Section 8.2 of the Contract) or any of its obligations thereunder on account of
any default, breach or other act or omission of the Company thereunder without
(i) in the case of a default by the Company that is the failure by the Company
to pay amounts to the Consenting Party that are due and payable under the
Contract, first providing to the Collateral Agent written notice of such
default, breach or other act or omission and the greater of (A) the cure period
specified in such Contract and (B) ninety (90) days from the date such notice is
received by the Collateral Agent to pay such amounts (provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consenting Party may suspend performance
under the Contract within thirty (30) days) and (ii) in the case of a default,
breach or other act or omission that cannot be cured by the payment of money to
the Consenting Party, first providing to the Collateral Agent written notice of
such default, breach or other act or omission and the greater of (A) the cure
period specified in such Contract and (B) one hundred eighty (180) days from the

default so long as the Collateral Agent or its designee shall have commenced to
cure such breach, default or other act or omission within ninety (90) days and
thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion or, with respect to any
default, breach or other act or omission that is not susceptible of being cured
by the Collateral Agent, to rectify, to the Consenting Party's reasonable
satisfaction, the effect on the Consenting Party thereof within one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date such notice is received by the Collateral Agent.
If possession of the Energy Complex (by way of foreclosure proceedings or
otherwise) is necessary to cure such breach, default or other act or omission,
the Collateral Agent or its successor, transferee or assignee will be allowed a
reasonable additional period to complete such proceedings or otherwise

                                                        -4-

<PAGE>



accomplish such possession, provided that in no event shall such additional
period exceed ninety (90) days and provided that the Collateral Agent or its
successor, transferee or assignee proceeds diligently throughout such additional
period to accomplish such possession.

                  If the Collateral Agent or its successor, transferee or
assignee is prohibited by any court order or bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings from curing the default, breach or other act or omission or from
commencing or prosecuting foreclosure proceedings, the foregoing time periods
shall be extended by the period of such prohibition. The Consenting Party
consents to the transfer of the Company's interest under the Contract to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties or a purchaser or
grantee at a foreclosure sale by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure and sale or
by a conveyance by the Company in lieu of foreclosure and agrees that, upon such
foreclosure, sale or conveyance, the Consenting Party shall recognize the
Collateral Agent or such other purchaser or grantee as the applicable party
under the Contract so transferred, provided that the Collateral Agent or such
purchaser or grantee assumes the obligations of the Company under such Contract.

                  The notice specified in this Section 3(b) shall be in writing
and shall be addressed to the Collateral Agent as set forth below or to such
other address as the Collateral Agent may have specified by written notice
delivered in accordance herewith. Such notice shall be effective (a) if by
telecopier, when transmitted to the telecopier number specified herein and
received at such number, (b) if by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, on the third business day after delivered to
a United States post office and a receipt therefor is issued thereby or (c) if
by any other means, when delivered to the specified address:

                  Telecopier No.:  212-250-6961

Failure of the Consenting Party to provide such notice to the Collateral Agent
shall not constitute a breach of this Consent to Assignment, and the Collateral
Agent agrees that the Consenting Party shall have no liability to the Collateral
Agent for such failure whatsoever; provided, however, that no cancellation,
suspension or termination (other than upon the stated expiration of the term of
the Contract) of the Contract by the Consenting Party, or of any of the
Consenting Party's obligations thereunder by the Consenting Party, shall be
binding upon the Collateral Agent without such notice and the expiration of the
applicable cure period set forth in this Section 3(b).

                  4. No Previous Assignment. Except for the Omnibus Transfer
above and for the assignment contemplated by this Consent to Assignment, the
Consenting Party represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that it has no
actual notice of any assignment of the Contract and that it has not previously
consented to any assignment, transfer or hypothecation of the Contract or any
interest therein by the Company, other than subcontracts entered into in the
ordinary course of business.

                  5. Payments to Revenue Account. The Consenting Party hereby
agrees that, until the Collateral Agent has given the Consenting Party written
notice that the obligations secured by the Contract have been paid, observed and
satisfied in full, all payments to be made by the Consenting Party pursuant to
the terms of the Contract shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent, c/o
Bankers Trust Company, for deposit into the Revenue Account established and
created under the Intercreditor Agreement (Account No. 15351), at Bankers Trust
Company, Four Albany Street, New York, New York 10006, or to such other person
or at such other address as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify
in writing to the Consenting Party. By executing this Consent to Assignment, the
Company hereby directs the Consenting Party to make all payments due to the
Company under the Contract directly to the Collateral Agent, c/o Bankers Trust
Company, or such other person as provided for above until the Consenting Party
has received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5.

                  6.  Protection of Collateral Agent.  In the event that
(a) either (i) the Company's interest in the Energy Complex shall
be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred pursuant to the
exercise of any right, power or remedy by the Collateral Agent or
pursuant to judicial proceedings or (ii) the Company rejects the
Contract under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or other similar
Federal or state statute, and such rejection is approved by the
appropriate bankruptcy court or is otherwise effective pursuant
to such statute and (b) in either case (i) all funds payable
under the Contract shall be paid to the Consenting Party, (ii)

breach by the Company under the Contract that is susceptible of
being corrected by the Collateral Agent or by a purchaser at any
judicial or non-judicial sale, (iii) the Contract shall have been
terminated pursuant to the terms thereof by reason of a default
or a rejection in bankruptcy under the Federal Bankruptcy Code,
or other similar Federal or state statute, and (iv) the effect
upon the Consenting Party of any default not susceptible of being
corrected shall have been rectified, to the Consenting Party's
reasonable satisfaction, then the Consenting Party shall, within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of written request therefor,
execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent or its nominee,
purchaser, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) an
agreement containing the same terms (including with respect to
termination by the Consenting Party) as the Contract so
terminated for the remainder of the term thereof.  References in

this Consent to Assignment to "Contract" shall be deemed also to refer to such
new agreements.

                  7. Acknowledgment of the Collateral Agent's Obligations and
Rights. None of the Collateral Agent, the Senior Secured Parties or the IDB has
any obligation hereunder to extend credit to the Consenting Party or any
contractor of the Consenting Party at any time for any purpose. None of the
Collateral Agent, the Senior Secured Parties or the IDB shall have any
obligation to the Consenting Party under the Contract unless and until such time
as it succeeds to the interests of the Company under such Contract. It is
expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Consent has been
executed by Bankers Trust (Delaware), not in its individual capacity, but solely
as Collateral Agent hereunder in the exercise of the power and authority
conferred and vested in it, and nothing contained herein shall be construed as
creating any liability on Bankers Trust (Delaware), individually or personally,
to perform any covenant, either expressed or implied, contained herein, all such
liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto.


                  8.  Exercise of Remedies by the Collateral Agent.  Upon
delivery of written notice by the Collateral Agent to the
Consenting Party that the Collateral Agent or any of its
designees or assignees (as the case may be) expressly elects to
assume the obligations of the Company under the Contract, the
Collateral Agent or any of its designees or assignees shall have
the full right and power to enforce directly against the
Consenting Party all obligations of the Consenting Party under
such Contract and otherwise to exercise all remedies thereunder
and to make all demands and give all notices and make all
requests required or permitted to be made by the Company under
such Contract.

                  9. The Company Not to Cause Breach. The Company hereby
irrevocably waives any rights that it may have, including those arising under
the Contract, to seek to compel the Consenting Party to act in a manner
inconsistent with this Consent to Assignment while this Consent to Assignment is
in effect.

                  10. Subordination of Certain Claims; Indemnification. (a)
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Contract to the contrary, the
Consenting Party hereby agrees that any claims of the Consenting Party for
indemnification, reimbursement or otherwise (whether or not based on the
Contract), insofar as such claims arise out of, are based upon or relate to (i)
the Notice of Charge of Discrimination (Charge No. 130952216) of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission heretofore delivered to the Consenting Party
or (ii) any other losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) of any Person, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon or

                                                        -7-

similar to that alleged by or in the Notice of Charge of Discrimination referred
to above, in each case, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (each of such
losses, claims, damages and liabilities specified in clauses (i) and (ii), a
"Specified Claim"), shall constitute or shall be deemed to constitute
Subordinated Fees under the Financing Documents.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Contract to the
contrary, the Consenting Party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Mobile Energy Parties, the Senior Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of, are based upon or relate to any Specified Claim.

                  11.  Representations.  The Consenting Party represents
and warrants to the Company and the Collateral Agent as follows:
