the immediately preceding Partnership Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.7 Special Payment Account. All Special Payments
deposited in the Special Payment Account after the Effective Date shall be
distributed from time to time by the Security Agent to the Grantee, upon receipt

occurred and is continuing, the Security Agent shall thereafter transfer cash

clause "first" of Section 4.2 hereof only after receiving the prior written
consent of the Grantee until notified in writing by the Grantee that such Event

(b) If the Grantee shall at any time notify the Security Agent
in writing that an Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement has
occurred and is continuing and that as a result thereof the entire outstanding

Agent shall, if requested by the Grantee, promptly withdraw the cash and
investments on deposit in the Accounts to the extent necessary to pay in full
the Senior Debt (as certified to the Security Agent by the Grantee) and deliver
the same to the Grantee, to be applied forthwith to the payment of the Senior
Debt. The Grantee agrees that it shall not request the Security Agent to make

Collateral, maintained by the Partnership pursuant to Section 7.3 of the
Reimbursement Agreement. The Partnership and the Grantee shall also deposit in
the Insurance Proceeds Account the proceeds of any condemnation, requisition or
other governmental taking of any portion of the Project received by it.
(b) All moneys and securities at any time on deposit in the
Insurance Proceeds Account, including all interest or other income earned with
respect thereto, are herein called the "Insurance Proceeds Deposits".

the Insurance Proceeds Account and held therein until paid to or upon the order
of the Partnership as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 4.12, or paid to
the Grantee as
18
15
provided in paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section 4.12, or returned to the
Partnership as provided in Section 8.2 hereof.
(d) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f) of
this Section 4.12, moneys on deposit in the Insurance Proceeds Account shall be
paid over to or upon the order of the Partnership to reimburse it for, or to
pay, the cost of renewing, repairing, rebuilding or otherwise replacing the
damaged or destroyed or condemned property in respect of which such moneys were
received, upon the receipt by the Security Agent of a certificate of the
Treasurer of the Partnership, countersigned by the Grantee, (i) describing in
reasonable detail the work done and materials purchased by way of the renewal,
repair, rebuilding or other replacement of the damaged or destroyed or condemned
property, (ii) stating the specific amount requested to be paid over to or upon
the order of the Partnership, that such amount is requested to reimburse the
Partnership for, or to pay, the cost of such renewal, repair, rebuilding or
other replacement and that such amount, together with amounts remaining in the
Insurance Proceeds Account for such purpose and other funds of the Partnership
available for such purpose, are sufficient to pay in full the cost of such
renewal, repair, rebuilding or other replacement, and (iii) stating that no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(e) If the Grantee shall at any time notify the Security Agent
in writing that an Event of Loss has occurred, the Security Agent shall to the
extent requested in such writing promptly withdraw the Insurance Proceeds
Deposits from the Insurance Proceeds Account and deliver the same to the
Grantee, for application by the Grantee to the payment of the Obligations in
such order as the Secured Parties may determine.
(f) If the Grantee shall at any time notify the Security Agent
in writing that an Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement has
occurred and is continuing, then the Security Agent shall, if and to the extent
requested in such writing by the Grantee, promptly withdraw the Insurance
Proceeds Deposits from the Insurance Proceeds Account and deliver the same to
the Grantee, to be held by the Grantee and applied to the payment of the
Obligations as they become due in such order as the Secured Parties may
determine.
ARTICLE V
Investment
Any cash held by the Security Agent in any Account shall be
invested by the Security Agent from time to time as directed in writing by the
Partnership (unless the Grantee shall have notified the Security Agent that an
Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and that the Security
Agent's authority to invest and reinvest at the written direction of the
Partnership is suspended) in Permitted Investments. Any income or gain realized
as a result of any such investment shall be held
19
16
as part of the applicable Account and reinvested as provided herein. The
Security Agent shall have no liability for any loss resulting from any such
investment other than by reason of its wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
Any such investment may be sold (without regard to maturity date) by the
Security Agent whenever necessary to make any distribution required by this
Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
Security Agent
SECTION 6.1 Rights, Duties, Etc. The acceptance by the
Security Agent of its duties hereunder is subject to the following terms and
conditions which the parties to this Agreement hereby agree shall govern and
control with respect to the Security Agent's rights, duties, liabilities and
immunities:
(a) it shall act hereunder as an agent only and shall not be
responsible or liable in any manner whatever for the sufficiency,
correctness, genuineness or validity of any funds or securities
deposited with or held by it;
(b) it shall be protected in acting upon any written notice,
certificate, instruction, request or other paper or document, as to the
due execution thereof and the validity and effectiveness of the
provisions thereof and as to the truth of any information therein
contained, which the Security Agent in good faith believes to be
genuine;
(c) it 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, wilful misconduct or bad faith;
(d) it may consult with and obtain advice from counsel in the
event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any
provision hereof;
(e) it shall have no duties as Security Agent except those
which are expressly set forth herein and in any modification or
amendment hereof; provided, however, that no such modification or
amendment hereof shall affect its duties unless it shall have given its
prior written consent thereto;
(f) it may execute or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or through agents or attorneys;
(g) it may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transactions with any party hereto 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 Security Agent hereunder;
and
20
17
(h) it 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 (it being understood and
agreed that the general indemnity of the Partnership will constitute a
reasonable indemnity).
SECTION 6.2 Resignation or Removal. (a) The Security 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 Security
Agent as hereinafter provided.
(b) The Partnership (with the written approval of the Grantee)
or the Grantee may remove the Security Agent at any time by giving notice to
each other party to this Agreement, such removal to be effective upon the
appointment of a successor Security Agent as hereinafter provided.
(c) In the event of any resignation or removal of the Security
Agent, a successor Security Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of the State of New
York or North Carolina, having its principal corporate trust office in New York
or North Carolina and a capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000, shall
be appointed by the Grantee, subject to the approval of the Partnership (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If a successor Security Agent
shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as Security Agent
hereunder within 45 days after such notice of resignation of the Security Agent
or such notice of removal of the Security Agent, the Security Agent or the
Grantee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Security Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor Security Agent
shall have accepted its appointment as above provided. Any successor Security
Agent so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be
superseded by any successor Security Agent appointed by the Grantee with the
approval of the Partnership as above provided. Any such successor Security Agent
shall deliver to each party to this Agreement a written instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor Security Agent shall
succeed to all the rights and duties of the Security Agent hereunder and shall
be entitled to receive the Accounts from the predecessor Security Agent.
ARTICLE VII
Determinations
SECTION 7.1 Value. Cash and Permitted Investments on deposit
from time to time in the Accounts shall be valued by the Security Agent as
follows:
(a) cash shall be valued at the face amount thereof; and
21
18
(b) Permitted Investments shall be valued at the lesser of the
face amount thereof and the purchase price thereof.
The term "Value" shall mean, with respect to any Account, the
aggregate value of the cash and Permitted Investments then on deposit in such
Account, valued in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.1.
SECTION 7.2 Other Determinations. The Partnership, the
Grantee and the Security Agent shall establish procedures pursuant to which the
Security Agent may conclusively determine, for purposes of this Agreement, the
amounts from time to time to be distributed or paid by the Security Agent from
cash available in the Accounts. In the event of any dispute as to any such
amount, the Security Agent is authorized and directed to retain in its
possession without liability to anyone all or any part of the cash available in
the Accounts until such dispute shall have been settled by mutual agreement of
the Partnership and the Grantee or by a final order, decree or judgment of a
Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of North
Carolina or the State of New York, and time for an appeal has expired and no
appeal has been perfected, but the Security Agent shall be under no duty
whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.
SECTION 7.3 Available Cash. In determining the amount of
available cash in any Account at any time, in addition to any cash then on
deposit in such Account, the Security Agent shall treat as available cash the
amount which the Security Agent would have received on such day if the Security
Agent had liquidated all the Permitted Investments (at then prevailing market
prices) then on deposit in such Account. The Security Agent will use its best
efforts to sell Permitted Investments such that actual cash is available on each
date on which each distribution is to be made pursuant to this Agreement so that
the Security Agent can make such distribution in cash on such date.

SECTION 8.1 Fees and Indemnification of Security Agent. The
Partnership and Cogentrix Virginia jointly and severally agree to pay such fees

Agreement. In addition, the Partnership and Cogentrix Virginia hereby jointly
and severally assume liability for and agree to indemnify, protect, save and
keep harmless the Security Agent and its respective successors, assigns, agents
and servants, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against, at any time, the Security Agent (whether or not also
indemnified against by the Partnership or any other Person under any contract or
instrument) and in any way relating to or arising out of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the establishment of the Accounts, the acceptance of
deposits, the purchase or sale of Permitted Investments, the retention of cash
and Permitted Investments or the proceeds thereof and any payment, transfer or
other application of cash or Permitted Investments by the Security Agent in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of
any act, omission or error of the Security Agent made in good faith in the
conduct of its duties; except that neither the Partnership nor Cogentrix
Virginia shall be required to indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless the
Security Agent against its own gross negligence, active or passive, or wilful
misconduct. The indemnities contained in this Section 8.1 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.2 Termination, Etc. The provisions of Article III

Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Reimbursement Agreement shall
have been terminated. Promptly after such termination (x) any Permitted

made of the distributions made from the Accounts and any necessary adjustments
to the balances of the Accounts as a result of such reconciliation shall be made
and (z) the moneys in the Accounts (after giving effect to such liquidation and
such adjustments) shall be distributed to the Partnership. Any taxes payable as
a result of any distribution from any Account pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall
be paid by the Partnership from the moneys distributed to the Partnership
pursuant to this Section 8.2 or otherwise and shall not be treated as an expense
of the Facility for purposes of any Project Document.
SECTION 8.3 Severability. If any one or more of the
covenants or agreements provided in this Agreement on the part of the parties
hereto to be performed should be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be contrary to law, such covenant or agreement shall be deemed and construed
to be severable from the remaining covenants and agreements herein contained and
shall in no way affect the validity of the
23
20
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 8.5 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified
or amended without the prior written consent of each of the parties hereto.
SECTION 8.6 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall in all
respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of North Carolina applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in
such State, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.
SECTION 8.7 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, all notices, consents, directions, approvals, instructions, requests and
other communications required or permitted by the terms hereof to be given to
any Person shall be in writing and shall become effective, if mailed, five
Business Days after being deposited in the United States mail, proper postage
for first-class mail affixed thereto or, if delivered by hand or courier service
or in the form of a telex, telecopy or telegram, when received, and shall be

00000-0000, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, or such other address or
telex or telecopy number as may be specified from time to time by any such
Person.
SECTION 8.8 Limitations on Recourse. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement or in any other document, certificate or
instrument executed by any Affiliated Obligor, the Grantee and the Security
Agent (collectively, the "Bank Parties") agree that, except as hereinafter set
forth, their rights in respect of all of the obligations and liabilities of the
Partnership to the Bank Parties or any of them now or in the future existing
under or in connection with this Agreement (the "Security Deposit Obligations")
shall be limited to satisfaction out of, and enforcement against, (i) with
respect to the Grantee, the Collateral and (ii) with respect to the Security
Agent, the Accounts. The Collateral and Accounts are hereinafter referred to as
the "Limited Recourse Collateral." The Bank Parties also hereby acknowledge and
agree that, except for the Affiliated Obligors, no other Person (including, but
not limited to, Edison International, Southern California Edison Company, The
Mission Group, EME, Cogentrix Energy,
24
21
Delaware Holdings, CHC or the Parent, or any present or future officer,
employee, servant, controlling Person, manager, agent, authorized representative
(including any member of the Partnership's Management Committee) or stockholder
of Edison International, Southern California Edison Company, The Mission Group,
EME, Cogentrix Energy, Delaware Holdings, CHC or the Parent) (collectively, the
"Non-Recourse Persons") shall have any liability to all or any of the Bank
Parties (such liability, including such as may arise by operation of law, being
hereby expressly waived) for the payment of any sums now or hereafter owing by
the Partnership under this Agreement or any other Project Document or for the
performance of any of the obligations of the Affiliated Obligors contained
herein or therein or shall otherwise be liable or responsible with respect
thereto, except as hereinafter set forth. Accordingly, dividends or other
distributions made by a Partner to its shareholders (other than dividends or
other distributions made by Cogentrix Virginia to the Parent) shall not be
deemed to be Limited Recourse Collateral in which the Bank Parties have any
security or other interest. If any Default or Event of Default shall occur or if
any claim of the Bank Parties against the Partnership or alleged liability to
the Bank Parties of any Affiliated Obligor shall be asserted under this
Agreement or any other Project Document, the Bank Parties agree that, except as
hereinafter set forth, they shall not have the right to proceed directly or
indirectly against the Non-Recourse Persons or against their respective
properties and assets (other than the Limited Recourse Collateral) for the
satisfaction of any Security Deposit Obligations or of any such claim or
liability or for any deficiency judgment (except to the extent enforceable out
of the Limited Recourse Collateral to which a Bank Party is entitled) in respect
of the Security Deposit Obligations or any such claim or liability. In
furtherance of this Agreement, each Bank Party hereby covenants severally and
not for any other Bank Party that, in the event of a proceeding under Title 11
of the United States Code in which the Partnership or any Partner is a debtor,
it shall elect to have its claims against the Partnership or any Partner treated
as fully secured pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1111(b)(2). Notwithstanding any
of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 8.8 shall in any manner or any way (i) constitute or
be deemed to be a release of the Senior Debt or impair the enforceability of the
liens and security interests and possessory rights created by or arising from
this Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Project Documents, or,
except as provided in the preceding sentence, restrict the remedies available to
the Bank Parties to realize upon the Limited Recourse Collateral, or (ii) affect
or diminish any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Non-Recourse Person
under, or any right or benefit of the Partnership or the Bank Parties under, any
Project Document or any other instrument or (iii) without derogating from the
meaning of Limited Recourse Collateral, affect or diminish any rights of any
Person against any other Person arising from misappropriation or misapplication
of any funds or for such other Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The foregoing acknowledgments, agreements and waivers shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and shall be enforceable by any Non-Recourse
Person.
SECTION 8.9 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
