2.6 PLACE OF BUSINESS. The principal office and place of
business of the Partnership shall continue to be at 0 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxx 00000. The Partnership may also maintain such other offices at such other
places as the General Partner may deem advisable.
13
The General Partner shall promptly notify the Partners of any change in the
principal place of business of the Partnership. The address of the General
Partner shall continue to be 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx
00000, or at such other place(s) as the General Partner may from time to time
designate in writing to the Partners.
2.7 DEVELOPMENT FEE. Under the terms of the Amended Partnership
Agreement and continuing under the terms of this Agreement, the Partnership is
required to pay the General Partner a development fee in the amount of $4
million for its efforts in developing the Project. As of the date hereof,
$3,600,000 has been paid to the General Partner and the remaining balance of
$400,000 shall be paid in installments of $50,000 at the end of each month from
the date hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any amounts owing on the In-Service
Date shall be paid in full to the General Partner on such date.
ARTICLE 3. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
3.1 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTNER LOANS.
(a) Upon the execution of the Amended Partnership
Agreement, the General Partner made a cash contribution to the capital of the
Partnership in the amount of $1,000. The General Partner's Capital Account
reflects such contribution.
(b) (i) Realty and ENI each made an initial Capital
Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of $500,000 on the date of the IDB
Closing. ENI's Capital Account shall be adjusted to equal two-thirds of the
amount (including a deficit, if any) contained therein as of June 1, 1986 and
Project Capital's Capital Account shall be adjusted to equal one-third of the
amount (including a deficit, if any) contained in ENI's Capital Account as of
June 1, 1986.
(ii) To the extent requested by the General Partner,
ENI, Realty and Project Capital shall make additional Capital Contributions to
the Partnership in an amount up to $7,000,000, $10,500,000 and $3,500,000,
respectively, to fund Total Project Costs.
14
ENI and Realty shall have the right to approve or disapprove (subject to the
same standards as are applicable to the Credit Enhancer) material changes in the
Construction Contract, the Power Purchase Agreement, the Operation and
Maintenance Agreement and any agreement for disposal of a guaranteed annual
tonnage of 25,000 tons of MSW per year or more before making such additional
Capital Contributions or any loans pursuant to Section 3.l(b)(iii) below (and so
long as any such loans shall remain unpaid).
(iii) (A) In the event that Total Project Costs exceed
$103,000,000, to the extent requested by the General Partner, and provided
commercial loans are not available to meet the needs of the Partnership (which
loans shall be deemed available if sources therefor are offered by a Limited
Partner on terms reasonably satisfactory to all of the Partners), the Partners
shall make loans to the Partnership in proportion to the ratio in which the
Partners share in Net Cash Flow to fund additional Project costs necessary to
achieve Final Completion (as defined in the Construction Contract); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Partners shall not be required to make loans under this
Section 3.1(b)(iii)(A) until all Capital Contributions required to be made under
Section 3.1(b)(ii) of this Agreement and all of the proceeds of the Bonds have
been applied by the Trustee to fund Project costs. Amounts outstanding on loans
made under this Section 3.1(b)(iii)(A) shall bear interest at the rate equal to
the prime rate posted from time to time by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York,
plus two percent (2%), which shall be due and payable monthly in arrears prior
to any distributions pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement. Such interest
shall accrue monthly to the extent not paid when due.
(B) If the General Partner cannot make loans
pursuant to Section 3.l(b)(iii)(A) solely from funds available from
distributions of Net Cash Flow, Realty, ENI and Project Capital shall make loans
in proportions equal to 50 percent by Realty, 33.3333 percent by ENI and 16.6667
percent by Project Capital, in an amount equal to the General Partner's loan
obligation pursuant to Section 3.l(b)(iii)(A), which loans shall be repaid by
the General Partner to the Limited Partners solely out of its share of
distributions of Net Cash Flow and shall bear interest at the rate provided for
in Section 3.l(b)(iii)(A) above.
15
(c) To secure its obligation to make Capital Contributions
under Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Amended Partnership Agreement, on the date of
the IDB Closing, ENI delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable letter of credit in
favor of the Trustee, satisfactory to the Credit Enhancer, in the amount of
$10,500,000. The amount of the letter of credit delivered by ENI pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be reduced by $3,500,000 to reflect the portion of
ENI's partnership interest transferred to Project Capital under the Transfer
Agreement. The amount of such letter of credit also shall be reduced by the
amount of the aggregate Capital Contributions made by ENI under Section
3.1(b)(ii) of the Amended Partnership Agreement and Section 3.1(b)(ii) of this
Agreement. To secure its obligation to make loans under Section 3.1(b)(iii) of
this Agreement, ENI hereby covenants with the Partnership and the Partners that
it will reserve $2,000,000 of its authorized capital for purposes of making such
loans.
(d) To secure its obligation to make Capital Contributions
under Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Amended Partnership Agreement on the date of the
IDB Closing, Realty delivered to the Trustee a surety bond in favor of the
Trustee, satisfactory to the Credit Enhancer, in the amount of $10,500,000. Such
surety bond serves to secure the obligation of Realty to make Capital
Contributions under Section 3.1(b)(ii) of this Agreement. The amount of such
surety bond shall be reduced by the amount of the aggregate Capital
Contributions made by Realty under Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Amended Partnership
Agreement and Section 3.1(b)(ii) of this Agreement. To secure its obligation to
make loans under Section 3.1(b)(iii) of this Agreement, Realty delivered to the
Trustee a surety bond in favor of the Credit Enhancer, in the amount of $3
million. Such surety bond serves to secure the obligation of Realty to make
loans under Section 3.1(b)(iii) of this Agreement.
(e) To secure its obligation to make Capital Contributions
under Section 3.1(b)(ii) of this Agreement, on the date hereof, Project Capital
shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable letter of credit in
favor of the Trustee, satisfactory to the Credit Enhancer, in the amount of
$3,500,000. The amount of such letter of credit shall be reduced by the amount
of the aggregate Capital Contributions made by Project Capital under Section
3.1(b)(ii) of this Agreement.
16
To secure its obligation to make loans under Section 3.1(b)(iii) of this
Agreement, Project Capital shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee promptly
after the date hereof a letter of credit in favor of the Credit Enhancer, in the
amount of $1,000,000.
(f) If the General Partner reasonably determines that the
Partnership, after demanding payment from all parties obligated either to lend
funds to the Partnership or to repay any debt or obligation to the Partnership,
in whole or in part, will be unable to make a payment of principal or interest,
as the case may be, on a timely basis with respect to the Assumed Debt, the
General Partner may, in its sole discretion, require that Project Capital make
additional Capital Contributions, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
aggregate amount required to make such principal or interest payment and (ii)
the maximum amount then payable by Project Capital in respect of its obligations
under Section 3.3 and the Assumption Agreement, in order to enable the
Partnership to make payments of principal and interest pursuant to the terms of
the Loan Agreement. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to demand
such additional Capital Contributions at the earliest practicable time in
advance of the date such payment, with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by
the Loan Agreement, is required to be made. Upon the demand of the General
Partner, Project Capital shall make such Capital Contributions 15 days prior to
the date such payment is due, unless demand is made less than 15 days prior to
the due date, in which case such Capital Contributions shall be made as soon as
practicable. If Project Capital shall pay to the Trustee on behalf of the City
any amount pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, then the amount of the
additional Capital Contribution which may be demanded by the General Partner
from Project Capital shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any amount
so paid, and any such payments under the Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to
be additional Capital Contributions under this Section 3.1(f) and shall increase
the Capital Account of Project Capital. As between the General Partner and
Project Capital, Project Capital shall be liable for any repayments of
borrowings pursuant to the Loan Agreement but only to the extent of their
obligation under the Assumption Agreement, and Project Capital shall have no
right of contribution from the General Partner or the Partnership in the event
that Project Capital is required to make payment under this Section 3.l(f) or
the Assumption
17
Agreement. The obligation of Project Capital to make additional Capital
Contributions under this Section 3.1(f) shall terminate at such time as its
obligation to make payments pursuant to the Assumption Agreement terminates;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such obligation to make additional Capital Contributions
shall continue to be effective, to the same extent provided for in the
Assumption Agreement.
(g) If a Limited Partner shall fail to make any Capital
Contribution payment or loan within 30 days after notice from any Partner that
the payment is due, and the Trustee is unable to draw on the letter of credit or
surety bond securing the obligation to make such Capital Contribution or loan,
the Limited Partner shall be in default upon the delivery of a notice of such
failure by the General Partner to the defaulting Limited Partner and each other
Partner and, upon such default, interest on the unpaid balance of the Capital
Contribution amount then due and payable shall accrue at the rate equal to the
prime rate posted from time to time by Xxxxxxxx, N.A., New York, New York, plus
two percent (2%) from the date when said payment was due until the date paid.
During the period of any such default, (i) the General Partner may commence
legal proceedings against the defaulting Limited Partner to compel payment of
all amounts due as a Capital Contribution, and all costs and expenses of
collection incurred by the Partnership (including reasonable attorney's fees);
(ii) the defaulting Limited Partner shall not be entitled to any distributions
or allocations of profits, losses or other Partnership items; and (iii) each
non-defaulting Limited Partner shall have, on a pro rata basis among all such
non-defaulting Limited Partners, the right (but not the obligation), (1) to pay
all of such amounts due as a Capital Contribution and shall acquire, to the
extent so paid, an increased proportionate interest in the Limited Partnership
interests in the Partnership, and (2) to make such loans.
(h) In the event of default pursuant to Section 3.l(g) of
this Agreement, all unpaid Capital Contributions of the defaulting Limited
Partner may become immediately due and payable at the option of the General
Partner and the interest in the Partnership of the defaulting Limited Partner
shall be subject to Transfer as provided herein without any consent of the
defaulting Limited Partner. The General Partner may, subject
18
to the provisions of this Section 3.1(h), sell all or any part of the defaulting
Limited Partner's interest for the Partnership's benefit to any Person on the
best terms reasonably obtainable; provided that prior to consummating any such
sale (including, without limitation, any sale to any Partner) each
non-defaulting Limited Partner shall have the right (but not the obligation),
upon 15 days' prior written notice, to acquire at such price its pro rata share
thereof based on the interest of all non-defaulting Limited Partners in the
Partnership, and of any such interest which any such Limited Partner fails to so
acquire. If the interest is sold at a price in excess of the defaulting Limited
Partner's remaining liabilities and costs, the General Partner shall remit the
excess to the defaulting Limited Partner. The defaulting Limited Partner shall
be liable for any and all costs of sale of the interest, whether the interest is
actually sold or not. If the interest is sold at a price less than the
defaulting Limited Partner's remaining liabilities and costs, the defaulting
Limited Partner shall be immediately liable for the difference; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the defaulting Limited Partner's obligations hereunder shall be
relieved to the extent of payments actually made in the defaulting Limited
Partner's stead by any purchaser of the defaulting Limited Partner's interest.
(i) Any Person purchasing the interest of a defaulting
Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall become a Substitute Limited
Partner upon compliance with the provisions of Section 10.3; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if a nondefaulting Limited Partner acquires the interest of the defaulting
Limited Partner, such nondefaulting Limited Partner may become a Substitute
Limited Partner without compliance with the provisions of Sections 10.3(a) and
(d) of this Agreement.
3.2 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Except as hereinabove set
forth, no Partner shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions
to the Partnership without the Consent of all the Partners.
3.3 ASSUMPTION OF PARTNERSHIP LIABILITIES. Project Capital shall
assume and become personally liable for the liability of the Partnership arising
from the
19
Loan Agreement as provided in and limited by the terms and conditions set forth
in the Assumption Agreement.
3.4 NO INTEREST ON CAPITAL. No interest shall be paid to any
Partner on all or a portion of a Capital Contribution or on a balance in its
Capital Account.
3.5 CAPITAL WITHDRAWALS AND RETURNS. No Partner shall have the
right to withdraw or reduce its contributions to the capital of the Partnership
except in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to a Transfer of its
partnership interest or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided herein, no
Partner shall have the right to demand or receive property, other than cash, in
return for its Capital Contribution or have priority over another Partner,
either as to the return of contribution of capital or as to profits, losses, or
distributions, or as to compensation by way of income.
3.6 WAIVER OF PARTITION AND DISSOLUTION RIGHT. The Partners
hereby waive and forfeit all rights arising out of statute or operation of law
to seek, bring or maintain in any court an action for partition pertaining to
any asset of the Partnership, or an action seeking dissolution of the
Partnership, unless the General Partner has consented to such dissolution.
3.7 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A Capital Account shall be maintained with
respect to each Partner in accordance with Federal income tax accounting
principles and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b). Except as otherwise
provided herein, each Capital Account shall be credited with the amount of the
cash contribution to the capital of the Partnership by such Partner, the fair
market value of property contributed to the Partnership by such Partner (net of
liabilities assumed with respect to such interest and liabilities to which such
contributed property is subject), the distributive share of Partnership income
and gain (or items thereof) as allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section
4.1, and the distributive share of income exempt from tax. Each Capital Account
shall be charged for the amount of any loss or deduction (or items thereof)
allocated to such Partner
20
pursuant to Section 4.1, the amount of all distributions in cash to such Partner
pursuant to this Agreement, the fair market value of property distributed to
such Partner (net of liabilities assumed with respect to such interest and
liabilities to which such distributed property is subject), and the distributive
share of expenditures of the Partnership described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of
the Code (which share shall be determined in accordance with the allocable
interests in the Partnership). The following rules shall apply in maintaining
Capital Accounts with respect to interests in the Partnership:
(a) A Partner who has more than one interest in the
Partnership shall have a single Capital Account that reflects all such
interests, regardless of the class of interests owned by such Partner (e.g.,
general or limited) and regardless of the time or manner in which such interests
were acquired.
(b) For purposes of this Section 3.7, amounts described in
Section 709 of the Code (other than amounts with respect to which an election is
in effect under Section 709(b) of the Code) shall be treated as described in
Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code.
(c) If property is distributed by the Partnership, Capital
Accounts shall be adjusted as though such property had been sold on the date of
such distribution for its then fair market value, and any gain or loss on such
sale had been allocated in accordance with Section 4.1.
(d) If property is contributed to the Partnership, Capital
Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3).
(e) Capital Accounts shall be adjusted, in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j), to reflect any adjustments to
the basis of Partnership property under Section 48(q) of the Code.
21
ARTICLE 4. PROFITS AND LOSSES.
4.1 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.
(a) Commencing on the date hereof and continuing up to the
fifth anniversary of the In-Service Date, all Partnership items of income, gain,
loss, deduction or credit, as determined for Federal income tax purposes, shall
be allocated as follows: 1 percent to the General Partner, 49.5 percent to
Realty, 33 percent to ENI, and 16.5 percent to Project Capital; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that losses shall be allocated first to Partners who have positive
Capital Account balances, and shall not be allocated to a Partner who has a
negative Capital Account balance when any other Partner has a positive Capital
Account balance.
(b) For each year during the remaining term of the
Partnership:
(i) Except as set forth in Section 4.1(d), the Net
Taxable Income of the Partnership shall be allocated (X) first, to those
Partners who have heretofore received aggregate distributions of Net Cash Flow
(including those made in the year of determination) in excess of the aggregate
net taxable income (excluding that of the year of determination) allocated to
them, which allocation shall be in proportion to such excess; and, (Y) then, the
balance (if any) to all Partners in accordance with the percentages in which
they share in Net Cash Flow in the year of determination; and
(ii) The Net Tax Losses of the Partnership shall be
allocated (X) first, to those Partners who have heretofore been allocated
aggregate net taxable income (excluding that in the year of determination) in
excess of the aggregate distribution of Net Cash Flow (including that in the
year of determination) received by them, which allocation shall be in proportion
to such excess; and, (Y) then, the balance (if any) to all Partners in
accordance with their sharing percentages of Net Cash Flow in the year of
determination; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that losses shall be allocated first to
Partners who have positive Capital Account balances and will not be allocated to
a Partner who has a negative Capital Account balance when any other Partner has
a positive Capital Account balance.
22
(c) For purposes of Section 4.1(b) "aggregate net taxable
income" is the excess of the Net Taxable Income of the Partnership for prior
years previously allocated to a Partner over the Net Tax Losses of the
Partnership during such period previously allocated to such Partner.
(d) Any gain attributable to the sale or Disposition,
financing or refinancing, of the Project shall be allocated as follows: first,
to any Partners with negative Capital Accounts, in an amount necessary to
restore their Capital Accounts to zero; then 10 percent to the General Partner,
45 percent to Realty, 30 percent to ENI and 15 percent to Project Capital.
4.2 RESTORATION OF NEGATIVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. Except as may be
required by law, or in respect of any negative balance resulting from withdrawal
of capital or a distribution in contravention of this Agreement, at no time
during the term of the Partnership shall a Partner with a negative balance in
its Capital Account have any obligation to the Partnership or to another Partner
to restore such negative balance.
4.3 PARTNERSHIP ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of the Transfer of all
or any part of the Partnership interest of a Partner or upon the death of a
Partner (if such Partner is a natural person), the Partnership shall elect to
adjust the basis of Partnership property. Any increase or decrease in the amount
of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit attributable to an
adjustment to the basis of Partnership assets made pursuant to such election
under Sections 734, 743 and 754 of the Code, and pursuant to corresponding
provisions of applicable state and local income tax laws, shall be charged or
credited, as the case may be, to those Partners entitled thereto under such
laws. For purposes of the foregoing, Project Capital shall be deemed to have
joined the Partnership on June 1, 1986.
4.4 ALLOCATIONS TO TRANSFERRED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS. Profits,
gains, losses, deductions and credits allocated to a Partnership interest
assigned or reissued during a Fiscal Year shall be allocated to each Person who
was the holder of the Partnership interest
23
during such Fiscal Year, in proportion to the number of days that each such
holder was recognized as the owner of such Partnership interest during such
Fiscal Year or during an interim period in respect of which the books of the
Partnership shall be closed, as the case may be, or in any other manner
permitted by the Code and selected by the General Partner in accordance with
this Agreement, without regard to the results of Partnership operations or the
date, amount or recipient of any distributions which may have been made with
respect to such Partnership interest. The effective date of the assignment shall
be (a) in the case of a voluntary assignment, the actual date the assignment as
recorded on the books of the Partnership, or (b) in the case of involuntary
assignment, the date of the operative event; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the case of
the transfer of the partnership interest to Project Capital, June 1, 1986 shall
be the effective date of such transfer.
ARTICLE 5. DISTRIBUTIONS.
5.1 NET CASH FLOW. The Net Cash Flow of the Partnership (and any
reserves that may have been set aside and that are subsequently deemed available
for distribution by the General Partner) shall be distributed as follows: 10
percent to the General Partner, 45 percent to Realty, 30 percent to ENI and 15
percent to Project Capital, PROVIDED, HOWEVER that the Net Cash Flow of the
Partnership shall be distributed to Project Capital until the aggregate of the
amounts paid by Project Capital under the Assumption Agreement have been repaid
to Project Capital pursuant to this Section 5.1. Such distributions shall be
made at the end of each calendar quarter, except as otherwise required by the
Reimbursement Agreement, in which case distributions shall be made only in
accordance therewith.
5.2 NET SALE OR REFINANCING PROCEEDS. Net Sale or Refinancing
Proceeds shall be distributed promptly upon receipt as follows: 10 percent to
the General Partner, 45 percent to Realty, 30 percent to ENI and 15 percent to
Project Capital.
24
5.3 DISTRIBUTIONS IN KIND. During the existence of the
Partnership, no Partner shall be entitled to receive as distributions from the
Partnership any Partnership asset other than money. If upon termination and
liquidation of the Partnership, the General Partner determines that (a) an
immediate sale of part or all of the assets of the Partnership would cause undue
loss to the Partners, and (b) the assets of the Partnership would be readily
susceptible to division for distribution in kind to the Partners, then to that
extent the General Partner may distribute such assets to the Partners in kind.
For such purposes, the assets of the Partnership shall be valued at fair market
value at the time of distribution.
ARTICLE 6. POWERS, RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE GENERAL PARTNER.
6.1 MANAGEMENT.
(a) The General Partner shall have exclusive management and
control of the business of the Partnership and all decisions regarding the
management and affairs of the Partnership shall be made by the General Partner.
The General Partner shall have all the rights and powers of a General Partner as
provided in the Act and as otherwise provided by law, and any action taken by
the General Partner shall constitute the act of and serve to bind the
Partnership. In dealing with the General Partner acting on behalf of the
Partnership, no Person shall be required to inquire into its authority to bind
the Partnership. Persons dealing with the Partnership are entitled to rely
conclusively upon the power and authority of the General Partner as set forth in
this Agreement.
(b) The General Partner shall devote such time to the
Partnership business as it shall reasonably deem to be necessary to supervise
the Partnership's business and affairs in an efficient manner; but nothing
contained in this Agreement shall preclude the employment, at the expense of the
Partnership, of any agent or other third party to operate and manage all or any
portion of the property, business or operations of the Partnership, subject to
the control of the General Partner. Subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement,
Affiliates of the General Partner may be employed by the Partnership to
25
perform any other services for the Partnership deemed reasonably necessary by
the General Partner, provided that the amount charged to the Partnership for
such services will not exceed the amounts which the Partnership would be
required to pay to independent parties for such services.
(c) In furtherance of the purpose of the Partnership as set
forth in Section 2.4 of this Agreement, the General Partner is hereby granted
the right, power and authority to do on behalf of the Partnership all things
which, in its sole and reasonable judgment, are necessary, proper or desirable
to carry out its duties and responsibilities hereunder, including, but not
limited to, the following: from time to time to incur all reasonable
expenditures; to employ and dismiss from employment any and all employees,
agents, contractors, brokers, attorneys and accountants; to create, by grant or
otherwise, easements and servitudes; to borrow money on an unsecured basis; to
borrow money in any amount from any Person other than the General Partner,
including any Affiliates of the General Partner, on a recourse or nonrecourse
basis, and as security therefor to mortgage all or any part of the Partnership's
property; to renovate, alter, improve, repair, raze, replace or rebuild any
building or other improvement on all or any portion of any Partnership property
which is real estate; to purchase or acquire interests in real or personal
property; to obtain refinancings or replacements of any mortgages or other
security instruments related in any way to any Partnership property, and to
prepay in whole or in part, refinance, recast, modify, consolidate or extend any
of the terms of any indebtedness owed by the Partnership or affecting all or any
portion of any Partnership property; to do any and all of the foregoing at such
price or amount for cash, securities or other property and upon such terms as
the General Partner deems proper; to place record title to any of the
Partnership's property in its name or in the name of a nominee or a trustee for
the purpose of mortgage financing or any other convenience or benefit of the
Partnership; and to execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all contracts,
agreements or other instruments to effectuate any and all of the foregoing;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the General Partner shall not, without the prior Consent
of ENI and Realty, (i) consent or agree to the substitution or replacement of
the Credit Enhancer by any other Person (except that such Consent shall not be
required if National
26
Westminster Bank PLC is substituted for the Credit Enhancer pursuant to Section
8.3(a) of the Reimbursement Agreement), (ii) contract for or otherwise agree to
the sale or mortgage of, or sell or grant a mortgage or security interest in,
the Project, other than to secure the Bonds, (iii) permit the Partnership to
issue any bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness in connection with any
offer, issuance or sale thereof to the public, other than the Bonds, or (iv)
create, incur, or assure any indebtedness for borrowed money except as permitted
by the Reimbursement Agreement and borrowings from Partners pursuant to this
Agreement. The General Partner shall serve as the Tax Matters Partner, as
defined in the Code, and cause the preparation of all tax and information
returns for the Partnership (including, but not limited to, Federal, state and
local income tax and information returns).
(d) The General Partner shall not be required to manage the
Partnership as its sole and exclusive function, and it may have other business
interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those relating to
the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right by
virtue of this Agreement or the Partnership relationship created hereby in or to
such other ventures or activities or to the income or proceeds derived
therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures shall not be deemed wrongful or
improper. No Partner nor any Affiliate of a Partner shall be obligated to
present any particular investment opportunity to the Partnership even if such
opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, could be
taken by the Partnership, and each of them shall have the right to take for its
own account (individually or otherwise) or to recommend to others any such
particular investment opportunity.
(e) No Partner shall intentionally take or cause to be
taken any action which constitutes a default under any contracts or agreements
to which the Partnership is a party, nor shall any Partner perform any act in
violation of any applicable law or regulation thereunder, including all
applicable Federal and state securities laws.
27
6.2 FIDUCIARY DUTIES. The General Partner shall have the
fiduciary duty to conduct the affairs of the Partnership for the exclusive
benefit of the Partnership and to use all Partnership funds and assets in the
best interests of the Partnership. All funds of the Partnership (other than
those invested in Qualified Investments) shall be deposited in the name of the
Partnership in separate interest-bearing accounts in a bank or a savings and
loan association, and the General Partner shall have full authority on behalf of
the Partnership to adopt such resolutions as may be required by any such bank or
savings and loan association for the operation of such account, to make deposits
and withdrawals from such account, to make and execute the checks, drafts, notes
and other instruments representing funds of the Partnership in such account,
and to take any and all such other action as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the operation of such account. The General Partner may otherwise
invest the funds of the Partnership only in Qualified Investments.
6.3 BUSINESS WITH AFFILIATES OR ASSOCIATES. The General Partner
shall not cause the Partnership to transact any business with the General
Partner, collectively or individually, or an Affiliate or Associate thereof,
for goods or services in connection with the conduct of the Partnership's
business, except that such transaction may be effected if the transaction is on
terms competitive with those that may be obtained from unaffiliated Persons.
6.4 COMPENSATION. In consideration of the services to be
performed by the General Partner after the In-Service Date, the General Partner
shall be paid an annual Management Fee in the amount of $300,000. The Management
Fee shall be paid on the last day of each calendar quarter in arrears commencing
on the last day of the first calendar quarter following the In-Service Date and
continuing thereafter during the remaining term of the Partnership. The first
such payment shall be prorated according to the actual number of days between
the In-Service Date and the last day of the first full calendar quarter
following the In-Service Date.
28
6.5 REIMBURSEMENT. The Partnership shall reimburse the General
Partner for the cost of goods, materials and services used for or by the
Partnership. The General Partner shall not be reimbursed by the Partnership for
any indirect expenses incurred in performing services for the Partnership, such
as officers' salaries, rent, utilities and other overhead items. The Partnership
shall, however, reimburse the General Partner for services which could be
performed directly for the Partnership by independent parties, such as legal,
accounting, duplicating and other similar services. Such amounts charged to the
Partnership shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the actual cost of such services
to the party providing them, or (b) the amount which the Partnership would be
required to pay to independent parties for comparable services. Each such
payment and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be made
regardless of whether any distributions are made to the Limited Partner and
shall be in addition to the other payments or benefits described herein.

Notice, for a purchase price and on terms and conditions no more favorable to
the Transferee than those contained in the Partnership Offer Notice and only to

interest of the Assigning Limited Partner. The Non-Assigning Limited Partners

require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right

48
same or of any other additional or different term, covenant, or condition of

Partnership of any Partnership asset other than money. If upon termination
and liquidation of the Partnership and after the payment or provision for
payment in full of the Limited Partner Loans, the Management Fees of KTI
accrued as of February 28, 1990 and the Bonds, the General Partner
determines that (a) an immediate sale of part or all of the assets of the
Partnership would cause undue loss to the Partners, and (b) the assets of
the Partnership would be readily susceptible to division for distribution
in kind to the Partners, then to that extent the General Partner may
distribute such assets to the Partners in kind, subject to the provisions
of the Waste Handling Agreements requiring Residual Cancellation Payments
to be made to certain qualifying Charter Municipalities.
21. The proviso in Section 6.1(c) is amended to require the consent
of ENI, Realty and Project Capital in place of ENI and Realty and the
parenthetical phrase in clause (i) is deleted.
22. Paragraph (c) of Section 6.1 is amended by deleting the proviso
at the end of such paragraph and replacing it with the following:

provided in Section 3.1(b)(ii), the General Partner shall not, without the
prior consent of ENI, Realty and Project Capital (i) consent or agree to
the substitution or replacement of the Credit Enhancer by any other Person,
(ii) contract for or otherwise agree to the sale or mortgage of, or sell or
grant a mortgage or security interest in, the Project, other than to secure
the Bonds, (iii) permit the Partnership to issue any bonds, notes or other
evidences of indebtedness in connection with any offer, issuance or sale
thereof to the public, other than the Bonds, or (iv) create, incur, or
assure any indebtedness for borrowed money except as permitted by the
Reimbursement Agreement and borrowings from Partners pursuant to this
Agreement. The General Partner shall serve as the Tax Matters Partner, as
defined in the Code, and cause the preparation of all tax and information
returns for the Partnership (including, but not limited to, Federal, state
and local income tax and information returns).

Limited Partnership Agreement is amended in
its entirety to read as follows:

performed by the General Partner after the In-Service Date and through
February 28, 1990 the General Partner shall be paid an annual Management
Fee of $300,000 (of which amount it is acknowledged and agreed that
$857,534

1, 1990 the General Partner shall be paid a Management Fee in the amount of
$16,667 per month in full payment of all of its profits and overhead costs
for managing the Partnership; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the payment of such
Management Fee shall at all times be subject to the terms and conditions of
the Waste Handling Agreements, including the provisions in Subarticle C of
Article XI of the Waste Handling Agreements requiring that KTI as General
Partner shall forego the payment of a portion of such Management Fee to
enable the Partnership to pay each Charter Municipality the Cancellation
Adjustment (as defined in the Waste Handling Agreements).
(b) The General Partner will subordinate its Management Fees
accrued through February 28, 1990, until the Partnership's Net Cash Flow
and/or Net Sale or Refinancing Proceeds are sufficient to begin retiring
the Limited Partner Loans in accordance with Section 5.1 and 5.2 of the
Partnership Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a portion of such accrued
and unpaid Management Fees may be paid out of Net Recoveries to the extent
available as provided in Section 3.8 of the Partnership Agreement.
24. Section 6.6 of the Partnership Agreement is amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
6.6 ESTABLISHMENT OF RESERVES. (a) The Partnership shall establish
and maintain the Reserve Funds and such other funds as provided for by the
Trust Indenture, the Reimbursement Agreement and the Waste Handling
Agreements and shall cause to be deposited therein such amounts as are or
may be required pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Trust Indenture, the
Reimbursement Agreement and the Waste Handling Agreements. At such time as
the Partnership is no longer required to maintain such Reserve Funds or any
such other funds, the amounts in such funds shall be applied in the same
manner as Net Cash Flow.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the General Partner
may from time to time establish such reserves for the Partnership as it in
good xxxxx xxxxx reasonable and necessary. At such time as the General
Partner deems such reserves no longer necessary, they shall be applied in
the same manner as Net Cash Flow. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing the General Partner shall establish and maintain reserves for the
Cancellation Adjustments and Charter Adjustments (as defined in the Waste
Handling Agreements) in a manner satisfactory to the Oversight Committee
(as defined in the Operation and Maintenance Agreement).

to Section 7.1 refers to Section 7.1 of the Reimbursement Agreement.
