shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and (B) when added to all other
Turbine Purchase Loans then outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (I) Total
Turbine Purchase Loan Commitment and (II) an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of (x) the amount of the Total Loan Commitment at such time over (y) the
aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding plus the Aggregate LC
Stated Amount and all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations;

                         (iii) The date of the requested Borrowing, which shall
be a Banking Day;

                         (iv) If the requested Borrowing is to consist of LIBOR
Turbine Purchase Loans, the initial Interest Periods selected by Borrower for
such Turbine Purchase Loans; and

                         (v) The Turbine(s) to which such Borrowing relates.

                  Borrower shall give each Notice of Turbine Purchase Borrowing
relating to Turbine Purchase Loans to Administrative Agent so as to provide the
Minimum Notice Period applicable to Loans of the Type requested. Any Notice of
Turbine Purchase Borrowing may be modified or revoked by Borrower through the
Banking Day prior to the Minimum Notice Period, and shall thereafter be
irrevocable.

                  (c) Turbine Purchase Loan Interest. Borrower shall pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Turbine Purchase Loan from the
date of such Turbine Purchase Loan until the maturity or prepayment thereof at
the following rates per annum:

                         (i) With respect to the principal portion of such
Turbine Purchase Loan which is, and during such periods as such Turbine Purchase
Loan is, a Base Rate

                                       3
<PAGE>   18
Turbine Purchase Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest per
annum then applicable to Base Rate Construction Loans pursuant to Section
2.1.1(c)(i); and

                         (ii) With respect to the principal portion of such
Turbine Purchase Loan which is, and during such portion of such periods as such
Turbine Purchase is, a LIBOR Turbine Purchase Loan, at a rate per annum, at all
times during each Interest Period for such LIBOR Turbine Purchase Loan, equal to
the rate of interest per annum then applicable to LIBOR Construction Loans
pursuant to Section 2.1.1(c)(ii).

                  (d) Turbine Purchase Loan Principal Payments. Borrower shall
repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank, in full on the Loan
Maturity Date the unpaid principal amount of all Turbine Purchase Loans made by
such Bank.

          2.1.3 Interest Provisions Relating to Loans.

                  (a) Interest Payment Dates. Borrower shall pay accrued
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (i) in the case of each
Base Rate Loan, on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, (ii) in the
case of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period related to such
LIBOR Loan and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, every three
months after the date of such LIBOR Loan and (iii) in all cases, upon prepayment
(to the extent thereof and including any optional prepayments or Mandatory
Prepayments), upon conversion from one Type of Loan to another Type, and on the
Loan Maturity Date.

                  (b) LIBOR Loan Interest Periods.


                         (i) The initial and subsequent Interest Periods for
LIBOR Loans shall be a maximum of one month during the six month period
immediately following the Closing Date; provided that Administrative Agent may
otherwise approve, in its sole discretion, a longer Interest Period which is
requested by Borrower and otherwise complies with the following provisions of
this Section 2.1.3(b)(i). Thereafter, each subsequent Interest Period (including
any Interest Period referenced in the proviso of the first sentence of this
Section 2.1.3(b)) selected by Borrower for all LIBOR Loans shall be one, two,
three, six or, if made available by Administrative Agent, 12 months or such
other period as close to three months as is practicable to enable Borrower to
limit the number of LIBOR Loans as required by this Section 2.1.3(b)(i) or to
comply with clauses (C), (D) or (F) of the next sentence. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in either of the two preceding sentences, (A) any
Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day
shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day unless such next Banking
Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall
end on the immediately preceding Banking Day; (B) any Interest Period which
begins on the last Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there
is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such
Interest Period) shall end on the last Banking Day of a calendar month; (C)
Borrower may not select Interest Periods which would leave a greater principal
amount of Loans subject to Interest Periods ending after a date upon which Loans
are or may be required to be repaid than principal amount of Loans scheduled to
be outstanding after such date; (D) any Interest Period for a Loan which would
otherwise end after the Loan Maturity Date shall end on the Loan

                                       4
<PAGE>   19
Maturity Date; (E) LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period shall be in the amount
of at least $100,000; and (F) Borrower may not at any time have outstanding more
than twelve different Interest Periods relating to LIBOR Loans.

                         (ii) Borrower may contact Administrative Agent at any
time prior to the end of an Interest Period, for a quotation of Interest Rates
in effect at such time for given Interest Periods and Administrative Agent shall
promptly provide such quotation. Borrower may select an Interest Period
telephonically within the time periods specified in Section 2.1.6, which
selection shall be irrevocable on and after the applicable Minimum Notice
Period. Borrower shall confirm such telephonic notice to Administrative Agent by
telecopy on the day such notice is given (in substantially the form of Exhibit
C-3, a "Confirmation of Interest Period Selection"). Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Administrative Agent the original of the Confirmation of Interest
Period Selection initially delivered by telecopy. If Borrower fails to notify
Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans in
accordance with this Section 2.1.3(b), such Loans shall automatically convert to
Base Rate Loans on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor.
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable (and, in any case, within two
Banking Days after delivery of the Confirmation of Interest Period Selection)
notify Borrower of each determination of the Interest Rate applicable to each
Loan.

                  (c) Interest Account and Interest Computations. Borrower
authorizes Administrative Agent to record in an account or accounts maintained
by Administrative Agent on its books (i) the interest rates applicable to all
Loans and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (ii) the Interest Period
for each LIBOR Loan, (iii) the date and amount of each principal and interest
payment on each Loan and (iv) such other information as Administrative Agent may
determine is necessary for the computation of interest payable by Borrower
hereunder. Borrower agrees that all computations by Administrative Agent of
interest shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. All computations
of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be based upon a year of 365 or 366 days and
the actual days elapsed, and shall be adjusted in accordance with any changes in
the Base Rate to take effect on the beginning of the day of such change in the
Base Rate. All computations of interest on LIBOR Loans shall be based upon a
year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed.

         2.1.4 Promissory Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans
made by each Bank and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall
be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of Exhibit B (individually, a
"Note"), each payable to the order of such Bank and in the principal amount of
such Bank's Loan Commitment. Borrower authorizes each Bank to record on the
schedule annexed to such Bank's Note, the date and amount of each Loan made by
such Bank, and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder and agrees
that all such notations shall constitute prima facie evidence of the matters
noted. Borrower further authorizes each Bank to attach to and make a part of
such Bank's Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No
failure to make any such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations,
shall affect the validity of Borrower's obligations to repay the full unpaid
principal amount of the Loans or the duties of Borrower hereunder or thereunder.

         2.1.5 Loan Funding.

                  (a) Notice. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered by
Borrower to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.1. Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents of each Notice of
Borrowing.

                  (b) Pro Rata Loans. All Loans shall be made on a pro rata
basis by the Banks in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares of
such Loans, with each Borrowing to consist of a Loan by each Bank equal to such
Bank's Proportionate Share of such Borrowing.

                  (c) Bank Funding. Each Bank shall, before 12:00 noon on the
date of each Borrowing, make available to Administrative Agent at its office
specified in Section 12.1, in same day funds, such Bank's Proportionate Share of
such Borrowing. The failure of any Bank to make the Loan to be made by it as
part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation
hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing. No Bank shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by
such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing.

                  (d) Construction Account. No later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified in each Notice of Borrowing, if the applicable conditions precedent
listed in Article 3 have been satisfied and to the extent Administrative Agent
shall have received the appropriate funds from the Banks, Administrative Agent
will make available the Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing (or so much
thereof as the Banks shall have approved pursuant to this Agreement) in Dollars
and in immediately available funds, at Administrative Agent's New York Branch,
and shall deposit such Loans into the Construction Account.

         2.1.6 Conversion of Loans. Borrower may convert Loans from one Type of
Loans to another Type; provided, however, that (i) any conversion of LIBOR Loans
into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the first day after the last
day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans and (ii) Loans shall be converted
only in amounts of $1,000,000 or more. Borrower shall request such a conversion
by a written notice to Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit C-4,
appropriately completed (a "Notice of Conversion of Loan Type"), which
specifies:

                  (a) The Loans, or portion thereof, which are to be converted;

                  (b) The Type into which such Loans, or portion thereof, are to
be converted;

                  (c) If such Loans are to be converted into LIBOR Loans, the
initial Interest Period selected by Borrower for such Loans in accordance with
Section 2.1.3(b); and

                  (d) The date of the requested conversion, which shall be a
Banking Day.

Borrower shall so deliver each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type so as to
provide at least the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Any Notice of Conversion
of Loan Type may be modified or revoked by Borrower through the Banking Day
prior to the Minimum Notice Period, and shall

                                       6
<PAGE>   21
thereafter be irrevocable. Each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type shall be
delivered by first-class mail or telecopy to Administrative Agent at the office
or to the telecopy number and during the hours specified in Section 12.1;
provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent
the original of any Notice of Conversion of Loan Type initially delivered by
telecopy. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents
of each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type.

         2.1.7 Prepayments.

                  (a) Terms of All Prepayments. Upon the prepayment of any Loan
(whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.1.7(b) or a
Mandatory Prepayment), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the
account of the Bank which made such Loan, as applicable, (i) all accrued
interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, (ii) all accrued
fees to the date of such prepayment of the amount being prepaid, and (iii) if
such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last
day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all Liquidation Costs incurred by
such Bank as a result of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower shall have the right, by giving five Banking Days' notice to
Administrative Agent, in lieu of prepaying a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the
last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, to deposit or cause
Administrative Agent to deposit, into an account to be held by Depositary Agent
(which account shall be subjected to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in a
manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent) an amount equal to the LIBOR Loans
to be prepaid. Such funds shall be held in such account until the expiration of
the Interest Period applicable to the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid at which time the
amount deposited in such account shall be used to prepay such LIBOR Loan and any
interest accrued on such amount shall be deposited in the Revenue Account. The
deposit of amounts into such account shall not constitute a prepayment of Loans
and all Loans to be prepaid using the proceeds from such account shall continue
to accrue interest at the then applicable interest rate for such Loans until
actually prepaid. All amounts in such account shall only be invested in
Permitted Investments as directed by and at the expense and risk of Borrower.
Borrower may reborrow the principal amount of any Loan which is prepaid.

                  (b) Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.1.7(a),
Borrower may, at its option and without penalty, upon five Banking Days' notice
to Administrative Agent, prepay any Loans in whole or in part in minimum amounts
of $5,000,000 or an incremental multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

                  (c) Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall prepay (or cause to
be prepaid) Loans to the extent required by Section 3.13, 6.4, 7.2.1(9), 7.2.4,
7.5, 7.6, or 7.7 of this Agreement, or any other provision of this Agreement
which requires prepayment of Loans (such prepayment, "Mandatory Prepayment").

     2.2 Letter of Credit Facilities.

         2.2.1 Issuance of the Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, LC Bank shall, during the Loan
Availability Period, on each Banking Day specified in a Notice of LC Activity
described in Section 2.2.3, issue, extend or increase the

                                       7
<PAGE>   22
Stated Amount (as applicable), for the account of Borrower, of the Letter(s) of
Credit to which such Notice of LC Activity relates, and deliver each such Letter
of Credit (or a notice of extension or increase in the Stated Amount thereof) to
the applicable LC Beneficiary. Subject to Section 2.2.6(b), LC Bank shall not
modify the conditions for draws or terms of availability for any Letter of
Credit issued and outstanding hereunder without Borrower's consent.

         2.2.2 Availability. LC Bank shall, subject to the terms and conditions
of the Agreement, at the request and for the account of Borrower, make Letter(s)
of Credit available to Borrower and/or the Project Owners solely to enable the
Project Owners to provide security for their obligations under Project
Documents. No Letter of Credit shall be issued, renewed, replaced or extended by
LC Bank until such time (or a reasonable period before such time) as required
under the Project Document pursuant to which such Letter of Credit is being
issued. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall be on or prior to the
scheduled Loan Maturity Date.

         2.2.3 Notice of LC Activity. Borrower shall request the issuance,
extension or increase in the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit by delivering
to Administrative Agent and LC Bank an irrevocable written notice in the form of
Exhibit C-5, appropriately completed (a "Notice of LC Activity"), which
specifies, among other things:

                  (a) The particulars of the Letter of Credit to be issued or
the specific Letter of Credit to be extended or the Stated Amount of which is to
be increased;

                  (b) The Project to which such Letter of Credit relates;

                  (c) The issue date and expiration date of the Letter of Credit
to be issued or extended (neither of which shall in any event be later than the
scheduled Loan Maturity Date);

                  (d) The Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit which, together
with the Aggregate LC Stated Amount and all outstanding Reimbursement
Obligations, shall not exceed the lesser of (i) Total Letter of Credit
Commitment and (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of
the Total Loan Commitment at such time over (B) the aggregate principal amount
of all Loans then outstanding plus the Aggregate LC Stated Amount and all
outstanding Reimbursement Obligations; and

                  (e) The Available Construction Funds which, after taking into
effect the issuance of such Letter of Credit, will be equal to or exceed the
remaining Project Costs for the Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent
Projects.

Borrower shall give the Notice of LC Activity to Administrative Agent and LC
Bank at least five Banking Days before the requested date of issuance of any
Letter of Credit, and at least five Banking Days before the requested date of
extension, or increase in the Stated Amount, thereof. Any Notice of LC Activity,
once given by Borrower, may not be modified or revoked without the prior consent
of the LC Bank.

         2.2.4 Reimbursement. LC Bank shall notify Borrower of any Drawing
Payment under any Letter of Credit within one Banking Day after the date that
such Drawing Payment is made (the date such Drawing Payment is made, the
"Drawing Date"); provided, however, that

                                       8
<PAGE>   23
LC Bank's failure to provide such notification shall not relieve Borrower of its
Reimbursement Obligation (it being understood, however, that LC Bank shall not
be excused from any liability it may have to Borrower as a result of such
failure to provide the required notice). No later than 11:00 a.m. on the fifth
Banking Day after the Drawing Date, Borrower shall make or cause to be made to
LC Bank a Reimbursement Payment in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the full
amount of such Drawing Payment and (b) interest thereon for each day or portion
thereof until such Reimbursement Payment is made at a rate equal to (i) from the
Drawing Date through the fifth Banking Day following the Drawing Date, the LIBO
Rate plus the Applicable Margin then applicable to LIBOR Loans and (ii)
thereafter, the Default Rate; provided, however, that such Reimbursement Payment
shall be for the benefit of each Bank (in proportion to its Proportionate Share
of the Total Letter of Credit Commitment) to the extent that, prior to the time
such Reimbursement Payment is made, such Bank has, pursuant to Section 2.2.7,
paid LC Bank its respective Proportionate Share of the Drawing Payment made by
LC Bank. If a Reimbursement Payment is made in the full amount of such Drawing
Payment by 3:00 p.m. on the applicable Drawing Date, no interest shall be
payable on such Drawing Payment.

         2.2.5 Reimbursement Obligation Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation
of Borrower for each Drawing Payment shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement under and without regard to any circumstances, including, (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Operative Documents, (b) any
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any terms of any
of the Operative Documents, (c) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or
other right which Borrower may have at any time against any LC Beneficiary or
any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such LC
Beneficiary or transferee may be acting), LC Bank, Administrative Agent, any
Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated herein or in the other Operative Documents, or in any
unrelated transaction, (d) any breach of contract or dispute among or between
Borrower, LC Bank, Administrative Agent, any Bank, or any other Person, (e) any
demand, statement, certificate, draft or other document presented under any
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect,
(f) payment by LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of any
demand, statement, certificate, draft or other document which does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (g) any non-application or
misapplication by an LC Beneficiary of the proceeds of any Drawing Payment under
a Letter of Credit or any other act or omission of an LC Beneficiary in
connection with a Letter of Credit, (h) any extension of time for or delay,
renewal or compromise of or other indulgence or modification to the Drawing
Payment granted or agreed to by LC Bank, Administrative Agent or any Bank, with
or without notice to or approval by Borrower, (i) any failure to preserve or
protect any Collateral, any failure to perfect or preserve the perfection of any
Lien thereon, or the release of any of the Collateral securing the performance
or observance of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Operative
Documents, or (j) any other circumstances or happenings whatsoever relating to
Borrower, such Reimbursement Obligation or any Project, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing, including the failure of Borrower to occupy or use any
Project in the manner contemplated by the Operative Documents or otherwise, any
defect in title, design, operation, merchantability, fitness or condition of any
Project or in the suitability of any Project for Borrower's purposes or needs,
any failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to any Project, any
commercial frustration of purpose, the taking by condemnation of title to or the
use

                                       9
<PAGE>   24
of all or any part of any Project, any Regulatory Change, any failure of an LC
Beneficiary or any other Person to perform or observe any agreement, whether
express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or in
connection with the Operative Documents to which each is a party; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 2.2.5 shall relieve LC Bank,
Administrative Agent or any Bank from liability for its gross negligence or
willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

         2.2.6 Reduction and Reinstatement of Stated Amount.

                  (a) The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be
reduced by the amount of Drawing Payments made in respect thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2, once so
reduced, the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit shall not be reinstated
except (i) upon the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, LC Bank and
the Required Banks or (ii) upon payment by Borrower of the Reimbursement
Obligation corresponding to such Drawing Payment and satisfaction of the
conditions for an increase in the Stated Amount of a Letter of Credit set forth
in Section 2.2.3 and Article 3.

                  (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default under Section 8.1.4 or at such time as, pursuant to the terms
hereof, Administrative Agent and the Banks have accelerated the Obligations,
Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the LC Bank or the Required
Banks) shall be entitled to cancel all outstanding Letters of Credit any time at
least 15 days after delivery to the LC Beneficiary of each Letter of Credit that
will be canceled a written notice of such intent to cancel, whereupon the LC
Beneficiary shall be entitled to draw upon the applicable Letter of Credit in
accordance with its terms.

         2.2.7 Bank Participation. Each Bank severally agrees to participate
with LC Bank in the extension of credit arising from the issuance of the Letters
of Credit in an amount equal to such Bank's Proportionate Share of the Stated
Amount of each Letter of Credit, and the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be
deemed a confirmation to LC Bank of such participation in such amount. After
written notification by LC Bank to Administrative Agent at any time after LC
Bank has received notice of or request for any Drawing Payment, Administrative
Agent may request the Banks to pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of LC Bank
their respective Proportionate Shares of all or any portion of such Drawing
Payment made or to be made by LC Bank under any Letter of Credit by contacting
each Bank telephonically (promptly confirmed in writing), and specifying the
amount of such Drawing Payment (as set forth in LC Bank's written notification
of Administrative Agent of the same), such Bank's Proportionate Share thereof,
and the date on which such Drawing Payment is to be made or was made (as set
forth in LC Bank's written notification of Administrative Agent of the same);
provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not request the Banks to make
any payment under this Section 2.2.7 in connection with any portion of a Drawing
Payment for which LC Bank has been reimbursed through a Reimbursement Payment by
Borrower (unless such Reimbursement Payment has been thereafter recovered by
Borrower). Upon receipt of any such request for payment from Administrative
Agent, each Bank shall pay to Administrative Agent such Bank's Proportionate
Share of the unreimbursed portion of such Drawing Payment, together with
interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, as in
effect from time to time, from the date of such Drawing Payment to the date on
which such Bank makes payment, and Administrative

                                       10
<PAGE>   25
Agent shall promptly thereafter pay to LC Bank all amounts so received. Each
Bank's obligation to make each such payment to Administrative Agent shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence or continuance of any Inchoate
Default or Event of Default, or the failure of any other Bank to make any
payment under this Section 2.2.7, and each Bank further agrees that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. If any Reimbursement Payment is made to Administrative Agent or LC
Bank, Administrative Agent or LC Bank, as applicable, shall pay to each Bank
which has paid its Proportionate Share of the Drawing Payment such Bank's
Proportionate Share of the Reimbursement Payment and shall, in the case of
Administrative Agent, pay to LC Bank and, in the case of LC Bank, retain, the
balance of such Reimbursement Payment.

         2.2.8 Commercial Practices. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any LC Beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with
respect to the use of such Letter of Credit. Borrower agrees that neither LC
Bank, Administrative Agent nor any Bank (nor any of their respective directors,
officers or employees) shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may
be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any LC
Beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) any reference which may
be made to this Agreement or to any Letter of Credit in any agreements,
instruments or other documents; (c) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of
documents other than the Letters of Credit, or of any endorsement(s) thereon,
even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged or any statement therein prove to be
untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (d) payment by LC Bank against
presentation of documents which do not strictly comply with the terms of the
applicable Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any
reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (e) any other
circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter
of Credit, except only that LC Bank shall be liable to Borrower for acts or
events described in clauses (a) through (e) above, to the extent, but only to
the extent, of any direct damages, as opposed to indirect, special or
consequential damages, suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by
(i) LC Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether a
drawing made under the applicable Letter of Credit complies with the terms and
conditions therefor stated in such Letter of Credit or (ii) LC Bank's willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after a drawing by the respective LC
Beneficiary strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the applicable
Letter of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, LC Bank may accept any
document that appears on its face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation. Borrower hereby waives any right to object to any payment
made under a Letter of Credit with regard to a drawing that is in the form
provided in such Letter of Credit but which varies with respect to punctuation
(except punctuation with respect to any Dollar amount specified therein),
capitalization, spelling or similar matters of form.

         2.2.9 Term of Letters of Credit. Unless terminated earlier in
accordance with its terms, or extended pursuant to Section 2.2.3, each Letter of
Credit shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (a) 12:01 a.m., on the
Expiration Date stated therein (which shall be no later than the earlier of the
Loan Maturity Date and 15 days following the scheduled expiration of the letter
of credit obligations under the Project Document in connection with which such
Letter of Credit is to be issued) and (b) cancellation of such Letter of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.2.6(b).

     2.3 Total Commitments.


         2.3.1 Loan Commitment. The aggregate principal amount of all Loans
outstanding at any time or times shall not exceed $2,500,000,000 or, if such
amount is reduced by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3.4, such lower amount (such
amount, so reduced from time to time, the "Total Loan Commitment"), minus the
sum of (i) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding
plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all Reimbursement Obligations then
outstanding.

         2.3.2 Turbine Purchase Loan Commitment. The aggregate principal amount
of all Turbine Purchase Loans outstanding at any time or times shall not exceed
$500,000,000 or, if such amount is reduced by Borrower pursuant to Section
2.3.4, such lower amount (such amount, as so reduced from time to time, the
"Total Turbine Purchase Loan Commitment").

         2.3.3 Letter of Credit Commitment. The aggregate Stated Amount of all
Letters of Credit from time to time outstanding and all outstanding
Reimbursement Obligations thereunder shall not exceed $200,000,000, or, if such
amount is reduced by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3.4, such lower amount (such
amount, as so reduced from time to time, the "Total Letter of Credit
Commitment").

         2.3.4 Reductions and Cancellations. Borrower may, from time to time
upon five Banking Days written notice to Administrative Agent, permanently
reduce, by an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof or cancel in its entirety the Total Loan Commitment, the Total
Turbine Purchase Loan Commitment and/or the Total Letter of Credit Commitment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not reduce or cancel the Total Loan
Commitment, the Total Turbine Purchase Loan Commitment and/or the Total Letter
of Credit Commitment if, after giving effect to such reduction or cancellation,
(a) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding and
the Aggregate LC Stated Amount together with all outstanding Reimbursement
Obligations would exceed the Total Loan Commitment, (b) the Available
Construction Funds would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Technical
Committee and the Independent Engineer, be equal to or exceed remaining Project
Costs for all Initial Projects and Funded Subsequent Projects, or (c) such
reduction or cancellation would cause a violation of any other provision of this
Agreement, the other Credit Documents, any Project Documents, any Turbine
Purchase Contracts or have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, any Project
Owner, any Initial Project or any Funded Subsequent Project. Borrower shall pay
to Administrative Agent any Commitment Fees then due upon any cancellation and,
from the effective date of any reduction, the Commitment Fees shall be computed
on the basis of the Available Loan Commitment, as so reduced. Once reduced or
canceled, none of the Total Loan Commitment may be increased or reinstated. Any
reductions in the Total Loan Commitment, the Total Turbine Purchase Loan
Commitment or the Total Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section
2.3.4 shall be applied ratably to each Bank's respective Commitments in
accordance with Section 2.7.1.

         2.3.5 Turbine Purchase Loan Conversion to Construction Loans. In the
event a Project satisfies the conditions precedent to initial funding pursuant
to Section 3.2 or 3.3, as the case may be, and prior to such initial funding the
Turbines assigned to such Project (as set forth in Exhibit G-3), if any, were
Funded Turbines, the Turbine Purchase Loans associated with such

                                       12
<PAGE>   27
Funded Turbines shall be automatically converted for all purposes hereof into
Construction Loans and shall cease to be considered outstanding Turbine Purchase
Loans, including for purposes of Section 2.3.2, in each case as of the Funding
Date with respect to such Project.

     2.4 Fees.


         2.4.1 Fee Letter. Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arrangers, Arrangers
and Administrative Agent solely for the Lead Arrangers', Arrangers' and
Administrative Agent's respective accounts the fees described in that certain
letter from Borrower to the Lead Arrangers, Arrangers and Administrative Agent
dated the Closing Date.

         2.4.2 Loan Commitment Fees. On the last Banking Day in each calendar
quarter (where all or any portion of such calendar quarter occurs on or after
the Closing Date and prior to the Loan Maturity Date) and on the Loan Maturity
Date (or, if the Total Loan Commitment is canceled prior to such date, on the
date of such cancellation), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Banks, accruing from the Closing Date or the first day of such
quarter, as the case may be, a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") for such
quarter (or portion thereof) then ending equal to the product of (a) 0.50% times
(b) the daily average Available Loan Commitment for such quarter (or portion
thereof) times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in
such quarter (or portion thereof) and the denominator of which is the number of
days in that calendar year (365 or 366, as the case may be).

         2.4.3 Activation Fees. Concurrently with the first Borrowing in respect
of each Subsequent Project or Substituted Initial Project that becomes a Funded
Project, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Banks, an activation fee (the "Activation Fee") equal to the product of (a)
0.25% times (b) the total amount of Project Costs in respect of such Project
less any Contributions by Calpine previously applied to pay Project Costs for
such Project as reflected in such Project's Project Budget.

     2.5 Letter of Credit Fees.


         2.5.1 On the last Banking Day in each calendar quarter commencing on or
after the Closing Date and through the Loan Maturity Date, on the Expiration
Date of each Letter of Credit and on the Loan Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay
to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks, accruing from the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit
Fee") for such quarter (or portion thereof in the case of payment on the
Expiration Date of a Letter of Credit or on the Loan Maturity Date) then ending
at the rates per annum described below and computed in the following manner: The
Letter of Credit Fee in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be equal to the
product of (a) the Applicable Margin with respect to LIBOR Loans applicable at
such time, times (b) the daily average Stated Amount of each such Letter of
Credit for such quarter (or portion thereof in the case of payment on the
Expiration Date of a Letter of Credit or on the Loan Maturity Date) times (c) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such quarter (or
portion thereof in the case of payment on the Expiration Date of a Letter of
Credit or on the Loan Maturity Date) and the denominator of which is 360.


                                       13
<PAGE>   28
         2.5.2 Borrower shall pay to LC Bank solely for LC Bank's account the
issuing and paying fee and LC Bank's usual and customary charges (or such
charges as LC Bank and Borrower may agree) for the opening of any Letter of
Credit, for the negotiation of any drafts paid pursuant to any Letter of Credit
and for any wire transfers, all as described in that certain letter from
Borrower to LC Bank dated the Closing Date.

     2.6 Other Payment Terms.


         2.6.1 Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to each
Bank or Administrative Agent hereunder to Administrative Agent, for the account
of such Bank, to The Bank of New York, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
ABA#021000018, for further credit to account #8900410825 CSFB Project Finance
Fund Clearing Account; Reference: Calpine Construction Finance Company II, in
lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds not later
than 12:00 noon on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment made after
such time on any day shall be deemed received on the Banking Day after such
payment is received. Administrative Agent shall disburse to each Bank each such
payment received by Administrative Agent for such Bank, such disbursement to
occur on the day such payment is received if received by 12:00 noon or if
otherwise reasonably possible, otherwise on the next Banking Day.

         2.6.2 Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day
other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Banking Day (except in the case of any payment relating to a LIBOR Loan where
such next succeeding Banking Day is in the next calendar month, in which case
such payment shall be made on the next preceding Banking Day), and such
extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as
the case may be.

         2.6.3 Late Payments. If any amounts required to be paid by Borrower
under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including principal or
interest payable on any Loan, and any fees or other amounts otherwise payable to
Administrative Agent or any Bank) remain unpaid after such amounts are due,
Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate, unpaid balance of such amounts
from the date due until those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal
to the Default Rate.

         2.6.4 Net of Taxes, Etc.

                  (a) Taxes. Subject to each Bank's compliance with Section
2.6.7, any and all payments to or for the benefit of Administrative Agent or any
Bank by Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim of any kind
whatsoever and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such
payments, after deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto (excluding income and franchise taxes, which include taxes
imposed on or measured by the net income or capital of Administrative Agent or
such Bank by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein solely as a result of a connection between such Bank and such
jurisdiction or political subdivision, other than a connection resulting solely
from executing, delivering or performing its obligations or receiving a payment
under, or enforcing, this

                                       14
<PAGE>   29
Agreement or any Note) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes"), shall be equal to the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. If Borrower shall be required by
law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any other Credit Document to Administrative Agent or any
Bank, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.6.4, Administrative Agent or such Bank
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii)
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If Borrower shall make any
payment under this Section 2.6.4 to or for the benefit of Administrative Agent
or any Bank with respect to Taxes and if Administrative Agent or such Bank shall
claim any credit or deduction for such Taxes against any other taxes payable by
Administrative Agent or such Bank to any taxing jurisdiction then Administrative
Agent or such Bank shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to the amount by which
such other taxes are actually reduced; provided that the aggregate amount
payable by Administrative Agent or such Bank pursuant to this sentence shall not
exceed the aggregate amount previously paid by Borrower with respect to such
Taxes. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp,
recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges
or similar levies (not including income or franchise taxes) that arise under the
laws of the United States of America, the State of New York or any other state
or jurisdiction where a Project is located from any payment made hereunder or
under any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise
with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").

                  (b) Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify each Bank for the full
amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.6.4 paid by any Bank,
or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally asserted; provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify
any Bank for any penalties, interest or expenses relating to Taxes or Other
Taxes arising from the indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each
Bank agrees to give written notice to Borrower of the assertion of any claim
against such Bank relating to such Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as is
practicable after being notified of such assertion, and in no event later than
180 days after the principal officer of such Bank responsible for administering
this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof; provided that any Bank's failure to
notify Borrower of such assertion within such 180 days period shall not relieve
Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.6.4 with respect to Taxes or
Other Taxes arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower
of its obligations under this Section 2.6.4 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes
between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from
such Bank as provided herein. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank makes
written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent), which demand
shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis
thereof. Each Bank agrees to repay to Borrower any refund (including that
portion of any interest that was included as part of such refund with respect to
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6.4) received
by such Bank for Taxes or Other Taxes that were paid by Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.6.4 and to contest, with the

                                       15
<PAGE>   30
approval and participation of and at the expense of Borrower, any such Taxes or
Other Taxes which such Bank or Borrower reasonably believes not to have been
properly assessed.

                  (c) Notice. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of
Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 12.1, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof. Borrower shall compensate each Bank for all
reasonable losses and expenses sustained by such Bank as a result of any failure
by Borrower to so furnish such copy of such receipt.

                  (d) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of Borrower under
this Section 2.6.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
repayment of the Obligations.

         2.6.5 Application of Payments. Payments made under this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents and other amounts received by Administrative Agent
and the Banks under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall first be
applied to any fees, costs, charges or expenses payable to Administrative Agent
or the other Banks hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, next to any
accrued but unpaid interest then due and owing, and then to outstanding
principal then due and owing or otherwise to be prepaid; provided, with respect
to payments applied to accrued but unpaid interest then due and owing or
outstanding principal then due and owing or otherwise to be prepaid, such
payments shall be applied to such debt associated with or attributable to
Projects in the order of the respective dates of Operation of such Projects or,
if all Loans associated with or attributable to Projects which have achieved
Operation have been paid, then, at Borrower's election, pro rata as to all such
debt, to such debt associated with or attributable to Turbines or to such debt
associated with or attributable to Projects (in the case of payments of such
debt associated with or attributable to Projects, such payment shall be applied
in order of the respective anticipated dates of Commercial Operation of such
Projects, as set forth in such Projects' Project Schedules).

         2.6.6 Failure to Pay Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from Borrower at least two Banking Days prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that Borrower will not
make such payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has
made such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date and
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due
such Bank. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so made such payment in
full to Administrative Agent, such Bank shall repay to Administrative Agent
forthwith upon demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to Administrative Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate for the first five days after such date, and subsequent
thereto at the Base Rate. A certificate of Administrative Agent submitted to any
Bank with respect to any amounts owing by such Bank under this Section 2.6.6
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

         2.6.7 Withholding Exemption Certificates. Administrative Agent on the
Closing Date and each Bank upon becoming a Bank hereunder including any entity
to which any Bank grants a participation, or otherwise transfers its interest in
this Agreement, agree that they

                                       16
<PAGE>   31
will deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent
agrees that it will deliver to Borrower) either (a) a statement that it is
formed under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or (b)
if it is not so formed, a letter in the form of Exhibit J-1 or Exhibit J-2, as
appropriate, or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Borrower and
Administrative Agent and two duly completed copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may
be, certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes. Each Bank which delivers to Borrower and Administrative Agent a
Form 1001 or 4224 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to
deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent further copies of the said letter
and Form 1001 or 4224, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of
certification or procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any
such letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or within a reasonable time
after gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent letter and forms previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower,
certifying in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224 that such Bank is entitled to
receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including
any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which
any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent a Bank from duly completing and delivering
any such letter or form with respect to it and such Bank advises Borrower that
it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of
United States federal income tax, and in the case of Form W-8 or W-9,
establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Borrower
shall not be obligated, however, to pay any additional amounts in respect of
United States Federal income tax pursuant to Section 2.6.4 (or make an
indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.6.4) to any Bank (including any
entity to which any Bank sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise
transfers its rights under this Agreement) if the obligation to pay such
additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a
failure of such Bank to comply with its obligations under this Section 2.6.7.

     2.7 Pro Rata Treatment.

         2.7.1 Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise
provided herein, (a) each Borrowing and each reduction of the Total Loan
Commitment, the Total Turbine Purchase Loan Commitment or the Total Letter of
Credit Commitment shall be made or allocated among the Banks pro rata according
to their respective Proportionate Shares of such Loans or Commitments, as the
case may be, (b) each payment of principal of and interest on Loans shall be
made or shared among the Banks holding such Loans pro rata according to the
respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by such Banks and (c)
each payment of Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees shall be shared among
the Banks pro rata according to (i) their respective Proportionate Shares of the
Commitments to which such fees apply and (ii) in the case of each Bank which
becomes a Bank hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Bank so
became a Bank.

         2.7.2 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or
otherwise) on account of Loans owed to it, in excess of its ratable share of
payments on account of such Loans obtained

                                       17
<PAGE>   32
by all Banks entitled to such payments, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from
the other Banks such participation in the Loans, as the case may be, as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with
each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from
such Bank shall be rescinded and each other Bank shall repay to the purchasing
Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount
equal to such other Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the
amount of such other Bank's required repayment to (b) the total amount so
recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.
Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank
pursuant to this Section 2.7.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     2.8 Change of Circumstances.


         2.8.1 Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of
any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans, (a) Administrative Agent determines
that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably
determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances
affecting the London interbank market, or (b) Banks holding aggregate
Proportionate Shares of 33-1/3% or more of the Total Loan Commitment shall
advise Administrative Agent that (i) the rates of interest for such LIBOR Loans
do not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of making or
maintaining such Loans or (ii) deposits in Dollars in the London interbank
market are not available to such Banks (as conclusively certified by each such
Bank in good faith in writing to Administrative Agent and to Borrower) in the
ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to make and/or maintain their
LIBOR Loans, Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such
condition to Borrower. After the giving of any such notice and until
Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such condition no longer exist, Borrower's right to request the
making of or conversion to, and the Banks' obligations to make or convert to
LIBOR Loans shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Loans outstanding at the commencement
of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then current
Interest Period for such Loans into Base Rate Loans unless such suspension has
then ended.

         2.8.2 Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of
any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or
requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of
such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment, or otherwise), any
change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any
Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Bank or Borrower with any request
or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority (a "Change of Law") shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank
to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Bank shall immediately notify
Administrative Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such
notice, (a) Borrower's right to request the making of or conversion to, and the
Bank's obligations to make or convert to, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended for so
long as such condition shall exist, and (b) Borrower shall, at the request of
such Bank, either (i) pursuant to Section 2.1.6, convert any then outstanding
LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods for
such Loans, or

                                       18
<PAGE>   33
(ii) immediately repay pursuant to Section 2.1.7 or convert LIBOR Loans of the
affected Type into Base Rate Loans if such Bank shall notify Borrower that such
Bank may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Loans. Any conversion
or prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to
the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans shall be deemed a prepayment
thereof for purposes of Section 2.9.

         2.8.3 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change
of Law:

                  (a) Shall subject any Bank to any tax, duty or other charge
with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Commitment, or shall change the basis of
taxation of payments by Borrower to any Bank on such a Loan or with respect to
any Commitment (except for Taxes, Other Taxes or changes in the rate of taxation
on the overall net income of any Bank); or

                  (b) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement (without duplication of any reserve
requirement included within the applicable Interest Rate through the definition
of "Reserve Requirement") against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities
in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of
funds by any Bank for any LIBOR Loan; or

                  (c) Shall impose on any Bank any other condition directly
related to any LIBOR Loan or Commitment;

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank of
making, issuing, creating, renewing, participating in (subject to the
limitations in Section 10.13) or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or Commitment
or to reduce any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder; then Borrower shall
from time to time, upon demand by such Bank, pay to such Bank additional amounts
sufficient to reimburse such Bank for such increased costs or to compensate such
Bank for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail
the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts and the basis for
determination of such amount, submitted by such Bank to Borrower, shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of
this Agreement.

         2.8.4 Capital Requirements. If any Bank determines that (a) any Change
of Law after the date of this Agreement increases the amount of capital required
or expected to be maintained by such Bank (or the Lending Office of such Bank)
or any Person controlling such Bank (a "Capital Adequacy Requirement") and (b)
the amount of capital maintained by such Bank or such Person which is
attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement must
be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into
account such Bank's or such Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy),
Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of such Bank or such
Person, upon demand of Administrative Agent on behalf of such Bank or such
Person, such amounts as such Bank or such Person shall reasonably determine are
necessary to compensate such Bank or such Person for the increased costs to such
Bank or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate of such Bank or
such Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such
increased costs, delivered to Borrower by Administrative Agent on behalf of such
Bank or such Person shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and
binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement.


                                       19
<PAGE>   34
         2.8.5 Notice; Participating Banks' Rights. Each Bank will notify
Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will
entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.8, as promptly as
practicable, and in no event later than 90 days after the principal officer of
such Bank responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge
thereof; provided that any Bank's failure to notify Borrower within such 90 day
period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.8.5
with respect to claims arising prior to the end of such period, but shall
relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.8.5 with respect to the
time between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice
from the indemnitee as provided herein. No Person purchasing from a Bank a
participation in any Commitment (as opposed to an assignment) shall be entitled
to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8.3 or
Section 2.8.4 which would be in excess of the applicable proportionate amount
(based on the portion of the Commitment in which such Person is participating)
which would then be payable to such Bank if such Bank had not sold a
participation in that portion of the Commitment.

     2.9 Funding Losses. If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any LIBOR Loans
on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans (whether
an optional prepayment or a Mandatory Prepayment), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR
Loans in accordance with a Notice of Borrowing delivered to Administrative Agent
(whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or
otherwise), (c) fail to convert any Loans into LIBOR Loans in accordance with a
Notice of Conversion of Loan Type delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as
a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (d)
fail to continue a LIBOR Loan in accordance with a Confirmation of Interest
Period Selection delivered to Administrative Agent or (e) fail to make any
prepayment in accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to
Administrative Agent; Borrower shall, upon demand by any Bank, reimburse such
Bank for all costs and losses incurred by such Bank as a result of such
repayment, prepayment or failure ("Liquidation Costs"). Borrower understands
that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Bank as a result of
funding and other contracts entered into by such Bank to fund LIBOR Loans. Each
Bank demanding payment under this Section 2.9 shall deliver to Borrower a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the amount of
costs and losses for which demand is made. Such a certificate so delivered to
Borrower shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as
to the amount of such loss for purposes of this Agreement.

     2.10 Alternate Office; Minimization of Costs.

         2.10.1 To the extent reasonably possible, each Bank shall designate an
alternative Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Loans and otherwise take
any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to any Bank under
Section 2.6.4, 2.8.3 or 2.8.4, or to avoid the unavailability of any Type of
Loans under Section 2.8.2 so long as such Bank, in its sole discretion, does not
determine that such designation is disadvantageous to such Bank.

         2.10.2 If and with respect to each occasion that a Bank either makes a
demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.6.4, 2.6.7, 2.8.3 or 2.8.4 or is
unable to fund LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.8.2 or such Bank wrongfully
fails to fund a Loan, Borrower may, upon at least five Banking Days' prior
irrevocable written notice to each of such Bank and Administrative Agent, in
whole permanently replace the Commitment of such Bank; provided

                                       20
<PAGE>   35
that Borrower shall replace such Commitment with the Commitment of a commercial
bank reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers. Such replacement Bank shall
upon the effective date of replacement purchase the Obligations owed to such
replaced Bank for the aggregate amount thereof and shall thereupon for all
purposes become a "Bank" hereunder. Such notice from Borrower shall specify an
effective date for the replacement of such Bank's Commitment, which date shall
not be later than the tenth day after the day such notice is given. On the
effective date of any replacement of such Bank's Commitment pursuant to this
Section 2.10.2, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of
such Bank (a) any fees due to such Bank to the date of such replacement; (b)
accrued interest on the principal amount of outstanding Loans held by such Bank
to the date of such replacement, and (c) the amount or amounts requested by such
Bank pursuant to each of Sections 2.6.4, 2.6.7, 2.8.3 and 2.8.4, as applicable.
Borrower will remain liable to such replaced Bank for any Liquidation Costs that
such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of repayment of such Bank's
Loans (unless such Bank has defaulted on its obligation to fund a Loan
hereunder). Upon the effective date of repayment of any Bank's Loans and
termination of such Bank's Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.10.2, such Bank
shall cease to be a Bank hereunder. No such termination of any such Bank's
Commitment and the purchase of such Bank's Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10.2
shall affect (i) any liability or obligation of Borrower or any other Bank to
such terminated Bank which accrued on or prior to the date of such termination
or (ii) such terminated Bank's rights hereunder in respect of any such liability
or obligation.

         2.10.3 Any Bank may designate a Lending Office other than that set
forth on Exhibit H and may assign all of its interests under the Credit
Documents, and its Notes, to such Lending Office; provided that such designation
and assignment do not at the time of such designation and assignment increase
the reasonably foreseeable liability of Borrower under Sections 2.6.4, 2.8.3, or
2.8.4 or make an Interest Rate option unavailable pursuant to Section 2.8.2.

     2.11 Extension of Loan Maturity Date.

         2.11.1 Borrower may, not earlier than 730 days and not later than 365
days prior to the initial Date Certain, request Administrative Agent to request
that the Banks agree to an extension of the initial Date Certain for an
additional period not to exceed one year from the date of the initial Date
Certain upon the terms and conditions of this Section 2.11.

         2.11.2 Upon receipt of any such request from Borrower, Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such request. Each Bank shall notify
Administrative Agent not later than 45 days after receiving notice of the
extension request from Administrative Agent if, in its sole discretion, it
agrees to extend its Commitment (or any portion thereof) for such additional
requested period. Each such notice from a Bank which agrees to extend such
Commitment (each, a "Renewing Bank") shall specify (i) all or that portion of
its Commitment which it is willing to extend and (ii) the amount of any
additional Commitment it would be willing to assume (with respect to any
Renewing Bank, an "Additional Commitment"). Any Bank which fails to deliver such
notice to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to renew its
Commitment for such additional requested period. Each Commitment (or portion
thereof) which is not renewed is hereinafter referred to as a "Declined
Commitment" and collectively, the "Declined Commitments." After receipt of such
notices, Administrative Agent

                                       21
<PAGE>   36
shall allocate the Declined Commitments (if any) among each Renewing Bank pro
rata according to the respective amounts of their Additional Commitments
(provided that in no event shall any such Renewing Bank be allocated an amount
in excess of its Additional Commitment). On the first Business Day after the
60th day following the notice issued by Administrative Agent to the Banks of the
extension request, Administrative Agent shall advise Borrower in writing (a
"Renewal Notice"), with a copy to each of the Banks, of the affirmative
responses which it has received from the Renewing Banks and the respective
amounts of the Commitments of each Renewing Bank.

         2.11.3 Subject to the following sentence, if the aggregate amount of
the Additional Commitments is less than 100% of the aggregate of the Declined
Commitments then in effect, the initial Date Certain shall only be extended if,
(i) on or before the initial Date Certain Borrower repays in accordance with
Section 2.1.7 (and subject to Section 2.3.4) the Loans outstanding comprising
Declined Commitments not being assumed pursuant to Section 2.11.4, if any, and
(ii) the Available Construction Funds, after giving effect to such repayment,
equal or exceed the remaining Project Costs of all Initial Projects and Funded
Subsequent Projects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate amount of
the Additional Commitments is less than 100% of the aggregate of the Declined
Commitments, Borrower may replace any Bank to the extent of such Bank's Declined
Commitment, with another commercial bank or banks reasonably satisfactory to the
Lead Arrangers and the LC Bank (a "Replacement Bank"). Borrower shall notify
Administrative Agent (who shall promptly forward such notice to the Banks), no
later than 180 days prior to the initial Loan Maturity Date, whether it will
prepay the Loans comprising the Declined Commitments in accordance with Section
2.1.7 and/or replace Banks to the extent of such Banks' Declined Commitments as
described in the preceding sentences. Each Bank whose outstanding Loans have
been repaid in full and who has been paid all other amounts due to it hereunder
shall cease to be a Bank hereunder and shall cancel and return to Borrower any
Notes held by such Bank.

         2.11.4 If the aggregate amount of the Additional Commitments (including
the Commitments provided by any Replacement Banks) is equal to or greater than
100% of the aggregate of the Commitments of all Banks then in effect, the
following shall occur:

                  (a) the initial Date Certain shall be extended as requested by
Borrower;

                  (b) Borrower shall repay any Loans (and all fees and other
Obligations due in respect of such Loans) it has elected to repay pursuant to
Section 2.11.3;

                  (c) the Banks (including the Replacement Banks, if any) shall
enter into such assignment and assumption agreements reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent as may be necessary to transfer any Banks' Declined
Commitments to Banks (and Replacement Banks) extending Additional Commitments,
such assignment and assumption agreements to become effective on the initial
Date Certain (before giving effect to any extension thereof);

                  (d) on the initial Date Certain (prior to giving effect to any
extension thereof) each Replacement Bank shall for all purposes become a "Bank"
hereunder;


                                       22
<PAGE>   37
                  (e) Borrower shall, if applicable, execute and deliver to each
Bank a new Note to reflect such Bank's new Commitment (after giving effect to
such Bank's Additional Commitment or Declined Commitment) and each Bank
receiving such new Note shall cancel and return to Borrower the pre-existing
Note held by such Bank; and

                  (f) each Bank whose outstanding Loans have been repaid in full
and who has been paid all other amounts due to it hereunder shall cease to be a
Bank hereunder and shall cancel and return to Borrower any Notes held by such
Bank.

<PAGE>   64
     3.4 Conditions Precedent to Each Construction Credit Event. The obligation
of the Banks to make each Construction Loan (including the initial Construction
Loans for each Initial Project and each Subsequent Project) (a "Construction
Credit Event"), is subject to the prior satisfaction of each of the following
conditions:

         3.4.1 Monthly Drawdown Frequency. Construction Loans shall be made no
more frequently than two times per month.

         3.4.2 Notice of Construction Borrowing. Borrower shall have delivered a
Notice of Construction Borrowing to Administrative Agent in accordance with the
procedures specified in Section 2.1.

disbursement of funds are being requested and (ii) at least four Banking Days
prior to each Construction Credit Event, the Independent Engineer shall have
provided Administrative Agent with a certificate of the Independent Engineer,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-7. Such certificates shall certify, among
other things, that (A) the aggregate amount of Project Costs for each Project
(not including financing fees and interest expenses allocated to such Project
but not reflected in such Project's Project Budget delivered pursuant to Section
3.1 or 3.3, as the case may be, and other expenses not allocable to a particular
Project) for which the disbursement of funds is being requested is not projected
to exceed 110% of the anticipated aggregate amount of Project Costs for such
Project as set forth in such Project's Project Budget delivered pursuant to
Section 3.1 or 3.3, as the case may be, and (B) the aggregate amount of Project
Costs for all Initial Projects and Funded Subsequent Projects then under
construction is not projected to exceed 105% of the anticipated aggregate amount
of Project Costs for all such Projects as set forth in the respective Project
Budgets delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.3, as the case may be; provided,
however, that if the condition described in clause (A) above is not satisfied
with respect to a particular Project for which funds are being requested but (x)
the Independent Engineer confirms that the cost overruns with respect to such
Project are not reasonably likely to exceed a specific amount and (y) the
condition described in clause (B) is satisfied and will continue to be satisfied
after giving effect to any further anticipated overruns with respect to the
Project experiencing such overruns, then the Banks will not unreasonably
withhold their consent to waive the condition described in clause (A) above.

         3.4.4 Amount. Construction Loans shall be in such amounts as shall
ensure that uncommitted funds remaining in the Construction Account (other than
those in Turbine Purchase Sub-Accounts) shall be disbursed to the greatest
extent possible, given the requirements of Section 2.1.1(b)(ii).

         3.4.5 Title Policy Endorsement. Borrower shall provide, or
Administrative Agent shall be adequately assured that the Title Insurer is
committed at the time of each Construction Credit Event to issue to
Administrative Agent a date-down endorsement of the relevant Title Policies, if
any, to the date of such Construction Credit Event, insuring or

                                       50

materialmen's liens, in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, from each
relevant Major Contractor and Major Subcontractors thereof for all work,
services and materials, including equipment and fixtures of all kinds, done,
previously performed or furnished for the construction of the relevant Project,
and in respect of which Borrower has requested payment; provided, however, that
such releases may be conditioned upon receipt of payment with respect to work,
services and materials to be paid for with the proceeds of the requested
Construction Loan or other Borrowing pursuant to this Section 3.4.

         3.4.7 Applicable Permits. Except as disclosed in the Permit Schedule
applicable to the relevant Project, if any, all Applicable Permits and
Applicable Third Party Permits (as of the date of the Construction Credit Event)
with respect to the construction and, if applicable, operation of the relevant
Project required to have been obtained by the relevant Project Owner (or such
Project Owner and its Joint Venturers, if applicable) or any other applicable
Major Project Participant by the date of such Construction Credit Event from any
Governmental Authority shall have been issued and be in full force and effect
and not subject to current legal proceedings or to any unsatisfied conditions
that could reasonably be expect to allow material modification or revocation,
and all applicable appeal periods with respect thereto shall have expired. With
respect to any Permits not yet obtained and, if the relevant Project has an
associated Permit Schedule, listed in Part II(A) or II(B) of the applicable
Permit Schedule, either (a) in the Technical Committee's reasonable opinion,
such Permit will be timely obtainable at a cost consistent with the applicable
Project Budget without material difficulty or delay prior to the time the
relevant Project Owner (or such Project Owner and its Joint Venturers, if
applicable) or the applicable other Major Project Participant, as applicable,
requires such Permit, or (b) there shall exist alternate solutions (the expected
cost of which is reflected in the applicable Project Budget) reasonably
satisfactory to the Independent Engineer which would eliminate the need for such
Permit. Except as disclosed in the applicable Permit Schedule, if any, such
Permits which have been obtained by the relevant Project Owner (or such Project
Owner and its Joint Venturers, if applicable) or any applicable Major Project
Participant shall not be subject to any restriction, condition, limitation or
other provision that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect with respect to Borrower or such Project.

Section 5.17.

         3.4.9 Additional Documentation. With respect to Additional Major
Project Documents and Applicable Permits with respect to the relevant Project

of the construction or operation of the relevant Project or otherwise) since the
date of the most recent Construction Credit Event, in furtherance of, among
other things, the Lien on such Project and related Collateral granted on the
Closing Date or the relevant Funding Date, as the case may be, there shall be
redelivery of such

                                       51

requested by Administrative Agent, Sections 3.2.9 and 3.2.22 or Sections 3.3.10
and 3.3.23, as the case may be, from the counterparty to such Additional Project
Document.

         3.4.10 Acceptable Work; No Liens. All work that has been done on the
relevant Project shall have been done in a good and workmanlike manner and in
accordance with the Construction Contracts and Prudent Utility Practices and

injured or damaged by flood, fire or other casualty, Administrative Agent shall
have received insurance proceeds or money or other assurances sufficient in the
reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent and the Independent Engineer to
assure restoration and Completion of such Project prior to the Loan Maturity
Date and each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.5.3 has been satisfied.

         3.4.12 Absence of Litigation. No action, suit, proceeding or
investigation shall have been instituted against any Portfolio Entity or the

Effect on Borrower or the Project with respect to which a Construction Loan is
being requested, except as approved by Administrative Agent with the consent of
the Required Banks.

         3.4.13 Insurance. Insurance complying with the requirements of Section
5.18 shall be in effect, and upon the request of Administrative Agent evidence
thereof shall be provided to Administrative Agent.

Completion Date of all Initial Projects and Funded Subsequent Projects that have
not achieved Completion to occur in accordance with all Legal Requirements and
the Construction Contracts prior to the guaranteed completion date with respect
to each such Project set therefor in such Project's Project Schedule and to pay

respect to more than one Project, and the applicable conditions set forth in
this Article 3 for such Borrowing have not been satisfied for one or more of
such Projects, then such Borrowing shall be permitted to occur for the Projects
in respect of which all applicable conditions have been satisfied, unless (i)
the failure of any condition to be satisfied with respect to any Project has the
effect of causing an Event of Default or Inchoate Default to occur under this
Agreement, in which case the requested Borrowing shall not be permitted to occur
until such time as the Event of Default or Inchoate Default has been cured and
the applicable conditions have been satisfied, or (ii) a Non-Fundamental Project
Default or Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default has occurred and is

pursuant to Sections 3.1 and, if applicable, 3.3, or (B) the Debt to
Capitalization Ratio yields maximum projected ratios that are higher than the
Maximum Debt to Capitalization Ratio at any time through the Loan Maturity Date,
then Borrower shall not be permitted to obtain the requested Borrowing with
respect to any Project unless and until such time as (x) the Four-Quarter
Portfolio Interest Coverage Ratio and the Debt to Capitalization Ratio meet the
thresholds specified above or (y) the Non-Fundamental Project Default or
Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default, is no longer continuing and, in each
case, the applicable conditions in this Article 3 have been satisfied.

at least 4 Banking Days prior to the date of the requested disbursement of funds
from the Construction Account, the Independent Engineer shall have provided
Administrative Agent with

                                       64
<PAGE>   79
a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit C-7 or C-9, as the case may
be, relating to such disbursement; provided, however, that in the case of a
Project (rather than a Turbine) such certificates need not certify as to whether
the amount of Project Costs incurred by the Project for which the disbursement
is being requested are in excess of the amounts set forth in the corresponding
Project Budget, and the funds deposited by Borrower into the Construction
Account with respect to Projects shall be released regardless of whether or not
the requested disbursement is in excess of the amounts set forth in the
corresponding Project Budget; provided, further, that until the funding of the
initial Loans with respect to a given Project or Turbine, funds deposited by
Borrower into the Construction Account with respect to such Project or Turbine

Turbine).

                  (b) In the event that Borrower makes a Contribution with
respect to a Project as contemplated in paragraph (a) above or otherwise with
respect to a Project which is in excess of the Base Equity and Additional
Borrower Equity which Borrower is required to contribute or cause to be
contributed under this Agreement, then Borrower shall, at any time (i) except as
set forth in the last sentence of this Section 3.10(b), after all Initial
Projects have become Funded Projects, (ii) prior to the Completion of the
Project for which such funds were contributed, (iii) when no Non-Fundamental
Project Default, Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default, Event of Default or
Inchoate Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) so long as Borrower's
Four-Quarter Portfolio Interest Coverage Ratio as of the end of the most recent
calendar quarter equaled or exceeded [*] to 1.00, and (v) so long as Borrower's
Debt to Capitalization Ratio as of the end of the most recent calendar quarter
were no higher than the Applicable Debt to Capitalization Ratio then in effect,
obtain reimbursement of or repayment of, as the case may be, such Contributions
described in paragraph (a) above through Loans by satisfying the conditions set
forth in Section 3.4 with respect to such Project; provided, however, that the
difference between (x) the aggregate amount of Contributions by Borrower to the
Funded Projects less (y) the sum of the amount of the requested reimbursement or
repayment, as the case may be, plus the aggregate amount of all prior
reimbursements and repayments shall be no less than (z) [*] plus the
Contributions required pursuant to Section 5.17.1. Notwithstanding clause (i) of
this Section 3.10(b) but so long as the other conditions set forth in this
Section 3.10(b) are satisfied (including without limitation the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 3.4), on the Funding Date for the Los
Medanos Energy Center Project, Borrower shall be entitled to obtain
reimbursement for (x) any Project Costs with respect to the Los Medanos Energy
Center Project paid by Calpine from September 1, 2000 through the Funding Date
for such Project, and (y) the amount of any and all fees and costs paid to the
Lead Arrangers, the Arrangers, Administrative Agent, LC Bank or the Banks by or
on behalf of Borrower on the Closing Date.

     3.11 No Approval of Work. Neither the making of any Loan nor the issuance
of any Letter of Credit hereunder shall be deemed an approval or acceptance by
Administrative Agent or the Banks of any work, labor, supplies, materials or
equipment furnished or supplied with respect to any of the Projects or Turbines.

     3.12 Waiver of Funding; Adjustment of Drawdown Requests. Subject to Section
10.9, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Banks, without waiving any of
the Banks' rights hereunder, shall have the right to effect a Construction
Credit Event, Turbine Purchase Credit Event or LC Action hereunder without full
compliance by Borrower with the conditions described in this Article 3. In the
event Administrative Agent determines that an item or items listed in a Drawdown
Certificate as a Cost is not properly included in such Drawdown Certificate,
Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Independent Engineer, may in its
reasonable discretion cause to be made a Loan or Loans in the amount requested
in such Drawdown Certificate less the amount of such item or items or may reduce
the amount of Loans made pursuant to any subsequent Drawdown Certificate. In the
event that Borrower prevails in any dispute as to whether such Costs were
properly included in such Drawdown Certificate, Loans in the amount requested
but not initially made shall forthwith be made.

     3.13 Ability of Technical Committee to Defer Satisfaction of Conditions
Precedent to Initial Funding for Projects Five Through Twelve. The Technical
Committee (and not the Required Banks), without deferring any of the Banks'
other rights hereunder, or waiving any of the Banks' rights hereunder, shall
have the ability to defer Borrower's required satisfaction of any condition
precedent set forth in Sections 3.2 or 3.3, as the case may be, and to effect a
Construction Credit Event under Sections 3.2 or 3.3, as the case may be, with
respect to any of Projects Five Through Twelve without satisfaction by Borrower
of the condition(s) so deferred; provided that (a) in the reasonable opinion of
the Technical Committee, the deferral of Borrower's satisfaction of such
condition(s) precedent is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Borrower, (b) if such deferred condition(s) precedent is not satisfied
or waived by the Required Banks by the earlier of (i) one year after the Funding
Date with respect to the applicable Project and (ii) the scheduled Completion
Date of such Project (as set forth in such Project's Project Schedule), then
Borrower's ability to borrow Construction Loans with respect to such Project
shall be suspended until such condition has been satisfied or waived by the
Required Banks and (c) if such condition is not satisfied or waived by the
Required Banks by the scheduled Completion Date of such Project (as set forth in
such Project's Project Schedule), Borrower shall calculate Borrower's Debt to
Capitalization Ratio and promptly make or cause to be made Contributions so that
Borrower's Debt to Capitalization Ratio does not exceed the Applicable Debt to
Capitalization Ratio then in effect; provided, however, Borrower may, at its
option, prepay all Loans attributable to such Project (with amounts other than
amounts in any Account or otherwise constituting Collateral), in which event
Administrative Agent thereafter shall execute and deliver to Borrower such
documents and instruments, including UCC-3 termination statements, as reasonably
may be necessary to release the Liens granted to the Banks in the relevant
Project and/or equity interests with respect to the relevant Portfolio Entities
with respect to such Project (including the Lien on cash flows from such
Project).

     4.9 Permits. With respect to each Funded Project in the case of Sections
4.9.1 and 4.9.2, and with respect to each Turbine assigned to any Initial
Project (as set forth on Exhibit G-3) and each Funded Turbine in the case of
Section 4.9.3:

         4.9.1 There are no Permits under existing law as such Project is
designed that are or will become Applicable Permits other than the Applicable
Permits described in the applicable Permit Schedule. Except as disclosed
therein, each Applicable Permit listed in Part I(A) of the applicable Permit
Schedule is in full force and effect and is not subject to any current legal
proceeding or to any unsatisfied condition that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or such Project, and all applicable
appeal periods with respect thereto have expired. Each Permit listed in Part
II(A) of the applicable Permit Schedule is either (a) timely obtainable at a
cost consistent with the applicable Project Budget prior to the time the
applicable Project Owner requires such Permit and is of a type that is routinely
granted upon application and that would not normally be obtained before
contemplated by Borrower or the relevant Project Owner or (b) able to be
eliminated as an Applicable Permit through the implementation of alternative
solutions at a cost consistent with the applicable Project Budget. No fact or
circumstance exists, to Borrower's knowledge, which indicates that any Permit
identified in Part II(A) of the applicable Permit Schedule shall not be timely
obtainable at a cost consistent with the applicable Project Budget without
material difficulty or delay by the relevant Project Owner before it becomes an
Applicable Permit. Each Project Owner with respect to an Initial Project or
Funded Subsequent Project is in compliance in all material respects with all
Applicable Permits.

         4.9.2 There are no Permits under existing law as such Project is
designed that are or will become Applicable Third Party Permits other than the
Applicable Third Party Permits described in the applicable Permit Schedule
(other than those, the failure of which to obtain could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or such Project). Except
as disclosed therein, each Applicable Third Party Permit listed in Part I(B) of
the applicable Permit Schedule is in full force and effect and is not subject to
current legal proceeding or to any unsatisfied condition that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or such Project, and
all applicable appeal periods with respect thereto have expired. No fact or
circumstance exists, to Borrower's knowledge, which indicates that any Permit
identified in Part II(B) of the applicable Permit Schedule shall not be timely
obtainable at a cost consistent with the applicable Project Budget without
material difficulty or delay by the applicable Major Project Participant before
it becomes an Applicable Third Party Permit. To the best knowledge of Borrower,
each Major Project Participant is in compliance in all material respects with
its respective Applicable Third Party Permits, each other Major Project
Participant possesses all licenses, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks
and trade names, or rights thereto necessary to perform its duties under the
Operative Documents to which it is a party, and such Person is not in violation
of any valid rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or such
Project.

         4.9.3 To the best knowledge of Borrower, each Turbine Purchase
Contractor possesses all licenses, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks
and trade names, or rights thereto necessary to perform its duties under the
Turbine Purchase Contract to which it is a party, and such Turbine Purchase
Contractor is not in violation of any valid rights of others with

                                       70
<PAGE>   85
respect to any of the foregoing which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

     4.10 Qualifying Facility/Exempt Wholesale Generator. Each Initial Project
and Funded Subsequent Project, upon Completion of such Project, will be a
Qualifying Facility or an Eligible Facility and, from and after the commencement
of commercial operations of each Project that is an Eligible Facility, the
respective Project Owner will be an Exempt Wholesale Generator.

     4.11 Hazardous Substance.

         4.11.1 Except as set forth in Exhibit G-8: (a) neither any Portfolio
Entity nor the Member nor Calpine (the "Subject Companies"), with respect to the
Sites, Improvements or other Mortgaged Properties owned or leased by a Portfolio
Entity, is or has in the past been in violation of any Hazardous Substance Law
which violation could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability
to any of the Subject Companies or their respective properties and assets or in
an inability of any Portfolio Entity to perform its obligations under the
Operative Documents; (b) none of the Subject Companies nor, to the best
knowledge of the Member and Borrower, any third party has used, released,
discharged, generated, manufactured, produced, stored, or disposed of in, on,
under, or about the Sites, Improvements or other Mortgaged Properties owned or
leased by any Portfolio Entity, or transported thereto or therefrom, any
Hazardous Substances that could reasonably be expected to subject the Banks to
liability or the Subject Companies to liability, under any Hazardous Substance
Law; (c) there are no underground tanks, whether operative or temporarily or
permanently closed, located on the Sites, Improvements or other Mortgaged
Properties owned or leased by any Portfolio Entity; (d) there are no Hazardous
Substances used, stored or present at, on or, to the best knowledge of the
Member and Borrower, near the Sites, Improvements or other Mortgaged Properties
owned or leased by any Portfolio Entity, except in compliance with Hazardous
Substance Laws and other Legal Requirements or as disclosed in the Environmental
Reports; and (e) to the best knowledge of the Member and Borrower, there neither
is nor has been any condition, circumstance, action, activity or event that
could reasonably be expected to be a material violation by the Subject Companies
of any Hazardous Substance Law, or to result in liability to the Banks or
material liability to the Subject Companies under any Hazardous Substance Law.

         4.11.2 Except as set forth on Exhibit G-7 or Exhibit G-8, there is no
pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened, action or proceeding
by any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency) or any non-governmental third party with
respect to the presence or Release of Hazardous Substances in, on, from or to
the Sites, Improvements or other Mortgaged Properties owned or leased by any
Portfolio Entity.

         4.11.3 Neither the Member nor Borrower nor Calpine has knowledge of any
past or existing violations of any Hazardous Substances Laws by any Person
relating in any way to the Sites, Improvements or other Mortgaged Properties
owned or leased by any Portfolio Entity.

     4.12 Litigation. Except as set forth on Exhibit G-7 there are no pending
or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened actions or proceedings of any
kind, including actions or

                                       71
<PAGE>   86
proceedings of or before any Governmental Authority, to which any Portfolio
Entity, the Member, Calpine, or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any other
Major Project Participant, Turbine Purchase Contractor or Project is a party or
is subject, or by which any of them or any of their properties or a Project or
Turbine are bound, which if adversely determined to or against any Portfolio
Entity, any other Major Project Participant or a Project or Turbine could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Initial Project,
Funded Subsequent Project or Borrower.

     4.13 Labor Disputes and Acts of God. Neither the business nor the
properties of any Portfolio Entity, the Member, Calpine, or, to the best
knowledge of Borrower, any other Major Project Participant or Turbine Purchase
Contractor are 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), which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Initial
Project, Funded Subsequent Project or Borrower.

     4.14 Project Documents and Turbine Purchase Contracts.

         4.14.1 Copies of all of the Project Documents and Turbine Purchase
Contracts in effect with respect to the Funded Projects and the Funded Turbines,
as the case may be, as of such date have been delivered to Administrative Agent
by Borrower. Except as has been previously disclosed in writing to
Administrative Agent, as of the date of delivery of such Project Documents or
Turbine Purchase Contracts none of such Project Documents or Turbine Purchase
Contracts has been amended, modified or terminated.

         4.14.2 To Borrower's knowledge, the representations and warranties of
the Major Project Participants contained in the Operative Documents relating to
the Initial Projects, the Funded Subsequent Projects, the Turbines assigned to
Initial Projects (as set forth on Exhibit G-3) and the Funded Turbines, as the
case may be, other than this Agreement are true and correct.

     4.15 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any certificate or other
documentation furnished to Administrative Agent, or to any consultant submitting
a report to Administrative Agent, by or, to the knowledge of Borrower, on behalf
of any Portfolio Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the other Project Documents or Turbine Purchase Contracts or the
design, description, testing or operation of a Project or a Turbine, contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not
misleading under the circumstances in which they were made at the time such
statements are made. As of the Closing Date, there is no fact known to Borrower
which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
on Borrower, any Initial Project, or any Funded Subsequent Project which has not
been set forth in this Agreement or in the other documents, certificates and
written statements furnished to Administrative Agent and/or the Independent
Engineer, by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. The documentation furnished to Administrative Agent and to
the Independent Engineer taken as a whole, including without limitation written
updated or supplemented information, is true and correct in all material


                                       72
<PAGE>   87
respects and all such documentation does not omit to state any fact which would
have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, any Initial Project or any Funded
Subsequent Project.

     4.16 Private Offering by Borrower. Assuming that the Banks are acquiring
the Notes for investment purposes only, and not for purposes of resale or
distribution thereof except for assignments or participations as provided in
Sections 10.13 and 10.14, no registration of the Notes under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or under the securities laws of the State of New York, or
any other state in which a Project is located is required in connection with the
offering, issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder. Neither Borrower nor anyone
acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action which would subject the
issuance or sale of the Notes to Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

     4.17 Taxes. The Member and each Portfolio Entity has filed all federal,
state and local tax returns that it is required to file, has paid all taxes it
is required to pay to the extent due (other than those taxes that it is
contesting in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, with adequate,
segregated reserves or other security reasonably acceptable to Administrative
Agent established for such taxes) and, to the extent such taxes are not due, has
established reserves that are adequate for the payment thereof and are required
by GAAP. For federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio Entity other than the
Corporate Portfolio Entities is a partnership or a limited liability company and
not an association taxed as a corporation.

     4.18 Governmental Regulation. Except to the extent that the FPA is
applicable solely by reason of a Portfolio Entity being an Exempt Wholesale
Generator or the owner of a Qualifying Facility, none of any Portfolio Entity,
the Member, Administrative Agent, or the Banks, nor any Affiliate of any of them
will, solely as a result of the construction, ownership, leasing or operation of
any Project or any Turbine, the sale of electricity therefrom or the entering
into any Operative Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby,
be subject to, or not exempt from, regulation under the FPA or PUHCA or under
state laws and regulations respecting the rates or the financial or
organizational regulation of electric utilities. No Portfolio Entity is subject
to regulation under any Governmental Rule as to securities, rates or financial
or organizational matters that would preclude any Loans, or the incurrence by
any Portfolio Entity of any of the Obligations or the execution, delivery and
performance by any Portfolio Entity of the Operative Documents. No Portfolio
Entity will be deemed by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to be
subject to financial, organizational or rate regulation as an "electric
utility," "electric corporation," "electrical company," "public utility,"
"public utility holding company" or any similar entity under any existing law,
rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority.

     4.19 Regulation U, Etc. No Portfolio Entity is engaged principally, or as
one of its principal activities, in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulations T, U
or X of the Federal Reserve Board), and no part of the proceeds of the Loans or
the Project Revenues will be used by a Portfolio Entity to purchase or carry any
such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any such margin stock.

     4.20 Project Budgets; Projections. Borrower has prepared the Project
Budgets and the Base Case Project Projections and is responsible for developing
the assumptions on which the

                                       73
<PAGE>   88
Project Budget and the Base Case Project Projections are based; and the Project
Budgets and the Base Case Project Projections for the Initial Projects and the
Funded Subsequent Projects (a) are based on reasonable assumptions as to all
legal and factual matters material to the estimates set forth therein, (b) as of
the date delivered are consistent with the provisions of the Project Documents
and (c) indicate that the estimated Project Costs with respect to such Project
will not exceed funds available (including Committed Equity Funds) to pay
Project Costs with respect to such Project. In the reasonable opinion of
Borrower, as of the date delivered the textual material accompanying the Base
Case Project Projections for the Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent
Projects discloses all information reasonably necessary for an understanding of
the Base Case Project Projections, and does not contain any material
misstatements or omit any information which, in conjunction with other
information given, would be necessary to make such information not materially
misleading.

     4.21 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Portfolio
Entities, Calpine, the Member and any Affiliated Major Project Participants
delivered pursuant to Sections 3.2.22, 3.3.23, 3.5.15 and 5.5 are true, complete
and correct and fairly present the financial condition of each such Person as of
the date thereof. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Portfolio Entities, the Member, Calpine or such
Affiliated Major Project Participants has any material liabilities, direct or
contingent, except as has been disclosed in such financial statements.

     4.22 Existing Defaults. No Portfolio Entity is in default under any
material term of any Operative Document relating to the Initial Projects, the
Funded Subsequent Projects, the Turbines assigned to Initial Projects (as set
forth on Exhibit G-3) or the Funded Turbines or any agreement relating to any
obligation of any Portfolio Entity for or with respect to borrowed money, and to
the best of Borrower's knowledge, no other party to any Project Document or
Turbine Purchase Contract is in default thereunder.

     4.23 No Default. No Event of Default, Inchoate Default, Non-Fundamental
Project Default or Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default has occurred or is
existing.

     4.24 Offices, Location of Collateral.

         4.24.1 The chief executive office or chief place of business (as such
term is used in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in each
state where the Projects are located and the State of New York from time to

valid and subsisting first priority Lien of record on all the Mortgaged
Properties relating to the Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects
described in the Deeds of Trust and, a first priority perfected security
interest in all the personal property relating to the Funded Projects and the
Funded Turbines described in the Collateral Documents, subject to no Liens
except Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Liens described in clauses (a), (b)

Project/Turbine Owner Security Agreements, the Lien on the Collateral comprising
each Project or Turbine shall not secure those Obligations relating to or
arising from Projects that have achieved Operation prior to the relevant Funding
Date or Turbine Funding Date, as the case may be.

     4.26 Trademarks. Each Portfolio Entity owns or has the right to use all
patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other
rights, which are necessary for the operation of its business. Nothing has come

pursuant to the Collateral Documents in the Collateral related to the Initial
Contribution, the Funded Projects (including equipment leased to a Project Owner
pursuant to an Equipment Lease) and the Funded Turbines (a) constitute as to
personal property included in the Collateral and, with respect to subsequently
acquired personal property included in the Collateral, will constitute, a
perfected security interest under the UCC to the extent a security interest can
be perfected by filing or, in the case of the Accounts, the Portfolio Entity
Notes and the Pledged Equity Interests (the Pledged Equity Interests being
"certificated securities" as defined in Article 8 of the UCC), by possession by
or on behalf of the secured party and (b) are, and, with respect to such
subsequently acquired personal property, will be, as to Collateral related to
the Initial Contribution, the Funded Projects (including equipment leased to a
Project Owner pursuant to an Equipment Lease) and the Funded Turbines perfected
under the UCC as aforesaid, superior and prior to the rights of all third
Persons now existing or hereafter arising whether by way of mortgage, lien,
security interests, encumbrance, assignment or otherwise; provided, however, as
set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Lien on the Collateral comprising
each Project (including equipment leased to a Project Owner pursuant to an
Equipment Lease) or Turbine shall not secure those Obligations relating to or
arising from Projects that have achieved

                                       76
<PAGE>   91
Operation prior to the relevant Funding Date or Turbine Funding Date, as the
case may be. Except to the extent possession of portions of such Collateral is
required for perfection, all such action as is necessary has been taken to
establish and perfect Administrative Agent's rights in and to such Collateral to
the extent Administrative Agent's security interest can be perfected by filing,
including any recording, filing, registration, giving of notice or other similar
action. No filing, recordation, re-filing or re-recording other than those
listed on Exhibit D-6 hereto is necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection
of the interest, title or Liens of the Collateral Documents related to the
Initial Contribution, the Funded Projects (including equipment leased to a
Project Owner pursuant to an Equipment Lease) and the Funded Turbines, and all
such filings or recordings will have been made to the extent Administrative
Agent's security interest can be perfected by filing. Each Portfolio Entity has
properly delivered or caused to be delivered to Administrative Agent all such
Collateral that requires perfection of the Lien and security interest described
above by possession.

     5.10 Four-Quarter Portfolio Interest Coverage Ratio; Maximum Debt to
Capitalization Ratio.

                  (a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45
days after (a) the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, calculate and
deliver to Administrative Agent the Four-Quarter Portfolio Interest Coverage
Ratio. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing of any suggested

Borrower shall incorporate all such corrections, changes or adjustment as
Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate.

                  (b) (i) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than

such other times as required under this Agreement, calculate and deliver to
Administrative Agent the Debt to Capitalization Ratio based on the financial
statements so delivered. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing
of any suggested corrections, changes or adjustments which should be made to
such ratio calculations within five days after receipt. Borrower shall
incorporate all such corrections, changes or adjustments as Administrative Agent
reasonably deems appropriate.

                         (ii) Borrower shall maintain, as of the end of each
calendar quarter (after giving effect to any Construction Credit Event and/or
the Turbine Purchase Credit

                                       85
<PAGE>   100
Event as of the end of each such calendar quarter), a Debt to Capitalization
Ratio of no more than the Maximum Debt to Capitalization Ratio.

                  (c) For purposes of this Agreement, Borrower shall calculate
the Four-Quarter Portfolio Interest Coverage Ratio and the Debt to
Capitalization Ratio without taking into account the EBITDA produced by, or the
Contributions with respect to, a Project (i) where a Non-Fundamental Project
Default or Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to such Project, (ii) where, in the case of Projects
Five Through Twelve, a condition precedent deferred in accordance with Section
3.13 shall not have been satisfied or waived by such Project's scheduled
Completion Date (as set forth in such Project's Project Schedule) or (iii) that
is an Unfunded Project.

     5.11 Indemnification.

         5.11.1 Indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent and
each Bank, and in their capacities as such, their respective officers,
directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees, agents and servants
(collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against and reimburse the Indemnitees
for:

                  (a) any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, losses,
damages, injuries (to person, property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp
or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) of whatever kind or nature, whether or not well
founded, meritorious or unmeritorious, demanded, asserted or claimed against any
such Indemnitee (collectively, "Subject Claims") in any way relating to, or
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Operative
Documents, any Project or any Turbine, except for claims by a Portfolio Entity
against an Indemnitee;

                  (b) any and all Subject Claims arising in connection with the
release or presence of any Hazardous Substances at any Project, whether
foreseeable or unforeseeable, including all costs of removal and disposal of
such Hazardous Substances, all reasonable costs required to be incurred in (i)
determining whether any Project is in compliance and (ii) causing each Project
to be in compliance, with all applicable Legal Requirements, all reasonable
costs associated with claims for damages to persons or property, and reasonable
attorneys' and consultants' fees and court costs; and

                  (c) any and all Subject Claims in any way relating to, or
arising out of or in connection with any claims, suits, liabilities against any
Portfolio Entity, the Member, Calpine or any of their Affiliates.

         5.11.2 The foregoing indemnities shall not apply with respect to an
Indemnitee, to the extent arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee, but shall continue to apply to other Indemnitees.

         5.11.3 The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive foreclosure of
the Collateral Documents and satisfaction or discharge of the Portfolio Entities
obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and shall be in
addition to any other rights and remedies of the Banks.


                                       86
<PAGE>   101
         5.11.4 In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against
any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of the commencement
thereof, and Borrower shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through counsel
reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee, to participate in, and, to the extent
that Borrower desires, to assume and control the defense thereof. Such
Indemnitee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any action, suit
or proceeding the defense of which has been assumed by Borrower. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower shall not be entitled to assume and control the defenses
of any such action, suit or proceedings if and to the extent that, in the
reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee and its counsel, such action, suit or
proceeding involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon such
Indemnitee or a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and Borrower or
between such Indemnitee and another Indemnitee (unless such conflict of interest
is waived in writing by the affected Indemnitees), and in such event (other than
with respect to disputes between such Indemnitee and another Indemnitee)
Borrower shall pay the reasonable expenses of such Indemnitee in such defense.

         5.11.5 Borrower shall report to such Indemnitee on the status of such
action, suit or proceeding as material developments shall occur and from time to
time as requested by such Indemnitee (but not more frequently than every 60
days). Borrower shall deliver to such Indemnitee a copy of each document filed
or served on any party in such action, suit or proceeding, and each material
document which Borrower possesses relating to such action, suit or proceeding.

         5.11.6 (a) Notwithstanding Borrower's rights hereunder to control
certain actions, suits or proceedings, if any Indemnitee reasonably determines
that failure to compromise or settle any Subject Claim made against such
Indemnitee is reasonably likely to have an imminent and material adverse effect
on such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall be entitled (and Borrower shall cause
other relevant Portfolio Entity to agree to the same) to compromise or settle
such Subject Claim.

                (b) Notwithstanding Borrower's rights hereunder to control
certain actions, suits or proceedings, if the Required Banks reasonably
determine that failure to compromise or settle any Subject Claim made against
such Indemnitee is reasonably likely to have an imminent and material adverse
effect on Borrower or any Project, such Indemnitee or the Required Banks, as the
case may be, shall provide Borrower with written notice of a proposed compromise
or settlement of such claim specifying in detail the nature and amount of such
proposed settlement or compromise. Borrower (and any other relevant Portfolio
Entity) shall be deemed to have approved such proposed compromise or settlement
unless, within 30 days after the date Borrower receives such notice of intended
compromise or settlement, Borrower provides such Indemnitee or the Required
Banks, as the case may be, with (i) a written legal analysis from counsel
reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee or Required Banks, as the case may be,
reasonably concluding that, based on the magnitude of the Subject Claim, the
legal basis for such Subject Claim, and/or the cost of defending such Subject
Claim, the amount of such proposed settlement or compromise is not within a
reasonable range of settlements or compromises for such Subject Claim, and
indicating, based on such factors, such counsel's view as to the appropriate
amount of a reasonable settlement or compromise for such Subject Claim (the
"Settlement Amount"). If the Indemnitee or the Required Banks, as the case may
be, receives such legal analysis required by this Section within such 30-day
period, the Indemnitee

                                       87
<PAGE>   102
or the Required Banks, as the case may be, may elect to settle or compromise
such Subject Claim and Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all
amounts of such compromise or settlement up to 125% of the Settlement Amount,
such Indemnitee shall be responsible for payment of all amounts of such
compromise or settlement in excess of such 125% limit and such compromise or
settlement shall be binding upon Borrower. If Borrower does not provide such
legal analysis within such period, or if such legal analysis is not reasonable,
in the reasonable determination of such Indemnitee or the Required Banks, as the
case may be, such Indemnitee may settle or compromise such Subject Claim (and
Borrower shall cause any other relevant Portfolio Entity to agree to the same)
and shall be fully indemnified by Borrower therefor. Such Indemnitee or the
Required Banks, as the case may be, shall not otherwise settle or compromise any
such Subject Claim other than at its own expense.

         5.11.7 Upon payment of any Subject Claim by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 5.11 or other similar indemnity provisions contained herein to or on
behalf of an Indemnitee, Borrower, without any further action, shall be
subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto,
and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with Borrower and give such further
assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable Borrower vigorously to pursue
such claims.

         5.11.8 Any amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.11
shall be regularly payable within 30 days after Borrower receives an invoice for
such amounts from any applicable Indemnitee, and if not paid within such 30-day
period shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

         5.11.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
Borrower shall not, in connection with any one legal proceeding or claim, or
separate but related proceedings or claims arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, in which the interests of the Indemnitees do not
materially differ, be liable to the Indemnitees (or any of them) under any of
the provisions set forth in this Section 5.11 for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys (which firm shall be selected by the
affected Indemnitees, or upon failure to so select, by Administrative Agent).

         5.11.10 If, for any reason whatsoever, the indemnification provided
under this Section 5.11 is unavailable to any Indemnitee or is insufficient to
hold it harmless to the extent provided in this Section 5.11, then provided such
payment is not prohibited by or contrary to any applicable Governmental Rule,
Legal Requirement or public policy, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of the Subject Claim in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of
Borrower and its Affiliates on the one hand, and such Indemnitee on the other
hand, in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative
fault of Borrower (and its Affiliates) and such Indemnitee with respect to such
Subject Claim, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

     5.12 Qualifying Facility/Exempt Wholesale Generator. With respect to each
Project, take or cause to be taken all necessary or appropriate actions (a) so
that such Project will, from and after commercial operations of such Project,
either be a Qualifying Facility or an Eligible Facility until all Obligations
due the Banks under the Credit Documents have been paid in full unless such
Project's failure to be a Qualifying Facility or Eligible Facility, as the case
may be,

                                       88
<PAGE>   103
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such
Project, and (b) except to the extent that the FPA is applicable solely by
reason of the relevant Project Owner being the owner of a Qualifying Facility or
an Exempt Wholesale Generator, to maintain such Project Owner's and such
Project's exemptions from regulation under the FPA (unless failure to so
maintain such exemptions could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on Borrower or such Project) and PUHCA (except regulations
specifically applicable to an Exempt Wholesale Generator or a Qualifying
Facility) or, if Calpine or its successor or Borrower becomes a registered
holding company under PUHCA, as a subsidiary of such registered holding company.

     5.13 Construction of Each Project. With respect to each Initial Project and
Funded Subsequent Project, cause such Project to be constructed and equipped
substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, Construction
Contracts, other Project Documents, Project Budget and the Project Schedule for
such Project as the same may be amended from time to time pursuant to Section
6.13.

     5.14 Completion. With respect to each Initial Project and Funded Subsequent
Project, achieve Completion and Final Completion of such Project in a timely and
diligent manner in accordance with the Project Schedule, Project Budget,
Construction Contracts and Plans and Specifications of such Project as the same
may be extended and, in the case of Completion, in no event later than the
guaranteed completion date set therefor in such Project's Project Schedule
(which shall be extended as the result of the occurrence of events of force
majeure for additional periods up to an aggregate of 180 days).

     5.15 Operation of Projects and Annual Operating Budget. With respect to
each Initial Project and Funded Subsequent Project:

         5.15.1 (a) Keep such Project, after Completion thereof, or cause the
same to be kept, in good operating condition consistent with Prudent Utility
Practices, all Applicable Permits (and, if applicable, Applicable Third Party
Permits), Legal Requirements and the Operative Documents, and make or cause to
be made all repairs (structural and non-structural, extraordinary or ordinary)
necessary to keep such Project in such condition; and (b) operate such Project,
after Completion thereof, or cause the same to be operated, in a manner
consistent with Prudent Utility Practices and in compliance with the terms of
the Power Purchase Documents so as to assure, to the extent reasonably possible,
the maximum generation of net revenue for such Project consistent with the Power
Purchase Documents.

         5.15.2 On or before 60 days prior to the first day of the month in
which Completion of such Project occurs or is anticipated to occur and 60 days
prior to the first day of each calendar year thereafter, submit to
Administrative Agent a draft operating plan and a budget, detailed by month for
such Project, of anticipated revenues and anticipated expenditures, such budget
to include debt service (if applicable), proposed distributions, maintenance,
repair and operation expenses (including reasonable allowance for
contingencies), Major Maintenance, reserves and all other anticipated O&M Costs
for such Project for the remainder of the calendar year for the first such plan
and budget and for the ensuing calendar year for each other such plan and budget
and, in the case of Major Maintenance in accordance with Section 5.15.3, to the
conclusion of the second full calendar year thereafter (each such annual
operating plan and

                                       89
<PAGE>   104
budget with respect to each Project and for all the Projects as a whole, an
"Annual Operating Budget"). Each Annual Operating Budget shall be subject to the
reasonable approval of Administrative Agent and the Independent Engineer.
Failure by Administrative Agent to approve or disapprove such draft Annual
Operating Budget within 30 days after receipt thereof shall be deemed to be an
approval by Administrative Agent of such draft. Borrower shall incorporate
Administrative Agent's suggestions into a final Annual Operating Budget, which,
subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 5.15.2, shall be
prepared no less than 30 days in advance of each fiscal year. The O&M Costs in
each Annual Operating Budget which are subject to escalation limitations in the
Project Documents shall not, absent extraordinary circumstances, be increased by
more than the amounts provided in such Project Documents. Borrower shall
continue to operate and maintain such Project, or cause such Project to be
operated and maintained, within amounts not to exceed 115% of the aggregate
amounts set forth in the applicable Annual Operating Budget; provided, however,
the costs for fuel shall not be limited by the Annual Operating Budget. Pending
approval of any Annual Operating Budget in accordance with the terms of this
Section 5.15.2, Borrower shall continue to operate and maintain such Project, or
cause such Project to be operated and maintained, within the Annual Operating
Budget for such Project then in effect; provided that the amounts specified
therein shall be increased by the amounts specified in the Project Documents.

         5.15.3 Replace the Operator of such Project if such Operator is not
operating such Project in accordance with the provisions hereof or the
applicable O&M Agreement, Power Purchase Documents or any other agreement or
instrument under which the relevant Project Owner holds title, an easement or a
leasehold to the applicable Site, the Easements or the Collateral, and such
failure could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such
Project, upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent (after consultation
with Borrower) to the effect that, in the opinion of the Required Banks and the
Independent Engineer, said Operator has failed to perform any material
obligations set forth above; provided, however, that the Operator may have 30
days from Borrower's receipt of notice to cure said failure (or to establish to
the satisfaction of the Required Banks that a failure does not exist); provided,
further, that if such failure cannot be corrected within such 30 days, the
Required Banks will not unreasonably withhold their consent to an extension of
such time if corrective action is promptly instituted by such Operator within
the 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursued until the failure is
corrected and such extension shall not have a Material Adverse Effect on such
Project.

     5.16 Preservation of Rights; Further Assurances.

         5.16.1 Preserve, protect and defend the rights of the Portfolio
Entities under each material Project Document relating to the Initial Projects
and the Funded Subsequent Projects and under each Turbine Purchase Contract
relating to the Turbines assigned to Initial Projects (as set forth on Exhibit
G-3) and the Funded Turbines, including prosecution of suits to enforce any
rights of the Portfolio Entities thereunder and enforcement of any claims with
respect thereto; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default if Administrative Agent requests that certain
actions be taken and the Portfolio Entities fail to take the requested actions
within five Banking Days and such failure reasonably could be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, any such Project or any such Turbine,
Administrative Agent may enforce in its own name or in the relevant Portfolio
Entity's name, such rights of any Portfolio Entity.


                                       90
<PAGE>   105
         5.16.2 From time to time, execute, acknowledge, record, register,
deliver and/or file all such notices, statements, instruments and other
documents (including any memorandum of lease or other agreement, financing
statement, continuation statement, certificate of title or estoppel
certificate), relating to the Loans stating the interest and charges then due
and any known defaults, and take such other steps as may be necessary or
advisable to render fully valid and enforceable under all applicable laws the
rights, liens and priorities of the Banks with respect to all Collateral and
other security from time to time furnished under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents or intended to be so furnished, including (x) granting Liens,
subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens, in favor of Administrative
Agent, in any Project or portion thereof not part of the Collateral and (y)
causing its partners, members or shareholders, as the case may be, to grant a
first priority Lien to Administrative Agent in all the ownership interests in a
Portfolio Entity, in each case to the extent permitted, without any waivers, and
consistently with the characterization of the Debt incurred and Liens granted
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, under the Calpine Indenture, in
each case in such form and at such times as shall be satisfactory to
Administrative Agent, and pay all fees and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incident to compliance with this Section 5.16.2.

         5.16.3 Subject to Section 6.23, if a Portfolio Entity shall at any time
acquire any real property or leasehold or other interest in real property
related to a Funded Project not covered by the Deeds of Trust, promptly upon
such acquisition (or on the Closing Date if such acquisition occurred prior
thereto) in furtherance of the Lien on the Project and related Collateral
granted on the respective Funding Date execute, deliver and record a supplement
to the applicable Deed of Trust or, if necessary, execute, deliver and record a
new Deed of Trust, satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent,
subjecting the real property or leasehold or other interests so acquired to a
lien and security interest in favor of Administrative Agent and the Banks,
subject only to Permitted Liens and other exceptions to title approved by
Administrative Agent, securing all of the relevant Portfolio Entity's
Obligations under the Credit Documents other than such Obligations relating to
Projects that have achieved Operation prior to the execution of such Deed of
Trust. If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall obtain an
appropriate endorsement or supplement to the applicable Title Policy or procure
a new Title Policy insuring the Lien of the Banks in such additional property,
subject only to Permitted Liens and other exceptions to title approved by
Administrative Agent, and shall obtain subordination and nondisturbance
agreements from applicable third parties to the extent reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent.

         5.16.4 Perform, upon the request of Administrative Agent, such
reasonable acts as may be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents.

         5.16.5 Cause the Pledged Equity Interests to be "certificated
securities" as defined in Article 8 of the UCC and include in each appropriate
Portfolio Entity's constituent documents terms, in each case consistent with
Section 8-103(c) of the UCC, to the effect that the corresponding Pledged Equity
Interests are "securities" (as such term is defined in Article 8 of the UCC)
governed by Article 8 of the UCC.

     5.17 Project Equity.


                                       91
<PAGE>   106
         5.17.1 (a) Make or cause to be made Contributions with respect to
Funded Projects in an amount equal to the Required Contribution Percentage of
the aggregate Project Costs in respect to which Borrower has requested Loans at
such time, such Contributions to be made at the time of each Borrowing and (b)
make or cause to be made Contributions with respect to Funded Projects in an
amount equal to any or all income taxes due or owing by Borrower and each other
Portfolio Entity within 10 days after such payment becoming due (all
Contributions pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, the "Base Equity").
Borrower may deposit some or all of the Base Equity with Administrative Agent as
provided in Section 3.10. In such event, Administrative Agent shall deposit the
Base Equity into the relevant Construction Sub-Accounts at Administrative
Agent's New York office pursuant to the Depositary Agreement. From time to time
following the deposits of such amounts, Borrower shall have the right to request
that Administrative Agent transfer amounts from the relevant Construction
Sub-Accounts to pay Costs upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in
Section 3.10(a).

         5.17.2 At such time, if ever as the Available Construction Funds are
less than the remaining Project Costs to be incurred or paid to achieve Final
Completion of the Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects, then
promptly thereafter deposit or cause to be deposited with Administrative Agent,
Contributions in an amount equal to all such further Project Costs, such
Contributions to be made on or before the date such Project Costs are due to be
paid ("Additional Borrower Equity"). All such Additional Borrower Equity
proceeds shall be deposited in the relevant Construction Sub-Accounts
established pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof and applied, after satisfaction of
the requirements set forth in Section 3.10(a), to pay Project Costs.

         5.17.3 Upon an acceleration of Loans pursuant to Section 8.2.5,
promptly make or cause to be made Contributions in an amount equal to (x) the
Committed Equity Funds that have not yet been contributed and that would have
otherwise been contributed with respect to all remaining Costs for Funded
Projects and (y) to the extent required by Section 6.4.2(i), an amount equal to
the aggregate remaining progress payments to be made for Funded Turbines at the
time of such acceleration.

     5.18 Maintenance of Insurance. With respect to each Initial Project, Funded
Subsequent Project, Turbines assigned to Initial Projects (as set forth on
Exhibit G-3), without cost to the Banks, maintain or cause to be maintained on
its behalf in effect at all times the types of insurance required pursuant to
Exhibit K, in the amounts and on the terms and conditions specified therein,
with insurance companies rated "A-" or better, with a minimum size rating of
"IX," by Best's Insurance Guide and Key Ratings, (or an equivalent rating by
another nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if
Best's Insurance Guide and Key Ratings shall no longer be published) or other
insurance companies of recognized responsibility satisfactory to Administrative
Agent.

     5.19 Taxes and Other Government Charges. With respect to each Initial
Project, Funded Subsequent Project, and, to the extent required by the
applicable Turbine Purchase Contract, Turbine assigned to an Initial Project (as
set forth on Exhibit G-3) and Funded Turbine, pay, or cause to be paid, as and
when due and prior to delinquency, all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges of any kind that may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied against

procedures to ensure continued compliance with the same. The Portfolio Entities
may contest in good faith any such taxes, assessments and other charges and, in
such event, may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges so contested to

sufficient to pay any such taxes, assessments or other charges, accrued interest
thereon and potential penalties or other costs relating thereto, or other
adequate provision for the payment thereof shall have been made, (b) enforcement

Project.

     5.23 Revenue Payment to Borrower. Use good faith reasonable efforts to
include, or cause to be included, in each Major Project Document or Consent

or an Equipment Finance Company party to an Equipment Lease with respect to a
Funded Project from a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower to
Borrower or another direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower.

         6.4.2 (a) In the event the Non-Affiliated Parent with respect to the
Project Owner of a Designated Project exercises its right to have a Designated
Project refinanced and/or to have Borrower or another applicable Portfolio
Entity transfer its interest in a Designated Project to another subsidiary of
Calpine (other than a Portfolio Entity), Borrower shall be permitted to have
such Designated Project (including the related Project Owner and Pledged Equity
Interests and any related assets) released from the Lien and obligations of the
Collateral Documents and to implement a transfer of such Designated Project
(whether pursuant to a refinancing or otherwise), notwithstanding the existence

Portfolio Entities, as the case may be (including the Lien on cash flows from
such Project), and to permit such release and transfer of ownership.

                  (b) In the event that the Non-Affiliated Parent with respect
to a Designated Project exercises its right to restructure the ownership
interests in such Designated Project into direct undivided ownership interests
(provided, after such restructuring, (x) such Non-Affiliated Parent owns no more
than a 50% direct undivided ownership interest in such Project and (y) the
remaining direct undivided ownership interest in such Project is held by a
Portfolio Entity that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by Borrower), then
the relevant Portfolio Entity shall, notwithstanding the existence of an Event
of Default or an Inchoate Default, be permitted to implement such restructuring
and the Banks shall consent to such restructuring on the conditions that:

                         (i) The relevant Portfolio Entity and such
Non-Affiliated Parent enter into a Joint Venture Agreement relating to the joint
ownership and joint operation of such Project, and Borrower delivers or causes
to be delivered documents and instruments similar to those contemplated for
partially owned Projects similar to such Project pursuant to Section 3.3 as will
permit the Banks, to the greatest extent possible, to maintain a first priority
perfected Lien on the remaining Collateral owned by the relevant Project Owner
in respect of such Project (including without limitation any Joint Venture
Agreement described in this clause (i) above) and exercise remedies with respect
to such Collateral (with the benefit of lender protective provisions), including
without limitation, to the extent applicable (A) all necessary amendments to the
relevant Project/Turbine Owner Security Agreement (to include, without
limitation, the Joint Venture Agreement described in this clause (i) above in
the Collateral subject thereto), Deed of Trust, Pledge Agreements (Pledged
Equity Interests) and Project Owner Guaranty, (B) an agreement consenting to the
pledge by the relevant Portfolio Entity of its interest in the Joint Venture
Agreement as contemplated in this clause (i) above and an agreement by such
Non-Affiliated Parent recognizing the Banks as its counterparty in the event
that the Banks shall exercise remedies (including foreclosure) on the Collateral
with respect to such Project, and (C) any other customary lender protective
agreements or provisions, all of which documents and instruments shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to the Technical Committee; and

                         (ii) Borrower uses any and all amounts paid by such
Non-Affiliated Parent for such interest in such Project and, to the extent
necessary, makes additional Contributions to prepay the Loans in an amount equal
to the greater of (A) the amount necessary to cause Borrower's Debt to
Capitalization Ratio not to exceed the Applicable Debt to Capitalization Ratio
then in effect and (B) the net proceeds of such restructuring.

Upon the satisfaction of each of the foregoing conditions, as applicable,
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Borrower, subject to the
provisions of clause (i) above, such documents and instruments, including UCC-3
termination statements, deeds of reconveyance, amendments of Portfolio Entity
Notes and amendments of the applicable Project Owner Guaranty, and shall return
any Pledged Equity Interests owned by such Non-Affiliated Parent, free and clear
of the Liens imposed by the Collateral Documents, all as reasonably may be
necessary to release its Lien on the portion of the Collateral (including
related cash flows) that is intended to be transferred in connection with such
restructuring.

                  (c) In the event that (x) a Project Document for a Funded
Subsequent Project gives any party thereto (other than a Portfolio Entity) the
unilateral right to acquire an undivided direct ownership interest in the
relevant Project (but not more than a 50% undivided direct ownership interest)
and (y) such party exercises such right, then the relevant Portfolio Entity
shall be permitted to implement such sale to the extent required under the
relevant Project Document and the Banks shall consent to the acquisition of such
Project or interest therein on the conditions that:

                         (i) The relevant Portfolio Entity and such third party
enter into a Joint Venture Agreement relating to the joint ownership and joint
operation of such Project, and Borrower delivers or causes to be delivered
documents and instruments similar to those contemplated for partially owned
Projects similar to such Project pursuant to Section 3.3 as will permit the
Banks, to the greatest extent possible pursuant to the terms of the purchase
option, to maintain a first priority perfected Lien on the remaining Collateral
owned by the relevant Project Owner in respect of such Project (including
without limitation the Joint Venture Agreement described in this clause (i)
above) and exercise remedies with respect to such Collateral (with the benefit
of lender protective provisions), including without limitation, to the extent
applicable (A) all necessary amendments to the relevant Project/Turbine Owner
Security Agreement (to include, without limitation, the Joint Venture Agreement
described in this clause (i) above in the Collateral subject thereto), Deed of
Trust, Pledge Agreements (Pledged Equity Interests) and Project Owner Guaranty,
(B) an agreement consenting to the pledge by the relevant Portfolio Entity of
its interest in the Joint Venture Agreement as contemplated in this clause (i)
above and an agreement by such third party recognizing the Banks as its
counterparty in the event that the Banks shall exercise remedies (including
foreclosure) on the Collateral with respect to such Project, and (C) any other
customary lender protective agreements or provisions, all of which documents and
instruments shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Technical
Committee; and

                         (ii) Borrower uses the entire amount of the purchase
price paid by such Person for such interest in such Project and, to the extent
necessary, makes additional Contributions to prepay the Loans in an amount equal
to the greater of (A) the book value of the pro rata percentage of such Project
purchased by such Person calculated in accordance with GAAP and (B) the net
proceeds of such sale.

Upon the satisfaction of each of the foregoing conditions, as applicable,
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Borrower, subject to the
provisions of clause (i) above, such documents and instruments, including UCC-3
termination statements, deeds of reconveyance, amendments of Portfolio Entity
Notes and amendments of the applicable Project Owner Guaranty, and shall return
related Pledged Equity Interests, all as reasonably may be necessary to release
its Lien on the portion of the Collateral (including related cash flows) that is
intended to be transferred in connection with such sale.

                  (e) In the event that (x) a Project Document for a Funded
Subsequent Project or a Substituted Initial Project gives any party thereto the
unilateral right to acquire no more than 33% of the equity interests in the
Project Owner with respect to such Project and (y) such party exercises such
right, then Borrower shall be permitted to implement such sale to the extent
required under the relevant Project Document, notwithstanding the existence of
an Event of Default or Inchoate Default, and the Banks shall consent to
acquisition of such interest, subject to the Liens imposed by the Collateral
Documents, on the conditions that:

                         (i) Such party, in its capacity as a Non-Affiliated
Parent, shall execute and/or deliver to Administrative Agent (A) a Pledge
Agreement (Pledged Equity Interests) and its Pledged Equity Interests with
respect to such Project Owner in accordance therewith, (B) documents and
instruments similar to those contemplated for Non-Affiliated Parents pursuant to
Section 3; and

                         (ii) Borrower uses the entire amount of the purchase
price paid by such Person for such interest in such Project Owner to prepay the
Loans.

Upon the satisfaction of each of the foregoing conditions, Administrative Agent
shall execute and deliver to Borrower such documents and instruments as
reasonably may be necessary to enable such Person to acquire such equity
interests in such Project Owner, subject to the Liens imposed by the Collateral
Documents; provided, however, that in no event shall any such document or
instrument affect or deprive the Banks from having a perfected, first priority
Lien on all of the relevant Project Owner's right, title and interest in and to
such Project (including the cash flows therefrom).

                  (f) Borrower shall be permitted to implement sale-leaseback or
similar tax-related financing with respect to the Oneta Energy Center Project
and two other Projects, on the conditions that (i) at the time of the closing of
such a sale-leaseback or similar tax-related financing, if such Project is an
Initial Project, Borrower identifies a Substituted Initial Project to

                                       98
<PAGE>   113
replace such Project (such Substituted Initial Project to satisfy the
requirements of the definition thereof) (in which case such Substituted Initial
Project shall be deemed an Initial Project and Appendixes G-1, G-2 and G-3, as
appropriate, shall be amended to reflect the foregoing and such Substituted
Initial Project shall thereafter be funded with Construction Loans in accordance
with Section 5.25.2), (ii) concurrently with the closing of each sale-leaseback
or similar tax-related financing Borrower uses all of the net proceeds of such
financing and, to the extent necessary, makes additional Contributions to prepay
the Loans in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the book value of the
relevant Project calculated in accordance with GAAP and (B) the net proceeds of
such financing, (iii) no Inchoate Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, (iv) Borrower's Four-Quarter Portfolio Interest Coverage Ratio as
of the most recent calendar quarter shall equal or exceed [*] to 1.00, and (v)
Borrower's Debt to Capitalization Ratio as of the most recent calendar quarter
shall be no higher than the Maximum Debt to Capitalization Ratio. Upon
satisfaction of each of the foregoing conditions Administrative Agent shall
execute and deliver to Borrower such documents and instruments, including UCC-3
termination statements, deeds of reconveyance, shall return, cancel and
terminate any applicable Portfolio Entity Note and Project Owner Guaranty, and
shall return all related Pledged Equity Interests, free and clear of the Liens
imposed by the Collateral Documents, all as reasonably may be necessary to
release the Liens granted to the Banks in such Project and the related Portfolio
Entities, as the case may be (including the Lien on cash flows from such
Project), and to permit such transfer of ownership.

                  (g) Borrower shall have the right in its sole discretion
without payment of additional consideration or any mandatory prepayment of Loans
to have any Unfunded Subsequent Project transferred to another Person or Persons
(whether by sale of assets or equity), and the Banks shall promptly consent to
the transfer of such Project and/or related Project Owner, as the case may be,
notwithstanding the existence of an Inchoate Default or Event of Default or any
other circumstance or condition whatsoever. Upon receipt of notice from
Borrower, Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Borrower such
documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to permit such transfer
of ownership.

                  (h) In the event a Project to which a Turbine is assigned (as
set forth in Exhibit G-3) is transferred and/or released pursuant to this
Section 6.4 or if Borrower elects not to proceed with the development of an
Unfunded Subsequent Project, (i) Borrower shall have the right in its discretion
to have such Turbine released from the Liens of the Collateral Documents and to
transfer ownership of such Turbine to another Person or Persons, and the Banks
shall promptly release such Turbine and consent to its transfer to another
Person or Persons upon written notice to Administrative Agent, so long as
Borrower shall prepay the aggregate principal amount of all Turbine Purchase
Loans (if any) made hereunder to pay Turbine Costs related to such Turbine (with
amounts other than amounts in any Account or otherwise constituting Collateral),
(ii) Borrower shall have the right at its discretion, upon written notice to
Administrative Agent, to have such Turbine assigned to another Project, in which
case Exhibit G-3 shall be amended to reflect such assignment, or (iii) subject
to Section 6.4.2(g), Borrower shall have the right at its discretion to make
Contributions to pay Turbine Costs with respect to such Turbine in accordance
with Section 3.10(a) until such time as Borrower selects either clause (i) or
(ii) above with respect to such Turbine, and until such time as Borrower selects
clause (ii) above with respect to such Turbine, if ever, such Turbine will not
be eligible to receive Turbine Purchase Loans for the payment of Turbine Costs
associated thereto. Upon receipt of a notice

                                       99
<PAGE>   114
under clause (i) above requesting the release of any such Turbine and compliance
with the conditions thereto, Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and
deliver to Borrower such documents and instruments as may be reasonably
necessary to release such Turbine from the Liens of the Collateral Documents and
to permit such transfer of ownership.

                         (i) (i) In the event the Loans are accelerated pursuant
to Section 8.2.5, at the election of the Required Banks, Borrower shall, or
shall cause Calpine to, make either (A) Contributions in an amount equal to the
aggregate remaining payments to be made under the Turbine Purchase Contracts
with respect to Turbines that have not been assigned to Funded Projects or (B)
all remaining payments under the applicable Turbine Purchase Contracts with
respect to Funded Turbines that have not been assigned to Funded Projects, and
(ii) if on the date that is 30 days prior to the Turbine Delivery Date with
respect to any Turbine, the Project to which such Turbine has been assigned (as
set forth on Exhibit G-3) is not a Funded Project, Borrower shall, or shall
cause Calpine to, make all remaining payments under the applicable Turbine
Purchase Contract with respect to such Turbine (with amounts other than amounts
in any Account or otherwise constituting Collateral), and Borrower and/or the
applicable Portfolio Entities shall grant Administrative Agent a Lien on the
Collateral related to the Unfunded Project to which such Turbine is assigned (as
set forth on Exhibit G-3) securing all outstanding Loans hereunder other than
Loans attributable to Projects which have achieved Operation prior to the date
such Lien is granted; provided, however, that in any such case, Borrower shall
have the right in its discretion to prepay or cause to be prepaid the aggregate
amount of outstanding Turbine Purchase Loans attributable to such Turbine(s)
(with amounts other than amounts in any Account or otherwise constituting
Collateral) and, upon Administrative Agent's receipt of such payment, to have
such Turbine(s) released from the Liens of the Collateral Documents and to
transfer ownership of such Turbine(s) to Calpine. If Borrower exercises the
right in the foregoing proviso, upon prepayment in full of all such Turbine
Purchase Loans, the Banks shall promptly release such Turbine(s) and consent to
the transfer of such Turbine(s) to Calpine, and Administrative Agent shall
promptly execute and deliver to Borrower such documents and instruments as may
be reasonably necessary to release such Turbine(s) from the Liens of the
Collateral Documents and to permit such transfer(s) of ownership.

                  (j) In the event that Borrower is unable, after using
commercially reasonable efforts, to satisfy the conditions precedent for initial
funding for any Initial Project under Section 3.2, and the failure to satisfy
the conditions precedent for initial funding of such Initial Project is not
otherwise waived in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall have the
right in its discretion to have such Initial Project and/or related Portfolio
Entities released from the Liens of the Collateral Documents and to transfer
ownership of such Initial Project and/or Portfolio Entities to another Person or
Persons at any time prior to such Initial Project becoming a Funded Project, and
the Banks shall promptly release such Initial Project and/or Portfolio Entities
and consent to its transfer to another Person or Persons on the conditions that:

                         (i) (A) No Inchoate Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (B) Borrower's Four-Quarter Portfolio Interest
Coverage Ratio as of the most recent calendar quarter shall equal or exceed [*]
to 1.00 and (C) Borrower's Debt to Capitalization Ratio as of the most recent
calendar quarter shall be no higher than the Maximum Debt to Capitalization
Ratio.

                         (ii) Unless Borrower has made or caused to be made
Contributions to pay Project Costs for the Initial Projects other than such
Project in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than of $500,000,000, the
properties and assets attributable to such Contributions being subject to the
valid and first priority Lien of the Collateral Documents, Borrower makes
additional Contributions to prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of
(x) the difference between (A) $500,000,000 and (B) the total amount of
Contributions made or caused to be made to pay Project Costs for Initial
Projects at such time and (y) the total amount of Contributions attributed to
such Project, if any, as of the Closing Date in satisfaction of Section 3.1.23;
and

                         (iii) Borrower identifies a Substituted Initial Project
to replace such Project (such Substituted Initial Project to satisfy the
requirements of the definition thereof).

Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, Administrative Agent shall
execute and deliver to Borrower such documents and instruments, including UCC-3
termination statements and deeds of reconveyance, shall return, cancel and
terminate any applicable Portfolio Entity Note and Project Owner Guaranty, and
shall return all related Pledged Equity Interests, free and clear of the Liens
imposed by the Collateral Documents, all as may be reasonably necessary to
release the Liens granted to the Banks in such Initial Project and/or related
Portfolio Entities, as the case may be (including the Lien on cash flows from
such Initial Project), and to permit such transfer of ownership. Concurrently
with the release and transfer of such Initial Project and/or related Project
Owner, such Substituted Initial Project shall be deemed an Initial Project and
Appendixes G-1, G-2 and G-3, as appropriate, shall be amended to reflect the
foregoing and such Substituted Initial Project shall thereafter be funded with
Construction Loans in accordance with Section 5.25.2.

                  (k) Upon any release of a Project or Turbine from the Lien of
the Collateral Documents as provided herein, such Project or Turbine shall cease
to be an Initial Project, Subsequent Project or Turbine, as applicable, for
purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                  (l) Borrower or the applicable Portfolio Entity shall have the
right to transfer and convey, notwithstanding the existence of an Event of
Default or Inchoate Default and free and clear of all Liens under the Credit
Documents, real estate interests, including Easements, relating to (i) the
transmission or transportation of power, gas, water or other inputs or outputs
to or from a Project, (ii) access to or from the Project, or (iii) the provision
of other services to the Project, to a Governmental Authority, local utility or
similar Person, so long as the Technical Committee is satisfied that the
transmission or transportation of such commodities, access and the provision of
such other services to or from the Project will not be adversely affected as a
result of such conveyance. In the event of such transfer and conveyance,
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Borrower such documents and
instruments, including UCC-3 termination statements and deeds of reconveyance,
as reasonably may be necessary to release such real estate interests and related
portions of the Collateral from the Liens under the Credit Agreement.

beyond the business contemplated in the Operative Documents, including without
limitation purchasing gas with the intention of reselling such gas; provided (a)
each Portfolio Entity shall be directly or indirectly a wholly-owned Subsidiary

Center Project Owner and as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.4.2, (b)
each Project Owner shall hold title to only one Project (or portion thereof),

without obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Banks thereto.

         6.13.2 Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent direct
or consent to any change order under any of the Major Construction Contracts
relating to an Initial Project or a Funded Subsequent Project or any of the
Turbine Purchase Contracts relating to a Turbine assigned to an Initial Project
(as set forth on Exhibit G-3) or a Funded Turbine if such change order:

                  (a) in the case of a Project, will, individually or together
with all previous change orders, increase or decrease the Project Costs of a
particular Initial Project or Funded Subsequent Project by more than $2,500,000
in the aggregate (exclusive of increases reimbursed by insurance awards,
condemnation awards or contractual damage awards); provided, however,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower or a Project Owner may direct or consent
to any such change order without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent if such change order will not individually increase the Project Costs of a
particular Initial Project or Funded Subsequent Project by more than $250,000
and such change order, together with all previous change orders, will not
increase the Project Costs of such Initial Project or Funded Subsequent Project
by more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate (in each case, exclusive of increases
reimbursed by insurance awards, condemnation awards or contractual damage
awards);

                  (b) in the case of a Turbine, will, individually or together
with all previous change orders, increase or decrease the Turbine Costs of a
particular Turbine assigned to a Initial Project (as set forth on Exhibit G-3)
or Funded Turbine by more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate (exclusive of
increases reimbursed by insurance awards, condemnation awards or contractual
damage awards);

                  (c) in the case of a Project, is reasonably likely to delay
Completion of any Project beyond the Loan Maturity Date;

                  (d) is reasonably likely to permit or result in any adverse
modification or impair the enforceability of any warranty under any Major
Construction Contract, any Maintenance Contract or any O&M Agreement relating to
an Initial Project or a Funded Subsequent Project or any warranty under any
Turbine Purchase Contract relating to a Turbine assigned to an Initial Project
(as set forth on Exhibit G-3) or a Funded Turbine, in each case if such
modification or impairment could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on a Project;

                  (e) is reasonably likely, in the opinion of the Independent
Engineer, to impair or reduce the maximum capacity, efficiency, output,
performance, reliability, durability or availability of any Initial Project,
Funded Subsequent Project, Turbine assigned to an Initial Project (as set forth
on Exhibit G-3) or Funded Turbine, or increase O&M Costs associated with any
Initial Project or Funded Subsequent Project, or decrease Project Revenues from
any Initial

                                      105
<PAGE>   120
Project or Funded Subsequent Project, in each case after accounting for other
favorable or unfavorable circumstances which may have affected such Project or
Turbine, as the case may be;

                  (f) is not permitted by any Major Project Document relating to
an Initial Project or a Funded Subsequent Project or Turbine Purchase Contract
relative to a Turbine assigned to an Initial Project (as set forth on Exhibit
G-3) or a Funded Project or would (i) materially diminish any obligation of any
Major Project Participant or Turbine Purchase Contractor, as the case may be, or
(ii) materially increase any obligation of any Portfolio Entity thereunder;

                  (g) is likely, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative
Agent, to present a significant risk of the revocation or material modification
of any Applicable Permit or Third Party Permit relating to an Initial Project or
a Funded Subsequent Project or jeopardize any Project's status as a Qualifying
Facility or an Eligible Facility, as the case may be;

                  (h) may cause any Initial Project, Funded Subsequent Project,
Turbine assigned to an Initial Project (as set forth on Exhibit G-3) or Funded
Turbine not to comply or lessen any such Project's or Turbine's ability to
comply with Legal Requirements; or

                  (i) relates to a Major Construction Contract between any
Portfolio Entity and an Affiliate of Borrower.

         6.13.3 Declare "Completion", "Final Construction Completion", "Final
Project Completion" or "Mechanical Completion" (as such terms are defined in the
Construction Contracts) under the Construction Contracts relating to an Initial
Project or a Funded Subsequent Project or declare that the "Acceptance Date" has
occurred or approve the successful completion of the "Acceptance Tests" relating
to an Initial Project or a Funded Subsequent Project (as such terms are defined
in the Construction Contracts) without the written approval of Administrative
Agent acting in consultation with the Independent Engineer, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         6.13.4 Consent, without Administrative Agent's prior approval, to (a)
any action taken by any Contractor or Turbine Purchase Contractor to conform the
equipment or services provided by such Person to the intellectual property
rights of others if such action could reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect a Portfolio Entity's continued use of any Initial Project,
Funded Subsequent Project, Turbine assigned to an Initial Project (as set forth
on Exhibit G-3) or Funded Turbine or (b) to the settlement by any Contractor or
Turbine Purchase Contractor of any claim or proceeding which could reasonably be
expected to materially adversely affect a Portfolio Entity's rights relating to
an Initial Project, a Funded Subsequent Project, a Turbine assigned to an
Initial Project (as set forth on Exhibit G-3) or a Funded Turbine.

         6.13.5 Direct any Major Contractor or Turbine Purchase Contractor to
suspend the work being performed under any Construction Contract or any Turbine
Purchase Contract relating to an Initial Project, a Funded Subsequent Project, a
Turbine assigned to an Initial Project (as set forth on Exhibit G-3) or a Funded
Turbine without Administrative Agent's prior consent.

                              APPLICATION OF FUNDS

     7.1 Construction Account.

         7.1.1 Establishment of Account. On or prior to the Closing Date,
Borrower and Administrative Agent shall establish the Construction Account at
the Depositary Agent's New York office and within the Construction Account a
sub-account for each Initial Project (other than Substituted Initial Projects).
On or prior to the initial funding of Construction Loans in respect of a
Substituted Initial Project or a Subsequent Project, Borrower and Administrative
Agent shall establish a sub-account within the Construction Account for such
Project and, on or prior to the initial funding of Turbine Purchase Loans in
respect of a Turbine, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall establish a
sub-account within the Construction Account for such Turbine (a "Turbine
Purchase Sub-Account" and, each sub-account established pursuant to the two
preceding sentences, a "Construction Sub-Account"). Subject to the satisfaction
(or waiver) of the applicable provisions of Article 3 in respect of the
applicable Project or Turbine, as the case may be, there shall be deposited into
each Construction Sub-Account the proceeds of all Loans made hereunder in
respect of the corresponding Project or, in the case of each Turbine Purchase
Sub-Account, the corresponding Turbine, and all amounts required to be deposited
in such Construction Sub-Account pursuant to Sections 3.10(a), 5.1.2 and 5.17.

         7.1.2 Disbursements from Construction Account. Amounts shall be
disbursed from each Construction Sub-Account from time to time as provided in
this Section 7.1. Borrower shall have the right to cause Administrative Agent
(a) to disburse amounts from the Construction Sub-Account for the corresponding
Project to the accounts of each of the Contractors performing work on such
Project for amounts due and owing to such Contractors under the Construction
Contracts, or to any other materialmen, subcontractors, Administrative Agent or
any other Person performing work on such Project in payment of amounts due and
owing to such parties in respect of such Project in accordance with a duly
completed Construction Drawdown Certificate, (b) to transfer up to $250,000 in
any month from the Construction Sub-Account with respect to a Project to the
Operating Account with respect to such Project to pay specified amounts of less
than $50,000, individually, (c) to maintain up to $100,000 in any Operating
Account by transferring amounts from the corresponding Construction Sub-Account
to pay unspecified amounts (the expenditure of which shall be identified, and
substantiated to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent in the
immediately subsequent Construction Drawdown Certificate), (d) to disburse
amounts from the Turbine Purchase Sub-Account for the corresponding Turbine to
the account of the Turbine Purchase Contractor performing work with respect to
such Turbine in payment for amounts due and owing to such Turbine Purchase
Contractor under the Turbine Purchase Contract in accordance with a duly
completed Turbine Purchase Drawdown Certificate, and (e) to transfer amounts (i)
from the Construction Sub-Account for the corresponding Project to the Operating
Account with respect to such Project for payment by Borrower of amounts due and
owing to Contractors under the Construction Contracts or to any other
materialmen, subcontractors or other Persons performing work on such Project of
amounts due and owing to such parties in respect of such Project in accordance
with a duly completed Construction Drawdown Certificate and (ii) from the
Turbine Purchase Sub-Account for the corresponding Turbine to the Operating
Account for payment by Borrower of amounts due and owing to the Turbine Purchase
Contractor

                                      109
<PAGE>   124
performing work with respect to such Turbine for amounts due and owing to such
Turbine Purchase Contractor under the Turbine Purchase Contract in accordance
with a duly completed Turbine Purchase Drawdown Certificate. Borrower agrees
that, where Administrative Agent has not transferred such amounts to the
relevant Operating Account pursuant to clause (e) above, Administrative Agent
may transfer any or all of a Loan and other sums in the applicable Construction
Sub-Account directly into the account of any Contractor or Turbine Purchase
Contractor, as the case may be, for amounts due and owing to such Person under
the relevant Construction Contract or Turbine Purchase Contract, as the case may
be, or any other materialmen or subcontractors in payment of amounts due and
owing to such parties in respect of the applicable Project or Turbine without
further authorization from Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower has
notified Administrative Agent that it is contesting a claim for payment by any
such Person or a subcontractor or materialmen in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement and the definition of "Permitted Liens,"
Administrative Agent will not, except as described in the proviso to the next
sentence, be entitled to pay any amount being contested. Borrower hereby
constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to make such direct payments and this power of attorney shall
be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable;
provided that, except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default or a Non-Fundamental Project Default with respect to the relevant
Project, Administrative Agent shall not exercise its rights under this power of
attorney except to make payments (a) as directed by Borrower or (b) which
Administrative Agent reasonably believes, if not promptly made, are reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Project. No further
direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant or permit
Administrative Agent to make such direct Loans in accordance with the foregoing
sentence, and all such direct Loans shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of
Administrative Agent and the Banks hereunder, and shall be secured by the
Collateral Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the
disposition thereof by any Contractor, Turbine Purchase Contractor, or any other
subcontractors, materialmen, laborers or other parties. Upon Completion of a
Project, any amounts remaining in the applicable Construction Sub-Account in
excess of amounts necessary to pay for "punchlist" items for such Project shall,
at Borrower's option, (i) be transferred to the Construction Sub-Account for
another Project, (ii) be transferred to the relevant sub-account of the Revenue
Account, and/or (iii) be applied to prepay Loans. Upon Final Completion of a
Project, any amounts remaining in the Construction Sub-Account for such Project
shall be transferred to the relevant sub-account of the Revenue Account. At any
time when there exists no remaining Turbine Costs for a Funded Turbine, any
amounts remaining in the corresponding Turbine Purchase Sub-Account shall, at
Borrower's option, (i) be transferred to the Construction Sub-Account for
another Turbine, (ii) be transferred to the Construction Sub-Account for a
Project, and/or (iii) be applied to prepay Loans; provided, in the case of
clause (ii) of this sentence, the Turbine Purchase Loans corresponding to such
transferred amounts shall be deemed Construction Loans in the manner set forth
in Section 2.3.5.

         7.1.3 Rights of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent will have
the right, but not the obligation, to (a) supply any missing endorsements of
Borrower, refuse any item for deposit except as required by the terms of this
Agreement, and pay and charge items payable by Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 7.1.2 in any order convenient to Administrative Agent; (b) refuse to
honor any check drawn on the Construction Account or any sub-account therein
which is not consistent with this Agreement, or which has been improperly filled
out or

                                      110
<PAGE>   125
endorsed; (c) create and charge to the Construction Account or the applicable
Construction Sub-Account overdrafts and all applicable charges; (d) remit copies
of checks and other items with statements instead of the originals which may be
retained by Administrative Agent; and (e) pay fees, interest and other charges
owing by Borrower.

     7.2 Revenue Account.

         7.2.1 Establishment of Account; Priority of Payments. On or prior to
the Closing Date, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall establish the Revenue
Account at the Depositary Agent's New York office and within the Revenue Account
a sub-account for each Initial Project (other than Substituted Initial
Projects). On or prior to the initial funding of Construction Loans in respect
of a Substituted Initial Project or a Subsequent Project, Borrower and
Administrative Agent shall establish a sub-account within the Revenue Account
for such Project. There shall be deposited into the Revenue Account the amounts
specified in Section 5.1.2 and the applicable portion of withdrawals from time
to time from the Working Capital Reserve Account pursuant to Section 7.8.3. So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or will occur upon
giving effect to the application described below, funds in the Revenue Account
shall be applied at the following times and in the following order of priority
by disbursement or internal account transfer by the Depositary Agent, (a) on
Administrative Agent's volition with respect to Waterfall Levels 1 through 6 and
8 or if Administrative Agent reasonably believes that failure to make any such
payment could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with
respect to Borrower or a Project, or (b) pursuant to a disbursement requisition
executed by Borrower, directly to the Person entitled thereto, in each case at
the following times, commencing on the date funds are first deposited in the
Revenue Account, and in the following order of priority (each, a "Waterfall
Level"):

                  (1) from time to time, provided that Administrative Agent has
timely received and approved a Disbursement Requisition delivered pursuant to
Section 7.2.2, amounts in the Revenue Account shall be transferred to a
Project's Operating Account for payment of Senior O&M Costs incurred with
respect to such Project in an amount determined pursuant to Section 7.2.2 below;

                  (2) as and when due under the terms of this Agreement, from
the Revenue Account to the payment of all fees, costs, charges and any other
amounts due and payable to Administrative Agent, LC Bank and the Banks in
connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

                  (3) as and when due, on a pro rata basis among the Banks, from
the Revenue Account to the payment of interest on the Loans and on Reimbursement
Obligations;

                  (4) as and when due, from the Revenue Account, to repayment of
the Reimbursement Obligations incurred in connection with Letters of Credit;

                  (5) on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, as and
to the extent requested by Borrower, from the Revenue Account to the Working
Capital Reserve Account as required by Section 7.8;


                                      111
<PAGE>   126
                  (6) on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, in the
event that the conditions to distributions set forth in Section 6.6 have been
satisfied, provided that Administrative Agent has timely received and approved a
Disbursement Requisition delivered pursuant to Section 7.2.2, and as and to the
extent requested by Borrower from the Revenue Account to the payment of
Subordinated O&M Costs in an amount determined pursuant to Section 7.2.3 below;

                  (7) on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, (a) with
respect to any Non-Affiliated Parent, for payment to such Non-Affiliated Parent
in an amount equal to such Non-Affiliated Parent's percentage interest in the
net Project Revenues from such Project remaining after payment of the amounts
described in clauses (1) through (6) with respect to such Project and other
amounts which Borrower certifies are properly chargeable to such Non-Affiliated
Parent's interest and (b) in the event that the conditions to distributions set
forth in Section 6.6 have been satisfied, for payment of obligations owed to
Persons that are not Affiliates of Borrower and which obligations have been
approved by the Technical Committee in its sole discretion;

                  (8) on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, in the
event that the conditions to distributions set forth in Section 6.6 have been
satisfied, for payment to Borrower or distribution by Borrower in amounts
described in and for application in accordance with Section 6.6;

                  (9) on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, on a pro
rata basis among the Banks, to the prepayment of principal amounts of the Loans
outstanding; and

                  (10) on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter,
provided no Loans are then outstanding, to Borrower.

To the extent reasonably practicable, funds in the various sub-accounts of the
Revenue Account shall be applied at each Waterfall Level to costs, payments or
other uses as described in such Waterfall Level related or attributable to the
Project to which such sub-account relates; provided, if funds in any such
sub-account are insufficient for such application, Borrower or Administrative
Agent may apply funds in other sub-accounts of the Revenue Account to such
application; provided further, however, that the Lien of the Collateral
Documents on the Project Revenues from a particular Project shall not secure
Obligations relating to or arising from Projects that had achieved Operation
prior to the date such Lien was granted to Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Banks pursuant to the Credit Documents.

         7.2.2 O&M Costs. Sums shall be transferred to the Operating Accounts
for the payment of Senior O&M Costs as provided in this Section 7.2.2. On or
before the fifth Banking Day prior to the last Banking Day of each month during
which Borrower desires to transfer sums to the Operating Account for the
corresponding Project for the payment of Senior O&M Costs incurred in respect of
the corresponding Project, Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent a
certificate in the form of Exhibit C-10 detailing the amounts to be so
transferred ("Disbursement Requisition"), which amounts shall not exceed the
Senior O&M Costs incurred in respect of the corresponding Project which have
become, or are anticipated to become, due and payable during such month.
Administrative Agent shall review such Disbursement

                                      112
<PAGE>   127
Requisition within five Banking Days following receipt thereof, and shall
transfer the amounts specified therein to the applicable Operating Account for
application in accordance with Waterfall Level 1 to the extent that such
expenditures are in accordance with the terms of the applicable Annual Operating
Budget and this Agreement, as such budget may be exceeded pursuant to the terms
hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2.2 to the contrary, the
transfers to, and expenditures from, the Revenue Account or a sub-account
therein for Senior O&M Costs (other than O&M Costs incurred in an emergency and
fuel costs and netting any O&M Costs consisting of payments under Equipment
Leases against the corresponding Project Revenues resulting from such payments)
payable pursuant to Waterfall Level 1 shall not, without Administrative Agent's
consent, exceed 115% of the aggregate amounts specified in such Annual Operating
Budget. Borrower shall promptly pay or cause to be paid all Senior O&M Costs in
excess of the amounts permitted under the preceding sentence by Contributions of
additional funds; provided, however, that if Administrative Agent subsequently
approves a variation in such Annual Operating Budget which would have allowed
the payment of such excess Senior O&M Costs, Borrower shall be entitled to
recover any such Senior O&M Costs previously paid by Contributions of additional
funds at Waterfall Level 1. Each Disbursement Requisition shall reflect a
reduction in the Senior O&M Costs for which Borrower requests that funds be
transferred to the Operating Account during such month for any amounts which
remain, or are expected to remain, in the applicable Operating Account at the
end of any month as a result of a previous Disbursement Requisition.

         7.2.3 Subordinated O&M Costs. On or before the fifth Banking Day prior
to the end of each calendar quarter on which Borrower desires to make payments
of Subordinated O&M Costs, Borrower shall include in the Disbursement
Requisition submitted pursuant to Section 7.2.2 on such date the amounts to be
so paid, which amounts shall not exceed the Subordinated O&M Costs which have
become due and payable. Administrative Agent shall review such Disbursement
Requisition within five Banking Days following receipt thereof, and, to the
extent funds exist in the Revenue Account after application of amounts in such
account to Waterfall Levels 1 through 5, make payment of the Subordinated O&M
Costs specified therein in accordance with Section 7.2.1 to the designated payee
thereof to the extent that such expenditures are in accordance with the terms of
the relevant Annual Operating Budget.

         7.2.4 Mandatory Prepayment.

                  (a) If on the last Banking Day of any calendar quarter, an
Event of Default shall exist, Borrower shall use all amounts, if any, in the
Revenue Account and all sub-accounts thereof at such time after application of
amounts in such account to Waterfall Levels 1 through 5 (i) to prepay the Loans
(and the Reimbursement Obligations, pro rata), and (ii) upon repayment in full
of the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, to repay all other Obligations
of Borrower to the Banks, as designated by Administrative Agent and the Required
Banks.

                  (b) Nothing in this Section 7.2.4 shall limit in any manner
the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Banks upon and during
the continuation of an Event of Default under this Agreement.

     7.3 Operating Account.


                                      113
<PAGE>   128
         7.3.1 Establishment of Account. On or prior to the Funding Date for a
Project, the relevant Project Owner and Administrative Agent shall establish at
a mutually acceptable financial institution an account entitled "[RELEVANT]
Project -- Operating Account" (each, an "Operating Account" and collectively,
the "Operating Accounts").

         7.3.2 Funding. From time to time, in accordance with Section 7.1.2 or
the provisions of the Waterfall Levels, Borrower shall cause to be transferred
to the Operating Accounts the amounts specified in Sections 7.1.2, 7.2.1 and
7.2.2, as the case may be.

         7.3.3 Withdrawals. The relevant Project Owner shall be entitled to
withdraw amounts from an Operating Account (a) to pay Project Costs for the
corresponding Project in accordance with Section 7.1.2 or (b) to pay Senior O&M
Costs for the corresponding Project which have become due and payable in respect
of such Project in accordance with the Disbursement Requisition in which such
Senior O&M Costs were described. Amounts transferred to an Operating Account for
the payment of Project Costs which are not, for any reason, applied to the
payment of Project Costs pursuant to the Construction Drawdown Certificate
pursuant to which such amounts were transferred, shall be retained in such
Operating Account for application to the following month's Project Costs in
accordance with Section 7.1.2. Amounts transferred to an Operating Account for
the payment of Senior O&M Costs which are not, for any reason, applied to the
payment of Senior O&M Costs in accordance with the Disbursement Requisition
pursuant to which such amounts were transferred, shall be retained in such
Operating Account for application to the following month's Senior O&M Costs in
accordance with Section 7.2.2.

         7.3.4 Security Interest. Each Operating Account shall be established in
a state in which the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in such state governs
the creation, perfection and priority of security interests in "Deposit
Accounts" (as defined in such Uniform Commercial Code), and each Operating
Account shall be maintained as a "Deposit Account" in accordance with such
Uniform Commercial Code. The relevant Project Owner shall execute and deliver
such documents and instruments as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request
in order to grant Administrative Agent a perfected first priority Lien in each
Operating Account.

     7.4 Loss Proceeds Account. On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower and
Administrative Agent shall establish at the Depositary Agent's New York Office
the Loss Proceeds Account, and within the Loss Proceeds Account a sub-account
for each Initial Project (other than Substituted Initial Projects). On or prior
to the initial funding of Construction Loans in respect of a Substituted Initial
Project or a Subsequent Project, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall
establish a sub-account within the Loss Proceeds Account for such Project.
Except where a Project Document for a Funded Project that is not directly or
indirectly wholly-owned by Borrower may, with the approval of the Technical
Committee, direct otherwise, all Insurance Proceeds, Eminent Domain Proceeds and
damage payments described in Section 7.7 shall be deposited in the appropriate
subaccount in the Loss Proceeds Account and applied (a) as specified in Sections
7.5 through 7.7 and (b) if no such application is specified, to the prepayment
of the Loans, and thereafter to payment of all other Obligations of Borrower.

     7.5 Application of Insurance Proceeds.


                                      114
<PAGE>   129

as provided in Section 5.4.4 and any other casualty as to which Insurance
Proceeds have been made available. Borrower shall keep Administrative Agent
timely apprised of insurance claim proceedings. All amounts and proceeds
(including instruments) in respect of the proceeds of any insurance policy
required to be maintained by a Portfolio Entity hereunder (including the pro
rata portion of such amounts received under any policy maintained by a Joint
Venture) ("Insurance Proceeds") shall be applied as provided in this Section 7.5
except where a Project Document for a Funded Project that is not directly or
indirectly wholly-owned by Borrower may, with the approval of the Technical
Committee, direct otherwise. Except where a Project Document for a Funded
Project that is not directly or indirectly wholly-owned by a Borrower may, with
the approval of the Technical Committee, direct otherwise, and except as set
forth in Section 7.5.9, all Insurance Proceeds (or, in the case of a Project
that is not wholly-owned by a Portfolio Entity, such Portfolio Entity's share of
such Insurance Proceeds) shall be paid by the insurers directly to
Administrative Agent (as loss payee or additional insured as provided in Exhibit
K). If any Insurance Proceeds required to be paid to Administrative Agent
pursuant to the preceding sentence are paid directly to any Portfolio Entity,
Calpine or any other Person with respect to any Project or Turbine by any
insurer, such Insurance Proceeds shall be received only in trust for
Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Portfolio
Entities, Calpine or such other Person, as the case may be, and Borrower shall
cause such amounts to be forthwith paid over to Administrative Agent in the same
form as received (with any necessary endorsement). To the fullest extent that it
effectively may do so under applicable law, Administrative Agent shall apply all
such Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5.

         7.5.2 Delay in Start Up and Business Interruption Insurance. Any delay
in start up Insurance Proceeds received by Administrative Agent or any Portfolio
Entity (i) prior to Completion of the Project to which such Insurance Proceeds
relate shall be deposited into the Construction Sub-Account for such Project for
application in accordance with Section 7.1 and (ii) on or after Completion of
the Project to which such Insurance Proceeds relate shall be deposited into the
Revenue Account for application in accordance with Section 7.2.

         7.5.3 Applications; Mandatory Prepayments. All Insurance Proceeds
(other than those described in Sections 7.5.2, 7.5.4 and 7.5.9) and all Eminent
Domain Proceeds shall be applied (a) to the prepayment of Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations, pro rata, and (b) to the payment of all other
Obligations of Borrower, unless, with respect to a Project, each of the
following conditions are satisfied or waived by Administrative Agent, or the
Required Banks, as required pursuant to Section 7.5.5 or 7.5.6, in which event
such amounts shall be applied to the repair or restoration of the Project to
which such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds relate in accordance
with the terms of such subsections:

                  (a) such damage or destruction does not constitute the
destruction of all or substantially all of the man-made portion of the Project
to which such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds relate;

                  (b) neither a Non-Fundamental Project Default or a
Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default with respect to the damaged or
destroyed Project nor an Inchoate Default or an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and after giving effect to any


                                      115
<PAGE>   130
proposed repair and restoration, such damage or destruction or proposed repair
and restoration will not result in a Non-Fundamental Project Default or
Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default with respect to such Project or an
Event of Default or an Inchoate Default;

                  (c) Borrower and the Independent Engineer certify, and
Administrative Agent (with, if applicable, the consent of the Required Banks)
determines in its reasonable judgment, that repair or restoration of the Project
to which such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds relate is
technically and economically feasible within a twelve-month period and that a
sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to Borrower and the relevant
Project Owner and, if applicable, the Joint Venturer to make repairs and
restorations; provided, however, that if such Project is not wholly-owned by a
Project Owner, then the Joint Venture Agreement shall, unless otherwise approved
by the Technical Committee, require the other Persons owning an interest in such
Project to use their share of Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds for
the repair or restoration of such Project;

                  (d) Borrower certifies, and Administrative Agent (with, if
applicable, the consent of the Required Banks) determines in its reasonable
judgment, that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to Borrower
to make all payments of Debt Service which will become due during, if any, and
following repair period and to maintain the Four-Quarter Portfolio Interest
Coverage Ratios set forth in the Base Case Project Projections, unless the
Required Banks agree otherwise;

                  (e) if such damage or destruction occurs prior to the
Completion of a Project, such repair or restoration will not adversely affect,
in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent in consultation with the
Independent Engineer, achievement of Completion in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

                  (f) no Permit is necessary to proceed with the repair and
restoration of the Project to which such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain
Proceeds relate and no material amendment to the Project Documents, or, except
with the consent of the Required Banks, this Agreement or any of the Credit
Documents, and no other instrument is necessary for the purpose of effecting the
repairs or restorations of the Project to which such Insurance Proceeds or
Eminent Domain Proceeds relate or subjecting the repairs or restorations to the
Liens of the applicable Collateral Documents and maintaining the priority of
such Liens or, if any of the above is necessary, Borrower will be able to obtain
the same as and when required;

                  (g) Administrative Agent shall receive an opinion of counsel
acceptable to Administrative Agent opining as to the Permits described in
paragraph (f) above, and an opinion to the effect that such repairs or
restoration (to the extent constituting Collateral) will be subject to the Liens
of the applicable Collateral Documents at the same level of priority as the
other Collateral; and

                  (h) Administrative Agent shall receive such additional title
insurance, title insurance endorsements, mechanic's lien waivers, certificates,
opinions or other matters as it may reasonably request as necessary or
appropriate in connection with such repairs or restoration


                                      116
<PAGE>   131
of the Project to which such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds
relate or to preserve or protect the Banks' interests hereunder and in the
applicable Collateral.

         7.5.4 Proceeds Less than $1,000,000. If there shall occur any damage or
destruction of a Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds received by
the Portfolio Entities for any single loss not in excess of $1,000,000 are
payable, such Insurance Proceeds received by the Portfolio Entities shall be
held by Administrative Agent in the Loss Proceeds Account and released by
Administrative Agent to Borrower in accordance with Section 7.5.7.

         7.5.5 Proceeds in Excess of $1,000,000, Not in Excess of $10,000,000.
Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 7.5.3 have been waived by
Administrative Agent and the Independent Engineer, or have been acknowledged by
such Persons as having been satisfied, if there shall occur any damage or
destruction of a Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds received by
the Portfolio Entities for any single loss in excess of $1,000,000, but not in
excess of $10,000,000, are payable, such Insurance Proceeds received by the
Portfolio Entities shall be held by Administrative Agent in the Loss Proceeds
Account and released by Administrative Agent to Borrower in accordance with
Section 7.5.7.

         7.5.6 Proceeds in Excess of $10,000,000. Provided that the conditions
set forth in Section 7.5.3 have been waived by Administrative Agent, the
Required Banks and the Independent Engineer, or have been acknowledged by such
Persons as having been satisfied, if there shall occur any damage or destruction
of a Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds for any single loss in
excess of $10,000,000 are payable, such Insurance Proceeds shall be held by
Administrative Agent in the Loss Proceeds Account and released by Administrative
Agent to Borrower in accordance with Section 7.5.7.

         7.5.7 Repair and Restoration Procedures. Amounts which are to be
applied to repair or restoration of a Project pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall
be disbursed by Administrative Agent from the Loss Proceeds Account in
accordance with the following procedures:

                  (a) Borrower shall cause any repairs or restoration to be
commenced and completed promptly and diligently either using Insurance Proceeds
as contemplated in paragraph (b) below or, to the extent such proceeds are not,
or have not yet been made, available, using Borrower's funds;

                  (b) From time to time (after Administrative Agent or the
Required Banks, if applicable, shall have duly approved the making of such
repairs or restoration), Administrative Agent's authorization of release of
Insurance Proceeds for application toward such repairs or restoration shall be
conditioned upon Borrower's written request and the presentation to
Administrative Agent of all documents, certificates and information with respect
to such Insurance Proceeds which would be required in order to obtain a Loan
under this Agreement, including a certificate from Borrower (i) describing in
reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected with
such release, (ii) stating the cost of such repairs or restoration and the
specific amount requested to be paid over to or upon the order of Borrower and
that such amount is requested to pay the cost thereof, (iii) stating that the
aggregate amount requested by Borrower in respect of such repairs or restoration
(when added to any other Insurance Proceeds received by the Portfolio Entities
or otherwise made available to a Project in respect of such


                                      117
<PAGE>   132
damage or destruction) does not exceed the cost of such repairs or restoration
and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Portfolio
Entities to complete the applicable Project, and (iv) stating that neither a
Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default with respect to the damaged or
destroyed Project nor an Inchoate Default has occurred and is continuing other
than a Non-Fundamental Project Default with respect to such Project or an Event
of Default resulting solely from such damage or destruction.

         7.5.8 Excess Insurance Proceeds. If, after Insurance Proceeds have been
applied to the repair or restoration of a Project as provided in Sections 7.5.4,
7.5.5 or 7.5.6, the Banks in consultation with the Independent Consultants
determine that such Project will be able to operate at a level enabling Borrower
to satisfy its obligations hereunder as well as before the damage or
destruction, any excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid into the Revenue
Account. In the event that the Banks in consultation with the Independent
Engineer determine otherwise, such excess Insurance Proceeds shall be applied
(a) to the prepayment of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, pro rata, and (b)
to the payment of all other Obligations of Borrower.

         7.5.9 Turbine Insurance Proceeds. Any Insurance Proceeds related to
Turbines shall be distributed directly to Borrower, provided that, with respect
to a Funded Turbine, Borrower pays to Administrative Agent the aggregate amount
of the Turbine Purchase Loans then outstanding with respect to such Turbine.
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing condition, Administrative Agent shall execute
and deliver to Borrower such documents and instruments as may be reasonably
necessary to release such Turbine from the Liens of the Collateral Documents and
to permit such transfer of ownership.

         7.5.10 Events of Default. If a Non-Fundamental Project Default with
respect to the damaged or destroyed Project or an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, then any provisions of this Sections 7.5 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Insurance Proceeds (including any Permitted
Investments made with such proceeds, which shall be liquidated in such manner as
the Banks shall deem reasonable and prudent under the circumstances) may be
applied by Administrative Agent (a) to curing such Non-Fundamental Project
Default or Event of Default, and any Insurance Proceeds remaining thereafter
shall be applied as provided in this Section 7.5 or (b) if such Non-Fundamental
Project Default or Event of Default cannot be cured, toward payment of all other
Obligations of Borrower, in connection with exercise of the Banks' remedies
pursuant to Article 8.

      7.6 Application of Eminent Domain Proceeds. All amounts and proceeds
(including instruments) received in respect of any Event of Eminent Domain
("Eminent Domain Proceeds") shall be subject to the same treatment as Insurance
Proceeds as provided in Section 7.5.

      7.7 Application of Certain Damages Payments; Mandatory Prepayments.

         7.7.1 Contractor. All delay related liquidated damages (or, in the case
of a Project that is not wholly-owned by a Portfolio Entity, such Portfolio
Entity's share of such liquidated damages) shall (a) if received prior to
Completion of the Project in respect of which they were received, be deposited
in the Construction Account and applied pursuant to Section 7.1 or (b) if
received after Completion of such Project, be deposited in the Revenue Account
and applied pursuant to Section 7.2.1. All performance related liquidated
damages (or, in the case of


                                      118
<PAGE>   133
a Project that is not wholly-owned by a Portfolio Entity, such Portfolio
Entity's share of such liquidated damages), including all payments in lieu of
performance related liquidated damages payable by Calpine pursuant to clause

the prepayment of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, pro rata, in accordance
with Section 2.1.7 and thereafter to all other Obligations of Borrower.

         7.7.2 Power Purchasers. All damage payments made by Power Marketer or
any other purchaser of the power generated by a Project in satisfaction of such
party's obligations under its purchase agreement (or, in the case of a Project
that is not wholly-owned by a Portfolio Entity, such Portfolio Entity's share of
such damage payments,) shall (a) to the extent such damages are intended to
replace lost revenues, be deposited in the Revenue Account for application as
provided in Section 7.2, and (b) otherwise, applied to (i) the prepayment of
Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, pro rata, and (ii) to the extent that
all such Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, as applicable, have been prepaid,
applied to the other Obligations of Borrower.

         7.7.3 Other. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this
Agreement, including this Section 7.7, Borrower shall apply the proceeds of any
other surety, performance or similar bonds and any other liquidated or other
damages paid in respect of damage payments or performance payments by (a) any
contractors or subcontractors or other Persons involved in the construction and
operation of a Project or (b) any Turbine Purchase Contractors with respect to
Turbines (or in the case of a Project or a Turbine that is not wholly-owned by a
Portfolio Entity, such Portfolio Entity's share of such proceeds), to the
prepayment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, pro rata, and thereafter
to the Obligations of Borrower or, with the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent acting in consultation with the Independent Engineer, to
such other application in relation to a Project or a Turbine as Borrower may
request.

      7.8 Working Capital Reserve Account.

         7.8.1 Establishment of Account. On or prior to the Closing Date,
Borrower and Administrative Agent shall establish the Working Capital Reserve
Account at the Depositary Agent's New York office and within the Working Capital
Reserve Account a sub-account for each Initial Project (other than Substituted
Initial Projects). On or prior to the initial funding of Construction Loans in
respect of a Substituted Initial Project or a Subsequent Project, Borrower and
Administrative Agent shall establish a sub-account within the Working Capital
Reserve Account for such Project.

         7.8.2 Funding. On the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter,
Borrower shall cause such portion as Borrower may direct of the amounts then in
the Revenue Account in excess of the amounts applied through Waterfall Level 4
to be deposited into the Working Capital Reserve Account, until the amounts
deposited therein equal the Working Capital Reserve Requirement; provided, if
the applicable Project's Project Budget approved by the Lead Arrangers or the
Technical Committee, as the case may be, pursuant to Article 3 contains initial
working capital as an approved Project Cost, such amounts up to the Working
Capital Reserve Requirement shall be deposited into the Working Capital Reserve
Account on the Completion Date with respect to such Project.


                                      119
<PAGE>   134
         7.8.3 Withdrawals. Borrower shall be entitled to submit a duly executed
Reserve Account Disbursement Requisition in substantially the form of Exhibit
C-11 (a "Reserve Account Disbursement Requisition") in order to withdraw amounts
from the Working Capital Reserve Account, including for deposit into the Revenue
Account, to pay all Senior O&M Costs (a) that have become due and payable for
any Initial Project or Funded Subsequent Project, (b) for which insufficient
amounts are available in the Revenue Account or applicable Operating Account and
(c) which, unless Administrative Agent consents, do not, together with all

such Project, exceed 115% of the amounts of Senior O&M Costs (other than fuel
costs) specified for such Project in the applicable Annual Operating Budget for
such calendar year, or as otherwise approved by Administrative Agent and the
Independent Engineer. To the extent reasonably practicable, funds in the various
sub-accounts of the Working Capital Reserve Account shall be applied to costs,
payments or other uses as described in this Section 7.8 related or attributable
to the Project to which such sub-account relates; provided, if funds in any such
sub-account are insufficient for such application, Borrower or Administrative
Agent may apply funds in other sub-accounts of the Working Capital Reserve
Account to such application.

         7.8.4 Earnings. All earnings on monies in the Working Capital Reserve
Account shall accrue to the Working Capital Reserve Account up to the Working
Capital Reserve Requirement and shall thereafter be deposited in the Revenue
Account.

      7.9 Security Interest in Proceeds and Accounts. Borrower hereby pledges,
assigns and transfers to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks and grants
to Depositary Agent on behalf of the Banks a security interest in and to all of
its right, title and interest in and to all Insurance Proceeds and Eminent
Domain Proceeds (to the extent permitted under the Calpine Indenture)
(collectively, "Proceeds"), Accounts, Sub-Accounts and contents of Accounts and
Sub-Accounts, as security for the Loans and the full and faithful performance of
all of Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.
Borrower shall not have any rights or powers with respect to any Account except
to have funds on deposit therein applied or distributed in accordance with this
Agreement. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to reduce to cash any
Permitted Investment (without regard to maturity) in order to make any
application required by any section of this Article 7 or otherwise pursuant to
the Credit Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Administrative Agent shall have all rights and powers with respect
to Proceeds, the Accounts and the contents of the Accounts as it has with
respect to any other Collateral and may apply such amounts to the payment of
interest, principal, fees, costs, charges or other amounts due or payable to
Administrative Agent or the Banks with respect to the Loans in such order as the
Required Banks may elect in their sole discretion. If such Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, until such time as the Required Banks so elect to
exercise such rights and powers, amounts in the Revenue Account shall continue
to be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment categories specified in
Waterfall Levels 1 (to the extent of actual Senior O&M Costs payable to third
parties that are not Affiliates of Borrower) and 2 through 5 and Level 9, and,
to the extent that Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Banks
acting in their sole discretion, so elects Waterfall Levels 6, 7, 8 and 10.
Borrower shall not have any rights or powers with respect to such amounts except
as expressly provided in this Article 7.

Administrative Agent in the Accounts or as Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain
Proceeds shall only be invested in Permitted Investments as provided in the

the Accounts; provided that the relevant Project Owners shall be permitted to
maintain the Operating Accounts in accordance with Section 7.3.

      7.11 Earnings on Accounts. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
including with respect to the Revenue Account and the Operating Accounts, all
earnings on funds in any Account maintained hereunder shall, on the last day of

the exclusive dominion and control of the Depositary Agent.

                  (a) On or prior to the Closing Date each of the Project Owners
with respect to the Initial Projects, each of the Turbine Owners with respect to
the Turbines assigned to the Initial Projects (as set forth on Exhibit G-3) and
each Equipment Finance Company (to the extent in existence on the Closing Date)
(in each case, other than such Persons with respect to the Delta Energy Center
Project) shall execute and deliver to Development Company or CCFC II Equipment
Finance Company, as the case may be, a Portfolio Entity Note and, to the extent
not executed and delivered pursuant to the foregoing, on or prior to the initial
funding of Construction Loans in respect of each Funded Project and Turbine
Purchase Loans in respect of each Funded Turbine, the relevant Project Owner,
Turbine Owner, or Equipment Finance Company, as the case may be, shall execute
and deliver to Development Company or CCFC II Equipment Finance Company, as
applicable, a Portfolio Entity Note. On or prior to the Closing Date Development
Company and CCFC II Equipment Finance Company shall execute and deliver to
Borrower a Portfolio Entity Note. The Portfolio Entity Notes which, in
accordance with this Agreement, shall be pledged by Borrower, Development
Company and CCFC II Equipment Finance Company to Administrative Agent pursuant
to the Borrower Security Agreement, the Development Company Security Agreement
and the CCFC II Equipment Finance Company Security Agreement, respectively,
shall evidence the loans made by Borrower to Development Company and CCFC II
Equipment Finance Company, respectively, and CCFC II Equipment Finance Company
and Development Company to the other Portfolio Entities, respectively, in
accordance with Section 7.14(b). In the event that (i) the ownership of a Funded
Turbine or a Turbine assigned to an Initial Project or a Funded Subsequent
Project is transferred from a Turbine Owner to an Equipment Finance Company or

Company, a Turbine Owner or a Project Owner is transferred from Development
Company or CCFC II Equipment Finance Company to Borrower or CCFC II Equipment
Finance Holdings Company, the Portfolio Entity Note executed by the Portfolio
Entity whose ownership or assets are transferred may likewise be transferred to
the direct or indirect parent of the Portfolio Entity to whom such assets or
ownership is transferred, subject in all cases to the pledge of such Portfolio
Entity Notes in favor of Administrative Agent, such that the Portfolio Entity
Note executed by each Portfolio Entity shall run to the benefit of the parent of
such Portfolio Entity after giving effect to such transfer. In connection with
any such transfer, Borrower and each relevant Portfolio Entity shall execute and
deliver such amendments to the Collateral Documents or additional Collateral
Documents as the Technical Committee considers necessary to preserve the Banks'
Lien on the Portfolio Entity Notes and any related Collateral.

                  (b) All proceeds of Loans, Contributions and any other amounts
utilized by Borrower with respect to the Projects or the Turbines in accordance
with this Agreement, including amounts disbursed from the Accounts in accordance
with this Article 7, shall constitute, depending on the purpose for which such
payments or other distributions are made, either (i) consecutive loans
consisting first of a loan by Borrower to Development Company and then a loan by
Development Company to the relevant Project Owner, Turbine Owner or Equipment
Finance Company or (ii) consecutive loans consisting first of a loan by Borrower
to CCFC II Equipment Finance Company (or CCFC II Equipment Finance Holdings
Company, if applicable) and then a loan by CCFC II Equipment Finance Company (or
CCFC II Equipment Finance Holdings Company, if applicable) to the relevant
Turbine Owner or Equipment Finance Company, in each case such loans to be
evidenced by the relevant Portfolio Entity Notes as set forth in Section 7.14(a)
above.

                  (c) Borrower shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to
cause all Project Revenues, Insurance Proceeds, Eminent Domain Proceeds, damage
payments (including delay or performance liquidated damage payments) and any
other amounts due any Portfolio Entity to be paid or otherwise delivered by such
Persons making such payment or delivery directly to Borrower for deposit in the
Accounts as required pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the receipt of such
amounts by Borrower, such amounts shall be deemed consecutive repayments of
amounts due and owing first from the relevant Portfolio Entity to Development
Company or CCFC II Equipment Finance Company (or a subsequent holder of the
Portfolio Entity Note, if applicable), as the case may be, and then from
Development Company or CCFC II Equipment Finance Company (or a subsequent holder
of the Portfolio Entity Note, if applicable), as the case may be, to Borrower,
in each case under the corresponding Portfolio Entity Note; provided, to the
extent no amounts are due and owing under such Portfolio Entity Notes such
amounts shall be deemed distributions to Development Company, CCFC II Equipment
Finance Company, CCFC II Equipment Finance Holdings Company, or Borrower, as the
case may be, with respect to its ownership interest in the Portfolio Entity
making such distribution.

                  (d) If any amounts described in Sections 7.14(b) and (c) above
are paid directly to or received directly by any Portfolio Entity, such amounts
shall be received only in trust for Administrative Agent, shall be segregated
from other funds of such Portfolio Entities, and Borrower shall cause such
amounts to be forthwith paid over to (i) in the case of clause (b) above, the
Person to which such amounts are due and owing and (ii) in the case of clause
(c)


                                      122

above, Administrative Agent for application in accordance with this Agreement,
in each case in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement).

                  (e) Other than with respect to the Operating Accounts held by
the relevant Portfolio Entities, no Portfolio Entity, other than Borrower, shall
have any right, power or interest with respect to the Accounts, Sub-Accounts and
contents of Accounts and Sub-Accounts and no such Portfolio Entity shall hold
funds in any accounts.

         8.1.1 Failure to Make Payments. Borrower shall fail to pay, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (a) any principal on any Loan, or
any Reimbursement Obligation, on the date that such sum is due, (b) any interest

charge or sum due hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, within three
days after the date that such sum is due, or (c) any other fee, cost, charge or
other sum due under this Agreement within five days after written notice that

or more individually or in the aggregate (other than, in the case of both
clauses (i) and (ii) above, (a) a judgment which is fully covered by insurance
or discharged within 30 days after its entry, or (b) a judgment, the execution
of which is effectively stayed within 30 days after its entry but only for 30
days after the date on which such stay is terminated or expires) or, in the case
of both clauses (i) and (ii) above, which if left unstayed could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

         8.1.3 Misstatements; Omissions. Any financial statement,
representation, warranty or certificate made or prepared by, under the control
of or on behalf of any Portfolio Entity and furnished to Administrative Agent,
the Lead Arrangers, the Technical Committee or any Bank pursuant to this
Agreement, or in any separate statement or document to be delivered to
Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder or under any other Credit Document,
shall contain an untrue or misleading statement of a material fact or shall fail
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
as of the date made, in either case, which could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

         8.1.4 Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Any of the Portfolio Entities, the
Member, Calpine, any Construction Manager (so long as such Construction Manager
has outstanding or unperformed obligations under any Construction Management
Agreement), any Operator, any Project Manager, any Joint Venturer, Power
Marketer or any other purchaser of capacity or energy from a Project (so long as
Power Marketer or such other purchaser, as the case may be, has outstanding or
unperformed obligations under the Power Purchase Documents to which it is


                                      123
<PAGE>   138
party and such party's Bankruptcy Event could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower), any Fuel Supplier (so long as such party's
Bankruptcy Event could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
on Borrower) or any Turbine Purchase Contractor, Major Contractor, Major Gas
Transporter or counterparty to any electrical transmission or interconnection
agreement or material water supply agreement (so long as such Turbine Purchase
Contractor, Major Contractor, Major Gas Transporter or counterparty has
outstanding or unperformed obligations under the Turbine Purchase Contract,
Major Construction Contract, Major Gas Transportation Agreement or other
agreement to which it is a party and such party's Bankruptcy Event could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower) shall
become subject to a Bankruptcy Event; provided that, solely with respect to a
Bankruptcy Event affecting any entity other than the Portfolio Entities, the
Member and Calpine, no Event of Default shall occur as a result of such
Bankruptcy Event if the applicable Portfolio Entity obtains a Replacement
Obligor (or, in the case of the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to
a Joint Venturer, if such Portfolio Entity or another Person acquired such
Person's interest in such Project or Turbine, as the case may be) for the
affected party within 90 days thereafter and such Bankruptcy Event has not had
and does not have prior to so obtaining such Replacement Obligor (or purchaser
of the Joint Venturer's interest), a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

Portfolio Entity Notes, any Portfolio Entity, Calpine or any other Calpine
Affiliate other than a Calpine Sole Purpose Entity shall default for a period
beyond any applicable grace period (a) in the payment of any principal, interest
or other amount due under any agreement involving the borrowing of money or the
advance of credit and the outstanding amount or amounts payable under all such
agreements equals or exceeds $1,000,000 in the aggregate (or, in the case of
Calpine only, $10,000,000 in the aggregate), or (b) in the payment of any amount
or performance of any obligation due under any guarantee or other agreement if
in either case, pursuant to such default, the holder of the obligation concerned
has the right to accelerate the maturity of an indebtedness evidenced thereby
which equals or exceeds $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Calpine only, $10,000,000
in the aggregate). For purposes of this Section, the term "Calpine Sole Purpose
Entity" shall mean a Calpine Affiliate (i) whose sole purpose is the ownership
and maintenance of a power project (other than a Project) that has been financed
on a non-recourse basis and (ii) that is not directly connected to a Project or
responsible for actions materially and directly affecting a Project.

         8.1.6 ERISA. If any Portfolio Entity or any member of the Controlled
Group should establish, maintain, contribute to or become obligated to
contribute to any ERISA Plan and (a) a reportable event (under Section 4043(b)
or (c) of ERISA for which notice to the PBGC is not waived) shall have occurred
with respect to any ERISA Plan and, within 30 days after the reporting of such
reportable event to Administrative Agent by Borrower (or Administrative Agent
otherwise obtaining knowledge of such event) and the furnishing of such
information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect thereto,
Administrative Agent shall have notified Borrower in writing that (i)
Administrative Agent has made a determination that, on the basis of such
reportable event, there are reasonable grounds for the termination of such ERISA
Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States
District Court of a trustee to administer such ERISA Plan and (ii) as a result
thereof, an Event of Default exists hereunder; or (b) a trustee shall be
appointed by a United States District Court to administer any


                                      124
<PAGE>   139
ERISA Plan; or (c) the PBGC shall institute proceedings to terminate any ERISA
Plan; or (d) a complete or partial withdrawal by any Portfolio Entity or any
member of the Controlled Group from any Multiemployer Plan shall have occurred,
or any Multiemployer Plan shall enter reorganization status, become insolvent,
or terminate (or notify Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group of its
intent to terminate) under Section 4041A of ERISA and, within 30 days after the
reporting of any such occurrence to Administrative Agent by Borrower (or
Administrative Agent otherwise obtaining knowledge of such event) and the
furnishing of such information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request
with respect thereto, Administrative Agent shall have notified Borrower in
writing that Administrative Agent has made a determination that, on the basis of
such occurrence, an Event of Default exists hereunder; provided that any of the
events described in this Section 8.1.6 shall involve (A) one or more ERISA Plans
that are single-employer plans (as defined in Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA) and
under which the aggregate gross amount of unfunded benefit liabilities (as
defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA), including vested unfunded liabilities
which arise or might arise as the result of the termination of such ERISA Plans,
and/or (B) one or more Multiemployer Plans to which the aggregate liabilities of
the Portfolio Entity and all members of the Controlled Group, shall exceed
$1,000,000.

<PAGE>   141

a whole.

                  (b) Any Applicable Permit necessary for operation of any
Initial Project or Funded Subsequent Project shall be materially modified (other

of Default, but subject to Section 1(a) of the Project Completion Guaranty,
Administrative Agent, LC Bank and the Banks may, at the election of the Required

increase the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit, or make any payments, or
permit the making of payments, from any Account or any Proceeds or other funds
held by Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents or on behalf of
Borrower.

Default Rate (but in no event shall the rate exceed the maximum lawful rate),
shall be repaid by Borrower to Administrative Agent on demand and shall be

of the Total Loan Commitment, Total Turbine Purchase Loan Commitment and Total
Letter of Credit Commitment.

         8.2.5 Acceleration. Declare and make all sums of accrued and
outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest remaining under this
Agreement together with all unpaid fees, costs (including Liquidation Costs and

Commitment.

remedies available to it under any of the Credit Documents, including judicial
or non-judicial foreclosure or public or private sale of any of the Collateral
pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

obligations of such persons under any Equity Document or as security for the
obligations of the Portfolio Entities; and (e) nothing contained herein shall
limit the liability of (i) any Person who is a party to any Project Document or

Purchase Contract), certificate or statement, or (ii) any Person rendering a
legal opinion pursuant to this Agreement, in each case under this clause (e)
relating solely to such liability of such Person as may arise under such

                                      130

and the full payment and performance of the Obligations hereunder and under the
other Operative Documents.

                                  ARTICLE 10.
             ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; SUBSTITUTION; TECHNICAL COMMITTEE

      10.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

         10.1.1 Each Bank hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to
act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers
as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any
other Credit Document, or be a trustee or a fiduciary for any Bank.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or
any other Credit Documents or any Legal Requirement or exposes Administrative
Agent to any liability. Each of Administrative Agent, the Banks and any of their
respective Affiliates shall not be responsible to any other Bank for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Member, any
Portfolio Entity or its Affiliates contained in this Agreement or in any
certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by
Administrative Agent, or any Bank under this Agreement, for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the
Notes or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any
failure by the Member, any Portfolio Entity or its Affiliates to perform their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent may employ
agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

         10.1.2 Administrative Agent and its respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in
connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Administrative Agent (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof
until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
(b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank for
any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any
Project Document, Turbine Purchase Contract or Credit Document; (d) shall not
have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Operative Document on the part
of any party thereto or to inspect the property (including the books and
records) of any Portfolio Entity or any other Person; and (e) shall not be
responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Operative Document or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto. Except as otherwise
provided under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall take such action with
respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Required Banks.


                                      131
<PAGE>   146
      10.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any
cable, telegram, telecopy or telex) 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 Administrative Agent. As to any other matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to
refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Banks or, where expressly
provided, the Required Banks (except that Administrative Agent shall not be
required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Credit Document or
any Legal Requirement) and shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in
accordance with the instructions of the Required Banks (or, where so expressly
stated, the Required Banks), and such instructions of the Required Banks (or
Required Banks, where applicable) and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

      10.3 Non-Reliance. Each Bank represents that it has, independently and
without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of the financial condition and affairs of the Portfolio Entities and decision to
enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without
reliance upon Administrative Agent, or any other Bank, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement. Each of Administrative Agent and any Bank shall not be required to
keep informed as to the performance or observance by the Member, any Portfolio
Entity or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any other document referred to
or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or
books of the Member, any Portfolio Entity or its Affiliates.

      10.4 Defaults. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Inchoate Default, Event of Default,
Non-Fundamental Project Default or Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default
unless Administrative Agent has received a notice from a Bank or Borrower,
referring to this Agreement, describing such Inchoate Default, Event of Default,
Non-Fundamental Project Default or Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate Default and
indicating that such notice is a notice of default. If Administrative Agent
receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Inchoate Default, Event of
Default, Non-Fundamental Project Default or Non-Fundamental Project Inchoate
Default Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks and
Borrower. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any
Inchoate Default or Event of Default as is provided in Article 8 or if not
provided for in Article 8, as Administrative Agent shall be reasonably directed
by the Required Banks; provided, however, unless and until Administrative Agent
shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interest of the Banks.

      10.5 Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower
hereunder, each Bank agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and its officers,
directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees, agents and servants,
ratably in accordance with their


                                      132
<PAGE>   147
Proportionate Shares for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against Administrative Agent or any such Person in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other
documents; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent's or any such
Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent of any
such Person shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take
any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it
by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent and any such
Person promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses
(including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent or any such Person in
connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or
legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Operative
Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent or any such Person is not
reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower.

      10.6 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent acknowledges
that its current intention is to remain Administrative Agent hereunder.
Nevertheless, Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Banks and Borrower. Administrative Agent may be removed
involuntarily only for a material breach of its duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Credit Documents or for gross negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or under
the other Credit Documents and then only upon the affirmative vote of the
Required Banks (excluding Administrative Agent from such vote and Administrative
Agent's Proportionate Share of the Commitment from the amounts used to determine
the portion of the Commitment necessary to constitute the required Proportionate
Share of the remaining Banks). Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Required Banks shall have the right, with the consent of Borrower (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of
resignation or the Banks' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, with the consent of
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Bank, if any Bank shall be
willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent under the Operative Documents by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent only
under the Credit Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Operative Documents.

<PAGE>   148
      10.7 Authorization. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Banks
to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which
Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Bank agrees to be
bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in the Credit
Documents. Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Banks to release
liens on property that the Portfolio Entities permitted to sell or transfer
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the
Operative Documents, and to enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the
purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in
this Agreement or any Credit Document to which it is a party.

      10.8 Administrative Agent, Technical Committee, Bookrunner, Arrangers,
Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents. With respect to its
Commitment, the Loans made by it and any Note issued to it, each of the
financial institutions acting as Administrative Agent or as members of the
Technical Committee shall have the same rights and powers under the Operative
Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not
Administrative Agent or a member of the Technical Committee, as the case may be.
The term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include
Administrative Agent and members of the Technical Committee, in each case in
their individual capacity. The financial institutions acting as Administrative
Agent and members of the Technical Committee and their Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally
engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any other Person, without any
duty to account therefor to the Banks. The parties acknowledge and agree that
the Bookrunner, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents
shall not, in such capacities (but not in their capacities as Banks), have any
rights, responsibilities, duties, obligations (including any fiduciary
obligations) or liability hereunder.

      10.9 Amendments; Waivers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.9,
unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or another Credit Document, the
Required Banks (or Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the
Required Banks) and Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for
the purpose of adding, modifying or waiving any provisions to the Credit
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or Borrower
hereunder or waiving any Inchoate Default or Event of Default; provided,
however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all
of the Banks:

                           (i) Modify Section 2.1.1(d), 2.1.2(d), 2.7, 2.8, 2.9,
5.1, 5.17, 6.17, 6.22, 7.1 through 7.14, 8.1.10, 10.1, 10.13, 10.14 or 10.17;

                           (ii) Increase the amount of the Commitment of any
Bank hereunder; or

                           (iii) Reduce the percentage specified in the
definition of Required Banks; or

                           (iv) Permit Borrower to assign its rights under this
Agreement except as provided in Section 6.17, or permit a transfer of ownership
of a Portfolio Entity, a Project or a Turbine except as provided in Section
8.1.11, or


                                      134
<PAGE>   149
                          (v) Amend this Section 10.9; or

                          (vi) Release any Collateral from the Lien of any of
the Collateral Documents, except as permitted in Section 6.4, or allow release
of any funds from any Account otherwise than in accordance with the terms
hereof; or

                          (vii) Extend the maturity of any Loan or any of the
Notes or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or change the
time of payment of interest due on any Loan or any Notes; or

                          (viii) Extend the Loan Maturity Date; or

                          (ix) Reduce the amount or extend the payment date for
any amount due under Article 2, whether principal, interest, fees or other
amounts; or

                          (x) Reduce or change the time of payment of any fee
due or payable hereunder; or

                          (xi) Terminate the Project Completion Guaranty or the
Turbine Purchase Guaranty except in accordance with its terms; or

                          (xii) Subordinate the Loans to any other Indebtedness.

Any proposed action to be taken by the Required Banks under the Credit
Documents, including, without limitation, supplemental agreements with Borrower
adding, modifying or waiving any provisions to the Credit Documents or changing
in any manner the rights of the Banks or Borrower hereunder or waiving any
Inchoate Default or Event of Default under this Section 10.9 or Section 3.12,
shall be deemed so taken by the Required Banks unless, after the Banks have
received from Administrative Agent and/or Borrower notice of such proposed
action together with all other documentation and other information reasonably
necessary for the Banks' consideration of such proposed action, Banks having
Proportionate Shares exceeding 33.33% at the time of such notice notify
Administrative Agent of such Banks' disapproval of such proposed action by the
Determination Date.

      10.10 Withholding Tax.

         10.10.1 Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to
any Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or
other documentation required by Section 2.6 are not delivered to Administrative
Agent, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any
Bank not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to
the applicable withholding tax.

         10.10.2 If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank
(because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Bank failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Bank shall indemnify
Administrative


                                      135
<PAGE>   150
Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative
Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all
expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs, and any out
of pocket expenses.

         10.10.3 If any Bank sells, assigns, grants participation in, or
otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee,
participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms
of Sections 2.6.7, 10.10.1 and 10.10.2 as though it were such Bank.

      10.11 General Provisions as to Payments. Administrative Agent shall
promptly distribute to each Bank, subject to the terms of the assignment and
assumption agreement between Administrative Agent and such Bank, its pro rata
share of each payment of principal and interest payable to the Banks on the
Loans and of fees hereunder received by Administrative Agent for the account of
the Banks and of any other amounts owing under the Loans. The payments made for
the account of each Bank shall be made, and distributed to it, for the account
of (a) its domestic lending office in the case of payments of principal of, and
interest on, its Base Rate Loans, (b) its domestic or foreign lending office, as
each Bank may designate in writing to Administrative Agent, in the case of LIBOR
Loans, and (c) its domestic lending office, or such other lending office as it
may designate for the purpose from time to time, in the case of payments of fees
and other amounts payable hereunder. Banks shall have the right to alter
designated domestic lending offices upon notice to Administrative Agent and
Borrower.

      10.12 Substitution of Bank. Should any Bank fail to make a Loan in
violation of its obligations under this Agreement (a "Non-Advancing Bank"),
Administrative Agent shall (a) in its sole discretion fund the Loan on behalf of
the Non-Advancing Bank or (b) cooperate with Borrower or any other Bank to find
another Person that shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent and that shall
be willing to assume the Non-Advancing Bank's obligations under this Agreement
(including the obligation to make the Loan which the Non-Advancing Bank failed
to make but without assuming any liability for damages for failing to have made
such Loan or any previously required Loan). Subject to the provisions of the
next following sentence, such Person shall be substituted for the Non-Advancing
Bank hereunder upon execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an
agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent by such Person assuming the
Non-Advancing Bank's obligations under this Agreement, and all interest and fees
which would otherwise have been payable to the Non-Advancing Bank shall
thereafter be payable to such Person. Nothing in (and no action taken pursuant
to) this Section 10.12 shall relieve the Non-Advancing Bank from any liability
it might have to Borrower or to the other Banks as a result of its failure to
make any Loan.

      10.13 Participation.

         10.13.1 Nothing herein provided shall prevent any Bank from selling a
participation in one or more of its Commitments (and Loans made and Letters of
Credit issued thereunder); provided that (a) no such sale of a participation
shall alter such Bank's or Borrower's obligations hereunder, (b) any agreement
pursuant to which any Bank may grant a participation in its rights with respect
to its Commitment (Letters of Credit and Loans) shall provide that, with respect
to such Commitment (Letters of Credit and Loans), subject to the following
proviso, such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise
the rights of


                                      136
<PAGE>   151
such Bank, and enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to such Commitment
(Letters of Credit and Loans), including the right to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Bank
Document and the right to take action to have the Notes declared due and payable
pursuant to Article 8; provided, however, that such agreement may provide that
the participant may have rights to approve or disapprove decreases in
Commitments, interest rates or fees, lengthening of maturity of any Loans,
extend the payment date for any amount due under Article 2 hereof or release of
any material Collateral. No recipient of a participation in any Commitment or
Loans of any Bank shall have any rights under this Agreement or shall be
entitled to any reimbursement for Taxes, Other Taxes increased costs or reserve
requirements under Sections 2.6 or 2.8 or any other indemnity or payment rights
against Borrower (but shall be permitted to receive from the Bank granting such
participation a proportionate amount which would have been payable to the Bank
from whom such Person acquired its participation).

         10.13.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
Bank (a "Granting Bank") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a
"SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to
Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to provide to Borrower all or any
part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not
to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such
Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the
terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were
made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the
foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United
States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 10.13, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but
without the prior written consent of, Borrower and Administrative Agent and
without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its
interests in any Loans to the Granting Bank or to any financial institutions
(consented to by Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or
credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or
maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer
or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such
SPC. This section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC.

      10.14 Transfer of Commitment. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the
contrary, any Bank, after receiving Borrower's prior written consent as to the
identity of the assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed or, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
required, may from time to time, at its option, sell, assign, transfer,
negotiate or otherwise dispose of a portion of one or more of its Commitments
(and Loans made and Letters of Credit issued thereunder) (including the Bank's
interest in this


                                      137
<PAGE>   152
Agreement and the other Credit Documents) to any bank or other lending
institution which in such assigning Bank's judgment is reasonably capable of
performing the obligations of a Bank hereunder and reasonably experienced in
project financing; provided, however, that no Bank (including any assignee of
any Bank) may assign any portion of its Commitment (including Loans and Letters
of Credit) of less than $10,000,000 (unless to another Bank) and provided,
further, that assignments of any rights or obligations under any Letter of
Credit shall require the consent of the LC Bank; provided, further, that any
Bank may assign all or any portion of its Commitments to an Affiliate of such
Bank. In the event of any such assignment, (a) the assigning Bank's
Proportionate Share shall be reduced and its obligations hereunder released by
the amount of the Proportionate Share assigned to the new lender, (b) the
parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an
Assignment Agreement evidencing such sale, assignment, transfer or other
disposition substantially in the form of Exhibit L or otherwise satisfactory to
Administrative Agent together with an assignment fee payable to Administrative
Agent of $3,500 (provided such assignment fee shall not be required with respect
to the initial syndication of the Lead Arrangers' and Arrangers' Commitments)
and any other related documentation reasonably requested by Administrative
Agent, including without limitation such withholding tax certificates as may be
appropriate pursuant to Section 2.6.7, (c) at the assigning Bank's option,
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such new lender new Notes in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit B in a principal amount equal to such new lender's
Commitment, and Borrower shall execute and exchange with the assigning Bank a
replacement note for any Note in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by
the Bank, if any and (d) Administrative Agent may amend Exhibit H attached
hereto to reflect the Proportionate Shares of the Banks following such
assignment. Thereafter, such new lender shall be deemed to be a Bank and shall
have all of the rights and duties of a Bank (except as otherwise provided in
this Article 10), in accordance with its Proportionate Share, under each of the
Credit Documents.

      10.15 Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10,
no sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests
of any Bank hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall be allowed if it
would require registration under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as then
amended, any other federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws
or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Borrower shall, from time to time
at the request and expense of Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent, or to such party or parties as Administrative Agent may
designate, any and all further instruments as may in the opinion of
Administrative Agent be reasonably necessary or advisable to give full force and
effect to such disposition.

      10.16 Assignability to Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding any other
provision contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the
contrary, any Bank may assign all or any portion of the Loans or Notes held by
it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury 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,
provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans or Notes made by
Borrower to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Bank in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower's obligations
hereunder in respect of such assigned Loans or Notes to the extent of such
payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Bank from its
obligations hereunder.

Committee. In the event that any member of the Technical Committee at any time
reduces its Commitment to less than $10,000,000, ceases to be a Bank hereunder
or otherwise resigns from the Technical Committee, the remaining members of the
Technical Committee shall appoint a Bank as a successor member to the Technical
Committee; provided (i) such Bank shall be a Bank with one of the five largest
Commitments at such time among the Banks who are not then members of the
Technical Committee and (ii) Borrower does not reasonably disapprove of such
Bank within two Banking Days of receipt of notice of such Bank's appointment to
the Technical Committee.

promptly shall deliver all material documents, instruments and notices that it
receives hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to the Technical

replacements) shall be paid by Borrower.

to Administrative Agent to carry out the activities required of it in this

resulting from any decision made or not made, any action taken or not taken or
any advice given by such Independent Consultant in the due performance in good
faith


                                      139

any, or, if no Loan has taken place in any month, certificates delivered at the

of the progress of each Initial Project and Funded Subsequent Project to that
date, a complete assessment of Project Costs to Final Completion of such
Projects and such other information and certification as Administrative Agent
may reasonably require from time to time.

         11.3.2 Following Final Completion of each Project, Borrower shall
provide such documents and information to the Independent Consultants (subject
to the execution by such Independent Consultants of confidentiality agreements
reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower) as they may
reasonably consider necessary in order for the Independent Consultants to
deliver annually to Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth a full
report on the status of such Project and such other information and
certification as Administrative Agent may reasonably require from time to time.

      11.4 Certification of Dates. Administrative Agent will request that the
Independent Consultants act diligently in the issuance of all certificates
required to be delivered by the Independent Consultants hereunder, if their

given shall be effective upon receipt by the addressee, except that
communication or notice so transmitted by telecopy or other direct electronic
means shall be deemed to have been validly and effectively given on the day (if
a Banking Day and, if not, on the next following Banking Day) on which it is

      12.2 Additional Security; Right to Set-Off. Any deposits or other sums at

other property of Borrower in the possession of Administrative Agent may at all
times be treated as collateral security for the payment of the Loans and the
Notes and all other obligations of Borrower to Banks under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, and Borrower hereby pledges to Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Banks and grants Administrative Agent a security interest
in and to all such deposits, sums, securities or other property. Regardless of

or remedy accruing to the Banks upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or
Inchoate Default or any breach or default of the Portfolio Entities under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall impair any such right, power or
remedy of the Banks, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach
or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or
default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single Event of
Default, Inchoate Default or other breach or default be deemed a waiver of any
other Event of Default, Inchoate Default or other breach or default theretofore
or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character on the part of Administrative Agent and/or the Banks of any Event of
Default, Inchoate Default or other breach or default under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document, or any waiver on the part of Administrative Agent and/or
the Banks of any provision or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent in such
writing specifically set forth. All remedies, either under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or by law or otherwise afforded to Administrative Agent,

Agreement, including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Latham &

participation or syndication of the Loans or this Agreement, the reasonable
fees, expenses and disbursements of the Independent Consultants and any other

Lead Arrangers, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents
incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Loans subsequent to the

Agent, Lead Arrangers, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation
Agents the out-of-pocket costs and travel costs incurred by such Persons in
connection with syndication of the Loans or this Agreement; provided, however,
Borrower shall not be required to pay advertising costs of any of the Banks or
the fees of the Banks' attorneys, other than Latham & Watkins and associated
local counsel or the fees and costs of any engineers or consultants other than
the Independent Engineer and the Independent Consultant engaged by
Administrative Agent. Borrower will reimburse Administrative Agent, Lead
Arrangers, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents for all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred
by such Persons in enforcing this Agreement or the other Credit Documents in
connection with an Event of Default or Inchoate Default, in actions for

syndication, and to provide, for inclusion in any additional package, all
information which such Persons may request from it or which such Persons or
Borrower may consider material to a lender or participant, or necessary or
appropriate for accurate and complete disclosure. Upon request of Administrative
Agent, Lead Arrangers, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation
Agents, Borrower shall represent to such Persons, and indemnify such Persons for
claims relating to, the accuracy and completeness of such disclosure, upon terms
acceptable to such Persons.

      12.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any agreement, document or
instrument attached hereto or referred to herein integrate all the terms and
conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral
negotiations and prior writings in respect to the subject matter hereof. In the

and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. This Agreement and the other

signed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and any other parties to such
agreements.

      12.6 Governing Law. This Agreement, and any instrument or agreement
required hereunder (to the extent not otherwise expressly provided for therein),
shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of New York,
without reference to conflicts of laws (other than Section 5-1401 of the New
York General Obligations Law).

      12.7 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

      12.8 Headings. Paragraph headings have been inserted in this Agreement as
a matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed that such paragraph

interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP and practices consistent with
those applied in the preparation of the financial statements submitted by
Borrower to Administrative Agent, and all financial data submitted pursuant to
this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with such principles and
practices.

      12.10 Additional Financing.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the Banks
have made no agreement or commitment to provide any financing except as set
forth herein.

      12.11 No Partnership, Etc. The Banks and Borrower intend that the

contained in this Agreement, the Notes or in any of the other Credit Documents
shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, tenancy-in-common, joint
tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between the Banks, Borrower or any
other Person. The Banks shall not be in any way responsible or liable for the
debts, losses, obligations or duties of the Portfolio Entities or any other
Person with respect to any Project, Turbine or otherwise. All obligations to pay
real property or other taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and all other
fees and charges arising from the ownership, operation or occupancy of any
Project or Turbine and to perform all obligations and other agreements and
contracts relating to any Project or Turbine shall be the sole responsibility of
the Portfolio Entities.

      12.12 Deed of Trust/Collateral Documents. The Loans are or will be secured
in part by the Deeds of Trust encumbering certain properties associated with the
Projects in such Projects' respective states. Reference is hereby made to the

the rights, duties and obligations of the Portfolio Entities and the rights of
Administrative Agent and the Banks with respect to such security.

Entity, the Member, Calpine or any of their Affiliates, against the Banks or any
of their Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents for any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any breach or wrongful
conduct (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty
imposed by law), in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Operative Documents or
any act or


                                      144
<PAGE>   159
omission or event occurring in connection therewith except to the extent that
any such claims are caused by the willful misconduct of the Banks; and Borrower
hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such
damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist
in its favor.

      12.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BANKS AND BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OR
CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS
OF THE BANKS OR BORROWER. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BANKS
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

      12.15 Consent to Jurisdiction. The Banks and Borrower agree that any legal
action or proceeding by or against Borrower or with respect to or arising out of
this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Credit Document may be brought in or
removed to the courts of the State of New York, in and for the County of New
York, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York,
as Administrative Agent may elect. By execution and delivery of the Agreement,
the Banks and Borrower accept, for themselves and in respect of their property,
generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The
Banks and Borrower irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of
the aforementioned courts in any manner permitted by law. Nothing herein shall
affect the right of Administrative Agent to bring legal action or proceedings in
any other competent jurisdiction, including judicial or non-judicial foreclosure
of the Deed of Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, service of process shall
not be deemed served or mailed to Administrative Agent or the Banks until a copy
of all matters to be served have be mailed to Latham & Watkins, 701 B Street,
Suite 2100, San Diego, California 92101, Attn: Andrew Singer or such other
Person as Administrative Agent or the Banks may hereafter designate by notice
given pursuant to Section 12.1. The Banks and Borrower further agree that the
aforesaid courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America
shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any claim or counterclaim of
Borrower based upon the assertion that the rate of interest charged by the Banks
on or under this Agreement, the Loans and/or the other Credit Documents is
usurious. The Banks and Borrower hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any
action or proceeding under or in connection with any or all of any Project,
Turbine, this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought before the
foregoing courts on the basis of forum non-conveniens.

      12.16 Usury. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Notes shall be
deemed to require the payment of interest or other charges by Borrower or any

them or any of their properties or the Project are bound, which if adversely

Member, Calpine, any other such Major Project Participant or the Project could

Project, except as permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

                  4.18 No Portfolio Entity with respect to the Project has

to be made, extending the coverage of Title Policy to such date, including all

Property with respect to the Project is prior to any liens, encumbrances or

following statements, with respect to the _______ Project (the "Project") as of
_____________________.

         1.       We have read the provisions of Section 3.4.3 of the Credit
                  Agreement as it identifies the responsibilities of the
                  Independent Engineer related to providing this Independent
                  Engineer's Construction Certificate.

         2.       All defined terms set forth in this Independent Engineer's
                  Construction Certificate shall have respective meanings
                  specified in Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement unless
                  otherwise defined herein.

         3.       We have reviewed the material and data made available to us by
                  the Contractors with respect to the Project and the relevant
                  Portfolio Entities since the date of the last Construction
                  Drawdown Certificate with respect to the Project, consisting
                  of: the Construction Drawdown Certificate with respect to the
                  Project, dated ________________, and the Appendices and other
                  items attached thereto; drawings and specifications prepared
                  by ________________ and ________________; and work progress
                  documents consisting of ________________. We have also
                  observed the status of construction progress and startup
                  activities at the Project's Site (the "Site"). Our review and
                  observations were performed in accordance with generally
                  accepted consulting
<PAGE>   235
                  practices consisting of a walk-through of such Site conducted
                  on ____________, _____, observation of installed equipment and
                  material, observation of work procedures, review of "QA" and
                  "QC" reports as made available by the Contractors with respect
                  to the Project and attendance of the construction monthly
                  progress review meeting with respect to the Project. We have
                  reviewed paragraphs 4.1 through 4.7, 4.9, 4.11 through 4.13
                  and 4.15 of the Construction Drawdown Certificate with respect
                  to the Project (the "Current Construction Drawdown
                  Certificate"), dated ________________ (the "Drawdown Date"),
                  and we have previously reviewed the corresponding paragraphs
                  of all previous Construction Drawdown Certificates with
                  respect to the Project. We have also reviewed the materials
                  attached to the Current Construction Drawdown Certificate as
                  Attachment A, including each monthly progress report submitted
                  pursuant to each Construction Contract with respect to the
                  Project (the "Current Contractor Certificates"), and we have
                  reviewed the contractor certificates submitted with all
                  previous Construction Drawdown Certificates with respect to
                  the Project. We have also reviewed the following additional
                  material: _________________________.

         4.       To the extent practical, we have periodically reviewed the
                  progress of engineering, procurement and construction for the
                  Project and in the course of this review we have not
                  discovered any errors or omissions in the claims for materials
                  that have been procured and work performed under this and all
                  previous Borrowings.

         5.       Based on our review of the aforementioned information, and of
                  data provided to us by others which we have not independently
                  verified, we are of the opinion that, as of Drawdown Date:

                  a.       The estimated Project Costs to Final Completion
                           [ARE/ARE NOT] as set forth in the Current
                           Construction Drawdown Certificate. [IF NOT, CONTINUE
                           AS FOLLOWS: IN OUR OPINION, THE ESTIMATED PROJECT
                           COSTS TO FINAL COMPLETION VARY FROM THE ESTIMATED
                           PROJECT COSTS SET FORTH IN THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION
                           DRAWDOWN CERTIFICATE BECAUSE: [(STATE REASONS)];

                  b.       The aggregate amount of Project Costs for the Project
                           (not including financing fees and interest expenses
                           allocated to such Project but not reflected in such
                           Project's Project Budget and other expenses not
                           allocable to a Project) will not exceed 110% of the
                           anticipated aggregate amount of such Project Costs
                           for the Project as set forth in the Project's Project
                           Budget.

                  c.       The aggregate amount of Project Costs for all Initial
                           Projects and Funded Subsequent Projects under
                           construction as of the date hereof will not exceed
                           105% of the anticipated aggregate amount of Project
                           Costs for all such Projects as set forth in such
                           Projects' Project Budgets.

                           [IF THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF PROJECT COSTS FOR THE
                           PROJECT EXCEEDS 110% OF THE ANTICIPATED AGGREGATE
                           AMOUNT OF SUCH PROJECT COSTS, THEN CONTINUE AS
                           FOLLOWS:]

                  [__.     WE CONFIRM THAT THE COST OVERRUNS WITH RESPECT TO THE
                           PROJECT ARE NOT REASONABLY LIKELY TO EXCEED $______.]

                  [__.     THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF PROJECT COSTS FOR ALL INITIAL
                           PROJECTS AND FUNDED SUBSEQUENT PROJECTS UNDER

                           SUCH PROJECTS AS SET FORTH IN SUCH PROJECTS' PROJECT
                           BUDGETS.]

                  d.       Completion with respect to the Project will occur on
                           or before the Date Certain.

                  e.       Our scope of review [HAS/HAS NOT] brought to our
                           actual attention any errors in the information
                           contained in the paragraphs of the Current
                           Construction Drawdown Certificate or in the Current
                           Contractor Certificate referred to in paragraph 3 of
                           this Independent Engineer's Construction Certificate.
                           [IF ANY PARAGRAPH IN THE CURRENT DRAWDOWN CERTIFICATE
                           OR INFORMATION IN THE CURRENT CONTRACTOR CERTIFICATE
                           IS INCORRECT, LIST AND SPECIFY REASONS.]

                  f.       Except as disclosed in the Permit Schedule applicable
                           to the Project, to our knowledge, no other Permits or
                           governmental authorizations are required in
                           connection with the construction and operation of the
                           Project;

                  g.       The quality of construction performed with respect to
                           the Project during the period covered by this
                           Independent Engineer's Construction Certificate is
                           [SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY] and [APPEARS TO HAVE
                           BEEN/DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN] performed in a
                           good and workmanlike manner and in conformance with
                           the Construction Contracts with respect to the
                           Project; [IF UNSATISFACTORY, SPECIFY REASONS.]

                  h.       The work accomplished with respect to the Project
                           during the period covered by this Independent
                           Engineer's Construction Certificate [IS/IS NOT] in
                           accordance with the Project's Project Schedule; and
                           [IF NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SCHEDULE, SPECIFY
                           REASONS.]

                  i.       After giving effect to the Borrowings requested by
                           the Current Construction Drawdown Certificate, we
                           estimate Available Construction Funds to be
                           sufficient to pay remaining Project Costs for all
                           Initial Projects and Funded Subsequent Projects under
                           construction as of the date hereof (after giving
                           effect to any other Drawdown Certificates delivered
                           to Administrative Agent as of the date hereof).

         6.       To the best of our knowledge, there are no approved or
                  material proposed change orders which are not listed on
                  Appendix V to the Current Construction Drawdown Certificate or
                  that have not been listed in a previous Construction Drawdown
                  Certificate.

         7.       Without having specifically reviewed the matter, the
                  undersigned does not know of any pending or proposed changes
                  in any codes or regulations affecting the design, construction
                  or use of the Project which would affect completion of the
                  Project or the ability to obtain any certificates or permits
                  necessary for the use and operation of the Project.

                  Except as specified above, the undersigned has not discovered
any error in the matters set forth in the Current Construction Drawdown
Certificate or Current Contractor Certificate that are within its scope of work.

                                   ARTICLE 2

                        Appointment of Depositary Agent;

                            Establishment of Accounts

                  Section 2.1 Appointment of Depositary Agent. Depositary Agent
is hereby appointed by Borrower and by Administrative Agent as depositary agent

performance by Borrower of all of its covenants, agreements and obligations
under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment and

Accounts, all cash, cash equivalents, instruments, investments and other
securities at any time on deposit in the Accounts, and all proceeds of any of

Accounts shall constitute collateral security for the payment and performance by
Borrower of the Obligations, and shall at all times be subject to the control of
Administrative Agent, acting through Depositary Agent in respect of the Accounts
and shall be held in the custody of Depositary Agent in trust for the purposes
of, and on the terms set forth in, this Agreement.

                  Section 2.3 Accounts Maintained as UCC "Securities Accounts."
Depositary Agent hereby agrees and confirms that it has established the Accounts
as set forth and defined in this Agreement. Each of Depositary Agent and
Borrower agrees that (i) Depositary Agent is acting as "securities intermediary"
(within the meaning of Section 8-102(14) of the UCC) with respect to the
Accounts and the "financial assets" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9)
of the UCC, the "Financial Assets") credited to the Accounts; (ii) each such
Account established by Depositary Agent is and will be maintained as a
"securities account" (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC); (iii)
Borrower is an "entitlement holder" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7)
of the UCC) in respect of the Financial Assets credited to such Accounts and
with respect to such Accounts and Depositary Agent shall so note in its records
pertaining to such Financial Assets and Accounts; and (iv) all Financial Assets
in registered form or payable to or to order of and credited to any such Account
shall be registered in the name of, payable to or to the order of, or specially
endorsed to, Depositary Agent or in blank, or credited to another securities
account maintained in the name of Depositary Agent, and in no case will any
Financial


                                       2
<PAGE>   256
Asset credited to any such Account be registered in the name of, payable to or
to the order of, or endorsed to, Borrower except to the extent the foregoing
have been subsequently endorsed by Borrower to Depositary Agent or in blank.
Each item of property (including a security, security entitlement, investment
property, instrument or obligation, share, participation, interest or other
property whatsoever) credited to any Account shall be treated as a Financial
Asset. Until this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof,
Administrative Agent shall have "control" (within the meaning of Section
8-106(d)(2) of the UCC) of Borrower's "security entitlements" (within the
meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC, "Security Entitlements") with
respect to the Accounts and the Financial Assets credited to the Accounts. All
property delivered to Depositary Agent pursuant to this Agreement will be
promptly credited to the Accounts and shall be treated as Financial Assets. If
at any time Depositary Agent shall receive from Administrative Agent any
"entitlement order" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(8) of the UCC, an
"Entitlement Order") relating to the Accounts or Financial Assets credited to
the Accounts, Depositary Agent shall comply with such Entitlement Order without
further consent by Borrower or any other Person. In the event that Depositary
Agent receives conflicting Entitlement Orders relating to the Accounts or
Financial Assets credited to the Accounts from Administrative Agent and any
other Person (including, without limitation, Borrower), Depositary Agent shall
comply with the Entitlement Orders originated by Administrative Agent. Each of
Borrower and Depositary Agent agrees that it has not and will not execute and
deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement under which it agrees with
any Person other than Administrative Agent to comply with Entitlement Orders
originated by such Person relating to the Accounts or Financial Assets credited
to the Accounts. Except for the claims and interests of Administrative Agent and
Borrower in the Accounts and the Financial Assets credited to the Accounts,
neither Depositary Agent nor Borrower knows of any claim to, or interest in, any
Account or Financial Assets credited to the Accounts. If either Depositary Agent
or Borrower obtains knowledge that any Person has asserted a lien, encumbrance
or adverse claim against any or the Accounts or Financial Assets credited to the
Accounts, such party will promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof. In the
event that the Depositary Agent has or subsequently obtains by agreement,
operation of law or otherwise a Lien or security interest in any Account, any
Security Entitlement carried therein or credited thereto or any Financial Asset
that is the subject of any such Security Entitlement, Depositary Agent agrees
that such Lien or security interest shall be subordinate to the Lien and
security interest of the Administrative Agent. The Financial Assets standing to
the credit of the Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's
lien or any other right, and Depositary Agent shall not grant, permit or consent
to any other right or interest in such Financial Assets, in favor of any Person
(including the Depositary Agent) other than Administrative Agent.

                  Section 2.4 Borrower's Rights. Borrower shall not have any
rights or powers with respect to any amounts in the Accounts or any part thereof
except (i) as provided in Article 5 hereof and (ii) the right to have such
amounts applied in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Credit
Agreement.

                  Section 2.5 Creation of Accounts. Depositary Agent hereby
establishes at its office located in New York, New York, the following special,
segregated and irrevocable money collateral accounts and sub-accounts within
such accounts which shall be maintained at all times

Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, deliver a Disbursement
Instruction to the Depositary Agent requesting that such excess funds be
transferred to the Revenue Account.

         Section 4.2 Withdrawals from Construction Account. On the same Banking
Day on which Depositary Agent receives an Account Withdrawal Certificate from
Borrower, duly executed by Borrower and acknowledged and agreed to in writing by
Administrative Agent, requesting that funds be withdrawn and/or transferred from

                                   Investment

         Section 5.1 Permitted Investments. Depositary Agent shall invest any
money held in any Account in such Permitted Investments as directed in writing
by Borrower from time to time (or, if Administrative Agent shall have notified
Depositary Agent that Administrative Agent is exercising its power of attorney
to direct investments, by and at the discretion of Administrative Agent). In the
event that Depositary Agent has not received any such written directions,
Depositary Agent shall invest all available funds in a money market mutual fund
selected by Borrower. Any income or gain realized as a result of any such
investment shall be held as part of the applicable Account and reinvested as
provided in this Agreement until released in compliance with Article 4. Any
income tax payable on account of any such income or gain shall be paid by
Borrower. Depositary Agent shall have no liability for any loss resulting from
any such investment other than solely by reason of its willful misconduct or
gross negligence or bad faith or from failure to exercise such care in the
custody of any such investments as it does for accounts held by other customers
or in the custody of its own investments. Any such investment may be sold
(without regard to maturity date) by Depositary Agent whenever necessary to make
any distribution required by this Agreement. In addition, if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, any investment shall be liquidated and sold by
Depositary Agent if so directed in writing by Administrative Agent.

its duties under this Agreement is subject to the following terms and conditions
which the parties to this Agreement hereby agree shall govern and control with
respect to Depositary Agent's rights, duties, liabilities and immunities:

                  (a) Depositary Agent shall act as an agent only and shall not
be responsible or liable in any manner for soliciting any funds or for the
sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any funds or securities
deposited with or held by it, except as set forth in Section 6.1(c) hereof;

                  (b) Depositary Agent shall be protected in acting or
refraining from 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 contained therein, which Depositary Agent in good faith believes to
be genuine;

                  (c) Depositary Agent shall 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;

counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any
provision of this Agreement;

                  (e) Depositary Agent shall have no duties as Depositary Agent
except those which are expressly set forth in this Agreement and in any
modification or amendment hereof; provided, however, that no such modification
or amendment shall affect Depositary Agent's duties unless Depositary Agent
shall have given its prior written consent to such modification or amendment;

                  (f) Depositary Agent may execute or perform any duties under
this Agreement either directly or through agents or attorneys;

                  (g) Depositary Agent may engage or be interested in any
financial or other transactions with any party to this Agreement and may act on,
or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of
obligations of such Persons as freely as if it were not Depositary Agent
hereunder; and

                  (h) Depositary Agent shall not be obligated to take any action
which in its reasonable judgment would involve it in expense or liability unless
it has been furnished with reasonable indemnity.

         Section 6.2 Resignation or Removal.

                  (a) Depositary Agent 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 Agent as provided below.

time by giving notice to each other party to this Agreement, such removal to be
effective upon the appointment of successor Depositary Agent as provided below.

Agent, a successor Depositary Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company
organized under the laws of the United States America or of the State of New
York, having a corporate trust office in New York and a capital and surplus of

consultation with Borrower. If a successor Depositary Agent shall not have been
appointed and accepted its appointment as Depositary Agent within 45 days after
such notice of resignation of Depositary Agent or such notice of removal of
Depositary Agent, Depositary Agent, Administrative Agent or Borrower may apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Depositary Agent
to act until such time, if any, as a successor Depositary Agent shall have
accepted its appointment as provided above. A successor Depositary Agent so
appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded
by any successor Depositary Agent appointed by Administrative Agent as provided
above. Any such successor Depositary Agent shall be capable of acting as a
"securities intermediary" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(14) of the UCC)
and shall deliver to each party to this Agreement a written instrument accepting
such appointment and thereupon such


                                       9
<PAGE>   263
successor Depositary Agent shall succeed to all the rights and duties of

Accounts from the predecessor Depositary Agent.

available money in any Account at any time, in addition to any money then on
deposit in such Account, Depositary Agent shall treat as on deposit or as

Agent on such day if Depositary Agent had liquidated all the Permitted
Investments (at then prevailing market prices) then on deposit in such Account.

agrees to pay the fees of Depositary Agent as compensation for its services
under this Agreement. In addition, Borrower and Administrative Agent hereby
agree that (a) Depositary Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents
(each such Person being called a "Depositary Agent Indemnitee") are released
from any and all liabilities to Borrower and Administrative Agent arising from
the terms or in connection with this Agreement and the compliance of any
Depositary Agent Indemnitee with the terms hereof, except to the extent that
such liabilities arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Depositary Agent Indemnitee, and (b) Borrower, Administrative Agent and their
respective successors and assigns shall at all times indemnify and save harmless
the Depositary Agent Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, actions
and suits of others arising out of the terms of this Agreement or the compliance
of any Depositary Agent Indemnitee with the terms hereof, whether or not any
Depositary Agent Indemnitee is a party thereto, except to the extent that such
claims, actions or suits arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Depositary Agent Indemnitee, and from and against any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and other expenses of

Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of Depositary Agent. All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be
made without setoff or counterclaim.

         Section 8.2 Waiver of Right of Set-Off. Depositary Agent waives, with

                                    AGREEMENT

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth
above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, and as an inducement to Project Owner to enter
into the Relevant Documents with the Affiliated Parties, Guarantor hereby
consents and agrees as follows:

                  1.                Guaranty.

                           (a) The undersigned Guarantor, as primary obligor and
not merely as surety, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Project
Owner payment and performance when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of
any and all obligations and liabilities of each of the Affiliated Parties under
the Relevant Documents, together with all expenses incurred by Project Owner in
enforcing any of such obligations and liabilities or the terms hereof,
including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel
(collectively, the "Obligations"), and agrees that if for any reason any of the
Affiliated Parties shall fail to pay or perform when due any of such
Obligations, Guarantor will pay or perform the same forthwith (it being
understood that Guarantor's liability hereunder shall be subject to the same
limitations of liability as the Affiliated Parties' liability under the Relevant
Documents). Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any
obligation to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof, and waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, notice of dishonor or non-payment,
protest, notice of protest, of any such obligations, suit or taking other action
by Project Owner against, and giving any notice of default or other notice to,
or making any demand on, any party liable thereon (including Guarantor).

                           (b) This Guaranty is a primary obligation of the
Guarantor and is an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty
of payment and performance and not of collectibility and is in no way
conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt to enforce in whole or in part any
of the Affiliated Parties' liabilities and obligations to Project Owner. If any
of the Affiliated Parties shall fail to pay or perform any of the Obligations to
Project Owner as and when they are due, Guarantor shall forthwith pay or
perform, as applicable, such Obligations. Any and all payments by Guarantor
hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. Each failure by any of the
Affiliated Parties to pay or perform any Obligations shall give rise to a
separate cause of action herewith, and separate suits may be brought hereunder
as each cause of action arises.


                                       2
<PAGE>   277
                           (c) Project Owner may, at any time and from time to
time (whether or not after revocation or termination of this Guaranty) without
the consent of or notice to Guarantor, except such notice as may be required by
the Relevant Documents or applicable law which cannot be waived, without
incurring responsibility to Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and
in whole or in part, (i) change the manner, place and terms of payment or
performance or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, or alter any
Obligation, or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof or in
any manner modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Relevant Documents, any
documents, instruments or agreements executed in connection therewith, in each
case with the consent of the relevant Affiliated Parties, if required by the
Relevant Documents, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Obligations,
changed, extended, renewed, modified, amended, supplemented or altered in any
manner; (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any of the
Affiliated Parties or others (including Guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain
from acting; (iii) add or release any other guarantor from its obligations
without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder; (iv)
settle or compromise any Obligations and/or any obligations and liabilities
(including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to
the payment of any obligations and liabilities which may be due to Project Owner
or others; (v) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise
deal with in any manner or in any order any property by whomsoever pledged or
mortgaged to secure or howsoever securing the Obligations or any liabilities or
obligations (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof and/or any offset thereagainst; (vi) apply any sums
by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligations and liabilities of
any of the Affiliated Parties to Project Owner under the Relevant Documents in
the manner provided therein regardless of what obligations and liabilities
remain unpaid; (vii) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or
default under, the Relevant Documents or otherwise amend, modify or supplement
(with the consent of the relevant Affiliated Parties, if required by the
Relevant Documents) the Relevant Documents or any of such other instruments or
agreements; and/or (viii) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this
Guaranty which may deprive Guarantor of its right to subrogation against any of
the Affiliated Parties to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant
to this Guaranty or of its right of contribution against any other party.

                           (d) No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
of the obligations or liabilities hereby guaranteed shall affect, impair, or be
a defense to this Guaranty, which is a primary obligation of Guarantor.

                           (e) This is a continuing Guaranty and all obligations
to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively
presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. In the event that,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(a) hereof, this Guaranty shall be
deemed revocable in accordance with applicable law, then any such revocation
shall become effective only upon receipt by Project Owner of written notice of
revocation signed by Guarantor. No revocation or termination hereof shall affect
in any manner rights arising under this Guaranty with respect to Obligations (i)
arising prior to receipt by Project Owner of written notice of such revocation
or termination and the sole effect of revocation and termination hereof shall be
to exclude from this Guaranty Obligations thereafter arising which are


                                       3
<PAGE>   278
unconnected with Obligations theretofore arising or transactions theretofore
entered into or (ii) arising as a result of a default under the Relevant
Documents occurring by reason of the revocation or termination of this Guaranty.

                           (f) (i) Except as otherwise required by law, each
payment required to be made by Guarantor to Project Owner hereunder shall be
made without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If such
deduction or withholding is so required, Guarantor shall, upon notice thereof
from Project Owner, (A) pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to
the appropriate authorities before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues
thereon, (B) on or before the 60th day after payment of such amount, forward to
Project Owner an official receipt evidencing such payment (or a certified copy
thereof), and (C) in the case of any such deduction or withholding, forthwith
pay to Project Owner such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that
the net amount actually received by Project Owner is free and clear of such
Taxes, including any Taxes on such additional amount, is equal to the amount
that Project Owner would have received had there been no such deduction or
withholding.

                                    (ii) As used herein, the term "Tax" means
any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any
nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by
any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this
Guaranty other than any income, franchise or similar tax imposed upon the gross
or net income of Project Owner by the United States or any State or any
jurisdiction where Project Owner is organized and/or the jurisdiction in which
is located.

                  2. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor makes the
representations and warranties set forth below to Project Owner as of the date
hereof:

                           (a) Guarantor is duly formed, validly existing and in

                                       4
<PAGE>   279

Guarantor's knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting Guarantor
before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which might reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the financial condition, results of

perform its obligations under this Guaranty.

                           (g) Guarantor possesses all franchises, certificates,
licenses, permits and other governmental authorizations and approvals necessary

Power Act.

                           (i) Guarantor has established adequate means of

                           (a) It will maintain in full force and effect all
consents of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained

necessary in the future;

                           (b) It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply

                           (c) Promptly, and in any event within 30 Banking Days
after the General Counsel of Guarantor obtains knowledge thereof, Guarantor will
give to Project Owner notice of the occurrence of any event or of any litigation
or governmental proceeding pending (i) against Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates which could affect the business, operations, property, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor so as to materially and
adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder
or (ii) with respect to this Guaranty, which event or pending proceeding is
likely to materially and adversely affect the business, operations, property,
assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor and its Affiliates
taken as a whole;

                           (d) It will deliver such other documents and other
information reasonably requested by Project Owner; and

                           (e) It will comply in all material respects with its
certificate of incorporation.

                  4. Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights
and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not
to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Project Owner to proceed against any of the
Affiliated Parties or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any
security held by Project Owner at any time or to pursue any other remedy in
Project Owner's power before proceeding against Guarantor, (b) any defense that
may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of power or authority, death,
dissolution, merger, termination or disability of any of the Affiliated Parties
or any other Person or the failure of Project Owner to file or enforce a claim
against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of
any of the Affiliated Parties or any other Person, (c) demand, presentment,
protest and notice of any kind, including without limitation notice of the
existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or
obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of any of the Affiliated
Parties, Project Owner, any endorser or creditor of any of the Affiliated
Parties or Guarantor or on the part of any other person under this or any other
instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by
Project Owner as collateral or in connection with any Obligations, (d) any
defense based upon an election of remedies by Project Owner, including without
limitation an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial
foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of
Guarantor, the right of Guarantor to proceed against any of the Affiliated
Parties for reimbursement, or both, (e) any defense based on any offset against
any amounts which may be owed by any Person to Guarantor for any reason
whatsoever, (f) any defense based on any act, failure to act, delay or omission
whatsoever on the part of any of the Affiliated Parties or the failure by any of
the Affiliated Parties to do any act or thing or to observe or perform any
covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by it under the
Relevant Documents, (g) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which
provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in
other respects more burdensome than that of the principal provided, that, upon
payment in full of the Obligations, this Guaranty shall no longer be of any
force or effect, (h) any defense, setoff or counterclaim which may at any time
be available to or asserted by any of the Affiliated Parties against Project
Owner or any other Person under the Relevant Documents, (i) any duty on the part
of Project Owner to disclose to Guarantor any facts Project Owner may now


                                       6
<PAGE>   281
or hereafter know about any of the Affiliated Parties, regardless of whether
Project Owner have reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the
risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or have reason to believe
that such facts are unknown to Guarantor, or have a reasonable opportunity to
communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor
is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition
of any of the Affiliated Parties and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of
non-payment of any obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact
that Guarantor may at any time in the future dispose of all or part of its
direct or indirect interest in any of the Affiliated Parties, (k) any defense
based on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment under, or in any
other term of, the Relevant Documents or any other amendment, renewal,
extension, acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure
from the terms of the Relevant Documents, (l) any defense arising because of
Project Owner's election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, and (m) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a
security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

                  5. Subordination. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Guaranty, all existing and future indebtedness of any of the Affiliated
Parties to Guarantor (except to the extent such indebtedness is incurred in the
ordinary course of business and relates to costs of materials or services
provided pursuant to or consistent with the Relevant Documents) and the right of
Guarantor to withdraw any capital invested by Guarantor in any of the Affiliated
Parties, is hereby subordinated to all obligations and liabilities hereby
guaranteed. Without the prior written consent of Project Owner or Administrative
Agent, such subordinated indebtedness shall not be paid or withdrawn in whole or
in part, nor shall Guarantor accept any payment of or on account of any such
indebtedness or as a withdrawal of capital while this Guaranty is in effect. Any
payment by any of the Affiliated Parties in violation of this Guaranty shall be
received by Guarantor in trust for Project Owner, and Guarantor shall cause the
same to be paid to Project Owner immediately upon demand by Project Owner on
account of the relevant Affiliated Parties' obligations and liabilities hereby
guaranteed. Guarantor shall not assign all or any portion of such indebtedness
while this Guaranty remains in effect except upon prior written notice to
Project Owner by which the assignee of any such indebtedness agrees that the
assignment is made subject to the terms of this Guaranty, and that any attempted
assignment of such indebtedness in violation of the provisions hereof shall be
void.

                  6. Subrogation. Until the Obligations have been paid in full,
(a) Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation and waives all rights to
enforce any remedy which Project Owner now have or may hereafter have against
any of the Affiliated Parties, and waives the benefit of, and all rights to
participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Project Owner from any of
the Affiliated Parties and (b) Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy which
Guarantor now has or hereafter acquire against any of the Affiliated Parties
that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by the Guarantor hereunder
including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in
any claim, right or remedy of Project Owner against any of the Affiliated
Parties, or any security which Project Owner now has or may hereafter acquire,
whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by
statute, under common law or otherwise.

                  7. Bankruptcy.

                           (a) So long as any of the Obligations are owed to
Project Owner, Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Project
Owner, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against any of the Affiliated Parties.
The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited
or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or arrangement
of any of the Affiliated Parties, or by any defense which any of the Affiliated
Parties may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or
administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

                           (b) So long as any Obligations are owed to Project
Owner, to the extent of such Obligations, Guarantor shall file, in any
bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or
permitted by law, all claims which Guarantor may have against any of the
Affiliated Parties relating to any indebtedness of any of the Affiliated Parties
to Guarantor, and hereby assigns to Project Owner all rights of Guarantor
thereunder. If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Project Owner, is hereby
authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Project Owner's discretion,
to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of claim to be filed in the
name of Project Owner's nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with
an interest and cannot be revoked. Project Owner or its nominee shall have the
sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to
take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all
such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person
authorized to pay such a claim shall pay the same to Project Owner to the extent
of any Obligations which then remain unpaid, and, to the full extent necessary
for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Project Owner all of Guarantor's
rights to all such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise
be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not
be satisfied except to the extent that Project Owner receives cash by reason of
any such payment or distribution. If Project Owner receives anything hereunder
other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this
Guaranty.

                  8. Successions or Assignments.

                           (a) This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the
successors or assigns of Project Owner who shall have, to the extent of its
interest, the rights of Project Owner hereunder.

                           (b) This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its
successors and assigns. Guarantor is not entitled to assign its obligations
hereunder to any other person without the written consent of Project Owner and
Administrative Agent, and any purported assignment in violation of this
provision shall be void.

                  9. Waivers.

                           (a) No delay on the part of Project Owner in
exercising any of its rights (including those hereunder) and no partial or
single exercise thereof and no action or non-action by Project Owner, with or
without notice to Guarantor or anyone else, shall constitute a waiver of any
rights or shall affect or impair this Guaranty.

                           (b) GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS GUARANTY AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
GUARANTOR AND Project Owner THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP,
THAT Project Owner HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY, AND
THAT Project Owner WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE
DEALINGS. GUARANTOR FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS
WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS
JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

                  10. Interpretation. The section headings in this Guaranty are

construction of any provision hereof.

appropriate telex or telecopier number or address, as the case may be, set forth

written consent of the parties hereto.

                  13. Jurisdiction; Governing Law.

                  B. Administrative Agent and the Banks have agreed to enter

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth
above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged and as an inducement to Administrative Agent and
the Banks to enter into the Credit Agreement with Borrower, Guarantor hereby

<PAGE>   288
                  1. Guaranty.

                           (a) The undersigned Guarantor, as primary obligor and
not merely as surety, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Banks
(i) the performance, when due, of the obligations of Borrower under Section 5.14
of the Credit Agreement to achieve Completion of each of the Initial Projects
and the Funded Subsequent Projects (including with respect to any partially
owned Projects), (ii) the payment, when due, of the obligations of Borrower
under Section 5.17.1, 5.17.2 and 5.17.3(x) of the Credit Agreement and (iii) if
Borrower is unable to obtain a disbursement of Loan proceeds under the Credit
Agreement for any Project for which the requirements of Section 5.14 of the
Credit Agreement have not been waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement for a period of 60 consecutive days after a request for the same
pursuant to a Drawdown Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.4 of the
Credit Agreement, the prompt payment, when due, of the Project Costs for which
funds were requested in such Drawdown Certificate, in each case together with
the payment of all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or the Banks in
enforcing any of such obligations and liabilities or the terms hereof,
including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel
(collectively, the "Obligations"), and agrees that if for any reason Borrower
shall fail to pay or perform, as the case may be, when due any of such
Obligations, Guarantor will pay or perform, as the case may be, the same
forthwith; provided, however, if the default giving rise to the potential
exercise of remedies is susceptible of cure and the failure to so exercise
remedies could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Banks shall not exercise any remedies in
the nature of foreclosure on or sale of any Collateral, appointment of a
receiver, entry into possession of any Project or other remedies under the
Credit Documents intended to or having the effect of depriving Borrower or any
other Portfolio Entity of the use, possession or enjoyment of any of the
Projects as a result of an Event of Default thereunder for 90 days so long as
Guarantor is diligently pursuing performance of the Obligations and/or
diligently attempting to refinance all outstanding Loans under the Credit
Agreement; provided, further, that if the Obligations under clause (ii) above
have been performed, Guarantor's liability with respect to the Obligations under
clause (i) above shall be limited to the excess of the cost of achieving
Completion of the applicable Projects over the amounts deposited or contributed
pursuant to Section 5.17.3 of the Credit Agreement. Guarantor waives notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty and of any obligation to which it applies or may
apply under the terms hereof, and waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment or performance, notice of dishonor or non-payment or non-performance,
protest, notice of protest, of any such obligations, suit or taking other action
by the Banks against, and giving any notice of default or other notice to, or
making any demand on, any party liable thereon (including Guarantor).

                           (b) This Guaranty is a primary obligation of
Guarantor and is an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty
of payment and performance, as the case may be, of the Obligations and not of
collectibility, and is in no way conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt
to enforce in whole or in part Borrower's or any other Portfolio Entity's
liabilities and obligations to the Banks. If Borrower shall fail to pay or
perform, as the case may be, any of the Obligations to the Banks as and when
they are due, Guarantor shall forthwith pay or perform, as the case may be, such
Obligations immediately (in the case of payment obligations, in immediately
available funds). Each failure by Borrower to pay or perform, as the case may
be, any Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action herewith, and
separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

                           (c) The Banks may, at any time and from time to time
(whether or not after revocation or termination of this Guaranty) without the
consent of or notice to Guarantor, except such notice as may be required by the
Credit Documents or applicable law which cannot be waived, without incurring
responsibility to Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of
Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in
part, (i) change the manner, place and terms of payment or performance or change
or extend the time of payment or performance of, or renew or alter, any
Obligation, or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those
hereunder)


                                       2

incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof or in any manner
modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Credit Documents (including
provisions with respect to the Completion of the Projects), any documents,
instruments or agreements executed in connection therewith, in each case with
the consent of Borrower or such other relevant Portfolio Entity, if required by
the Credit Documents, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the
Obligations changed, extended, renewed, modified, amended, supplemented or
altered in any manner; (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity or others (including Guarantor) or
otherwise act or refrain from acting; (iii) add or release any other guarantor
from its obligations without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder; (iv) settle or compromise any Obligations and/or any obligations and
liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment or performance of
all or any part thereof to the payment or performance of any obligations and
liabilities which may be due to the Banks or others; (v) sell, exchange,
release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner or in any
order any property by whomsoever pledged or mortgaged to secure or howsoever
securing the Obligations or any liabilities or obligations (including any of
those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof
and/or any offset thereagainst; (vi) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or
howsoever realized to any obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to the Banks under the Credit Documents in the manner provided
therein regardless of what obligations and liabilities remain unpaid; (vii)
consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, the
Credit Documents (including provisions with respect to the Completion of the
Projects) or otherwise amend, modify or supplement (with the consent of Borrower
or such other relevant Portfolio Entity, if required by the Credit Documents)
the Credit Documents (including provisions with respect to the Completion of the
Projects) or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or (viii) act or
fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive
Guarantor of its right to subrogation against Borrower to recover full indemnity
for any payments or performances made pursuant to this Guaranty or of its right
of contribution against any other party.

                           (d) No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
of the obligations or liabilities hereby guaranteed shall affect, impair or be a
defense to this Guaranty, which is a primary obligation of Guarantor.

                           (e) This is a continuing Guaranty and all obligations
to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively
presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. In the event that,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(a) hereof, this Guaranty shall be
deemed revocable in accordance with applicable law, then any such revocation
shall become effective only upon receipt by Administrative Agent of written
notice of revocation signed by Guarantor. No revocation or termination hereof
shall affect in any manner rights arising under this Guaranty with respect to
Obligations arising prior to receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice
of such revocation or termination.

                           (f) (i) Except as otherwise required by law, each
payment required to be made by Guarantor to the Banks hereunder shall be made
without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If such deduction
or withholding is so required, Guarantor shall, upon notice thereof from
Administrative Agent, (A) pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to
the appropriate authorities before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues
thereon, (B) on or before the 60th day after payment of such amount, forward to
the Banks an official receipt evidencing such payment (or a certified copy
thereof), and (C) in the case of any such deduction or withholding, forthwith
pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks such additional amount
as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Banks
is free and clear of such Taxes, including any Taxes on such additional amount,
is equal to the amount that the Banks would have received had there been no such
deduction or withholding.


                                       3
<PAGE>   290
                               (ii) As used herein, the term "Tax" means any
present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any
nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by
any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this
Guaranty other than (A) any income, franchise or similar tax imposed upon the
gross or net income of Administrative Agent or any Bank by the United States,
New York State, any jurisdiction where Administrative Agent or any Bank is
organized and/or the jurisdiction in which is located any office from or at
which Administrative Agent or any Bank is making or maintaining any Loans or
receiving any payments under any of the Credit Documents and (B) any stamp,
registration, documentation or similar tax.

                           (g) In fulfilling its obligations hereunder with
respect to the Obligations set forth in Section 1(a)(i) hereof, but subject to
the provisions of Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement, Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, promises and agrees to perform and
comply with Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement. The words "perform and comply
with" are used in their most comprehensive sense and include without limitation
(i) the payment of all costs and expenses with respect to the construction of
the Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects and the construction of
such Projects within the time and in the manner set forth in Section 5.14 of the
Credit Agreement, (ii) the payment, satisfaction or discharge of all Liens
(other than Permitted Liens other than the Liens described in clause (c) of the
definition of "Permitted Liens") arising out of or relating to the construction
and Completion of, and that are or may be imposed upon or asserted against, the
Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects and (iii) the defense and
indemnification of the Banks against all such Liens, whether arising from the
furnishing of labor, materials, supplies or equipment, from taxes, assessments,
fees or other charges, from injuries or damage to persons or property, or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor agrees
(A) to cause any and all costs of achieving Completion of each of the Initial
Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects, including without limitation the
costs of all labor, materials, supplies and equipment related thereto and any
and all costs and cost overruns prior to such Completion, to be funded, paid and
satisfied from Guarantor's own resources as the same shall become due and (B) to
cause the Completion of each of the Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent
Projects, using Guarantor's own resources, in a timely, good and workmanlike
manner, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents; provided, however,
that Guarantor shall not be required to pay any performance and/or other
liquidated damages due and owing from a Contractor (other than a Contractor that
is an Affiliate of Guarantor) under a Construction Contract; provided, further,
Guarantor's liability with respect to such liquidated damages shall be limited
to the amount specified in clause (vi)(B) of the definition of "Completion" less
the amount of any such liquidated damages determined to be due and owing from
any applicable Contractors.

                  2. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor makes the
representations and warranties set forth below to Administrative Agent and the
Banks as of the date hereof:

                           (a) Guarantor is duly formed, validly existing and in

judgment or decree applicable to or binding on Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates or properties; (ii) do not and will not contravene, or result in any
breach of or constitute any default under, any agreement or instrument to which

                           (f) There is no pending or, to the best of
Guarantor's knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting Guarantor
before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which might reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the financial condition, results of
operations, business or prospects of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to
perform its obligations under this Guaranty.

                           (g) All quarterly and annual financial statements
heretofore delivered by Guarantor to Administrative Agent are true, correct and
complete, do not fail to disclose any material liabilities, whether direct or
contingent, fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of the date
delivered and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied.

                           (h) Guarantor possesses all franchises, certificates,

for it to own its properties, conduct its businesses and perform its obligations
under this Guaranty.

                           (i) Guarantor is not an investment company or a
company controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the

Power Act.

                           (j) Guarantor has established adequate means of
obtaining financial and other information pertaining to the businesses,
operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and the other
Portfolio Entities and their respective properties on a continuing basis, and

Portfolio Entities and their respective properties.

                           (k) (i) Guarantor is not, and will not as a result of
the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, be rendered insolvent, (ii)
Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe it is incurring, obligations
beyond its ability to pay or perform and (iii) Guarantor's property remaining
after the delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not constitute
unreasonably small capital.

                           (l) Guarantor is not in default under any material
agreement relating to the incurrence of debt to which it is a party.

                  3. Covenants. So long as any Obligations are outstanding,
Guarantor agrees that:

                           (a) It will maintain in full force and effect all
consents of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained
by it with respect to this Guaranty and will obtain any that may become

<PAGE>   292
                           (b) It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this
Guaranty;

                           (c) Promptly, and in any event within 30 Banking Days
after the General Counsel of Guarantor obtains knowledge thereof, Guarantor will
give to Administrative Agent notice of the occurrence of any event or of any
litigation or governmental proceeding pending (i) against Guarantor or any of
its Affiliates which could affect the business, operations, property, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor so as to materially and
adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder
or (ii) with respect to this Guaranty, which event or pending proceeding is
likely to materially and adversely affect the business, operations, property,
assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor and its Affiliates
taken as a whole;

                           (d) It will deliver such other documents and other
information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent;

                           (e) It will comply in all material respects with its

Subsidiaries (without giving effect to any losses) for each Fiscal Quarter
ending on or after September 30, 2000, plus (C) 100% of the Net Equity Proceeds
from any equity offering by Guarantor after June 30, 2000;

                                    (ii) Leverage Ratio to be greater than .85

                                    (iii) Interest Coverage Ratio as of the end

comprising the four previous Fiscal Quarters; or

                                    (iv) Interest Coverage Ratio (Parent Only)
as of the end of any Fiscal Quarter to be less than 1.60 to 1.00 for the 12
month period comprising the four previous Fiscal Quarters.

Guarantor shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to Administrative Agent
as soon as possible and in any event within 60 days after the end of each of the
first three Fiscal Quarters of each Fiscal Year and within 120 days after the
end of each Fiscal Year, a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer of
Guarantor, showing (in reasonable detail and with appropriate calculations and
computations in all respects reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent)
compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 3(f).

Capitalized terms used in this Section 3(f) and defined in Appendix A attached
hereto shall have the meanings given therein.

                  4. Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights
and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not
to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the Banks to proceed
against Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any
security held by Administrative Agent or the Banks at any time or to pursue any
other remedy in Administrative Agent's or the Banks' power before proceeding
against Guarantor, (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity,
lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination or
disability


                                       6
<PAGE>   293
of Borrower or any other Person or the failure of Administrative Agent or the
Banks to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration,
bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Borrower or any other Person, (c) demand,
presentment, protest and notice of any kind except as provided herein, including
without limitation notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or
additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part
of Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Banks, any endorser or creditor of
Borrower or Guarantor or on the part of any other Person under this or any other
instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by
Administrative Agent or the Banks as collateral or in connection with any
Obligations, (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by
Administrative Agent or the Banks, including without limitation an election to
proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or
otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor, the right of Guarantor to
proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, or both, (e) any defense based on
any offset against any amounts which may be owed by any Person to Guarantor for
any reason whatsoever, (f) any defense based on any act, failure to act, delay
or omission whatsoever on the part of Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity of
the failure by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity to do any act or thing or
to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or
performed by it under the Credit Documents, (g) any defense based upon any
statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal provided, that, upon payment or performance in full of the
Obligations, this Guaranty shall no longer be of any force or effect, (h) any
defense, setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or
asserted by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity against Administrative Agent,
the Banks or any other Person under the Credit Documents, (i) any duty on the
part of Administrative Agent or the Banks to disclose to Guarantor any facts
Administrative Agent or the Banks may now or hereafter know about Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or the
Banks have reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk
beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or have reason to believe that
such facts are unknown to Guarantor, or have a reasonable opportunity to
communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor
is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition
of Borrower and the other Portfolio Entities and of all circumstances bearing on
the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any obligations and liabilities
hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact that Guarantor may at any time in the future
dispose of all or part of its direct or indirect interest in Borrower or any
other Portfolio Entity, (k) any defense based on any change in the time, manner
or place of any payment or performance under, or in any other term of, the
Credit Documents (including provisions with respect to the Completion of the
Projects) or any other amendment, renewal, extension, acceleration, compromise
or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms of the Credit Documents
(including provisions with respect to the Completion of the Projects), (l) any
defense arising because of Administrative Agent's or the Banks' election, in any
proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of
Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and (m) any defense based
upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code.

                  5. Subordination. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Guaranty, all existing and future indebtedness of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to Guarantor (except to the extent such indebtedness consists
of approved operating expenses or other O&M Costs with respect to materials or
services provided consistent with an applicable Annual Operating Budget) and the
right of Guarantor to withdraw any capital invested by Guarantor in Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity, is hereby subordinated to all obligations and
liabilities hereby guaranteed. Without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, such subordinated indebtedness shall not be paid or
withdrawn in whole or in part, nor shall Guarantor accept any payment of or on
account of any such indebtedness or as a withdrawal of capital while the Credit
Agreement is in effect except from distributions permitted under Waterfall Level
8 and 10 of Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement or as permitted under Section
3.10(b) of the Credit Agreement. Any payment by Borrower in violation of this
Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for Administrative Agent and
the Banks, and Guarantor shall cause the same to be paid


                                       7
<PAGE>   294
to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks immediately upon demand by
Administrative Agent on account of Borrower's obligations and liabilities hereby
guaranteed. Guarantor shall not assign all or any portion of such indebtedness
while the Credit Agreement remains in effect except upon prior written notice to
Administrative Agent by which the assignee of any such indebtedness agrees that
the assignment is made subject to the terms of this Guaranty, and that any
attempted assignment of such indebtedness in violation of the provisions hereof
shall be void.

                  6. Subrogation. So long as the Credit Agreement remains in
effect, (a) Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation and waives all
rights to enforce any remedy which the Banks now have or may hereafter have
against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, and waives the benefit of, and
all rights to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by
Administrative Agent or the Banks from Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity
and (b) Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have
or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity that arises
hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder including, without
limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right
or remedy of the Banks against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, or any
security which the Banks now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such
claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under
common law or otherwise.

                  7. Bankruptcy.

                           (a) So long as the Credit Agreement remains in
effect, Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Borrower or any other Portfolio
Entity. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered,
limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or arrangement
of Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, or by any defense which Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity may have by reason of any order, decree or decision
of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

                           (b) So long as the Credit Agreement remains in
effect, to the extent of any Obligations, Guarantor shall file, in any
bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or
permitted by law, all claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower or any
other Portfolio Entity relating to any indebtedness of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to Guarantor, and hereby assigns to Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Banks all rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not
file any such claim, Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is
hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Administrative
Agent's discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of
claim to be filed in the name of Administrative Agent's nominee. The foregoing
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have the sole right to accept or
reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to take any other action
which a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in
administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person authorized to pay such a
claim shall pay the same to Administrative Agent to the extent of any
Obligations which then remain unpaid, and, to the full extent necessary for that
purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Administrative Agent all of Guarantor's
rights to all such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise
be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not
be satisfied except to the extent that Administrative Agent receives cash by
reason of any such payment or distribution. If Administrative Agent receives
anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for
amounts due under this Guaranty.

                  8. Successions or Assignments.

                           (a) This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the
successors or assigns of the Banks who shall have, to the extent of their
interest, the rights of the Banks hereunder; provided, however, that the rights
of the Banks hereunder, if any be retained by them, shall have priority over and
be senior to the rights of its successors or assigns unless Administrative Agent
shall otherwise elect.

                           (b) This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its
successors and assigns. Guarantor is not entitled to assign its obligations
hereunder to any other person without the written consent of Administrative
Agent, and any purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be
void.

                  9. Waivers.

                           (a) No delay on the part of Administrative Agent or
the Banks in exercising any of their rights (including those hereunder) and no
partial or single exercise thereof and no action or non-action by Administrative
Agent or the Banks, with or without notice to Guarantor or anyone else, shall
constitute a waiver of any rights or shall affect or impair this Guaranty.

                           (b) GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS GUARANTY AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
GUARANTOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. GUARANTOR
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN
ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WILL CONTINUE TO RELY
ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. GUARANTOR FURTHER WARRANTS AND
REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

                  10. Interpretation. The section headings in this Guaranty are
for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or
construction of any provision hereof.

                  11. Notices. All notices or other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered as
properly given (a) if delivered in person, (b) if sent by overnight delivery
service by the addressee, except that communication or notice so transmitted by
telecopy or other direct written electronic means shall be deemed to have been
validly and effectively given on the day (if a Bank Day and, if not, on the next
following Banking Day) on which it is transmitted if transmitted before 4:00
p.m., recipient's time, and if transmitted after that time, on the next
following Banking Day; provided, however, that if any notice is tendered to an
addressee and the delivery thereof is refused by such addressee, such notice
shall be effective upon such tender. Any party shall have the right to change
its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental
United States by giving of 30 days' notice to the other parties in the manner
set forth hereinabove.

                  12. Amendments. This Guaranty may be amended only with the

obligations, suit or taking other action by the Banks against, and giving any
notice of default or other notice to, or making any demand on, any party liable
thereon (including Guarantor).

                           (b) This Guaranty is a primary obligation of
Guarantor and is an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty
of payment of the Obligations and not of collectibility, and is in no way
conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt to enforce in whole or in part
Borrower's or any other Portfolio Entity's liabilities and obligations to the
Banks. If Borrower shall fail to pay any of the Obligations to the Banks as and
when they are due, Guarantor shall forthwith pay such Obligations immediately
(in the case of payment obligations, in immediately available funds). Each
failure by Borrower to pay any Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause
of action herewith, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of
action arises.

                           (c) The Banks may, at any time and from time to time
(whether or not after revocation or termination of this Guaranty) without the
consent of or notice to Guarantor, except such notice as may be required by the
Credit Documents or applicable law which cannot be waived, without incurring
responsibility to Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of
Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in
part, (i) change the manner, place and terms of payment or change or extend the
time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Obligation, or any obligations and
liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof or in any manner modify, amend or supplement the
terms of the Credit Documents, any documents, instruments or agreements executed
in connection therewith, in each case with the consent of Borrower or such


                                       2
<PAGE>   306
other relevant Portfolio Entity, if required by the Credit Documents, and the
guaranty herein made shall apply to the Obligations changed, extended, renewed,
modified, amended, supplemented or altered in any manner; (ii) exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity
or others (including Guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (iii)
add or release any other guarantor from its obligations without affecting or
impairing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder; (iv) settle or compromise any
Obligations and/or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may
subordinate the payment or performance of all or any part thereof to the payment
or performance of any obligations and liabilities which may be due to the Banks
or others; (v) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise
deal with in any manner or in any order any property by whomsoever pledged or
mortgaged to secure or howsoever securing the Obligations or any liabilities or
obligations (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof and/or any offset thereagainst; (vi) apply any sums
by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligations and liabilities of
Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity to the Banks under the Credit Documents
in the manner provided therein regardless of what obligations and liabilities
remain unpaid; (vii) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or
default under, the Credit Documents or otherwise amend, modify or supplement
(with the consent of Borrower or such other relevant Portfolio Entity, if
required by the Credit Documents) the Credit Documents or any of such other
instruments or agreements; and/or (viii) act or fail to act in any manner
referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive Guarantor of its right to
subrogation against Borrower to recover full indemnity for any payments or
performances made pursuant to this Guaranty or of its right of contribution
against any other party.

                           (d) No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
of the obligations or liabilities hereby guaranteed shall affect, impair or be a
defense to this Guaranty, which is a primary obligation of Guarantor.

                           (e) This is a continuing Guaranty and all obligations
to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively
presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. In the event that,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(a) hereof, this Guaranty shall be
deemed revocable in accordance with applicable law, then any such revocation
shall become effective only upon receipt by Administrative Agent of written
notice of revocation signed by Guarantor. No revocation or termination hereof
shall affect in any manner rights arising under this Guaranty with respect to
Obligations arising prior to receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice
of such revocation or termination.

                           (f) (i) Except as otherwise required by law, each
payment required to be made by Guarantor to the Banks hereunder shall be made
without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If such deduction
or withholding is so required, Guarantor shall, upon notice thereof from
Administrative Agent, (A) pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to
the appropriate authorities before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues
thereon, (B) on or before the 60th day after payment of such amount, forward to
the Banks an official receipt evidencing such payment (or a certified copy
thereof), and (C) in the case of any such deduction or withholding, forthwith
pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks such additional amount
as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Banks
is free and clear of such Taxes, including any Taxes on such additional amount,
is


                                       3
<PAGE>   307
equal to the amount that the Banks would have received had there been no such
deduction or withholding.

                               (ii) As used herein, the term "Tax" means any
present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any
nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by
any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this
Guaranty other than (A) any income, franchise or similar tax imposed upon the
gross or net income of Administrative Agent or any Bank by the United States,
New York State, any jurisdiction where Administrative Agent or any Bank is
organized and/or the jurisdiction in which is located any office from or at
which Administrative Agent or any Bank is making or maintaining any Loans or
receiving any payments under any of the Credit Documents and (B) any stamp,
registration, documentation or similar tax.

                  2. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor makes the
representations and warranties set forth below to Administrative Agent and the
Banks as of the date hereof:

                           (a) Guarantor is duly formed, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power and
authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations
hereunder.

                           (b) Guarantor has taken all necessary corporate

                           (c) All governmental authorizations and actions
necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by Guarantor of this

performed and remain valid and in full force and effect.

                           (d) This Guaranty has been duly executed and
delivered by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this
Guaranty, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally.

                           (e) The execution, delivery and performance of this

certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree applicable to or binding on Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates or properties; (ii) do not and will not contravene, or result in any
breach of or constitute any default under, any agreement or instrument to which

or affected; and (iii) do not and will not require the consent of any Person
under any existing law or agreement which has not already been obtained.

                           (f) There is no pending or, to the best of
Guarantor's knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting Guarantor
before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which might reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the financial condition, results of
operations, business or prospects of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to
perform its obligations under this Guaranty.


                                       4
<PAGE>   308
                           (g) All quarterly and annual financial statements
heretofore delivered by Guarantor to Administrative Agent are true, correct and
complete, do not fail to disclose any material liabilities, whether direct or
contingent, fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of the date
delivered and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied.

                           (h) Guarantor possesses all franchises, certificates,
licenses, permits and other governmental authorizations and approvals necessary
for it to own its properties, conduct its businesses and perform its obligations
under this Guaranty.

                           (i) Guarantor is not an investment company or a
company controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, and is not subject to, or is exempt from,
regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and the Federal
Power Act.

                           (j) Guarantor has established adequate means of
obtaining financial and other information pertaining to the businesses,
operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and the other
Portfolio Entities and their respective properties on a continuing basis, and
Guarantor now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses,
operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and the other
Portfolio Entities and their respective properties.

                           (k) (i) Guarantor is not, and will not as a result of
the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, be rendered insolvent, (ii)
Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe it is incurring, obligations
beyond its ability to pay or perform and (iii) Guarantor's property remaining
after the delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not constitute
unreasonably small capital.

                           (l) Guarantor is not in default under any material
agreement relating to the incurrence of debt to which it is a party.

                  3. Covenants. So long as any Obligations are outstanding,
Guarantor agrees that:

                           (a) It will maintain in full force and effect all
consents of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained
by it with respect to this Guaranty and will obtain any that may become
necessary in the future;

                           (b) It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this
Guaranty;

                           (c) Promptly, and in any event within 30 Banking Days
after the General Counsel of Guarantor obtains knowledge thereof, Guarantor will
give to Administrative Agent notice of the occurrence of any event or of any
litigation or governmental proceeding pending (i) against Guarantor or any of
its Affiliates which could affect the business, operations,


                                       5
<PAGE>   309
property, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor so as to
materially and adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform its
obligations hereunder or (ii) with respect to this Guaranty, which event or
pending proceeding is likely to materially and adversely affect the business,
operations, property, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor
and its Affiliates taken as a whole;

                           (d) It will deliver such other documents and other
information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent; and

                           (e) It will comply in all material respects with its
certificate of incorporation.

                  4. Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights
and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not
to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the Banks to proceed
against Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any
security held by Administrative Agent or the Banks at any time or to pursue any
other remedy in Administrative Agent's or the Banks' power before proceeding
against Guarantor, (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity,
lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination or
disability of Borrower or any other Person or the failure of Administrative
Agent or the Banks to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in
administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Borrower or any other
Person, (c) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind except as
provided herein, including without limitation notice of the existence, creation
or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any
action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Banks,
any endorser or creditor of Borrower or Guarantor or on the part of any other
Person under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or
evidence of indebtedness held by Administrative Agent or the Banks as collateral
or in connection with any Obligations, (d) any defense based upon an election of
remedies by Administrative Agent or the Banks, including without limitation an
election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which
destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor, the right of
Guarantor to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, or both, (e) any
defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be owed by any Person
to Guarantor for any reason whatsoever, (f) any defense based on any act,
failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of Borrower or any
other Portfolio Entity of the failure by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity
to do any act or thing or to observe or perform any covenant, condition or
agreement to be observed or performed by it under the Credit Documents, (g) any
defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation
of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more
burdensome than that of the principal provided, that, upon payment in full of
the Obligations, this Guaranty shall no longer be of any force or effect, (h)
any defense, setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or
asserted by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity against Administrative Agent,
the Banks or any other Person under the Credit Documents, (i) any duty on the
part of Administrative Agent or the Banks to disclose to Guarantor any facts
Administrative Agent or the Banks may now or hereafter know about Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or the
Banks have reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk
beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or have reason to believe that
such facts are unknown to Guarantor,


                                       6
<PAGE>   310
or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since
Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping
informed of the financial condition of Borrower and the other Portfolio Entities
and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any obligations
and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact that Guarantor may at any time
in the future dispose of all or part of its direct or indirect interest in
Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, (k) any defense based on any change in
the time, manner or place of any payment under, or in any other term of, the
Credit Documents or any other amendment, renewal, extension, acceleration,
compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms of the Credit
Documents, (l) any defense arising because of Administrative Agent's or the
Banks' election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code,
of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and (m)
any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under
Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

                  5. Subordination. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Guaranty, all existing and future indebtedness of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to Guarantor (except to the extent such indebtedness consists
of approved operating expenses or other O&M Costs with respect to materials or
services provided consistent with an applicable Annual Operating Budget) and the
right of Guarantor to withdraw any capital invested by Guarantor in Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity, is hereby subordinated to all obligations and
liabilities hereby guaranteed. Without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, such subordinated indebtedness shall not be paid or
withdrawn in whole or in part, nor shall Guarantor accept any payment of or on
account of any such indebtedness or as a withdrawal of capital while the Credit
Agreement is in effect except from distributions permitted under Waterfall Level
8 and 10 of Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement or as permitted under Section
3.10(b) of the Credit Agreement. Any payment by Borrower in violation of this
Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for Administrative Agent and
the Banks, and Guarantor shall cause the same to be paid to Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Banks immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent on
account of Borrower's obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed. Guarantor
shall not assign all or any portion of such indebtedness while the Credit
Agreement remains in effect except upon prior written notice to Administrative
Agent by which the assignee of any such indebtedness agrees that the assignment
is made subject to the terms of this Guaranty, and that any attempted assignment
of such indebtedness in violation of the provisions hereof shall be void.

                  6. Subrogation. So long as the Credit Agreement remains in
effect, (a) Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation and waives all
rights to enforce any remedy which the Banks now have or may hereafter have
against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, and waives the benefit of, and
all rights to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by
Administrative Agent or the Banks from Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity
and (b) Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have
or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity that arises
hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder including, without
limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right
or remedy of the Banks against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, or any
security which the Banks now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such
claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under
common law or otherwise.


                                       7
<PAGE>   311
                  7. Bankruptcy.

                           (a) So long as the Credit Agreement remains in
effect, Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Borrower or any other Portfolio
Entity. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered,
limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or arrangement
of Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, or by any defense which Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity may have by reason of any order, decree or decision
of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

                           (b) So long as the Credit Agreement remains in
effect, to the extent of any Obligations, Guarantor shall file, in any
bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or
permitted by law, all claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower or any
other Portfolio Entity relating to any indebtedness of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to Guarantor, and hereby assigns to Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Banks all rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not
file any such claim, Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is
hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Administrative
Agent's discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of
claim to be filed in the name of Administrative Agent's nominee. The foregoing
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have the sole right to accept or
reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to take any other action
which a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in
administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person authorized to pay such a
claim shall pay the same to Administrative Agent to the extent of any
Obligations which then remain unpaid, and, to the full extent necessary for that
purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Administrative Agent all of Guarantor's
rights to all such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise
be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not
be satisfied except to the extent that Administrative Agent receives cash by
reason of any such payment or distribution. If Administrative Agent receives
anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for
amounts due under this Guaranty.

                  8. Successions or Assignments.

                           (a) This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the
successors or assigns of the Banks who shall have, to the extent of their
interest, the rights of the Banks hereunder; provided, however, that the rights
of the Banks hereunder, if any be retained by them, shall have priority over and
be senior to the rights of its successors or assigns unless Administrative Agent
shall otherwise elect.

                           (b) This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its
successors and assigns. Guarantor is not entitled to assign its obligations
hereunder to any other person without the written consent of Administrative
Agent, and any purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be
void.


                                       8
<PAGE>   312
                  9. Waivers.

                           (a) No delay on the part of Administrative Agent or
the Banks in exercising any of their rights (including those hereunder) and no
partial or single exercise thereof and no action or non-action by Administrative
Agent or the Banks, with or without notice to Guarantor or anyone else, shall
constitute a waiver of any rights or shall affect or impair this Guaranty.

                           (b) GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS GUARANTY AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
GUARANTOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. GUARANTOR
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN
ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WILL CONTINUE TO RELY
ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. GUARANTOR FURTHER WARRANTS AND
REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

                  10. Interpretation. The section headings in this Guaranty are
for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or
construction of any provision hereof.

                  11. Notices. All notices or other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered as
properly given (a) if delivered in person, (b) if sent by overnight delivery
service by the addressee, except that communication or notice so transmitted by
telecopy or other direct written electronic means shall be deemed to have been
validly and effectively given on the day (if a Bank Day and, if not, on the next
following Banking Day) on which it is transmitted if transmitted before 4:00
p.m., recipient's time, and if transmitted after that time, on the next
following Banking Day; provided, however, that if any notice is tendered to an
addressee and the delivery thereof is refused by such addressee, such notice
shall be effective upon such tender. Any party shall have the right to change
its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental
United States by giving of 30 days' notice to the other parties in the manner
set forth hereinabove.

                  12. Amendments. This Guaranty may be amended only with the
written consent of the parties hereto.

                  13. Jurisdiction; Governing Law.

or summons in connection with any such


                                       9

action or proceeding may be served by mailing a copy thereof by certified or
registered mail, or any substantially similar form of mail, addressed to

accordance with the law of the State of New York without reference to principles
of conflicts of laws (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law).

Administrative Agent or the Banks, as the case may be, upon demand, all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses all other costs and expenses incurred by
Administrative Agent or the Banks in enforcing this Guaranty.

indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations owing under the Credit
Agreement, this Guaranty shall terminate in its entirety. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time any payment to or on behalf of Borrower or to
Administrative Agent by Borrower or any other Person in respect of the
Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) or by Guarantor
hereunder is rescinded or must

<PAGE>   314
otherwise be returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or any other Portfolio
Entity or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

                  18. Counterparts. The Guaranty may be executed in one or more
duplicate counterparts, and when executed and delivered by all of the parties
listed below shall constitute a single binding agreement.

                  19. No Benefit to Borrower. This Guaranty is for the benefit
of only Administrative Agent and is not for the benefit of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity. Notwithstanding that, pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
Guarantor may treat any amounts actually paid hereunder as a loan to Borrower,
the Guaranty shall not be deemed to be a contract to make a loan, or extend
other debt financing or financial accommodation, for the benefit of Borrower, in
each case within the meaning of Section 365(e) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                  D. [THE OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR HEREUNDER ARE BEING INCURRED
CONCURRENTLY WITH [THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT][THE
INITIAL FUNDING OF LOANS TO BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECT].

                  E. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the respective meanings given them in Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement and the
Rules of Interpretations contained in said Exhibit A shall apply hereto.

                                    AGREEMENT

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth
above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged and as an inducement to Administrative Agent and
the Banks to enter into the Credit Agreement with Borrower
<PAGE>   317
and the other Credit Documents with the Portfolio Entities, Guarantor hereby
consents and agrees as follows:

                  1. Guaranty.

                           (a) The undersigned Guarantor, as primary obligor and
not merely as surety, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Banks
the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise of all of the Obligations of the Portfolio Entities under the Credit
Documents, including without limitation the Obligations of Borrower under the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, in each case together with the
payment of all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or the Banks in
enforcing any of such obligations and liabilities or the terms hereof,
including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel,
but expressly excluding any Obligations (including expenses of enforcement and
the fees and expenses of legal counsel related thereto) arising out of or
attributable to Projects which have achieved Operation prior to the effective
date of this Guaranty (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"), and agrees
that if for any reason Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity shall fail to pay
when due any of such Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor will pay the same
forthwith. Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any
obligation to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof, and waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment or performance, notice of dishonor or
non-payment or non-performance, protest, notice of protest, of any such
obligations, suit or taking other action by the Banks against, and giving any
notice of default or other notice to, or making any demand on, any party liable
thereon (including Guarantor).

                           (b) This Guaranty is a primary obligation of
Guarantor and is an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty
of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of collectibility, and is in no
way conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt to enforce in whole or in part
Borrower's or any other Portfolio Entity's liabilities and obligations to the
Banks. If Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity shall fail to pay any of the
Guaranteed Obligations to the Banks as and when they are due, Guarantor shall
forthwith pay such Guaranteed Obligations immediately (in immediately available
funds). Each failure by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity to pay any
Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action herewith,
and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

                           (c) The Banks may, at any time and from time to time
(whether or not after revocation or termination of this Guaranty) without the
consent of or notice to Guarantor, except such notice as may be required by the
Credit Documents or applicable law which cannot be waived, without incurring
responsibility to Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of
Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in
part, (i) change the manner, place and terms of payment or performance or change
or extend the time of payment or performance of, or renew or alter, any
Obligation, or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof or in
any manner modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Credit Documents, any
documents, instruments or agreements executed in connection therewith, in each
case with the consent of Borrower or such other relevant Portfolio Entity, if
required by the Credit Documents, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to
the Guaranteed Obligations changed, extended, renewed, modified, amended,
supplemented or altered in any manner; (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights against Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity or others (including
Guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (iii) add or release any
other guarantor from its obligations without affecting or impairing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder; (iv) settle or compromise any Guaranteed
Obligations and/or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may
subordinate the payment or performance of all or any part thereof to the payment
or performance of any obligations and liabilities


                                       2
<PAGE>   318
which may be due to the Banks or others; (v) sell, exchange, release, surrender,
realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner or in any order any property
by whomsoever pledged or mortgaged to secure or howsoever securing the
Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities or obligations (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof and/or
any offset thereagainst; (vi) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever
realized to any obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other Portfolio
Entity to the Banks under the Credit Documents in the manner provided therein
regardless of what obligations and liabilities remain unpaid; (vii) consent to
or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, the Credit
Documents or otherwise amend, modify or supplement (with the consent of Borrower
or such other relevant Portfolio Entity, if required by the Credit Documents)
the Credit Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or
(viii) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may
deprive Guarantor of its right to subrogation against Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to recover full indemnity for any payments or performances made
pursuant to this Guaranty or of its right of contribution against any other
party.

                           (d) No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
of the obligations or liabilities hereby guaranteed shall affect, impair or be a
defense to this Guaranty, which is a primary obligation of Guarantor.

                           (e) This is a continuing Guaranty and all obligations
to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively
presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. In the event that,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(a) hereof, this Guaranty shall be
deemed revocable in accordance with applicable law, then any such revocation
shall become effective only upon receipt by Administrative Agent of written
notice of revocation signed by Guarantor. No revocation or termination hereof
shall affect in any manner rights arising under this Guaranty with respect to
Guaranteed Obligations arising prior to receipt by Administrative Agent of
written notice of such revocation or termination.

                           (f) (i) Except as otherwise required by law, each
payment required to be made by Guarantor to the Banks hereunder shall be made
without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If such deduction
or withholding is so required, Guarantor shall, upon notice thereof from
Administrative Agent, (A) pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to
the appropriate authorities before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues
thereon, (B) on or before the 60th day after payment of such amount, forward to
the Banks an official receipt evidencing such payment (or a certified copy
thereof), and (C) in the case of any such deduction or withholding, forthwith
pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks such additional amount
as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Banks
is free and clear of such Taxes, including any Taxes on such additional amount,
is equal to the amount that the Banks would have received had there been no such
deduction or withholding.

                                    (ii) As used herein, the term "Tax" means
any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any
nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by
any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this
Guaranty other than (A) any income, franchise or similar tax imposed upon the
gross or net income of Administrative Agent or any Bank by the United States,
New York State, any jurisdiction where Administrative Agent or any Bank is
organized and/or the jurisdiction in which is located any office from or at
which Administrative Agent or any Bank is making or maintaining any Loans or
receiving any payments under any of the Credit Documents and (B) any stamp,
registration, documentation or similar tax.

                  2. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor makes the
representations and warranties set forth below to Administrative Agent and the
Banks as of the date hereof:


                                       3
<PAGE>   319
                           (a) Guarantor is duly formed, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power and
authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations
hereunder.

                           (b) Guarantor has taken all necessary action to
authorize the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the performance of its
obligations hereunder.

                           (c) All governmental authorizations and actions
necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by Guarantor of this
Guaranty and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been obtained or
performed and remain valid and in full force and effect.

                           (d) This Guaranty has been duly executed and
delivered by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this
Guaranty, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally.

                           (e) The execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty (i) do not and will not contravene any provisions of Guarantor's
constituent documents, or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
applicable to or binding on Guarantor or any of its Affiliates or properties;
(ii) do not and will not contravene, or result in any breach of or constitute
any default under, any agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or
by which Guarantor or any of its properties may be bound or affected; and (iii)
do not and will not require the consent of any Person under any existing law or
agreement which has not already been obtained.

                           (f) There is no pending or, to the best of
Guarantor's knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting Guarantor
before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which might reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the financial condition, results of
operations, business or prospects of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to
perform its obligations under this Guaranty.

                           (g) All of Guarantor's quarterly and annual financial
statements heretofore delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent are true,
correct and complete, do not fail to disclose any material liabilities, whether
direct or contingent, fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of
the date delivered and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

                           (h) Guarantor possesses all franchises, certificates,
licenses, permits and other governmental authorizations and approvals necessary
for it to own its properties, conduct its businesses and perform its obligations
under this Guaranty.

                           (i) Guarantor is not an investment company or a
company controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, and is not subject to, or is exempt from,
regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and the Federal
Power Act.

                           (j) Guarantor has established adequate means of
obtaining financial and other information pertaining to the businesses,
operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and the other
Portfolio Entities and their respective properties on a continuing basis, and
Guarantor now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses,
operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and the other
Portfolio Entities and their respective properties.


                                       4
<PAGE>   320
                           (k) (i) Guarantor is not, and will not as a result of
the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, be rendered insolvent, (ii)
Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe it is incurring, obligations
beyond its ability to pay or perform and (iii) Guarantor's property remaining
after the delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not constitute
unreasonably small capital. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, enforcement of
the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty for the full amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations would be an unlawful or voidable transfer under any
applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or any comparable
law, then the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be reduced to the highest
amount for which such liability may then be enforced without giving rise to an
unlawful or voidable transfer under any such law.

                           (l) Guarantor is not in default under any material
agreement relating to the incurrence of debt to which it is a party.

                  3. Covenants. So long as any Guaranteed Obligations are
outstanding, Guarantor agrees that:

                           (a) It will maintain in full force and effect all
consents of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained
by it with respect to this Guaranty and will obtain any that may become
necessary in the future;

                           (b) It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this
Guaranty;

                           (c) Promptly, and in any event within 30 Banking Days
after the General Counsel of Guarantor obtains knowledge thereof, Guarantor will
give to Administrative Agent notice of the occurrence of any event or of any
litigation or governmental proceeding pending (i) against Guarantor or any of
its Affiliates which could affect the business, operations, property, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor so as to materially and
adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder
or (ii) with respect to this Guaranty, which event or pending proceeding is
likely to materially and adversely affect the business, operations, property,
assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor;

                           (d) It will deliver such other documents and other
information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent;

                           (e) It will comply in all material respects with its
constituent documents;

                           (f) It will perform, or cause Borrower to perform,
each of the covenants and other agreements contained in Articles 5 and 6 of the
Credit Agreement as if such covenants and other agreements were fully set forth
in this Guaranty, such agreements and other covenants being incorporated into
this Guaranty by reference; provided, however, that performance of such
covenants by Borrower or another Portfolio Entity will satisfy Guarantor's
obligations hereunder with respect to such convenants.

                  4. Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights
and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not
to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the Banks to proceed
against Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity or any other Person or to proceed
against or exhaust any security held by Administrative Agent or the Banks at any
time or to pursue any other


                                       5
<PAGE>   321
remedy in Administrative Agent's or the Banks' power before proceeding against
Guarantor, (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of
power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination or disability of
Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity or any other Person or the failure of
Administrative Agent or the Banks to file or enforce a claim against the estate
(in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Borrower, any other
Portfolio Entity or any other Person, (c) demand, presentment, protest and
notice of any kind except as provided herein, including without limitation
notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional
indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of
Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity, Administrative Agent, the Banks, any
endorser or creditor of Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity or Guarantor or on
the part of any other Person under this or any other instrument in connection
with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Administrative Agent or
the Banks as collateral or in connection with any Guaranteed Obligations, (d)
any defense based upon an election of remedies by Administrative Agent or the
Banks, including without limitation an election to proceed by non-judicial
rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the
subrogation rights of Guarantor, the right of Guarantor to proceed against
Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity for reimbursement, or both, (e) any
defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be owed by any Person
to Guarantor for any reason whatsoever, (f) any defense based on any act,
failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of Borrower or any
other Portfolio Entity of the failure by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity
to do any act or thing or to observe or perform any covenant, condition or
agreement to be observed or performed by it under the Credit Documents, (g) any
defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation
of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more
burdensome than that of the principal provided, that, upon payment or
performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Guaranty shall no longer
be of any force or effect, (h) any defense, setoff or counterclaim which may at
any time be available to or asserted by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity
against Administrative Agent, the Banks or any other Person under the Credit
Documents, (i) any duty on the part of Administrative Agent or the Banks to
disclose to Guarantor any facts Administrative Agent or the Banks may now or
hereafter know about Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, regardless of
whether Administrative Agent or the Banks have reason to believe that any such
facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to
assume, or have reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor, or
have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since
Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping
informed of the financial condition of Borrower and the other Portfolio Entities
and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance
of any obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact that
Guarantor may at any time in the future dispose of all or part of its direct or
indirect interest in Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, (k) any defense
based on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment or performance
under, or in any other term of, the Credit Documents or any other amendment,
renewal, extension, acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or
departure from the terms of the Credit Documents, (l) any defense arising
because of Administrative Agent's or the Banks' election, in any proceeding
instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and (m) any defense based upon any
borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code.

                  5. Subordination. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Guaranty, all existing and future indebtedness of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to Guarantor (except to the extent such indebtedness consists
of approved operating expenses or other O&M Costs with respect to materials or
services provided consistent with an applicable Annual Operating Budget) and the
right of Guarantor to withdraw any capital invested by Guarantor in Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity, is hereby subordinated to all obligations and
liabilities hereby guaranteed. Without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, such subordinated indebtedness shall not be paid or
withdrawn in whole or in part, nor shall Guarantor accept any payment of or on
account of any such indebtedness or as


                                       6
<PAGE>   322
a withdrawal of capital while the Credit Documents are in effect. Any payment by
Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity in violation of this Guaranty shall be
received by Guarantor in trust for Administrative Agent and the Banks, and
Guarantor shall cause the same to be paid to Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Banks immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent on account
of Borrower's and the other Portfolio Entities' obligations and liabilities
hereby guaranteed. Guarantor shall not assign all or any portion of such
indebtedness while the Credit Documents remain in effect except upon prior
written notice to Administrative Agent by which the assignee of any such
indebtedness agrees that the assignment is made subject to the terms of this
Guaranty, and that any attempted assignment of such indebtedness in violation of
the provisions hereof shall be void.

                  6. Subrogation. So long as the Credit Documents remain in
effect, (a) Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation and waives all
rights to enforce any remedy which the Banks now have or may hereafter have
against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, and waives the benefit of, and
all rights to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by
Administrative Agent or the Banks from Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity
and (b) Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have
or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity that arises
hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder including, without
limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right
or remedy of the Banks against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, or any
security which the Banks now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such
claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under
common law or otherwise.

                  7. Bankruptcy.

                           (a) So long as the Credit Documents remain in effect,
Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent,
commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Borrower or any other Portfolio
Entity. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered,
limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or arrangement
of Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity, or by any defense which Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity may have by reason of any order, decree or decision
of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

                           (b) So long as the Credit Documents remain in effect,
to the extent of any Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall file, in any
bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or
permitted by law, all claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower or any
other Portfolio Entity relating to any indebtedness of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to Guarantor, and hereby assigns to Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Banks all rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not
file any such claim, Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is
hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Administrative
Agent's discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of
claim to be filed in the name of Administrative Agent's nominee. The foregoing
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have the sole right to accept or
reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to take any other action
which a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in
administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person authorized to pay such a
claim shall pay the same to Administrative Agent to the extent of any Guaranteed
Obligations which then remain unpaid, and, to the full extent necessary for that
purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Administrative Agent all of Guarantor's
rights to all such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise
be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not
be satisfied except to the extent that Administrative Agent receives cash by
reason of any such payment or


                                       7
<PAGE>   323
distribution. If Administrative Agent receives anything hereunder other than
cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty.

                  8. Successions or Assignments.

                           (a) This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the
successors or assigns of the Banks who shall have, to the extent of their
interest, the rights of the Banks hereunder; provided, however, that the rights
of the Banks hereunder, if any be retained by them, shall have priority over and
be senior to the rights of its successors or assigns unless Administrative Agent
shall otherwise elect.

                           (b) This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its
successors and assigns. Guarantor is not entitled to assign its obligations
hereunder to any other person without the written consent of Administrative
Agent, and any purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be
void.

                  9. Waivers.

                           (a) No delay on the part of Administrative Agent or
the Banks in exercising any of their rights (including those hereunder) and no
partial or single exercise thereof and no action or non-action by Administrative
Agent or the Banks, with or without notice to Guarantor or anyone else, shall
constitute a waiver of any rights or shall affect or impair this Guaranty.

                           (b) GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS GUARANTY AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
GUARANTOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. GUARANTOR
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN
ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WILL CONTINUE TO RELY
ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. GUARANTOR FURTHER WARRANTS AND
REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

                  10. Interpretation. The section headings in this Guaranty are
for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or
construction of any provision hereof.

                  11. Notices. All notices or other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered as
properly given (a) if delivered in person, (b) if sent by overnight delivery
service by the addressee, except that communication or notice so transmitted by
telecopy or other direct written electronic means shall be deemed to have been

[LEASED] Premises.

         2.4 Insurance; Application of Insurance Proceeds; Application of

Deed of Trust, insurance policies insuring the Site and liability insurance

         2.5 Assignment of Rents. Trustor unconditionally and absolutely assigns
to Beneficiary all of Trustor's right, title and interest in and to: all leases,
subleases, occupancy agreements, licenses, rental contracts and other agreements
now or hereafter existing relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises,
together with all guarantees, modifications, extensions and renewals thereof;
and all rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds due or to become due from
tenants of the Premises (the "Leases"), including rentals and all other payments
of any kind under any leases now existing or hereafter entered into, together
with all deposits (including security deposits) of tenants thereunder. This is
an absolute assignment to Beneficiary and not an assignment as security for the
performance of the obligations under the Credit Documents, or any other
indebtedness. Subject to the provisions of herein below, Beneficiary shall have
the right, power and authority to: notify any person that the Leases have been
assigned to Beneficiary and that all rents and other obligations are to be paid
directly to Beneficiary, whether or not Beneficiary has commenced or completed

                                       6

release, extend the time of payment of, and make allowances, adjustments and
discounts of any rents or other obligations under the Leases; enforce payment of
rents and other rights under the Leases, prosecute any action or proceeding ,

possession of and operate the Premises, lease all or any part of the Premises;

copy of this Deed of Trust to each tenant under a Lease. Trustor irrevocably
directs any tenant, without any requirement for notice to or consent by Trustor,
to comply with all demands of Beneficiary under this Section 2.5 and to turn
over to Beneficiary on demand all rents which it receives. Beneficiary shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to use and apply all rents received
hereunder in such order and such manner as Beneficiary may determine in
accordance with the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding that this is an absolute
assignment of the rents and Leases and not merely the collateral assignment of,
or the grant of a lien or security interest in the rents and Leases, Beneficiary
grants to Trustor a revocable license to collect and receive the rents and to
retain, use and enjoy such rents. Such license may be revoked by Beneficiary
only upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. Trustor shall apply any rents
which it receives to the payment due under the Secured Obligations, taxes,
assessments, water charges, sewer rents and other governmental charges levied,
assessed or imposed against the Premises, insurance premiums, and other
obligations of lessor under the Leases before using such proceeds for any other
purpose. [UNLESS APPLICABLE (IN WHICH CASE DEFINED TERM "PREMISES" TO BE CHANGED

THE LIEN CREATED BY THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AND
SHALL EXTEND AUTOMATICALLY TO ALL OF TRUSTOR'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ARISING AT
ANY TIME UNDER, OR PURSUANT TO, SECTION 365(h) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, INCLUDING

or liability with respect to such obligations of Trustor, nor shall Beneficiary
or any of the Banks be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill
any obligations or duties of Trustor under such agreements, or to make any
payment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by it, or to present or file any claim or take any action to collect or
enforce the payment of any amounts which have been assigned to Beneficiary
hereunder or to which Beneficiary or the Banks may be entitled at any time or
times.

         2.8 Further Assurances. Trustor shall, from time to time, at its
expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action, that may be necessary or that Trustee or Beneficiary
may reasonably request, in order to perfect and continue the lien and security
interest granted hereby and to enable Beneficiary to obtain the full benefits of
the lien and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby. Trustor
shall keep the Trust Estate free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted
Liens. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor shall execute
and record or file this Deed of Trust and each amendment hereto, and such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be necessary, or as Beneficiary or
Trustee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the lien and
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby. Trustor hereby
authorizes Beneficiary to file one or more financing statements or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Trust
Estate necessary to preserve or protect the lien and security interest granted
hereby without the signature of Trustor where permitted by law.

         2.9 Acts of Trustor. Except as provided in or permitted by the Credit
Documents, Trustor hereby represents and warrants that it has not mortgaged,
hypothecated, assigned or pledged and hereby covenants that it will not
mortgage, hypothecate, assign or pledge, so long as this Deed of Trust shall
remain in effect, any of its right, title or interest in and to the Trust Estate
or any part thereof, to anyone other than Beneficiary.

         2.10 After-Acquired Property. Any and all of the Trust Estate which is
hereafter acquired shall immediately, without any further conveyance, assignment
or act on the part of Trustor or Beneficiary, become and be subject to the lien
and security interest of this Deed of Trust as fully and completely as though
specifically described herein, but nothing contained in this Section 2.10 shall
be deemed to modify or change the obligations of Trustor under Section 2.8
hereof. If and whenever from time to time Trustor shall hereafter acquire any
real property or interest therein which constitutes or is intended to constitute
part of the Trust Estate hereunder, Trustor shall promptly give notice thereof
to Beneficiary and Trustor shall forthwith execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Beneficiary a supplement to this Deed of Trust in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Beneficiary subjecting the property so acquired to the lien of
this Deed of Trust. At the same time, if Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall
deliver to Beneficiary an endorsement to the lender's policy of title insurance
issued to Beneficiary insuring the lien of this Deed of Trust which shall insure
to Beneficiary in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary that the lien
of this Deed of Trust as insured under such title insurance policy encumber such
later acquired property and that Trustor's title to such property meets all of

         2.13 Covenant to Pay. If an Event of Default has occurred and is

result in personal injury, then Beneficiary, among its other rights and
remedies, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay, observe or
perform the same, in whole or in part, and with such modifications as
Beneficiary reasonably shall deem advisable. To the extent provided in the
Credit Documents, all sums, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys

introductory paragraph of this Deed of Trust, and shall be repaid by Trustor as
provided in the Credit Documents.

         2.14 Security Agreement.

between Trustor and Beneficiary covering the Deed of Trust Property constituting
personal property or fixtures (hereinafter collectively called "UCC Collateral")
governed by the [RELEVANT STATE] Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") as the same may
be more specifically set forth in any financing statement delivered in
connection with this Deed of Trust, and as further security for the payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a
security interest in such portion of the Site to the full extent that the Site
may be subject to the UCC. In addition to Beneficiary's other rights hereunder,
Beneficiary shall have all rights of a secured party under the UCC. Trustor
shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary all financing statements and such
further assurances that may be reasonably required by Beneficiary to establish,
create, perfect (to the extent the same can be achieved by the filing of a
financing statement) and maintain the validity and priority of Beneficiary's
security interests, and Trustor shall bear all reasonable costs thereof,
including all UCC searches. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit
Documents, if Beneficiary should dispose of any of the Site comprising the UCC
Collateral pursuant to the UCC, ten (10) days' prior written notice by
Beneficiary to Trustor shall be deemed to be reasonable notice; provided,
however, Beneficiary may dispose of such property in accordance with the
foreclosure procedures of this Deed of Trust in lieu of proceeding under the
UCC. Beneficiary may from time to time execute and deliver at Trustor's expense,
all continuation statements, termination statements, amendments, partial
releases, or other instruments relating to all financing statements by and
between Trustor and Beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit
Documents, if an Event of Default shall occur and is continuing, (a)
Beneficiary, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, may
exercise immediately and without demand to the extent permitted by law, any and
all rights and remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC


                                       12
<PAGE>   339
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take
possession of the UCC Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other
measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of such collateral and (b) upon request or demand of Beneficiary,
Trustor shall at its expense, assemble the UCC Collateral and make it available
to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall
pay to Beneficiary on demand, any and all expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting
the interest in the UCC Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with
respect to such UCC Collateral.

                  2.14.2 Trustor and the Beneficiary agree, to the extent
permitted by law, that: (i) this Deed of Trust upon recording or registration in
the real estate records of the proper office shall constitute a financing
statement filed as a "fixture filing" within the meaning of [SECTIONS 9-313 AND
9-402 OF THE UCC]; (ii) all or a part of the Trust Estate are or are to become
fixtures; and (iii) the addresses of Trustor and Beneficiary are as set forth on
the first page of this Deed of Trust.

                              ARTICLE 3 - REMEDIES

         3.1 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, Beneficiary may (except that such acceleration shall be automatic if
the Event of Default is caused by a Bankruptcy Event of Trustor), declare the
Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration
such principal and interest and other sums shall immediately become due and
payable without demand, presentment, notice or other requirements of any kind
(all of which Trustor waives).

         3.2 Protective Advances If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
is continuing, then without thereby limiting Beneficiary's other rights or
remedies, waiving or releasing any of Trustor's obligations, or imposing any
obligation on Beneficiary, Beneficiary may either advance any amount owing or
perform any or all actions that Beneficiary considers necessary or appropriate
to cure such default. All such advances shall constitute "Protective Advances."
No sums advanced or performance rendered by Beneficiary shall cure, or be deemed
a waiver of any Event of Default.

         3.3 Institution of Equity Proceedings. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, Beneficiary may institute an action, suit or proceeding in
equity for specific performance of this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or any other
Credit Document, all of which shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or
other equitable remedy.

         3.4 Beneficiary's Power of Enforcement.

                  (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option and in its sole and absolute
discretion, to prepare and record on its own behalf, or to deliver to Trustee
for recording, if appropriate, written declaration of default and demand for
sale and written Notice of Breach and Election to Sell (or other statutory
notice) to cause the Trust Estate to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof,
and in the case of delivery to Trustee, Trustee shall cause said notice to be
filed for record.


                                       13
<PAGE>   340
                  (b) After the lapse of such time as may then be required by
law following the recordation of said Notice of Breach and Election to Sell, and
notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee without demand
on Trustor, shall sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof at the time and
place fixed by it in said notice, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and
in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder, of
cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee
may, for any cause it deems expedient, postpone the sale of all or any portion
of said property until it shall be completed and, in every case, notice of
postponement shall be given by public announcement thereof at the time and place
last appointed for the sale and from time to time thereafter Trustee may
postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding
postponement; provided that Trustee shall give Trustor notice of such
postponement to the extent required by law. Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the purchaser its Deed, Bill of Sale, or other instrument conveying said
property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The
recitals in such instrument of conveyance of any matters or facts shall be
conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Beneficiary,
may bid at the sale.

                  (c) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee
and of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of
title and reasonable attorneys' fees of Trustee or Beneficiary in connection
with a sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of such sale to payment of all
sums expended under the terms hereof not then repaid, with accrued interest at
the interest rate on the Notes then to the payment of all other sums then
secured hereby and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally
entitled thereto.

                  (d) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
Beneficiary may, either with or without entry or taking possession of the Trust
Estate, and without regard to whether or not the indebtedness and other sums
secured hereby shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary
thereafter to bring an action or proceeding to foreclose or any other action for
any default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced, proceed by
any appropriate action or proceeding: (1) to enforce payment of the Secured
Obligations, to the extent permitted by law, or the performance of any term
hereof or any other right; (2) to foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner
provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages or deeds of trust on real
property and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Trust
Estate or any portion thereof pursuant to the laws of the [RELEVANT STATE] or
under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, and
Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in any such proceeding all costs and
expenses incident thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees in such amount
as shall be awarded by the court; (3) to exercise any or all of the rights and
remedies available to it under the Credit Documents; and (4) to pursue any other
remedy available to it. Beneficiary shall take action either by such proceedings
or by the exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, or
both, as Beneficiary may determine.

                  (e) The remedies described in this Section 3.4 may be
exercised with respect to all or any portion of the Tangible Collateral, either
simultaneously with the sale of any real property encumbered hereby or
independent thereof. Beneficiary shall at any time be


                                       14
<PAGE>   341
permitted to proceed with respect to all or any portion of the Tangible
Collateral in any manner permitted by the UCC. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary's
inclusion of all or any portion of the Tangible Collateral in a sale or other
remedy exercised with respect to the real property encumbered hereby, as
permitted by the UCC, is a commercially reasonable disposition of such property.

         3.5 Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply
Income.

                  (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Trustor,
upon demand of Beneficiary, shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary the actual
possession and, if and to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary itself, or by
such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all
the Trust Estate including the Tangible Collateral, without liability for
trespass, damages or otherwise, and may exclude Trustor and its agents and
employees wholly therefrom and may have joint access with Trustor to the books,
papers and accounts of Trustor.

                  (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
Trustor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Trust Estate, the
Tangible Collateral or any part thereof after Beneficiary's demand, Beneficiary
may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Beneficiary or Trustee the right
to immediate possession or requiring Trustor to deliver immediate possession of
all or part of such property to Beneficiary or Trustee and Trustor hereby
specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree. Trustor shall pay
to Beneficiary or Trustee, upon demand, all costs and expenses of obtaining such
judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Beneficiary or Trustee, their
attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until
paid, be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.

                  (c) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession,
Beneficiary or Trustee may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the
Trust Estate and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time in its
sole and absolute discretion and without being under any duty to so act:

                           (1) make all necessary and proper maintenance,
repairs, renewals and replacements thereto and thereon, and all necessary
additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or
otherwise acquire fixtures, personalty and other property in connection
therewith;

                           (2) insure or keep the Trust Estate insured;

                           (3) manage and operate the Trust Estate and exercise
all the rights and powers of Trustor in their name or otherwise with respect to
the same;

                           (4) enter into agreements with others to exercise the
powers herein granted Beneficiary or Trustee, all as Beneficiary or Trustee from
time to time may determine; and shall apply the monies so received by
Beneficiary or Trustee in such priority as provided by the Credit Documents to
(1) the payment of interest and principal due and payable to the Beneficiary,
(2) the deposits for taxes and assessments and insurance premiums due, (3) the
cost of insurance, taxes,


                                       15
<PAGE>   342
assessments and other proper charges upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof;
(4) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and
other representatives of Beneficiary or Trustee as allowed under this Deed of
Trust; and (5) any other charges or costs required to be paid by Trustor under
the terms of the Credit Documents.

                           (5) rent or sublet the Trust Estate or any portion
thereof for any purpose permitted by this Deed of Trust.

                  Beneficiary or Trustee shall surrender possession of the Trust
Estate and the Tangible Collateral to Trustor (i) as may be required by law or
court order, or (ii) when all amounts under any of the terms of the Credit
Documents, including this Deed of Trust, shall have been paid current and all
Events of Default have been cured or waived. The same right of taking
possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing.

         3.6 Separate Sales. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental
Rule, the Trust Estate may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and
order as Trustee, in his sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly
understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

         3.7 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption
Laws. Trustor agrees to the full extent permitted by law that if an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, neither Trustor nor anyone claiming through or
under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in
force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed
of Trust or the absolute sale of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or the
final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale,
of the purchasers thereof, and Trustor for itself and all who may at any time
claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may
lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the
assets comprising the Trust Estate marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien
hereof and agrees that Trustee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose
such lien may sell the Trust Estate in part or as an entirety.

         3.8 Receiver. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, and without regard to the value,
adequacy or occupancy of the security for the indebtedness and other sums
secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the
appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Trust Estate
and to collect all earnings, revenues and receipts and apply the same as the
court may direct, and such receiver may be appointed by any court of competent
jurisdiction upon application by Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by law or
Governmental Rule, Beneficiary may have a receiver appointed without notice to
Trustor or any third party, and Beneficiary may waive any requirement that the
receiver post a bond. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule,
Beneficiary shall have the power to designate and select the Person who shall
serve as the receiver and to negotiate all terms and conditions under which such
receiver shall serve. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule, any
receiver appointed on Beneficiary's behalf may be an Affiliate of Beneficiary.
The reasonable expenses, including receiver's fees, reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and agent's compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained
shall be secured by this Deed of


                                       16
<PAGE>   343
Trust. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the
Trust Estate and to collect all earnings, revenues and receipts, whether by a
receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy
available to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the other Credit Documents or
otherwise available to Beneficiary and may be exercised concurrently therewith
or independently thereof, but such rights shall be exercised in a manner which
is otherwise in accordance with and consistent with the Credit Documents.
Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for such earnings, revenues and
receipts (including, without limitation, security deposits) actually received by
Beneficiary, whether received pursuant to this section or any other provision
hereof. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian,
Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any
cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable
under the terms of this Deed of Trust to, Beneficiary.

         3.9 Suits to Protect the Trust Estate. Beneficiary shall have the power
and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as
Beneficiary, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable (a) to
prevent any impairment of the Trust Estate by any acts which may be unlawful or
in violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in
the Trust Estate, or (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any
legislation or other Legal Requirement that may be unconstitutional or otherwise
invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order
might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Beneficiary's interest

         3.10 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency,
Bankruptcy Event, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceedings affecting Trustor, any Affiliate or any guarantor, co-maker
or endorser of any of Trustor's obligations, its creditors or its property,
Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such
proofs of claim or other documents as it may deem be necessary or advisable in
order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due
and payable by Trustor under the Credit Documents, at the date of the
institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become
due and payable by Trustor after such date.

         3.11 Trustor to Pay Amounts Secured Hereby on Any Default in Payment;
Application of Monies by Beneficiary.

                  (a) In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the
Trust Estate and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of
the sums secured hereby, to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary shall be
entitled to enforce payment from Trustor of any additional amounts then
remaining due and unpaid and to recover judgment against Trustor for any portion
thereof remaining unpaid, with interest at the interest rate on the Notes.

                  (b) Trustor hereby agrees to the extent permitted by law, that
no recovery of any such judgment by Beneficiary or other action by Beneficiary
and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any of the Trust Estate or any
other property shall in any way affect the Lien and security interest of this
Deed of Trust upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any Lien, rights,
powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such Lien, rights, powers and
remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.


                                       17
<PAGE>   344
                  (c) Any monies collected or received by Beneficiary under this
Section 3.11 shall be first applied to the payment of compensation, expenses and
disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary,
and the balance remaining shall be applied to the payment of amounts due and
unpaid under the Credit Documents.

         3.12 Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No delay or omission of Beneficiary
or the Banks to exercise any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default
shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to
waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every
right, power and remedy given to Beneficiary whether contained herein or in the
other Credit Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary may be exercised
from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary.

         3.13 No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Event
of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event
of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent
thereon. If Beneficiary (a) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the
payment of any sums secured hereby; (b) takes other or additional security for
the payment thereof; (c) waives or does not exercise any right granted in this
Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document; (d) releases any part of the Trust
Estate from the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust or any other
instrument securing the Secured Obligations; (e) consents to the filing of any
map, plat or replat of the [LEASED] Premises; (f) consents to the granting of
any easement on the [LEASED] Premises; or (g) makes or consents to any agreement
changing the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document
subordinating the lien or any charge hereof, no such act or omission shall
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability under this Deed of
Trust or any other Credit Document or otherwise of Trustor, or any subsequent
purchaser of the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any maker, co-signer,
surety or guarantor with respect to any other matters not addressed by such act
or omission. No such act or omission shall preclude Beneficiary from exercising
any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in case
of any Event of Default then existing or of any subsequent Event of Default,
nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments
executed by Beneficiary, shall the lien or security interest of this Deed of
Trust be altered thereby, except to the extent expressly provided in such acts
or omissions. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or
otherwise of all or any part of the Trust Estate, Beneficiary, without notice to
any person, firm or corporation, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with
any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Trust Estate or the
indebtedness secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms or conditions
hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original
parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any of the
liabilities or undertakings hereunder, or waiving its right to declare such sale
or transfer an Event of Default as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document, (i)
in the case of any non-monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may continue to
accept payments due hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such or
any other Event of Default and (ii) in the case of any monetary Event of
Default, Beneficiary may accept partial payments of any sums due hereunder
without thereby waiving the existence of such Event of Default if the partial
payment is not sufficient to completely cure such Event of Default.


                                       18
<PAGE>   345
         3.14 Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If
Beneficiary shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Deed
of Trust by foreclosure, entry of judgement or otherwise and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings
shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Beneficiary, then and in
every such case Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of
Beneficiary shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been
taken.

         3.15 Remedies Cumulative. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.15
hereof, no right, power or remedy, including without limitation remedies with
respect to any security for the Secured Obligations, conferred upon or reserved
to Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document is exclusive
of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and
remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other
right, power and remedy given hereunder or under any other Credit Document, now
or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and Beneficiary shall be
entitled to resort to such rights, powers, remedies or security as Beneficiary
shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable.

         3.16 Interest After Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, all sums outstanding and unpaid under the Credit
Documents, including this Deed of Trust, shall, at Beneficiary's option, bear
interest at the interest rate on the [NOTES] until such Event of Default has
been cured. Trustor's obligation to pay such interest shall be secured by this
Deed of Trust.

         3.17 Foreclosure; Expenses of Litigation. If Trustee forecloses,
reasonable attorneys' fees for services in the supervision of said foreclosure
proceeding shall be allowed to the Trustee and Beneficiary as part of the
foreclosure costs. In the event of foreclosure of the lien hereof, there shall
be allowed and included as additional indebtedness all reasonable expenditures
and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary for
attorneys' fees, appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence,
stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as
to items to be expended after foreclosure sale or entry of the decree) of
procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title
insurance policies and guarantees, and similar data and assurances with respect
to title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such
suit or to evidence to a bidder at any sale which may be had pursuant to such
decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Trust Estate or
any portion thereof. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this section
mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of
the Trust Estate and the maintenance of the lien and security interest of this
Deed of Trust, including the reasonable fees of any attorney employed by
Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust or any
other Credit Document, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, including,
without limitation, civil, probate, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in
preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit
or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Trustor, with interest
thereon at the interest rate on the Notes, and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust. Trustee waives its right to any statutory fee in connection with any
judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees to accept a
reasonable fee for such services.


                                       19
<PAGE>   346
         3.18 Deficiency Judgments Recourse against Trustor, the other Portfolio
Entities, the Member and their respective Affiliates, members, partners,
stockholders, officers, directors and employees under this Deed of Trust shall
be limited to the extent provided in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement. Subject
to Article 9 of the Credit Agreement, if after foreclosure of this Deed of Trust
or Trustee's sale hereunder, there shall remain any deficiency with respect to
any amounts payable under the Credit Documents, including hereunder, or any
amounts secured hereby, and Beneficiary shall institute any proceedings to
recover such deficiency or deficiencies, all such amounts shall continue to bear
interest at the interest rate on the Notes. Subject to Article 9 of the Credit
Agreement, Trustor waives any defense to Beneficiary's recovery against Trustor
of any deficiency after any foreclosure sale of the Trust Estate. Subject to
Article 9 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, Trustor
expressly waives any defense or benefits that may be derived from any statute
granting Trustor any defense to any such recovery by Beneficiary. Subject to
Article 9 of the Credit Agreement, in addition, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be
entitled to recovery of all of their reasonable costs and expenditures
(including without limitation any court imposed costs) in connection with such
proceedings, including their reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisal fees and the
other costs, fees and expenditures referred to in Section 3.17 above. This
provision shall survive any foreclosure or sale of the Trust Estate, any portion
thereof and/or the extinguishment of the lien hereof.

         3.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. Beneficiary and Trustor each waive any right
to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute whether sounding in
contract, tort or otherwise arising out of, connected with, related to or
incidental to the relationship established between them in connection with this
Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or any other Credit Document. Any such disputes
shall be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.

         3.20 Exculpation of Beneficiary. The acceptance by Beneficiary of the
assignment contained herein with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of
the Trust Estate by Beneficiary, be deemed or construed to make Beneficiary a
"mortgagee in possession"; nor thereafter or at any time or in any event
obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to
the Trust Estate, nor shall Beneficiary, prior to such entry and taking, be
liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by
any Person in or about the Trust Estate.

              ARTICLE 4 - RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE;
                      OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRUSTEE

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, Trustor
and Beneficiary agree as follows.

         4.1 Exercise of Remedies by Trustee To the extent that this Deed of
Trust or applicable law authorizes or empowers Beneficiary to exercise any
remedies set forth in Article Three hereof or otherwise, or perform any acts in
connection therewith, Trustee (but not to the exclusion of Beneficiary unless so
required under the law of the State of [RELEVANT STATE]) shall have the power to
exercise any or all such remedies, and to perform any acts provided for in this
Deed of Trust in connection therewith, all for the benefit of Beneficiary and on
Beneficiary's behalf in accordance with applicable law of the State of [RELEVANT
STATE]. In connection therewith,


                                       20
<PAGE>   347
Trustee: (a) shall not exercise, or waive the exercise of, any Beneficiary's
Remedies (other than any rights or Trustee to any indemnity or reimbursement),
except at Beneficiary's request, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise
of, any or all of Beneficiary's remedies at Beneficiary's request, and in
accordance with Beneficiary's directions as to the manner of such exercise or
waiver. Trustee may, however, decline to follow Beneficiary's request or
direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding,
or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.

         4.2 Rights and Privileges of Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of
Trust requires Trustor to reimburse Beneficiary for any expenditures Beneficiary
may incur, Trustee shall be entitled to the same rights to reimbursement of
expenses as Beneficiary, subject to such limitations and conditions as would
apply in the case of Beneficiary. To the extent that this Deed of Trust negates
or limits Beneficiary's liability as to any matter, Trustee shall be entitled to
the same negation or limitation of liability. To the extent that Trustor,
pursuant to this Deed of Trust, appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney in
fact for any purpose, Beneficiary or (when so instructed by Beneficiary) Trustee
shall be entitled to act on Trustor's behalf without joinder or confirmation by
the other.

         4.3 Resignation or Replacement of Trustee Trustee may resign by an
instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary, and Trustee may be removed at
any time with or without cause (i.e., in Beneficiary's sole and absolute
discretion) by an instrument in writing executed by Beneficiary. In case of the
death, resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason
Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute, successor or
replacement Trustee to act instead of Trustee originally named (or in place of
any substitute, successor or replacement Trustee), then Beneficiary shall have
the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor,
substitute or replacement Trustee, and, if preferred, several substitute
trustees in succession, without any formality other than appointment and
designation in writing executed by Beneficiary, which instrument shall be
recorded if required by the law of the State of [RELEVANT STATE]. The law of the
State of [RELEVANT STATE] shall govern the qualifications of any Trustee. The
authority conferred upon Trustee by this Deed of Trust shall automatically
extend to any and all other successor, substitute and replacement Trustee(s)
successively until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or the Trust
Estate has been sold hereunder or released in accordance with the provisions of
the Credit Documents. Beneficiary's written appointment and designation of any
Trustee shall be full evidence of Beneficiary's right and authority to make the
same and of all facts therein recited. No confirmation, authorization, approval
or other action by Trustor shall be required in connection with any resignation
or other replacement of Trustee.

         4.4 Authority of Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a banking corporation,
state banking corporation or a national banking association and the instrument
of appointment of any successor or replacement Trustee is executed on
Beneficiary's behalf by an officer of such corporation, state banking
corporation or national banking association, then such appointment may be
executed by any authorized officer or agent of Beneficiary and such appointment
shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid
and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any
superior officer of Beneficiary.

         4.5 Effect of Appointment of Successor Trustee. Upon the appointment
and designation of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, Trustee's
entire estate and title in the Trust Estate shall vest in the designated
successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. Such successor, substitute or
replacement Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and
execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein
conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to
refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated
as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.

         4.6 Confirmation of Transfer and Succession. Any new Trustee appointed
pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and
trusts of his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if
originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request
of Beneficiary or of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, any
former Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee all of the
right, title, estate and interest in the Trust Estate of Trustee so ceasing to
act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties
herein conferred upon Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all
properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor,
substitute or replacement Trustee.

         4.7 Exculpation. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
or act done by Trustee in good faith, or otherwise be responsible or accountable
under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence,
willful misconduct or knowing violation of law. Trustee shall not be personally
liable in case of entry by him, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers
herein granted him, upon the Trust Estate for debts contracted or liability or
damages incurred in the management or operation of the Trust Estate. Trustee
shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature
authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it
hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by
Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any
manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law). Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.

         4.8 Endorsement and Execution of Documents. Upon Beneficiary's written
request, Trustee shall, without liability or notice to Trustor, execute, consent
to, or join in any instrument or agreement in connection with or necessary to
effectuate the purposes of the Credit Documents. Trustor hereby irrevocably
designates Trustee as its attorney in fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver,
on Trustor's behalf and in Trustor's name, all instruments or agreements
necessary to implement any provision(s) of this Deed of Trust or to further
perfect the lien created by this Deed of Trust on the Trust Estate. This power
of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive any
disability of Trustor.

         4.9 Multiple Trustees. If Beneficiary appoints multiple trustees, then
any Trustee, individually, may exercise all powers granted to Trustee under this
instrument, without the need for action by any other Trustee(s).


                                       22
<PAGE>   349
         4.10 No Required Action. Trustee shall not be required to take any
action under this Deed of Trust or to institute, appear in or defend any action,
suit or other proceeding in connection therewith where in his opinion such
action will be likely to involve him in expense or liability, unless requested
so to do by a written instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so
requests, unless Trustee is tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to him
against any and all costs, expense and liabilities arising therefrom. Trustee
shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of the
Credit Documents, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the
sufficiency of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby,
and makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights,
remedies and recourses of Beneficiary.

         4.11 Terms of Trustee's Acceptance. Trustee accepts the trust created
by this Deed of Trust upon the following terms and conditions:

                  (a) DELEGATION. Trustee may exercise any of its powers through
appointment of attorney(s) in fact or agents.

                  (b) SECURITY. Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any
action upon any Event of Default unless furnished security or indemnity, in form
satisfactory to Trustee, against costs, expenses, and liabilities that Trustee
may incur.

                  (c) COSTS AND EXPENSES. Trustor shall reimburse Trustee, as
part of the Secured Obligations secured hereunder, for all reasonable
disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
incurred by reason of or arising from an Event of Default and as provided for in
this Deed of Trust, including any of the foregoing incurred in Trustee's
administering and executing the trust created by this Deed of Trust and
performing Trustee's duties and exercising Trustee's powers under this Deed of
Trust.

                  (d) RELEASE. Upon payment of the Secured Obligations secured
hereunder, Beneficiary shall request Trustee to release this Deed of Trust and
shall surrender all the Secured Obligations secured hereunder to Trustee.
Trustee shall release this Deed of Trust without charge to Trustor. Trustor
shall pay all costs of recordation, if any.

                              ARTICLE 5 - GENERAL

         5.1 Discharge. When all of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid
in full, then this Deed of Trust and the lien and security interest created
hereby shall be of no further force and effect, Trustor shall be released from
the covenants, agreements and obligations of Trustor contained in this Deed of
Trust and all right, title and interest in and to the Trust Estate shall revert
to Trustor. Beneficiary and Trustee, at the request and the expense of Trustor,
shall promptly execute a deed of reconveyance and such other documents as may be
reasonably requested by Trustor to evidence the discharge and satisfaction of
this Deed of Trust and the release of Trustor from its obligations hereunder.

         5.2 No Waiver. The exercise of the privileges granted in this Deed of
Trust to perform Trustor's obligations under the agreements which constitute the
Trust Estate shall in no event be considered or constitute a waiver of any right
which Beneficiary may have at any time, after an


                                       23
<PAGE>   350
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to declare the Secured
Obligations to be immediately due and payable. No delay or omission to exercise
any right, remedy or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such
right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default
or acquiescence therein; and every such right, remedy and power may be exercised
from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

         5.3 Extension, Rearrangement or Renewal of Secured Obligations. It is
expressly agreed that any of the Secured Obligations at any time secured hereby
may be from time to time extended for any period, or with the consent of Trustor
rearranged or renewed, and that any part of the security herein described, or
any other security for the Secured Obligations, may be waived or released,
without altering, varying or diminishing the force, effect or lien or security
interest of this Deed of Trust; and the lien and security interest granted by
this Deed of Trust shall continue as a prior lien and security interest on all
of the Trust Estate not expressly so released, until the Secured Obligations are
fully paid and this Deed of Trust is terminated in accordance with the
provisions hereof; and no other security now existing or hereafter taken to
secure the payment of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof or the
performance of any obligation or liability of Trustor whatever shall in any
manner impair or affect the security given by this Deed of Trust; and all
security for the payment of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof and the
performance of any obligation or liability shall be taken, considered and held
as cumulative.

         5.4 Forcible Detainer. Trustor agrees for itself and all Persons
claiming by, through or under it, that subsequent to foreclosure hereunder in
accordance with this Deed of Trust and applicable law if Trustor shall hold
possession of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, Trustor or the Persons so
holding possession shall be guilty of trespass; and any such tenant failing or
refusing to surrender possession upon demand shall be guilty of forcible
detainer and shall be liable to such purchasers for reasonable rental on said
premises, and shall be subject to eviction and removal in accordance with law.

         5.5 Waiver of Stay or Extension. To the extent permitted to be waived
by law, Trustor shall not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner
whatever claim the benefit or advantage of any stay, extension or moratorium law
now or at any time hereafter in force in any locality where the Trust Estate or
any part thereof may or shall be situated, nor shall Trustor claim any benefit
or advantage from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation
or appraisement of the Trust Estate or any part thereof prior to any sale
thereof to be made pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust or to a
decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, nor after any such sale shall
Trustor claim or exercise any right conferred by any law now or at any time
hereafter in force to redeem the Trust Estate so sold or any part thereof; and
Trustor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws
and the appraisement of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, and covenants that
Trustor shall not hinder or delay the execution of any power herein granted and
delegated to Beneficiary but that Trustor shall permit the execution of every
such power as though no such law had been made.

         5.6 Notices. Except where certified or registered mail notice is
required by applicable law, any notice to Trustor or Beneficiary required or
permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be given when given in the manner
prescribed in Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement. All notices to


                                       24
<PAGE>   351
Trustee required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed given when given in the
manner prescribed in Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement to the following
address:

                           [TRUSTEE ADDRESS]

         5.7 Severability. All rights, powers and remedies provided herein may
be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any
applicable law, and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they will not render this Deed of Trust invalid, unenforceable or not entitled
to be recorded, registered or filed under any applicable law. In the event any
term or provision contained in this Deed of Trust is in conflict, or may
hereafter be held to be in conflict, with the laws of [RELEVANT STATE] or of the
United States of America, this Deed of Trust shall be affected only as to such
particular term or provision, and shall in all other respects remain in full
force and effect.

         5.8 Application of Payments. In the event that any part of the Secured
Obligations cannot lawfully be secured hereby, or in the event that the lien and
security interest hereof cannot be lawfully enforced to pay any part of the
Secured Obligations, or in the event that the lien or security interest created
by this Deed of Trust shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the
Secured Obligations, then all payments on the Secured Obligations shall be
deemed to have been first applied to the complete payment and liquidation of
that part of the Secured Obligations which is not secured by this Deed of Trust
and the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations shall be completely paid
and liquidated prior to the payment and liquidation of the remaining secured
portion of the Secured Obligations.

         5.9 Governing Law

                    THIS DEED OF TRUST IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF [RELEVANT STATE.]

         5.10 Entire Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE GUARANTY AND THE
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY
NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES.

         TRUSTOR                                     BENEFICIARY

         5.11 Amendments. This Deed of Trust may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified only by an instrument in writing signed by Trustor and
Beneficiary.


                                       25
<PAGE>   352
         5.12 Successors and Assigns. All terms of this Deed of Trust shall run
with the land and bind each of Trustor and Beneficiary and their respective
successors and assigns, and all Persons claiming under or through Trustor or
Beneficiary, as the case may be, or any such successor or assign, and shall
inure to the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor, and their respective successors
and assigns.

         5.13 Renewal, Etc. Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time
renew or extend this Deed of Trust, or alter or modify the same in any way, or
waive any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof in whole or in part and
may release any portion of the Trust Estate or any other security, and grant
such extensions and indulgences in relation to the Secured Obligations as
Beneficiary may determine, without the consent of any junior lienor or
encumbrancer and without any obligation to give notice of any kind thereto and
without in any manner affecting the priority of the lien and security interest
hereof on any part of the Trust Estate; provided that nothing in this Section
5.13 shall grant Beneficiary the right to alter or modify the Deed of Trust
without the consent of the Trustor unless otherwise specifically permitted in
this Deed of Trust.

         5.14 Future Advances. This Deed of Trust is executed and delivered to
secure, among other things, Trustor's guaranty of future advances under the
Credit Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this Deed of Trust secures
Trustor's guaranty of present and future advances made pursuant to the Credit
Agreement and that the lien of such future advances shall relate to the date of
this Deed of Trust. The advances are being used by Trustor to pay for all or
part of the cost of completing erection, acquisition, construction, alteration
or repair of any part of the Project, the financing of which, in whole or in
part, this Deed of Trust was given to secure.

         5.15 Liability. Notwithstanding any provision in this Deed of Trust to
the contrary, Recourse against the Trustor, the other Portfolio Entities, the
Member and their respective Affiliates (all as defined in the Credit Agreement),
stockholders, officers, directors and employees under this Deed of Trust shall
be limited to the extent provided in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement.

         5.16 [SEVERABILITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH USURY LAW. THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS
ARE INTENDED TO BE PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY, ALL APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. IF ANY
PROVISION OF ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE APPLICATION THEREOF TO ANY
PERSON OR CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL, FOR ANY REASON AND TO ANY EXTENT, BE INVALID OR
UNENFORCEABLE, NEITHER THE REMAINDER OF THE INSTRUMENT IN WHICH SUCH PROVISION
IS CONTAINED, NOR THE APPLICATION OF SUCH PROVISION TO OTHER PERSONS OR
CIRCUMSTANCES, NOR THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREINABOVE, SHALL BE
AFFECTED THEREBY, BUT RATHER SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW. IT IS EXPRESSLY STIPULATED AND AGREED TO BE THE INTENT OF
TRUSTOR AND BENEFICIARY AT ALL TIMES TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE [RELEVANT
STATE] LAW GOVERNING THE MAXIMUM RATE OR AMOUNT OF INTEREST PAYABLE ON OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS (OR APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW
TO THE EXTENT THAT IT PERMITS BENEFICIARY TO CONTRACT FOR, CHARGE, TAKE, RESERVE
OR RECEIVE A GREATER AMOUNT OF INTEREST THAN UNDER [RELEVANT STATE] LAW). IF THE
APPLICABLE LAW IS EVER JUDICIALLY INTERPRETED SO AS TO RENDER USURIOUS ANY
AMOUNT CALLED FOR UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED, TAKEN,
RESERVED OR RECEIVED WITH RESPECT TO THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT EVIDENCED BY THE
CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR IF ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS
OR IF ANY PREPAYMENT BY TRUSTOR RESULTS IN TRUSTOR


                                       26
<PAGE>   353
HAVING PAID ANY INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THAT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEN IT IS
TRUSTOR'S AND BENEFICIARY'S EXPRESS INTENT THAT ALL EXCESS AMOUNTS THERETOFORE
COLLECTED BY BENEFICIARY BE CREDITED ON THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE DUE UNDER THE
CREDIT DOCUMENTS (OR, IF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN OR WOULD THEREBY BE PAID
IN FULL, REFUNDED TO TRUSTOR), AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS
IMMEDIATELY BE DEEMED REFORMED AND THE AMOUNTS THEREAFTER COLLECTIBLE THEREUNDER
REDUCED, WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF THE EXECUTION OF ANY NEW DOCUMENT, SO AS TO
COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW, BUT SO AS TO PERMIT THE RECOVERY OF THE FULLEST
AMOUNT OTHERWISE CALLED FOR HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER. THE RIGHT TO ACCELERATE
MATURITY OF SECURED OBLIGATIONS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO ACCELERATE ANY
INTEREST WHICH HAS NOT OTHERWISE ACCRUED ON THE DATE OF SUCH ACCELERATION, AND
BENEFICIARY DOES NOT INTEND TO COLLECT ANY UNEARNED INTEREST IN THE EVENT OF
ACCELERATION. ALL SUMS PAID OR AGREED TO BE PAID TO BENEFICIARY FOR THE USE,
FORBEARANCE OR DETENTION OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BE AMORTIZED, PRORATED, ALLOCATED AND SPREAD
THROUGHOUT THE FULL TERM OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS UNTIL PAYMENT IN FULL SO
THAT THE RATE OR AMOUNT OF INTEREST ON ACCOUNT OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS DOES
NOT EXCEED THE APPLICABLE USURY CEILING.]

         5.17 [SUBJECT TO GROUND LEASE. THE TRUSTOR, THE BENEFICIARY AND THE
TRUSTEE ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS DEED OF TRUST IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THE GROUND LEASE. IN THE EVENT OF A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS
OF THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE GROUND LEASE, THE TERMS OF THE GROUND LEASE SHALL
SUPERSEDE AND CONTROL.]

         5.18 Release of Collateral.

                  (a) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, The
Trust Estate or any part thereof shall be released from the security interest
created by this Deed of Trust at any time or from time to time upon the request
of the Trustor; provided that the requirements of the Credit Documents have been
satisfied. Upon satisfaction of such requirements, a Responsible Officer of the
Beneficiary shall instruct the Trustee to promptly execute, deliver and
acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or
release to evidence the release of any Trust Estate permitted to be released
pursuant to this Deed of Trust.

                  (b) The Beneficiary may instruct the Trustee to release Trust
Estate from the security interest created hereunder upon the sale or disposition
of such Trust Estate pursuant to the Beneficiary's powers, rights and duties
with respect to remedies provided herein.

         5.19 Fixture Filing Under Uniform Commercial Code. Trustor and the
Beneficiary agree, to the extent permitted by law, that: (i) this Deed of Trust
upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office
shall constitute a financing statement filed as a "fixture filing" within the
meaning of [SECTIONS 9-313 AND 9-402] of the UCC; and (ii) the addresses of
Trustor and Beneficiary are as set forth on the last page of this Deed of Trust.

         5.20 Credit Agreement Controls. [EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 5.17
HEREOF,] In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth
in this Deed of Trust and those set forth in the Credit Agreement, the terms and
provisions of the Credit Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and
provisions of this Deed of Trust.

its intent to cure such default and upon the commencement thereof,
Administrative Agent will proceed diligently to cure such default. Any cure by

Assigned Agreement, and neither Administrative Agent nor any of the Banks shall
be liable to Borrower or any other Person as a result of any actions undertaken
by Administrative Agent in curing or attempting to cure any such default, except

be deemed to release or to affect in any way the obligations of Borrower under
the Assigned Agreements.

Agreements except as provided in the Credit Documents.

financing statement, security agreement or other instrument similar in effect
covering all or any part of the Collateral, except such as may have been filed
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or pursuant to the
documents evidencing Permitted Liens.

         4.3 Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Borrower is lawfully
possessed of ownership of the Collateral and has full right, title and interest
in and to all rights purported to be granted to it under the Assigned
Agreements, not subject to any mortgages, liens, charges, or encumbrances except
Permitted Liens. Borrower has full power and lawful authority to grant and
assign the Collateral hereunder.

     5. COVENANTS OF BORROWER. Borrower covenants as follows:


         5.1 Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any Assigned
Agreement may be taken by Administrative Agent either in Borrower's name or in
Administrative Agent's name, as Administrative Agent may deem necessary.

         5.2 Borrower will, so long as any Obligations shall be outstanding,
warrant and defend its title to the Collateral and the interest of
Administrative Agent in the Collateral against any claim or demand of any
persons (other than Permitted Liens) which could reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect Borrower's title to, or Administrative Agent's right
or interest in, such Collateral.

         5.3 Borrower will at all times keep accurate and complete records of
the Collateral. Borrower shall permit representatives of Administrative Agent
upon reasonable prior notice, and in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Credit
Agreement, at any time during normal business hours of Borrower to inspect and

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at
Administrative Agent's request, Borrower shall promptly deliver copies of any
and all such records to Administrative Agent.

         5.4 Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall
give Administrative Agent at least 45 days' notice before it changes the
location of its principal place of business, chief executive office or state of
organization and shall at the expense of Borrower execute and deliver such
instruments and documents as may reasonably be required by Administrative Agent
to maintain a prior perfected security interest in the Collateral.


                                       5
<PAGE>   368
     6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement, whatever the reason therefor and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law, or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body, shall constitute an event of default
hereunder (an "Event of Default").

     7. REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

         7.1 If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Administrative Agent may (1) declare any amounts payable by Borrower under the
Credit Agreement to be due and payable immediately and thereupon the same shall
become immediately due and payable (provided that if such Event of Default
occurs under Section 8.1.4 of the Credit Agreement with respect to Borrower, all
such amounts shall become automatically due and payable); (2) proceed to protect
and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement, including but not limited
to, the right to cause all revenues pledged hereby as security and all other
moneys pledged hereunder to be paid directly to it, and to enforce its rights
hereunder to such payments and all other rights hereunder by such appropriate
judicial proceedings as it shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any
of such rights, either at law or in equity or otherwise, whether for specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in any of the Assigned
Agreements, or in aid of the exercise of any power therein or herein granted, or
for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any
judicial proceeding, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in
it by this Agreement or by law; (3) cause any action at law or suit in equity or
other proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to collect or enforce any
Obligations or rights hereunder or included in the Collateral, or to foreclose
or enforce any other agreement or other instrument by or under or pursuant to
which such Obligations are issued or secured, subject in each case to the
provisions and requirements thereof; (4) sell or otherwise dispose of any or all
of the Collateral or cause the Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of in
one or more sales or transactions, at such prices and in such manner as
Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and for cash or on credit
or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk at any broker's
board or at public or private sale, with or without a warranty of title, without
demand of performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale
(except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived),
it being agreed that Administrative Agent may be a purchaser on behalf of the
Banks or on its own behalf at any such sale and that Administrative Agent, any
Bank, or any other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value and without
notice of any claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter
hold the same absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind,
including any equity of redemption, of Borrower, any such demand, notice or
right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent
permitted by law; (5) incur reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, reasonable consultants' fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise
of any right or power under this Agreement; (6) perform any obligation of
Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document, and make payments,
purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien, and pay taxes
and expenses without, however, any obligation to do so; (7) in connection with
any acceleration and foreclosure, take possession of the Collateral and render
it usable and repair and renovate the same without, however, any obligation to
do so, and enter upon any Site or any other location where the same may be
located for that purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the
Collateral, either separately or in

                                       6
<PAGE>   369
conjunction with any Project, collect all rents and income from the Collateral
and apply the same to reimburse the Banks for any cost or expenses incurred
hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents and to the payment or performance
of Borrower's obligations hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, and
apply the balance to the Loans of Borrower as provided for in the Credit
Agreement and any remaining excess balance to whomsoever is legally entitled
thereto; (8) secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part
thereof; or (9) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies granted to a
secured party under the UCC. If pursuant to applicable law prior notice of any
such action is required to be given to Borrower, Borrower hereby acknowledges
that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum time is
specified, 10 Banking Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period.

         7.2 All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any such
suit or proceeding or in connection with the performance by Administrative Agent
of any of Borrower's agreements contained in any of the Assigned Agreements or
any exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law)
computed at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate from the date on which
such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof, shall
constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be paid
by Borrower to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks on demand.

     8. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY NOT WAIVER.

         8.1 No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Administrative
Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several
consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial
proceedings, or both.

         8.2 No delay or omission of Administrative Agent to exercise any right
or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and
every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Administrative Agent.

     9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other realization upon,
all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs
and expenses incurred by and due and owing to Administrative Agent and the Banks
under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the Collateral
Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including
any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have
accrued on such

                                       7
<PAGE>   370
amounts); third, to the principal amounts of the Obligations outstanding;
fourth, to any other Obligations of Borrower owing to Administrative Agent or
the Banks; and fifth, to, or as directed by, Borrower.

     10. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints
Administrative Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the Banks and each
successor or assign of Administrative Agent and the Banks, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Borrower, with full power and authority in the place and
stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, Administrative Agent or otherwise
to enforce all rights, interests and remedies of Borrower with respect to the
Collateral, including, without limitation, the right:

         10.1 to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and
all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of
the Assigned Agreements or any of the other Collateral, including without
limitation, any insurance policies;

         10.2 to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith;

         10.3 to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
in connection therewith which Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be
necessary or advisable;

         10.4 to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or
become liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to Administrative
Agent has been provided; and

         10.5 upon foreclosure and to the extent provided in the Consents, to do
any and every act which Borrower may do on its behalf with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of Borrower's rights
and remedies under any or all of the Assigned Agreements;

provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not exercise any such rights
except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power
of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

     11. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if Borrower fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Administrative Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations.

     12. PERFECTION; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         12.1 Borrower agrees that from time to time, at the expense of
Borrower, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments and
documents, and take all action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that
Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the
assignment and security interest granted or intended to be granted

                                       8
<PAGE>   371
hereby or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall (i) with respect to the Development
Company Portfolio Entity Note and any other Collateral evidenced by a promissory
note or other instrument in excess of $5,000, deliver and pledge to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks such note duly endorsed
without recourse, and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and
(ii) execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or
notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable or as Administrative Agent
may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and
security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby.

         12.2 Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to
all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where
permitted by law.

         12.3 Borrower shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees and
all refiling, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses
incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance,
and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes,
duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto,
any financing statements, and any instruments of further assurance.

         12.4 Borrower shall, promptly upon request, provide to Administrative
Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the
Collateral to enable Administrative Agent to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.

     13. PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF RECORDS. Unless Administrative Agent is
otherwise notified under Section 5.4, the place of business and chief executive
office of Borrower is, and all records of Borrower concerning the Collateral are
and will be, located at the address set forth in Schedule 4.24 to the Credit
Agreement and Borrower is, and will be, a limited liability company organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

     14. CONTINUING ASSIGNMENT AND SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF NOTES. This
Agreement shall create a continuing assignment of, and security interest in, the
Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full
of the Obligations, (b) be binding upon Borrower, its successors and assigns;
provided, however, that the obligations of Borrower, its successors and assigns
hereunder may not be assigned without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent; and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
Administrative Agent, to the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Banks and
their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement,
Administrative Agent or any of the Banks may assign or otherwise transfer all or
any part of or interest in the Notes and the other Credit Documents or other
evidence of indebtedness held by them to any other Person to the extent
permitted by and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such other Person
shall thereupon become vested with all or an appropriate part of the benefits in
respect thereof granted to the Banks herein or

                                       9
<PAGE>   372
otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the Collateral,
the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by Administrative
Agent to any security it may have in any order it may deem appropriate, shall
not affect the liability of any person on the indebtedness secured hereby. If
this Agreement shall be terminated or revoked by operation of law, Borrower will
indemnify and save Administrative Agent and the Banks harmless from any loss
which may be suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent and the Banks in
acting hereunder prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent, its successors,
transferees, or assigns of notice of such termination or revocation.

     15. TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Upon the indefeasible payment in full
of the Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower. Upon any such termination,
Administrative Agent will, at Borrower's expense, execute and, subject to
Section 21 hereof, deliver to Borrower such documents (including, without
limitation, UCC-3 termination statements) as Borrower shall reasonably request
to evidence such termination.

     16. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event any legal action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, any of the remedies provided for herein or at
law) is commenced to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any provision
thereof, unless Borrower is the prevailing party, Borrower shall indemnify each
of Administrative Agent and the Banks for their reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses incurred therein, and if a judgment or award is entered
in any such action or proceeding, such reasonable attorneys' fees and other
costs and expenses may be made a part of such judgment or award.

     17. LIABILITY. Recourse against the Borrower, the other Portfolio Entities,
the Member and their respective Affiliates, members, partners, stockholders,
officers, directors and employees under this Agreement shall be limited to the
extent provided in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement.

     18. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; CONSENTS. No amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by
Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written
concurrence of Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

     19. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under the terms and
provisions hereof shall be in writing and any such notice shall be effective if
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Notices to Borrower may be given at the address of Borrower set forth in such
Section 12.1.

     20. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, including all matters of construction,
validity, performance and the creation, validity, enforcement or priority of the
lien of, and security interests created by, this Agreement in or upon the
Collateral shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York, without
reference to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law), except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except
to the extent that the validity or perfection of the lien and security interest
hereunder, or remedies

                                       10
<PAGE>   373
hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the state of New York.

     21. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by
Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation of Borrower or any general partner of
Borrower or upon the dissolution of, or appointment of any intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, Borrower or any general
partner of Borrower or any substantial part of Borrower's or any of its general
partners' assets, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     22. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if
any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect
only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall
not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or
any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

     23. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. All agreements, representations and warranties
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans and extensions of credit
thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the
contrary, the agreements, representations and warranties of Borrower set forth
herein shall terminate only upon payment of the Obligations, and the termination
of all Commitments and other obligations of the Banks under the Credit
Documents.

     24. HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

executed in connection herewith, is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and is intended as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions thereof.

     26. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

     27. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall

         2.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Owner
shall remain liable under each of the Assigned Agreements to perform all of the
obligations undertaken by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to
the terms and provisions thereof, and Administrative Agent shall have no

arising out of this Agreement, nor shall Administrative Agent be required or
obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of Owner
thereunder or to make any payment or inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of
any payment received by it, or present or file any claim or take any action to
collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it
or to which it may be entitled at any time.

         2.4 If any default by Owner under any of the Assigned Agreements shall

intends to remedy the default. After giving such notice of its intent to cure
such default and upon

                                       5
<PAGE>   383
the commencement thereof, Administrative Agent will proceed diligently to cure
such default. Any cure by Administrative Agent of Owner's default under any of
the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as an assumption by
Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of any obligations, covenants or
agreements of Owner under such Assigned Agreement, and neither Administrative
Agent nor any of the Banks shall be liable to Owner or any other Person as a
result of any actions undertaken by Administrative Agent in curing or attempting
to cure any such default, except as set forth in Section 12.13 of the Credit
Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed to release or to affect in any way
the obligations of Owner under the Assigned Agreements.

this Agreement and all of the Collateral secure the payment and performance when
due of the [IF PROJECT OWNER: GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE

IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT) OF EACH OF THE PORTFOLIO ENTITIES (INCLUDING OWNER)

AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS TO WHICH BORROWER IS A PARTY] to the
Administrative Agent and the Banks (the "Obligations"); provided, however, the
Obligations as defined in this Section 3 shall not include any Obligations (as

Agreement) that have achieved Operation prior to the effective date of this
Agreement.

     4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF OWNER. Owner represents and warrants

Agreements except as provided in the Credit Documents.

         4.2 Owner has not executed and is not aware of any effective financing
statement, security agreement or other instrument similar in effect covering all
or any part of the Collateral, except such as may have been filed pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or pursuant to the documents
evidencing Permitted Liens.

         4.3 Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Owner is lawfully
possessed of ownership of the Collateral and has full right, title and interest
in and to all rights purported to be granted to it under the Assigned
Agreements, not subject to any mortgages, liens, charges, or encumbrances except

the Collateral hereunder.

     5. COVENANTS OF OWNER. Owner covenants as follows:

<PAGE>   384
         5.2 Owner will, so long as any Obligations shall be outstanding,
warrant and defend its title to the Collateral and the interest of
Administrative Agent in the Collateral against any claim or demand of any
persons (other than Permitted Liens) which could reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect Owner's title to, or Administrative Agent's right or
interest in, such Collateral.

         5.3 Owner will at all times keep accurate and complete records of the
Collateral. Owner shall permit representatives of Administrative Agent upon
reasonable prior notice, and in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Credit
Agreement, at any time during normal business hours of Owner to inspect and make
abstracts from Owner's books and records pertaining to the Collateral. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at
Administrative Agent's request, Owner shall promptly deliver copies of any and
all such records to Administrative Agent.

         5.4 Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, Owner shall give
Administrative Agent at least 45 days' notice before it changes the location of
its principal place of business, chief executive office or state of organization
and shall at the expense of Owner execute and deliver such instruments and
documents as may reasonably be required by Administrative Agent to maintain a
prior perfected security interest in the Collateral.

     6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement, whatever the reason therefor and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law, or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body, shall constitute an event of default
hereunder (an "Event of Default").

     7. REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

         7.1 If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Administrative Agent may (a) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in
it by this Agreement, including but not limited to, the right to cause all
revenues pledged hereby as security and all other moneys pledged hereunder to be
paid directly to it, and to enforce its rights hereunder to such payments and
all other rights hereunder by such appropriate judicial proceedings as it shall
deem most effective to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or
in equity or otherwise, whether for specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in any of the Assigned Agreements, or in aid of the exercise
of any power therein or herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and
sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding, or to enforce any
other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law; (b)
cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be instituted
and prosecuted to collect or enforce any Obligations or rights hereunder or
included in the Collateral, or to foreclose or enforce any other agreement or
other instrument by or under or pursuant to which such Obligations are issued or
secured, subject in each case to the provisions and requirements thereof; (c)
sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral or cause the
Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of in one or more sales or
transactions, at such prices and in such manner as Administrative Agent may deem
commercially reasonable, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery,
without assumption of any credit risk at any broker's board or at public or

                                       7
<PAGE>   385
private sale, with or without a warranty of title, without demand of
performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale (except
such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), it being
agreed that Administrative Agent may be a purchaser on behalf of the Banks or on
its own behalf at any such sale and that Administrative Agent, any Bank, or any
other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value and without notice of
any claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the
same absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any
equity of redemption, of Owner, any such demand, notice or right and equity
being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by law; (d)
incur reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable
consultants' fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or
power under this Agreement; (e) perform any obligation of Owner hereunder or
under any other Credit Document, and make payments, purchase, contest or
compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien, and pay taxes and expenses without,
however, any obligation to do so; (f) in connection with any acceleration and
foreclosure, take possession of the Collateral and render it usable and repair
and renovate the same without, however, any obligation to do so, and enter upon
any Site or any other location where the same may be located for that purpose,
control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral[, EITHER SEPARATELY OR
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROJECT], collect all rents and income from the
Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Banks for any cost or expenses
incurred hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents and to the payment or
performance of Owner's obligations hereunder or under any of the Credit
Documents, and apply the balance to the Loans of Borrower as provided for in the
Credit Agreement and any remaining excess balance to whomsoever is legally
entitled thereto; (g) secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or
any part thereof; or (h) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies
granted to a secured party under the UCC. If pursuant to applicable law prior
notice of any such action is required to be given to Owner, Owner hereby
acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no
minimum time is specified, 10 Banking Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice
period.

         7.2 All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any such
suit or proceeding or in connection with the performance by Administrative Agent
of any of Owner's agreements contained in any of the Assigned Agreements or any
exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law)
computed at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate from the date on which
such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof, shall
constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be paid
by Owner to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks on demand.

     8. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY NOT WAIVER.

         8.1 No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or


                                       8
<PAGE>   386
remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Administrative
Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several
consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial
proceedings, or both.

         8.2 No delay or omission of Administrative Agent to exercise any right
or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and
every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Administrative Agent.

     9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other realization upon,
all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs
and expenses incurred by and due and owing to Administrative Agent and the Banks
under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the Collateral
Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including
any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have
accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amounts of the Obligations
outstanding; fourth, to any other Obligations of Owner owing to Administrative
Agent or the Banks; and fifth, to, or as directed by, Owner.

     10. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Owner hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative
Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the Banks and each successor or
assign of Administrative Agent and the Banks, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Owner, with full power and authority in the place and stead
of Owner and in the name of Owner, Administrative Agent or otherwise to enforce
all rights, interests and remedies of Owner with respect to the Collateral,
including, without limitation, the right:

         10.1 to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and
all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of
the Assigned Agreements or any of the other Collateral, including without
limitation, any insurance policies;

         10.2 to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith;

         10.3 to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
in connection therewith which Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be
necessary or advisable;

         10.4 to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or
become liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to Administrative
Agent has been provided; and

         10.5 upon foreclosure and to the extent provided in the Consents, to do
any and every act which Owner may do on its behalf with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof

                                       9
<PAGE>   387
and to exercise any or all of Owner's rights and remedies under any or all of
the Assigned Agreements;

provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not exercise any such rights
except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power
of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

     11. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if Owner fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Administrative Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations.

     12. PERFECTION; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         12.1 Owner agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Owner,
Owner shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take
all action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security
interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Administrative
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner shall
(a) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument in excess of $5,000, deliver and pledge to Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Banks such note duly endorsed without recourse, and
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form
and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and (b) execute and deliver
to Administrative Agent such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be
reasonably necessary or desirable or as Administrative Agent may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests
granted or purported to be granted hereby.

         12.2 Owner hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or
any part of the Collateral without the signature of Owner where permitted by
law.

         12.3 Owner shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees and
all refiling, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses
incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance,
and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes,
duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto,
any financing statements, and any instruments of further assurance.

         12.4 Owner shall, promptly upon request, provide to Administrative
Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the
Collateral to enable Administrative Agent to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.

     13. PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF RECORDS. Unless Administrative Agent is
otherwise notified under Section 5.4, the place of business and chief executive
office of Owner is, and all records of Owner concerning the Collateral are and
will be, located at the address set forth in Schedule 4.24 to the Credit
Agreement and Owner is, and will be, a _________ organized under the laws of the

     14. CONTINUING ASSIGNMENT AND SECURITY INTEREST; [FOR PROJECT OWNERS ONLY:
TRANSFER OF GUARANTY]. This Agreement shall create a continuing assignment of,
and security interest in, the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of the Obligations, (b) be binding upon Owner, its
successors and assigns; provided, however, that the obligations of Owner, its
successors and assigns hereunder may not be assigned without the prior written
consent of Administrative Agent; and (c) inure, together with the rights and
remedies of Administrative Agent, to the benefit of Administrative Agent, the
Banks and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing but subject to the terms of the Credit
Agreement, Administrative Agent or any of the Banks may assign or otherwise
transfer all or any part of or interest in the Notes and the other Credit
Documents[INSERT IF PROJECT OWNER: , INCLUDING THE GUARANTY,] or other evidence
of indebtedness held by them to any other Person to the extent permitted by and
in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon
become vested with all or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof
granted to the Banks herein or otherwise. The release of the security interest
in any or all of the Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional
security, or the resort by Administrative Agent to any security it may have in
any order it may deem appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any person
on the indebtedness secured hereby. If this Agreement shall be terminated or
revoked by operation of law, Owner will indemnify and save Administrative Agent
and the Banks harmless from any loss which may be suffered or incurred by
Administrative Agent and the Banks in acting hereunder prior to the receipt by
Administrative Agent, its successors, transferees, or assigns of notice of such
termination or revocation.

     15. TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Upon the indefeasible payment in full
of the Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Owner. Upon any such termination,
Administrative Agent will, at Owner's expense, execute and, subject to Section
21 hereof, deliver to Owner such documents (including, without limitation, UCC-3
termination statements) as Owner shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.

     16. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event any legal action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, any of the remedies provided for herein or at
law) is commenced to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any provision
thereof, unless Owner is the prevailing party, Owner shall indemnify each of
Administrative Agent and the Banks for their reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses incurred therein, and if a judgment or award is entered
in any such action or proceeding, such reasonable attorneys' fees and other
costs and expenses may be made a part of such judgment or award.

     17. LIABILITY. Recourse against the Owner, the other Portfolio Entities,
the Member and their respective Affiliates, members, partners, stockholders,
officers, directors and employees

Owner therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence
of Administrative Agent and the Owner.

provisions hereof shall be in writing and any such notice shall be effective if
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Notices to Owner may be given at the address of Borrower set forth in such
Section 12.1.

     20. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, including all matters of construction,
validity, performance and the creation, validity, enforcement or priority of the
lien of, and security interests created by, this Agreement in or upon the
Collateral shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York, without
reference to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law), except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except
to the extent that the validity or perfection of the lien and security interest
hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are

PRIORITY OF THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREUNDER IN RESPECT TO THE
OPERATING ACCOUNT IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ________ [INSERT STATE
WHERE OPERATING ACCOUNT HELD].

     21. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by
Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation of Owner or any general partner of Owner
or upon the dissolution of, or appointment of any intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar official for, Owner or any general partner of Owner or any
substantial part of Owner's or any of its general partners' assets, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     22. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if
any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect
only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall
not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or
any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

     23. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. All agreements, representations and warranties
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans and extensions of credit

contrary, the agreements, representations and warranties of Owner set forth
herein shall terminate only upon payment of the Obligations, and the termination
of all Commitments and other obligations of the Banks under the Credit
Documents.

event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the
attachment, perfection or priority of the security interest in any Collateral is
governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other
than the State of New York, the term "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions
hereof relating to such attachment, perfection or priority and for purposes of
definitions related to such provisions.

         1.2 All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall
have the meanings provided in the Credit Agreement. All other terms used herein

                  2.1.5 the proceeds of all of the foregoing (all of the
collateral described in clauses 2.1.1 through 2.1.5, being herein collectively
referred to as the "Collateral"), including without limitation, (a) all rights
of Owner to receive moneys due and to become due under or pursuant to the
Collateral; (b) all rights of Owner to receive the return of any premiums for,
or proceeds of, any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to
the Collateral or to receive any condemnation proceeds; (c) all claims of Owner
for damages arising out of, or for breach of or default under, the Assigned
Agreements or any other Collateral; (d) all rights of Owner to terminate, amend,

thereunder; and (e) to the extent not included in the foregoing, all proceeds
receivable or received when any and all of the foregoing Collateral is sold,
collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily.

         2.2 In order to effectuate the foregoing, Owner has heretofore
delivered, or concurrently with the delivery hereof, is delivering to
Administrative Agent an executed counterpart or certified copy of each of the
Assigned Agreements. Owner will likewise deliver to Administrative Agent an
executed counterpart of each future lease, construction agreement, operation
agreement and other agreement, including without limitation those relating to
any Project or Turbine or any part thereof, and amendments and supplements to
the foregoing, included in the Collateral, as they are entered into by Owner
promptly upon the execution thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no such future lease, construction agreement, operation
agreement or other material agreement may be entered into by Owner except as
permitted under the Credit Documents.

         2.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Owner
shall remain liable under each of the Assigned Agreements to perform all of the
obligations undertaken by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to
the terms and provisions thereof, and Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation or liability under any of such

                                       3
<PAGE>   398
Assigned Agreements by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall
Administrative Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or
fulfill any obligations of Owner thereunder or to make any payment or inquiry as
to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file
any claim or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts
which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time.

         2.4 If any default by Owner under any of the Assigned Agreements shall
occur and be continuing, then Administrative Agent shall, at its option and
after the expiration of the applicable cure periods under Section 8.1.7 of the
Credit Agreement, be permitted (but shall not be obligated) to remedy any such
default by giving written notice of such intent to Owner and to the parties to
the Assigned Agreement or Assigned Agreements for which Administrative Agent
intends to remedy the default. After giving such notice of its intent to cure
such default and upon the commencement thereof, Administrative Agent will
proceed diligently to cure such default. Any cure by Administrative Agent of
Owner's default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as
an assumption by Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of any obligations,
covenants or agreements of Owner under such Assigned Agreement, and neither
Administrative Agent nor any of the Banks shall be liable to Owner or any other
Person as a result of any actions undertaken by Administrative Agent in curing
or attempting to cure any such default, except as set forth in Section 12.13 of
the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed to release or to affect
in any way the obligations of Owner under the Assigned Agreements.

     3. OBLIGATIONS SECURED. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
this Agreement and all of the Collateral secure the payment and performance when
due of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of each of the
Portfolio Entities (including Owner) under the Credit Documents, including
Borrower's Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents
to which Borrower is a party to the Administrative Agent and the Banks (the
"Obligations"); provided, however, the Obligations as defined in this Section 3
shall not include any Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of any
Portfolio Entity under the Credit Documents relating to or arising from Projects
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) that have achieved Operation prior to the
effective date of this Agreement.

     4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF OWNER. Owner represents and warrants
as of the date hereof as follows:

         4.1 Owner has not assigned any of its rights under the Assigned
Agreements except as provided in the Credit Documents.

         4.2 Owner has not executed and is not aware of any effective financing
statement, security agreement or other instrument similar in effect covering all
or any part of the Collateral, except such as may have been filed pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or pursuant to the documents
evidencing Permitted Liens.

         4.3 Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Owner is lawfully
possessed of ownership of the Collateral and has full right, title and interest
in and to all rights purported to be granted to it under the Assigned
Agreements, not subject to any mortgages, liens, charges, or

                                       4
<PAGE>   399
encumbrances except Permitted Liens. Owner has full power and lawful authority
to grant and assign the Collateral hereunder.

     5. COVENANTS OF OWNER. Owner covenants as follows:

         5.1 Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any Assigned
Agreement may be taken by Administrative Agent either in Owner's name or in
Administrative Agent's name, as Administrative Agent may deem necessary.

         5.2 Owner will, so long as any Obligations shall be outstanding,
warrant and defend its title to the Collateral and the interest of
Administrative Agent in the Collateral against any claim or demand of any
persons (other than Permitted Liens) which could reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect Owner's title to, or Administrative Agent's right or
interest in, such Collateral.

         5.3 Owner will at all times keep accurate and complete records of the
Collateral. Owner shall permit representatives of Administrative Agent upon
reasonable prior notice, and in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Credit
Agreement, at any time during normal business hours of Owner to inspect and make
abstracts from Owner's books and records pertaining to the Collateral. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at
Administrative Agent's request, Owner shall promptly deliver copies of any and
all such records to Administrative Agent.

         5.4 Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, Owner shall give
Administrative Agent at least 45 days' notice before it changes the location of
its principal place of business, chief executive office or state of organization
and shall at the expense of Owner execute and deliver such instruments and
documents as may reasonably be required by Administrative Agent to maintain a
prior perfected security interest in the Collateral.

     6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement, whatever the reason therefor and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law, or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body, shall constitute an event of default
hereunder (an "Event of Default").

     7. REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

         7.1 If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Administrative Agent may (a) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in
it by this Agreement, including but not limited to, the right to cause all
revenues pledged hereby as security and all other moneys pledged hereunder to be
paid directly to it, and to enforce its rights hereunder to such payments and
all other rights hereunder by such appropriate judicial proceedings as it shall
deem most effective to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or
in equity or otherwise, whether for specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in any of the Assigned Agreements, or in aid of the exercise
of any power therein or herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and
sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding, or to

                                       5
<PAGE>   400
enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by
law; (b) cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be
instituted and prosecuted to collect or enforce any Obligations or rights
hereunder or included in the Collateral, or to foreclose or enforce any other
agreement or other instrument by or under or pursuant to which such Obligations
are issued or secured, subject in each case to the provisions and requirements
thereof; (c) sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral or cause
the Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of in one or more sales or
transactions, at such prices and in such manner as Administrative Agent may deem
commercially reasonable, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery,
without assumption of any credit risk at any broker's board or at public or
private sale, with or without a warranty of title, without demand of performance
or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale (except such notice
as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), it being agreed that
Administrative Agent may be a purchaser on behalf of the Banks or on its own
behalf at any such sale and that Administrative Agent, any Bank, or any other
Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value and without notice of any
claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the same
absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity
of redemption, of Owner, any such demand, notice or right and equity being
hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by law; (d) incur
reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable
consultants' fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or
power under this Agreement; (e) perform any obligation of Owner hereunder or
under any other Credit Document, and make payments, purchase, contest or
compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien, and pay taxes and expenses without,
however, any obligation to do so; (f) in connection with any acceleration and
foreclosure, take possession of the Collateral and render it usable and repair
and renovate the same without, however, any obligation to do so, and enter upon
any Site or any other location where the same may be located for that purpose,
control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral, either separately or in
conjunction with a Project, collect all rents and income from the Collateral and
apply the same to reimburse the Banks for any cost or expenses incurred
hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents and to the payment or performance
of Owner's obligations hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, and apply
the balance to the Loans of Borrower as provided for in the Credit Agreement and
any remaining excess balance to whomsoever is legally entitled thereto; (g)
secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof; or
(h) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies granted to a secured
party under the UCC. If pursuant to applicable law prior notice of any such
action is required to be given to Owner, Owner hereby acknowledges that the
minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum time is
specified, 10 Banking Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period.

         7.2 All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any such
suit or proceeding or in connection with the performance by Administrative Agent
of any of Owner's agreements contained in any of the Assigned Agreements or any
exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law)
computed at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate from the date on which
such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof, shall
constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be paid
by Owner to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks on demand.

     8. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY NOT WAIVER.

         8.1 No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Administrative
Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several
consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial
proceedings, or both.

         8.2 No delay or omission of Administrative Agent to exercise any right
or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and
every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Administrative Agent.

     9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other realization upon,
all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs
and expenses incurred by and due and owing to Administrative Agent and the Banks
under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the Collateral
Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including
any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have
accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amounts of the Obligations
outstanding; fourth, to any other Obligations of Owner owing to Administrative
Agent or the Banks; and fifth, to, or as directed by, Owner.

     10. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Owner hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative
Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the Banks and each successor or
assign of Administrative Agent and the Banks, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Owner, with full power and authority in the place and stead
of Owner and in the name of Owner, Administrative Agent or otherwise to enforce
all rights, interests and remedies of Owner with respect to the Collateral,
including, without limitation, the right:

         10.1 to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and
all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of
the Assigned Agreements or any of the other Collateral, including without
limitation, any insurance policies;

         10.2 to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith;

         10.3 to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
in connection therewith which Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be
necessary or advisable;


                                       7
<PAGE>   402
         10.4 to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or
become liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to Administrative
Agent has been provided; and

         10.5 upon foreclosure and to the extent provided in the Consents, to do
any and every act which Owner may do on its behalf with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of Owner's rights and
remedies under any or all of the Assigned Agreements;

provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not exercise any such rights
except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power
of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

     11. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if Owner fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Administrative Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations.

     12. PERFECTION; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         12.1 Owner agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Owner,
Owner shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take
all action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security
interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Administrative
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner shall
(a) with respect to the Project/Turbine Owner Portfolio Entity Notes and any
other Collateral evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument in excess of
$5,000, deliver and pledge to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks
such note duly endorsed without recourse, and accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to
Administrative Agent; and (b) execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable or as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect
and preserve the assignments and security interests granted or purported to be
granted hereby.

         12.2 Owner hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or
any part of the Collateral without the signature of Owner where permitted by
law.

         12.3 Owner shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees and
all refiling, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses
incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance,
and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes,
duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in

                                       8
<PAGE>   403
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement
supplemental hereto, any financing statements, and any instruments of further
assurance.

         12.4 Owner shall, promptly upon request, provide to Administrative
Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the
Collateral to enable Administrative Agent to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.

     13. PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF RECORDS. Unless Administrative Agent is
otherwise notified under Section 5.4, the place of business and chief executive
office of Owner is, and all records of Owner concerning the Collateral are and
will be, located at the address set forth in Schedule 4.24 to the Credit
Agreement and Owner is, and will be, a limited liability company organized under
the laws of the state of Delaware.

     14. CONTINUING ASSIGNMENT AND SECURITY INTEREST. This Agreement shall
create a continuing assignment of, and security interest in, the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the
Obligations, (b) be binding upon Owner, its successors and assigns; provided,
however, that the obligations of Owner, its successors and assigns hereunder may
not be assigned without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent; and
(c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, to the
benefit of Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent or any of the
Banks may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of or interest in the
Notes and the other Credit Documents or other evidence of indebtedness held by
them to any other Person to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Banks
herein or otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the
Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by
Administrative Agent to any security it may have in any order it may deem
appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any person on the indebtedness
secured hereby. If this Agreement shall be terminated or revoked by operation of
law, Owner will indemnify and save Administrative Agent and the Banks harmless
from any loss which may be suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent and the
Banks in acting hereunder prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent, its
successors, transferees, or assigns of notice of such termination or revocation.

     15. TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Upon the indefeasible payment in full
of the Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Owner. Upon any such termination,
Administrative Agent will, at Owner's expense, execute and, subject to Section
21 hereof, deliver to Owner such documents (including, without limitation, UCC-3
termination statements) as Owner shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.

     16. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event any legal action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, any of the remedies provided for herein or at
law) is commenced to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any provision
thereof, unless Owner is the prevailing party, Owner shall indemnify each of
Administrative Agent and the Banks for their reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses incurred therein, and if a judgment or award is entered
in any such

                                       9
<PAGE>   404
action or proceeding, such reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses may be made a part of such judgment or award.

     17. LIABILITY. Recourse against the Owner, the other Portfolio Entities,
the Member and their respective Affiliates, members, partners, stockholders,
officers, directors and employees under this Agreement shall be limited to the
extent provided in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement.

     18. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; CONSENTS. No amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by
Owner therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence
of Administrative Agent and the Owner.

     19. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under the terms and
provisions hereof shall be in writing and any such notice shall be effective if
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Notices to Owner may be given at the address of Borrower set forth in such
Section 12.1.

     20. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, including all matters of construction,
validity, performance and the creation, validity, enforcement or priority of the
lien of, and security interests created by, this Agreement in or upon the
Collateral shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York, without
reference to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law), except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except
to the extent that the validity or perfection of the lien and security interest
hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are
governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of New York.

     21. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by
Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation of Owner or any general partner of Owner
or upon the dissolution of, or appointment of any intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar official for, Owner or any general partner of Owner or any
substantial part of Owner's or any of its general partners' assets, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     22. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if
any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect
only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall
not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or
any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

     23. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. All agreements, representations and warranties
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans and extensions of credit
thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the
contrary, the agreements, representations and warranties of

                                       10
<PAGE>   405
Owner set forth herein shall terminate only upon payment of the Obligations, and
the termination of all Commitments and other obligations of the Banks under the
Credit Documents.

     24. HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

     25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with any other agreement
executed in connection herewith, is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and is intended as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions thereof.

     26. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

     27. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.

     28. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. OWNER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG OWNER AND
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. OWNER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED
FUTURE DEALINGS. OWNER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT
THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

     29. ADDITIONAL WAIVERS. Owner hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and
remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to
assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the Banks to proceed
against any Portfolio Entity or any other Person or to proceed against or
exhaust any security held by Administrative Agent or the Banks at any time or to
pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent's or the Banks' power before
proceeding against Owner, (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the
incapacity, lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination
or disability of any Portfolio Entity or any other Person or the failure of
Administrative Agent or the Banks to file or enforce a claim against the estate
(in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any Portfolio Entity
or any other Person, (c) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind,
including without limitation notice of the existence, creation or incurring of
any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action
on the part of any Portfolio Entity, Administrative Agent, the Banks, any
endorser or creditor of the foregoing or on the part of any other Person

                                       11
<PAGE>   406
under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence
of indebtedness held by Administrative Agent or the Banks as collateral or in
connection with any Obligations, (d) any defense based upon an election of
remedies by Administrative Agent or the Banks, including without limitation an
election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which
destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Owner, the right of
Owner to proceed against a Portfolio Entity or another Person for reimbursement,
or both, (e) any defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be
owed by any Person to Owner for any reason whatsoever, (f) any defense based on
any act, failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of a Portfolio
Entity of the failure by a Portfolio Entity to do any act or thing or to observe
or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by
it under the Credit Documents, (g) any defense based upon any statute or rule of
law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in
amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal
provided, that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, this Agreement shall no
longer be of any force or effect, (h) any defense, setoff or counterclaim which
may at any time be available to or asserted by a Portfolio Entity against
Administrative Agent, the Banks or any other Person under the Credit Documents,
(i) any duty on the part of Administrative Agent or the Banks to disclose to
Owner any facts Administrative Agent or the Banks may now or hereafter know
about any Portfolio Entity, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or the
Banks have reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk
beyond that which Owner intends to assume, or have reason to believe that such
facts are unknown to Owner, or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such
facts to Owner, since Owner acknowledges that Owner is fully responsible for
being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Portfolio Entities
and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any obligations
and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact that any Portfolio Entity may at
any time in the future dispose of all or part of its direct or indirect interest
in any other Portfolio Entity, (k) any defense based on any change in the time,
manner or place of any payment under, or in any other term of, the Credit
Documents or any other amendment, renewal, extension, acceleration, compromise
or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms of the Credit Documents,
(l) any defense arising because of Administrative Agent's or the Banks'
election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and (m) any
defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section
364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

                                   ARTICLE 2

                        Appointment of Depositary Agent;
                            Establishment of Accounts

         Section 2.1 Appointment of Depositary Agent. Depositary Agent is hereby
appointed by Borrower and by Administrative Agent as depositary agent hereunder,
and Depositary Agent hereby agrees to act as such and to accept all cash,
payments, other amounts and Permitted Investments to be delivered to or held by
Depositary Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Depositary Agent shall
hold and safeguard the Accounts (and the cash, instruments and securities on
deposit therein) during the term of this Agreement and shall treat the cash,
instruments, and securities in the Accounts as funds, instruments and securities
pledged by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Banks, to be held by Depositary Agent, as agent of Administrative Agent, in
trust in accordance with the provisions hereof.

         Section 2.2 Security Interest; Control. In order to secure the
performance by Borrower of all of its covenants, agreements and obligations
under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment and
performance by Borrower of all Obligations, this Agreement is intended to
create, and Borrower hereby pledges to and creates in favor of Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, a security interest in and to, the
Accounts, all cash, cash equivalents, instruments, investments and other
securities at any time on deposit in the Accounts, and all proceeds of any of
the foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral"). All moneys, cash equivalents,
instruments, investments and securities at any time on deposit in any of the
Accounts shall constitute collateral security for the payment and performance by
Borrower of the Obligations, and shall at all times be subject to the control of
Administrative Agent, acting through Depositary Agent in respect of the Accounts
and shall be held in the custody of Depositary Agent in trust for the purposes
of, and on the terms set forth in, this Agreement.

         Section 2.3 Accounts Maintained as UCC "Securities Accounts."
Depositary Agent hereby agrees and confirms that it has established the Accounts
as set forth and defined in this Agreement. Each of Depositary Agent and
Borrower agrees that (i) Depositary Agent is acting as "securities intermediary"
(within the meaning of Section 8-102(14) of the UCC) with respect to the
Accounts and the "financial assets" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9)
of the UCC, the "Financial Assets") credited to the Accounts; (ii) each such
Account established by Depositary Agent is and will be maintained as a
"securities account" (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC); (iii)
Borrower is an "entitlement holder" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7)
of the UCC) in respect of the Financial Assets credited to such Accounts and
with respect to such Accounts and Depositary Agent shall so note in its records
pertaining to such Financial Assets and Accounts; and (iv) all Financial Assets
in registered form or payable to or to order of and credited to any such Account
shall be registered in the name of, payable to or to the order of, or specially
endorsed to, Depositary Agent or in blank, or credited to another securities
account maintained in the name of Depositary Agent, and in no case will any
Financial

                                       3
<PAGE>   414
Asset credited to any such Account be registered in the name of, payable to or
to the order of, or endorsed to, Borrower except to the extent the foregoing
have been subsequently endorsed by Borrower to Depositary Agent or in blank.
Each item of property (including a security, security entitlement, investment
property, instrument or obligation, share, participation, interest or other
property whatsoever) credited to any Account shall be treated as a Financial
Asset. Until this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof,
Administrative Agent shall have "control" (within the meaning of Section
8-106(d)(2) of the UCC) of Borrower's "security entitlements" (within the
meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC, "Security Entitlements") with
respect to the Accounts and the Financial Assets credited to the Accounts. All
property delivered to Depositary Agent pursuant to this Agreement will be
promptly credited to the Accounts and shall be treated as Financial Assets. If
at any time Depositary Agent shall receive from Administrative Agent any
"entitlement order" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(8) of the UCC, an
"Entitlement Order") relating to the Accounts or Financial Assets credited to
the Accounts, Depositary Agent shall comply with such Entitlement Order without
further consent by Borrower or any other Person. In the event that Depositary
Agent receives conflicting Entitlement Orders relating to the Accounts or
Financial Assets credited to the Accounts from Administrative Agent and any
other Person (including, without limitation, Borrower), Depositary Agent shall
comply with the Entitlement Orders originated by Administrative Agent. Each of
Borrower and Depositary Agent agrees that it has not and will not execute and
deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement under which it agrees with
any Person other than Administrative Agent to comply with Entitlement Orders
originated by such Person relating to the Accounts or Financial Assets credited
to the Accounts. Except for the claims and interests of Administrative Agent and
Borrower in the Accounts and the Financial Assets credited to the Accounts,
neither Depositary Agent nor Borrower knows of any claim to, or interest in, any
Account or Financial Assets credited to the Accounts. If either Depositary Agent
or Borrower obtains knowledge that any Person has asserted a lien, encumbrance
or adverse claim against any or the Accounts or Financial Assets credited to the
Accounts, such party will promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof. In the
event that the Depositary Agent has or subsequently obtains by agreement,
operation of law or otherwise a Lien or security interest in any Account, any
Security Entitlement carried therein or credited thereto or any Financial Asset
that is the subject of any such Security Entitlement, Depositary Agent agrees
that such Lien or security interest shall be subordinate to the Lien and
security interest of the Administrative Agent. The Financial Assets standing to
the credit of the Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's
lien or any other right, and Depositary Agent shall not grant, permit or consent
to any other right or interest in such Financial Assets, in favor of any Person
(including the Depositary Agent) other than Administrative Agent.

         Section 2.4 Borrower's Rights. Borrower shall not have any rights or
powers with respect to any amounts in the Accounts or any part thereof except
(i) as provided in Article 5 hereof and (ii) the right to have such amounts
applied in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Credit Agreement.

         Section 2.5 Creation of Accounts. Depositary Agent hereby establishes
at its office located in New York, New York, the following special, segregated
and irrevocable money collateral accounts and sub-accounts within such accounts
which shall be maintained at all times

                                   Investment

Section 5.1 Permitted Investments. Depositary Agent shall invest any money held
in any Account in such Permitted Investments as directed in writing by Borrower
from time to time (or, if Administrative Agent shall have notified Depositary
Agent that Administrative Agent is exercising its power of attorney to direct
investments, by and at the discretion of Administrative Agent). In the event
that Depositary Agent has not received any such written directions, Depositary
Agent shall invest all available funds in a money market mutual fund selected by
Borrower. Any income or gain realized as a result of any such investment shall
be held as part of the applicable Account and reinvested as provided in this
Agreement until released in compliance with Article 4. Any income tax payable on
account of any such income or gain shall be paid by Borrower. Depositary Agent
shall have no liability for any loss resulting from any such investment other
than solely by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence or bad faith
or from failure to exercise such care in the custody of any such investments as
it does for accounts held by other customers or in the custody of its own
investments. Any such investment may be sold (without regard to maturity date)
by Depositary Agent whenever necessary to make any distribution required by this
Agreement. In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
any investment shall be liquidated and sold by Depositary Agent if so directed
in writing by Administrative Agent.

refraining from acting upon any written notice, certificate, instruction,

the Depositary Agent Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, actions
and suits of others arising out of the terms of this Agreement or the compliance

claims, actions or suits arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Depositary Agent Indemnitee, and from and against any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and other expenses of
every nature and character arising by reason of the same. The provisions of this
Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of Depositary Agent. All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be
made without setoff or counterclaim.

         Section 8.2 Waiver of Right of Set-Off. Depositary Agent waives, with

<PAGE>   434


        1. Guaranty

               (a) The undersigned Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely
as surety, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Banks (i) the
performance, when due, of the obligations of Borrower under Section 5.14 of the
Credit Agreement to achieve Completion of each of the Initial Projects and the
Funded Subsequent Projects (including with respect to any partially owned
Projects), (ii) the payment, when due, of the obligations of Borrower under
Section 5.17.1, 5.17.2 and 5.17.3(x) of the Credit Agreement and (iii) if
Borrower is unable to obtain a disbursement of Loan proceeds under the Credit
Agreement for any Project for which the requirements of Section 5.14 of the
Credit Agreement have not been waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement for a period of 60 consecutive days after a request for the same
pursuant to a Drawdown Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.4 of the
Credit Agreement, the prompt payment, when due, of the Project Costs for which
funds were requested in such Drawdown Certificate, in each case together with
the payment of all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or the Banks in
enforcing any of such obligations and liabilities or the terms hereof,
including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel
(collectively, the "Obligations"), and agrees that if for any reason Borrower
shall fail to pay or perform, as the case may be, when due any of such
Obligations, Guarantor will pay or perform, as the case may be, the same
forthwith; provide however, if the default giving rise to the potential exercise
of remedies is susceptible of cure and the failure to so exercise remedies could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower,
Administrative Agent and the Banks shall not exercise any remedies in the nature
of foreclosure on or sale of any Collateral, appointment of a receiver, entry
into possession of any Project or other remedies under the Credit Documents
intended to or having the effect of depriving Borrower or any other Portfolio
Entity of the use, possession or enjoyment of any of the Projects as a result of
an Event of Default thereunder for 90 days so long as Guarantor is diligently
pursuing performance of the Obligations and/or diligently attempting to
refinance all outstanding Loans under the Credit Agreement; provided, further,
that if the Obligations under clause (ii) above have been performed, Guarantor's
liability with respect to the Obligations under clause (i) above shall be
limited to the excess of the cost of achieving Completion of the applicable
Projects over the amounts deposited or contributed pursuant to Section 5.17.3 of
the Credit Agreement. Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and
of any obligation to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof, and
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment or performance, notice of
dishonor or non-payment or non-performance, protest, notice of protest, of any
such obligations, suit or taking other action by the Banks against, and giving
any notice of default or other notice to, or making any demand on, any party
liable thereon (including Guarantor).

               (b) This Guaranty is a primary obligation of Guarantor and is an
absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of payment and
performance, as the case may be, of the Obligations and not of collectibility,
and is in no way conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt to enforce in
whole or in part Borrower's or any other Portfolio Entity's liabilities and
obligations to the Banks. If Borrower shall fail to pay or perform, as the case
may be, any of the Obligations to the Banks as and when they are due, Guarantor
shall forthwith pay or perform, as the case may be, such Obligations immediately
(in the case of payment obligations, in immediately available funds). Each
failure by Borrower to pay or perform, as the case may be, any Obligations shall
give rise to a separate cause of action herewith, and separate suits may be
brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

               (c) The Banks may, at any time and from time to time (whether or
not after revocation or termination of this Guaranty) without the consent of or
notice to Guarantor, except such notice as may be required by the Credit
Documents or applicable law which cannot be waived, without incurring
responsibility to Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of
Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in
part, (i) change the manner, place and terms of payment or performance or change
or extend the time of payment or performance of, or renew or alter, any
Obligation, or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those
hereunder)

                                       2
<PAGE>   435

incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof or in any manner
modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Credit Documents (including
provisions with respect to the Completion of the Projects), any documents,
instruments or agreements executed in connection therewith, in each case with
the consent of Borrower or such other relevant Portfolio Entity, if required by
the Credit Documents, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the
Obligations changed, extended, renewed, modified, amended, supplemented or
altered in any manner, (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against Borrower, any other Portfolio Entity or others (including Guarantor) or
otherwise act or refrain from acting; (iii) add or release any other guarantor
from its obligations without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder, (iv) settle or compromise any Obligations and/or any obligations and
liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment or performance of
all or any part thereof to the payment or performance of any obligations and
liabilities which may be due to the Banks or others; (v) sell, exchange,
release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner or in any
order any property by whomsoever pledged or mortgaged to secure or howsoever
securing the Obligations or any liabilities or obligations (including any of
those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof
and/or any offset thereagainst; (vi) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or
howsoever realized to any obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other
Portfolio Entity to the Banks under the Credit Documents in the manner provided
therein regardless of what obligations and liabilities remain unpaid; (vii)
consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, the
Credit Documents (including provisions with respect to the Completion of the
Projects) or otherwise amend, modify or supplement (with the consent of Borrower
or such other relevant Portfolio Entity, if required by the Credit Documents)
the Credit Documents (including provisions with respect to the Completion of the
Projects) or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or (viii) act or
fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive
Guarantor of its right to subrogation against Borrower to recover full indemnity
for any payments or performances made pursuant to this Guaranty or of its right
of contribution against any other party.

               (d) No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the
obligations or liabilities hereby guaranteed shall affect, impair or be a
defense to this Guaranty, which is a primary obligation of Guarantor.

               (e) This is a continuing Guaranty and all obligations to which it
applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to
have been created in reliance hereon. In the event that, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 1(a) hereof, this Guaranty shall be deemed revocable in
accordance with applicable law, then any such revocation shall become effective
only upon receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice of revocation signed
by Guarantor. No revocation or termination hereof shall affect in any manner
rights arising under this Guaranty with respect to Obligations arising prior to
receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice of such revocation or
termination.

               (f) (i) Except as otherwise required by law, each payment
required to be made by Guarantor to the Banks hereunder shall be made without
deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If such deduction or
withholding is so required, Guarantor shall, upon notice thereof from
Administrative Agent, (A) pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to
the appropriate authorities before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues
thereon, (B) on or before the 60th day after payment of such amount, forward to
the Banks an official receipt evidencing such payment (or a certified copy
thereof), and (C) in the case of any such deduction or withholding, forthwith
pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks such additional amount
as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Banks
is free and clear of such Taxes, including any Taxes on such additional amount,
is equal to the amount that the Banks would have received had there been no such
deduction or withholding.

                                       3
<PAGE>   436


                      (ii) As used herein, the term "Tax" means any present or
future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature
(including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by any
government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this
Guaranty other than (A) any income, franchise or similar tax imposed upon the
gross or net income of Administrative Agent or any Bank by the United States,
New York State, any jurisdiction where Administrative Agent or any Bank is
organized and/or the jurisdiction in which is located any office from or at
which Administrative Agent or any Bank is making or maintaining any Loans or
receiving any payments under any of the Credit Documents and (B) any stamp,
registration, documentation or similar tax.

               (g) In fulfilling its obligations hereunder with respect to the
Obligations set forth in Section 1(a)(i) hereof, but subject to the provisions
of Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees, promises and agrees to perform and comply with
Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement. The words "perform and comply with" are
used in their most comprehensive sense and include without limitation (i) the
payment of all costs and expenses with respect to the construction of the
Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects and the construction of such
Projects within the time and in the manner set forth in Section 5.14 of the
Credit Agreement, (ii) the payment, satisfaction or discharge of all Liens
(other than Permitted Liens other than the Liens described in clause (c) of the
definition of "Permitted Liens") arising out of or relating to the construction
and Completion of, and that are or may be imposed upon or asserted against, the
Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects and (iii) the defense and
indemnification of the Banks against all such Liens, whether arising from the
furnishing of labor, materials, supplies or equipment, from taxes, assessments,
fees or other charges, from injuries or damage to persons or property, or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor agrees
(A) to cause any and all costs of achieving Completion of each of the Initial
Projects and the Funded Subsequent Projects, including without limitation the
costs of all labor, materials, supplies and equipment related thereto and any
and all costs and cost overruns prior to such Completion, to be funded, paid and
satisfied from Guarantor's own resources as the same shall become due and (B) to
cause the Completion of each of the Initial Projects and the Funded Subsequent
Projects, using Guarantor's own resources, in a timely, good and workmanlike
manner, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents; provided however.
that Guarantor shall not be required to pay any performance and/or other
liquidated damages due and owing from a Contractor (other than a Contractor that
is an Affiliate of Guarantor) under a Construction Contract; provided further,
Guarantor's liability with respect to such liquidated damages shall be limited
to the amount specified in clause (vi)(B) of the definition of "Completion" less
the amount of any such liquidated damages determined to be due and owing from
any applicable Contractors.

        2. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor makes the representations
and warranties set forth below to Administrative Agent and the Banks as of the

does not intend to incur, or believe it is incurring, obligations beyond its

relating to the incurrence of debt to which it is a party.

        3. Covenants. So long as any Obligations are outstanding, Guarantor

governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained by it with
respect to this Guaranty and will obtain any that may become necessary in the

<PAGE>   438

               (b) It will comply in all material respects with all applicable
laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply would
materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this Guaranty;

               (c) Promptly, and in any event within 30 Banking Days after the
General Counsel of Guarantor obtains knowledge thereof, Guarantor will give to
Administrative Agent notice of the occurrence of any event or of any litigation
or governmental proceeding pending (i) against Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates which could affect the business, operations, property, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor so as to materially and
adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder
or (ii) with respect to this Guaranty, which event or pending proceeding is
likely to materially and adversely affect the business, operations, property,
assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor and its Affiliates
taken as a whole;

               (d) It will deliver such other documents and other information
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent;

               (e) It will comply in all material respects with its certificate
of incorporation;

               (f) Guarantor will not permit its:

plus (B) 50% of the consolidated net income of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries
(without giving effect to any losses) for each Fiscal Quarter ending on or after
September 30, 2000, plus (C) 100% of the Net Equity Proceeds from any equity
offering by Guarantor after June 30, 2000;

                      (ii) Leverage Ratio to be greater than .85 to 1.00 as of

of any Fiscal Quarter to be less than 1.60 to 1.00 for the 12 month period
comprising the four previous Fiscal Quarters.

Guarantor shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to Administrative Agent
as soon as possible and in any event within 60 days after the end of each of the
first three Fiscal Quarters of each Fiscal Year and within 120 days after the
end of each Fiscal Year, a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer of
Guarantor, showing (in reasonable detail and with appropriate calculations and
computations in all respects reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent)
compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 3(f).

Capitalized terms used in this Section 3(f) and defined in Appendix A attached
hereto shall have the meanings given therein.

        4. Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and
remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to
assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the Banks to proceed
against Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any
security held by Administrative Agent or the Banks at any time or to pursue any
other remedy in Administrative Agent's or the Banks' power before proceeding
against Guarantor, (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity,
lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination or
disability

                                       6
<PAGE>   439


of Borrower or any other Person or the failure of Administrative Agent or the
Banks to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration,
bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Borrower or any other Person, (c) demand,
presentment, protest and notice of any kind except as provided herein, including
without limitation notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or
additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part
of Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Banks, any endorser or creditor of
Borrower or Guarantor or on the part of any other Person under this or any other
instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by
Administrative Agent or the Banks as collateral or in connection with any
Obligations, (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by
Administrative Agent or the Banks, including without limitation an election to
proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or
otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor, the right of Guarantor to
proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, or both, (e) any defense based on
any offset against any amounts which may be owed by any Person to Guarantor for
any reason whatsoever, (f) any defense based on any act, failure to act, delay
or omission whatsoever on the part of Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity of
the failure by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity to do any act or thing or
to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or
performed by it under the Credit Documents, (g) any defense based upon any
statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal provided, that, upon payment or performance in full of the
Obligations, this Guaranty shall no longer be of any force or effect, (h) any
defense, setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or
asserted by Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity against Administrative Agent,
the Banks or any other Person under the Credit Documents, (i) any duty on the
part of Administrative Agent or the Banks to disclose to Guarantor any facts
Administrative Agent or the Banks may now or hereafter know about Borrower or
any other Portfolio Entity, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or the
Banks have reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk
beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or have reason to believe that
such facts are unknown to Guarantor, or have a reasonable opportunity to
communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor
is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition
of Borrower and the other Portfolio Entities and of all circumstances bearing on
the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any obligations and liabilities
hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact that Guarantor may at any time in the future

claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity
relating to any indebtedness of Borrower or any other Portfolio Entity to
Guarantor, and hereby assigns to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks all
rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not file any such claim,
Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to
do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Administrative Agent's discretion, to
assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of claim to be filed in the
name of Administrative Agent's nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Administrative Agent or its
nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in any
such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is
entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or
otherwise, the person authorized to pay such a claim shall pay the same to
Administrative Agent to the extent of any Obligations which then remain unpaid,
and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to
Administrative Agent all of Guarantor's rights to all such payments or
distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however,
that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the
extent that Administrative Agent receives cash by reason of any such payment or
distribution. If Administrative Agent receives anything hereunder other than
cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty.

enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to
which it may be entitled at any time.

Credit Agreement, be permitted (but shall not be obligated) to remedy any such
default by giving written notice of such intent to Owner and to the parties to
the Assigned Agreement or Assigned Agreements for which Administrative Agent
intends to remedy the default. After giving such notice of its intent to cure
such default and upon the commencement thereof, Administrative Agent will
proceed diligently to cure such default. Any cure by Administrative Agent of
Owner's default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as
an assumption by Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of any obligations,
covenants or agreements of Owner under such Assigned Agreement, and neither
Administrative Agent nor any of the Banks shall be liable to Owner or any other
Person as a result of any actions undertaken by Administrative Agent in curing
or attempting to cure any such default, except as set forth in Section 12.13 of

agreement contained in any of the Assigned Agreements, or in aid of the exercise

public or private sale, with or without a warranty of title, without demand of
performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale (except
such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), it being
agreed that Administrative Agent may be a purchaser on behalf of the Banks or on
its own behalf at any such sale and that Administrative Agent, any Bank, or any
other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value and without notice of
any claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the

equity of redemption, of Owner, any such demand, notice or right and equity

incur reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable
consultants' fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or
power under this Agreement; (e) perform any obligation of Owner hereunder or
under any other Credit Document, and make payments, purchase, contest or

         7.2 All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any such
suit or proceeding or in connection with the performance by Administrative Agent
of any of Owner's agreements contained in any of the Assigned Agreements or any
exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law)

     8. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY NOT WAIVER.

         8.1 No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Administrative
Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several
consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial
proceedings, or both.

         8.2 No delay or omission of Administrative Agent to exercise any right
or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and
every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Administrative Agent.

     9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other realization upon,

and expenses incurred by and due and owing to Administrative Agent and the Banks
under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the Collateral
Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including
any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have
accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amounts of the Obligations
outstanding; fourth, to any other Obligations of Owner owing to Administrative
Agent or the Banks; and fifth, to, or as directed by, Owner.

     10. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Owner hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative
Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the Banks and each successor or
assign of Administrative Agent and the Banks, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Owner, with full power and authority in the place and stead
of Owner and in the name of Owner, Administrative Agent or otherwise to enforce
all rights, interests and remedies of Owner with respect to the Collateral,
including, without limitation, the right:

         10.1 to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and
all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of
the Assigned Agreements or any of the other Collateral, including without
limitation, any insurance policies;

         10.2 to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith;

         10.3 to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
in connection therewith which Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be
necessary or advisable;


                                       7
<PAGE>   457
         10.4 to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or
become liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to Administrative
Agent has been provided; and

         10.5 upon foreclosure and to the extent provided in the Consents, to do
any and every act which Owner may do on its behalf with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of Owner's rights and
remedies under any or all of the Assigned Agreements;

provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not exercise any such rights
except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power
of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

     11. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if Owner fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Administrative Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations.

     12. PERFECTION; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         12.1 Owner agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Owner,
Owner shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take
all action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security
interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Administrative
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner shall
(a) with respect to the Equipment Finance Company Portfolio Entity Notes and any
other Collateral evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument in excess of
$5,000, deliver and pledge to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks
such note duly endorsed without recourse, and accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to
Administrative Agent; and (b) execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable or as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect
and preserve the assignments and security interests granted or purported to be
granted hereby.

         12.2 Owner hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or
any part of the Collateral without the signature of Owner where permitted by
law.

         12.3 Owner shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees and
all refiling, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses
incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance,
and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes,
duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in

                                       8
<PAGE>   458
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement
supplemental hereto, any financing statements, and any instruments of further
assurance.

         12.4 Owner shall, promptly upon request, provide to Administrative
Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the
Collateral to enable Administrative Agent to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.

     13. PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF RECORDS. Unless Administrative Agent is
otherwise notified under Section 5.4, the place of business and chief executive
office of Owner is, and all records of Owner concerning the Collateral are and
will be, located at the address set forth in Schedule 4.24 to the Credit
Agreement and Owner is, and will be, a limited liability company organized under
the laws of the state of Delaware.

     14. CONTINUING ASSIGNMENT AND SECURITY INTEREST. This Agreement shall
create a continuing assignment of, and security interest in, the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the
Obligations, (b) be binding upon Owner, its successors and assigns; provided,
however, that the obligations of Owner, its successors and assigns hereunder may
not be assigned without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent; and
(c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, to the
benefit of Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent or any of the
Banks may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of or interest in the
Notes and the other Credit Documents or other evidence of indebtedness held by
them to any other Person to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Banks
herein or otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the
Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by
Administrative Agent to any security it may have in any order it may deem
appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any person on the indebtedness
secured hereby. If this Agreement shall be terminated or revoked by operation of
law, Owner will indemnify and save Administrative Agent and the Banks harmless
from any loss which may be suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent and the

assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the Banks to proceed

exhaust any security held by Administrative Agent or the Banks at any time or to
pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent's or the Banks' power before
proceeding against Owner, (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the
incapacity, lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination
or disability of any Portfolio Entity or any other Person or the failure of
Administrative Agent or the Banks to file or enforce a claim against the estate
(in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any Portfolio Entity
or any other Person, (c) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind,
including without limitation notice of the existence, creation or incurring of

                                       11
<PAGE>   461

of indebtedness held by Administrative Agent or the Banks as collateral or in
connection with any Obligations, (d) any defense based upon an election of
remedies by Administrative Agent or the Banks, including without limitation an
election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which
destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Owner, the right of
Owner to proceed against a Portfolio Entity or another Person for reimbursement,
or both, (e) any defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be
owed by any Person to Owner for any reason whatsoever, (f) any defense based on
any act, failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of a Portfolio
Entity of the failure by a Portfolio Entity to do any act or thing or to observe
or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by
it under the Credit Documents, (g) any defense based upon any statute or rule of
law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in
amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal
provided, that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, this Agreement shall no
longer be of any force or effect, (h) any defense, setoff or counterclaim which
may at any time be available to or asserted by a Portfolio Entity against
Administrative Agent, the Banks or any other Person under the Credit Documents,
(i) any duty on the part of Administrative Agent or the Banks to disclose to
Owner any facts Administrative Agent or the Banks may now or hereafter know
about any Portfolio Entity, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or the
Banks have reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk
beyond that which Owner intends to assume, or have reason to believe that such
facts are unknown to Owner, or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such
facts to Owner, since Owner acknowledges that Owner is fully responsible for
being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Portfolio Entities
and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any obligations
and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact that any Portfolio Entity may at
any time in the future dispose of all or part of its direct or indirect interest
in any other Portfolio Entity, (k) any defense based on any change in the time,
manner or place of any payment under, or in any other term of, the Credit
Documents or any other amendment, renewal, extension, acceleration, compromise
or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms of the Credit Documents,
(l) any defense arising because of Administrative Agent's or the Banks'
election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and (m) any
defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section
364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

                  2.1.4 the proceeds of all of the foregoing (all of the
collateral described in clauses 2.1.1 through 2.1.4, being herein collectively
referred to as the "Collateral"), including without limitation, (a) all rights
of Owner to receive moneys due and to become due under or pursuant to the

into by Owner promptly upon the execution thereof. Notwithstanding anything to

operation agreement or other material agreement may be entered into by Owner
except as permitted under the Credit Documents.

            2.3   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Owner shall remain liable under each of the Assigned Agreements to perform all

<PAGE>   468
thereunder or to make any payment or inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of

intends to remedy the default. After giving such notice of its intent to cure
such default and upon the commencement thereof, Administrative Agent will
proceed diligently to cure such default. Any cure by Administrative Agent of
Owner's default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as
an assumption by Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of any obligations,
covenants or agreements of Owner under such Assigned Agreement, and neither
Administrative Agent nor any of the Banks shall be liable to Owner or any other
Person as a result of any actions undertaken by Administrative Agent in curing
or attempting to cure any such default, except as set forth in Section 12.13 of

in any way the obligations of Owner under the Assigned Agreements.

      5.    COVENANTS OF OWNER. Owner covenants as follows:

            5.1   Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any
Assigned Agreement may be taken by Administrative Agent either in Owner's name
or in Administrative Agent's name, as Administrative Agent may deem necessary.

            5.2   Owner will, so long as any Obligations shall be outstanding,
warrant and defend its title to the Collateral and the interest of
Administrative Agent in the Collateral against any claim or demand of any
persons (other than Permitted Liens) which could reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect Owner's title to, or Administrative Agent's right or
interest in, such Collateral.

            5.3   Owner will at all times keep accurate and complete records of
the Collateral. Owner shall permit representatives of Administrative Agent upon
reasonable prior notice, and in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Credit
Agreement, at any time during normal business hours of Owner to inspect and make
abstracts from Owner's books and records pertaining to the Collateral. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at
Administrative Agent's request, Owner shall promptly deliver copies of any and
all such records to Administrative Agent.

            5.4   Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, Owner shall
give Administrative Agent at least 45 days' notice before it changes the
location of its principal place of business, chief executive office or state of
organization and shall at the expense of Owner execute and deliver such
instruments and documents as may reasonably be required by Administrative Agent
to maintain a prior perfected security interest in the Collateral.

      6.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement, whatever the reason therefor and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law, or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body, shall constitute an event of default
hereunder (an "Event of Default").

      7.    REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

            7.1   If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Administrative Agent may (a) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in
it by this Agreement, including but not limited to, the right to cause all
revenues pledged hereby as security and all other moneys pledged hereunder to be
paid directly to it, and to enforce its rights hereunder to such payments and
all other rights hereunder by such appropriate judicial proceedings as it shall
deem most effective to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or
in equity or otherwise, whether for specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in any of the Assigned Agreements, or in aid of the exercise
of any power therein or herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and
sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding, or to enforce any
other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law; (b)
cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be instituted
and prosecuted to collect or enforce any Obligations or rights hereunder or
included in the Collateral, or to foreclose or


                                       5
<PAGE>   470
enforce any other agreement or other instrument by or under or pursuant to which
such Obligations are issued or secured, subject in each case to the provisions
and requirements thereof; (c) sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the
Collateral or cause the Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of in one or
more sales or transactions, at such prices and in such manner as Administrative
Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and for cash or on credit or for future
delivery, without assumption of any credit risk at any broker's board or at
public or private sale, with or without a warranty of title, without demand of
performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale (except
such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), it being
agreed that Administrative Agent may be a purchaser on behalf of the Banks or on
its own behalf at any such sale and that Administrative Agent, any Bank, or any
other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value and without notice of
any claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the
same absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any
equity of redemption, of Owner, any such demand, notice or right and equity
being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by law; (d)
incur reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable
consultants' fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or
power under this Agreement; (e) perform any obligation of Owner hereunder or
under any other Credit Document, and make payments, purchase, contest or
compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien, and pay taxes and expenses without,
however, any obligation to do so; (f) in connection with any acceleration and
foreclosure, take possession of the Collateral and render it usable and repair
and renovate the same without, however, any obligation to do so, and enter upon
any Site or any other location where the same may be located for that purpose,
control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral, collect all rents and
income from the Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Banks for any
cost or expenses incurred hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents and to
the payment or performance of Owner's obligations hereunder or under any of the
Credit Documents, and apply the balance to the Loans of Borrower as provided for
in the Credit Agreement and any remaining excess balance to whomsoever is
legally entitled thereto; (g) secure the appointment of a receiver of the
Collateral or any part thereof; or (h) exercise any other or additional rights
or remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC. If pursuant to applicable
law prior notice of any such action is required to be given to Owner, Owner
hereby acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if
no minimum time is specified, 10 Banking Days, shall be deemed a reasonable
notice period.

            7.2   All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection
with any such suit or proceeding or in connection with the performance by
Administrative Agent of any of Owner's agreements contained in any of the
Assigned Agreements or any exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by law) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate
from the date on which such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of
payment thereof, shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this
Agreement and shall be paid by Owner to Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Banks on demand.

      8.    REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY NOT WAIVER.


                                       6
<PAGE>   471
            8.1   No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Administrative
Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several
consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial
proceedings, or both.

            8.2   No delay or omission of Administrative Agent to exercise any
right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein; and every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Administrative
Agent.

      9.    APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to
all fees, costs and expenses incurred by and due and owing to Administrative
Agent and the Banks under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or
the Collateral Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal
amounts of the Obligations outstanding; fourth, to any other Obligations of
Owner owing to Administrative Agent or the Banks; and fifth, to, or as directed
by, Owner.

      10.   ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Owner hereby constitutes and appoints
Administrative Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the Banks and each
successor or assign of Administrative Agent and the Banks, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Owner, with full power and authority in the place and stead
of Owner and in the name of Owner, Administrative Agent or otherwise to enforce
all rights, interests and remedies of Owner with respect to the Collateral,
including, without limitation, the right:

            10.1  to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any
and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out
of the Assigned Agreements or any of the other Collateral, including without
limitation, any insurance policies;

            10.2  to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or
other instruments or orders in connection therewith;

            10.3  to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings in connection therewith which Administrative Agent may reasonably
deem to be necessary or advisable;


                                       7
<PAGE>   472
            10.4  to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be
or become liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral, or
any part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to Administrative
Agent has been provided; and

            10.5  upon foreclosure and to the extent provided in the Consents,
to do any and every act which Owner may do on its behalf with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of Owner's rights and
remedies under any or all of the Assigned Agreements;

provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not exercise any such rights
except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power
of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

      11.   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if Owner fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Administrative Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations.

      12.   PERFECTION; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

            12.1  Owner agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Owner,
Owner shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take
all action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security
interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Administrative
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner shall
(a) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument in excess of $5,000, deliver and pledge to Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Banks such note duly endorsed without recourse, and
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form
and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and (b) execute and deliver
to Administrative Agent such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be
reasonably necessary or desirable or as Administrative Agent may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests
granted or purported to be granted hereby.

            12.2  Owner hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to
all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Owner where permitted
by law.

            12.3  Owner shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees
and all refiling, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable
expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any
assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other
taxes, duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental
hereto, any financing statements, and any instruments of further assurance.


                                       8
<PAGE>   473
            12.4  Owner shall, promptly upon request, provide to Administrative
Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the
Collateral to enable Administrative Agent to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.

      13.   PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF RECORDS. Unless Administrative Agent
is otherwise notified under Section 5.4, the place of business and chief
executive office of Owner is, and all records of Owner concerning the Collateral
are and will be, located at the address set forth in Schedule 4.24 to the Credit
Agreement and Owner is, and will be, a _____________ organized under the laws of
the state of Delaware.

      14.   CONTINUING ASSIGNMENT AND SECURITY INTEREST. This Agreement shall
create a continuing assignment of, and security interest in, the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the
Obligations, (b) be binding upon Owner, its successors and assigns; provided,
however, that the obligations of Owner, its successors and assigns hereunder may
not be assigned without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent; and
(c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, to the
benefit of Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent or any of the
Banks may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of or interest in the
Notes and the other Credit Documents or other evidence of indebtedness held by
them to any other Person to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Banks
herein or otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the
Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by
Administrative Agent to any security it may have in any order it may deem
appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any person on the indebtedness
secured hereby. If this Agreement shall be terminated or revoked by operation of
law, Owner will indemnify and save Administrative Agent and the Banks harmless
from any loss which may be suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent and the
Banks in acting hereunder prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent, its
successors, transferees, or assigns of notice of such termination or revocation.

      15.   TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Upon the indefeasible payment in
full of the Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Owner. Upon any such
termination, Administrative Agent will, at Owner's expense, execute and, subject
to Section 21 hereof, deliver to Owner such documents (including, without
limitation, UCC-3 termination statements) as Owner shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination.

      16.   ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event any legal action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, any of the remedies provided for herein or at
law) is commenced to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any provision
thereof, unless Owner is the prevailing party, Owner shall indemnify each of
Administrative Agent and the Banks for their reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses incurred therein, and if a judgment or award is entered
in any such action or proceeding, such reasonable attorneys' fees and other
costs and expenses may be made a part of such judgment or award.


                                       9
<PAGE>   474
      17.   LIABILITY. Recourse against the Owner, the other Portfolio Entities,
the Member and their respective Affiliates, members, partners, stockholders,
officers, directors and employees under this Agreement shall be limited to the
extent provided in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement.

      18.   AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; CONSENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any
departure by Owner therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the
written concurrence of Administrative Agent and the Owner.

      19.   NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under the terms and
provisions hereof shall be in writing and any such notice shall be effective if
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Notices to Owner may be given at the address of Borrower set forth in such
Section 12.1.

      20.   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, including all matters of
construction, validity, performance and the creation, validity, enforcement or
priority of the lien of, and security interests created by, this Agreement in or
upon the Collateral shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York,
without reference to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York
General Obligations Law), except as required by mandatory provisions of law and
except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the lien and security
interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular
Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of
New York.

      21.   REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by
Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation of Owner or any general partner of Owner
or upon the dissolution of, or appointment of any intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar official for, Owner or any general partner of Owner or any
substantial part of Owner's or any of its general partners' assets, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

      22.   SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if
any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect
only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall
not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or
any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

      23.   SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. All agreements, representations and
warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans and extensions of
credit thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law
to the contrary, the agreements, representations and warranties of Owner set
forth herein shall terminate only upon payment of the Obligations, and the
termination of all Commitments and other obligations of the Banks under the
Credit Documents.


                                       10
<PAGE>   475
      24.   HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

executed in connection herewith, is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and is intended as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions thereof.

      26.   TIME. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

      27.   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.

THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED
UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO
THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG OWNER AND
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. OWNER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED
FUTURE DEALINGS. OWNER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT
THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

      29.   ADDITIONAL WAIVERS. Owner hereby waives and relinquishes all rights
and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not
to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the Banks to proceed
against any Portfolio Entity or any other Person or to proceed against or
exhaust any security held by Administrative Agent or the Banks at any time or to
pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent's or the Banks' power before
proceeding against Owner, (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the
incapacity, lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination
or disability of any Portfolio Entity or any other Person or the failure of
Administrative Agent or the Banks to file or enforce a claim against the estate
(in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any Portfolio Entity
or any other Person, (c) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind,
including without limitation notice of the existence, creation or incurring of
any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action
on the part of any Portfolio Entity, Administrative Agent, the Banks, any
endorser or creditor of the foregoing or on the part of any other Person under
this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of
indebtedness held by Administrative Agent or the Banks as collateral or in
connection with any Obligations, (d) any defense based upon an election of
remedies by Administrative Agent or the Banks,


                                       11
<PAGE>   476
including without limitation an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than
judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights
of Owner, the right of Owner to proceed against a Portfolio Entity or another
Person for reimbursement, or both, (e) any defense based on any offset against
any amounts which may be owed by any Person to Owner for any reason whatsoever,
(f) any defense based on any act, failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever
on the part of a Portfolio Entity of the failure by a Portfolio Entity to do any
act or thing or to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be
observed or performed by it under the Credit Documents, (g) any defense based
upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety
must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that
of the principal provided, that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, this
Agreement shall no longer be of any force or effect, (h) any defense, setoff or
counterclaim which may at any time be available to or asserted by a Portfolio
Entity against Administrative Agent, the Banks or any other Person under the
Credit Documents, (i) any duty on the part of Administrative Agent or the Banks
to disclose to Owner any facts Administrative Agent or the Banks may now or
hereafter know about any Portfolio Entity, regardless of whether Administrative
Agent or the Banks have reason to believe that any such facts materially
increase the risk beyond that which Owner intends to assume, or have reason to
believe that such facts are unknown to Owner, or have a reasonable opportunity
to communicate such facts to Owner, since Owner acknowledges that Owner is fully
responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the
Portfolio Entities and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment
of any obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (j) the fact that any
Portfolio Entity may at any time in the future dispose of all or part of its
direct or indirect interest in any other Portfolio Entity, (k) any defense based
on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment under, or in any other
term of, the Credit Documents or any other amendment, renewal, extension,
acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms
of the Credit Documents, (l) any defense arising because of Administrative
Agent's or the Banks' election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, and (m) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a
security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

limited liability company ("Borrower"), has entered into that certain Credit
Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), dated as of October 16, 2000, by and among
Borrower, the financial institutions listed on Exhibit H thereto (the "Banks"

            B.    Borrower and Junior Claimant have and/or will enter into one

consideration of the granting thereof, the parties hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE>   489
            1.    DEFINITIONS.  All capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Credit Agreement
as in effect on the date hereof.  As used in this Agreement, the following
terms shall have the following respective meanings:

                  "Proceeding" means any (a) insolvency, bankruptcy,
receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other
similar proceeding of or against Borrower, its property or its creditors as
such, (b) proceeding for any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of
Borrower, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings, (c) general assignment for the benefit of creditors of
Borrower or (d) other marshalling of the assets of Borrower.

                  "Senior Claims" means, subject in each case to Sections 3 and
8 hereof, (a) the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Loans
under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any interest accruing
thereon at the legal rate after the commencement of any Proceeding and any
additional interest that would have accrued thereon but for the commencement of
such Proceeding); and (b) all other Obligations of Borrower to any Senior
Claimants, whether now existing or hereafter incurred or created, under or with
respect to the Credit Documents or any replacement, supplement to, or
refinancing of the Loans and other Obligations of the Borrower to any Senior
Claimants permitted under Section 3 hereof.

                  "Subordinated Debt" means all indebtedness owing to Junior
Claimant arising under or in respect of the Subordinated Debt Documents.

                  "Subordinated Debt Documents" means the Subordinated
Agreement, any promissory note or other instrument relating thereto and any
other documents or instruments directly relating to the foregoing (including any
amendments, replacements or substitutions thereof).

            2.    CERTAIN SUBORDINATION TERMS.  Until all Senior Claims shall
have been paid in full and the Senior Claimants' commitments irrevocably
terminated under the Credit Documents, and notwithstanding anything in the
Subordinated Debt Documents to the contrary:

                  2.1   Except as permitted under the Credit Agreement
(including Sections 3.10(b) and 7.2.1(8) thereof), Borrower shall not, directly
or indirectly, make any payment of principal, interest or otherwise on or in
respect of the Subordinated Debt.

                  2.2   Except for the right to demand and accept payments
permitted under the Credit Agreement or as provided in Section 2.1 or 2.5.2 of
this Agreement, Junior Claimant shall not demand, sue for, or accept from
Borrower or any other Person any such payment or collateral, nor take any other
action to enforce or collect upon any such payment or to enforce its rights to
receive any such payment, in either case in respect of the Subordinated Debt,
provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the right or ability of
Junior Claimant (i) to receive payments from Borrower in respect of the
Subordinated Debt as provided in Section 2.1 so long as no Event of Default
under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or


                                       2
<PAGE>   490
(ii) to accelerate the maturity of the Subordinated Debt at any time after the
Loans under the Credit Agreement have been accelerated; and provided further
that in the event that the Senior Claimants rescind the acceleration of the
Loans and provide written notice to Junior Claimant thereof, or the Junior
Claimant otherwise becomes aware of such rescission, Junior Claimant shall
rescind the acceleration of the Subordinated Debt.

                  2.3   Neither Borrower nor the Junior Claimant shall take any
action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the Senior Claimants' priority
position over Junior Claimant created by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any action which will hinder, delay or otherwise prevent the Senior
Claimants from taking any action they deem necessary to enforce rights with
respect to the Senior Claims or the Lien of the Collateral Documents. Junior
Claimant shall not take any action or otherwise act to contest on account of the
Subordinated Debt (i) the validity or priority of any Liens or security
interests granted to, or for the benefit of, the Senior Claimants, (ii) the
relevant rights and duties of the Senior Claimants with respect to the Junior
Claimant on account of any Subordinated Debt as established in this Agreement or
(iii) Senior Claimants' exercise of remedies in accordance with the Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                  2.4   Each document or instrument evidencing Subordinated Debt
shall bear a legend providing that payment of the Subordinated Debt thereunder
has been subordinated to prior payment of the Senior Claims in the manner and to
the extent set forth in this Agreement.

                  2.5   Without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, acting in its sole discretion, Junior Claimant shall not commence or join
with any other creditor or creditors of Borrower in commencing any Proceeding
against Borrower or the Member, but may join in any Proceeding after it has
commenced. At any general meeting of creditors of Borrower or the Member, or in
the event of any Proceeding, if all Senior Claims have not been paid in full at
such time, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Senior Claimants is hereby
irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such Proceeding:

                        2.5.1 To enforce claims comprising Subordinated Debt in
the name of Junior Claimant, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or
otherwise;

                        2.5.2 To collect any assets of Borrower distributed,
divided or applied by way of dividend or payment as a result of a Proceeding, or
such securities issued, on account of Subordinated Debt as a result thereof and
apply the same, or the proceeds of any realization upon the same that the Senior
Claimants in their discretion elect to effect, to Senior Claims until all Senior
Claims shall have been paid in full (the Senior Claimants hereby agreeing to
render any surplus to Junior Claimant and/or other subordinated creditors, as
their interests appear, or to interplead such surplus with a court of competent
jurisdiction); and

                        2.5.3 To take generally any action in connection with
any such meeting or proceeding which Junior Claimant might otherwise take in
respect of the Subordinated Debt and claims relating thereto; provided, however,
that Junior Claimant shall retain, to the exclusion of Senior Claimants and
Administrative Agent, the right to vote claims


                                       3
<PAGE>   491
comprising or arising out of the Subordinated Debt in any Proceeding, including
the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete
liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or
extension.

                  After the commencement of any such Proceeding, Junior Claimant
may inquire in writing of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Senior Claimants
whether the Senior Claimants intend to exercise the foregoing rights with
respect to the Subordinated Debt. Should the Senior Claimants fail, at least 20
days before the deadline therefor, either to file a proof of claim with respect
to the Subordinated Debt and to furnish a copy thereof to the Junior Claimant,
or to inform such Junior Claimant in writing that the Senior Claimants intend to
exercise their rights to assert the Subordinated Debt in the manner hereinabove
provided, Junior Claimant may, but shall not be required to, proceed to file a
proof of claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt and take such further steps
with respect thereto, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as Junior Claimant
may deem proper.

                  2.6   Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, Junior Creditor may, but shall have no obligation to, upon not
less than 10 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, purchase all of
the outstanding Loans and other Obligations of Borrower owing to the Senior
Claimants by irrevocably tendering, in immediately available funds, full payment
of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Senior Claimants:

                        2.6.1 The Purchase Price shall be equal to the total\
amount of Senior Claims at the time of acceleration (assuming such obligations
have been accelerated);

                        2.6.2 Any such purchase by Junior Claimant shall be
without warranty by, or recourse to, the Senior Claimants, except with respect
to the legal and beneficial ownership by the Senior Claimants of the Obligations
so purchased, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; and

                        2.6.3 Concurrently with any such purchase the Senior
Claimants shall forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to Junior Claimant
all of their right, title and interest in and to the Credit Documents and all
Liens and other security interests in favor of the Senior Claimants securing the
obligations of Borrower in connection therewith.

            3.    CREDIT AGREEMENT AND CREDIT DOCUMENTS. Junior Claimant
acknowledges that it has been provided with a copy of the Credit Agreement and
has read and is familiar with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including
without limitation Article 7 thereof. Junior Claimant hereby consents to the
application of Project Revenues in accordance with the Credit Agreement,
including without limitation Article 7 thereof, notwithstanding anything in the
Subordinated Debt Documents to the contrary.

            4.    TIME OF FILING. Notwithstanding the time of filing, attachment
or recording of any document or other instrument, it is agreed by Junior
Claimant that any liens arising under or pursuant to the Collateral Documents
(as defined in the Credit Documents) shall be senior to any liens arising in
favor of Junior Claimant as part of or relating to the


                                       4
<PAGE>   492
Subordinated Debt Documents; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
deemed to permit Junior Claimant to obtain any such liens.

            5.    WRONGFUL COLLECTIONS. Should any payment on account of, or any
collateral for any part of, the Subordinated Debt be received by Junior Claimant
in violation of this Agreement, such payment or collateral shall be delivered
forthwith to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Senior Claimants by the
recipient for application to Senior Claims, in the form received. Administrative
Agent is irrevocably authorized to supply any required endorsement or assignment
which may have been omitted. Until so delivered, any such payment or collateral
shall be held by the recipient in trust for the Senior Claimants and shall not
be commingled with other funds or property of the recipient.

            6.    OWNERSHIP OF SUBORDINATED DEBT; AMENDMENT OF SUBORDINATED
DEBT DOCUMENTS.


                  6.1   Junior Claimant represents and warrants that it is the
lawful owner of the Subordinated Debt and no part thereof has been assigned to
or subordinated or subjected to any other security interest in favor of anyone
other than the Senior Claimants. Junior Claimant agrees that it may not assign
all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt or any of its rights or remedies
under the Subordinated Debt Documents except upon the execution and delivery to
Administrative Agent of an agreement by any such assignee to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement (including provisions relating to assignment), in form
and substance the same as this Agreement, or otherwise as may be reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

                  6.2   Without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent and the Required Banks, the Subordinated Debt Documents may not be amended
so as to have an adverse effect upon the Senior Claims or Borrower's ability to
pay the Senior Claims at any time.

            7.    WAIVERS. Administrative Agent and the Senior Claimants are
hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or
not Borrower shall have complied with the provisions hereof applicable to it, at
any time when Junior Claimant shall have failed to comply with any provision
hereof applicable to it. Junior Claimant hereby irrevocably waives any defense
based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the
remedy of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor by the
Senior Claimants. Junior Claimant (a) further waives presentment, notice and
protest in connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing Senior Claims
or Subordinated Debt to which Junior Claimant may be a party, notice of the
acceptance of this Agreement by the Senior Claimants, notice of any loan made,
extension granted or other action taken in reliance hereon, and all demands and
notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, Senior Claims or time
of payment of Senior Claims or Subordinated Debt and (b) hereby assents to any
renewal, extension or postponement of the time of payment of Senior Claims or
any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any increase in the amount of
Senior Claims, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral therefor
and to the addition or release of any person primarily or secondarily liable
thereon and assents to the provisions of any instrument, security or other
writing evidencing Senior Claims.

            8.    SUBROGATION; NO IMPAIRMENT OF BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject
to and from and after the payment in full of all Senior Claims and the
irrevocable termination of Senior Claimants' commitments under the Credit
Documents, Junior Claimant shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior
Claimants to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities
of Borrower applicable to the Senior Claims until all amounts owing on the
Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the Senior Claimants to which Junior Claimant would
be entitled but for the provisions of this Agreement, and no payments paid over
by Junior Claimant to Senior Claimants pursuant to this Agreement shall, as
among the Borrower, its creditors other than the Senior Claimants, and Junior
Claimant, be deemed to be a payment or distribution on account of the
Subordinated Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement are
intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Junior
Claimant and the Senior Claimants. Nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended to or shall impair, as between Borrower and Junior Claimant, the
obligation of Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to Junior
Claimant the principal of and the premium, if any, and the interest on the
Subordinated Debt, and all other amounts payable by Borrower under the
Subordinated Debt Documents, as and when the same shall become due and payable,
or to affect the relative rights of Junior Claimant and creditors of Borrower
other than the Senior Claimants.

            9.    REINSTATEMENT. The obligations of Junior Claimant under this
Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time any payment in respect of any Senior Claim, or any other payment
to any holder of any Senior Claim in its capacity as such, is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the holder of such Senior Claims upon the
occurrence of any Proceeding, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for,
Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though
such payment had not been made.

            10.   BANKRUPTCY. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect as between the Junior Claimant and Senior Claimant notwithstanding the
occurrence of any Proceeding affecting Borrower.

            11.   FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower and Junior Claimant shall execute
and deliver to the Senior Claimants such further instruments and shall take such
further action as the Senior Claimants may at any time or times reasonably
request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.

            12.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Neither the Junior Claimant nor the Senior
Claimants shall have a duty to preserve rights against prior parties in any
property of any kind received hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall impose
on the Senior Claimants any duties with respect to any property of Borrower or
Junior Claimant received hereunder.

            13.   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
agreement. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by each of the parties
hereto.

            14.   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is intended to take effect as a
sealed instrument, shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
executors, administrators, other legal representatives, successors and assigns,
and shall inure to the benefit of the Senior Claimants, their respective
successors and assigns and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
York without reference to principles of conflict of laws (other than Section
5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). The parties hereto intend and
agree that this Agreement shall remain binding on such parties (other than
Borrower) notwithstanding the termination (except upon the payment in full of
Senior Claims) or unenforceability of this Agreement as against Borrower.

<PAGE>   499

Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which Borrower is a party.

            D.    The Senior Claimants have agreed that Project Owner may enter

this Agreement and Junior Claimant shall subordinate, to the extent and in the
manner hereinafter set forth, all claims and rights in respect of the

forth in this Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and as an inducement
to the Senior Claimants to grant financial accommodations to Borrower, and in
consideration of the granting thereof, the parties hereby agree as follows:

            1.    DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Credit Agreement.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
respective meanings:

                  "Proceeding" means any (a) insolvency, bankruptcy,
receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other
similar proceeding relating to Project Owner, its property or its creditors as
such, (b) proceeding for any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of
Project Owner, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings, (c) assignment for the benefit of creditors of Project
Owner or (d) other marshaling of the assets of Project Owner.

                  "Senior Claims" means (a) the principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest on the Loans under the Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation, any interest accruing thereon at the legal rate after the
commencement of any Proceeding and any additional interest that would have
accrued thereon but for the commencement of such Proceeding) and all other
Obligations of Borrower to any Senior Claimants, whether now existing or
hereafter incurred or created, under or with respect to the Credit Documents and
any related documents; and (b) all of the Obligations of Project Owner to the
Senior Claimants, whether now existing or hereafter incurred or created, under
or with respect to the Credit Documents, including without limitation the
Guaranty, and any related documents.

            2.    CERTAIN SUBORDINATION TERMS. Until all Senior Claims shall
have been paid in full and the Senior Claimants' commitments irrevocably
terminated under the Credit Documents, and notwithstanding anything in either of
the Subordinated Contracts to the contrary:

                  2.1   Junior Claimant acknowledges that, notwithstanding
anything in either of the Subordinated Contracts to the contrary, Project Owner
may pay to Junior Claimant Subordinated O&M Costs due to Junior Claimant with
funds available for distribution by Borrower to Project Owner under Waterfall
Level 6 of Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement only if and to the extent monies
are sufficient for the payment thereof pursuant to such Section 7.2.


                                       2
<PAGE>   500
Except as provided in this Section 2.1, Project Owner shall not, directly or
indirectly, make any payment on or in respect of the Subordinated O&M Costs, and
Project Owner shall not in any event transfer any collateral for any part of,
the Subordinated O&M Costs.

                  2.2   Except for the right to demand and accept payments set
forth in Section 2.1 hereof, Junior Claimant shall not demand, sue for, or
accept directly or indirectly from Project Owner any such payment or collateral,
nor take any other action to enforce or collect upon any such payment or to
enforce its rights, in either case in respect of the Subordinated O&M Costs, nor
set off against obligations owed to Project Owner under either of the
Subordinated Contracts or otherwise against any part of the Subordinated O&M
Costs. Notwithstanding anything in either of the Subordinated Contracts to the
contrary, the failure by Project Owner to pay any Subordinated O&M Costs shall
not under any circumstances, except where the funds are available therefor and
payment is permitted under Section 2.1 hereof, constitute a breach or default
under either of the Subordinated Contracts.

                  2.3   Neither Project Owner nor Junior Claimant shall
otherwise take any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the Senior
Claimants' priority position over Junior Claimant created by this Agreement.

                  2.4   Each negotiable instrument or promissory note evidencing
a Subordinated O&M Cost or a lien, if any, in respect thereof shall bear a
legend (or otherwise include provisions satisfactory to Administrative Agent)
providing that payment of the Subordinated O&M Costs thereunder and the priority
of any such lien have been subordinated to prior payment of the Senior Claims
and the liens in respect thereof in the manner and to the extent set forth in
this Agreement.

                  2.5   Junior Claimant shall not commence or voluntarily permit
Project Owner to commence or join with any other creditor or creditors of
Project Owner in commencing any Proceeding against Project Owner or any other
Portfolio Entity or member or partner thereof; provided that Junior Claimant
shall not be so restricted with respect to claims arising directly out of
Project Owner's failure to perform its obligations or make any payments of O&M
Costs under either of the Subordinated Contracts other than the Subordinated O&M
Costs. At any general meeting of creditors of Project Owner or in the event of
any Proceeding, if all Senior Claims have not been paid in full at such time,
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Senior Claimants is hereby irrevocably
authorized at any such meeting or in any such Proceeding:

                        2.5.1 to enforce claims comprising the Subordinated O&M
Costs in the name of Junior Claimant, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or
otherwise;

                        2.5.2 to collect any assets of Project Owner
distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment as a result of a
Proceeding, or such securities issued, on account of the Subordinated O&M Costs
as a result thereof and apply the same, or the proceeds of any realization upon
the same that the Senior Claimants in their discretion elect to effect, to
Senior Claims until all Senior Claims shall have been paid in full (the Senior
Claimants hereby agreeing to render any surplus as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct); and


                                       3
<PAGE>   501
                        2.5.3 other than voting claims comprising the
Subordinated O&M Costs, to take generally any action in connection with any such
meeting or proceeding which Junior Claimant might otherwise take in respect of
the Subordinated O&M Costs and claims relating thereto.

            After the commencement of any such Proceeding, Junior Claimant may
inquire of Administrative Agent in writing whether Administrative Agent intends
to exercise the foregoing rights with respect to the Subordinated O&M Costs.
Should Administrative Agent fail, within a reasonable time after receipt of such
inquiry, either to file a proof of claim with respect to the Subordinated O&M
Costs and to furnish a copy thereof to Junior Claimant, or to inform Junior
Claimant in writing that the Senior Claimants intend to exercise their rights to
assert the Subordinated O&M Costs in the manner hereinabove provided, Junior
Claimant may, but shall not be required to, proceed to file a proof of claim
with respect to the Subordinated O&M Costs and take such further steps with
respect thereto, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as Junior Claimant may
deem proper.

                  2.6   In the event that (a) the Senior Claimants foreclose on
any or all of their liens on all or a substantial portion of the assets
constituting one or more of the Projects (or succeed to such assets by way of a
transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and (b) Senior Claimants assume either of the
Subordinated Contracts in accordance with the terms of the Consent and Agreement
dated as of ___________, 200_ among Junior Claimant, Administrative Agent and
Project Owner (the "Consent") (or enter into a new agreement pursuant to Section
1(d) of the Consent), then notwithstanding anything in either of the
Subordinated Contracts to the contrary, (i) Project Owner (or any successor or
assign) shall not be obligated to pay the Subordinated O&M Costs, if any, then
due, except as set forth in Section 2.6.1 or 2.6.2, as applicable, (ii) each of
the Subordinated Contracts shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
any such foreclosure (but subject to the terms and conditions thereof), and
(iii) the following shall apply:

                        2.6.1 In the event that the Senior Claimants (including,
for purposes of this Section 2.6.1, their Affiliates) or any of them become the
owners of one or more of the Projects, the Senior Claimants shall apply to the
outstanding balance, if any, of the Subordinated O&M Costs relating to such
Project(s) on (or promptly after) the last day of each calendar quarter all
Project Operating Revenues relating to such Project(s) received in excess of
amounts applied during such quarterly period to (a) the payment or application
of all costs for the operation and maintenance of such Projects in the nature of
those costs defined as "Senior O&M Costs" payable under Waterfall Level 1 of
Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement, which expenditures shall not be materially
greater than as are consistent with operation of such Project(s) in accordance
with prudent operating practices (as determined with reference to similar
facilities under similar operating conditions), (b) the payment of a return of
and on the investment of the Senior Claimants, whether such investment is in the
form of equity or debt (and whether or not the Senior Claimants have foreclosed
on their liens by way of a partial or full credit bid or otherwise), which
payments shall not be greater than the periodic payments which would have been
payable under the priorities specified in Waterfall Levels 2 through 5 and 8 of
Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such
foreclosure, as reasonably determined by the Senior Claimants (assuming for
purposes of calculating such payment that (i) Loans had been extended to
Borrower at the Base Rate in the amount of the


                                       4
<PAGE>   502
unpaid balance of all Loans owed to the Senior Claimants immediately prior to
the exercise by such parties of their remedies, (ii) such deemed Loans have not
been repaid upon foreclosure, (iii) such deemed Loans are to be deemed amortized
straight line through the Loan Maturity Date (without giving effect to any
acceleration) and (iv) all outstanding Letters of Credit were fully drawn upon
by the respective LC Beneficiaries immediately prior to foreclosure) and (c)
funding of reserves in an amount which would have been available for the benefit
of the Senior Claimants under Waterfall Level 5 of Section 7.2 of the Credit
Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such foreclosure. Upon such
foreclosure by the Senior Claimants, each of the Subordinated Contracts, as
applicable, shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such arrangement.

                        2.6.2 In the event that the Senior Claimants sell one or
more of the Projects to a third party ("New Owner"), the New Owner shall apply
to the outstanding balance, if any, of the Subordinated O&M Costs relating to
such Project(s) on (or promptly after) the last day of each calendar quarter all
Project Operating Revenues relating to such Project(s) received in excess of
amounts applied during such quarterly period to (a) the payment of all costs for
the operation and maintenance of such Project(s) in the nature of those costs
defined as "Senior O&M Costs" payable under Waterfall Level 1 of Section 7.2 of
the Credit Agreement, which expenditures shall not be materially greater than as
are consistent with operation of such Project(s) in accordance with prudent
operating practices (as determined with reference to similar facilities under
similar operating conditions), (b) the periodic payment of fees, interest and
principal as required by the lenders to the New Owner, which payments shall not
be materially greater on an annual basis than such amounts payable by Borrower
to the Senior Claimants under the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately
prior to foreclosure by the Senior Claimants, as reasonably determined by the
lenders to the New Owner; provided that greater payments shall be permitted so
long as the payment of such excess amounts is subordinated to the Subordinated
O&M Costs and (c) the funding of reserves not materially in excess of the
amounts which would have been available for the benefit of the Senior Claimants
under Waterfall Level 5 of Section 7.2 the Credit Agreement as in effect
immediately prior to such foreclosure. The lenders to such New Owner shall be
deemed to be Senior Claimants hereunder, and the payments specified in clause
(b) and (c) of this Section 2.6.2 shall be deemed to be Senior Claims under this
Agreement. Subject to Junior Claimant's rights under Section ___ of the _____,
Section _______ of the ________ and Section ____ of the _________, [SECTION
REFERENCES RELATING TO JUNIOR CLAIMANT'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE UPON CHANGE OF
CONTROL] Junior Claimant agrees that it will execute and deliver to New Owner's
lenders such new subordination agreement, such amendments to each of the
Subordinated Contracts, and such other instruments, in each case consistent with
the terms of this Agreement, and Junior Claimant shall take such further action,
as the lenders to the New Owner reasonably request in furtherance of this
Section 2.6.2.

            3.    CREDIT AGREEMENT. Junior Claimant acknowledges that it has
been provided with a copy of the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty and has read
and is familiar with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including without
limitation Article 7 thereof. Junior Claimant hereby consents to the application
of Project Revenues in the order of priority set forth in the Credit Agreement
and Guaranty, including without limitation Article 7 of the Credit Agreement,
notwithstanding anything in either of the Subordinated Contracts to the
contrary.


                                       5
<PAGE>   503
            4.    TIME OF FILING. Notwithstanding the time of filing, attachment
or recording of any document or other instrument, it is agreed by Junior
Claimant that any liens arising under or pursuant to the Collateral Documents
(as defined in the Credit Documents) shall be senior to any liens arising in
favor of Junior Claimant as part of or relating to either of the Subordinated
Contracts.

            5.    WRONGFUL COLLECTIONS. Should any payment on account of, or any
collateral for any part of, the Subordinated O&M Costs be received by Junior
Claimant in violation of this Agreement, such payment or collateral shall be
delivered forthwith to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Senior Claimants by
the recipient for application to Senior Claims, in the form received.
Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to supply any required
endorsement or assignment which may have been omitted. Until so delivered, any
such payment or collateral shall be held by the recipient in trust for the
Senior Claimants and shall not be commingled with other funds or property of the
recipient.

            6.    OWNERSHIP OF SUBORDINATED O&M COSTS; AMENDMENT OF SUBORDINATED
CONTRACTS.

                  6.1   Junior Claimant represents and warrants that it is the
lawful owner of the right to receive the Subordinated O&M Costs and no part
thereof has been assigned to or subordinated or subjected to any other security
interest in favor of anyone other than the Senior Claimants. Junior Claimant
shall not assign all or any portion of the Subordinated O&M Costs, its
commitment under, or any of its rights or remedies under, either of the
Subordinated Contracts without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent
and the Required Banks, which may be granted or withheld in their sole
discretion, and in any event only upon the execution and delivery to
Administrative Agent of an agreement by any such assignee to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement (including provisions relating to assignment), in form
and substance the same as this Agreement, or otherwise as may be reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

                  6.2   Subject to Section 6.13.1 of the Credit Agreement and
Section 3(f) of the Guaranty, Junior Claimant shall not amend either of the
Subordinated Contracts without Administrative Agent's prior written consent.

            7.    WAIVERS. Administrative Agent and the Senior Claimants are
hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or
not Project Owner shall have complied with the provisions hereof applicable to
it, at any time when Junior Claimant shall have failed to comply with any
provision hereof applicable to it. Junior Claimant hereby irrevocably waives any
defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a
bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor
by the Senior Claimants. Junior Claimant further waives presentment, notice and
protest in connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing Senior Claims
or Subordinated O&M Costs to which Junior Claimant may be a party, notice of the
acceptance of this Agreement by the Senior Claimants, notice of any loan made,
extension granted or other action taken in reliance hereon, and all demands and
notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, Senior Claims or time
of payment of Senior Claims or Subordinated O&M Costs. Junior Claimant hereby
assents to any renewal, extension or postponement of the time of payment of
Senior


                                       6
<PAGE>   504
Claims or any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any increase in the
amount of Senior Claims, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral
therefor and to the addition or release of any person primarily or secondarily
liable thereon and assents to the provisions of any instrument, security or
other writing evidencing Senior Claims.

            8.    SUBROGATION; NO IMPAIRMENT OF PROJECT OWNER'S OBLIGATIONS.
Subject to and from and after the indefeasible payment in full of all Senior
Claims and the irrevocable termination of Senior Claimants' commitments under
the Credit Documents, Junior Claimant shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Senior Claimants to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or
securities of Project Owner applicable to the Senior Claims until all amounts
owing on the Subordinated O&M Costs shall be paid in full, it being understood
that the provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of Junior Claimant and the Senior
Claimants; provided that such rights of subrogation shall be nonexclusive, and
shall be shared with any other subordinated creditor of the Project Owner which
has entered into an agreement with the Administrative Agent providing similar
rights of subrogation. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or
shall impair, as between Project Owner, its creditors other than the Senior
Claimants and Junior Claimant, the obligation of Project Owner, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay to Junior Claimant the principal of and the
premium, if any, and the interest on the Subordinated O&M Costs as and when the
same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the Subordinated Contracts, or to affect the relative rights of Junior
Claimant and creditors of Project Owner other than the Senior Claimants.

            9.    REINSTATEMENT. The obligations of Junior Claimant under this
Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time any payment in respect of any Senior Claim, or any other payment
to any holder of any Senior Claim in its capacity as such, is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the holder of such Senior Claims upon the
occurrence of any Proceeding, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for,
Project Owner or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made.

            10.   BANKRUPTCY. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect as between the Junior Claimant and Senior Claimant notwithstanding the
occurrence of any Proceeding affecting Project Owner.

            11.   FURTHER ASSURANCES. Project Owner and Junior Claimant shall
execute and deliver to the Senior Claimants such further instruments and shall
take such further action as the Senior Claimants may at any time or times
reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this
Agreement.

            12.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The rights granted to the Senior
Claimants hereunder are solely for their protection and nothing herein contained
shall impose on the Senior Claimants any duties with respect to any property of
Project Owner or Junior Claimant received hereunder. The Senior Claimants shall
have no duty to preserve rights against prior parties in any property of any
kind received hereunder.

            13.   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
agreement. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by each of the parties
hereto.

            14.   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is intended to take effect as a
sealed instrument, shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
executors, administrators, other legal representatives, successors and assigns,
and shall inure to the benefit of the Senior Claimants, their respective
successors and assigns and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
York without reference to principles of conflict of laws (other than Section
5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). The parties hereto intend and
agree that this Agreement shall remain binding on such parties (other than
Project Owner) notwithstanding the termination (except upon the payment in full
of Senior Claims) or unenforceability of this Agreement as against Project
Owner.

                                    AGREEMENT

            In consideration of the premises herein, and in order to induce the
Banks to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make the advances of credit
pursuant to the terms thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Pledged Portfolio
Entity and Pledgor hereby agree with Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Administrative Agent and the Banks as follows:

      1.    DEFINITIONS.

            1.1   "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as the same may,
from time to time, be in effect in the State of New York; provided, however, in
the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the
attachment, perfection or priority of the security interest in any Collateral is
governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other
than the State of New York, the term "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions
hereof relating to such attachment, perfection or priority and for purposes of
definitions related to such provisions.

            1.2   All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meanings provided in the Credit Agreement. The rules of
interpretation contained in Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement shall apply to
this Agreement.

      2.    ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE AND GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.

            2.1   To secure the timely payment and performance of the
Obligations (as defined below), Pledgor hereby assigns and pledges to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Banks, and
grants to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the
Banks a security interest in all the estate, right, title and interest of
Pledgor, now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under any and all of the
following (the "Collateral"):

                  Any and all of Pledgor's [PARTNERSHIP][LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANY] interest(s), whether now owned or subsequently acquired, in the Pledged
Portfolio Entity, including, without limitation, the certificates representing
such interest(s) and Pledgor's share of (i) all rights to receive all income,
gain, profit, loss or other items allocated or distributed to Pledgor under the
Constituent Agreement; (ii) all rights to receive all income, profit or other
distributions of any nature whatsoever by the Pledged Portfolio Entity with
respect to such interest(s); (iii) all of Pledgor's capital or ownership
interest, including capital accounts, in the Pledged Portfolio Entity, and all
accounts, deposits or credits of any kind with the Pledged Portfolio Entity;
(iv) all of Pledgor's voting rights in or rights to control or direct the
affairs of the Pledged Portfolio Entity; (v) all of Pledgor's right, title and
interest in the Pledged Portfolio Entity, in or to any and all of the Pledged
Portfolio Entity's assets or properties; (vi) all other right, title and
interest in or to the Pledged Portfolio Entity, as such rights are derived from
Pledgor's interest in the Pledged Portfolio Entity; (vii) all claims of Pledgor
for damages arising out of or for breach of or default relating to the
Collateral; and (viii) all rights of Pledgor to


                                       2
<PAGE>   509
terminate, amend, supplement, modify or waive performance under the Constituent
Agreement, to perform thereunder and to compel performance and otherwise
exercise all remedies thereunder; and (ix) all proceeds of any of the above.

[ADD FOR MEMBER PLEDGE AGREEMENT] [PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT "COLLATERAL" SHALL
NOT INCLUDE ANY CASH OR OTHER PROPERTY DISTRIBUTED TO PLEDGOR FOLLOWING A
DISTRIBUTION MADE PURSUANT TO WATERFALL LEVELS 8 OR 10, AS THE CASE MAY BE, OF
THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.]

[ADD FOR NON-AFFILIATE PARENT PLEDGE AGREEMENT] [PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT
"COLLATERAL" SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CASH OR OTHER PROPERTY DISTRIBUTED TO PLEDGOR
FOLLOWING A DISTRIBUTION MADE PURSUANT TO WATERFALL LEVEL 7 OF THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT.]

            2.2   If any default by Pledgor under the Constituent Agreement (a
"Constituent Agreement Default") shall occur, Administrative Agent shall, at its
option, be permitted (but shall not be obligated) to remedy any such Constituent
Agreement Default by giving written notice of such intent to the Pledged
Portfolio Entity and Pledgor. Administrative Agent shall have a period of 60
days after giving such notice in which to cure such Constituent Agreement
Default. In the event that any such Constituent Agreement Default (except
monetary defaults) shall not be reasonably curable within such sixty-day period,
neither the Pledged Portfolio Entity nor any Person acting on behalf of the
Pledged Portfolio Entity, including, without limitation, a general partner of
the Pledged Portfolio Entity, shall exercise any remedies thereunder if
Administrative Agent shall, within such 60-day period, initiate action to cure
such Constituent Agreement Default and proceed diligently to the curing thereof
within 120 days after giving written notice of a Constituent Agreement Default.
Any cure by Administrative Agent of a Constituent Agreement Default shall not be
construed as an assumption by Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of any
obligations, covenants or agreements of Pledgor under the Constituent Agreement,
and, subject to Section 12.13 of the Credit Agreement, neither Administrative
Agent nor any of the Banks shall be liable for any action taken pursuant to this
subsection 2.2 to cure any such Constituent Agreement Default, except as set
forth in Section 12.13 of the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall not be
deemed to release or to affect in any way the obligations of Pledgor under the
Constituent Agreement.

      3.    OBLIGATIONS SECURED. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, this Agreement and all of the Collateral secure the payment and
performance when due of all Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of
Borrower and each other Portfolio Entity (including Pledgor) to the
Administrative Agent and the Banks pursuant to the Credit Documents (the
"Obligations"); provided, however, the Obligations as defined in this Section 3
shall not include any Obligations relating to or arising from Projects that have
achieved Operation prior to the effective date of this Agreement.

      4.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following events
(each, an "Event of Default," and collectively the "Events of Default"),
whatever the reason for such Event of Default, and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body, shall entitle Administrative Agent to
exercise any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder or at law:


                                       3
<PAGE>   510
            4.1   The occurrence (whether as a result of acts or omissions by
the Pledged Portfolio Entity or any other Person) of an Event of Default (as
"Event of Default" is defined under the Credit Agreement or the respective
Credit Document) under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents; or

            4.2   The failure on the part of Pledgor to observe or perform any
covenant contained in this Agreement on its part to be observed or performed,
and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after Pledgor
becomes aware thereof or receives written notice thereof from Administrative
Agent; provided, however, that, if (i) such failure cannot be cured within such
30 day period, (ii) such failure is susceptible of cure, (iii) Pledgor is
proceeding with diligence and in good faith to cure such failure, (iv) the
existence of such failure has not had and cannot after considering the nature of
the cure be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower
and (v) Administrative Agent shall have received an officer's certificate signed
by a Responsible Officer of Pledgor to the effect of clauses (i), (ii), (iii)
and (iv) above and stating what action Pledgor is taking to cure such failure,
then such 30 day cure period shall be extended to such date, not to exceed a
total of 90 days, as shall be necessary for Pledgor diligently to cure such
failure; or

            4.3   Any representation or warranty of Pledgor contained in this
Agreement shall contain an untrue or misleading statement of a material fact or
shall fail to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading as of the date made which could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower; or

            4.4   The impairment of the priority of the security interest in the
Collateral granted herein.

      5.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PLEDGOR. Pledgor represents and
warrants as follows as of the date hereof:

            5.1   Pledgor (i) is a ____________ duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with all requisite
corporate power and authority under the laws of such state to enter into the
Constituent Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) is duly qualified,
authorized to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
character of its properties or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification necessary, [AND] (iii) has the power (A) to carry on its business
as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted by it, (B) to execute,
deliver and perform each Operative Document to which it is a party, in its
individual capacity, (C) to take all action as may be necessary to consummate
the transactions contemplated thereunder, and (D) to grant the liens and
security interest provided for in this Agreement [AND (iv) [INSERT IF
CONSTITUENT DOCUMENTS GRANT PLEDGOR SIGNATORY POWERS] HAS THE POWER AND
AUTHORITY UNDER THE CONSTITUENT AGREEMENT TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER, ON BEHALF OF
THE PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY, EACH OPERATIVE DOCUMENT TO WHICH THE PLEDGED
PORTFOLIO ENTITY IS A PARTY].


            5.2   Pledgor has the full right, power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform this Agreement and to pledge and assign the Collateral.
[INSERT IF PLEDGOR IS


                                       4
<PAGE>   511
SOLE MEMBER, GENERAL PARTNER OR OTHERWISE CONTROLS PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY:
PLEDGOR HAS (i) TAKEN ALL NECESSARY ACTION TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY
AND PERFORMANCE OF THE CONSTITUENT AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER
OPERATIVE DOCUMENT TO WHICH THE PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY IS A PARTY; AND (ii)
DULY EXECUTED AND DELIVERED THE CONSTITUENT AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH
OPERATIVE DOCUMENT TO WHICH THE PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY IS A PARTY, IN EACH
CASE ON BEHALF OF THE PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY]. Neither Pledgor's execution and
delivery of any Operative Document nor its consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby nor its compliance with the terms thereof (x) does or will
contravene the Constituent Agreement, the governing or other constituent
documents of Pledgor or any other Legal Requirement applicable to or binding on
Pledgor or any of its properties, or (y) does or will contravene or result in
any breach of or constitute any default under, or result in or require the
creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property
under, any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any
of its properties may be bound or affected.

            5.3   The Constituent Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by Pledgor, has not been amended or otherwise modified, is in full
force and effect, and is binding upon and enforceable against Pledgor in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by the
effect of general equitable principles. There exists no default under the
Constituent Agreement by Pledgor, or to the best of Pledgor's knowledge, by any
other party thereto that, with respect to such other party, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the Project directly
or indirectly owned by the Pledged Portfolio Entity.

            5.4   No consent of any other party (including, without limitation,
any creditor, shareholder or partner of Pledgor) and no consent, authorization,
approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the pledge by Pledgor of
the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery or
performance of this Agreement by Pledgor or (ii) for the exercise by the
Administrative Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this
Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement (except as has been obtained or made or as may be required in
connection with disposition of any Collateral by laws affecting the offering and
sale of securities generally).

            5.5   Pledgor is the lawful owner of and has full right, title and
interest in and to, its interest in the Pledged Portfolio Entity together with
the other rights and interests comprising the Collateral described above,
subject to no mortgages, liens, charges, or encumbrances of any kind except
Permitted Liens.

            5.6   Pledgor has not previously assigned any of its rights under
the Constituent Agreement or any of the Collateral except as specifically
permitted by the Credit Documents.

            5.7   Pledgor has not executed and is not aware of any effective
financing statement, security agreement or other instrument similar in effect
covering all or any part of the


                                       5
<PAGE>   512
Collateral on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

            5.8   This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Pledgor, enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights and by the effect of general equitable principles. Upon filing
the UCC-1 financing statements executed by Pledgor with respect to the
Collateral at the office of the Secretary of State for the States of Delaware
and __________ pursuant to this Agreement, the delivery of all certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing the Collateral and the execution of this
Agreement by the Pledged Portfolio Entity, Administrative Agent will have a
valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing
payment of the Obligations.

            5.9   Pledgor is in compliance with all Legal Requirements
pertaining to it in connection with the Operative Documents to which it is a
party, the failure to comply with which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the Project owned directly or indirectly
by the Pledged Portfolio Entity, and no notices of violation of any Legal
Requirement or Operative Document relating to any Project or any Site have been
issued to or received by Pledgor.

            5.10  Except as set forth on Exhibit G-7 to the Credit Agreement,
there are no pending or, to Pledgor's knowledge, threatened actions, suits,
proceedings or investigations of any kind, including actions or proceedings of
or before any Governmental Authority, relating to the Collateral or to which
Pledgor is a party or is subject, or by which it or its properties are bound
that, if adversely determined to or against Pledgor could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the Project owned directly or
indirectly by the Pledged Portfolio Entity.

            5.11  The financial statements of Pledgor delivered to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 3 and Section 5.5 of the Credit
Agreement, if any, are, and, in the case of financial statements to be delivered
after the date hereof, will be, true, complete and correct in all material
respects as of the date of such statements and fairly present the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flow of Pledgor as of the date
thereof. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

            5.12  Pledgor has filed all federal, state and local tax returns
that it is required to file, has paid all taxes it is required to pay to the
extent due (other than those taxes that it is contesting in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings, with adequate, reserves established for such taxes)
and, to the extent such taxes are not due, has established reserves that are
adequate for the payment thereof and are required by GAAP. Except as set forth
on Exhibit G-8 to the Credit Agreement, Pledgor has no knowledge of any past or
existing violations of any Environmental Laws by any Person relating in any way
to any Site, Improvements or Easements.

            5.13  INSERT UNLESS PLEDGOR IS CALPINE CCFC II HOLDINGS, INC.]
[PLEDGOR HAS NOT CONDUCTED ANY BUSINESS OTHER THAN THE BUSINESS CONTEMPLATED BY

other than pursuant to or allowed by the Operative Documents; Pledgor is not a
party to or bound by any material contract other than the Operative Documents to
which it is a party.

            5.14  Neither Pledgor nor any of its Affiliates is an "investment
company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

            5.15  The chief executive offices of Pledgor are located at the
address set forth on Schedule 4.24 of the Credit Agreement with respect to
Pledgor.

            5.16  Pledgor is not, and will not be, solely as a result of the
construction, ownership, leasing or operation of any Project owned directly or
indirectly by the Pledged Portfolio Entity, the sale of electricity therefrom or
the entering into any Operative Document or any transaction contemplated hereby
or thereby, subject to, or not exempt from, regulation under the FPA or PUHCA or
under state laws and regulations respecting the rates or the financial or
organizational regulation of electric utilities or will not be deemed by any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to be subject to financial,
organizational or rate regulation as an "electric utility," "electric
corporation," "electrical company," "public utility," "public utility holding
company" or any similar entity under any existing law, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority.

      6.    COVENANTS OF PLEDGOR. Pledgor covenants and agrees as follows:

            6.1   Pledgor shall perform and comply with all obligations and
conditions on its part to be performed hereunder, under the Constituent
Agreement and with respect to the Collateral.

            6.2   Pledgor shall, so long as any Obligations shall be
outstanding, defend its title to the Collateral and the interest of
Administrative Agent in the Collateral pledged hereunder against the claims and
demands of all persons whomsoever.

            6.3   Pledgor shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume
or suffer to exist any liens on or with respect to any part of the Collateral
(other than the Lien created by this Agreement and other Permitted Liens).

            6.4   Pledgor will not file or authorize or permit to be filed in
any jurisdiction any financing statements under the UCC or any like statement
relating to the Collateral in which Administrative Agent is not named as the
sole secured party.

            6.5   Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement,
Pledgor will not cause, suffer or permit the sale, assignment, conveyance or
other transfer of all or any portion of Pledgor's ownership interest or
interests in the Pledged Portfolio Entity. As used herein, the transfer of an
ownership interest in the Pledged Portfolio Entity includes (i) the sale,
assignment, pledge, hypothecation, transfer or other disposition (voluntarily or
involuntarily, by gift or otherwise, and whether as security or otherwise) of an
equity interest in any Person substantially all of the assets of which consist
directly or indirectly of an interest in the Pledged


                                       7
<PAGE>   514
Portfolio Entity, or (ii) the merger or consolidation of a Person referred to in
clause (i), with another Person.

            6.6   Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Pledgor shall not
terminate, modify or amend the Constituent Agreement.

            6.7   Pledgor shall give to Administrative Agent prompt notice of
(i) each material demand or notice received or given by it relating to the
Constituent Agreement; and (ii) any Default, Event of Default or event which
with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both might become an Event
of Default (as "Default" and "Event of Default" are defined in the Constituent
Agreement) under the Constituent Agreement, whether by the Pledged Portfolio
Entity, Pledgor or any other Person, of which Pledgor has knowledge or has
received notice.

            6.8   If Pledgor in its capacity as an owner of the Pledged
Portfolio Entity receives any income or distribution of money or property of any
kind from the Pledged Portfolio Entity other than as permitted hereby or by
Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement, Pledgor shall hold such income or
distribution as trustee for and shall deliver the same to Administrative Agent.

            6.9   Pledgor will, at all times, keep accurate and complete records
of the Collateral. Pledgor shall permit representatives of Administrative Agent,
upon reasonable prior notice, at any time during normal business hours of
Pledgor to inspect and make abstracts from Pledgor's books and records
pertaining to the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default, at Administrative Agent's request, Pledgor shall promptly
deliver copies of any and all such records to Administrative Agent.

            6.10  Pledgor shall give Administrative Agent at least 45 days'
notice before it changes the location of its place of business, chief executive
office or state of organization and shall at the expense of the Pledged
Portfolio Entity execute and deliver such instruments and documents as may be
required by Administrative Agent to maintain a prior perfected security interest
in the Collateral.

      7.    REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

            7.1   If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Administrative Agent shall have the right, at its election, but not the
obligation, to do any of the following: (i) in connection with any acceleration
and foreclosure, vote or exercise any and all of Pledgor's rights or powers
under the Constituent Agreement, including any rights or powers to manage or
control the Pledged Portfolio Entity; (ii) demand, sue for, collect or receive
any money or property at any time payable to or receivable by Pledgor on account
of or in exchange for all or any part of the Collateral; (iii) cause any action
at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to
collect or enforce any Obligations or rights hereunder or included in the
Collateral, including specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
contained herein or in the Constituent Agreement, or to foreclose or enforce the
security interest in all or any part of the Collateral granted herein, or to
enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by
law; (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral or
cause all or any part of the Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of in
one or more sales or transactions, at such prices and in such manner as
Administrative Agent may deem appropriate,


                                       8
<PAGE>   515
and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any
credit risk, at any broker's board or at public or private sale, without demand
of performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale
(except such notice which under applicable law cannot be waived) it being agreed
that Administrative Agent may be a purchaser on behalf of the Banks or on its
own behalf at any such sale and that Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other
Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value and without notice of any
claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the same
absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity
of redemption, of Pledgor or the Pledged Portfolio Entity, any such demand,
notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released; (v) incur
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable consultants' fees,
and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or power under this
Agreement; (vi) perform any obligation of Pledgor hereunder or under the
Constituent Agreement; (vii) secure the appointment of a receiver for Pledgor
without notice to the Pledged Portfolio Entity or Pledgor; or (viii) exercise
any other or additional rights or remedies granted to a secured party under the
UCC. If, pursuant to applicable law, prior notice of any such action is required
to be given to Pledgor or the Pledged Portfolio Entity, Pledgor and the Pledged
Portfolio Entity hereby acknowledge and agree that the minimum time required by
such applicable law, or if no minimum is specified, of 10 Banking Days, shall be
deemed a reasonable notice period.

            7.2   In addition to the foregoing remedies, Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any Event of Default and incur
reasonable fees, costs and expenses in doing so, in which event the Pledged
Portfolio Entity shall immediately reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for
all such fees, costs and expenses, together with interest thereon at the Default
Rate from the date incurred until the date repaid in full.

            7.3   All costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Administrative Agent in
connection with exercising any remedy provided for herein or at law, curing any
Event of Default or any Constituent Agreement Default, performing any of
Pledgor's agreements contained herein or in the Constituent Agreement or in
respect of any part of the Collateral, together with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by law) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate
from the date on which such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of
payment thereof, shall constitute indebtedness secured by this Agreement and
shall be paid by the Pledged Portfolio Entity to Administrative Agent on demand.

            7.4   If Administrative Agent shall decide to exercise its right to
sell any or all of the Collateral, and if in the opinion of counsel for the
Administrative Agent it is necessary to have such Collateral, or that portion
thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or otherwise registered or qualified under any federal or
state securities laws or regulations (collectively, the "Securities Laws")
Pledgor and the Pledged Portfolio Entity will execute and deliver, all at
Pledgor's and the Pledged Portfolio Entity's expense, all such instruments and
documents which, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, are necessary to
register or qualify such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under
the provisions of the Securities Laws. Pledgor and the Pledged Portfolio Entity
will execute and will use best efforts to cause any registration statement
relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not
less than six months from the date of the first public offering of such
Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and to make all amendments
thereto and/or


                                       9
<PAGE>   516
to any related prospectus or similar document which, in the reasonable opinion
of Administrative Agent, are necessary, all in conformity with the Securities
Laws applicable thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Pledged Portfolio Entity agrees to comply with the provisions of the securities
or "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction(s) which Administrative Agent shall
reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as
practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933.

            7.5   So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Pledgor reserves the right to exercise all of its rights under the Constituent
Agreement (except as limited by the Credit Documents) and to receive all income
and other distributions from the Collateral (except as limited by the Credit
Documents).

      8.    REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY NOT WAIVER.

            8.1   No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Administrative Agent or the Banks is intended to be exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right,
power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held
by Administrative Agent, may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or
several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken
nonjudicial proceedings, or both.

            8.2   No delay or omission of Administrative Agent to exercise any
right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Administrative
Agent.

      9.    APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to
all fees, costs and expenses incurred by and due and owing to Administrative
Agent and the Banks with respect to the Credit Agreement, the other Credit
Documents or the Collateral Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on
the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal
amounts of the Obligations outstanding; fourth, to any other Obligations of the
Pledged Portfolio Entity or Pledgor owing to Administrative Agent or the Banks;
and fifth, to or as directed by Pledgor.

      10.   CERTAIN CONSENTS AND WAIVERS.

            10.1  [INSERT IF OTHER OWNERS OF PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY: PLEDGOR
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXECUTION, BY THE OTHER PARTNER OR PARTNERS IN THE
PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY, OF AN AGREEMENT SIMILAR TO THIS AGREEMENT IN FAVOR OF


                                       10
<PAGE>   517
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS.
PLEDGOR SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT SUCH OTHER AGREEMENT MAY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
ASSIGN OR DELEGATE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT RIGHTS TO CURE DEFAULTS UNDER THE
CONSTITUENT AGREEMENT, TO EXERCISE VOTING RIGHTS AND OTHER RIGHTS TO MANAGE OR
CONTROL THE PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY, AND TO ACT AS SUCH OTHER PARTNER'S
ATTORNEY IN FACT IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION OF SUCH
RIGHTS PROVIDED HEREIN AND THAT PLEDGOR WILL RECOGNIZE AND ACCEPT SUCH
ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION AND THE EXERCISE OF SUCH RIGHTS BY ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTIONS BY OR BUSINESS OF THE PLEDGED PORTFOLIO
ENTITY.]

            10.2  Pledgor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law
(i) all rights under any law limiting remedies, including recovery of a
deficiency, under an obligation secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on real
property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the
mortgage, and all defenses based on any loss whether as a result of any such
sale or otherwise, of Pledgor's right to recover any amount from any Portfolio
Entity or any other Person, whether by right of subrogation or otherwise; (ii)
all rights under any law to require Administrative Agent to pursue any Portfolio
Entity or any other Person, any security which Administrative Agent may hold, or
any other remedy before proceeding against Pledgor; (iii) all rights of
reimbursement or subrogation, all rights to enforce any remedy that
Administrative Agent or the Banks may have against any Portfolio Entity or any
other Person, and all rights to participate in any security held by
Administrative Agent until the Obligations have been paid and the covenants of
the Credit Documents have been performed in full; (iv) all rights to require
Administrative Agent to give any notices of any kind, including, without
limitation, notices of nonpayment, nonperformance, protest, dishonor, default,
delinquency or acceleration, or to make any presentments, demands or protests,
except as set forth herein or expressly provided in the Credit Agreement; (v)
all rights to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Portfolio Entity or any
other Person as a defense hereunder or as the basis for rescission hereof; (vi)
subject to Section 16 hereof, all rights under any law purporting to reduce
Pledgor's obligations hereunder if the Obligations are reduced; (vii) all
defenses based on the disability or lack of authority of any Portfolio Entity or
any other Person, the repudiation of the Credit Documents by any Portfolio
Entity or any other Person, the failure by Administrative Agent or the Banks to
enforce any claim against any Portfolio Entity or any other Person, or the
unenforceability in whole or in part of any Credit Documents; (viii) all
suretyship and guarantor's defenses generally; (ix) all rights to insist upon,
plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets, redemption or
similar law, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which
may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Pledgor of its
obligations under, or the enforcement by Administrative Agent of, this
Agreement; (x) any requirement on the part of Administrative Agent or the holder
of any of the Notes to mitigate the damages resulting from any default; and (xi)
except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, all rights of notice and
hearing of any kind prior to the exercise of rights by Administrative Agent upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to repossess
with judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral. To the
extent permitted by law, Pledgor waives the posting of any bond otherwise
required of Administrative Agent in connection with any judicial process or
proceeding to obtain possession of, replevy, attach, or levy upon the
Collateral, to enforce any judgment or other security for the Obligations, to
enforce any judgment or other court order entered in favor of Administrative
Agent, or to enforce by specific performance, temporary restraining order,
preliminary or permanent injunction, this Agreement or any other agreement or
document


                                       11
<PAGE>   518
between Pledgor, Administrative Agent and Banks. Pledgor further agrees that
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent may elect to nonjudicially or judicially
foreclose against any real or personal property security it holds for the
Obligations or any part thereof, or to exercise any other remedy against any
Portfolio Entity or any other Person, any security or any guarantor, even if the
effect of that action is to deprive Pledgor of the right to collect
reimbursement from any Portfolio Entity or any other Person for any sums paid by
Pledgor to Administrative Agent or any Bank.

            10.3  If Administrative Agent may, under applicable law, proceed to
realize its benefits under any of the Credit Documents giving Administrative
Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Portfolio Entity or by
any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by nonjudicial sale or
enforcement, Administrative Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of
its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of the rights and
remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If, in the exercise of
any of such rights and remedies, Administrative Agent shall forfeit any of its
rights or remedies, including any right to enter a deficiency judgment against
any Portfolio Entity or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws
pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, Pledgor hereby consents to
such action by Administrative Agent and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by
Administrative Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of
subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which Pledgor might otherwise have
had but for such action by Administrative Agent or the terms herein. Any
election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of
Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any of the parties to
any of the Credit Documents or Security Documents shall not, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, impair Pledgor's obligation hereunder. In the event
Administrative Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any
private sale permitted by law or the Credit Documents, Administrative Agent may
bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether
Administrative Agent or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be
conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the
difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations
shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations.

      11.   THE PLEDGED PORTFOLIO ENTITY'S CONSENT. The Pledged Portfolio Entity
hereby consents to the assignment of and grant of a security interest in the
Collateral to Administrative Agent and to the exercise by Administrative Agent
of all rights and powers assigned or delegated to Administrative Agent by
Pledgor hereunder, including, without limitation, the rights upon and during an
Event of Default to exercise Pledgor's voting rights and other rights under the
Constituent Agreement to manage or control the Pledged Portfolio Entity.

      12.   ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of
Pledgor, Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the
Administrative Agent's discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument to enforce all rights of Pledgor with respect to the Collateral,
including, without limitation, the right to ask, require, demand, receive and
give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for money due and to become
due under or arising out of the Collateral; to elect


                                       12
<PAGE>   519
remedies thereunder, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in
connection therewith; to vote, demand, receive and enforce Pledgor's rights with
respect to the Collateral; to give appropriate receipts, releases and
satisfactions for and on behalf of and in the name of Pledgor or, at the option
of Administrative Agent, in the name of Administrative Agent, with the same
force and effect as Pledgor could do if this Agreement had not been made; and to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings in connection
therewith which Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary or
advisable; provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not exercise such
rights unless upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.

      13.   PERFECTION; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

            13.1  Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of
Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments and
documents, and take all action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that
Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the
assignment and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to
enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Pledgor shall (i) deliver the Collateral or any part thereof to
Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent may request, accompanied by such
duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment as Administrative Agent may
request, and (ii) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may
be reasonably necessary or desirable or as Administrative Agent may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests
granted or purported to be granted hereby.

            13.2  Pledgor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to
all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Pledgor where
permitted by law.

            13.3  Pledgor shall, promptly upon request, provide to
Administrative Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request
concerning the Collateral to enable Administrative Agent to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement.

            13.4  Pledgor and the Pledged Portfolio Entity shall pay all filing,
registration and recording fees and all refiling, re-registration and
re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses incident to the execution and
acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance, and all federal, state, county
and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imports, assessments and
charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto, any financing statements, and any
instruments of further assurance.

            13.5  To the extent it may do so under applicable law, Pledgor, for
itself, its successors and assigns, agrees that it shall not cast any vote as an
owner in the Pledged Portfolio Entity (i) in favor of the commencement of a
voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization,
rehabilitation or other relief with respect to the Pledged Portfolio


                                       13
<PAGE>   520
Entity or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the owners of the
Pledged Portfolio Entity or any substantial part of the Pledged Portfolio
Entity's property, (ii) to authorize the Pledged Portfolio Entity to consent to
any such aforesaid relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any
such aforesaid official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced
against the Pledged Portfolio Entity or (iii) to authorize the Pledged Portfolio
Entity to make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

            13.6  Pledgor will take all actions within its power to obtain like
title to and the right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter
pledged by it to Administrative Agent as Collateral hereunder.

            13.7  Pledgor will pay, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost
attaches thereto, all taxes, assessments and other governmental or
non-governmental charges or levies (other than those taxes that it is contesting
in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and in respect of which it has
established adequate, reserves for such taxes) now or hereafter assessed, levied
against the Collateral pledged by it hereunder (or against the Collateral in
which Pledgor has granted to Administrative Agent a security interest of first
priority) or upon the Liens for taxes and assessments not then delinquent or
subject to a contest and shall retain copies of, and, upon request, permit
Administrative Agent or any Bank to examine receipts showing payment of any of
the foregoing.

      14.   PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF RECORDS. Unless Administrative Agent
is otherwise notified under Section 6.10, Pledgor's state of organization is and
will be the state of Delaware and the places of business and chief executive
offices of Pledgor are, and all records of Pledgor concerning the Collateral are
and will be, located at the address set forth on Schedule 4.24 of the Credit
Agreement with respect to Pledgor.

      15.   CONTINUING ASSIGNMENT AND SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF NOTES. This
Agreement shall create a continuing pledge and assignment of and security
interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until
payment in full of the Obligations; (b) be binding upon the Pledged Portfolio
Entity, Pledgor, and their respective successors and assigns; and (c) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, to the benefit of
Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective successors, transferees and
assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent
or any of the Banks may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of or
interest in the Notes or other evidence of indebtedness held by them to any
other Person to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the Credit
Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all or an
appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Banks herein
or otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the
Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by
Administrative Agent to any security it may have in any order it may deem
appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any person on the indebtedness
secured hereby.

      16.   TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Upon the indefeasible payment and
performance in full of the Obligations, this Agreement and the security interest
and all other


                                       14
<PAGE>   521
rights granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall
revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination, Administrative Agent will return
all certificates evidencing ownership interests in the Pledged Portfolio Entity,
and all Ownership Powers executed hereunder, to Pledgor and will, at Pledgor's
expense, execute and, subject to Section 26 hereof, deliver to Pledgor such
documents (including, without limitation, UCC-3 termination statements) as the
Pledged Portfolio Entity or Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.

      17.   SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE. All rights of Administrative Agent and
the Banks and the security interests hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgor
hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

            17.1  Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto;

            17.2  Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of the Obligations (including any increase in the amount
thereof), or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
from the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

            17.3  Any exchange, surrender, release or non-perfection of any
Collateral, or any release, amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from
any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

            17.4  Any bankruptcy or insolvency of Pledgor or any other Person;
or

            17.5  Any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor or a third party pledgor.

      18.   LIMITATION ON DUTY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITH RESPECT TO THE
COLLATERAL. The powers conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to
protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to
exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder,
Administrative Agent shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral.
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral
is accorded treatment that is substantially equivalent to that which
Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being expressly agreed, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, that Administrative Agent shall have no
responsibility for (a) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
parties with respect to any Collateral, but Administrative Agent may do so and
all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations
or (b) taking any action to protect against any diminution in value of the
Collateral.

      19.   LIABILITY. Recourse against Pledgor and any other Portfolio Entity
and their respective Affiliates, members, partners, stockholders, officers,
directors and employees under this Agreement shall be limited to the extent
provided in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement.

<PAGE>   522
      20.   AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; CONSENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any
departure by Pledgor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the
written concurrence of Administrative Agent, the Pledged Portfolio Entity and
Pledgor.

      21.   NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under the terms and
provisions hereof shall be in writing and any such notice shall be effective if
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Notices to Administrative Agent may be given at the address set forth in such
Section 12.1. Notices to Pledgor or the Pledged Portfolio Entity may be given at
the following addresses:

                                    _____________________
                                    [ADDRESS]


or such other address as notified by a party pursuant to the terms hereof.

      22.   FINANCIAL STATUS. Pledgor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping
itself informed of the financial condition of each other Portfolio Entity and
any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of any instrument or document
evidencing all or any part of the Obligations and of all other circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations or any part thereof that
diligent inquiry would reveal. Pledgor hereby agrees that Administrative Agent
shall have no duty to advise Pledgor of information known to Administrative
Agent regarding such condition or any such circumstances or of any changes or
potential changes affecting the Collateral. In the event Administrative Agent,
in its discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any
such information to Pledgor, Administrative Agent shall be under any no
obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business
routine, or reasonable commercial lending practices or (iii) to make any other
or future disclosure of such information to any other information to Pledgor.

      23.   MODIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS. If Administrative Agent shall at any
time or from time to time, with or without the consent of, or notice to,
Pledgor:

            23.1  Change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of, or
renew or alter all or any portion of, the Obligations;

            23.2  Take any action under or in respect of the Credit Documents in
the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available at
law, equity or otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such remedies,
power or privileges;

            23.3  Amend or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the Credit
Documents;

            23.4  Extend or waive the time for Pledgor's, any other Portfolio
Entity's or any other Person's performance of, or compliance with, any term,
covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under the Credit
Documents, or waive such performance or compliance or consent to a failure of,
or departure from, such performance or compliance;


                                       16
<PAGE>   523
            23.5  Take and hold security or collateral for the payment of the
Obligations, or sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or otherwise deal with, any
property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in which Administrative Agent has
been granted a Lien, to secure any indebtedness associated with the Credit
Documents of Pledgor, any other Portfolio Entity or any other Person to
Administrative Agent;

            23.6  Release or limit the liability of anyone who may be liable in
any manner for the payment of any amounts under the Credit Documents owed by
Pledgor, any other Portfolio Entity or any other Person to Administrative Agent;

            23.7  Modify or terminate the terms of any intercreditor or
subordination agreement pursuant to which claims of other creditors of Pledgor,
any other Portfolio Entity or any other Person are subordinated to the claims of
Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents; or

            23.8  Apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any
amounts owing pursuant to the Credit Documents by Pledgor, any other Portfolio
Entity or any other Person to Administrative Agent in such manner as
Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion in accordance with the
Credit Documents;

then, subject to Section 16 hereof, neither Administrative Agent nor any Bank
shall incur any liability to Pledgor pursuant hereto as a result thereof and no
such action shall impair or release the obligations of Pledgor under this
Agreement.

      24.   DELIVERY OF COLLATERAL. All certificates or instruments representing
or evidencing the Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of
Administrative Agent pursuant hereto. All such certificates or instruments shall
be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly
executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and
substance acceptable to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall have
the right, at any time in its discretion and without prior notice to Pledgor,
following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to
transfer to or to register in the name of Administrative Agent or any of its
nominees any or all of the Collateral and to exchange certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or
instruments of smaller or larger denominations; provided that Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of any such transfer or registration; but
the failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate the effectiveness of
such transfer or registration provided, further, that once such Event of Default
has been cured, Administrative Agent will promptly transfer to or register in
the name or cause its nominees to transfer to or register in the name Pledgor
all such Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor shall further
execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an ownership power in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto with respect to the ownership interest(s) of the
Pledged Portfolio Entity owned by Pledgor that are represented by certificates
or other instruments.

      25.   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, including all matters of
construction, validity, performance and the creation, validity, enforcement or
priority of the lien of, and security interests created by, this Agreement in or
upon the Collateral shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York,
without reference to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New


                                       17
<PAGE>   524
York General Obligations Law), except as required by mandatory provisions of law
and except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the lien and
security interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular
Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of
New York.

      26.   REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by
Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation of Pledgor, the Member or any Portfolio
Entity (including the Pledged Portfolio Entity) or upon the dissolution of, or
appointment of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official
for, Pledgor, the Member or any Portfolio Entity (including the Pledged
Portfolio Entity) or any substantial part of Pledgor's, the Member's or any
Portfolio Entities' (including the Pledged Portfolio Entity's) assets, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

      27.   SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if
any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect
only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall
not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or
any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

      28.   SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. All agreements, representations and
warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans and extensions of
credit thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law
to the contrary, the agreements, representations and warranties of Pledgor set
forth herein shall terminate only upon payment of the Obligations, and the
termination of all Commitments and other obligations of the Banks under the
Credit Documents.

      29.   HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

      30.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with any other agreement
executed in connection herewith, is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and is intended as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions thereof.

      31.   TIME. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

      32.   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.

      33.   ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event any legal action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, any of the remedies provided for herein or at
law) is commenced to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any provision
hereof, unless Pledgor is the prevailing party, Pledgor shall indemnify each of
Administrative Agent and the Banks for their reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses incurred therein, and if a judgment or award is entered
in any such


                                       18
<PAGE>   525
action or proceeding, such reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses may be made a part of such judgment or award.

      34.   CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Banks and Pledgor agree that any legal
action or proceeding by or against Pledgor or with respect to or arising out of
this Agreement, or any other Credit Document or Security Document may be brought
in or removed to the courts of the State of New York, in and for the County of
New York, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, as Administrative Agent may elect. By execution and delivery of the
Agreement, the Banks and Pledgor accept, for themselves and in respect of their
property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. The Banks and Pledgor irrevocably consent to the service of process out
of any of the aforementioned courts in any manner permitted by law. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of Administrative Agent to bring legal action or
proceedings in any other competent jurisdiction, including judicial or
non-judicial foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, service of process
shall not be deemed served or mailed to Administrative Agent or the Banks until
a copy of all matters to be served have be mailed to Latham & Watkins, 701 B
Street, Suite 2100, San Diego, California 92101, Attn: Andrew Singer or such
other Person as Administrative Agent or the Banks may hereafter designate by
notice given pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement. The Banks and
Pledgor further agree that the aforesaid courts of the State of New York and of
the United States of America shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to
any claim or counterclaim of Pledgor based upon the assertion that the rate of
interest charged by the Banks on or under this Agreement, the Loans and/or the
other Credit Documents is usurious. The Banks and Pledgor hereby waive any right
to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with any or
all of the Project, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or Security
Document brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of forum
non-conveniens.

      35.   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. PLEDGOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY WAIVE
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED
UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED
FUTURE DEALINGS. PLEDGOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT
THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION

provided, that Payor may make payments to Payee at any time or times when Payor

Payor is a party which are then due and payable; provided, further, that all
such payments shall be received by Payee subject to the provisions of the Credit
Documents. Notwithstanding any right of Payee to ask, demand, sue for, take or
receive any payment from Payor, all rights, liens and security interests of
Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of
Payor shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of Administrative Agent
in those assets.

            If all or any part of the assets of Payor, or the proceeds thereof,

Documents to which Payor is a party, due or to become due, until such
Obligations shall have first been fully performed and paid. Payee irrevocably
authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent to demand, sue for, collect and
receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to
make and present for and on behalf of Payee such proofs of claim and take such
other action, in Administrative Agent's own name or in the name of Payee or
otherwise, as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the
enforcement of this Portfolio Entity Note. Administrative Agent may vote such
proofs of claim in any such proceeding, receive and collect any and all
dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in
whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of
any of Payor's Obligations pursuant to the Credit Documents to which Payor is a
party.

[IF CONTRACT ENTERED INTO BY AN EQUIPMENT FINANCE COMPANY, THIS RECITAL AND
OTHER RELEVANT PROVISIONS TO BE AMENDED ACCORDINGLY]

                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW THEREFORE, the Undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

         1. The Undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Security Agreement and
consents to the Owner's transfer, assignment, grant of a security interest and
all other provisions described therein, and agrees with Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Banks as follows:

                  (a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated)
to exercise all rights and to cure any defaults of Owner under the Contract.
Upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent, the Undersigned agrees to
accept such exercise and cure by Administrative Agent and to render all
performance due by it under the Contract and this Consent to the Banks. The
Undersigned agrees to make all payments to be made by it under the Contract
directly to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks upon receipt of
Administrative Agent's written instructions.

                  (b) The Undersigned will not, without the prior written
consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld),
(i) cancel or terminate the Contract or suspend performance of its services
thereunder except as provided in the Contract and in accordance with paragraph
1(c) hereof, or consent to or accept any cancellation, termination or suspension
thereof by Owner, (ii) sell, assign or otherwise dispose (by operation of law or
otherwise) of any part of its interest in the Contract, or (iii) amend or modify
the Contract in any material respect. The Undersigned agrees to deliver
duplicates or copies of all notices of default delivered under or pursuant to
the Contract to Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof.

                  (c) The Undersigned will not terminate the Contract on account
of any default or breach of Owner thereunder without written notice to
Administrative Agent and first providing to Administrative Agent (i) thirty (30)
days from the date notice of default or breach is delivered to Administrative
Agent to cure such default if such default is the failure to pay amounts to the
Undersigned which are due and payable under the Contract or (ii) a reasonable
opportunity, but not fewer than ninety (90) days, to cure such breach or default
if the breach or default cannot be cured by the payment of money to the
Undersigned so long as Administrative Agent or its designee shall have commenced
to cure the breach or default within such ninety (90)-day period and thereafter
diligently pursues such cure to completion and continues to perform any monetary
obligations under the Contract


                                       2
<PAGE>   539

and all other obligations under the Contract are performed by Owner or
Administrative Agent. If possession of the Project is necessary to cure such
breach or default, and Administrative Agent or its designee(s) or assignee(s)
declare Owner in default and commence foreclosure proceedings, Administrative
Agent or its designee(s) or assignee(s) will be allowed a reasonable period to
complete such proceedings. If Administrative Agent or its designee(s) or
assignee(s) are prohibited by any court order or bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings from curing the default or from commencing or prosecuting
foreclosure proceedings, the foregoing time periods shall be extended by the
period of such prohibition. The Undersigned consents to the transfer of Owner's
interest under the Contract to the Banks or any of them or a purchaser or
grantee at a foreclosure sale by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure and sale or
by a conveyance by Owner in lieu of foreclosure and agrees that upon such
foreclosure, sale or conveyance, the Undersigned shall recognize the Banks or
any of them or other purchaser or grantee as the applicable party under the
Contract (provided that such Banks or purchaser or grantee assumes the
obligations of Owner under the Contract).

                  (d) In the event that the Contract is rejected by a trustee or
debtor-in-possession in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or if the
Contract is terminated for any reason other than a default which could have been
but was not cured by Administrative Agent as provided in paragraph 1(c) above,
and if, within forty-five (45) days after such rejection or termination, the
Banks or their successors or assigns shall so request, the Undersigned will
execute and deliver to the Banks a new Contract, which Contract shall be on the
terms and conditions as the original Contract for the remaining term of the
Contract before giving effect to such termination.

                  (e) In the event the Banks or their designee(s) or assignee(s)
elect to perform Owner's obligations under the Contract or to enter into a new
Contract as provided in subparagraph (c) or (d) respectively above, the Banks,
their designee(s) and assignee(s), shall have no personal liability to the
Undersigned for the performance of such obligations, and the sole recourse of
the Undersigned in seeking the enforcement of such obligations shall be to such
parties' interest in the Project.

                  (f) In the event the Banks or their designee(s) or assignee(s)
succeed to Owner's interest under the Contract or enter into a new Contract, the
Banks or their designee(s) or assignee(s) shall cure any defaults for failure to
pay amounts owed under the Contract, but shall not otherwise be required to
perform or be subject to any defenses or offsets by reason of any of Owner's
other obligations under the Contract that were unperformed at such time. The
Banks shall have the right to assign all or a pro rata interest in the Contract
or a new Contract entered into pursuant to subparagraph (d) to [IF CONSENT
RELATED TO A FUNDED PROJECT: a person or entity to whom the Project is
transferred][IF CONSENT RELATED TO A TURBINE FUNDING: any person or entity],
provided such transferee assumes the obligations of Owner (or the Banks) under
the Contract. Upon such assignment, Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the
Banks (including their Administrative Agents and employees) shall be released
from any further liability thereunder to the extent of the interest assigned.

                  (g) The warranties provided by the Undersigned under the
Contract shall continue in full force and effect (until the expiration of the
warranty periods set forth in the


                                       3
<PAGE>   540

Contract) in the event that the Banks or their designee(s) or assignee(s)
succeed to Owner's interest in the Contract (whether by foreclosure, sale or
other assignment) and upon the further assignment or sale of the Contract by the
Banks or their designee(s) or assignee(s).

                  [(h) The Undersigned hereby assigns to Owner (and Owner's
assigns) all its interest in any subcontracts and purchase orders in excess of
$____________ now existing or hereinafter entered into by the Undersigned for
performance of any part of the Undersigned's obligations under the Contract (the
"Subcontracts"). Such assignment shall be effective only upon the occurrence of
a breach or default (after the expiration of any applicable cure period) by the
Undersigned under the Contract or upon the termination of the Contract, and then
only as to those Subcontracts which Owner (or its assigns) at such time accepts
in writing. The Undersigned hereby further assigns to Owner (and Owner's
assigns) all of its rights with respect to any warranties under all
Subcontracts. Each Subcontract hereinafter entered into by the Undersigned shall
contain a consent by the subcontractor thereunder to the foregoing assignments
set forth in this Section 1(h).]

         2. The Undersigned hereby represents and warrants that:

                  (a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Undersigned
of the Contract and this Consent has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, and does not and will not require any further consents or
approvals which have not been obtained, or violate any provision of any law,
regulation, order, judgment, injunction or similar matters or breach any
agreement presently in effect with respect to or binding on the Undersigned;

                  (b) This Consent and the Contract are legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Undersigned, enforceable against the Undersigned in
accordance with their respective terms;

                  (c) All government approvals necessary for the execution,
delivery and performance by the Undersigned of its obligations under the
Contract have been obtained and are in full force and effect;

                  (d) As of the date hereof, the Contract is in full force and
effect and has not been amended, supplemented or modified;

                  (e) Owner has fulfilled all of its obligations under the
Contract, and there are no breaches or unsatisfied conditions presently existing
(or which would exist after the passage of time and/or giving of notice) that
would allow the Undersigned to terminate the Contract; and

                  (f) The Contract constitutes the only agreement between the
Undersigned and Owner with respect to the matters and interests described
therein.

         3. [THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT OWNER HAS SUCCEEDED BY ASSIGNMENT
TO THE INTERESTS, RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF ______________
IN THE CONTRACT, AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO SUCH ASSIGNMENT.]

                             INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

      Defined terms used in this Exhibit K not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October
16, 2000, by and among Calpine Construction Finance Company II, LLC., a Delaware
limited liability company ("Borrower"), Credit Suisse First Boston, as Lead

      1. With respect to each Project having Initial Contributions, Funded
Project and Funded Turbine, Borrower shall, without cost to the Banks, maintain
or cause to be maintained on its behalf in effect at all times the types of
insurance required by the following provisions together with any other types
of insurance, in form acceptable to Administrative Agent, required hereunder,
with insurance companies rated "A-" or better, with a minimum size rating of
"IX," by Best's Insurance Guide and Key Ratings, (or an equivalent rating by
another nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if
Best's Insurance Guide and Key Ratings shall no longer be published) or other
insurance companies of recognized responsibility satisfactory to Administrative
Agent, the following insurance coverages until all obligations of Borrower and
the other Portfolio Entities pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other
Credit Documents have been fully discharged:

            a. Commercial general liability insurance for such Project on an
"occurrence" policy form or AEGIS claims-first-made form, including coverage for
premises/operations, explosion, collapse and underground hazards,
products/completed operations, broad form property damage, blanket contractual
liability for both oral and written contracts, independent contractor's and
personal injury, for the appropriate Portfolio Entities and for contractors,
with primary coverage limits of no less than $1,000,000 for injuries or death
to one or more persons or damage to property resulting from any one occurrence
and a $1,000,000 annual aggregate limit.

            The commercial general liability policy shall also include a
severability of interest clause and a cross liability clause in the event more
than one entity is "named insured" under the liability policy. Policy exclusions
which are not standard to the commercial general liability coverage form or are
added by manual endorsements or are proposed to be added after the Funding Date
for each Funded Project, that restrict coverage, are to be approved by
Administrative Agent. Work performed by others for the


                               Exhibit K - page 1
<PAGE>   589
appropriate Portfolio Entities at any such Project shall not commence until a
certificate of insurance has been delivered verifying coverages outlined above
to be in place and naming Borrower and the other applicable Portfolio Entities
as insured or additional insured and Administrative Agent as additional insured.
Deductibles in excess of $50,000 shall be subject to review and approval by
Administrative Agent.

            b. Automobile liability insurance, including coverage for owned,
non-owned and hired automobiles for both bodily injury and property damage and
containing appropriate no-fault insurance provisions or other endorsements in
accordance with state legal requirements, with limits of no less than
$1,000,000 per accident with respect to bodily injury, property damage or death.

            c. Worker's compensation insurance and employer's liability
insurance, with a limit of not less than $1,000,000, disability benefits
insurance and such other forms of insurance which Borrower or the other
applicable Portfolio Entities are required by law to provide for any such
Project, providing statutory benefits and other states' endorsement and USL&H
Act coverage and Jones Act (if any exposure exists), covering loss resulting
from injury, sickness, disability or death of the employees of Borrower and the
other applicable Portfolio Entities. Work performed by others for any Portfolio
Entity at any such Project shall not commence until a certificate of insurance
has been delivered verifying coverages outlined above to be in place.

            d. From the point of groundbreaking for each Project and through the
date of Completion for such Project, builder's risk insurance covering each such
Project separately on an "all risk basis" on a completed value form with
"extended coverage" (including earthquake (subject to the next paragraph),
flood, collapse, sinkhole and subsidence) and "soft cost coverage" on a no
coinsurance basis and providing (i) coverage for such Project site, including
removal of debris, insuring the buildings, structures, machinery, equipment,
facilities, fixtures and other properties constituting a part of each such
Project in a minimum aggregate amount not less than the full replacement value
of each such Project, and in any case subject to a construction term aggregate
limit of $100,000,000 for flood coverage and for earthquake coverage, but in no
event an amount less than the limit necessary to satisfy the other related
Project contracts; (ii) off-site coverage with a per occurrence limit of
$5,000,000 or such higher amount as is sufficient to cover off-site equipment
associated with such Project; (iii) transit coverage with a per occurrence limit
of not less than the greater of $5,000,000 or an amount sufficient to cover the
full insurable value of any item in transit; (iv) coverage for operational
testing and startup with the same dollar coverage and modifications as set out
in (i) above; (v) delay in opening coverage for interest during construction,
debt service and continuing expenses in an amount not less than an 18 month
indemnification period limit, on an "all risk" basis, as set forth in (i)
through (iv) above. Builder's risk insurance shall not contain an exclusion for
freezing, mechanical breakdown, or resultant damage caused by faulty
workmanship, design or materials and shall remain in effect until replaced by
property insurance coverage and boiler and machinery coverage as specified


                               Exhibit K - page 2
<PAGE>   590
in Section I(e) below. All such policies may have deductibles of not greater
than $250,000 per loss; earthquake and flood coverage shall have a deductible of
not greater than $250,000 with the exception of California earthquake (for which
the deductible may be 5% of values at risk), coastal windstorm (2% deductible)
and any such Project located in a 100 year flood zone ($500,000 deductible); and
delay in opening coverage shall have a deductible not greater than a 45 day
period; operational testing shall have a deductible of not greater than
$750,000; and transit coverage shall have a deductible of not greater than
$100,000. Builders risk policy shall include first party cleanup, hazardous
materials, subject to a sublimit of $250,000.

            At least 45 days prior to the shipment of equipment for any Project
or Funded Turbine manufactured outside the United States, ocean cargo coverage
shall be secured in an amount not less than the full replacement costs of the
value of equipment shipped. Such coverage shall apply to all equipment which is
valued in excess of $500,000 and has a lead time to replace exceeding five (5)
months. The ocean cargo policy shall attach coverage prior to equipment
departing the premises of the manufacturer and shall continue in force until the
shipment arrives at the applicable Project site including 60 days storage, or is
insured under the builders risk policy. Marine delay in opening or advanced loss
of profits shall be insured in an amount not less than the equivalent of
interest during construction, debt service and continuing expenses subject to an
indemnification period not less than twelve months or such additional time
required to repair/replace the equipment being shipped. The waiting period shall
not exceed 45 days. The ocean cargo policy shall not be subject to cancellation
with the exception of wars and strikes preventing passage to the United States
and nonpayment of premium.

            Earthquake coverage shall include coverage for movement,
earthquakes, shocks, tremors, landslides, subsidence, volcanic activity,
sinkhole coverage, mud-flow or rock-fall, or any other earth movement, all
whether direct or indirect, approximate or remote or in whole or in part caused
by, contributed to or aggravated by any physical damage insured against by such
policy regardless of any other cause or event that contributes, concurrently or
in sequence, to the loss.

            Flood coverage shall include, but not be limited to, coverage for
waves, tide or tidal water, inundation, rainfall and/or resulting runoff or the
rising (including the overflowing or breaking boundaries) of lakes, ponds,
reservoirs, rivers, harbors, streams, or other bodies of water, whether or not
driven by wind.

            e. From and after the date of Completion for each such Project, "all
risk" property insurance coverage in the amount not less than the full
replacement value of such Project, including a full replacement cost endorsement
(no co-insurance) with no deduction for depreciation, providing, without
limitation, (i) coverages against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm,
hail, explosion, riot, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, other risks
from time to time included under "all risk" or "extended coverage" policies,
earthquake, flood (provided, however, that earthquake and


                               Exhibit K - page 3
<PAGE>   591
flood coverage may be subject to an annual aggregate limit of not less than
$100,000,000 with the exception of California (for which the limit shall be as
agreed to by Administrative Agent and Borrower and which in Administrative
Agent's reasonable discretion, after consultation with the Banks, is
commercially feasible), collapse, sinkhole, subsidence and such other perils as
Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Banks and Borrower, may from
time to time require to be insured, with a sublimit of not less than $250,000
for on-site clean-up required as a result of the occurrence of an insured risk;
(ii) off-site coverage with a per occurrence limit of $2,000,000 or such higher
amount as is sufficient to cover off-site equipment for which there have been
progress payments; (iii) transit coverage (including ocean cargo where ocean
transit will be required) with a per occurrence limit of not less than
$2,000,000; and (iv) boiler and machinery coverage on a "comprehensive" basis
including breakdown and repair with limits not less than the full replacement
cost of the insured objects. Property insurance coverage shall not contain an
exclusion for freezing, mechanical breakdown or resultant damage caused by
faulty workmanship, design or materials. Borrower shall also maintain or cause
to be maintained with respect to each such Project, from and after the date of
Completion of such Project, business interruption insurance on an "all risk"
basis as set forth in (i) through (iv) above, in an amount equal to satisfy
policy coinsurance conditions, but not less than the sum of 12 months scheduled
Debt Service attributable to such Project, continuing expenses and profits.
Borrower shall also maintain or cause to be maintained, expediting or extra
expense coverage in an amount not less than $3,000,000. Borrower shall also
maintain or cause to be maintained with respect to each such Project contingent
business interruption insurance on a blanket basis in an amount not less than
six months scheduled Debt Service attributable to such Project and continuing
expenses and profits of such Project. The policy/policies shall include
increased cost of construction coverage, debris removable, and building
ordinance coverage to pay for loss of "undamaged" property which may be required
to be replaced due to enforcement of local, state, or federal ordinances subject
to a sublimit of $10,000,000. All such policies may have deductibles of not
greater than $250,000 per loss with the exception of the combustion turbine
($1,000,000); windstorm if located in a coastal area (2%), earthquake if located
in California (for which the deductible may be 5% of values at risk) and flood
if located in a 100 year zone ($500,000); business interruption coverage shall
have a waiting period of not greater than 45 days. In the event the all risk
property and the boiler and machinery coverage are not written in the same
policy, each policy shall be endorsed to provide a joint loss agreement.

            f. Umbrella/excess liability insurance of not less than
$50,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate during the construction and the
operation of each such Project. Such coverages shall be on a per occurrence
policy form or AEGIS claims-first-made form and over and above coverage provided
by the policies described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above whose limits
shall apply toward the $50,000,000 limits set forth in this section. The
umbrella and/or excess policies shall not contain endorsements which restrict
coverages as set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, and which are
provided in the underlying policies. The limit applying for each such


                               Exhibit K - page 4
<PAGE>   592
Project can be satisfied by insuring multiple Projects under one policy subject
to a per Project aggregate endorsement. If the policy or policies provided under
this paragraph contain(s) aggregate limits applying to other operations of
Borrower, the other applicable Portfolio Entities, the Contractor or the
Operator other than with respect to each individual Project, and such limits are
diminished below $25,000,000 by any incident, occurrence, claim, settlement or
judgment against such insurance which has caused the carrier to establish a
reserve, Borrower shall take or cause immediate steps be taken to restore such
aggregate limits or shall provide other equivalent insurance protection for such
aggregate limits.

            g. Watercraft liability and protection and indemnity, to the extent
exposure exists, in an amount not less than $10,000,000 for all owned, non-owned
and hired watercraft used in connection with the construction and operation of
each such Project. Such coverage can be accomplished under policies provided
pursuant to general liability policies, protection and indemnity policies or
separate watercraft liability policies.

            h. Aircraft liability, to the extent exposure exists, in an amount
not less than $10,000,000 for all owned, non-owned and hired aircraft, fixed
wing or rotary, used in connection with the operation of each such Project.

            i. Such other or additional insurance (as to risks covered, policy
amounts, policy provisions or otherwise) as, under Prudent Utility Practices,
are from time to time insured against for property and facilities similar in
nature, use and location to the Funded Projects which Administrative Agent may
reasonably require.

            j. All Major Contractors and Major Subcontractors and the Operator
(unless covered under the applicable Portfolio Entities' insurances) at each
such Project shall, prior to performing work at each such Project site, supply
proper evidence of insurance as set forth in paragraphs 1.a., 1.b., and 1.c.
above. In addition, excess liability or umbrella liability limits of not less
than $5,000,000 for Major Contractors and Major Subcontractors and Operators
shall be certified. Such insurance, with the exception of workers compensation,
supplied by these parties shall:

            (i)   add Borrower, applicable Portfolio Entities, Administrative
                  Agent and the Banks, as additional insureds;

            (ii)  be primary as respects insurance provided by Borrower,
                  applicable Portfolio Entities and Administrative Agent,

            (iii) waive rights of subrogation against Borrower, applicable
                  Portfolio Entities and Administrative Agent;

            (iv)  continue in force until obligations of Contractors and
                  Subcontractors or the Operator are fulfilled at each such
                  Project.


                               Exhibit K - page 5
<PAGE>   593
            Contractors and Subcontractors shall be responsible for tools and
equipment brought onto each Project site unless such tools and equipment are
financed by one of the Portfolio Entities; all such financed tools and equipment
shall be covered under the builders risk policy.

            2. All insurance coverage shall be on a "no coinsurance or self
insurance/replacement cost" basis and in such form (including the form of the
loss payable clauses) as shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent (which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld). Borrower shall submit certified
copies of all policies received pursuant to the requirements of this Exhibit to
Administrative Agent for its review and approval.

            3. All policies wherein the Banks party to this Agreement have an
insurable interest shall insure the interests of the Banks as well as Borrower
and/or the other applicable Portfolio Entities and all policies, with the
exception of workers compensation insurance, and shall name Administrative Agent
and the Banks as additional insured, unless Administrative Agent and/or the
Banks are named as an insured under the policy. All policies covering real or
personal property or business interruption shall name Administrative Agent or
its assigns as First Loss Payee in accordance with Lender's Loss Payable
Endorsement 438 BFU or equivalent and shall provide that any payment thereunder
for any loss or damage with respect to the applicable Project shall be made to
Administrative Agent and paid into the Loss Proceeds Account, except that such
policies may provide that any payments of less than $1,000,000 (not to exceed
$2,000,000 in any year) made in respect of any single casualty or other
occurrence may be paid solely to Borrower, unless Administrative Agent shall
have notified the insurer that an Event of Default or a related Non-Fundamental
Project Default has occurred there under and shall be continuing. Upon payment
and satisfaction of all of Borrower's and the other Portfolio Entities'
obligations under, and termination of, the Credit Documents, Administrative
Agent will instruct the insurers to name Borrower, or such successor credit
provider or other Person as Borrower shall specify, as loss payee. Each policy
shall expressly provide that all provisions thereof, except the limits of
liability (which shall be applicable to all insureds as a group) and liability
for premiums (which shall be solely a liability of the applicable Portfolio
Entities) shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy
covering each such insured. Each policy shall waive subrogation against
Administrative Agent, the Banks, Borrower and the other Portfolio Entities and
shall waive any right of the insurers to any setoff or counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of
Borrower, the other Portfolio Entities or the Banks. Each such policy shall
provide that if any premium or installment is not paid when due, or if such
insurance is to be cancelled, terminated or materially changed for any reason
whatsoever, the insurers (or their representatives) will promptly notify
Borrower and Administrative Agent, and any such cancellation, termination or
change shall not be effective until 30 days after receipt of such notice by
Administrative Agent, and that appropriate certification shall be made to
Borrower by


                               Exhibit K - page 6
<PAGE>   594
each insurer with respect thereto. Policies of insurance, provided in accordance
with this Exhibit K shall be primary with respect to any other insurance carried
by the Banks.

            4. In the event that any of the Portfolio Entities (or Contractor as
appropriate) fail to respond in a timely and appropriate manner (as reasonably
determined by Administrative Agent) to take any steps necessary or reasonably
requested by Administrative Agent to collect from any insurers for any loss
covered by any insurance required to be maintained by this Exhibit K,
Administrative Agent shall have the right to make all proofs of loss, adjust
all claims and/or receive all or any part of the proceeds of the foregoing
insurance policies, either in its own name or the name of the applicable
Portfolio Entities; provided, however, that the Portfolio Entities shall, upon
Administrative Agent's request and at the Portfolio Entities' own cost and
expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary or
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to collect from insurers for any
loss covered by any insurance required to be obtained by this Exhibit K.

            5. On or before December 30th of each year, Borrower shall furnish
to Administrative Agent, with a copy for each Bank, a certificate signed by a
Responsible Officer of Borrower or authorized insurance representative, showing
the insurance then maintained by or on behalf of the Portfolio Entities pursuant
to this Exhibit K and stating that such insurance complies in all material
aspects with the terms hereof, together with evidence of payment of the premiums
thereon. In the event that at any time the insurance as herein provided shall be
reduced or cease to be maintained, then (without limiting the rights of
Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of the Event of Default or a related
Non-Fundamental Project Default which arises as a result of such failure)
Administrative Agent may at its option maintain the insurance required hereby
and, in such event, Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand
for the cost thereof together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to
the Default Rate, but in no event shall the rate of interest exceed the maximum
rate permitted by law.

            6. In the event any insurance (including the limits or deductibles
thereof) hereby required to be maintained, other than insurance required by law
to be maintained and the builder's risk insurance described in paragraph l (d)
above, shall not be available and commercially feasible in the commercial
insurance market, Administrative Agent, with the approval of the Insurance
Consultant, shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to waive such
requirement to the extent the maintenance thereof is not so available; provided,
however, that (i) Borrower shall first request any such waiver in writing, which
request shall be accompanied by written reports prepared by an independent
insurance advisor of recognized national standing certifying that such insurance
is not reasonably available and commercially feasible in the commercial
insurance market for electric generating plants of similar type and capacity
(and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as
to the maximum amount which is so available) and explaining in detail the basis
for such conclusions, such insurance advisers and the form and substance of such
reports to be reasonably acceptable


                               Exhibit K - page 7
<PAGE>   595
to Administrative Agent; (ii) at any time after the granting of any such waiver,
Administrative Agent may request, and Borrower shall furnish to Administrative
Agent within 15 days after such request, supplemental reports reasonably
acceptable to Administrative Agent from such insurance advisers updating their
prior reports and reaffirming such conclusion; and (iii) any such waiver shall
be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be available and
commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market, it being understood
that the failure of Borrower to timely furnish any such supplemental report
shall be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective because
such condition no longer exists, but that such failure is not the only way to
establish such non-existence.

            7. The Portfolio Entities shall at all times maintain or cause to be
maintained the insurance coverage required under the terms of each of the
Project Documents to which they are a party. As a specific, limited exception to
the requirement that insurance be placed with companies of recognized
responsibility as described in 1. above, it is agreed that insurance may be
placed with other insurance companies or self-insured to the extent that the
Person first named insured on such policies of insurance or self-insuring shall
(i) maintain a S&P credit rating of BBB or better, (ii) comply with all other
requirements prescribed by this Schedule, (iii) maintain other insurance or
self-insurance that, in the aggregate, shall at no time exceed 1% of such
Person's net worth and (iv) the applicable Portfolio Entities shall provide
written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent along with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of appropriate
indemnification of the Portfolio Entities and the Banks by such Person.

            8. In the event that any policy is written on a "claims-made" basis
and such policy is not renewed or the retroactive date of such policy is to be
changed, Borrower shall obtain or cause to be obtained for each such policy or
policies the broadest basic and supplemental extended reporting period coverage
or "tail" reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such
policy or policies and shall provide Administrative Agent with proof that such
basic and supplemental extended reporting period coverage or "tail" has been
obtained.

as in effect on, the date hereof, the "Credit Agreement").

         B. The Transferor wishes to assign and sell certain rights and delegate
certain obligations with respect to the credit provided to Borrower pursuant to
the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Exposure"), and the Transferee wishes to
purchase and accept such rights and assume such duties, all as set forth below.

                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Definition and References. Capitalized terms not defined in this
Agreement shall have the meanings given in the Credit Agreement, and the Rules
of Interpretation attached as such to the Credit Agreement shall apply equally
to this Agreement. The term "assign" as used herein means, without limitation,
assign, delegate, transfer and sell; and the terms "assignment" and "assigned"
have corresponding meanings.

         2. Assignment.

                  2.1 The Transferor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the
Transferee, effective as of the Effective Date, a percentage of the outstanding

the Total Letter of Credit Commitment as set forth in Schedule 1, including such
percentage interest in and to all rights and obligations under the Credit

<PAGE>   597

Rate Agreements) (such transferred rights and obligations being referred to
herein as the "Interest"). The amount of outstanding Loans (including
Construction Loans and Turbine Purchase Loans) and aggregate Stated Amount of
all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit will, as of the Effective Date, be
as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto. On and after the Effective Date, the
Transferee shall have the same rights, benefits and obligations as the
Transferor had, as a Bank, under the Credit Agreement with respect to the
Interest, all determined as if the Transferee was a "Bank" originally named in
the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (other than the Interest
Rate Agreements) with respect to the Interest, and the Transferor shall be
irrevocably released from its obligations, liabilities and responsibilities with
respect to the Interest. The assignment to the Transferee hereunder shall
include the Transferee's Proportionate Share of all interest, fees and other
amounts owed by Borrower with respect to the Interest which accrue on and after
(but not before) the Effective Date.

                  2.2 The Transferee acknowledges and agrees that the assignment
hereunder is made entirely without recourse to the Transferor, and that, except
to the extent set forth in Section 6 below, the Transferor does not make any
representation or warranty of any kind to the Transferee and, in particular, the
Transferor shall not be responsible for (i) the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, value or sufficiency of the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the collectibility of the Interest,
(iii) any representation, warranty or statement made in or in connection with
any of the Credit Documents, (iv) the financial condition or creditworthiness of
Borrower or any guarantor or any affiliate, partner or shareholder of Borrower
or any guarantor, (v) the performance of or compliance with any of the terms or
provisions of any of the Credit Documents by Borrower or any other Person (other
than the Transferor), (vi) the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority,
condition, value or sufficiency of any documents granting the Transferor and the
other Banks a security interest in assets of Borrower (or any guarantor) or any
collateral securing or purporting to secure the Credit Exposure or any part
thereof, (vii) inspecting any of the property, books or records of Borrower or
any other Person, or (viii) providing any credit or other information concerning
the affairs of Borrower or any Person which may come into the possession of the
Transferor or any of its affiliates.

                  2.3 Except as expressly set forth in the Credit Agreement,
neither the Transferor nor any of its affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, agents or attorneys (collectively, the "Transferor Parties") shall be
liable for any mistake, error of judgment, or action taken or omitted to be
taken in connection with the Interest or the Credit Documents. Except as
expressly set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Transferor Parties shall incur
no liability hereunder to the Transferee by reason of the fact that the
Transferor is, or as a consequence of the Transferor's duties as, a Bank[, or in
the case of the Administrative Agent, Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agent,
Bookrunner or LC Bank, as Administrative Agent, Lead Arrangers, Syndication
Agent, Bookrunner or LC Bank,] under the Credit Agreement.

         3. Assumption and Agreement to be Bound. The Transferee hereby accepts,
effective as of the Effective Date, the assignment of rights and delegation of
obligations referred to in Section 2, and assumes and agrees to perform fully
all of the obligations of the Transferor under the Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents (other than the Interest Rate Agreements) with respect to
the Interest, including, without limitation, the obligation to fund the

                                       2

presently unfunded portion of the Interest subject to satisfaction of the
applicable conditions in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
The Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents (other than the Interest Rate
Agreements) as if it were a "Bank" originally named therein with respect to the
Interest.

         4. Notices. Notices shall be given under this Agreement in the manner
set forth in the Credit Agreement.

         5. Conditions Precedent. The Transferor's obligation to transfer the
Interest to the Transferee hereunder is expressly conditioned upon payment by
the Transferee to the Transferor of the amount set forth in Schedule 1.

of Borrower, its own credit and legal analysis of the Credit Documents and the
transactions described therein, and its own decision to purchase and accept the
Interest and to assume the duties and obligations of the Transferor with respect
to the Interest as set forth hereunder, and has done so independently and
without reliance on the Transferor, except that the Transferee has relied on the
Transferor's representations contained in Section 6.1 hereof; and

warranties to the Transferee with respect to the Interest except as set forth in

                MODIFIED CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL FUNDING

1. Joint Venture Projects. In the case of a Subsequent Project that is only

relevant Project Owner to grant a Lien on its interest in such Subsequent
Project in favor of the Banks pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) prohibiting
any of the other Joint Venturers from granting a Lien on or otherwise

originals of:

                  (i) Amendments, supplements or modifications to each of the

relevant Project/Turbine Owner Security Agreement, Equipment Finance Company
Security Agreement, Pledge Agreements (Pledged Equity Interests) and Deed of
Trust, the Lien on the Collateral comprising such Subsequent Project and the
ownership interests in the relevant Portfolio Entities shall not secure those

Exhibit E-1 or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the

Project Documents with respect to such Subsequent Project considered necessary
by the Technical Committee to subordinate certain O&M Costs that the relevant
Project Owner may incur pursuant to such Project Documents to the Obligations.
Such O&M Costs shall only include amounts payable to such Affiliate which do not
represent reimbursement of costs payable to third parties not Affiliates of
Calpine and shall be subordinated to the Obligations to the same extent as O&M
Costs are subordinated to the Obligations in the corresponding documents
furnished by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2.8 or otherwise to the extent
satisfactory to the Technical Committee.

         (b) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent the federal

Collateral in respect of such Subsequent Project (except as otherwise approved
by the Technical Committee, including all personal property comprising such
Subsequent Project) including, without limitation, to the extent necessary, the
execution, delivery and recordation of the Deed of Trust and fixture filings
with respect to such Subsequent Project in the appropriate locations, the filing
of UCC-1, UCC-2 or UCC-3 financing statements, as applicable, with respect to
such Collateral with the Secretary of State and/or other appropriate filing

respect to such Subsequent Project then in effect (including all the Major
Project Documents (other than Major Gas Supply Contracts (other than Gas Supply
Contracts with Affiliates of Borrower) and Major Power Purchase Agreements),
electric transmission and interconnection agreements and material water supply
agreements), and, in each case, any supplements or amendments thereto, and all
of which Project Documents shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of
Borrower as being true, complete and correct and in full force and effect on the
Funding Date and a Responsible Officer of Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative a certificate stating that neither the relevant Project Owner
nor, to Borrower's knowledge, any other party to any such Project Document is
or, but for the passage of time or giving of notice or both will be, in breach
of any material obligation thereunder, and that all conditions precedent to the
