GENERAL INTERCREDITOR ARRANGEMENTS
2.01 Sharing of Information. Each Secured Party and each Applicable
Agent shall use reasonable efforts promptly to make available to all other
Secured Parties, Applicable Agents and the Collateral Trustee any material
information it receives in its capacity as a Secured Party or Applicable Agent,
as the case may be, regarding (a) the construction or operation of the Project,
the prospects for the timely achievement of Final Completion by the Guaranteed
Final Completion Date, or the financial condition or business of any of the
Borrower, the Partnership or the Partners, (b) the Borrower's and the
Partnership's ability to pay the Senior Debt Obligations when due, (c) the
security interests granted by or pursuant to the Common Security Agreement and
the other Security Documents, (d) the ability of any of the Borrower, the
Partnership or the Partners to comply with their obligations under each of the
Financing Documents, (e) the ability of any of the parties to the Project
Documents to comply with their obligations thereunder, (f) the occurrence of any
Event of Default or Potential Default or (g) any other matter regarding any of
the Borrower, the Partnership or the Partners or the Senior Debt that such
Secured Party, or Applicable Agent, as the case may be, in its reasonable
judgment, considers to be of common interest to the Secured Parties, provided
that (i) this Section 2.01 shall not require any Secured Party or Applicable
Agent to make available to the Collateral Trustee information that, (A) in such
Secured Party's reasonable judgment, is not of common interest to the other
Secured Parties, (B) that is subject to confidentiality restrictions that
prohibit such disclosure or (C) that such Secured Party or Applicable Agent
reasonably believes to have already been provided to the other Secured Parties,
Applicable Agents and the Collateral Trustee and (ii) no Secured Party or
Applicable Agent shall have any liability for any failure to make available to
any other Secured Party, Applicable Agent or the Collateral Trustee such
information or for any inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such information made
available by it in good faith.
2.02 Notice of Non-Pro Rata Payments. To the extent applicable,
each Secured Party shall notify each Applicable Agent and the Collateral Trustee
of any payment received in respect of Senior Debt Obligations or Oil Payment
Insurance Obligations in excess of its pro rata share of such obligations then
due under its respective Financing Document.
2.03 General Consultation. The Secured Parties agree that, without
affecting in any manner the rights of the Secured Parties and without improving
in any way the rights or defenses of any of the Borrower, the Partnership or the
Partners, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, they shall endeavor
to afford each other a reasonable opportunity to exchange views before taking
any action that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or significantly disadvantage certain Secured Parties in favor of other Secured
Parties.
-3-
Subject to the voting provisions set forth in the Common Security
Agreement and the percentage of Secured Parties required to take action or make
decisions thereunder or under any other Financing Document, it is the intention
of each Secured Party that, in connection with any action or decision requiring
a determination by more than one Secured Party, all Secured Parties entitled
pursuant to the Common Security Agreement to vote thereon are to be afforded the
opportunity to express their views, and to vote, on the matter subject to such
determination.
Any Secured Party may, at any time following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, request that a meeting or
meetings of Secured Parties, at reasonable times and locations, and with
reasonable frequency, be convened, and upon such request having been given in
accordance with this Section 2.03, such meetings shall be convened as provided
in this Agreement. Such a request for a meeting shall be made in a written
notice given to the Collateral Trustee and each Applicable Agent in accordance
herewith. Each such notice shall state the date of such meeting (which shall be
not less than 15 nor more than 30 days after the date of such notice, unless
otherwise agreed by all Secured Parties) and a general outline of the issues to
be discussed at such meeting. Any Secured Party shall have the right to appoint
any other Person (including another Secured Party) to act as its representative
at any such meeting of Secured Parties. No Secured Party shall be obligated to
attend any such meetings.
2.04 Voting Restrictions. In each instance that a vote with respect
to any consent, waiver, approval, direction, amendment, supplement, other
modification or other matter is to be cast in accordance with the Common
Security Agreement or the Transfer Restrictions Agreement, no Secured Party that
is an Affiliate of any of the Borrower, the Partnership, the Partners, the
Shareholders or the Xxxxx Entities (each, a "Non-Voting Lender") shall be
entitled to participate in such vote and Senior Debt and Senior Debt Commitments
held by a Non-Voting Lender shall not be considered outstanding for the purpose
of determining the percentages of outstanding principal amount of Senior Debt
and Senior Debt Commitments under the definitions of "Majority Lenders",
"Requisite Lenders", "Supermajority Lenders", "Majority Secured Parties",
"Requisite Secured Parties" and "Supermajority Secured Parties", provided that
in no event shall any amendment, modification or waiver of Section 2.06 or
Section 2.07 that is adverse to any Non-Voting Lender be made without the
written consent of such Non-Voting Lender.
2.05 No Reliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Common
Security Agreement, no Secured Party has relied or shall rely on any other
Secured Party, any Applicable Agent or the Collateral Trustee (a) to inquire
into or verify the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by any
of the Borrower, the Partnership or the Partners or made available by any
Secured Party to any other Secured Party on or prior to the date hereof, or
hereafter pursuant to Section 2.01 or (b) to review or evaluate the condition of
any of the Borrower, the Partnership, the Partners or the Project. Each Secured
Party acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own credit decision, and
shall take, or refrain from taking, any future decision or action, on the basis
of its own independent judgment, without reliance on information provided by or
expected from, or on views expressed by, any other Secured Party, any Applicable
Agent or the Collateral Trustee.
-4-
2.06 Sharing of Non-Pro Rata Payments. Each Secured Party agrees
that in the event any Secured Party shall obtain payment of any amounts due to
it on or in respect of Senior Debt Obligations or Oil Payment Insurance
Obligations from the Borrower, the Partnership or from any other Person, whether
through exercise of a right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim, or from
any realization (whether through attachment, foreclosure or otherwise) of assets
of the Borrower, the Partnership or either of the Partners, or otherwise, and
such payment is not in accordance with such Secured Party's pro rata share of
such obligations then due under its respective Financing Document, then, except
to the extent such payment is an Excluded Payment (as defined in Section 2.07),
such Secured Party shall promptly remit to the Collateral Trustee for
distribution to other Secured Parties the amount of such payment necessary to
ensure that each Secured Party shall have received only its pro rata share of
such obligations, provided that, if at such time redistribution of such payment
in such manner is inadvisable in the judgment of any Secured Party, then at the
request of such Secured Party, Secured Parties shall promptly consult with each
other to determine whether there is a preferable manner to make equitable
adjustments (including the purchase by such Secured Party of Senior Debt
Obligations or Oil Payment Insurance Obligations, as the case may be, held by
other Secured Parties) to permit all Secured Parties to share such payment (net
of expenses incurred by the recipient Secured Party in obtaining or preserving
such payment) pro rata, provided, further, that, if the Capital Markets Trustee
shall have acted negligently in distributing such non-pro rata payment, it shall
be liable to the other Secured Parties to the extent that the amounts so paid
are not remitted promptly to the Collateral Trustee. If any such redistributed
or shared payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured
Party which first obtained it, each other Secured Party that shares the benefit
of such payment shall return to such Secured Party its portion of the payment so
rescinded or required to be restored.
2.07 Excluded Payments. The following payments on or in respect of
Senior Debt Obligations or Oil Payment Insurance Obligations shall constitute
"Excluded Payments":
(a) any payment pursuant to a contract of guaranty, indemnity or
insurance applicable to Senior Debt Obligations or Oil Payment Insurance
Obligations, as the case may be, made by any Person other than any of the
Borrower, the Partnership and the Partners, the Shareholders, the Xxxxx
Entities and any of their respective Affiliates;
(b) the pro rata share otherwise allocable under this Agreement to
any particular Secured Party of any payment received by another Secured
Party as a result of an action or proceeding commenced by such Secured
Party in a court to the extent that, after receipt of timely notice of the
commencement of such action or proceeding by the particular Secured Party,
such particular Secured Party does not (i) join such action or proceeding
or agree to share (pro rata in accordance with the outstanding Senior Debt
Obligations or Oil Payment Insurance Obligations held by it) the costs and
expenses of such action or proceeding or (ii) commence and diligently
prosecute a separate action or proceeding in any appropriate court to
collect the analogous obligations of the Borrower, the Partnership and the
Partners owing to such particular Secured Party; and
-5-
(c) any payment or prepayment to one or more Secured Parties or
Senior Lender Groups pursuant to, and to the extent permitted under,
Article II of the Common Security Agreement that is not required to be a
Pro Rata Payment.
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of the Common
Security Agreement or any other Financing Document to the contrary, no Secured
Party shall have any obligation to share any payment made by any Person to such
Secured Party pursuant to a contract of participation or assignment or any other
arrangement by which a direct or indirect interest of such Secured Party under
the Financing Documents is transferred.
2.08 Termination of Senior Debt Commitments. In the event the
Senior Debt Commitment of a Secured Party is terminated in full prior to
disbursement of any Senior Loans by such Secured Party, such Secured Party shall
cease to be a party to the Common Security Agreement, the Security Documents and
the Transfer Restrictions Agreement.
ARTICLE III
OIL PAYMENT INSURANCE ARRANGEMENTS

Insurance Policy in accordance with its terms, subject to suspension or
termination of such coverage in accordance with the Oil Payment Insurance Policy

with the relevant reinsurance documentation.
3.03 Rights under Debt Service Reserve Insurance Guarantee. The
Senior Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that each Oil Payment Insurer shall
have the right, at its sole discretion, to renounce any payment under the Debt
Service Insurance Guarantee to which it may be entitled, provided that no such
renunciation with respect to any Oil
-6-
Payment Reimbursement Obligation held by such Oil Payment Insurer shall operate
as a waiver with respect to any other Oil Payment Reimbursement Obligation or
any other rights such Oil Payment Insurer may have under the Debt Service
Reserve Insurance Guarantee.
ARTICLE IV
DEBT SERVICE RESERVE INSURANCE ARRANGEMENTS
4.01 General Covenants of the Debt Service Reserve Insurer. The

(b) The Debt Service Reserve Insurer hereby agrees that it shall
not be entitled to any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any
Collateral or any other proceeds with respect to the Collateral, unless and

Reimbursement Obligations have been paid in full. If at any time the Debt
Service Reserve Insurer receives any such proceeds and if at such time the
Senior Debt Obligations and the Oil Payment Reimbursement Obligations shall not
have been paid in full, the Debt Service Reserve Insurer shall hold such
proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and shall promptly

(c) With respect to the Collateral, so long as any Senior Debt

accruing to the Secured Parties by reason of the Common
-7-

Agreement and Financing Statement, dated as of August 19, 1999, by the
Partnership for the benefit of the Debt Service Reserve Insurer, without the
prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee. The Debt Service Reserve

applicable Uniform Commercial Codes as adopted.
