers of any of
              the Transaction Documents; (ii) sell, transfer or otherwise
              dispose of its assets other than in the ordinary course of its

              with Section 8.13.

       (e)    Delivery of Documents. Promptly after the execution and delivery

                                      -63-


              the Borrower) of: (A) all amendments, supplements, change orders
              or modifications of any Project Document to which such Person is a
              party; and (B) all Additional Project Documents to which it is a

              Contract to exceed $750,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower.

8.23   ANNUAL OPERATING PLANS AND BUDGETS; OPERATING STATEMENTS.

       (a)    Annual Operating Plan and Budget.

              (i)    Scope of Annual Operating Plan and Budget. The Borrower
                     shall prepare and submit to the Administrative Agent (with
                     sufficient copies to permit distribution to each Lender and
                     the Independent Engineer), as and when required by this
                     Agreement, a consolidated annual operating plan and budget
                     for the Borrower for the upcoming Operating Year, including
                     operating and maintenance programs, capital expenditure
                     programs, and budgeted statements of income and sources and
                     uses of cash and balance sheets (the "ANNUAL OPERATING PLAN
                     AND BUDGET"). The Annual Operating Plan and Budget shall be
                     accompanied by a statement of a financial officer of the
                     Borrower to the effect that, to the best of such officer's
                     knowledge, such budget is a reasonable estimate for the
                     period covered thereby and is in compliance with the
                     requirements of this Section 8.23(a).

              (ii)   Contents. Each Annual Operating Plan and Budget shall
                     contain reasonable estimates of Project Revenues (broken
                     out by source), Operation and Maintenance Expenses,
                     Extraordinary Operation Expenses (as defined in the O&M
                     Contract (including a monthly breakdown thereof), capital
                     expenditures, projected working capital requirements of the
                     Borrower and production goals, including detailed
                     assumptions regarding the dispatch of each Project and
                     power prices, in each case, for each calendar month covered
                     by such Annual Operating Plan and Budget, based on the
                     reasonable projections at such time. Such projections shall
                     be based on all facts and circumstances then existing and
                     known to the Borrower and that reflect a reasonable
                     estimate of its future results for the upcoming Operating
                     Year and, in the case of its net income, the next
                     succeeding three (3) Operating Years. Each Annual Operating
                     Plan and Budget shall also address each Project's interface
                     requirements in relation to local utilities,


                                      -64-


                     proposed staffing levels and safety, regulatory and
                     environmental compliance programs. Each Annual Operating
                     Plan and Budget shall be prepared in good faith on the
                     basis of written assumptions stated therein which the
                     Borrower believes to be reasonable as to all factual and
                     legal matters material to such estimates.

              (iii)  Form of Annual Operating Plan and Budget. Unless otherwise
                     consented to by the Administrative Agent, which consent
                     shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
                     each Annual Operating Plan and Budget from year to year
                     shall be based on the same format as the "Data Import"
                     worksheet that is a part of the Closing Pro Forma and be
                     maintained on the same basis and provide sufficient detail
                     to permit a meaningful comparison to previous years.

              (iv)   At least 45 (but no more than 90) days prior to the end of
                     each Operating Year, the Borrower shall prepare and submit
                     to the Administrative Agent a draft Annual Operating Plan
                     and Budget for the upcoming Operating Year.

              (v)    Effectiveness and Approval of Annual Operating Plans and
                     Budgets. Subject to the following sentence, a draft Annual
                     Operating Plan and Budget shall become effective on the
                     first day of the relevant Operating Year. In relation to
                     any draft Annual Operating Plan and Budget delivered
                     pursuant to paragraph (iv) above in relation to a new
                     Operating Year, if: (A) expenses for the Operating Year
                     covered thereby for any Project exceed those set out for
                     such Project in the then-current Annual Operating Plan and
                     Budget by more than 10% on a consolidated basis; or (B)
                     actual expenditures for any Project in respect of Operation
                     and Maintenance Expenses in the then-current Operating Year
                     met the conditions set out in paragraph (b)(i)(B) below, in
                     each case: (I) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
                     Agent thereof when submitting the draft Annual Operating
                     Plan and Budget pursuant to paragraph (a)(iv) above or (b)
                     below; and (II) Majority Lender approval of such draft
                     Annual Operating Plan and Budget shall be required, which
                     approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or
                     delayed. If the Administrative Agent does not inform the
                     Borrower of the Majority Lenders' disapproval of the
                     submitted Annual Operating Plan and Budget within 30 days
                     after submission thereof to the Administrative Agent, such
                     Annual Operating Plan and Budget shall be deemed approved
                     by the Majority Lenders. If the Majority Lenders do not
                     approve an Annual Operating Plan and Budget, the
                     Administrative Agent shall


                                      -65-


                     advise the Borrower of the items that are disapproved and
                     the reason for such disapproval.

                     If all or any portion of an Annual Operating Plan and
                     Budget is disapproved, the Borrower shall adhere to all
                     approved aspects of such Annual Operating Plan and Budget.
                     With respect to those aspects of any Annual Operating Plan
                     and Budget that are not approved, the Annual Operating Plan
                     and Budget for the preceding Operating Year (if
                     applicable), adjusted (in relation to budgeted
                     expenditures) for inflation in a manner mutually acceptable
                     to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (after Expert
                     Consultation), shall be applicable thereto (and shall for
                     all purposes hereof be deemed to be part of the approved
                     Annual Operating Plan and Budget for such Operating Year)
                     until such time as such aspects of the Annual Operating
                     Plan and Budget therefor have been approved by the Majority
                     Lenders.

              (vi)   O&M Contract Consistency. The Borrower shall ensure that
                     any budget or other applicable projection under the O&M
                     Contract is consistent with the Annual Operating Plan and
                     Budget hereunder (as modified from time to time hereunder).

       (b)    Operation and Maintenance Expenses.

              (i)    The Borrower shall not at any time during any Operating
                     Year make expenditures for any Project in respect of any
                     Operation and Maintenance Expenses for such Project in
                     excess of:

                     (A)    in the case of any line item or category of the
                            proposed Annual Operating Plan and Budget which is
                            not approved by the Majority Lenders (and until such
                            time as such amounts are so approved), the amounts
                            applicable thereto pursuant to the second paragraph
                            of paragraph (a)(v) above for the period from the
                            beginning of such Operating Year to the end of the
                            current month thereof;

                     (B)    in respect of all other such Operation and
                            Maintenance Expenses, any amount which would cause
                            the aggregate amount of such other expenditures to
                            exceed $250,000; or

                     (C)    solely in respect of the "Compromise Payment" under
                            and as defined in the Energy Services Agreement, an
                            aggregate amount exceeding $724,000;

                     in the case of (A) and (B), without having first proposed
                     an amendment to the then-current Annual Operating Plan and
                     Budget and the Majority


                                      -66-


                     Lenders having approved such amendment in accordance with
                     paragraph (ii) below; provided, however, that no such
                     approval shall be required for the "Compromise Payment"
                     referred to in the foregoing clause (C) or for Emergency
                     Operating Costs up to $1,000,000 per Project in any
                     Operating Year (prorated on the basis of a 365-day year for
                     any Operating Year which is less than a full calendar
                     year).

              (ii)   If at any time during any Operating Year: (A) Operation and
                     Maintenance Expenses to be paid by the Borrower during the
                     balance of such Operating Year exceed or could reasonably
                     be expected to exceed the allowance provisions of paragraph
                     (i) above; or (B) the Borrower believes such costs for the
                     balance of such year will exceed such allowance provisions,
                     in each case, the Borrower shall propose an amendment to
                     the then-current Annual Operating Plan and Budget (with
                     copies thereof delivered to the Administrative Agent and
                     the Independent Engineer). Such amendment shall become
                     effective on the date that such proposal is approved by the
                     Majority Lenders. At the time the Borrower submits such
                     proposal, the Borrower shall certify the purpose of such
                     amendment and that such amendment is reasonably necessary
                     or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the
                     Projects. If the Majority Lenders do not approve a proposed
                     amendment, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
                     Borrower of the items that are disapproved and the reason
                     for such disapproval. If all or any portion of a proposed
                     amendment is disapproved, the Borrower shall adhere to the
                     Operation and Maintenance Expenses included in the approved
                     Annual Operating Plan and Budget (subject to the allowance
                     provisions of paragraph (i) above).

      (c)     O&M Contract Operating Reports. The Borrower shall furnish to the
              Administrative Agent a copy of each Quarterly Operations Reports

              (vi) any other known conditions which may adversely affect the
              technical or financial performance of the Projects, and (vii) the
              incurrence or payment of any "Extraordinary Operation Expenses"
              under and as defined in the O&M Contract.

              in paragraph (g) or (h) above and such proceedings shall continue
              undismissed or unstayed for a period of 90 or more days (or such
              shorter period of time which such Person has pursuant to
              Government Rule to cause the dismissal of such proceeding or stay
              the effectiveness of any such order, judgment or decree).

       (l)    A judgment or judgments for the payment of money is rendered by
              one or more Government Authorities against the Borrower in an
              aggregate amount (less any amount that applicable insurers have
              acknowledged liability for) exceeding $500,000 in the aggregate,
              and the same shall not be discharged (or provision shall not be
              made for such discharge), or a stay of execution thereof shall not
              be procured, within 45 days from the date of entry thereof, and
              such Person shall not, within said period of 45 days, or such
              longer period during which execution of the same shall have been
              stayed, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be
              stayed during such appeal, or any action shall be taken by a
              judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of such Person
              to enforce any such judgment.

       (m)    An ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the
              Administrative Agent, when taken together with all other ERISA
              Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result
              in a Material Adverse Effect.

       (n)    (i) Any Environmental Claim arising with respect to the
              Development of any Project shall have been asserted against such
              Project, the Borrower or the Operator or, in connection with its
              involvement with the Development of a Project, any other
              Environmental Party which, if adversely determined, could
              reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (ii)
              any Release or Use of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or
              from such Project shall have occurred which could reasonably be

       (o)    Any Indebtedness of the Borrower in excess of $500,000 is not paid
              when due (after giving effect to any grace period applicable
              thereto), becomes due and payable by reason of any default or
              event of default with respect thereto (howsoever described), or
              could under the terms of the documentation evidencing such
              Indebtedness (after giving effect to any grace period applicable
              thereto)


                                      -72-

       (p)    (i) The Borrower, the Sponsor, SCE, the Operator or Imperial
              Irrigation District shall fail to obtain, renew, maintain or
              comply with all Government Approvals as shall now or hereafter be
              necessary or desirable; or (ii) any Government Approval related to
              any Project shall be Impaired or shall cease to be in full force
              and effect; or (iii) any action, suit, proceeding or investigation
              shall be commenced by or before any Government Authority that
              could reasonably to expected to result in the Impairment of any
              such Government Approval and such action, suit, proceeding or
              investigation is not dismissed or terminated within 90 days and,
              in each such case, such failure, Impairment, cessation or
              commencement could reasonably be expected to have a Material
              Adverse Effect.

       (q)    (i) Except as expressly contemplated pursuant to paragraph (u)
              below, any material provision of any Transaction Document shall at
              any time for any reason cease to be valid and binding or in full
              force and effect; or (ii) except as expressly contemplated
              pursuant to paragraph (u) below, any Transaction Document shall be
              Impaired in whole or part; or (iii) the validity or enforceability
              of any Transaction Document shall be contested by any party
              thereto (other than either Agent or the Lenders) or any Government
              Authority; or (iv) the Borrower, the Sponsor, SCE, the Operator or
              Imperial Irrigation District shall deny that it has any or further
              liability or obligation under any Transaction Document and, in
              each such case, such cessation, Impairment, contest or denial
              could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       (r)    Any Security Document shall cease to be in full force and effect
              or to be effective to grant a perfected Lien to the Collateral
              Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on any part of the
              Collateral described therein having value in excess of $100,000 in
              the aggregate with the priority purported to be created thereby
              subject to the rules and regulations of the BLM.

       (s)    Any Material Adverse Effect shall occur and be continuing.

       (t)    One or more judgments or decrees is entered against the Borrower
              in the form of an injunction or other similar relief requiring
              suspension or abandonment of the Development of any Project (or a
              material portion thereof) for a continuous period of at least 90
              days, and such judgment or decree is not vacated, discharged or
              stayed or bonded pending appeal within 90 days (or any shorter
              appeal period as is available under applicable Government Rules
              from the date of entry thereof).

       (u)    The Borrower or the Operator ceases to carry on or suspends all or
              substantially all of its activities in connection with the
              Development of a Project or otherwise abandons or permits the
              abandonment of its Project, in each case for a period of 45 days
              or more, other than where the cessation or suspension is for bona
              fide


                                      -73-


              operational reasons or due to an event of force majeure and the
              Borrower is using commercially reasonable efforts to commence or
              recommence such construction or operation.

       (v)    The Tower Repairs fail to be substantially completed on or prior
              to July 1, 2003.

9.02   RIGHTS UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence and during the
       continuation of an Event of Default:

       (a)    the Administrative Agent may, and, upon request of the Majority
              Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Collateral
              Agent, terminate the Commitments and/or declare the principal
              amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, the Loans
              and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder and under
              the Notes (including, without limitation, any amounts payable
              under Section 5.05 or 5.06) to be forthwith due and payable,
              whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable
              without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any
              kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;
              and

       (b)    in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to
              in paragraph (g) or (h) above with respect to the Borrower, the
              Commitments shall automatically be terminated and the principal
              amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, the Loans
              and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder and under
              the Notes (including any amounts payable under Section 5.05 or
              5.06) shall automatically become immediately due and payable
              without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any
              kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

         Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, upon the occurrence and
         during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may
         exercise any and all remedies available to it under law or equity and
         any Lender may exercise any right of set-off available to it. Without
         limiting the foregoing, remedies under any Security Document may only
         be exercised by the Collateral Agent, although any Secured Party shall
         have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any default under a
         Security Document subject to the rules and regulations of the BLM.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                   THE AGENTS

10.01  APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES. Each Lender hereby appoints and
       authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to
       act as its agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents to
       which such Agent is or becomes a party with such powers as are
       specifically delegated to such Agent by the terms of this


                                      -74-


       Agreement and of such other Financing Documents, together with such other
       powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent (which term as
       used in this sentence and in Section 10.05 and the first sentence of
       Section 10.06 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and
       its Affiliates' officers, directors, employees, representatives,
       attorneys and agents):

       (a)    shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly
              set out in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents to
              which such Agent is or becomes a party, and shall not by reason of
              this Agreement or any such other Financing Document be a trustee
              for any Lender or subject to any fiduciary or other implied
              duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
              continuing;

       (b)    shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals,
              statements, representations or warranties contained in this
              Agreement or in any other Financing Document, or in any
              certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or
              received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other
              Financing Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
              genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
              any other Financing Document or any other document referred to or
              provided for herein or therein, or for the validity or sufficiency
              of the security afforded hereby or thereby, or for any failure by
              the Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations
              hereunder or thereunder;

       (c)    shall not, except (in the case of the Collateral Agent) to the
              extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with respect
              to collateral security under the Security Documents, be required
              to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings
              hereunder or with respect hereto or under, or with respect to, any
              other Financing Document;

       (d)    shall not be liable or responsible for any action taken, suffered
              or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under, or with respect
              to, any other Financing Document or under any other document or
              instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in
              connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross
              negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court
              of competent jurisdiction; and

       (e)    shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to the
              Financing Documents or applicable Government Rules.

       Each Agent may employ agents, experts and attorneys-in-fact and shall not
       be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents,
       experts or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The
       Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
       holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the
       assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
       Administrative


                                      -75-


       Agent, together with the consent of the Borrower to such assignment or
       transfer (to the extent provided in Section 11.06(b)).

10.02  RELIANCE BY AGENTS. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
       not incur any liability for relying upon, any certification, notice or
       other written communication (including any thereof by telex, telegram or
       cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
       been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and
       upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and
       other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent may also rely upon any
       statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made
       by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
       thereon. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement
       or any other Financing Document to which an Agent is intended to be a
       party, such Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
       refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with
       instructions given by the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders as is
       required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and
       any action taken, suffered or omitted or failure to act pursuant thereto
       shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

       Without limiting the foregoing, each Agent shall be entitled to advice of
       counsel and other professionals concerning all matters of trust and its
       duty hereunder, but no Agent shall be answerable or responsible for the
       professional malpractice of any attorney-at-law or certified public
       accountant or for the acts or omissions of any other professional in
       connection with the rendering of professional advice in accordance with
       the terms of this Agreement, if such attorney-at-law, certified public
       accountant or other professional was selected by such Agent with due
       care.

10.03  DEFAULTS. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge or notice of
       the occurrence of a Default (other than, in the case of the
       Administrative Agent, the non-payment of principal of or interest on
       Loans or of commitment fees payable to the Administrative Agent and, in
       the case of each Agent, fees payable to it under Financing Documents)
       unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower
       specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of
       Default". In the event that any Agent receives such a notice of the
       occurrence of a Default, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
       the Lenders (and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall give
       each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment) and the other Agent.
       Each Agent shall (subject to Section 10.07) take such action with respect
       to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders or, if
       provided herein, all of the Lenders, as applicable; provided that, unless
       and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may
       (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
       such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in
       the best interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement
       expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with
       the consent or upon the authorization of the Majority Lenders or all of
       the Lenders, as applicable.

                                      -76-


10.04  RIGHTS AS A LENDER. With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by
       it, United (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or
       Collateral Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the
       same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the
       same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent or the
       Collateral Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the
       context otherwise indicates, include United in its individual capacity.
       United (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral
       Agent, as applicable) and its Affiliates may (without having to account
       therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
       engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower
       (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the
       Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and United
       (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
       applicable) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration
       from the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) for services in connection
       with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same
       to the Lenders.

10.05  INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (to the extent
       not reimbursed under Section 11.03, but without limiting the obligations
       of the Borrower under Section 11.03) ratably in accordance with the
       aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no
       Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their
       respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations,
       losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, fines, claims, demands,
       settlements, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and
       nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
       against such Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason
       of any investigation or in any way relating to or arising out of this
       Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other documents
       contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
       contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses which
       the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 11.03, but excluding,
       unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative
       costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties
       hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of
       any such other documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
       of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
       willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent
       jurisdiction) of the party to be indemnified. The obligations of the
       Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the termination of this
       Agreement, the repayment of the Loans or the earlier resignation or
       removal of either Agent.

10.06  NON-RELIANCE ON AGENTS AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender agrees that it has,
       independently and without reliance on either Agent or any other Lender,
       and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
       made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and its Affiliates and its
       own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently
       and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender, and based on
       such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
       continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking
       action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. No Agent
       shall be required to


                                      -77-


       keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower
       or any other Person of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
       or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to
       inspect the Properties or books of the Borrower or such other Person.
       Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
       required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Agent hereunder or under
       the Financing Documents, such Agent shall not have any duty or
       responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
       concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower
       (or any Affiliate thereof) which may come into the possession of such
       Agent or any of its Affiliates.

10.07  FAILURE TO ACT. Except for action expressly required of an Agent
       hereunder and under the other Financing Documents to which such Agent is
       or becomes a party, such Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in
       failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall
       receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their
       indemnification obligations under Section 10.05 against any and all
       liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
       continuing to take any such action. No provision of this Agreement shall
       require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
       incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
       hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall
       have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or
       adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
       assured to it. Each Agent shall be entitled to interest (calculated on a
       per annum basis) on all amounts advanced by it hereunder in its
       discretion at the Federal Funds Rate. Each Agent shall at any time be
       entitled to cease taking any action if it no longer deems any indemnity
       or undertaking from the Lenders to be sufficient.

10.08  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF AGENTS. Subject to the appointment and
       acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, an Agent may resign at
       any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and an
       Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority
       Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall
       have the right to appoint, with the consent of the Borrower (unless a
       Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such consent
       not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a successor Agent. If no
       successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and
       shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
       Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders' removal
       of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent, at its discretion, may,
       on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
       bank which has an office in New York, New York with capital, surplus and
       undivided profits of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
       appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent
       shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
       privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall
       be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
       retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the
       provisions of this Article X and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect
       for its benefit in respect of any actions taken,


                                      -78-


       suffered or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as such Agent.
       Each Agent agrees not to resign solely as a result of the occurrence and
       continuance of a Default or an Event of Default.

10.09  CONSENTS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.04, each Agent may,
       with the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders (but not
       otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any
       Transaction Document; provided that, without the prior written consent of
       each Lender, the Collateral Agent shall not (except as provided herein or
       in the Security Documents) release any Collateral or otherwise terminate
       any Lien under any Security Document, or agree to additional obligations
       being secured by the Collateral (unless the Lien for such additional
       obligations shall be junior to the Lien in favor of the other obligations
       secured by such Security Document and is otherwise permitted hereunder)
       or alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the
       benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect
       to any of the Collateral, except that no such consent shall be required,
       and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien
       covering the Borrower's Property that is the subject of a disposition of
       Property permitted under this Agreement or under the relevant Security
       Document or to which the Lenders have consented.

10.10  COLLATERAL AGENT. The Collateral Agent shall:

       (a)    forward promptly after receipt thereof (and use its best efforts
              to forward within five Business Days of such receipt): (i) to each
              Secured Party a copy of each document furnished to such Agent for
              such Secured Party under this Agreement, and any other Financing
              Documents to which such Agent is a party; and (ii) to the
              Administrative Agent any notice delivered to the Collateral Agent
              pursuant to any Consent and Agreement;

       (b)    have the right, but not the obligation, to: (i) refuse any item
              for credit to any Account except as required by the terms of the
              Financing Documents; (ii) refuse to honor any request for transfer
              in relation to any Account that is not consistent with the
              Financing Documents; (iii) charge to any Account all applicable
              charges; and (iv) pay fees, interest and other charges owing by
              the Borrower as provided herein and in the other Transaction
              Documents;

       (c)    except as otherwise provided herein and in the Depositary
              Agreement (including by the provision of standing instructions
              therein), and subject to the provisions of Section 10.07, take all
              actions and make all determinations with respect to the Collateral
              and the Security Documents, including as to the advisability of
              taking additional steps to perfect, or cause the perfection of,
              any security interest, as directed in writing by the
              Administrative Agent; and

       (d)    have the right at any time to seek clarification and instructions
              concerning the administration of the Financing Documents from the
              Administrative Agent, legal


                                      -79-


              counsel or any court of competent jurisdiction and shall be fully
              protected in relying upon such instructions.

                                   ARTICLE XI

       Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or
       partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement,
       any Note or any other Financing Document shall preclude any other or
       further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or

              willful misconduct of such Indemnitee) that may at any time
              (including at any time following the Termination Date) be imposed
              on, asserted against or incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of,
              or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of:

                     Transaction Document or the execution, delivery or
                     performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction
                     Document;

              (ii)   the extensions of credit hereunder or the actual or
                     proposed use by the Borrower of any of the extensions of
                     credit hereunder or the grant to the Collateral Agent for
                     the benefit of, or to any of, the Secured Parties of any
                     Lien on the Collateral or on any other Property of the
                     Borrower, the Sponsor or any ownership interest in the
                     Borrower;

              (iii)  the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured

              (iv)   any Environmental Law (including any Lien filed against any
                     Project by or in favor of any Government Authority) as a
                     result of the past, present or future operations of the
                     Borrower, the Sponsor (as it relates to the Projects) or
                     the Operator (or any predecessor in interest to any such
                     person), or the past, present or future condition of any
                     site or facility owned, operated or leased at any time by
                     the Borrower, the Sponsor or the Operator (or any such
                     predecessor in interest to any such person), or any Release
                     or Use or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at
                     any such site or facility, that is not otherwise in
                     accordance with applicable Environmental Law, including any
                     such Release or Use or threatened Release which shall occur
                     during any period when such Indemnitee shall be in
                     possession of any such site or facility following the
                     exercise by either Agent or any other Secured Party of any
                     of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any Financing

              accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the amounts
              payable by the Borrower under this Section 11.03; provided that
              the failure of any Financing Party to maintain such records shall
              not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to make
              such payments.

                                      -82-


11.04  AMENDMENTS; ETC. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
       Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified
       only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Borrower, the
       Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Majority Lenders, or
       by each of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
       Agent acting with the consent of the Majority Lenders, and any provision
       of this Agreement may be waived by the Majority Lenders or by the
       Administrative Agent acting with the consent of the Majority Lenders;
       provided that:

       (a)    no amendment, modification or waiver shall, unless by an
              instrument signed by all of the Lenders or by the Administrative
              Agent acting with the consent of all of the Lenders: (i) increase
              or extend the term, or extend the time or waive any requirement
              for the reduction or termination, of the Commitments; (ii) extend
              the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on any
              Loan or any fee hereunder; (iii) reduce the amount of any such
              payment of principal; (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is
              payable thereon or any fee is payable hereunder; (v) alter the
              rights or obligations of the Borrower to prepay Loans; (vi) alter
              the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest
              or other amounts hereunder shall be applied among the Lenders or
              Types or Classes of Loans; (vii) alter the terms of this Section
              11.04; (viii) amend the definition of the term "Majority Lenders"
              or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the
              Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights
              hereunder or to modify any provision hereof; (ix) waive any of the
              conditions precedent set out in Section 6.01; or (x) release all
              or any material portion of the Collateral; and

       (b)    any amendment, modification, waiver or supplement of the rights or
              duties of either Agent hereunder shall require the consent of such
              Agent.

       Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any
       time when the conditions precedent set out in Article VI to any extension
       of credit hereunder are, in the opinion of the Majority Lenders,
       satisfied, any Lender shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such
       extension of credit, then, for so long as such failure shall continue,
       such Lender shall (unless the Majority Lenders, determined as if such
       Lender were not a "Lender" hereunder, shall otherwise consent in writing)
       be deemed for all purposes relating to amendments, modifications, waivers
       or consents under this Agreement or any other Financing Document
       (including under this Section 11.04 and under Section 10.09) to have no
       Loans or Commitments, shall not be treated as a "Lender" hereunder when
       performing the computation of Majority Lenders, and shall have no rights
       under the preceding paragraph of this Section 11.04.

       Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or
       modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect
       (either immediately or at some later time) of enabling the Borrower to
       satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Loan of any Class shall
       be effective against the Lenders making Loans of such Class for purposes
       of the Commitments of such Class unless the Majority Lenders making Loans
       of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification, and
       no waiver or


                                      -83-


       modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing
       Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
       Lenders making Loans of any Class in a manner that does not affect all
       Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders making Loans of
       such Class unless the Majority Lenders making Loans of such Class shall
       have concurred with such waiver or modification.

11.05  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
       the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
       permitted assigns.

11.06  ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

              Eligible Assignee; provided that: (i) no such consent by the
              Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of any
              assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of
              a Lender; (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or
              an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender or an assignment of
              the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitments,
              any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal
              to $5,000,000; and (iii) each assignment by a Lender of its
              Commitment, Loans or Note of a particular Class shall be made in
              such a manner so that the same portion of its Commitment, Loans
              and Note of such Class is assigned to the respective assignee.

              Upon execution and delivery by the assignee to the Borrower and
              the Administrative Agent of an instrument in writing pursuant to
              which such assignee agrees to become a "Lender" hereunder (if not
              already a Lender) having the Commitments and Loans specified in
              such instrument, and upon consent thereto by the Administrative
              Agent, to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to
              the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided in such
              assignment with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to the
              extent required above), the obligations, rights and benefits of a
              Lender hereunder holding the Commitments and Loans (or portions
              thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitments and Loans,
              if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning
              Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from
              the Commitments (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such
              assignment (other than such an assignment by United), the
              assigning Lender shall pay the Administrative Agent an assignment
              fee of $3,000.


                                      -84-


              In furtherance of the foregoing, on the date of any such
              assignment pursuant to this Section 11.06(b), the Borrower shall
              deliver to the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender, in
              exchange for the Notes theretofore delivered by the Borrower to
              the assigning Lender, appropriately completed Notes, dated the
              effective date of such assignment, payable to such assigning
              Lender and to such assignee, in an aggregate amount equal to their
              respective Commitments after giving effect to such assignment, and
              otherwise duly completed.

              [Intentionally omitted.]

       (c)    Participants. A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more
              other Persons a participation in all or any part of any Loan held
              by it, or in its Commitments (provided that partial participations
              shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 or the entire
              remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Loans and Commitments,
              whichever is the lesser). Each purchaser of a participation (a
              "PARTICIPANT") shall be entitled to the rights and benefits of the
              provisions of Section 8.01(m) with respect to its participation in
              such Loans and Commitments as if (and the Borrower shall be
              directly obligated to such Participant under such provision as if)
              such Participant were a "Lender" for purposes of said Section,
              but, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.07(c), shall not
              have any other rights or benefits under this Agreement or any Note
              or any other Financing Document (the Participant's rights against
              such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set out
              in the agreements executed by such Lender in favor of the
              Participant). All amounts payable by the Borrower to any Lender
              under Article V in respect of Loans and its Commitments, shall be
              determined as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any
              participations in such Loans and Commitments, and as if such
              Lender were funding each of such Loans and Commitments in the same
              way that it is funding the portion of such Loans and Commitments
              in which no participations have been sold. In no event shall a
              Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to
              take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any
              other Financing Document, except that such Lender may agree with
              the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the
              Participant, agree to: (i) increase or extend the term, or extend
              the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or
              termination, of such Lender's Commitment; (ii) extend the date
              fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related
              Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the
              Participant; (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of
              principal; (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable
              thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a
              level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to
              receive such interest or fee; (v) alter the rights or obligations
              of the Borrower to prepay the related Loans; or (vi) consent to
              any modification or waiver hereof or of any Financing Document to
              the extent that the same, under Section 10.09 or 11.04, requires
              the consent of each Lender.



                                      -85-


              Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, no Person
              purchasing a participation in accordance with the terms hereof
              shall be considered a "Lender" for any purposes of the Financing
              Documents by reason of the purchase of such participation.

       (d)    Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank. Anything in this Section 11.06
              to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may (without notice to
              the Borrower, either Agent or any other Lender, and without
              payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its
              Loans and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral
              security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
              Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such
              Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the
              assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

       (e)    Information. A Lender may furnish any information concerning the
              Borrower in the possession of such Lender from time to time to
              assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
              participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section
              11.08.

       (f)    Assignment to Borrower. Anything in this Section 11.06 to the
              contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any
              interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any
              of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.

       (g)    United. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
              11.06, United shall not assign any interest in any Commitment or
              Loan such that at any time it shall cease to own less than 50.1%
              of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans from time to time
              outstanding.

11.07  MARSHALLING; RECAPTURE. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
       Agent, or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets
       in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of
       any or all of the Secured Obligations. To the extent either Agent or any
       Lender receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, which
       payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
       fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the
       Borrower or its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party
       under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, state or Federal law, common law
       or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the
       obligation or part thereof that has been paid, reduced or satisfied by
       the amount so repaid shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and
       shall be included within the liabilities of the Borrower to such Agent or
       such Lender as of the date such initial payment, reduction or
       satisfaction occurred.

11.08  CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Lender and each Agent agrees (on behalf of itself
       and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and
       representatives) to keep confidential, any non-public information
       supplied to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement that is



                                      -86-


       identified by the Borrower as being confidential at the time the same is
       delivered to such Lender or such Agent; provided that nothing herein
       shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) to the extent
       required by any Government Rule or judicial process; provided that,
       unless prohibited by applicable Government Rules or not reasonably
       practicable: (A) notice shall be given to the Borrower of such request;
       and (B) such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, shall reasonably
       cooperate with the Borrower to the extent the Borrower may seek to
       challenge such requirement, so long as the Borrower pays all costs of
       such challenge and the disclosing party determines that such challenge
       would not adversely affect it; (ii) to counsel for any of the Lenders or
       either Agent; (iii) to banking, securities exchange or other regulatory
       or supervisory authorities, auditors or accountants; (iv) to either Agent
       or any other Lender; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
       hereunder or under any of the Financing Documents or any suit, action or
       proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document or
       the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) to the
       Independent Engineer, the Insurance Advisor or to other experts engaged
       by either Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement and the
       transactions contemplated hereby; (vii) to the extent that such
       information is required to be disclosed to a Government Authority in
       connection with a tax audit or dispute; (viii) in connection with any
       Default and any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting therefrom
       or in connection with the negotiation of any restructuring or "work-out"
       (whether or not consummated) of the obligations of the Borrower under
       this Agreement or the obligations of the Borrower, the Sponsor, the
       Operator or other Project Party under any other Transaction Document; or
       (ix) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or
       participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective
       assignee or participant) first executes and delivers to the respective
       Lender and the Borrower a confidentiality agreement pursuant to which it
       agrees to comply with the requirements of this Section 11.08.
       Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.08(b), the
       foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any such
       information that: (A) was known to any Lender or either Agent prior to
       the time it received such confidential information from the Borrower or
       its Affiliates pursuant to the Transaction Documents; or (B) becomes part
       of the public domain independently of any act of any Lender or either
       Agent not permitted hereunder (through publication or otherwise); or (C)
       is received by any Lender or either Agent, as applicable, without
       restriction as to its disclosure or use, from a Person other than the
       Borrower or its Affiliates; provided that such Lender or such Agent, as
       applicable has no actual knowledge that such source is disclosing such
       information to such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, in violation of
       a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information.

11.09  NON-RECOURSE. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any obligations
       under any Loan or upon any other obligation, covenant or agreement under
       this Agreement or any other Financing Document, against the Sponsor or
       any Affiliate thereof, any incorporator, direct or indirect stockholder,
       member, partner, officer, director, as such, whether past, present or
       future of the Sponsor or the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or of any
       successor corporation thereto (either directly or through the Sponsor or
       the Borrower or a


                                      -87-


       successor corporation) (each hereinafter, a "NON-RECOURSE PERSON"),
       whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of
       law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise. It
       is expressly agreed and understood that:

       (a)    this Agreement and each other Financing Document are solely
              limited liability company obligations of the Borrower, and that no
              personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by,
              any Non-Recourse Person, either directly or indirectly through the
              Borrower or any successor Person, because of the indebtedness
              thereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the
              obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
              or any of the Financing Documents or to be implied herefrom or
              therefrom; and

       (b)    any claim of or relating to such personal liability is hereby
              expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of
              the consideration for, the execution of this Agreement and each
              other Financing Document.

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.09 shall impair
       or in any way limit any liabilities or obligations of: (i) the Sponsor
       under or pursuant to its obligations as set forth in the Borrower Equity
       Interest Pledge; or (ii) any Non-Recourse Party for fraud or willful
       misconduct.

11.10  SURVIVAL. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.06
       and 11.03, the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.05 and the
       obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under the penultimate
       sentence of Section 10.08 and under Section 11.08 shall survive after the
       Termination Date. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or
       deemed to be made by a notice of any Disbursement, herein or pursuant
       hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and
       no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any
       Disbursement hereunder, any Default that may arise by reason of such
       representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading,
       notwithstanding that such Lender or either Agent may have had notice or
       knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was
       false or misleading at the time such Disbursement was made.

11.11  COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be executed
       in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall
       constitute one and the same instrument and any party hereto may execute
       this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement and the
       other Financing Documents constitute the entire agreement and
       understanding among the parties hereto with respect to matters covered by
       this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and supersede any and
       all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the
       subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective at such time
       as the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
       signed by all of the intended parties hereto.

11.12  NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES IN RELATION TO DISBURSEMENTS. THE AGREEMENT
       OF THE LENDERS TO MAKE THE LOANS TO THE


                                      -88-


       BORROWER, ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT, ARE
       SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BORROWER, AND NO OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING
       ANY AFFILIATE OF THE BORROWER, OR ANY PROJECT PARTY, CONTRACTOR,
       SUBCONTRACTOR, SUPPLIER, WORKMAN, CARRIER, WAREHOUSEMAN OR MATERIALMAN
       FURNISHING LABOR, SUPPLIES, GOODS OR SERVICES TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF
       ANY PROJECT) SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER FINANCING
       DOCUMENT AS AGAINST EITHER AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY
       EXTENSION OF CREDIT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.13  GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION, ETC. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
       NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF
       THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE
       NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
       SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN
       NEW YORK COUNTY (INCLUDING ANY APPELLATE DIVISION THEREOF), AND OF ANY
       OTHER APPELLATE COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ALL
       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
       TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (OTHER THAN ENFORCEMENT OF THE DEED OF
       TRUST). EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
       PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
       HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A
       COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS
       BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

11.14  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND EACH OF THE
       LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
       APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
       PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
       TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.15  SPECIAL EXCULPATION. NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY THE BORROWER, ANY OF ITS
       AFFILIATES, ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AFFILIATES, SHAREHOLDERS,
       DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS OF ANY OF THEM
       AGAINST EITHER AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE AFFILIATES, SHAREHOLDERS,
       DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS OF ANY OF THEM FOR
       ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR
       DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER
       THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
       OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
       THEREBY, OR ANY ACT,


                                      -89-


       OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND THE BORROWER
       HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH
       DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO
       EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

11.16  SERVICE OF PROCESS. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the
       service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in such courts by
       the mailing thereof by any of the other parties hereto by registered or
       certified mail, postage prepaid, to the "Address for Notices" specified
       below its name on the signature pages hereof.

11.17  SERVICE OF PROCESS. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit
       the ability of any party hereto to serve any writs, process or summonses
       in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction

11.18  SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Financing
       Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any particular
       jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
       of that prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
       remaining provisions of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents,
       and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any particular
       jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable that provision
       in any other jurisdiction.

                              ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS

PART A - ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS:

On November 12, 2002, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued
a "Notice to Comply" as a result of an inspection of the Projects conducted on
October 23, 2002. Three (3) non-Compliance issues with the Ormesa Waste
Discharge Requirements were noted, as listed below (the status of each is
included as a parenthetical statement at the end):

1. Ormesa Geothermal I (West Cooling Tower) - West Wall of the concrete basin
has substantial cracking and appears to be falling apart. Repairs to the
concrete basin are required to be completed by February 15, 2003. (The contract
to repair the wall is about to be let for completion of the repairs before the
required date.)

2. Cooling Tower Basin solids - Piles of solids from cleanout of cooling tower
basins were noted at well pads 16-30, 15-32, 18-5, and the containment basin
west of OGIH. Proper disposal of these solids is required before December 31,
2002. (Samples have been collected and tested, and authorization to dispose has
been received from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. However,
written authorization from the Imperial County Health Department has not yet
been received. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has agreed to
extend the required disposal date because of the delay in receiving the written
authorization from the Imperial County Health Department to dispose of the
wastes.)

3. North Wall of pond at GEM 2&3 - Staff noted an area in need of repair to
liner and concrete in the upper wall on the north side. Repairs to the liner and
concrete are required before November 30, 2002. (Repairs were completed on
November 25, 2002.)

PART B - THREATENED ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS:

FPL Energy Operating Services, Inc. (FPLE) received a letter, dated August
1, 2000, from the Imperial County District Attorney's office indicating that a
request to initiate legal action regarding the handling of the Ormesa IE Project
cooling tower fill and wood debris waste in June and July of 1999 had been filed
by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and
suggested that FPLE schedule an appointment to discuss any additional
information FPLE may want to submit. Two meetings were held between the District
Attorney's office and FPLE, and FPLE believes that the BLM and the Imperial
County District Attorney's office no longer intends to pursue the matter,
although no specific resolution to the matter was documented.

PART C - HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:



Cotton-wound steel-core filters were historically used by the Ormesa I, Ormesa
II, Ormesa IE and Ormesa IH projects since the commencement of operation (in
December of 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989, respectively) to remove fine sand,
produced from the geothermal fluid production wells, from the geothermal fluid
prior to injection into the geothermal fluid injection wells. Waste injection
filters were routinely disposed of off-site as common, non-hazardous industrial
waste in a local municipal waste landfill. In late 1992, a sample of the
injection filters was tested and determined to be a California (non-RCRA)
hazardous waste because of the concentrations of some heavy metals, which
normally occur only in low concentrations in the East Mesa geothermal fluids
used by these Ormesa Geothermal projects. All litigation concerning this issue
was settled prior to the acquisition of the East Mesa projects by FPLE (in 1994
the projects settled with the Imperial County District Attorney; the California
Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substance Control; and the
California Regional Water Quality Board, Colorado River Basin Region, and in
1996 the projects settled with the local municipal waste landfill into which the
filters were disposed). These Ormesa Geothermal have not used filters to remove
sand from the geothermal injection fluid prior to injection since late 1992.
None of the waste geothermal fluid injection filters were disposed of on-site.

                       UPGRADE ACCEPTANCE TEST PARAMETERS

These parameters are to outline the methods to be used to update the report of
the Independent Engineer that was delivered on the Closing Date, which update
shall be delivered pursuant to Schedule 6.2(g) of the Credit Agreement.

The Upgrade Acceptance Test is to demonstrate that the Projects are collectively
capable of generating net energy sales of 445,000 MWh per year. The Upgrade
Acceptance Test is to be conducted over a continuous period of 168 hours (7
days) with all Project systems in normal operating configurations for
continuous, long-term operation with a normal complement of operating personnel.
Criterion for successful completion of the Upgrade Acceptance Test shall be that
during the 168-hour period the Project generate 8,535 MWh for sale to SCE,
corrected for ambient conditions and net of all Project auxiliary loads and line
losses. A detailed Upgrade Acceptance Test protocol, including appropriate
ambient correction factors, measurement points, etc., is to be developed by
the Borrower and approved by the Independent Engineer within 30 days prior to
commencement of the test.

     receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the
     Collateral;

          (g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
     Default, upon request of the Collateral Agent, promptly notify (and the
     Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent so to notify) each account
     debtor in respect of any Accounts Receivable or Instruments that such
     Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and that
     any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral are to be
     made directly to the Collateral Agent, with a copy of such notice to the
     Collateral Agent;

          (h) furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time (but, unless any
     Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no more frequently
     than annually) statements and schedules further identifying and describing
     the Copyright Collateral, the Patent Collateral and the Trademark
     Collateral, respectively, and such other reports in connection with the
     Copyright Collateral, the Patent Collateral and the Trademark Collateral as
     the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail;

          (i) promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent, following receipt
     by the Collateral Agent of any statements, schedules or reports pursuant to
     clause (h) above, modify this Agreement by amending Annexes 2, 3 and/or 4,
     as the case may be, to include any Copyright, Patent or Trademark that
     becomes part of the Collateral under this Agreement, and deliver any such
     amended Annexes to the Collateral Agent;

          (j) for each deposit account (including, without limitation, the
     Accounts) that the Borrower, now or at any time hereafter, opens or
     maintains, at the Collateral Agent's request and option, pursuant to an
     agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
     Agent, either (a) cause the bank to agree to comply, without further
     consent of the Borrower, at any time with instructions from the Collateral
     Agent to such bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time
     credited to such deposit account, or (b) arrange for the Collateral Agent
     to become the customer of the bank with respect to the deposit account,
     with the Borrower being permitted, only with the consent of the Collateral
     Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit account;
     provided, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (i) a deposit
     account for which the Collateral Agent is the bank and is in automatic
     control, and (ii) any deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for
     payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or
     for the benefit of the Borrower's salaried employees. To the extent that
     the Borrower shall have any cash, funds or sums of money in its possession
     constituting Project Revenues, all such cash, funds or sums of money shall
     be paid directly to the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank for deposit
     into the appropriate Account in accordance with the terms of the Credit
     Agreement and the Depositary Agreement;

          (k) if any Collateral is, now or at any time hereafter, in the
     possession of a bailee, promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and,
     at the Collateral Agent's request and option, promptly obtain an
     acknowledgement from the bailee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
     Collateral Agent, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of
     the Collateral Agent and such bailee's agreement to comply, without further
     consent of the Borrower, at any time with instructions of the Collateral
     Agent as to such Collateral;

          (l) if the Borrower, now or at any time hereafter, holds or acquires
     an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any "transferable record,"
     as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures
     in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform

                           Borrower Security Agreement



                                       -9-


     Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction,
     promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and option
     of the Collateral Agent, take such action as the Collateral Agent may
     reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control, under Section
     9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code, of such electronic chattel paper or
     control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global
     and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform
     Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such
     transferable record; provided that the Collateral Agent and the Secured
     Parties agree that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to
     procedures satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such
     procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent's loss of control, for
     the Borrower to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or
     transferable record permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code or, as the
     case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
     National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions
     Act, for a party in control to make without loss of control, unless an
     Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking
     into account any action by the Borrower with respect to such electronic
     chattel paper or transferable record;

          (m) if the Borrower is, now or at any time hereafter, a beneficiary
     under a letter of credit with a face value in excess of $250,000, promptly
     notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the
     Collateral Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably
     satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (a) arrange for the issuer and
     any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
     Collateral Agent of the proceeds of the letter of credit, or (b) arrange
     for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter
     of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the
     proceeds of the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in the
     Credit Agreement; and

          (n) take any and all other actions as the Collateral Agent may
     reasonably determine to be necessary or useful for the attachment,
     perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent
     to enforce, the Collateral Agent's security interest in any and all of the
     Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) complying with any provision
     of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any
     Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment,
     perfection or priority of, or ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce,
     the Collateral Agent's security interest in such Collateral, (ii) obtaining
     governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals, in form
     and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including,
     without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person
     obligated on Collateral, (iii) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and
     landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
     Agent, and (iv) taking all actions under any earlier versions of the
     Uniform Commercial Code or under any other law, as reasonably determined by
     the Collateral Agent to be applicable under the Uniform Commercial Code or
     in any other jurisdiction, including any foreign jurisdiction.

     4.02 OTHER FINANCING STATEMENTS AND LIENS. Except for Permitted Liens,
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall
not file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on
file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with
respect to the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent is not named as the sole
secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

     4.03 PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to
take any steps to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the
Collateral.

     4.04 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CERTAIN COLLATERAL.

                           Borrower Security Agreement



                                      -10-


          (a) Adverse Claims. The Borrower shall defend, all at its own cost and
     expense, the Borrower's title and the existence, perfection and first
     priority (subject to any Permitted Liens) of the Collateral Agent's
     security interest in the Collateral against all adverse claims.

          (b) Distributions to Collateral Agent. If any Event of Default shall
     have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Collateral Agent or
     any other Secured Party exercises any available right to declare any
     Secured Obligation due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or
     remedy available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement or any
     other Transaction Document or any other agreement relating to such Secured
     Obligation, all distributions on and other payments in respect of the
     Collateral shall be paid directly to the Collateral Agent and retained by
     it as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and,
     if the Collateral Agent shall so request, the Borrower agrees to execute
     and deliver to the Collateral Agent appropriate additional distribution and
     other orders and documents to that end; provided, that if such Event of
     Default is waived or cured, any such distribution or other payment
     theretofore paid to the Collateral Agent shall, upon request of the
     Borrower (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Secured
     Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement), be returned by the
     Collateral Agent to the Borrower.

          (c) Assigned Agreements.

               (i)  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
                    Borrower shall remain liable to perform all of its duties
                    and obligations under each of the Assigned Agreements and in
                    respect of the Collateral to the same extent as if this
                    Agreement had not been executed. The exercise by the
                    Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any of the
                    rights and remedies hereunder shall not release the Borrower
                    from any of its duties or obligations under any of the
                    Assigned Agreements or in respect of the Collateral. Neither
                    the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Parry shall have
                    any obligation or liability under any of the Assigned
                    Agreements or otherwise in respect of the Collateral by
                    reason of this Agreement or be obligated to perform any of
                    the obligations or duties of the Borrower under any of the
                    Assigned Agreements or otherwise in respect of the
                    Collateral or to take any action to collect or enforce any
                    claim for payment or any other right assigned hereunder.

               (ii) If the Borrower fails to perform any agreement contained
                    herein or in any of the Assigned Agreements, the Collateral
                    Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) cause the
                    performance of such agreement, subject to the rules and
                    regulations of the BLM, and the reasonable fees, costs and
                    expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
                    of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith
                    shall, in accordance with Section 4.15, be payable by or on
                    behalf of the Borrower and shall be Secured Obligations to
                    the Collateral Agent secured under Article III.

          (d) Motor Vehicles. At any time after the occurrence and during the
     continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall, upon the request of
     the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent originals of the
     certificates of title or ownership for the Motor Vehicles owned by it with
     the Collateral Agent listed as lienholder and take such other action as the
     Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or desirable to perfect
     the security interest created hereunder in all such Motor Vehicles.

                                      -11-


          (e) Intellectual Property.

               (i)  For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise
                    rights and remedies under Section 4.07 at such time as the
                    Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such
                    rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, the Borrower
                    hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent
                    assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
                    (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
                    compensation to the Borrower) to use, assign, license or
                    sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or
                    hereafter acquired by the Borrower, wherever the same may be
                    located, including in such license reasonable access to all
                    media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or
                    stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation
                    or printout thereof.

               (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
                    but subject to the provisions of Section 8.12 of the Credit
                    Agreement that limit the rights of the Borrower to dispose
                    of its property, so long as no Event of Default shall have
                    occurred and be continuing, the Borrower will be permitted
                    to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense,
                    assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect
                    to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the
                    business of the Borrower. In furtherance of the foregoing,
                    unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                    continuing the Collateral Agent shall from time to time,
                    upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the
                    Borrower, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates
                    or other documents, in the form so requested, that the
                    Borrower shall have certified are appropriate (in its
                    judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above
                    (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant
                    to clause (i) immediately above as to any specific
                    Intellectual Property). Further, upon the Termination Date,
                    the Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Borrower the
                    license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above.
                    The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 4.07 by
                    the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the
                    holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted
                    by the Borrower in accordance with the first sentence of
                    this clause (ii).

     4.05 CUSTODY AND PRESERVATION. The Collateral Agent's obligation to use
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral shall be satisfied
if it uses the same care as it uses in the custody and preservation of its own
Property.

     4.06 RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTIES. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party may (but shall not be obligated to) pay or secure payment of any Tax or
other claim that may be secured by or result in a Lien on any Collateral. The
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to)
do or cause to be done any other thing that is necessary or desirable to
preserve, protect or maintain the Collateral or, after an Event of Default has
occurred and for so long as it shall be continuing, to enhance its value. The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Person to act or refrain from
acting or exercising any of its rights under this Agreement; provided, however,
that anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Collateral
Agent shall be liable for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The

                           Borrower Security Agreement



                                      -12-


Borrower, in accordance with Section 4.15, shall immediately reimburse the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any reasonable payment or
expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) that the Collateral
Agent or such other Secured Party may incur pursuant to this Section 4.06.

     4.07 EVENTS OF DEFAULT ETC. During the period during which an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

          (a) the Collateral Agent shall have the rights and remedies with
     respect to this Agreement as more particularly provided herein or in the
     Credit Agreement;

          (b) the Borrower shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent,
     assemble Collateral owned by it that is movable (and not otherwise in the
     possession of the Collateral Agent), if any, at such place or places,
     reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, as
     designated in such request;

          (c) subject to applicable law and to the extent permitted by the BLM,
     the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), without notice to
     the Borrower and at such times as the Collateral Agent in its sole judgment
     may determine, exercise any or all of the Borrower's rights in, to and
     under, or in any way connected to the Collateral and the Collateral Agent
     shall otherwise have and may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise all
     of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies with respect to the
     Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or
     not said Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights, powers,
     privileges and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights, powers,
     privileges and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws
     in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers, privileges and
     remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the
     right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all
     voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the
     Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner
     thereof (and the Borrower agrees to take all such action as may be
     appropriate to give effect to such right);

          (d) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make any
     reasonable compromise or settlement it reasonably deems desirable with
     respect to any of the Collateral and may (but shall not be obligated to)
     extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or
     otherwise modify the terms, of all or any part of the Collateral;

          (e) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in its
     name or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect
     or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on
     account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral; and

          (f) subject to applicable law and to the extent permitted by the BLM,
     the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), upon 10 Business
     Days' prior written notice to the Borrower of the time and place, with
     respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall
     thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Collateral
     Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective agents, sell,
     lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral,
     at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems reasonable, and for
     cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any
     credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or
     notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place
     thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute
     and cannot be waived). The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or
     anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or
     all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the maximum
     extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale) and thereafter
     hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever

                           Borrower Security Agreement



                                      -13-


     kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise),
     of the Borrower, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby
     expressly waived and released to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
     law. Subject to applicable law and to the extent permitted by the BLM, the
     Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
     private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
     announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be
     made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section
4.07 shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.11.

     The Borrower recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained
in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws,
the Collateral Agent may be compelled, subject to the notice provision as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 4.07, with respect to any sale of all
or any part of the Collateral constituting a security (as such term is defined
in the Securities Act of 1933), to limit purchasers to those who will agree,
among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The
Borrower acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms
less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public
sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, 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 Collateral for
the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower or the issuer thereof to
register it for public sale.

     4.08 DEFICIENCY. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization
of or upon the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section
4.07 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and
the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall
retain all rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, and the Borrower
shall remain liable, with respect to any deficiency to the extent the Borrower
is obligated under this Agreement.

     4.09 REMOVALS, ETC. Without at least 30 days' prior written notice to the
Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall not: (a) maintain any of its Records at any
office, or permit any Inventory, Equipment or assets of the Projects to be
located anywhere, other than at the Borrower's Address for Notices set out
beneath its name on the signature pages hereto or at one of the locations
identified in Annex 6 or in transit from one of such locations to another; (b)
maintain its chief executive office at any place other than at the Borrower's
Address for Notices set out beneath its name on the signature pages hereto; (c)
change its corporate name, or the name under which it does business, from the
name shown on the signature pages hereto; or (d) change the jurisdiction in
which it is organized from that in which it is organized on the date hereof. The
signature page hereto correctly specifies the place of business of the Borrower
or, if the Borrower had more than one place of business, the location of the
chief executive office of the Borrower, in each case during the period of four
months ending on December 31, 2002.

     4.10 PRIVATE SALE. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall
incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.07 conducted in a
commercially reasonable manner. Subject to and without limitation of the
preceding sentence, the Borrower hereby waives any claims against the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at
which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale to an unrelated
third party was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public
sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if
the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree.

     4.11 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.

          (a) Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly
     provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all
     or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the
     time held by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, shall be applied by
     the Depositary Bank at the direction of the Collateral Agent to the Secured
     Obligations in accordance with Article IV of the Depositary Agreement.

          (b) Borrower Remains Obligated. No sale or other disposition of all or
     any part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.07 shall be deemed to
     relieve the Borrower of its obligations under any Transaction Document to
     which it is a party except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied
     to the payment of such obligations.

          (c) Proceeds. As used in this Article IV, "PROCEEDS" of Collateral
     means cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and
     distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received under
     any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Borrower or
     any issuer of or obligor on any of the Collateral.

     4.12 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by
this Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the
Borrower for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Article IV and
taking any action and executing any instruments which the Collateral Agent may
deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment
as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled under this Article IV to make collections in respect of the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive,
endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Borrower
representing any payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or
any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

     4.13 PERFECTION. Prior to or on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall: (a)
file such financing statements and other documents in the offices set out on
Annex 8 in order to perfect the security interests granted by Article III to the
extent such security interests may be perfected by such filings; (b) cause the
Collateral Agent (to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent) to be listed
as the lienholder on all certificates of title or ownership relating to Motor
Vehicles owned by the Borrower; and (c) stamp or mark the books of the Borrower
to record the Liens granted hereunder. Copies of any such financing statement or
amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to the Collateral Agent. The
Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to cause the filing of one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to
all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower where
permitted by applicable law. Copies of any such statement or amendment thereto
shall promptly be delivered to the Borrower.

     4.14 TERMINATION.

          (a) Upon any distribution or transfer of any Collateral in accordance
     with Section 8.12 or 8.13 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent
     shall, upon the written request of (and at the sole cost and expense of)
     the Borrower, promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower such Uniform
     Commercial Code termination statements and such other documentation as
     shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence the termination
     and release of the Liens on such Collateral.

          (b) Upon the Termination Date, the security interest created by this
     Agreement shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
     the Borrower, and the Collateral Agent shall (at the written request and
     sole cost and expense of the Borrower) promptly cause to be transferred and
     delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or
     representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in
     respect thereof, to or on the order of the Borrower and to be released and
     cancelled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 4.04. The
     Collateral Agent shall also (at the written request and sole cost and
     expense of the Borrower) promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower upon
     such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements,
     certificates for terminating the Liens on the Motor Vehicles and such other
     documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower to effect
     the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral. Without
     limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall,
     within 30 days of its receipt of a request from the Borrower at any time
     following the Termination Date, and at the expense of the Borrower, (i) pay
     to the Borrower or deposit into a deposit account in the Borrower's name
     the balance on deposit in any Account that is a deposit account, (ii) send
     to the Depositary Bank an authenticated statement that releases the
     Depositary Bank from any further obligation to comply with entitlement
     orders originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to any Account that
     is a securities account, (iii) communicate the authoritative copy of any
     electronic chattel paper constituting part of the Collateral to the
     Borrower or its designated custodian, (iv) send to each Person having an
     unfulfilled obligation to pay or deliver to the Collateral Agent proceeds
     arising from any letter of credit right constituting Collateral an
     authenticated release from any further obligation to pay or deliver to the
     Collateral Agent proceeds arising from any such letter of credit right, and
     (v) execute and deliver to the Borrower statements terminating any Consent
     and Agreement then in effect.

     4.15 EXPENSES.

          (a) Subject to, and without duplication of amounts described in,
     Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower agrees promptly to pay
     to the Collateral Agent all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses
     (including reasonable fees and expenses for legal services) of, or incident
     to, the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Article IV, or the
     exercise by experts, agents or attorneys selected by the Collateral Agent
     in good faith of any rights or privileges of the Borrower in respect of the
     Collateral, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement,
     collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral,
     and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and
     claims of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties in respect
     thereof, by litigation or otherwise, in each case in accordance with the
     terms of this Agreement, and all such reasonable fees and expenses,
     together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate, shall
     be Secured Obligations of the Collateral Agent secured under Article III.

          (b) The terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or
     performed by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be observed or
     performed by it at its sole cost and expense.

     4.16 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Borrower agrees that, at any time and from
time to time, at its sole cost and expense, it shall promptly execute and
deliver all further agreements, instruments, documents and certificates and take
all further action that, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, may
be necessary or desirable in order to fully effect the purposes of this
Agreement (including the delivery of possession of any Collateral that hereafter
comes into existence or is acquired in the future by the Collateral Agent as
pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to enable the Collateral
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof.

     4.17 RELEASE OF MOTOR VEHICLES. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, at the written request and, in accordance with
Section 4.15, sole cost and expense of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall
execute and deliver to the Borrower such instruments as the Borrower shall
reasonably request to remove the notation of the Collateral Agent as lienholder
on any certificate of title for any Motor Vehicle; provided, that any such
instruments shall be delivered, and the release shall be effective, only upon
receipt by the Collateral Agent of a certificate from the Borrower stating that
the Motor Vehicle the lien on which is to be released is to be sold or has
suffered a casualty loss (with title thereto passing to the casualty insurance
company therefor in settlement of the claim for such loss) and that the sale or
casualty proceeds thereon shall first have been delivered to the Collateral
Agent.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     5.01 COLLATERAL AGENT'S RIGHT TO PERFORM ON BORROWER'S BEHALF. If the
Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any of the terms, conditions,
covenants and agreements to be observed or performed by it under this Agreement,
the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), upon reasonable notice
to the Borrower, do the same or cause it to be done or performed or observed by
experts, agents or attorneys selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith at
the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, either in its name or in the name and
on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral
Agent so to do.

     5.02 WAIVERS OF RIGHTS INHIBITING ENFORCEMENT. The Borrower waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

          (a) any claim that, as to any part of the Collateral, a public sale,
     should the Collateral Agent elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself, not
     a commercially reasonable method of sale for the Collateral;

          (b) the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the
     Collateral Agent any offsets that it may have;

          (c) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL
     HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENTS TAKING POSSESSION OR
     DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND
     HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT THE
     BORROWER WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE
     UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, AND ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS AS TO THE TIME,
     PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE
     ENFORCEMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S RIGHTS HEREUNDER;

          (d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay and
     extension or moratorium; and

          (e) all other rights the exercise of which would, directly or
     indirectly, prevent, delay or inhibit the enforcement of any of the rights
     or remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under
     this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral, now or hereafter in
     force under any applicable law, and the Borrower, for itself and all who
     may claim under it,

                          Borrower Security Agreement



                                      -17-


     insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waive the
     benefit of all such laws and rights.

     5.03 NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure on the part of the
Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of such Person's agents to
exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to,
any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No
single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or
any of such Person's agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other
Transaction Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, powers or remedies which either Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case
shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of either Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand, except to the extent notice is expressly
required by this Agreement or any other Financing Document.

     5.04 NOTICES. All notices, requests and other communications provided for
herein (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers or
consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing in the manner
set out in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement Unless otherwise so changed in
accordance with the Credit Agreement by a party hereto, all notices, requests
and other communications to such party shall be sent to the address of such
party set out on the signature pages hereto.

     5.05 AMENDMENTS, ETC. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified
or waived only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Borrower and the
Collateral Agent. Any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall
be binding upon the Collateral Agent and each Lender, each holder of any of the
Secured Obligations and the Borrower. Any waiver shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specified purpose for which it was given.

     5.06 EXPENSES. The parties hereto agree that all costs and expenses covered
by Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be Secured Obligations entitled
to the benefits of the collateral security provided pursuant to Article III.

     5.07 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall: (a) remain in full force
and effect until the termination hereof pursuant to Section 4.14; and (b) be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted
assigns of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and each holder of
any of the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not
assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.

     5.08 SURVIVAL, ETC. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 4.15
shall survive after termination of this Agreement or the resignation or the
removal of the Collateral Agent. In addition, the representations and warranties
of the Borrower set out in this Agreement or contained in any documents
delivered to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party pursuant to this
Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties in
entering into the Credit Agreement and the relevant Financing Documents and
making each Loan, notwithstanding any investigation on their respective parts.

     5.09 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one
and the same instrument and either of the parties hereto may execute this
Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement and the other
Financing Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to matters covered by this Agreement and the other
Financing Documents and supersede any and all

                                      -18-


prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject
matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective at such time as the
Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the
intended parties hereto.

     5.10 AGENTS, ETC. The Collateral Agent may employ agents, experts and
attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any such agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it in good faith.

     5.11 SEVERABILITY. If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a)
the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such
jurisdiction in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as
nearly as may be possible; and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of
this Agreement.

     5.13 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT NOR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY SHALL HAVE

     DEPRECIATION OR OTHER DIMINUTION IN THE VALUE OF ANY COLLATERAL, THAT MAY
     OCCUR AS A RESULT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO,
     ANY EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR ANY
     SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, DEPRECIATION OR DIMINUTION TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME
     IS THE RESULT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS ON THE PART OF SUCH SECURED PARTY
     CONSTITUTING WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE; OR

          (b) ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL
     DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM RELATED TO
     THIS AGREEMENT.

     5.14 SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law and subject to the rules and regulations of the BLM, the rights
and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Liens created hereby, and
the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are absolute, irrevocable
and unconditional and will remain in full force and effect without regard to,

     or supplement to or deletion from, any of the Transaction Documents or any

     of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Secured
     Obligations,

     this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any such other instrument
     or agreement relating thereto;

          (c) any furnishing of any additional security for the Secured
     Obligations or any part thereof to the Collateral Agent or any other person
     or any acceptance thereof by the Collateral Agent or any other person or
     any substitution, sale, exchange, release, surrender or realization of or
     upon any such security by the Collateral Agent or any other person or the
     failure to create, preserve, validate, perfect or protect any other Lien
     granted to, or purported to be granted to, or in favor of, the Collateral
     Agent or any other Secured Party;

          (d) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any

          (e) the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations
     or any other modification of the time of payment thereof; or

          (f) any other event or circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
     constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor, it
     being the intent of this Section 5.14 that the obligations of the Borrower
     hereunder shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and
     all circumstances.

     5.15 REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement and the Lien created hereunder shall
automatically be reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment
by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Secured Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of the Secured
Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or
reorganization or otherwise, and the Borrower shall indemnify the Collateral
Agent, each other Secured Party and its respective employees, officers and
agents on demand for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel) incurred by the

have been duly made or taken (other than any such filings or other actions
permitted to be made or taken after the Closing Date in accordance with this
Agreement and the other Financing Documents).

correctly identifies, as at the date hereof, the registered owner of such

comprising such Pledged Interests.

                                Pledge Agreement

corporate power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations
thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of each of
the Transaction Documents to which it is or is intended to be a party and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on its part. Each of the Transaction Documents
to which the Pledgor is a party has been duly executed and delivered by or on
behalf of the Pledgor and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by, (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally; and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).

     2.07 NO CONSENT, BREACH, ETC. The execution, delivery and performance by
the Pledgor of each Transaction Document to which it is or is intended to be a
party do not and will not: (a) require any consent or approval of any Person

obtained is in full force and effect; (b) violate any Government Rule or
Government Approval applicable to it; (c) conflict with, result in a breach of
or constitute a default under (A) its Charter Documents or any corporate action,

affected in any material respect; or (d) result in, or create any Lien (other
than a Permitted Lien) upon or with respect to any of the Collateral now owned
or hereafter acquired by the Pledgor. The Pledgor is not in violation of any
Government Rule or Government Approval applicable to it or any of its
Properties, except where such violation could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Pledgor is not in breach of or default
under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or
instrument referred to in clause (c) of this Section 2.08, except such breaches
or defaults that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

necessary under Government Rules for it to own its Properties and conduct its
business, and no Government Approval by, and no filing (other than the filing

each other Transaction Document to which it is a party or the validity and
enforceability of such obligations.

equity or by or before any Government Authority, arbitral tribunal or other body
now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Pledgor, threatened against or
affecting the Pledgor or its Property, that could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     2.10 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. The Pledgor is not an "investment company" or
a company "controlled" by an "investment company" or an "investment advisor",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     2.11 REGULATION OF PLEDGOR. The Pledgor is not, and is not subject to
regulation as, a "public-utility company", an "electric utility company", a

     2.12 TAXES. The Pledgor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns
that are required by applicable law to be filed, and has paid all Taxes shown to
be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any
of its Property and all other Taxes, imposed on it by any Government Authority

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Liens for Taxes (other than

are being asserted against the Pledgor or any of its Property with respect to
any Taxes.

                                    ARTICLE V

                          CERTAIN ASSURANCES; REMEDIES

     In furtherance of the grant of the pledge and security interest pursuant to
Article III, the Pledgor agrees with each Secured Party as follows:

     5.01 DELIVERY AND OTHER PERFECTION. The Pledgor shall:

     (a)  if any of the Pledged Interests, other Collateral, securities,
          participations, interests, moneys or other Property required to be
          pledged by the Pledgor under Article III is received by the Pledgor,
          forthwith: (i) transfer and deliver to the Collateral Agent for the
          benefit of the Secured Parties, such Collateral so received by the
          Pledgor, all of which thereafter shall be held by the Collateral
          Agent, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as part of the
          Collateral; and/or (ii) take such other action as the Collateral Agent
          shall deem necessary or appropriate to duly record the Lien created
          hereunder in such Collateral;

                                Pledge Agreement



     (b)  give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any Uniform Commercial Code
          financing statement, continuation statement, notice, instrument,
          document, agreement or other papers mat may be necessary or desirable
          (in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent): (i) to create,
          preserve, perfect or validate the pledge and security interest granted
          pursuant hereto; or (ii) to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise
          and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and
          security interest, including, without limitation, upon the occurrence
          or during the continuation of an Event of Default, causing any or all
          of the Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of the
          Collateral Agent or its nominee (and the Collateral Agent agrees that
          if any Collateral is transferred into its name or the name of its
          nominee, the Collateral Agent will thereafter promptly give to the
          Pledgor copies of any notices and communications received by it with
          respect to the Collateral pledged by the Pledgor hereunder). Without
          limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor shall, if any
          Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other
          instrument, deliver and pledge to the Collateral Agent such note or
          instrument duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments
          of transfer or assignment, all in such form and substance as will
          allow the Collateral Agent to realize upon the Collateral pursuant to
          Section 5.07;

     (c)  keep full and accurate Records, and stamp or otherwise mark such
          Records in such manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require
          in order to reflect the pledge and security interest granted by this
          Agreement; and

     (d)  (i) upon reasonable prior notice, at any time during normal business
          hours, permit representatives of the Collateral Agent to inspect and
          make abstracts from the Records, and promptly forward to the
          Collateral Agent copies of any notices or communications received by
          the Pledgor with respect to the Collateral that could reasonably be
          expected to impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder;
          and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
          of Default, permit representatives of the Collateral Agent to be
          present at the Pledgor's place of business to receive copies of all
          communications and remittances relating to the Collateral.

     5.02 OTHER FINANCING STATEMENTS AND LIENS. Except for Permitted Liens,
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall not
file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on
file, in any jurisdiction, any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or
like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent is
not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

     5.03 PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to
take any steps to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the
Collateral.

     5.04 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CERTAIN COLLATERAL.

     (a)  Ownership Collateral. Except as otherwise permitted hereunder or
          pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor shall cause the
          Ownership Collateral to constitute at all times 100% of the membership
          or other ownership interests of any class or character of the Borrower
          then outstanding. Until the termination of the pledge and the security
          interest created hereby pursuant to Section 5.14, the Pledgor shall
          not enter into any voting trust, grant any proxies or enter into any
          other commitment, understanding or arrangement with respect to the
          Ownership Collateral (including without limitation the ability to
          vote, transfer or receive dividends in respect of, the Ownership
          Collateral), except for the pledge and security interest in favor of
          the Collateral Agent provided for herein.

                                Pledge Agreement



     (b)  Powers of Ownership. So long as no Event of Default shall have
          occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor shall have the right to
          exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership
          pertaining to the Ownership Collateral for all purposes not
          inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement,
          any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or agreement
          referred to herein or therein; provided, that the Pledgor agrees that
          it will not vote the Ownership Collateral in any manner that is
          inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement,
          any other Transaction Document or any such other instrument or
          agreement; and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the
          Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to the Pledgor, all
          such proxies (if the Ownership Collateral shall be registered in the
          name of the Collateral Agent), powers of attorney, dividend and other
          orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as the Pledgor may
          reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise
          the rights and powers that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this
          Section 5.04(b).

     (c)  Restricted Payments. Without limiting Section 4.07, the Pledgor shall
          not receive or retain any dividends or distributions on the Ownership
          Collateral except to the extent permitted under Section 8.13 of the
          Credit Agreement.

     (d)  Adverse Claims. The Pledgor shall defend, all at its own cost and
          expense, the Pledgor's title and the existence, perfection and first
          priority (subject to any Permitted Liens) of the Collateral Agent's
          security interest in the Collateral against all adverse claims.

     (e)  Distributions to Collateral Agent. If any Event of Default shall have
          occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Collateral Agent or
          any other Secured Party exercises any available right to declare any
          Secured Obligation due and payable or seeks or pursues any other
          relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this
          Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement
          relating to such Secured Obligation, the Pledgor shall direct that all
          distributions on and other payments in respect of the Collateral shall
          be paid directly to the Collateral Agent and retained by it as part of
          the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if the
          Collateral Agent shall so request, the Pledgor agrees to execute and
          deliver to the Collateral Agent appropriate additional distribution
          and other orders and documents to that end; provided, that if such
          Event of Default is waived or cured, any such distribution or other
          payment theretofore paid to the Collateral Agent shall, upon request
          of the Pledgor (except to the extent theretofore applied to the
          discharge of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit
          Agreement), be returned promptly by the Collateral Agent to the
          Pledgor.

     5.05 CUSTODY AND PRESERVATION. The Collateral Agent's obligation to use
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral shall be satisfied
if it uses the same care as it uses in the custody and preservation of its own
Property.

     5.06 RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTIES. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party may (but shall not be obligated to) pay or secure payment of any Tax or
other claim that may be secured by or result in a Lien on any Collateral. The
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to)
do or cause to be done any other thing that is necessary or desirable to
preserve, protect or maintain the Collateral or, after an Event of Default has
occurred and for so long as it shall be continuing, to enhance its value. The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Person to act or refrain from
acting or exercising any of its rights under this Agreement; provided, however,
that anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Collateral
Agent shall be liable for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Pledgor, in accordance with Section 5.15, shall immediately reimburse the
Collateral Agent or any other

                                Pledge Agreement



Secured Party for any reasonable payment or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured
Party may incur pursuant to this Section 5.06.

     5.07 EVENTS OF DEFAULT, ETC. During the period during which an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

     (a)  the Collateral Agent shall have the rights and remedies with respect
          to this Agreement as more particularly provided herein or in the
          Credit Agreement;

     (b)  the Pledgor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, assemble
          Collateral owned by it that is movable (and not otherwise in the
          possession of the Collateral Agent), if any, at such place or places,
          reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor, as
          designated in such request;

     (c)  subject to applicable law, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be
          obligated to), without notice to the Pledgor and at such times as the
          Collateral Agent in its sole judgment may determine, exercise any or
          all of the Pledger's rights in, to and under, or in any way connected
          to the Collateral and the Collateral Agent shall otherwise have and
          may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise all of the rights,
          powers, privileges and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a
          secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not said
          Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights, powers,
          privileges and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights,
          powers, privileges and remedies to which a secured party is entitled
          under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers,
          privileges and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without
          limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
          law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership
          pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole
          and absolute owner thereof (and the Pledgor agrees to take all such
          action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

     (d)  the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make any
          reasonable compromise or settlement it reasonably deems desirable with
          respect to any of the Collateral and may (but shall not be obligated
          to) extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments,
          or otherwise modify the terms, of all or any part of the Collateral;

     (e)  the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in its name
          or in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect
          or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on
          account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral; and

     (f)  subject to applicable law, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be
          obligated to), upon 10 Business Days' prior written notice to the
          Pledgor of the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any
          part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the
          possession, custody or control of the Collateral Agent, any other
          Secured Party or any of their respective agents, sell, lease, assign
          or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such
          place or places as the Collateral Agent deems reasonable, and for cash
          or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any
          credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of
          performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or
          of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above
          or by applicable statute and cannot be waived). The Collateral Agent,
          any other Secured Party, the Pledgor or anyone else may be the
          purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the
          Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the maximum
          extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale) and
          thereafter hold the same absolutely,

                                Pledge Agreement



          free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right
          or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Pledgor, any
          such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived
          and released to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
          Subject to applicable law, the Collateral Agent may, without notice or
          publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to
          be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
          fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to
          which the sale may be so adjourned.

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section
5.07 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.11.

     The Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws,
the Collateral Agent may be compelled, subject to the notice provision as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.07, with respect to any sale of all
or any part of the Collateral constituting a security (as such term is defined
in the Securities Act of 1933), to limit purchasers to those who will agree,
among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The
Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms
less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public
sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, 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 Collateral for
the period of time necessary to permit the Pledgor or the issuer thereof to
register it for public sale.

     5.08 DEFICIENCY. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization
of or upon the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section
5.07 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and
the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall
retain all rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, and the Pledgor
shall remain liable, with respect to any deficiency to the extent the Pledgor is
obligated under this Agreement.

     5.09 REMOVALS, ETC. Without at least 30 days' prior written notice to the
Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall not: (a) maintain any of its Records at any
office other than at the Pledger's Address for Notices set out beneath its name
on the signature pages hereto; (b) maintain its chief executive office at any
place other than at the Pledger's Address for Notices set out beneath its name
on the signature pages hereto; (c) change its corporate name, or the name under
which it does business, from the name shown on the signature pages hereto; or
(d) change the jurisdiction in which it is organized from that in which it is
organized on the date hereof. The signature page hereto correctly specifies the
place of business of the Pledgor or, if the Pledgor had more than one place of
business, the location of the chief executive office of the Pledgor, in each
case during the period of four months ending on December 31, 2002.

     5.10 PRIVATE SALE. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall
incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.07 conducted in a
commercially reasonable manner. Subject to and without limitation of the
preceding sentence, the Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at
which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale to an unrelated
third party was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public
sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if
the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree.

     5.11 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.

                                Pledge Agreement



     (a)  Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly
          provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of
          all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash
          at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, shall
          be applied by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Obligations in
          accordance with Article IV of the Depositary Agreement.

     (b)  Pledgor Remains Obligated. No sale or other disposition of all or any
          part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.07 shall be deemed to
          relieve the Pledgor of its obligations under any Transaction Document
          to which it is a party except to the extent the proceeds thereof are
          applied to the payment of such obligations.

     (c)  Proceeds. As used in this Article V, "PROCEEDS" of Collateral means
          cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and
          distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received
          under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the
          Pledgor or any issuer of or obligor on any of the Collateral.

     5.12 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by
this Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the
Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Article V and
taking any action and executing any instruments which the Collateral Agent may
deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment
as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled under this Article V to make collections in respect of the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive,
endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Pledgor
representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

     5.13 PERFECTION. Prior to or on the Closing Date, the Pledgor shall: (a)
file such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other documents in
the offices set out on Annex 2 in order to perfect the security interests
granted by Article III, to the extent such security interests can be perfected
by such filing; (b) register the pledge of any applicable Collateral for
purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code; and (c) cause the Borrower
to stamp or mark the books of the Borrower to record the Liens granted
hereunder. Copies of any such Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or
amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to the Collateral Agent. The
Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to cause the filing of one or
more Uniform Commercial Code financing or continuation statements, and
amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the
signature of the Pledgor where permitted by applicable law. Copies of any such
statement or amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to the Pledgor.

     5.14 TERMINATION.

     (a)  Upon any transfer of any Collateral in accordance with Section 8.12 or
          8.13 of the Credit Agreement or Section 4.06 or 4.07, the Collateral
          Agent shall, upon the written request of (and at the sole cost and
          expense of) the Pledgor, promptly execute and deliver to the Pledgor
          such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other
          documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Pledgor to
          evidence the termination and release of the Liens on such Collateral.

     (b)  Upon the Termination Date, the security interest created by this
          Agreement shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall
          revert to the Pledgor, and the Collateral Agent shall (at the written
          request and sole cost and expense of the Pledgor) promptly

                                Pledge Agreement



          cause to be transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any
          recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining
          Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order
          of the Pledgor. The Collateral Agent shall also (at the written
          request and sole cost and expense of the Pledgor) promptly execute and
          deliver to the Pledgor upon such termination such Uniform Commercial
          Code termination statements and such other documentation as shall be
          reasonably requested by the Pledgor to effect the termination and
          release of the Liens on the Collateral.

     5.15 EXPENSES.

     (a)  Subject to, and without duplication of amounts described in, Section
          11.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor agrees promptly to pay to
          the Collateral Agent to the extent not paid by or recovered from the
          Borrower all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including
          reasonable fees and expenses for legal services) of, or incident to,
          the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Article V, or the
          exercise by experts, agents or attorneys selected by the Collateral
          Agent in good faith of any rights or privileges of the Pledgor in
          respect of the Collateral, or any actual or attempted sale, or any
          exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect
          of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and
          defending or asserting rights and claims of the Collateral Agent and
          the other Secured Parties in respect thereof, by litigation or
          otherwise, in each case in accordance with the terms of this
          Agreement, and all such reasonable fees and expenses, together with
          interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate, shall be Secured
          Obligations of the Collateral Agent secured under Article III.

     (b)  The terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or
          performed by the Pledgor under this Agreement shall be observed or
          performed by it at its sole cost and expense.

     5.16 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Pledgor agrees that, at any time and from time
to time, at its sole cost and expense, it shall promptly execute and deliver all
further agreements, instruments, documents and certificates and take all further
action that, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, may be
necessary or desirable in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement
(including the delivery of possession of any Collateral that hereafter comes
into existence or is acquired in the future by the Collateral Agent as pledgee
for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to enable the Collateral Agent to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     6.01 COLLATERAL AGENT'S RIGHT TO PERFORM ON PLEDGOR'S BEHALF. If the
Pledgor shall fail to observe or perform any of the terms, conditions, covenants
and agreements to be observed or performed by it under this Agreement, the
Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), upon reasonable notice to
the Pledgor, do the same or cause it to be done or performed or observed by
experts, agents or attorneys selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith at
the sole cost and expense of the Pledgor, either in its name or in the name and
on behalf of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent
so to do.

     6.02 WAIVERS OF RIGHTS INHIBITING ENFORCEMENT. The Pledgor waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

                                Pledge Agreement



     (a)  any claim that, as to any part of the Collateral, a public sale,
          should the Collateral Agent elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself,
          not a commercially reasonable method of sale for the Collateral;

     (b)  the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the
          Collateral Agent any offsets that it may have;

     (c)  except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL
          HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S TAKING POSSESSION OR
          DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR
          NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH
          RIGHT THAT THE PLEDGOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR
          ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, AND ALL OTHER
          REQUIREMENTS AS TO THE TIME, PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER
          REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S
          RTGHTS HEREUNDER;

     (d)  all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay and extension
          or moratorium; and

     (e)  all other rights the exercise of which would, directly or indirectly,
          prevent, delay or inhibit the enforcement of any of the rights or
          remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under
          this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral, now or
          hereafter in force under any applicable law, and the Pledgor, for
          itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or
          hereafter lawfully may, hereby waive the benefit of all such laws and
          rights.

     6.03 NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure on the part of the
Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of such Person's agents to
exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to,
any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No
single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or
any of such Person's agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other
Transaction Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, powers or remedies which either Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Pledgor in any case
shall entitle the Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of either the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any other or further action in
any circumstances without notice or demand, except to the extent notice is
expressly required by this Agreement or any other Financing Document.

     6.04 NOTICES. All notices, requests and other communications provided for
herein (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers or

set out in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise so changed in

     6.05 AMENDMENTS, ETC. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified
or waived only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Pledgor and the
Collateral Agent. Any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall
be binding upon the Collateral Agent and each Lender, each holder of any of the
Secured Obligations and the Pledgor. Any waiver shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specified purpose for which it was given.

                                Pledge Agreement

any of the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that the Pledgor shall not
assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.

     6.08 SURVIVAL, ETC. The obligations of the Pledgor under Section 5.15 shall
survive after termination of this Agreement or the resignation or the removal of
the Collateral Agent. In addition, the representations and warranties of the

Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties in entering into the
Credit Agreement and the relevant Financing Documents and making each Loan,

number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one

Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement and the other
Financing Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to matters covered by this Agreement and the other
Financing Documents and supersede any and all prior agreements and
understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall become effective at such time as the Collateral Agent shall have
received counterparts hereof signed by all of the intended parties hereto.

     6.10 AGENTS, ETC. The Collateral Agent may employ agents, experts and
attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any such agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it in good faith.

     6.11 SEVERABILITY. If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a)
the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such

     Borrower (A) the accuracy of the information set forth in such Distribution
     Certificate, (B) that all conditions to such payment set forth in Section

     (other than any Default that (i) provides a cure period therefor of not
     more than 30 days, (ii) is reasonably capable of being remedied during such
     30-day period, (iii) as to which the Borrower is diligently prosecuting or
     pursuing such remedy, and (iv) following the occurrence of which not more
     than 30 days have elapsed) or Event of Default has occurred and is
     continuing or will occur as a result of the Depositary Bank's allowing such
     withdrawal, by the Collateral Agent's delivery to the Depositary Bank of
     such Distribution Certificate and a written notice from the Collateral
     Agent authorizing the Depositary Bank to permit such withdrawal (which may
     take the form of the Collateral Agent's countersignature on a Distribution

each succeeding Quarterly Date (or corresponding Business Day) until such time
as Borrower has demonstrated its compliance with Section 8.13(iii) of the Credit
Agreement.

(i) priorities FIRST through SIXTH of Section 4.1 (b), or (ii) Section 4.1(e)(i)
or 4.1(e)(ii), as the Collateral Agent shall select.

Permitted Investments pursuant to Section 5.5) exceed the Debt Service Reserve
Required Amount, subject to the prior written approval of the Collateral Agent
(which shall be given so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and

compliance with its obligations under Section 8.13 of the Credit Agreement, to
the Borrower or as directed by the Borrower, all or a portion of such excess
funds.

     knowledge, no Government Approval of any Government Authority of the State
     of New York, the State of New Jersey or the United States of America
     governing



                                      -14-


     the banking and trust powers of the Depositary Bank, except for such
     Government Approvals as have been obtained and are in full force and effect
     and are not subject to appeal or judicial or other governmental review, are
     required to be obtained by the Depositary Bank in connection with the
     execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the taking of any
     action by any party contemplated hereby.

          (e) The Accounts are and will be maintained by the Depositary Bank as
     "securities accounts" (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) to the
     extent "financial assets" (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) are
     deposited in or credited to the Accounts. The Depositary Bank will treat
     each item of property (including cash and investment property) held by it
     in or credited to the Accounts as a "financial asset" to the extent such
     property can be treated as a "financial asset" under the Uniform Commercial
     Code. The Depositary Bank will treat and identify the Collateral Agent as
     the "entitlement holder" (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) with
     respect to the Accounts and all financial assets credited thereto. No
     financial asset deposited in or credited to the Accounts shall be
     registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed
     to any Person other than the Collateral Agent, unless endorsed to the
     Depositary Bank or in blank. The Collateral Agent, acting for the benefit
     of the Secured Parties, will have control of all security entitlements with
     respect to financial assets credited to the Accounts. The Depositary Bank
     will comply strictly with all "entitlement orders" (as defined in the
     Uniform Commercial Code) originated by the Collateral Agent in accordance
     with the terms of the Financing Documents without further consent by the
     Borrower or any other Person. The Depositary Bank will not comply or agree
     to comply with any entitlement order with respect to the Accounts or any
     financial assets credited thereto given by any Person other than the
     Collateral Agent. The Depositary Bank is a "securities intermediary" (as
     defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) and will act in such capacity. The
     Depositary Bank is not a "clearing corporation" (as defined in the Uniform
     Commercial Code).

          (f) In the event that the Accounts are not considered "securities
     accounts" (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) under applicable law,
     the Accounts shall be deemed to be "deposit accounts" (as defined in the
     Uniform Commercial Code) to the extent a security interest can be granted
     and perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code in the Accounts as deposit
     accounts, which the Collateral Agent shall maintain with the Depositary
     Bank acting not as a securities intermediary but as a "bank" (as defined
     in the Uniform Commercial Code). The Collateral Agent, acting on behalf of
     the Secured Parties, shall be



                                      -15-


     deemed the customer of the Depositary Bank for purposes of the Accounts and
     as such shall be entitled to all the rights that customers of banks have
     under applicable law with respect to deposit accounts, including the right
     to withdraw funds from, or close, the Accounts (which rights shall be
     exercised in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents). The
     Depositary Bank shall not have title to the funds on deposit in the
     Accounts and shall credit the Accounts with all receipts of interest,
     dividends, and other income received on the property held in the Accounts.
     The Depositary Bank shall administer and manage the Accounts in strict
     compliance with all the terms applicable to the Accounts pursuant to the
     terms of this Agreement, and shall be subject to and comply with all the
     obligations that the Depositary Bank owes to the Collateral Agent and the
     Secured Parties with respect to the Accounts, including all subordination
     obligations, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

          (g) In the event that the Accounts are not considered "securities
     accounts" or "deposit accounts" (each as defined in the Uniform Commercial
     Code) under applicable law or a security interest cannot be granted and
     perfected in the Accounts under the Uniform Commercial Code, then the
     Accounts and all property deposited therein shall be deemed to be under the
     exclusive dominion and control of the Secured Parties, which the Secured
     Parties maintain through the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank, as
     their agents for such purpose, and the Collateral Agent and the Depositary
     Bank will act and will be deemed to be acting as the Secured Parties'
     agents in respect of the Accounts for the purpose of maintaining such
     exclusive dominion and control for the purpose of the creation and
     perfection of security interests in favor of the Secured Parties.

          (h) Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral Agent, the
     Secured Parties and the Borrower in the Accounts, no officer of the
     Depositary Bank with direct responsibility for administering this Agreement
     has actual knowledge of any claim to, or interest in, the Accounts or any
     monies or any other property deposited therein or credited thereto. If an
     officer of the Depositary Bank with direct responsibility for administering
     this Agreement obtains actual knowledge that any Person has asserted any
     lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the Accounts or in any monies or
     any other property deposited therein or credited thereto, the Depositary
     Bank will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Borrower thereof.



                                      -16-


                                  ARTICLE VII.
                            DEPOSITARY BANK GENERALLY

     SECTION 7.1. ACCEPTANCE. The acceptance by the Depositary Bank of its
duties hereunder is subject to the following terms and conditions, which the
parties to this Agreement agree shall govern and control with respect to the
rights, duties, liabilities and immunities of the Depositary Bank:

          (a) the Depositary Bank will not be responsible or liable in any
     manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity
     of the amounts deposited with or held by it;

          (b) the Depositary Bank will not be liable for any error of judgment
     or for any act done or step taken or omitted except in the case of its
     gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith;

          (c) the Depositary Bank may consult with and obtain advice from
     counsel and other skilled Persons (at the reasonable expense of the
     Borrower) in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of
     any provision hereof and shall be fully protected in taking or not taking
     any action in good faith in reliance on such advice;

          (d) the Depositary Bank will not be charged with knowledge of any
     agreement other than this Agreement and Schedule I to the Credit Agreement,
     and shall have no duties as Depositary Bank except those expressly set
     forth herein and in any modification or amendment hereof; provided, that no
     such modification or amendment will affect its duties unless it has given
     its written consent thereto;

          (e) the Depositary Bank may engage or be interested in any financial
     or other transaction with any party hereto and may act on, or as
     depository, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of
     obligations of such persons as freely as if it were not Depositary Bank;

          (f) the Depositary Bank is not obligated to take any action that in
     its reasonable judgment would involve it in expense or liability unless it
     has been furnished with reasonable indemnity (it being understood and
     agreed that the general indemnity of the Collateral Agent will constitute a
     reasonable indemnity);

          (g) the Depositary Bank will not take instructions from any Person
     except those given in accordance with this Agreement; and



                                      -17-


          (h) the Depositary Bank will be protected in acting upon any written
     notice, certificate, instruction, request or other paper or document as to
     the due execution thereof and the validity and effectiveness of the
     provisions thereof and as to the truth of any information therein
     contained, which Depositary Bank, in good faith, reasonably believes to be
     genuine.

     SECTION 7.2. FEES OF DEPOSITARY BANK. The Borrower shall pay the Depositary
Bank the following fees (and no others):

          (a) An annual fee of $4,500 payable on the Closing Date and on each
     anniversary of the Closing Date occurring on or prior to the Termination
     Date. In the event the Termination Date should occur prior to an
     anniversary of the Closing Date, the annual fee for the final year shall be
     refunded to the Borrower on a per-quarter basis, with any portion of a
     quarter counted as a full quarter.

     invested in consideration of it performing administrative services,
     provided that the Borrower shall not incur any expense or fee as a result
     of the foregoing.

     SECTION 7.3. REPLACEMENT OR RESIGNATION OF DEPOSITARY BANK.

          (a) The Depositary Bank may at any time resign by giving notice to
     each other party to this Agreement, such resignation to be effective upon
     the appointment of a successor Depositary Bank as hereinafter provided. If
     a successor Depositary Bank is not appointed within thirty (30) days after
     the giving of written notice of such resignation, the Depositary Bank may
     apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
     Depositary Bank to act until such time, if any, as a successor is appointed
     as herein provided.

          (b) The Collateral Agent may remove the Depositary Bank at any time by
     giving notice to each other party to this Agreement, such removal to be
     effective upon the appointment of a successor Depositary Bank as
     hereinafter provided.



                                      -18-


          (c) In the event of any resignation or removal of the Depositary Bank,
     a successor Depositary Bank, which shall be a bank or trust company
     organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any state
     thereof, shall be appointed by the Collateral Agent and be reasonably
     acceptable to the Borrower and the Depositary Bank shall return all
     unearned prepaid compensation. Any such successor Depositary Bank shall
     deliver to each party to this Agreement a written instrument accepting such
     appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor Depositary Bank shall
     succeed to all the rights and duties of the Depositary Bank hereunder and
     shall be entitled to receive the Accounts from the predecessor Depositary
     Bank.

          (d) Any Person into which the Depositary Bank may be merged or
     converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting
     from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Depositary Bank
     shall be a party, or any Person to which substantially all of the corporate
     trust business of the Depositary Bank may be transferred, shall be the
     Depositary Bank under this Agreement without further act.

     SECTION 7.4. INDEMNITY. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of this Section
7.4, indemnify, pay and hold the Depositary Bank and the officers, directors,
employees, agents, affiliates, and attorneys of the Depositary Bank
(collectively, the "INDEMNITEES") harmless from and against any and all
out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs of the Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Indemnitees are
designated a party thereto) that are imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
the other Financing Documents or the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder
or under any other Financing Document (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED
LIABILITIES"); provided, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any
Indemnitee if a court of competent jurisdiction renders a judgment, final and
not subject to appeal or review, that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The Borrower
shall pay or reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) incurred by such Indemnitee in the defense of any claim arising out of
any Indemnified Liability at the time such costs and expenses are incurred and
such Indemnitee has given the Borrower written notice thereof. The foregoing
indemnity will remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the
termination of this



                                      -19-


Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing
Documents, the repayment of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other
Financing Document, or the content or accuracy of any representation or warranty
made by the Borrower in any Financing Document. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 7.4
may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower
shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.
                            DISPUTES; DETERMINATIONS

     SECTION 8.1. DISPUTES. In the event of any dispute as to any amount to be
transferred or paid pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositary Bank is
authorized and directed to retain in its possession, without liability to any
Person, the disputed amount until such dispute has been settled by agreement of
the other parties hereto or by legal proceedings, but the Depositary Bank is
under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceeding; provided,
that the Depositary Bank has no right to retain any amount necessary to pay when
due principal, fees or interest payable to the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party in accordance with this Agreement (under the circumstances contemplated by
Section 4.1(b) or otherwise). The Depositary Bank has the right to interplead
the parties to a dispute in any court of competent jurisdiction and to ask such
court to determine the respective rights of such parties with respect to this
Agreement.

     SECTION 8.2. CASH AVAILABLE. In determining the amount of funds on deposit
in an Account at any time, the Depositary Bank will treat as cash available the
net amount that the Depositary Bank would receive on such day if it liquidated
all the securities then on deposit in such Account (at then-prevailing market
prices and assuming normal sales expenses). The Depositary Bank will use its
best efforts to sell securities without a loss in order that actual cash is
available on each date on which a transfer or payment is to be made pursuant to
this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IX.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 9.1. NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure on the part of any
party hereto or any of such Person's agents to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise by
any party hereto or any of such Person's agents of any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall preclude any other or further



                                      -20-


exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The
rights, powers and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any party hereto would
otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle
the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any other party hereto to
any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand,
except to the extent notice is expressly required by this Agreement or any other
Financing Document.

     SECTION 9.2. NOTICES. All notices, requests and other communications
provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers or consents
under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including by telecopy)
delivered to the intended recipient at the address set forth below or, as to any
party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to

occur by 4:00 p.m. recipient's time, then such transmission or delivery shall be
deemed to occur on the next Business Day.
