SERIES
2008A EXEMPT FACILITIES LOAN AGREEMENT dated as of December 1, 2008 (the
“Agreement”) between PENNSYLVANIA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCING AUTHORITY (the
“Authority”) and PPL ENERGY SUPPLY, LLC (together with permitted successors and
assigns, the “Company”).




I.           Background,
Definitions, Representations and Findings.




Section
1.1  Background.  Pursuant to the Pennsylvania
Economic Development Financing Law (Act No. 102, approved August 23, 1967, P.L.
251, as amended) (the “Act”), the Montour County Industrial Development
Authority has authorized and approved the Project Facilities (as defined herein)
and the financing thereof by the Authority through the issuance of the
Authority’s Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A (PPL Energy Supply,
LLC Project) in the original aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the
“Bonds”) and the loan of the proceeds thereof to the Company to finance a
portion of the costs of the installation of certain “pollution control
facilities” (as defined in the Act) consisting of limestone forced-oxidation
flue gas desulfurization systems (or sulfur dioxide scrubbers) at (i) the
Montour County Generating Station, Washingtonville, Montour County,
Pennsylvania, (ii) the Brunner Island Generating System, York Haven, York
County, Pennsylvania and (iii) the Keystone Generating Station, Plum Creek
Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania (collectively, the “Plants”), such
facilities as more fully described in Exhibit A are herein called the “Project
Facilities”.




The Bonds will be issued under a Series
2008A Trust Indenture dated as of the date hereof (the “Indenture”) between the
Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the
“Trustee”).  The Company and the Authority are entering into this
Agreement in order to provide for the issuance of the Bonds and the loan of the
proceeds of the Bonds to the Company.




The
obligation of the Company to repay the loan of the proceeds of the Bonds made
pursuant hereto will be evidenced by the Company’s Exempt Facilities Note
(Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority) Series 2008A in the
principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Note”) issued to the Trustee as the
assignee of the Authority under the Indenture.  Nothing herein shall
require the Company to maintain any Credit Facility (as defined in the
Indenture).




The
Authority and the Company intend that substantially all of the Project
Facilities constitute or will constitute “pollution control facilities” for
purposes of the Act and solid waste disposal facilities for the purposes of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), so that interest on the
Bonds will not be included in gross income of the holders thereof for federal
income tax purposes under the Code (except for such holders who are “substantial
users” of the Project Facilities or “related persons” as provided in Section
147(a) of the Code).

the form of the disbursement request attached hereto as Exhibit B and shall be
consecutively numbered and accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail
listing the Project Costs to be paid to any contractors, materialmen or
suppliers or incurred by the Company for which it is to be
reimbursed.  Any disbursement for any item which is inconsistent with
the information statement filed by the Authority in connection with the issuance
of the Bonds as required by Section 149(e) of the Code, shall be accompanied by
an opinion of a Bond Counsel to the effect that such disbursement will not
result in the interest on the Bonds becoming included in the gross income of the
holders thereof for federal income tax purposes.In case any contract

be invested or reinvested by the Trustee as provided in Section 8.02 of the
Indenture.  The Authority and the Company each hereby covenants that
it will restrict that investment and reinvestment and the use of the proceeds of
the Bonds in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, after
taking into account reasonable expectations at the time of delivery of and
payment for the Bonds, so that the Bonds will not constitute arbitrage bonds
under Section 148 of the Code.




Any
Authorized Representative of the Authority having responsibility for issuing the
Bonds is authorized and directed, alone or in conjunction with an Authorized
Representative of the Company and/or any other officer, partner, employee or
agent of or consultant to the Authority or the Company, to give an appropriate
certificate of the Authority pursuant to Section 148 of the Code, for inclusion

the reasonable expectations of the Authority regarding the amount and use of the
proceeds of the Bonds and the facts, estimates and circumstances on which those
expectations are based, all as of the Issue Date.  The Company shall
provide the Authority with, and the Authority’s certificate may be based on, a
certificate of the Authorized Representative of the Company or other appropriate
officer, partner, employee or agent of or consultant to the Company setting
forth the reasonable expectations of the Company on the Issue Date regarding the
amount and use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the facts, estimates and
circumstances on which they are based.

the extent that moneys shall have been paid by a Credit Facility Issuer to the
Trustee for such payment in respect of the Bonds, which amounts may be
reimbursed by the Company directly to such Credit Facility Issuer, and no Event
of Default shall occur hereunder by reason of any failure of the Company to make

Credit Facility.




Section

Payments.  To the extent that moneys on deposit in the
Remarketing Proceeds Account of the Purchase Fund established under the

Company shall promptly pay to the Trustee as Purchase Payments for deposit in

deliver to the Tender Agent the purchase price of Bonds payable pursuant to
Section 5.03 of the Indenture; provided, however, that the obligation of the

the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and upkeep of the Project Facilities;
provided that with respect to special assessments or other governmental charges
that lawfully may be paid in installments over a period of years, the Company
shall be obligated to pay only such installments as are required to be paid
during the term hereof; and provided further that the Company may, at its
expense, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments and other charges
and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or
other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest
and any appeal therefrom.  The Company shall also comply in all
material respects at its own cost and expense with all notices received from
public authorities with respect to the Project Facilities, subject to the
Company’s right to contest such notices in good faith.




Section

Company shall at its own cost and expense obtain or cause to be obtained
insurance policies against such risks, and in such amounts, as are customarily

Project Facilities, paying, as the same become due and payable, all premiums in
respect thereof; provided that the Company may self-insure in such amounts and
against such risks as the Company shall deem reasonable and
prudent.  All proceeds of such insurance shall be for the account of
the Company.




Section
4.8  Damage to or Condemnation of
Project Facilities.  In the event of damage, destruction or

be obligated to either:  (i) restore the Project Facilities or the
Plants, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to ensure the continued
character of the Project Facilities as solid waste disposal facilities, or (ii)
if permitted by the terms of the Bonds, direct the Authority to call the Bonds
for redemption as set forth in Section 9.01(a)(iv) of the
Indenture.  Damage to, destruction of or condemnation of all or a
portion of the Project Facilities shall not terminate this Agreement or cause
any abatement of or reduction in the payments to be made by the Company under
this Agreement.




Section
4.9  Misuse of Bond
Proceeds.  The Company shall give the Authority, the Trustee
and the Remarketing Agent prompt written notice of any Misuse of Bond
Proceeds.




Section
4.10  Indemnification.  The
Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Authority and each member,
director, officer, employee, attorney and agent of the Authority for and against
any and all claims, losses, damages or liabilities (including the costs and
expenses of defending against any such claims) to which the Authority or any
member, director, officer, employee or agent of the Authority may become
subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise directly or indirectly out of (a) any loss or damage to
property or injury to or death of or loss by any person that may be occasioned
by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the construction, maintenance, operation
and use of the Project Facilities; (b) any breach or default on the part of the
Company in the performance of any covenant or agreement of the Company under
this Agreement or the Note or any related document, or arising from any act or
failure to act by the Company or any of its agents, contractors, servants,
employees or licensees; (c) the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bonds,
or the provision of any information or certification furnished in connection
therewith concerning the Bonds, the Project Facilities or the Company
(including, without limitation, any information furnished by the Company for
inclusion in any certification made by the Authority or for inclusion in, or as
a basis for preparation of, the information statements furnished by the
Authority and any information or certification obtained from the Company) to
assure the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the
holders thereof for federal income tax purposes; (d) the Company’s failure to
comply with any requirements of this Agreement pertaining to compliance with the
Code to assure such exclusion of the interest or the provisions set forth in
Sections 4.11 and 4.12; (e) any failure by the Company to comply with the
provisions of the Act; and (f) any claim, action or proceeding brought with
respect to any matter set forth in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e)
above.




The
Company will indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers, agents
and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any
and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties and expenses,
including out-of-pocket expenses, incidental expenses, reasonable legal fees and
expenses, and the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any such
claim (“Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the
Indemnitees or any of them for following any instruction or other direction upon
which the Trustee is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
the Bonds, the Note or the Indenture.  In addition to and not in
limitation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company also agrees to
indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against
any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Trustee’s
performance under this Agreement, the Bonds or the Indenture or the
administration thereof, or in collecting under the Note, except in any case as a
result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the
Trustee.




In case
any action or proceeding is brought against the Authority or the Trustee in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the party seeking indemnity
promptly shall give notice of that action or proceeding brought against it to
the Company, and the Company upon receipt of that notice shall have the
obligation and the right to assume the defense of the action or proceeding;
provided that failure of a party to give that notice shall not relieve the
Company from any of its obligations under this Section unless (and then only to
the extent) that failure prejudices the defense of the action or proceeding by
the Company.  At its own expense, an indemnified party may employ
separate counsel and participate in the defense.  The Authority or the
Trustee, as the case may be, will cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s
expense, with respect to its assumption of the defense of any such action or
proceeding, and will take such reasonable actions as are requested of it by the
Company, at the Company’s expense, in connection therewith.  The
Company shall not be liable for any settlement made without its consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company shall not approve any
settlement involving the Trustee without the Trustee’s prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld.




The
indemnification set forth above is intended to and shall (i) include the
indemnification of all affected directors, officers, agents and employees of the
Authorityand the
Trustee, respectively, and (ii) be enforceable by the Authority and the Trustee,
respectively, to the full extent permitted by law.

and the Indenture, payment or defeasance of the Bonds and the removal or
resignation of the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture for any
reason.




Section 4.11  Tax Covenants of Company and
Authority.  The Company covenants and represents that it will
at all times do and perform all acts and things necessary or desirable and
within its reasonable control in order to assure that interest paid on the Bonds
shall not be includable in the gross income of any holder thereof for federal
income tax purposes, unless such holder is a “substantial user” of the Project
Facilities or a “related person” of such a user within the meaning of Section
147(a) of the Code.  The Company also covenants and represents that it
shall not take or omit to take, or permit to be taken on its behalf, any actions
which, if taken or omitted, would adversely affect the excludability from the
gross income of the holder of interest paid on the Bonds for federal income tax
purposes.  The Authority and the Company mutually covenant for the
benefit of the Bondholders that they will not use the proceeds of the Bonds, any
moneys derived, directly or indirectly, from the use or investment thereof or
any other moneys on deposit in any fund or account maintained in respect of the
Bonds (whether such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the
Bonds or from other sources) in a manner which would cause the Bonds to be
treated as “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the
Code.




Section
4.12  Further Tax Covenants of
Company.  The Company further represents and covenants as
follows:




(a) Action to Maintain
Tax-Exempt Status.  The Company will take such actions as shall
be necessary or desirable, from time to time and within its reasonable control,
to cause all of the representations and warranties in this Section to remain
true and correct during such periods as shall be necessary to maintain the
exclusion of interest paid on the Bonds from the gross income of the holders
thereof for federal income tax purposes (other than a holder who is a
“substantial user” of the Project Facilities or a “related person” as those
terms are used in Section 147(a) of the Code), pursuant to the requirements of
the Code.




(b) Operation as Solid Waste
Disposal Facilities.  As long as the Company (or its
subsidiary, lessee or transferee) is required to operate or cause to be operated
the Project Facilities under Section 4.2, the Company (or its subsidiary, lessee
or transferee) shall operate or cause to be operated the Project Facilities as
“solid waste disposal facilities” within the meaning of Section 142(a)(6) of the
Code.




(c) Ninety-five Percent Capital
Costs Test.  The Company will spend not less than 95% of the
net proceeds of the Bonds for capital costs of land or property of a character

constituting “solid waste disposal facilities” for purposes of Section 142(a)(6)
of the Code.




(d) Land Acquisition
Limitation.  The Company will not use, directly or indirectly,
25% or more of the net proceeds of the Bonds for the acquisition of land or an
interest therein.




(e) Existing Facility and
Rehabilitation Limitations.  The Company will not use any
proceeds of the Bonds to acquire any property of which the Company would not be
the first user, except as permitted by the next sentence.  If any
proceeds of the Bonds are used to acquire (i) an existing building, (ii) an
existing building and equipment thereof, (iii) an existing structure (other than
a building), or (iv) an existing structure and equipment thereof, then the
Company will, within two years of the later of the Issue Date or the date the
Company acquires such building or structure, incur Rehabilitation Expenditures
in an amount at least equal to (x) 15% of the portion of the cost of acquiring
all existing buildings and equipment thereof which is financed with net proceeds
of the Bonds, plus (y) 100% of the portion of the cost of acquiring all existing
structures (other than a building) and equipment thereof which is financed with
net proceeds of the Bonds.




(f) Limitation on Financing
Certain Facilities.  The Company will not use more than 25% of
the net proceeds of the Bonds to provide any portion of the Project Facilities
the primary purpose of which is to provide retail food or beverage services
(exclusive of grocery stores), automobile sales or services, or the provision of
recreation or entertainment.




(g) Prohibition on Financing
Certain Facilities.  The Company will not use any portion of
the proceeds of the Bonds to provide any portion of the Project Facilities to be
used for a private or commercial golf course, country club, massage parlor,
tennis club, skating facility (including roller skating, skateboard and ice
skating), racquet sports facility (including any handball or racquetball court),
hot tub facility, suntan facility or racetrack.  The Company will not
use any proceeds of the Bonds to provide any airplane, any sky box or other
private luxury box, any health club facility, any facility primarily used for
gambling, or any store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic
beverages for consumption off premises.




(h) Lease or Transfer of Project
Facilities.  In connection with any lease or transfer by the
Company of the Project Facilities financed with Bond proceeds, the Company will
require that the lessee or transferee and all Related Persons with respect to
such lessee or transferee will not violate the covenants set forth in this
Section 4.12.




(i) Bond Maturity
Limitation.  The average maturity of the Bonds, as determined
pursuant to Section 147(b) of the Code, will not exceed 120% of the average
reasonably expected economic life of the property financed with the proceeds of
the Bonds, disregarding land.




(j) Nonpurpose
Investments.  After the expiration of any applicable temporary
period under Section 148(c) of the Code, not more than the lesser of 5% of the
proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000 (in addition to the amounts allowed under
Sections 148(c) and (d) of the Code and subject to the yield adjustment
provisions of Treasury Regulations §1.148-5(c)) of the proceeds of the
Bonds will be invested in higher yielding investments.




At no
time will any funds constituting gross proceeds of the Bonds be used to acquire
investments at other than fair market value within the meaning of the applicable
Treasury Regulations pertaining to, or in any other fashion as would constitute
failure of compliance with, Section 148 of the Code.  Investments or
deposits in certificates of deposit or pursuant to guaranteed investment
contracts shall not be made without compliance, at or prior to such investment
or deposit, with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section
1.148-5(d)(6)(ii) and (iii), respectively, or with any successor provisions
thereto.




The terms
“proceeds”, “gross proceeds”, and “higher yielding investments” have the
meanings assigned to them for purposes of Section 148 of the Code.




(k) Notice.  The
Company shall provide a written statement signed by its Authorized
Representative to the Authority and the Trustee reasonably promptly upon the
Company’s becoming aware of a violation of any of the covenants set forth in
this Section 4.12, setting forth in detail the facts, nature and scope of such
violation.




(l) Arbitrage
Rebate.  As required by Section 2.8, the Company will pay to or
for the account of the Authority all amounts needed to comply with the
requirements of Section 148 of the Code, concerning arbitrage bonds, including
Section 148(f), which requires generally a rebate payment to the United States
of America of arbitrage profit from investment of the proceeds of the Bonds in
obligations other than tax-exempt obligations.  The obligation of the
Company to make such payments is unconditional and is not limited to funds
representing the proceeds of the Bonds or income from the investment thereof or
any other particular source.

applicable provisions of the Indenture and redeeming such Bonds at the

Note.





(b) The
Company covenants that, in case it shall fail to pay or cause to be paid any
Loan Payments or Purchase Payments as and when the same shall become due and
payable whether at maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, then, upon demand
of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee the whole amount that then
shall have become due and payable hereunder; and, in addition thereto, such
further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and
expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Authority or
the Trustee, including counsel fees and expenses.  In case the Company

claim or claims for the whole amount due hereunder, including interest owing and
unpaid in respect thereof, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee allowed in such judicial
proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property, and to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and
expenses.  Any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization is hereby authorized to make such payments to the Authority or
the Trustee, and to pay to the Authority or the Trustee any amount due it for
compensation and expenses, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up

opinion will or might cause it to expend money or otherwise incur liability
unless and until a satisfactory indemnity bond has been furnished to the Trustee
at no cost or expense to the Trustee.  Any amounts collected as Loan
Payments or applicable to Loan Payments and any other amounts which would be
applicable to payment of Debt Service collected pursuant to action taken under
this Section shall, after the deduction of the Trustee’s charges and expenses,

accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, shall be paid as provided in
Section 6.02(e) of the Indenture for transfers of remaining amounts in the Bond
Fund.




(e) The
provisions of this Section are subject to the further limitation that the
annulment by the Trustee of its declaration pursuant to Section 11.02 of the
Indenture that all of the Bonds are immediately due and payable also shall
constitute an annulment of any corresponding declaration made pursuant to
Subsection 6.2(a)(1); provided that no such waiver or rescission shall extend to
or affect any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon.




Section
6.3  Remedies Not
Exclusive.  No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the
Authority or the Trustee by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any
other available remedy or remedies, including without limitation the remedies
provided in the Act, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity.  No delay or omission to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair that right or
power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.  In order to entitle the Authority or the Trustee to
exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to
give any notice, other than any notice required by law or for which express
provision is made herein.




Section
6.4  Payment of Legal Fees and
Expenses.  If an Event of Default should occur and the
Authority, the Credit Facility Issuer (if any) or the Trustee should incur
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with
the enforcement of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Note or the collection of
sums due hereunder or thereunder, the Company shall reimburse the Authority, the
Credit Facility Issuer (if any) and the Trustee, as applicable, for the expenses
so incurred, upon demand.




Section
6.5  No
Waiver.  No failure by the Authority or the Trustee to insist
upon the strict performance by the Company of any provision hereof or of the
Note shall constitute a waiver of their right to strict performance and no
express waiver shall be deemed to apply to any other existing or subsequent
right to remedy the failure by the Company to observe or comply with any
provision hereof.  No failure by the Company to observe and perform
any of the covenants set forth in Section 4.2 hereof shall be waived by the
Trustee without the written consent of the Authority.




Section
6.6  Notice of
Default.  The Company shall immediately notify the Trustee and
the Authority in writing if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of
Default hereunder or of any fact, condition or event which, with the giving of

or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof or by reason of the

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
FACILITIES




The Project Facilities consist
generally of those portions of the Company’s wet limestone flue gas
desulfurization (or “FGD”) systems currently being installed at the Montour
Plant, the Brunner Island Plant and the Keystone Plant.  The Montour
Plant consists of two coal-fired electric generating units; each rated at 745
megawatt electric (“MW(e)”) gross and 755 MW(e) gross maximum continuous
load.  The Brunner Island Plant consists of three coal-fired electric
generating units; Unit 1 is rated at 363.3 MW(e); Unit 2 is rated at 405 MW(e);
and Unit 3 is rated at 790.4 MW(e).  The Keystone Plant consists of
two coal-fired electric generating units, with a total rating of approximately
1700 MW(e).  The Company is one of seven entities that own the
Keystone Plant.  Reliant Energy, another owner, operates the Keystone
Plant under contract with the owners.  Specifically, the Company will
(i) install one FGD unit at each of Units 1 and 2 at the Montour Plant, (ii)
install one FGD unit at Unit 3 and one FGD unit for Units 1 and 2 at the Brunner
Island Plant, and (iii) pay a portion of its allocable share of qualifying costs
of the FGD systems for the two units at the Keystone Plant.  The FGD
systems are designed to remove over 97% of the sulfur dioxide (SO2)in the
exhaust, or flue gas, created by the burning of coal at the Plants through a
series of processes that will involve, among other things, the injection of a
limestone and water mixture into the flue gas to ultimately form calcium
sulfate, or gypsum, as a byproduct.

EXEMPT
FACILITIES NOTE




(PENNSYLVANIA
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCING AUTHORITY)




SERIES
2008A









This Note
is issued pursuant to a Series 2008A Exempt Facilities Loan Agreement dated as
of December 1, 2008 (the “Agreement”) by and between the Pennsylvania Economic
Development Financing Authority (the “Authority”) and the Company (as
hereinafter defined) relating to the financing of certain facilities (the
“Project Facilities) at the (i) Montour Generating Station, Washingtonville,
Montour County, Pennsylvania; (ii) Brunner Island Generating Station, York
Haven, York County, Pennsylvania; and (iii) the Keystone Generating Station,
Plum Creek Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania (collectively, the
“Plants”).  Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning given to such term in the Agreement.




PPL
Energy Supply, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, for
value received, unconditionally promises to pay to The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (including its successors in such capacity, the
“Trustee”) under the Series 2008A Trust Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008
(as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”)
between the Trustee and the Authority, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS ($100,000,000) on December 1, 2038, and to pay (i) interest thereon from
the date hereof until the payment of such principal sum has been made or
provided for at a rate or rates at all times equal to the interest rate or rates
from time to time borne by the Authority’s Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds,
Series 2008A (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) (the “Bonds”) and payable on each
date that interest is payable on the Bonds, and (ii) to the extent provided by
law, on overdue interest at the rate or rates borne by the Bonds; provided,
however, that the obligation of the Company to make any payment hereunder (a)
shall be reduced by the amount of any reduction under the Indenture of the
amount of the corresponding payment required to be made by the Authority of the
principal of or premium or interest on the Bonds and (b) if a Credit Facility is
in effect with respect to the Bonds, shall be deemed to have been satisfied to
the extent that moneys shall have been paid by a Credit Facility Issuer to the
Trustee for such payment in respect of the Bonds.




If the
Bonds become subject to redemption as provided therein and in the Indenture, the
Company shall, as provided in the Agreement, on or before the proposed
redemption date for the Bonds, pay to the Trustee the whole or appropriate
portion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note with interest accrued to the
proposed redemption date, together with such premium as is necessary to pay the
corresponding premium, if any, on the Bonds.  Such amount shall be
paid by the Company to the Trustee on the date specified in a notice from the
Trustee.




If, for
any reason, the amounts specified above are not sufficient to make corresponding
payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all of the Bonds,
when such payments are due, the Company shall pay as additional amounts due
hereunder, the amounts required from time to time to make up any such
deficiency.  Whenever payment or provision for payment has been made
in respect of the principal or redemption price of, and interest on, all of the
Bonds in accordance with the Indenture, this Note shall be deemed paid in full
and shall be canceled and returned to the Company.




All
payments of principal, redemption price and interest shall be made to the
Trustee at its corporate trust office designated pursuant to the Indenture, in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts.  All payments shall be made in funds which will be available no
later than 10:00 a.m. on the applicable due date, and shall be in the full
amount required hereunder unless the Trustee notifies the Company that it is
entitled to a credit under the Agreement or the Indenture.




The
obligations of the Company to make the payments required hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional without defense or setoff by reason of any cause or
circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, any acts or circumstances
that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the
Project Facilities or the Plants, commercial frustration of purpose, or failure
of the Authority to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or
implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with
the Agreement, it being the intention of the Company and the Authority that the
payments hereunder will be paid in full when and as due without any delay or
diminution whatsoever.




In case
one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section 6.1 of the Agreement
shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in each and every such case, the
Trustee, by notice in writing to the Company, may declare the unpaid balance of
this Note to be due and payable immediately, if concurrently with or prior to
such notice the unpaid principal amount of the Bonds has been declared to be due
and payable, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable, anything in this Note or in the Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after any
declaration of acceleration hereunder there is an annulment of any declaration
of acceleration with respect to the Bonds, such annulment shall also
automatically constitute an annulment of any corresponding declaration under
this Note and a waiver and rescission of the consequences of such
declaration.




In case
the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce its rights under this Note or the
Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every
such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored to their respective
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
taken, subject to any such adverse determination.




In case
the Company shall fail forthwith to pay all amounts due hereunder and under the
Agreement upon such demand, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to
institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the collection of the
sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to
judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree
against the Company and collect, in the manner provided by law out of the
property of the Company, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable.




This Note
shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.




IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed and
delivered.
