ARTICLE III
SHARED FACILITIES
SECTION 3.1 Use of Shared Facilities. The Company and the Owner Lessor
each hereby agrees to operate (or cause the operation in accordance with Section
3.2 hereof) the Company Shared Facilities and the Owner Lessor Shared
Facilities, respectively, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the other
Party (and, in the case of the Owner Lessor, for the benefit of any Additional
Owner) to the extent necessary or useful in connection with the use and
enjoyment of the Company Owned Facilities or the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities,
as the case may be, during the term of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.2 Ownership of Shared Facilities. Notwithstanding the provisions
of any other agreement between the Company and the Owner Lessor, the Company
shall at all times own the Company Owned Facilities, and the Owner Lessor shall
at all times own the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities.
SECTION 3.3 Operation and Maintenance of Shared Facilities. At all times
during the term of this Agreement, each Party shall, or shall cause a Person
which is at all times qualified and licensed or otherwise authorized under any
Applicable Law to operate the Shared Facilities (including, in respect of the
Owner Lessor, the Company) (such Person, such Party's "Contractor") to, use,
----------
operate, maintain, inspect, service, repair, rebuild and overhaul the Shared
Facilities owned by such Party, and each Part thereof, or cause the same to be
operated, maintained, inspected, serviced, repaired, and overhauled in good
operating order, repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted,
consistent with Prudent Industry Practice and in accordance with any Applicable
Law and in such a manner as not intentionally to cause a material decrease or
diminution of the value, residual value, utility or remaining useful life of any
of the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities or Company Owned Facilities, as the case
may be, reasonable wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that, such Party
shall not be obligated to comply with any Applicable Law in respect of the
matters hereinabove referred to, so long as such failure of compliance shall not
involve:
(a) a material risk of the foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of
any of the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities, the Company Owned Facilities, the
Facility Site and the Retained Sites, or any material part of any of the
foregoing;
(b) a material adverse effect on the use, operation or maintenance of
the Company Owned Facilities or the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities;
4
(c) a material decrease or diminution of the value, utility or
remaining useful life of any of the Company Owned Facilities or the Owner
Lessor Owned Facilities; or
(d) a risk of (or, except with respect to the risk of criminal
liability, if the application or validity of such Applicable Law is being
contested diligently and in good faith by appropriate proceedings, a
material risk of) criminal liability or civil liability being incurred by
any Transaction Party (other than such Party or such Party's Contractor)
and, solely in the case of such civil liability, either (i) such Party has
not agreed, in a written instrument in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such Transaction Party, to indemnify such Transaction Party
against the payment thereof or (ii) the event or events in question are
recurring and are of such a nature so as to subject the other Party or any
of its Affiliates to material adverse publicity or other consequences for
which compensation in the form of reimbursement of monetary damages is, in
the good faith judgment of such Person, not sufficient, and such Party
fails to pursue diligently the cure of such event.
SECTION 3.4 Insurance for Shared Facilities.
(a) General Coverage. At all times during the term of this
----------------
Agreement, each Party will cause to be carried and maintained on or with
respect to the Company Shared Facilities or Owner Lessor Shared Facilities,
as the case may be, with insurers of recognized responsibility selected by
such Party, (i) insurance against damage to or destruction of such Shared
Facilities and (ii) liability insurance with respect to third Party
personal injury and property damage, in each case in such amounts and
against such risks as is customary with companies with the same or similar
facilities using Prudent Industry Practice.
(b) Application of Proceeds. All proceeds of any insurance against
-----------------------
damage to or destruction of the Shared Facilities relating to an Event of
Loss involving such Shared Facilities shall be paid to the Party owning
such Shared Facilities, and such Party shall apply such proceeds first, in
payment for the repair or restoration of such Shared Facilities, to the
extent necessary so that the condition of such Shared Facilities after such
repair or replacement shall be at least equivalent to the condition thereof
before the occurrence of such Event of Loss (on the assumption that such
Shared Facilities were, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event
of Loss, being maintained in accordance with the terms of this Agreement),
if such repair or restoration has not already been paid for by such Party;
provided, however, that such application of such proceeds shall be required
only to the extent that services affected by such Event of Loss are not
available from third parties at rates comparable to the rates payable to
such Party for such services hereunder; and second, to reimburse such Party
for any such payment or service made by such Party in connection with such
repair or restoration, and any balance remaining shall be retained by or
paid to such Party for its own account.
SECTION 3.5 Non-Exclusive Right to Use, Control of Shared Facilities.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the Shared Facilities shall be made available for the
use and benefit of the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities and the Company Owned
Facilities on a nondiscriminatory basis, and all rights
5
of the other Party hereunder shall be subject to all reasonable operational,
environmental and safety rules and procedures required by the applicable
Permitted User. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the
Shared Facilities are, at any time, insufficient to allow the Owner Lessor Owned
Facilities and the Company Owned Facilities, as the case may be, to operate in
substantially the same manner and to substantially the same extent as was
permitted prior to the Effective Date because of the construction of an
Additional Facility, the Owner Lessor shall have priority use of the Shared
Facilities in such amounts and for such time as required to allow the Owner
Lessor Owned Facilities to operate, as to any Unit, in substantially the same
manner and to substantially the same extent as such Unit was operated
immediately prior to the Effective Date or immediately prior to the Lessor
Possession Date as to such Unit, whichever such period used for measuring
operating levels results in higher priority use for the Owner Lessor Owned
Facilities. Prior to a Lessor Possession Date, the parties agree to cooperate
with each other and to enter into mutually agreeable arrangements, each acting
reasonably and in good faith, with respect to joint operation, maintenance and
use of, and allocations of costs and expenses with respect to the Shared
Facilities; provided, that all costs and expenses shall be shared by the parties
based upon their respective utilization of the Shared Facilities.
SECTION 3.6 Force Majeure. No Party hereto shall be considered to be in
default in the performance of any of the obligations hereunder, other than
obligations of the Parties hereto to pay amounts due hereunder, if failure of
performance shall be due to an Event of Force Majeure. Any Party hereto
rendered unable to fulfill any obligation by reason of an Event of Force Majeure
shall give prompt notice of the same to the other Party, detailing such Event of
Force Majeure and thereafter exercise due diligence to remove such inability
with all reasonable dispatch. Payment obligations of either Party hereunder may
be suspended to the extent and for so long as either Party's performance
hereunder is suspended due to an Event of Force Majeure, except with regard to
payment for services actually rendered and for such Shared Facilities made
available prior to or during the occurrence of such Event of Force Majeure.
SECTION 3.7 Condemnation of Shared Facilities. In the event all or any
part of the Company Shared Facilities or Owner Lessor Shared Facilities, as the
case may be, shall be taken by appropriation for public or quasi-public use
under the right of eminent domain or otherwise, the award made by the condemning
authority shall be distributed to the Company or the Owner Lessor, as their
interests may appear. The Company or the Owner Lessor, as the case may be,
shall apply all proceeds of the condemnation award received by it in respect of
the Company Shared Facilities or the Owner Lessor Shared Facilities, as the case
may be, toward the costs of repairing or replacing such Shared Facilities or the
part thereof which has been damaged; and any such proceeds not required for such
purpose shall be distributed to the other Party to the extent of the value of
its interest in such Shared Facilities granted and conveyed hereunder.
SECTION 3.8 Survival of Rights in Shared Facilities. Except as provided in
Section 2.2, this Agreement shall not terminate, nor shall any of the rights in
the Shared Facilities granted and conveyed hereunder be extinguished, lost,
conveyed or otherwise impaired, in whole or in part, by any cause or for any
reason whatsoever, including, the following: (a) the occurrence or existence of
any Lease Event of Default; (b) any damage to or destruction of all or any part
of the Company Owned Facilities or the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities, or the
taking of the Company Owned Facilities or the Owner Lessor Owned Facilities or
any portion thereof by expropriation, condemnation or otherwise; (c) any
prohibition,
6
limitation or restriction of any Party's use of all or any part of its property
or the interference of such use by any Person, or any eviction by any person
holding superior title or otherwise; (d) the termination or loss of the interest
of the Owner Lessor or the Company under the Facility Lease; (e) the assumption
by the Company of the obligations of the Owner Lessor under the Certificates,
the Lease Indenture or any other Operative Document; (f) the coincident
ownership by any Person of any estate or interest in any of the Shared
Facilities and other rights granted and conveyed pursuant to this Agreement with
any estate or interest in the Facility Site and the Retained Sites or any part
thereof; (g) any inadequacy, incorrectness or failure of the description of the
Facility Site, the Retained Sites, the Shared Facilities or any property or
rights intended to be granted or conveyed by this Agreement; (h) any default in
the performance or the observance by any Party hereto of any of their respective
covenants and agreements to be performed and observed by it under any of the
Operative Documents; (i) the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceedings by or against any Party hereto; (j) any non-use or excessive use of
the Shared Facilities, or (k) any other reason whatsoever, whether similar or
dissimilar to any of the foregoing.
ARTICLE IV
PAYMENT
SECTION 4.1 Payment. In consideration of the agreement of each Party to
operate its Shared Facilities and the other services to be provided by such
Party hereunder, the other Party shall pay to such Party on the January 2 or
July 2 which first succeeds the initial Lessor Possession Date, and on each
January 2 and July 2 thereafter to and including the Expiration Date (and on the
Expiration Date, if such date is not a January 2 or July 2), an amount to be
mutually agreed from time to time between the Parties, or, if at any time the
Parties cannot reach such mutual agreement, an amount equal to the Shared
Facilities Fair Market Rental Value (each a "Shared Facilities Payment"). As
-------------------------
used herein, the term "Shared Facilities Fair Market Rental Value" shall mean,
------------------------------------------
for any period, the amount which would be determined in an arms-length
negotiation between an informed and willing owner of property equivalent to the
Company Shared Facilities or the Owner Lessor Shared Facilities, as applicable
(under no compulsion to grant a right of use in such property) and an informed
and willing prospective user of such property (under no compulsion to use such
property) for the non-exclusive use of such property on the terms set out herein
for such period, as established as promptly as practicable after the Lessor
Possession Date, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after such date, by
the Consulting Engineer. The determination by the Consulting Engineer of the
Shared Facilities Fair Market Rental Values will be binding on each of the
Company and the Owner Lessor. Any Shared Facilities Payments hereunder shall be
in U.S. Dollars, and shall be made to such Person and at such location as the
receiving Party shall designate in writing to the other Party from time to time.
SECTION 4.2 Late Payments. In the event any payment required to be made
hereunder is not submitted within the time period herein specified, the Party
failing to make such payment shall pay, in addition to the amount of the
required payment, interest at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate, from
the date when such payment was due to the date of payment.
7
SECTION 4.3 Payment Default. The failure of either Party to make any
payment required to be made under Section 4.1 within 30 days after receipt of
written notice of such nonpayment shall constitute a default hereunder. If any
such default occurs and is continuing, the non-defaulting Party may, in its sole
discretion, either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the
defaulting Party, which termination shall be effective on a date specified in
such notice that is no earlier than 30 days following the date of such notice
unless such default shall have been cured prior to such specified date; or (ii)
suspend performance of its obligations hereunder (but shall be entitled to
receive services from the defaulting party hereunder); provided that if the Lien
of the Lease Indenture shall not have been discharged, or if any lease or
mortgage financing has been obtained with respect to any Additional Facility and
has not been discharged, the non-defaulting Party shall notify the Lease
Indenture Trustee or such other financing parties, as the case may be, of such
default and the intention to terminate, and such termination shall be subject to
any cure rights granted to the Lease Indenture Trustee under the Lease Indenture
or to such other financing parties under the applicable financing documents.
SECTION 4.4 Right of Setoff. On each Payment Date, all amounts required to
be paid by either Party hereunder may be set off against any amount required to
be paid to the other Party pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement. The owing
Party shall pay any balance due to the other Party on each such Payment Date.
ARTICLE V
