case of Supplemental Rent, to whomever shall be entitled thereto as expressly
provided herein or in the Participation Agreement) an amount equal to each Rent
payment at the time and in the manner that such payment would have become due
and payable under the terms of this Lease if it had not been terminated in whole
or in part.
SECTION 5. Representations, Warranties and Agreements as to the
Equipment; Claims Against Contractors. (a) Representations, Warranties and
Agreements as to the Equipment. LESSEE REPRESENTS, WARRANTS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT (i) THE EQUIPMENT IS OF THE SIZE, DESIGN, CAPACITY AND MANUFACTURE
SELECTED BY LESSEE, (ii) LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR
ITS PURPOSES, (iii) LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER OR A DEALER IN PROPERTY OF SUCH
KIND AND (iv) THE EQUIPMENT IS LEASED HEREUNDER SUBJECT TO ALL APPLICABLE LAWS
AND GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS NOW IN EFFECT OR HEREAFTER ADOPTED AND IN THE STATE
AND CONDITION OF EVERY PART THEREOF WHEN THE SAME FIRST BECAME OR BECOMES
SUBJECT TO THIS LEASE, WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND BY ANY
PARTICIPANT, LESSOR OR INDENTURE TRUSTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE,
MERCHANTABILITY, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION,
FREEDOM FROM PATENT OR TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT DEFECTS OR
FITNESS FOR USE OF THE EQUIPMENT (OR ANY PART THEREOF), OR ANY OTHER
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE
EQUIPMENT (OR ANY PART THEREOF) except that Lessor hereby represents and
warrants that the Equipment shall be free of Lessor Liens. It is agreed that
except as expressly provided herein all
16
risks incident to the matters discussed in the preceding sentence, as between
any Participant, Lessor or Indenture Trustee, on the one hand, and Lessee, on
the other, are to be borne by Lessee. The provisions of this paragraph have been
negotiated, and, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, the foregoing
provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any
representations or warranties by any Participant, Lessor or Indenture Trustee,
express or implied, with respect to the Equipment, whether arising pursuant to
the Uniform Commercial Code or any similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
otherwise.
(b) Claims Against Contractors. Unless a Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Lessor agrees that Lessee shall have the benefit of and shall
be entitled to enforce, in its own name, any and all continuing obligations of
the Contractors under the Contracts and any and all claims for damages arising
from warranties (whether express or implied) of the Contractors for the
Equipment subject to this Lease at any time; provided, however, that any amount
recovered by Lessee or Lessor under any such warranty shall first be applied in
its entirety to cure, to the extent possible, or to reimburse Lessee for so
curing, any condition in respect of which such amount was recovered in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b), and any remainder shall be
used by Lessee during the remainder of the Lease Term to pay for maintenance and
repairs of, and for the replacement of Parts in, the Equipment in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7 (except that if an Event of Loss or Special
Event of Loss shall have occurred and be continuing any such amount shall be
applied against the Stipulated Loss Value or Net Stipulated Loss Value payable
under Section 12); provided further, however, that any amounts received under
any warranty involving a claim for damages in excess of $250,000 against any
Contractor shall be retained by Indenture Trustee and, unless a Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, be paid over to Lessee or as it may direct from
time to time to pay (or reimburse Lessee for) expenditures of the aforesaid
types, but only upon the written request of Lessee accompanied by appropriate
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Indenture Trustee that the sum
requested is a proper item of expenditure and has been paid or will be applied
to the payment of a sum then due and payable. Lessor agrees to execute and
deliver such further documents and take such further action, at Lessee's
expense, as may be necessary to enable Lessee to obtain such warranty service as
may be furnished for the Equipment by the Contractors for
17
the Equipment. Except as aforesaid, Lessor shall have no obligation or duty with
respect to any of such matters. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor and
Indenture Trustee of any default by itself or by any Contractor under any
Contract.
SECTION 6. Liens. Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Equipment,
the Easements, the Trust Estate or the Trust Indenture Estate, or title thereto
or any interest therein, except (a) Permitted Liens and (b) as provided in
Section 14(a). Lessee further agrees that it shall pay or cause to be paid on or
before the time or times prescribed by law (after giving effect to any
applicable grace period) any taxes, assessments, fees and charges imposed on the
Lessee (or any affiliated or related group, of which the Lessee is a member)
under the laws of any jurisdiction which, if unpaid, would result in any Lien
prohibited by the preceding sentence. Lessee shall promptly, at its own expense,
take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge or eliminate or bond in a
manner satisfactory to Lessor any Lien not excepted above if the same shall
arise at any time. Lessor shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action
as may be necessary duly to discharge or eliminate or bond any Lessor Lien on or
with respect to the Equipment, the Easements, the Trust Estate or the Trust
Indenture Estate, or title thereto or any interest therein.
SECTION 7. Operation; Maintenance; Alterations, Modifications and
Additions. (a) Operation. At all times during the Lease Term, Lessee, at its
expense, shall operate the Equipment in accordance with (i) the same standards
as Lessee would, in the prudent management of its own properties, observe in
operating similar equipment owned by Lessee, (ii) such operating standards as
shall be required to enforce warranty claims against Contractors for the
Equipment, (iii) the terms and conditions of all insurance policies in effect at
any time with respect to the Equipment or any part thereof and (iv) all
applicable requirements of law and of any governmental authority having
jurisdiction, except to the extent Section 7(j) shall apply.
(b) Maintenance. Lessee, at its expense, shall at all times during the
Lease Term maintain, service and repair the Equipment, or cause the same to be
maintained, serviced and repaired, to the same extent as Lessee would, in the
prudent management of its own properties, maintain, service and repair similar
equipment owned by Lessee, and in any event
18
(i) in accordance with all applicable requirements of law and of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction, except to the extent Section 7(j)
shall apply, (ii) to the extent required to maintain the Equipment in good
operating condition and (iii) to cause the Equipment to continue to have the
capacity and functional ability to perform, on a continuing basis (subject to
normal interruption in the ordinary course of business for maintenance, service,
repair and testing), in commercial operation, in accordance with the Descriptive
Warranty, the functions for which it was specifically designed in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications. Lessee shall also comply with such repair
standards and periodic maintenance inspections as shall be required to enforce
warranty claims against Contractors for the Equipment and any standards imposed
by any insurance policies in effect at any time with respect to the Equipment or
any part thereof.
(c) Replacement of Parts. Except after the occurrence of an Event of
Loss, Lessee, at its expense, shall (unless prohibited by applicable law or
regulation) promptly replace all necessary or useful appliances, parts,
instruments, appurtenances, accessories and miscellaneous equipment of whatever
nature (herein collectively referred to as "Parts") which may from time to time
be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Equipment and which may from
time to time fail to function in accordance with the Plans and Specifications
and the Descriptive Warranty or become worn out, destroyed, damaged beyond
repair, lost, condemned, confiscated, stolen or seized for any reason
whatsoever. Lessor hereby authorizes Lessee to order Parts as the agent, and in
the name of Lessor, but at the sole cost and expense of Lessee, and no supplier
or seller of such Parts shall have any claim against Lessor or any Participant
by virtue of such authorization by Lessor. In addition, in the ordinary course
of maintenance, service, repair or testing, Lessee may remove any Parts;
provided, however, that Lessee shall cause such Parts to be replaced as promptly
as practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens
except Permitted Liens and shall be in at least as good operating condition as,
and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced,
assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be
maintained by the terms hereof.
(d) Alterations Required by Law. Lessee, at its own expense, shall
make such alterations, modifications and
19
additions (herein for the purpose of this Section 7 collectively referred to as
"Alterations") to the Equipment as may be required from time to time to meet the
requirements of law or of any governmental authority having jurisdiction as soon
as practicable after any such requirements shall arise, except to the extent
Section 7(j) shall apply.
(e) Optional Alterations. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee, at its
own expense, may from time to time make such Alterations to the Equipment as
Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business; provided,
however, that no such alteration shall be made by Lessee without the prior
written consent of Lessor if (i) the cost of such Alteration shall exceed
$500,000, (ii) any Part incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Equipment as a result of such Alteration shall not be "readily removable" within
the meaning of Revenue Procedures 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, and 75-28, 1975-1 C.B.
752, as amended or supplemented from time to time, unless such Alteration
constitutes a "Nonseverable Improvement" which satisfies the conditions
specified in Section 3 of Revenue Procedure 79-48, 1979-39 I.R.B. 27, or (iii)
any such Part could not be removed from the equipment without materially
diminishing or impairing the value, utility or condition which the Equipment
would have had at such time had such Alteration not occurred.
(f) Title to Parts. Title to each Part (including any Alteration)
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Equipment pursuant to this
Section 7 shall without further act vest in Lessor and shall be deemed to
constitute a part of the Equipment and be subject to this Lease in the following
cases:
(A) such Part is in replacement of or in substitution for, and not in
addition to, any Part constituting a part of the Equipment at the time of
the acceptance thereof hereunder or any Part title to which shall have
vested in Lessor pursuant to this Section 7(f);
(B) such Part is required to be incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Equipment pursuant to the terms of Section 7(c) or 7(d); or
(C) such Part cannot be readily removed from the Equipment without
materially diminishing or impairing the value, utility or condition which
the Equipment would have had at such time had such Part not been so
incorporated or installed;
provided, however, that in the event any Part constituting a
20
Part of the Equipment shall be replaced by the Lessee with another Part which
shall restore the value, utility and condition of the Equipment to the value,
utility and condition of the Equipment immediately prior to such replacement
(assuming the Facility was in the condition and repair required to be maintained
by the terms hereof and of the Facilities Agreement) and shall meet the
requirements of Section 7(d), if applicable, then immediately upon such
replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Equipment, without further act, title to the replaced Part shall thereupon vest
in such Person as shall be designated by Lessee, free and clear of all rights of
Lessor; provided further, however, that all Parts owned by Lessor removed from
the Equipment shall remain the property of Lessor, no matter where located,
until such time as title to such Parts shall vest in Lessee pursuant to the
foregoing proviso.
(g) Reports of Alterations. On or before February 1 of each calendar
year and on the date on which the Lease Term shall expire, Lessee shall furnish
Lessor with a report describing in reasonable detail all Alterations involving,
in any case, a cost to Lessee in excess of $250,000 which have been made during
the period from the date of this Lease in the case of the first such report or
during the period from the last previous report in the case of all subsequent
reports.
(h) Removal of Parts. All Parts to which Lessee shall have title
pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(f), may, subject to Lessor's right to
use such Parts as provided in the Facilities Agreement and so long as such
removal shall be permitted by the Facilities Agreement and shall not result in
any violation of any law or governmental regulation and so long as no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, be removed at any time by Lessee and
shall be removed by Lessee prior to the delivery of the Equipment to Lessor in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease, other than upon the termination of
this Lease pursuant to Section 17, and title to such Parts shall at all times
remain in Lessee; provided, however, that Lessor shall have an option to
purchase for cash any such Parts owned by Lessee at the time of delivery of the
Equipment to Lessor in accordance with any of the provisions of this Lease. To
exercise such option, Lessor shall give to Lessee written notice of its election
to purchase within 90 days after such delivery. The purchase price of the Parts
shall be the fair market sales value thereof as of
21
the date of purchase as determined by mutual agreement. If Lessee and Lessor
shall be unable to agree upon the fair market sales value, such fair market
sales value shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure; provided, however,
that the fees and expenses relating to any appraisal for such purpose shall be
shared equally by Lessor and Lessee.
(i) Parts Free and Clear of Liens; Supplemental Indentures. Any Part
title to which shall vest in Lessor pursuant to Section 7(f), shall be free and
clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens existing with respect to the
Equipment immediately prior to the installation, incorporation or attachment of
such Part. If while the Indenture shall be in effect, any such Part or related
group of Parts having a cost (including installation) in excess of $250,000
shall so become part of the Equipment then, within 60 days after the completion
of installation thereof, Lessee shall prepare and, after execution thereof by
Lessor and Indenture Trustee, record such supplement to the Indenture and such
other instruments, and make such filings with respect thereto, as may be
necessary to confirm that such Part or Parts shall have become subject to the
Lien of the Indenture, subject only to Permitted Liens then existing with
respect to the Equipment, as additional security thereunder, and shall furnish
to each holder of a Secured Note and Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel
(who may be regularly employed by Lessee), in form and substance satisfactory to
a Majority in Interest of Secured Note Holders, stating that such Part or Parts
has been duly subjected to the Lien of the Indenture, and that all recordings,
filings or other action required or advisable to establish, perfect, protect and
preserve the Lien of the Indenture as a valid first mortgage lien and first
priority security interest of record in such Part or Parts, subject only to
Permitted Liens existing with respect to the Equipment immediately prior to the
installation, incorporation or attachment of such Part or Parts, have been duly
made or taken (specifying the same) and are in full force and effect, or stating
that no such instruments, recordings, filings or other action, as the case may
be, are required.
(j) Contest of Requirements of Law. If, to the extent and for so long
as (i) a test, challenge, appeal or proceeding for review of any applicable
requirement of law or of a governmental authority relating to the operation or
maintenance of the Equipment shall be prosecuted in good faith by Lessee or (ii)
compliance with such requirement
22
shall have been excused or exempted by a nonconforming use permit, waiver,
extension or forbearance believed in good faith by Lessee to excuse or exempt it
from such requirement, Lessee shall not be required to comply with such
requirement if but only if such test, challenge, appeal, proceeding or
noncompliance shall not involve any danger of (x) foreclosure, sale, forfeiture
or loss of, or imposition of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, any part
of the Facility or of impairment of the operation of the Facility or the
Equipment in any material respect (y) extending the ultimate imposition of such
requirement beyond the termination of the Basic Term or the Renewal Period then
in effect, as the case may be, or (z) any material liability on the part of
Lessor, Indenture Trustee, any Participant, the Trust Estate or the Trust
Indenture Estate.
SECTION 8. Identification. Lessee shall maintain in a prominent place
on each principal item of the Equipment subject to this Lease throughout the
Lease Term plates bearing the inscription "FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OREGON, AS
TRUSTEE, OWNER-LESSOR" and, so long as the Equipment shall constitute a part of
the Trust Indenture Estate, the inscription "UNITED STATES NATIONAL BANK OF
OREGON, AS INDENTURE TRUSTEE, SECURED PARTY" in letters not less than one inch
in height. Except as above provided or as otherwise directed by Lessor, Lessee
shall not allow the name of any Person other than that of Lessee to be placed on
any part of the Equipment subject to this Lease as a designation that might
reasonably be interpreted as a claim of ownership or right to possession or use
thereof.
SECTION 9. Insurance. (a) Coverage. Lessee, at its expense, will
maintain with insurers qualified to do business in Oregon and approved as
provided in subsection (b) of this Section:
(i) insurance with respect to the Facility against loss or damage by
fire, lightning and other risks from time to time included under "extended
coverage" policies; provided, however, that the amount of such coverage
shall not in any event be less than the greater of (i) Stipulated Loss
Value or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Secured Notes at
the time outstanding, together with an amount equal to any Rent then due
and unpaid and an amount equal to the Basic Rent due at the next succeeding
Semiannual Rent Payment Date;
23
(ii) public liability, including blanket contractual, personal injury
and property damage, insurance applicable to the Facility in such amounts
as are usually carried by persons operating similar properties in the same
general region but in any event with a combined single limit of not less
than $25,000,000 per occurrence;
(iii) appropriate workers' compensation insurance (including
self-insurance) with respect to any work done or in operation of the
Facility; provided, however, that Lessee will maintain such excess workers'
compensation insurance as is usually carried by others operating similar
businesses and properties; and
(iv) such other insurance with respect to the Facility in such amounts
and against such insurable hazards as Lessor or Indenture Trustee from time
to time may reasonably request.
All the foregoing insurance policies shall be subject to such
deductible amounts and retentions as are usual and customary for companies
similarly situated; provided, however, that such deductible amounts and
retentions shall not exceed the following amounts specified with respect to such
policies:
(1) Fire and Extended Coverage.......................$ 500,000;
(2) Public Liability.................................$ 1,000,000; and
(3) Workers' Compensation Insurance..................$ 500,000;
provided further, however, that each such policy shall be in an amount
sufficient to prevent Lessor, Lessee or the Indenture Trustee from becoming a
coinsurer of any loss under such policy. Lessee agrees that all such insurance
may be maintained in effect for the term thereof by Lessor or Indenture Trustee,
at Lessee's cost and expense, if Lessee shall fail to do so.
(b) Approval of Insurers. On or prior to the First Closing Date,
Lessee shall obtain the approval by Lessor and Indenture Trustee (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the insurers with which the insurance
referred to in Section 9(a) shall be maintained. Thereafter, Lessee shall notify
Lessor and Indenture Trustee in writing at least 20 days prior to obtaining
coverage from any additional insurer or new insurer and Lessor and Indenture
Trustee shall
24
have the right to approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld)
any such insurer; provided, however, that, if Lessee shall not have received
notice of disapproval from Lessor or Indenture Trustee within 20 days of receipt
by them of such notice from Lessee, the insurer or insurers named therein shall
be deemed to be approved for purposes of this Section 9.
(c) Policy Provisions. All insurance (other than workers' compensation
insurance) maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 9(a) shall:
(i) specify Lessor, Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee, Loan
Participants and Lessee, as additional insureds, as their respective
interests may appear;
(ii) provide, except in the case of public liability insurance, that
all insurance proceeds for losses of less than $250,000 shall be adjusted
with and payable to Lessee, and that all insurance proceeds for losses of
$250,000 or more shall be adjusted with Lessor and Lessee jointly, and,
unless the Indenture shall have been satisfied and discharged, subject to
the approval of Indenture Trustee and payable to Indenture Trustee;
(iii) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for
insurance premiums against Lessor, Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee and
Loan Participants;
(iv) provide that any losses shall be payable notwithstanding
(1) any act of negligence, including any breach of any condition
or warranty in any policy of insurance, of Lessee, Lessor, Owner
Participant, Indenture Trustee or any Loan Participant,
(2) the occupation or use of the Facility for purposes more
hazardous than permitted by the terms of the policy,
(3) any foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale
relating to the Facility, or
(4) any change in the title to or ownership of any of the
Facility;
25
(v) provide that such insurance shall be primary insurance and that
the insurers under such insurance policies shall be liable under such
policies without right of contribution from any other insurance coverage
effected by Lessor or Owner Participant under any other insurance policies
with any other insurance companies covering a loss which is also covered
under the insurance policies maintained by Lessee pursuant to this Section
9;
(vi) provide that no cancelation or material change thereof shall be
effective until at least 30 days after receipt by Lessor and Indenture
Trustee of written notice thereof;
(vii) waive any right of subrogation of the insurers against Lessor,
Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee or any Loan Participant and 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 Lessor,
Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee or any Loan Participant; and
(viii) be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Indenture Trustee in
all other respects.
(d) Delivery of Policies. Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor and
Indenture Trustee certified copies of all insurance policies with respect to the
Facility which Lessee is required to maintain pursuant to this Section 9 (or
certificates thereof executed by the insurer or its duly authorized agent),
together with evidence as to the payment of all premiums then due thereon.
(e) Annual Insurance Report. As soon as practicable after the end of
each fiscal year of Lessee commencing with the 1979 fiscal year, and in any
event within 90 days thereafter, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Indenture
Trustee a report of a Responsible Officer setting forth the insurance obtained
by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9 and then in effect, and stating whether, in
the opinion of such officer, such insurance policies comply with the
requirements of this Section 9, that all premiums then due thereon have been
paid and that the same are in full force and effect. From time to time (not more
frequently than annually) upon the request of Lessor or Indenture Trustee,
Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Indenture Trustee a report by an inde-
26
pendent insurance broker or independent insurance consultant reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and Indenture Trustee, reviewing the most recent report
delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence and setting forth recommendations
of such independent insurance broker or independent insurance consultant as to
additional insurance, if any, reasonably required for the protection of the
respective interests of Lessor, Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee and Loan
Participants in the light of available insurance coverage and practice on
comparable equipment similarly situated.
(f) Payment of Proceeds. All insurance proceeds received by or payable
to Lessor or Indenture Trustee on account of any damage to or destruction of the
Facility or any part thereof (less the actual costs, fees and expenses incurred
in the collection thereof), other than any damage or destruction constituting an
Event of Loss, shall, unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be
paid over to Lessee or as it may direct from time to time as repair and
restoration progresses to pay (or reimburse Lessee for) the cost of repair and
restoration of the Facility, but only upon the written request of Lessee
accompanied by appropriate evidence satisfactory to Lessor and Indenture Trustee
that the sum requested is a proper item for such cost and has been paid or will
be applied to the payment of a sum then due and payable and receipt by Lessor
and Indenture Trustee of evidence satisfactory to them that such proceeds,
together with funds of Lessee available for the purpose, shall be sufficient to
complete repair and restoration of the Facility. Upon receipt by Indenture
Trustee and Lessor of evidence satisfactory to them that repair and restoration
has been completed and the cost thereof paid in full and that there are no
mechanics' or similar Liens for labor or materials supplied in connection
therewith, the balance, if any, of such proceeds shall, unless a Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, be paid over or assigned to Lessee or as it may
direct.
(g) Notice by Insurers. Lessee shall cause the insurers with which it
maintains insurance required by this Section 9 to advise Lessor and Indenture
Trustee in writing promptly of any act or omission on the part of Lessee of
which such insurer has knowledge which may invalidate or render unenforceable,
in whole or in part, any such insurance.
27
SECTION 10. Storage; Maintenance; Return of Equipment. Upon the later
of (a) final termination of the Lease Term (other than pursuant to Section
12(a), 20 or 21(a)) or (b) expiration of the term of the Facilities Agreement,
Lessee shall, if Lessor shall so request, permit the Equipment to remain in
place without charge to Lessor for a period (herein called the "Storage Period")
not to exceed one year following such final termination or expiration, as the
case may be. During the Storage Period, Lessee shall (i) service and maintain
the Equipment to the extent necessary to keep it in good condition and repair
and (ii) maintain insurance with respect to the Equipment requested by Lessor
(but not in excess of the amounts of insurance that would have been required
under Section 9 had it continued to be in effect). During the Storage Period
Lessee shall permit Lessor or its representatives to bring prospective
purchasers or lessees on the premises of the Lessee at reasonable times to
examine the Facility. Upon final termination of the Lease Term (other than
pursuant to Section 12(a), 20 or 21(a)) or upon expiration of the term of the
Facilities Agreement, or during the Storage Period or the term of the Facilities
Agreement subsequent to the Lease Term or upon expiration of the Storage Period,
as the case may be, Lessee shall on a single occasion, upon request of Lessor,
at Lessee's risk and expense, promptly dismantle and remove (with such care as
is consistent with the then condition and contemplated use thereafter of the
Equipment) all or a portion of the Equipment (exclusive of concrete
foundations), and cause such Equipment to be delivered to Lessor and loaded on
railroad cars at the nearest railroad siding, such Equipment to be in the same
condition and repair as when received by Lessee under this Lease, ordinary wear
and tear and dismantling excepted; provided, however, that Lessee shall have no
obligation to dismantle and remove any of the Equipment unless (i) Lessor shall
have first made a good faith effort without success to sell or lease the
Equipment at the Fair Market Sales Value or the Fair Market Rental Value, as the
case may be, and shall have afforded Lessee the opportunity to bid for such sale
or lease or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided
further, however, that, if (a) the request of Lessor pursuant to this Section 10
to dismantle and deliver such Equipment shall be made to Lessee after the
Equipment shall have been operated by a purchaser or lessee of the Equipment
(other than Lessee or any permitted assignee of Lessee pursuant to Section
14(a)), (b) Lessor or Indenture Trustee shall not have sold or leased the
Equipment pursuant to Section 17 hereof or Section 8 of the
28
Indenture and (c) all sums due and payable by Lessee under this Lease shall have
been paid, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for the actual costs incurred in
connection with such dismantling, removal and delivery of the Equipment as
herein above provided. Unless Lessor shall otherwise agree, the Equipment shall
not be deemed to have been returned to Lessor until (i) it is surrendered into
the possession of Lessor as provided above and (ii) the provisions of the
preceding sentence shall have been complied with and Lessee shall have given
Lessor written notice of such fact, and, until such time, all of the provisions
of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
SECTION 11. Financial Information. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor
(with copies sent by Lessee to each Participant):
(a) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of Lessee, a
consolidated balance sheet of Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries as
at the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statements of
income, retained earnings and changes in financial position for such fiscal
year, prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied (except as disclosed in the notes thereto) and
reported on by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Co., or other independent public
accountants of national standing,
(b) within 45 days after the end of each quarter (except the last
quarter) of each fiscal year of Lessee, a consolidated balance sheet of
Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and
the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and
changes in financial position for such quarter and for the period from the
beginning of such fiscal year to the end of such quarter, certified by a
Responsible Officer of Lessee,
(c) concurrently with the delivery each year of the annual audited
financial statements, a certificate of the independent public accountants
who audited such financial statements stating that in making the
examination necessary for the audit of such financial statements, they
obtained no knowledge of any default by Lessee in the observance,
performance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained herein or in any of the other Operative Documents,
29
or if they shall have obtained knowledge of any such default, specifying
the same,
(d) concurrently with the delivery each year of the annual audited
financial statements and each quarter of the unaudited financial
statements, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee stating that
such Officer has made or caused to be made under his supervision a review
of the transactions and condition of Lessee during the fiscal year or
quarter covered by such financial statements and that, based upon such
review and to the best of his knowledge, (i) no Default has occurred during
such fiscal year or quarter, as the case may be (or, if any Default shall
have occurred, specifying the nature and status thereof), and (ii) the
Equipment is in existence and in the condition required by this Lease, is
marked as required by Section 8 and is located at the Site,
(e) promptly after the same shall become available, a copy of each
report submitted to Lessee by its independent public accountants in
connection with any annual, interim or special financial audit made by such
accountants of the books of Lessee,
(f) promptly after the same shall become available, copies of all
proxy statements, financial statements and reports of Lessee sent by Lessee
to its shareholders, and all regular or periodic reports and any
prospectuses included in registration statements (other than on Form S-8 or
a similar form) filed by Lessee with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(or any successor agency) or any national securities exchange,
(g) promptly after any officer of Lessee obtains knowledge of the
occurrence of a Default, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee
specifying the nature of such condition or event, the period of existence
thereof, the action Lessee has taken or proposes to take with respect
thereto and the date, if any, on which it is estimated that such event or
condition shall be remedied or terminated,
(h) promptly after any officer of Lessee shall obtain knowledge that
any Person having the right to do so has given notice to Lessee or taken
any other action with respect to a claimed default or event of default
30
(as defined in the applicable instrument) in respect of any evidence of
indebtedness or other security of Lessee, written notice specifying the
nature of the notice or action taken by such Person and the nature of the
claimed default or event of default and what action Lessee is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto; provided, however, that such written
notice shall be required only if the aggregate amount of such indebtedness
or other securities relating to a claimed default or event of default shall
exceed $1,000,000, and
(i) with reasonable promptness, such other information relating to
Lessee as any Participant may from time to time reasonably request.
SECTION 12. Loss, Destruction, Condemnation or Damage. (a) Payment of
Stipulated Loss Value or Net Stipulated Loss Value Upon an Event of Loss or
Special Event of Loss. If an Event of Loss or Special Event of Loss shall occur,
Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and shall pay as
compensation for such Event of Loss or Special Event of Loss, as the case may
be, and in addition to Rent for the Interim Lease Period or Semiannual Lease
Period, as the case may be, ending on the date as of which Stipulated Loss Value
(or, in the case of a Special Event of Loss, the Net Stipulated Loss Value) is
determined, the Stipulated Loss Value (or, in the case of a Special Event of
Loss, the Net Stipulated Loss Value), determined (i) if the Event of Loss or
Special Event of Loss, as the case may be, shall have occurred during an Interim
Lease Period, as of the Interim Rent Payment Date on which such Period ends or
(ii) if the Event of Loss or Special Event of Loss, as the case may be, shall
have occurred during a Semiannual Lease Period, as of the Semiannual Rent
Payment Date on which such Period ends (the applicable date of determination
under the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) being hereinafter for the purposes of
this Section 12(a) referred to as the "Determination Date"). The Stipulated Loss
Value (or, in the case of a Special Event of Loss, the Net Stipulated Loss
Value) shall be paid to Lessor on the Determination Date, unless the Event of
Loss or Special Event of Loss, as the case may be, shall have occurred on, or
less than 30 days prior to, the Determination Date, in which case such payment
together with interest at the Stipulated Interest Rate from the Determination
Date, shall be made within 30 days of the date of such occurrence. Upon payment
in full of such Stipulated Loss Value (or, in the case of a Special Event of
Loss, the Net Stipulated Loss
31
Value), together with such interest, if any, and all Rent accrued to the
Determination Date (and, in the case of a Special Event of Loss, upon compliance
with the provisions of Section 12(e)), (i) the Lease Term shall end as of the
date of such payment and the obligations of Lessee hereunder (other than any
such obligations expressed herein as surviving termination of this Lease) shall
terminate as of the Determination Date and (ii) so long as no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee, without recourse or
warranty but free and clear of (x) Lessor Liens and (y) the Lien of the
Indenture (except in the circumstances contemplated by Section 12(e)), all
right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to the Equipment and in and to
any warranties of Contractors for the Equipment.
(b) Application of Other Payments Upon an Event of Loss. Any payments
received at any time by Lessor or by Lessee from any governmental authority or
other person (except Lessee) as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss
shall be applied as follows:
(i) all such payments received at any time by Lessee shall be promptly
paid to Lessor for application pursuant to the following provisions of this
Section 12(b), except that so long as no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lessee may retain any amounts which Lessor would at the time be
obligated to pay to Lessee as reimbursement under the provisions of clause
(ii) below;
(ii) so much of such payments as shall not exceed the amount required
to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 12(a) shall be applied in
reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay such amount if not already paid by
Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse Lessee
for its payment of such amount, unless a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and
(iii) if such payments shall exceed the aggregate of the amounts
payable pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) Lessee shall receive
an amount equal to (x) such excess multiplied by (y) a fraction the
numerator of which shall be the number of whole months remaining in the
Lease Term (without consideration of any extension, renewal or early
termination permitted hereby) as of the date of the Event of Loss and the
denominator of
32
which shall be the total number of whole months in the Lease Term similarly
computed, and Lessor shall receive the remainder of said excess, provided
that no payment shall be made under this clause while a Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.
(c) Application of Payments Not Relating to an Event of Loss. Unless a
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, payments received at any time by
Lessor or Lessee from any governmental authority or other Person with respect to
any loss, condemnation, confiscation, theft or seizure of, or requisition of
title to or use of, or damage to, the Equipment or any part thereof not
constituting an Event of Loss will be paid to or retained by Lessee and will be
applied as follows: first, directly in payment for repairs or replacement of the
Parts in respect of which such payment was received in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7 or 9(f), if not already paid for by Lessee, or, if
already paid for by Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse Lessee for such
payment; second, directly in payment for maintenance and repairs of, and for the
replacement of Parts in, the Equipment during the remainder of the Lease Term in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7; and third, the balance remaining,
if any, at the end of the Lease Term shall be retained by or paid over to Lessee
or as it may direct.
(d) Other Dispositions. So long as a Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, any amount payable to or for the account of, or to be retained
by, Lessee pursuant to this Section 12, shall be paid to Indenture Trustee as
security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and, at such time
thereafter as no Default shall be continuing, such amount shall be paid promptly
to Lessee unless Lessor shall have theretofore declared this Lease to be in
default pursuant to Section 17, in which event such amount shall be disposed of
by Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
(e) Assumption of Secured Notes Upon Special Event of Loss. If a
Special Event of Loss shall occur during the Interim Term or the Basic Term,
Lessee shall assume the obligations of Lessor under the Secured Notes and the
Indenture in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.15 of the
Indenture; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section
12(e) shall not apply if, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to a Majority
in Interest of Secured Note Holders, such assumption by Lessee would cause any
33
holder of a Secured Note to become subject to regulation under the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as
amended, or any other Federal or state law relating to public utilities or the
production, transmission or sale of energy and, in such event, the Special Event
of Loss in question shall be deemed to be and shall be treated as an Event of
Loss.
SECTION 13. No Interest Conveyed to Lessee. This Lease is an agreement
of lease and does not convey to Lessee any right, title or interest in or to the
Equipment except as a lessee. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an
election by Lessor to treat Lessee as having acquired the Equipment pursuant to
Section 48(d) of the Code, and neither Lessor nor Owner Participant shall make
such an election.
SECTION 14. Assignment and Sublease; Location. (a) Assignment and
Sublease. Except as otherwise provided herein, Lessee shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lessor, sublease the Equipment or any part thereof or
assign any of its rights hereunder or relinquish possession or use of the
Equipment or any part thereof to, or permit the Equipment or any part thereof to
be operated by, any other Person except
(i) a corporation which shall have assumed all the obligations of
Lessee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents and into which or
with which Lessee shall have merged or consolidated or which shall have
acquired all or substantially all the property of Lessee, in each case in
accordance with Article XIV of the Participation Agreement and all
applicable provisions of law; provided, however, that Lessee may, without
the prior written consent of Lessor, sublease the Equipment or relinquish
possession or use of the Equipment or any part thereof to, or permit the
Equipment or any part thereof to be operated by, an Affiliate of Lessee;
(ii) in the case of coal supplies located on the Site and intended to
be burned in the Plant, any field warehouseman or other similar custodian
in connection with financing such coal supplies under arrangements pursuant
to which employees of Lessee are directly (but not necessarily exclusively)
involved in such warehousing or storage operations as agents or employees
of the principals providing such financing;
34
(iii) the owner of the Plant at the time it is placed in service, or
of any undivided interest therein, or any lessee of the Plant at the time
it is placed in service or mortgagee of the Plant, or of any such undivided
interest, if such Person or Persons shall, in the case of any such use,
possession or sublease, agree in writing with Owner Trustee and Indenture
Trustee, in a manner satisfactory to Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee,
to abide by the provisions of this Lease relating to use, operation,
maintenance and repair of the Equipment and shall further agree that its
rights as sublessee or user are subject and subordinate to this Lease and
the Indenture; and
(iv) PNGC, to the extent that it shall make arrangements with IPCO for
use of the Facility after IPCO shall have exercised its rights under the
Assumption Agreement;
provided, however, that the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall not be
affected in any way by any of the aforesaid arrangements. Lessor shall not
assign or convey any of its right, title and interest in and to this Lease and
the Equipment except as contemplated by or provided in this Lease, the
Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Lease
Assignment and the Assumption Agreement. The rights and obligations of Lessor
and Lessee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the
permitted successors and assigns of Lessor and Lessee, respectively.
(b) Location. The Lessee shall not remove, or permit to be removed,
the Equipment or any Part, from the Site without the prior written consent of
Lessor, except that Lessee may remove (i) in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7(f) or 7(h), any Part with respect to which title has passed to or
remained with Lessee as provided in Section 7(f), (ii) the Equipment if title
thereto shall have passed to Lessee as provided in Section 12 or 20 or (iii) any
Part in accordance with the terms of Section 7(c).
SECTION 15. Inspection and Reports. (a) Condition and Operation. Any
Participant, Lessor and Indenture Trustee and their authorized representatives
may inspect, at their own expense, the Facility and the books and records of
Lessee relative thereto, and make copies and extracts therefrom, and may discuss
Lessee's affairs, finances and accounts with its officers and, in the presence
of any such officer,
35
with its independent public accountants, and Lessee shall furnish to Lessor
statements accurate in all material respects regarding the condition and state
of repair of the Facility, all at such times and as often as may be reasonably
requested. Neither any Participant, Lessor nor Indenture Trustee shall have any
duty to make any such inspection or inquiry or shall incur any liability or
obligation by reason of not making any such inspection or inquiry. To the extent
permissible, Lessee shall prepare and file in timely fashion, or, where Owner
Participant or Lessor shall be required to file, prepare and deliver to Owner
Participant or Lessor within a reasonable time prior to the date for filing, any
reports with respect to the condition or operation of the Equipment during any
period included in the Lease Term and the Storage Period which are required to
be filed with any Federal, state or other governmental or regulatory authority.
(b) Liability. Lessee shall give prompt written notice to each
Participant, Lessor, and Indenture Trustee of each accident likely to result in
damages, or claims for damages against Lessee, with respect to the Equipment in
excess of applicable insurance coverage and occurring in whole or in part
(whenever asserted) during the Lease Term or the Storage Period, in any way
relating to or arising out of the Operative Documents or the alleged or apparent
improper manufacture, financing, construction, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, acquisition, delivery, non delivery, lease, sublease, preparation,
installation, storage, maintenance, repair, transportation, transfer of title,
abandonment, possession, rental, use, operation, condition, sale,
transportation, return, importation, exportation or other disposition of the
Equipment or any portion thereof, promptly upon Lessee becoming aware of same,
and on request shall furnish to each Participant, Lessor and Indenture Trustee
information as to the time, place and nature thereof, the names and addresses of
the parties involved, any Persons injured, witnesses and owners of any property
damaged, and such other information as may be known to it, and shall promptly
upon request furnish each Participant, Lessor and Indenture Trustee with copies
of all correspondence, papers, notices and documents whatsoever received by
Lessee in connection therewith.
(c) Liens. Lessee shall promptly (and in no event later than 10
Business Days after it shall have obtained knowledge of the attachment of any
Lien which it shall be obligated to discharge or eliminate pursuant to Section
6)
36
notify each Participant, Lessor and Indenture Trustee of the attachment of such
Lien and the full particulars thereof unless the same shall have been removed or
discharged by Lessee.
(d) Annual Opinion of Counsel. Lessee shall, within 90 days after the
end of each of its fiscal years commencing with the 1979 fiscal year, furnish to
Lessor and Indenture Trustee, at Lessee's expense, an opinion of counsel for
Lessee (which may be regularly employed by Lessee), satisfactory to Lessor and
Indenture Trustee (in such number of counterparts as Lessor and Indenture
Trustee shall reasonably request), stating that all Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements, the Lease, the Indenture, the Facilities Agreement and
other documents (including any other Operative Documents), if any, necessary or
advisable to perfect or continue the perfection of Lessor's right, title and
interest (including any security interest which may be deemed to be created by
the Lease) in and to the Trust Estate, including any Parts incorporated or
installed therein or attached thereto and becoming part of the Equipment
pursuant to Section 7(c) or 7(d), and to perfect or continue the perfection for
the benefit of Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Secured Notes of a valid
first mortgage lien and first priority security interest in the Trust Indenture
Estate provided for in the Indenture, have been duly filed or recorded and
stating the requirements of applicable law with respect to the rerecording or
refiling of such documents in order to continue and preserve such right, title
and interest and such first mortgage lien and first priority security interest.
(e) Contracts. Lessee will keep copies of the Contracts available for
inspection by Owner Trustee at the principal office of Lessee and will promptly
furnish a copy of any thereof to Owner Trustee upon written request therefor.
(f) Notices of Noncompliance with Environmental Laws. Lessee shall
furnish to Lessor, within 30 days after receipt thereof, a copy of any notice or
order of any governmental authority asserting that Lessee is not in compliance
with any law or regulation relating to environmental matters applicable to the
Facility.
SECTION 16. Events of Default. The following events shall constitute
Events of Default (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or
come about or be
37
effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):
(a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent or Interim

aggregating more than $50,000 or (C) any amount due under any guarantee of
any of the obligations referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) or
(ii) in the performance or observance of any other obligation, covenant or
condition contained in any such obligation or guarantee or in any agreement
relating thereto, if the effect of any such default shall be to cause or

or trustee on behalf of such holder or holders) to cause, either
immediately or after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, such
obligation or guarantee to become due prior to its stated maturity;
(f) Lessee or any Significant Subsidiary shall consent to the

(g) Lessee or any Significant Subsidiary shall file a voluntary

material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee or any such
Significant Subsidiary in any such proceeding, or Lessee or any such
Significant Subsidiary shall by voluntary petition, answer or consent, seek

SECTION 17. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and
at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at
its option, by notice to Lessee and the Participants declare this Lease to be in
default, and at any time thereafter Lessor may do one or more of the following
with respect to the Equipment as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine:
(a) Lessor may (i) demand that Lessee, and Lessee shall upon the
written demand of Lessor, return the Equipment promptly to Lessor in the
manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all the
provisions of, Sections 7 and 10 as if the Equipment were being returned at
the end of the Lease Term and Lessor shall not be liable for the
reimbursement of Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by Lessee in
connection therewith and (ii) enter upon the premises where the Equipment
shall be located and take immediate possession of and remove the same by
summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to Lessee for or by
reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for the restoration
of damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise;
(b) Lessor may sell all or any part of the Equipment at public or
private sale, as Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use,
operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Equipment, as
Lessor may determine, all free and clear of any rights
40
of Lessee except as hereinafter set forth in this Section 17 and without
any duty to account to Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or
any proceeds with respect thereto; provided, however, that any such sale
of other disposition shall be made in compliance with any mandatory
provisions of applicable law which may not be waived;
(c) Lessor may, whether or not Lessor shall have exercised or shall
thereafter at any time exercise any of its rights under subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section 17 with respect to the Equipment, demand, by written
notice to Lessee specifying a payment date which shall be an Interim Rent
Payment Date or a Semiannual Rent Payment Date not earlier than 10 days
after the date of such notice, that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall
pay to Lessor, on the Interim Rent Payment Date or Semiannual Rent Payment
Date, as the case may be, specified in such notice, as liquidated damages
for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Rent for the
Equipment for the balance of the Lease Term remaining after the payment
date specified in such notice), any unpaid Rent for the Equipment due
through the payment date specified in such notice plus whichever of the
following amounts Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall specify in such
notice (together with interest on such amount at the Stipulated Interest
Rate from the payment date specified in such notice to the date of actual
payment): (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Stipulated Loss
Value, computed as of the payment date specified in such notice, over the
aggregate Fair Market Rental Value for the remainder of the Basic Term or
the Renewal Period, as the case may be, after discounting such aggregate
Fair Market Rental Value to present worth as of the payment date specified
in such notice at a rate of 6% per annum; (ii) an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Stipulated Loss Value, computed as of the payment
date specified in such notice, over the Fair Market Sales Value as of such
payment date; or (iii) an amount equal to the excess of the sum of the
present worth, computed as of the payment date specified in such notice at
the rate of 6% per annum, of all Interim Rent and installments of Basic
Rent from the date of such notice to the end of the Basic Term or Renewal
Period, as the case may be, over the discounted aggregate Fair Market
Rental Value for the remainder of the Basic Term or the Renewal Period,
41
as the case may be, computed as provided in clause (i) above;
(d) if Lessor shall have sold the Equipment, pursuant to Section
17(b), Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 17(c) with
respect to the Equipment, may, if it shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay
to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the date of such sale, as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of
the Rent due for the balance of the Lease Term remaining after the date of
such sale), any unpaid Rent for the Equipment due for the portion of the
Lease Term up to and including the Interim Rent Payment Date or the
Semiannual Rent Payment Date, as the case may be, next succeeding the date
of such sale, plus the amount of any deficiency between the net proceeds of
such sale and the Stipulated Loss Value, computed as of the Interim Rent
Payment Date or the Semiannual Rent Payment Date, as the case may be, next
succeeding the date of such sale together with interest at the Stipulated
Interest Rate on the amount of such deficiency from the date as of which
such Stipulated Loss Value is computed until the date of actual payment; or
(e) Lessor may rescind this Lease or may exercise any other right or
remedy which may be available to it under applicable law or proceed by
appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages
for the breach hereof.
No termination of this Lease, in whole or in part, or repossession of any of the
Equipment or exercise of any remedy under this Section 17 shall, except as
specifically provided herein, relieve Lessee of any of its liabilities and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such termination, repossession
or exercise of remedy. In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise
provided above, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or
during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, including all reasonable
legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Lessor, Indenture Trustee,
or any Participant or any holder of a Secured Note by reason of the occurrence
of any Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect
thereto, and including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
return of the Equipment in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise
in accordance with the
42
provisions of, Section 10 as if such Equipment were being returned at the end of
the Lease Term. At any sale of the Equipment or any part thereof pursuant to
this Section 17, Lessor, Indenture Trustee, any Participant and any holder of a
Secured Note may bid for and purchase such property.
To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements
of, applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically
given to Lessor or otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now
or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any
power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise
at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or
omission by Lessor in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the
pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, remedy or power or be
construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Lessee or to be an
acquiescence therein. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of
Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or
subsequent Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee
hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise
which may require Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Equipment or part
thereof in mitigation of Lessor's damages as set forth in this Section 17 or
which may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under
this Section 17.
SECTION 18. Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee shall fail to make
any payment of Rent to be made by it hereunder or shall fail to perform or
comply with any of its other agreements contained herein, Owner Participant or
Lessor may (but shall not have any duty to do so) itself make such payment or
perform or comply with such agreement, and the amount of such payment and the
amount of the reasonable expenses of Owner Participant or Lessor incurred in
connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such
agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Stipulated
Interest Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee upon demand.
43
SECTION 19. Lessee's Options to Renew Lease. (a) Renewal Options. If
no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the option
to renew this Lease for an initial renewal period of 5 years, which shall
commence at the expiration of the Basic Term followed by successive renewal
periods of one or more whole years (such initial renewal period and each such
successive renewal period being hereinafter individually referred to as a
"Renewal Period"; the aggregate of such Renewal Periods elected by Lessee being
herein referred to as the "Renewal Term"); provided, however, that (a) the
aggregate of all such Renewal Periods shall in no event exceed 20 years; (b) in
order to exercise such right to renew this Lease for any Renewal Period, Lessee
shall give Lessor written notice of its election to renew (i) at least one year
(but not more than 18 months) prior to the commencement of any such Renewal
Period if the period during which such right shall be exercised shall be the
Basic Term, the first Renewal Term or any subsequent Renewal Term of 2 years or
longer or (ii) at least 9 months (but not more than 12 months) prior to the
commencement of any such Renewal Period if the period during which such right
shall be exercised shall be a Renewal Period of less than 2 years; and (c) if
Lessee shall fail to exercise its option as to any such Renewal Period it shall
not thereafter have the right to exercise such option as to any subsequent
Renewal Period. The semiannual Rent payable to Lessor by Lessee for any Renewal
Period shall (i) in the case of the first Renewal Period of five whole years, be
equal to one-half of the average of the 50 semiannual installments of Basic Rent
and (ii) in the case of any subsequent Renewal Period, be equal to the Fair
Market Rental Value determined as hereinafter provided. The Fair Market Rental
Value of the Equipment for any Renewal Period after the first Renewal Period
shall be determined by the mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee within 45 days
after receipt by Lessor of the notice from Lessee of its election to renew the
lease of the Equipment for such Renewal Period or, if they shall fail to agree
within such 45-day period, the Fair Market Rental Value of such Renewal Period
shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure. All the provisions of the Lease
shall be applicable during the Renewal Term except for the amount of each
installment of Basic Rent, which shall be as hereinabove provided. After the
Fair Market Rental Value for any Renewal Period following the first five years
of the Renewal Term shall have been finally determined as hereinabove provided,
Lessee shall have the right, by notice to Lessor not later than 45 days after
such determination, to rescind its elec-
44
tion to renew the Lease for such Renewal Period.
(b) Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value During Renewal Term.
The Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value as of the commencement of each
Renewal Period shall be the Fair Market Sales Value as of the end of the Basic
Term or the next preceding Renewal Period, as the case may be, and on each
Semiannual Rent Payment Date during such Renewal Period shall decline or
increase, as the case may be, on a straight-line basis at a rate per annum equal
to the average annual percentage decline or increase, as the case may be, in the
Fair Market Sales Value as of the Commencement Date (which, for such purpose,
shall be deemed to be equal to Lessor's Cost), based on the Fair Market Sales
Value (determined in the same manner and at the same time as Fair Market Sales
Value shall be determined pursuant to the foregoing subsection (a)) as of the
end of the Basic Term or the next preceding Renewal Period, as the case may be.
SECTION 20. Lessee's Options to Purchase the Equipment. (a) Option to
Purchase at Certain Times. Lessee shall have an option to purchase the Equipment
then under lease (i) on any Semiannual Rent Payment Date during the period
commencing with the 21st Semiannual Rent Payment Date and ending with the 40th
Semiannual Rent Payment Date, (ii) on any Semiannual Rent Payment Date during
the period commencing with the 51st Semiannual Rent Payment Date and ending with
the 56th Semiannual Rent Payment Date, if Lessee shall have renewed this Lease
for the initial five-year Renewal Period pursuant to Section 19 and (iii) on any
Semiannual Rent Payment Date on or after the 71st Semiannual Rent Payment Date
if this Lease shall then be in effect, provided that in each case no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing. To exercise such option, Lessee shall
give to Lessor written notice of its election to purchase at least one year (but
not more than 18 months) before the date of purchase. The purchase price of the
equipment shall be payable in immediately available funds on the date of
purchase and shall be an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Sales
Value and Stipulated Loss Value as of the date of purchase. The Fair Market
Sales Value for such purpose shall be determined by the mutual agreement of
Lessor and Lessee within 45 days after receipt by Lessor of the notice from
Lessee of its election to purchase the Equipment pursuant to this subsection or,
if they shall fail to agree within such 45-day period, the Fair Market
Sales Value shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure. After the Fair
Market
45
Sales Value shall have been finally determined as hereinabove provided, Lessee
shall have the right, by notice to Lessor not later than 45 days after such
determination, to rescind its election to purchase the Equipment pursuant to
this Section.
(b) Option to Purchase by Reason of Burdensome Tax Indemnities. In the
event that at any time the excess of (i) the amounts payable or reasonably
certain to become payable pursuant to Section 10.02(a) of the Participation
Agreement over (ii) the amounts payable or reasonably certain to become payable
under Section 10.02(b) of the Participation Agreement, after discounting such
amounts to present worth at a rate of 6% per annum, shall exceed $5,000,000,
Lessee shall have an option to purchase the Equipment then under lease on an
Interim Rent Payment Date or any Semiannual Rent Payment Date on or prior to the
end of the tenth year of the Basic Term, provided (A) no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and (B) on or prior to such Interim Rent Payment Date
or Semiannual Rent Payment Date, as the case may be, Lessee shall have assumed,
by an instrument or instruments in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor and
each holder of a Secured Note, the obligations of Lessor under the Secured Notes
and the Indenture in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.15 of
the Indenture. To exercise such option, Lessee shall give to Lessor written
notice of its election to purchase at least 180 days (but not more than 270
days) before the date of purchase. The purchase price of the Equipment shall be
payable in immediately available funds on the date of purchase and shall be an
amount equal to the greater of the Net Fair Market Sales Value and Net
Stipulated Loss Value as of the date of purchase. The Fair Market Sales Value
for the purpose of determining such Net Fair Market Sales Value shall be
determined as provided in the foregoing subsection (a).
(c) Limited Option to Purchase at Certain Times. In the event Lessee
shall be required, at any time (i) after the 40th Semiannual Rental Payment Date
and on or prior to the 50th Semiannual Rent Payment Date or (ii) after the 56th
Semiannual Rent Payment Date and on or prior to the 70th Semiannual Rent Payment
Date (if the Lease shall then be in effect), to make any Alteration pursuant to
Section 7(d) the cost of which, when discounted to present worth as of the
Commencement Date at a rate of 6% per annum, shall exceed $5,000,000, then
Lessee shall have an option to purchase the Equipment then under lease on the
first Semiannual Rent Payment Date occurring not less than 60 days after the
46
imposition of such requirement, provided no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. To exercise such option, Lessee shall give to Lessor written notice
of its election to purchase within 30 days of the imposition of such
requirement. The purchase price of the Equipment shall be payable in immediately
available funds on the date of purchase and shall be an amount equal to the
greater of the Fair Market Sales Value and Stipulated Loss Value as of the date
of purchase. The Fair Market Sales Value for such purpose shall be determined as
provided in subsection (a) of this Section; provided, however, that for the
purpose of this subsection the Fair Market Sales Value shall be determined on
the assumptions that (i) the requirement of making the Alteration or Alterations
which shall have given rise to the option to purchase under this subsection had
not been (and will never be) imposed and (ii) the Facility is in the condition
and repair that would have been required in the absence of any such requirement.
(d) Option to Purchase in Lieu of Dismantling Equipment. If Lessor
shall have requested Lessee to dismantle, remove and deliver the Equipment
pursuant to Section 10 and Lessee would then otherwise be required to so
dismantle, remove and deliver the Equipment, then Lessee may, in lieu of such
dismantling, removal and delivery, upon giving prompt written notice to Lessor,
purchase the Equipment from Lessor on the date specified in such notice, which
date shall be at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, after such request by
Lessor. The purchase price of the Equipment shall be payable in immediately
available funds on such date and shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market
Sales Value as of the date of purchase, determined as provided in subsection (a)
of this Section.
(e) Return of Equipment after Purchase. Upon payment by Lessee to
Lessor of the purchase price for the Equipment pursuant to Section 20(a), (b),
(c) or (d) hereof or Section 7.09(d) or (e) of the Participation Agreement, and
upon payment by Lessee of all Rent and any other amounts owing to Lessor under
this Lease, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty, but
free and clear of (i) Lessor Liens and (ii) (unless the purchase is being made
pursuant to Section 20(b) or pursuant to Section 7.09(d) of the Participation
Agreement in a case where Lessee assumes the Secured Notes under such Section
7.09(d)) the Lien of the Indenture, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in
and to the Equipment and in and to any warranties
47
of the Contractors for the Equipment.
SECTION 21. Obsolescence Termination; Lessor's Option. (a)
Obsolescence Termination. So long as no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lessee shall have the right, at its option at any time, on at least
180 days' prior notice to Lessor, to terminate this Lease on any Semiannual Rent
Payment Date (hereinafter for purposes of this Section 21 called the
"Termination Date"), specified in such notice, provided that (i) the Termination
Date shall be after the 20th Semiannual Rent Payment Date and (ii) the Board of
Directors of Lessee shall have made a good faith determination that the
Equipment is obsolete or surplus to Lessee's requirements. During the period
from the giving of such notice until the Termination Date, Lessee, as agent for
Lessor, shall use its best efforts to obtain cash bids for the purchase of the
Equipment. Lessor shall also have the right to obtain cash bids for the purchase
of the Equipment, either directly or through agents other than Lessee. Lessee
shall certify to Lessor in writing the amount and terms of each bid received by
Lessee and the name and address of the party (who shall not be Lessee or any
Affiliate of Lessee) submitting such bid. On the Termination Date, Lessor shall
(subject to receipt of the sale price and all additional payments specified in
the next sentence), without recourse or warranty, sell the Equipment for cash to
the bidder who shall have submitted the highest bid prior to such date. The
total sale price realized at such sale shall be retained by Lessor and, in
addition, on the Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor (or, in the case
of Supplemental Rent, the Person entitled thereto) (i) the excess, if any, of
the Termination Value over the sale price of the Equipment after deducting all
expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with such sale, (ii) any Basic Rent
accrued and unpaid on the Equipment to and including the Termination Date and
(iii) all Supplemental Rent owing by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however,
that the net sales price received by Lessor shall be, under any circumstances
and in any event, in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Secured Notes then outstanding plus the accrued
interest thereon. If no sale shall have occurred on or as of the Termination
Date, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of any
such sale and upon compliance by Lessee with the provisions of this Section 21,
the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent hereunder for any Semiannual Lease
Period ending on or after the Termination Date shall cease and the Lease Term
shall end on the Xxxxxxx-
00
tion Date. Lessor shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the
efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection with
any such sale other than to transfer to the purchaser named in the highest bid
certified by Lessee to Lessor or obtained by Lessor, without recourse or
warranty, but free and clear of (i) Lessor Liens and (ii) the Lien of the
Indenture, all Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Equipment,
against receipt of the payments provided for herein.
(b) Lessor's Option. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, and provided that the Indenture shall have been satisfied and
discharged by the payment in full of all principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on the Secured Notes and all other amounts then due and payable to the
holders of Secured Notes or the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or
otherwise, Lessor may, at its option, upon written notice to Lessee given at
least 10 (but not more than 30) days prior to the Termination Date, refuse to
sell its interest in the Equipment pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Section 21(a), in which case the Lease Term for the Equipment shall end.
SECTION 22. Further Assurances. Lessee shall cause the Operative
Documents and any amendments and supplements to any of them (together with any
other instruments, financing statements, continuation statements, records or
papers necessary in connection therewith) to be recorded and/or filed and
rerecorded and/or refiled in each jurisdiction as and to the extent required by
law in order to, and shall take such other actions as may from time to time be
necessary to establish, perfect and maintain (i) Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to the Equipment and the Trust Estate, subject to no Liens other
than Permitted Liens, (ii) for the benefit of Indenture Trustee, the first
mortgage lien and first priority security interest in the Trust Indenture Estate
provided for in the Indenture and (iii) each of the other rights and interests
created by the Indenture or by any other Operative Document in any Participant,
Lessor or Indenture Trustee. Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver
to each of the Participants, Lessor and Indenture Trustee such documents and
assurances and take such further action as Lessor may from time to time
reasonably request in order to carry out more effectively the intent and purpose
of this Lease and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or
intended to be created in favor of Lessor, to establish and perfect and maintain
Lessor's right, title and
49
interest in and to the Equipment and the Trust Estate and, for the benefit of
Indenture Trustee, the first mortgage lien and first priority security interest
in the Trust Indenture Estate provided for in the Indenture, including, without
limitation, if requested by any Participant, Lessor or Indenture Trustee, at the
expense of the Lessee, the recording or filing of counterparts or appropriate
memoranda hereof, or of such financing statements or other documents with
respect hereto as any Participant, Lessor or Indenture Trustee may from time to
time reasonably request, and Lessor agrees promptly to execute and deliver such
of the foregoing financing statements or other documents as may require
execution by Lessor.
SECTION 23. Successor Trustee; Cotrustee. In the case of the
appointment of any successor trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust
Agreement, such successor trustee shall, upon written notice by such successor
trustee to Lessee, succeed to all the rights, duties, powers and title of Owner
Trustee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents and shall be deemed to
be Lessor and the legal owner of the Equipment for all purposes hereof. Owner
Trustee or any successor trustee from time to time serving as Owner Trustee
hereunder may from time to time appoint one or more cotrustees or separate
trustees pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement to exercise or hold any or
all of the rights, powers and title of Owner Trustee hereunder. No such
appointment of any successor trustee, cotrustee or separate trustee shall
require any consent or approval by Lessee or shall in any way alter the terms of
this Lease or Lessee's or Lessor's obligations hereunder. The appointment of one
successor trustee, cotrustee or separate trustee shall not exhaust the right to
appoint further successor trustees, cotrustees and separate trustees pursuant to
the Trust Agreement, but such right may be exercised repeatedly so long as this
Lease may be in effect.
SECTION 24. Liabilities of Owner Participant. Owner Participant shall
not have any obligation or duty to Lessee with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except as specifically provided in the Operative Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, under no circumstances
whatsoever shall Owner Participant as such be liable to Lessee for any action or
inaction on the part of Owner Trustee in connection with the Operative
Documents, the beneficial ownership of the Equipment, the administration of the
Trust Estate or otherwise, whether or not such action or
50
inaction shall be caused by the wilful misconduct or ordinary or gross
negligence of Owner Trustee.
Lessee agrees that neither Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
nor Owner Participant shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the Lessee
for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or based on or in
respect of any of the other Operative Documents or any other agreement or
instrument; it being expressly understood that all obligations of Owner Trustee
and Owner Participant to the Lessee are solely nonrecourse obligations and that
all such personal liability of Owner Trustee and Owner Participant are expressly
waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution
and delivery of this Lease by Owner Trustee; provided, however, that (subject to
Section 4(f) hereof and the Indenture) nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent
recourse to and the enforcement against the Trust Estate for performance of
covenants of Owner Trustee contained in this Lease or shall be deemed to excuse
the Owner Trustee for liability for its own willful misconduct or its gross
negligence or shall be deemed to prevent recourse to and enforcement against
Owner Participant for any of its obligations on its part specifically set forth
in Article X of the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 25. Trust Indenture Estate as Security for Owner Trustee's
Obligations to Holders of Secured Notes. In order to secure the indebtedness
evidenced by the Secured Notes, Lessor provides (a) in the Indenture, among
other things, for the creation of a first mortgage lien and first priority
security interest in favor of Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders
of the Secured Notes in and to the Trust Indenture Estate as described in the
Granting Clause of the Indenture and (b) in the Lease Assignment for the
assignment by Lessor to the Indenture Trustee of its right, title and interest
in and to this Lease. Lessee hereby (a) consents to such assignment pursuant to
the terms of the Indenture and the Lease Assignment, (b) agrees to pay directly
to Indenture Trustee (or, after receipt of notice from Indenture Trustee stating
that the Indenture has been satisfied and discharged, to Lessor) all amounts of
Interim Rent, Basic Rent and any other payments due or to become due to Lessor
hereunder or under the Participation Agreement which shall be required to be
paid to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and the Lease Assignment and
(c) agrees that the right of Indenture Trustee to such payments hereunder shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not
51
be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation,
those circumstances set forth in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 4(f).
SECTION 26. Grant of Certain Rights to Lessee. So long as this Lease
shall remain in effect and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessor hereby gives to Lessee the exclusive right to use the Easements and other
rights granted to Lessor pursuant to the Facilities Agreement (other than the
rights included in the Equipment Easement to locate the Equipment on the Site
and to own and lease the Equipment as provided in this Lease) to the extent and
in the manner contemplated by this Lease.
SECTION 27. Counterparts; Uniform Commercial Code. This Lease and each
Lease Supplement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Each
counterpart of this Lease which has been executed by the parties hereto shall be
prominently marked to identify the party to whom originally delivered. Only the
counterpart of this Lease and each Lease Supplement marked "Lessor's Copy" and
containing the receipt therefor executed by Indenture Trustee on the signature
page thereof shall evidence the monetary obligations of Lessee hereunder and
thereunder. To the extent, if any, that this Lease constitutes chattel paper (as
such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction), no security interest in this Lease may be created by
the transfer or possession of any counterpart hereof other than the counterpart
marked "Lessor's Copy" and containing the receipt therefor executed by the
Indenture Trustee on or immediately following the signature page thereof.
SECTION 28. Notices. Any notice, request or other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and, if mailed, shall be deemed to be given or

holder to Indenture Trustee. From time to time, Lessee, Lessor, Owner
Participant, Indenture Trustee or any Loan Participant may designate a new
address for purposes of notice hereunder by giving notice to each of the others.
SECTION 29. Miscellaneous. (a) Severability. Any provision of this
Lease which shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any provision of law which
renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
(b) Amendment. Neither this Lease nor any of the terms hereof may be
terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified orally, but only by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the
termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification is sought and, unless
and until Lessee shall have received written notice from Indenture Trustee that
the Lien of the Indenture on the Trust Indenture Estate has been released,
Indenture Trustee.
(c) Headings, etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the various
Sections of this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not
modify, define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

State, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.
