SECTION 3.  FACILITY LEASE TERM AND RENT



                                        2

<PAGE>

         SECTION 3.1. BASIC LEASE TERM. The basic lease term of this Facility
Lease (the "BASIC LEASE TERM") shall commence on the Closing Date and shall end
on September 14, 2033, subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 10,
13, 14 or 17 hereof.

         SECTION 3.2. RENT. The Facility Lessee hereby agrees to pay to the
Owner Lessor pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof, basic rent for the lease of the
Undivided Interest during the Basic Lease Term ("BASIC LEASE RENT") in
installments in the amounts shown on Annex I to Schedule 1-1 hereto (as adjusted
in accordance with such Schedule 1-1) on each Rent Payment Date and in amounts
calculated in accordance with Schedule 1-1 hereto on each other date referred to
in Part B of Schedule 1-1 hereto (each such other date, an "ADDITIONAL RENT
PAYMENT DATE"). Basic Lease Rent is allocable in arrears over the Basic Lease
Term as set forth in Schedule 1-2 hereto. The Facility Lessee shall notify the
Facility Lessor and the Holder Representative in writing on or before the date
two Business Days prior to each Rent Payment Date and each Additional Rent
Payment Date of the amount of the installment of Basic Lease Rent to be paid on
such Rent Payment Date or such Additional Rent Payment Date as computed as of
such date. Basic Lease Rent may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with
Section 3.4 hereof.

         SECTION 3.3. SUPPLEMENTAL LEASE RENT. The Facility Lessee also agrees
to pay to the Owner Lessor, or to any other Person entitled thereto as expressly
provided herein or in any other Operative Document, as appropriate, any and all
Supplemental Lease Rent, promptly as the same shall become due and owing, or
where no due date is specified, promptly after demand by the Person entitled
thereto, and in the event of any failure on the part of the Facility Lessee to
pay any Supple mental Lease Rent, the Owner Lessor shall have all rights, powers
and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise for the
failure to pay Basic Lease Rent. The Facility Lessee will also pay as
Supplemental Lease Rent, to the extent permitted by Requirement of Law, an
amount equal to interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any part of any
payment of Basic Lease Rent not paid when due for any period for which the same
shall be overdue and on any Supplemental Lease Rent not paid when due (whether
on demand or otherwise) for the period from such due date until the same shall
be paid. All Supplemental Lease Rent to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.3
shall be payable in the manner set forth in Section 3.5.

         SECTION 3.4. ADJUSTMENT OF BASIC LEASE RENT AND TERMINATION VALUE. (a)
The Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor agree that Basic Lease Rent,
Termination Values, the Equity Portion of Basic Lease Rent and the Equity
Portion of Termination Value may be adjusted, either upwards or downwards, at
the request of the Facility Lessee, Midwest, the Owner Lessor or the Owner
Participant in the following situations: to reflect (A) the principal amount,
amortization and interest rate on any New Lessor Notes issued pursuant to
Section 2.03 of the Lessor Loan Agreement in connection with a refinancing or
refunding of the Lessor Notes pursuant to


                                        3

<PAGE>

Section 16.2 of the Participation Agreement, (B) the principal amount,
amortization and interest rate on any Additional Lessor Notes issued pursuant to
Section 2.03 of the Lessor Loan Agreement in connection with the financing of
Improvements to the Facility pursuant to Section 8 herein and (C) the principal
amount of the Lessor Notes outstanding following, and to the extent that, a draw
is made under each of the RCE Letter of Credit and the Midwest Letter of Credit
(or otherwise) and the allocation of such proceeds results in a discharge the
Lessor Notes as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 2.06 of the Lessor
Loan Agreement.

         Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be calculated, FIRST
so as not to negatively impact the Owner Participant's Expected Return through
the end of the Basic Lease Term and, SECOND at the option of the Facility Lessee
(x) to minimize, to the extent possible, the average annual Basic Lease Rent
over the Basic Lease Term for GAAP accounting purposes of the Facility Lessee or
the Facility Sublessee, as may be applicable, and/or (y) to minimize, to the
extent possible, the present value to the Facility Lessee of the Basic Lease
Rent; PROVIDED, that no adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall result in
a book loss to the Owner Participant in the year such adjustment is made.
Adjustments shall be computed by the Owner Participant, or, if prior to the
Closing Date the Equity Investor, using the same method of computation,
assumptions and pricing constraints originally used (other than those that have
changed as the result of the event giving rise to the adjustment) in the
calculation of Basic Lease Rent and Termination Values set forth in Schedule 1-1
and Schedule 2 hereto and shall be subject to the verification procedure
described in Section 3.4(c). Adjustments to Basic Lease Rent contemplated by
this Section 3.4 shall result in corresponding adjustments to Termination
Values. All Basic Lease Rent adjustments shall comply with Revenue Procedures
75-21 and 75-28 and Section 467 of the Code and any proposed, temporary, or
final regulations thereunder, in each case as modified and in effect on the date
of such adjustment and shall be calculated in such a manner so that, if the
Facility Lease were determined to be a "disqualified leaseback or long-term
agreement" within the meaning of Section 467 of the Code, the result would be an
increase in the Owner Participant's Expected Return (when contrasted with the
Owner Participant's Expected Return computed on the assumption that the
Facility Lease is not a "disqualified leaseback or long-term agreement").

                  (b) Anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the
contrary notwithstanding, each installment of Basic Lease Rent (excluding any
Equity Portion of Basic Lease Rent included in such installment) payable
hereunder, whether or not adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.4, shall be
in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full principal and interest payable
on the Lessor Notes on each Rent Payment Date. Anything herein or in any other
Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Termination Values
(excluding the Equity Portion of Termination Value) payable on any date under
this Facility Lease, whether or not adjusted in accordance with this Section
3.4, shall, together with all other Rent due


                                        4
<PAGE>

and owing on such date, exclusive of any portion thereof that is an Excepted Pay
ment, be in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Lessor Notes payable on such date.

                  (c) Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall
initially be computed by the Owner Participant or, if prior to the Closing Date,
by the Equity Investor, subject to the verification procedure described in this
Section 3.4(c). Once computed, the results of such computation shall promptly be
delivered by the Owner Participant or, if prior to the Closing Date, the Equity
Investor to the Facility Lessee. Within 20 days after the receipt of the results
of any such adjustment, the Facility Lessee may request that Warren & Selbert,
Inc. or a nationally recognized firm of accountants or lease advisors selected
by the Owner Participant, or if prior to the Closing Date, the Equity Investor,
and reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Lessee (the "VERIFIER") verify, on a
confidential basis, after consultation with the Owner Participant or the Equity
Investor, as the case may be, and the Facility Lessee, the accuracy of such
adjustment in accordance with this Section 3.4. The Owner Participant or the
Equity Investor, as the case may be, hereby agrees, subject to the execution of
an appropriate confidentiality agreement, to provide the Verifier with all
necessary information and materials (other than the Owner Participant's income
tax returns and accounting records) as shall be necessary in connection with
such verification. Each of the Owner Participant or the Equity Investor, as the
case may be, and the Facility Lessee shall have the right to communicate with
the Verifier and to submit supporting information and data. If the Verifier
confirms that such adjustment is in accordance with this Section 3.4, it shall
so certify to the Facility Lessee, the Owner Lessor and the Owner Participant or
the Equity Investor, as the case may be, and such certification shall be final,
binding and conclusive on the Facility Lessee, the Owner Participant or the
Equity Investor, as the case may be, and the Owner Lessor. If the Verifier
concludes that such adjustment is not in accordance with this Section 3.4, and
the adjustments to Basic Lease Rent and Termination Value calculated by the
Verifier are different from those calculated by the Owner Participant or the
Equity Investor, as the case may be, then it shall so certify to the Facility
Lessee, the Owner Lessor and the Owner Participant or the Equity Investor, as
the case may be, and the Verifier's calculation shall be final, binding and
conclusive on the Facility Lessee, the Owner Lessor and the Owner Participant or
the Equity Investor, as the case may be. The final determination of any
adjustment hereunder shall be set forth in an amendment to this Facility Lease,
executed and delivered by the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee and consented
to by the Owner Participant or the Equity Investor, as the case may be. The
reasonable costs of the Verifier in verifying an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 3.4 shall be paid by the Facility Lessee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the
event that such Verifier determines that the present value of the remaining
Basic Lease Rent to be made under this Facility Lease as calculated by the Owner
Participant or the Equity Investor, as the case may be, is greater than the
present value of the correct Basic Lease Rent as certified by the Verifier, in
each case, discounted annually at the Discount Rate, by


                                        5

<PAGE>

more than ten basis points, then such reasonable costs of the Verifier shall be
paid by the Owner Participant or the Equity Investor, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the sole responsibility of the
Verifier shall be to verify the calculations hereunder and matters of
interpretation of this Facility Lease or any other Operative Document shall not
be within the scope of the Verifier's responsibilities.

         SECTION 3.5. MANNER OF PAYMENTS. All Rent (whether Basic Lease Rent or
Supplemental Lease Rent) and all Termination Value payments shall be paid by the
Facility Lessee in lawful currency of the United States of America in
immediately available funds to the recipient not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the date due. All Rent (including Contingent Prepaid Rent) and all
Termination Value payments payable to the Owner Lessor (other than Excepted
Payments) shall be paid by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Lessor at its
account at Wilmington Trust Company (Account No. 50356-0), or to such other
place as the Owner Lessor shall notify the Facility Lessee in writing; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding and the Lien created
under the Lessor Security Documents has not been discharged, the Owner Lessor
hereby irrevocably directs (it being agreed and understood that such direction
shall be deemed to have been revoked after the Lien created under the Lessor
Security Documents shall have been fully discharged in accordance with its
terms), and the Facility Lessee agrees, that all payments of Rent (other than
Excepted Payments) and all Termination Value payments payable to the Owner
Lessor shall be paid by "wire" transfer directly to the Holder Representative's
Account or to such other place as the Holder Representative shall notify the
Facility Lessee in writing pursuant to the Participation Agreement, provided,
that for as long as the Initial Lessor Notes are outstanding, all Rent payments
(other than Excepted Payments) shall be deposited into the Rent Payment Account
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Rent Payment Date or Additional
Rent Payment Date, as the case may be, and such deposit shall remain the
property of the Facility Lessee until transferred into the Holder
Representative's Account pursuant to the following sentence. On each Rent
Payment Date or Additional Rent Payment Date, as the case may be, Rent shall be
paid by transferring the funds on deposit in the Rent Payment Account in the
amount equal to the Rent payment (in the amount notified by the Facility Lessee
to the Owner Lessor and the Holder Representative) into the Holder
Representative's Account. Payments constituting Excepted Payments shall be made
to the Person entitled thereto at the address for such Person set forth in the
Participation Agreement, or to such other place as such Person shall notify the
Facility Lessee in writing.

and the Owner Participant on


                                        7

<PAGE>

the one hand and the Facility Lessee on the other hand are to be borne by the
Facility Lessee with respect to acts, occurrences or omissions during the
Facility Lease Term. Neither of the Owner Lessor nor the Owner Participant shall
have any responsibility or liability to the Facility Lessee or any other Person
with respect to any of the following: (x) any liability, loss or damage caused
or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by the Facility or any Component
or by any inadequacy thereof or deficiency or defect therein or by any other
circumstances in connection therewith; (y) the use, operation or performance of
the Facility or any Component or any risks relating thereto; or (z) the
delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance, repair, improvement, replacement or
decommissioning of the Facility or any Component. The provisions of this
paragraph (a) of this Section 4.1 have been negotiated, and, except to the
extent otherwise expressly stated, the foregoing provisions are intended to be a
complete exclusion and negation of any representations or warranties of the
Owner Lessor, express or implied, with respect to the Facility, any Component
thereof or the Undivided Interest that may arise pursuant to any Requirement of
Law now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise.

                  (b) During the Facility Lease Term, so long as no Lease Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Lessor hereby
appoints irrevocably and constitutes the Facility Lessee its agent and
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to assert and enforce, from time to
time, in the name and for the account of the Owner Lessor and the Facility
Lessee, as their interests may appear, but in all cases at the sole cost and
expense of the Facility Lessee, whatever claims and rights the Owner Lessor may
have in respect of the Facility, any Component or the Undivided Interest
against any manufacturer, vendor or contractor, or under any express or implied
warranties relating to the Facility, any Component or the Undivided Interest.

         SECTION 4.2. QUIET ENJOYMENT. The Owner Lessor agrees that,
notwithstanding any provision of any other Operative Document, so long as no
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither it nor any
party acting by, through or under the Owner Lessor shall interfere with or
interrupt the quiet enjoyment of the use, operation and possession by the
Facility Lessee of the interest in the Facility or the Undivided Interest
conveyed by this Facility Lease subject to the terms of this Facility Lease.

SECTION 5.  RETURN OF UNDIVIDED INTEREST

         SECTION 5.1. RETURN. Unless the Undivided Interest is being transferred
to the Facility Lessee (or its designee) pursuant to Section 10 or 13 of this
Facility Lease, the Facility Lessee shall return the Undivided Interest
(together with all Required Improvements and Non-Severable Improvements, if any,
title to which shall vest in the Owner Lessor) to the Owner Lessor or any
permitted transferee or assignee of the Owner Lessor at the expiration of the
Facility Lease Term (or earlier


                                        8

<PAGE>

than such date if required pursuant to the provisions of this Facility Lease) by
surrendering the Undivided Interest into the possession of the Owner Lessor or
such transferee or assignee at the location of the Facility on the Facility
Land.

         SECTION 5.2. CONDITION UPON RETURN. At the time of any return of the
Undivided Interest by the Facility Lessee pursuant to Section 5.1, the Facility
Lessee agrees that:

                  (a) the Facility Lease, the Facility Site Sublease and the
Facility Site Sub-Sublease shall cease and terminate;

                  (b) the Facility will be in at least as good condition as if
it had been maintained during the Facility Lease Term in compliance with the
provisions of this Facility Lease (including, without limitation the provisions
of Section 7) ordinary wear and tear excepted as determined in accordance with
the Return Acceptance Tests;

                  (c) the Facility Lessee shall assign an undivided interest
equal to the Owner Lessor's Percentage in any and all licenses and permits of
any Governmental Entities or other Persons that are required to be obtained in
connection with the use, operation or maintenance of the Undivided Interest that
are not already in the name of the Owner Lessor to the Owner Lessor or a
transferee or designee of the Owner Lessor, to the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law and the provisions of such license or permit;

                  (d) the Facility Lessee, at the request of the Owner Lessor,
shall sell to the Owner Lessor or its designee or transferee at the then fair
market value thereof, determined by agreement between the Facility Lessee and
the Owner Lessor or, absent such agreement, by an appraisal conducted according
to the Appraisal Procedure, an undivided interest equal to the Owner Lessor's
Percentage in any or each Severable Improvement made to the Facility that is
owned by the Facility Lessee, subject to any existing encumbrances. The fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the appraisal required by this subsection
(d) shall be paid by the Owner Lessor;

                  (e) the Facility Lessee, or an Affiliate thereof, shall enter
into an agreement or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Owner
Lessor (the "SUPPORT ARRANGEMENTS") to provide the Facility Lessor with the
Support Services; PROVIDED, that the Facility Lessee shall be bound to provide
Support Services only to the extent the Facility Lessee is capable of, and is
still in the business of, providing such Support Services, and only to the
extent that such services are necessary for the operation of the Facility and
cannot reasonably and timely be obtained from third parties. Support
Arrangements shall provide for the provision of all Support Services during and
after expiration of the Facility Lease, and will provide for fair


                                        9
<PAGE>

market value compensation to the Facility Lessee, or an Affiliate thereof for
such Support Services, payable periodically in advance on no less than a monthly
basis, for such rights and other services provided under such arrangements and
shall terminate upon expiration or early termination of the Facility Site Lease
or at the Facility Lessor's option; and

                  (f) the Facility Lessee shall arrange, at its sole cost and
expense, for a Phase I Environmental Survey of the Facility and the Facility
Land, which shall be in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Owner Participant, not later than 180 days prior to a return of the Undivided
Interest pursuant to Section 5.1 or, in connection with a return other than
pursuant to Section 5.1, not later than the date of return; PROVIDED that, if as
a result of the Phase I Environmental Survey, facts are revealed that would
reasonably necessitate a Phase II Environmental Survey, such Phase I
Environmental Survey shall be expanded to a Phase II Environmental Survey, which
shall be in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Participant. Each such survey shall be conducted, with appropriate diligence and
good faith, by an environmental consulting firm selected by the Facility Lessee
and reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant. Any reports prepared by such
consulting firm documenting the surveys shall be provided promptly upon receipt
by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Participant. If, as a result of the
environmental surveys conducted pursuant to this Section 5.2(f), further
investigation, or abatement, corrective action, removal, monitoring, clean-up,
remediation or other response actions relating to Environmental Conditions at,
on, under or migrating from the Facility or the Facility Land are required to
ensure that the Facility and the Facility Land comply in all material respects
with all applicable Environmental Laws, the Facility Lessee shall, at its sole
cost and expense, as promptly as is reasonably practical and without materially
affecting the continued operation of the Facility or the Facility Site, make
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant for conducting and
completing any such clean-up, remediation or other response action in relation
to the Environmental Conditions identified in such environmental surveys as
required to ensure that the Facility and the Facility Land comply with all
applicable Environmental Laws. Nothing in this Section 5.2(f) shall relieve the
Facility Lessee of its indemnification obligations under the Participation
Agreement. The obligations of the Facility Lessee set forth in this Section
5.2(f) shall survive the termination of this Facility Lease and the expiration
of the Facility Lease Term.

         SECTION 5.3. EXPENSES. Except as provided in Section 5.2(d), the
Facility Lessee agrees to pay or reimburse or to cause to be paid or reimbursed,
on an After-Tax Basis, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with any return contemplated by this Section 5.

         SECTION 5.4. FREIGHT AND CRATE. At the expiration of the Facility Site
Lease, the Owner Lessor shall have the right to require the Facility Lessee (i)
at the Facility Lessee's sole risk and expense, to dismantle the Facility, to
remove the dismantled



                                       10

<PAGE>

components of the Facility from the Facility Land and to cause such components
to be delivered to a railhead or other suitable common carrier or (ii) at the
Owner Lessor's risk and expense, to dismantle the Facility and keep and store
such components at the Facility Land for a period not to exceed 180 days;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Facility Lessee shall not be so required if it has chosen
to purchase the Facility from the Owner Lessor at a price equal to the greater
of (a) $1.00 and (b) the Fair Market Sales Value thereof (MINUS the estimated
costs of such decommissioning, dismantling, removal and shipment and the
estimated cost of restoring the Facility Land to its original condition). The
Facility Lessee's obligation to dismantle the Facility under this Section 5.4
shall survive the termination of the Facility Lease.

SECTION 6.  LIENS

         The Facility Lessee hereby covenants that it will not directly or
indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien or other
encumbrance on or with respect to the Undivided Interest, the Facility, the
Facility Site or any Component, or on the Owner Lessor's or the Owner
Participant's interest in or under any Operative Document, except Permitted
Liens.

SECTION 7.  MAINTENANCE; REPLACEMENTS OF COMPONENTS

         SECTION 7.1. MAINTENANCE. The Facility Lessee, at its own expense, will
(i) cause the Facility to be maintained in as good condition, repair and working
order as when delivered on the Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
without discrimination as compared to other facilities of similar type owned or
operated by the Facility Lessee or any of its Affiliates, and in any event, in
all material respects (a) in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice, (b) in
compliance with all Requirements of Law, including without limitation, all
Environmental Laws and (c) in accordance with the terms of all insurance
policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 11 and (ii) cause to be
made all repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements to the
Facility, all as in the reasonable judgment of the Facility Lessee may be
necessary to operate the Facility in accordance with the Operative Documents.

         SECTION 7.2. REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS. In the ordinary course of
maintenance, service, repair or testing the Facility or any Component, the
Facility Lessee, at no cost to the Owner Lessor, may remove or cause to be
removed from the Facility any Component; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Facility
Lessee shall cause such Component to be replaced by a replacement Component
which shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and shall be
in as good operating condition as that of the Component replaced, assuming such
replaced Component was maintained in accordance with the terms of this Facility
Lease, and does not diminish, other than in an immaterial respect, the current
and residual value, remaining useful life or utility of the Facility as measured
immediately prior to such replacement, assuming


                                       11

<PAGE>

the Facility shall then be in the condition required to have been maintained by
the terms of this Facility Lease, or cause the Facility to become "limited use"
property within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 75-28, 1975-1 C.B. 752 or Rev. Proc.
76-30, 1976- 2 C.B. 647 (each such replacement Component being herein referred
to as a "REPLACEMENT COMPONENT"). An undivided interest equal to the Owner
Lessor's Percentage in each Component at any time removed from the Facility
shall remain subject to this Facility Lease, wherever located, until such time
as such Component shall be replaced by a Replacement Component which has been
incorporated in the Facility and which meets the requirements for Replacement
Components specified above. Immediately upon any Replacement Component becoming
incorporated in the Facility, without further act (and with no adjustment to the
Purchase Price or Basic Lease Rent), (i) the replaced Component shall no longer
be subject to this Facility Lease, (ii) title to the Owner Lessor's undivided
interest in the removed Component shall thereupon vest in the Facility Lessee or
such other Person as shall be designated by the Facility Lessee, free and clear
of all rights of the Owner Lessor and the Holder Representative, (iii) title to
an undivided interest equal to the Owner Lessor's Percentage in the Replacement
Component shall thereupon vest with the Owner Lessor and such undivided interest
shall (a) become subject to this Facility Lease and the Lien of the Security
Documents, and (b) be deemed a part of the Undivided Interest for all purposes
of this Facility Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2 to the
contrary, if the Facility Lessee has determined that any part, Component or
portion of the Facility is surplus or obsolete, it shall have the right to
remove such part, Component or portion of the Facility without replacing it if
such removal would not, other than in an immaterial respect, diminish the
current or residual value, the utility or the remaining useful life of the
Facility, as measured immediately prior to such replacement, assuming the
Facility shall then be in the condition required to have been maintained by the
terms of this Facility Lease or cause the Facility to become "limited use"
property within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 75-28, 1975-1 C.B. 752 or Rev. Proc.
76-30, 1976-2 C.B. 647.

         SECTION 7.3. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. The Facility Lessee will

                           (i) comply in all material respects and make all
         reasonable efforts to cause all other Persons to comply in all material
         respects with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Facility or the
         Facility Site, and the Facility Lessee shall have the sole
         responsibility for any and all costs and expenses associated with such
         compliance;

                           (ii) obtain, comply in all material respects with and
         maintain all necessary Governmental Approvals required under any
         applicable Environmental Law in connection with the use, operation and
         maintenance of the Facility and the Facility Site;



                                       12

<PAGE>

                           (iii) conduct and complete, at its sole cost and
         expense, any investigation, study, sampling, monitoring and testing and
         undertake any cleanup, removal, remedial, corrective, mitigation,
         response or other action necessary or advisable to abate, correct,
         remove and clean up or remediate all Hazardous Materials Released at,
         on, in, under or from the Facility or the Facility Site, to the extent
         required by and in material compliance with applicable Environmental
         Laws; and

                           (iv) as soon as possible and in any event within
         fifteen Business Days of Midwest obtaining knowledge thereof, provide
         the Owner Lessor with written notice of, and copies of all written
         communications relating to, any pending or threatened material
         Environmental Claim involving the Facility or the Facility Site. To
         the extent possible, all such notices shall describe in reasonable
         detail the nature of the Environmental Claim.

SECTION 8.  IMPROVEMENTS

         SECTION 8.1. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS. The Facility Lessee, without
expense to the Owner Lessor and without the consent of any other Lease Financing
Party, shall make or cause to be made any Improvements to the Facility as it
relates to the Undivided Interest as are required (w) by Requirements of Law or
any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction thereon, (x) by any insurance
policies required to be maintained by the Facility Lessee under any Operative
Document, (y) by the Operative Documents or (z) to meet Return Acceptance Tests
as set forth in Section 5.1 (each, a "REQUIRED IMPROVEMENT"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Facility Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings,
diligently contest the validity or application of any Requirement of Law in any
reasonable manner which does not involve any risk of (i) foreclosure, sale,
forfeiture or loss of, or imposition of a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on
any part of the Facility or impair the use, operation or maintenance of the
Facility in any material respect, or (ii) any criminal liability being incurred
by, or any material adverse effect on the interests of, the Owner Participant,
the Owner Lessor, the Lender, the Holders, the Holder Representative, any
Funding LLC Financing Party, the Facility Lessee or the Facility Sublessee,
including, without limitation, subjecting any such Person (except the Facility
Sublessee) to regulation as a public utility (or similar regulation) under
Requirement of Law; PROVIDED FURTHER, that no such contest may extend beyond the
expiration or earlier termination of this Facility Lease.

         SECTION 8.2. OPTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. The Facility Lessee at any time
may, without expense to the Owner Lessor and without the consent of any other
Lease Financing Party, make or cause to be made any Improvement to the Facility
as the Facility Lessee considers necessary or desirable in the proper conduct of
its business (any such non-Required Improvement being referred to as an
"OPTIONAL IMPROVEMENT"); PROVIDED that no Optional Improvement to the Facility
shall, other than in an


                                       13

<PAGE>

immaterial respect, diminish the current or residual value, remaining useful
life or utility of the Facility below the current or residual value, remaining
useful life or utility thereof immediately prior to such Optional Improvement,
assuming the Facility shall then be in the condition required to have been
maintained by the terms of this Facility Lease, or cause the Undivided Interest
to become "limited use" property, within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 75-28, 1975-1
C.B. 752 or Rev. Proc. 76-30, 1976-2 C.B. 647.

         SECTION 8.3. TITLE TO IMPROVEMENTS. Title to an undivided interest
equal to the Owner Lessor's Percentage in (i) all Required Improvements and (ii)
all Non-Severable Improvements shall automatically vest in the Owner Lessor
upon being affixed to or incorporated into the Facility, and such undivided
interest shall immediately (a) become subject to this Facility Lease, and (b)
be deemed part of the Undivided Interest for all purposes of this Facility
Lease. No interest in any Optional Improvement which is a Severable Improvement
(other than Severable Improvements which are financed by the Owner Lessor by an
Additional Equity Investment or a Supplemental Financing pursuant to Section
16.1 of the Participation Agreement) shall vest in the Owner Lessor or become
subject to this Facility Lease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Facility Lessee
shall, at its cost and expense, cause such Optional Improvements which are
Severable Improvements to be made to the Facility, the Owner Lessor shall have
the right, prior to the return of the Undivided Interest to the Owner Lessor
hereunder, to purchase an undivided interest equal to the Owner Lessor's
Percentage in any such Optional Improvements which are Severable Improvements.
The purchase price for such undivided interest shall be the then Fair Market
Sales Value of such undivided interest. If the Owner Lessor does not elect to
purchase such Optional Improvements which are Severable Improvements, the
Facility Lessee may, and at the request of the Owner Lessor shall, remove such
Improvements at the end of the Facility Lease Term.

         SECTION 8.4. FINANCING OF IMPROVEMENTS. The Facility Lessee shall,
subject to limitations on the incurrence of Indebtedness contained in other
Operative Documents, at all times have the right to finance Improvements other
than through the Facility Lease, so long as no Liens on the Facility, the
Facility Site or any portion thereof are granted or created in connection with
such financing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that, in the case of a financing of a
Severable Improvement which is not a Required Improvement, a Lien on such
Severable, non-Required Improvement may be granted or created in connection with
such financing. The Facility Lessee may elect to finance Improvements to the
Facility through the Facility Lease in accordance with Section 16.1 of the
Participation Agreement.

SECTION 9.  NET LEASE

         This Facility Lease is a "net lease". The Facility Lessee's obligation
to make all payments payable hereunder (and all amounts, including, without
limitation,


                                       14
<PAGE>

Termination Value, following termination of this Facility Lease) shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be
terminated, extinguished, diminished, lost or otherwise impaired by any
circumstance of any character, including, without limitation, by (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Facility Lessee may
have against the Owner Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Holder Representative
or any other Person, including, without limitation, any claim as a result of any
breach by any of said parties of any covenant or provision in this Facility
Lease or any other Operative Document, (ii) any lack or invalidity of title or
any defect in the title, condition, design, operation, merchantability or
fitness for use of the Facility or any Component, or any eviction by paramount
title or otherwise, or any unavailability of the Facility, the Facility Site,
any Component, any other portion of the Undivided Interest, or any part thereof,
(iii) any loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Facility or any Component or
interruption or cessation in the use or possession thereof or any part thereof
by the Facility Lessee for any reason whatsoever and of whatever duration, (iv)
the condemnation, requisitioning, expropriation, seizure or other taking of
title to or use of the Facility, the Facility Site, any Component, or any other
portion of the Undivided Interest by any Governmental Entity or otherwise, (v)
the invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization or other
infirmity of this Facility Lease or any other Operative Document, (vi) the lack
of right, power or authority of the Owner Lessor to enter into this Facility
Lease or any other Operative Document, (vii) any ineligibility of the Facility
or any Component for any particular use, whether or not due to any failure of
the Facility Lessee to comply with any Requirement of Law, (viii) any event of
"force majeure" or any frustration, (ix) any legal requirement similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary
notwithstanding, (x) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding by or against the Facility Lessee or any other Person, (xi) any Lien
of any Person with respect to the Facility, the Facility Site, any Component,
any other portion of the Undivided Interest or any part thereof, or (xii) any
other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or
future law notwithstanding, except as expressly set forth herein or in any other
Operative Document, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all Basic
Lease Rent (and all amounts, including, without limitation, Termination Value,
in lieu of Basic Lease Rent following termination of this Facility Lease)
payable by the Facility Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable in all
events in the manner and at times provided for herein. Such Basic Lease Rent
(and all amounts, including, without limitation, Termination Value, in lieu of
Basic Lease Rent following termination of this Facility Lease) shall not be
subject to any abatement and the payments thereof shall not be subject to any
setoff or reduction for any reason whatsoever, including any present or future
claims of the Facility Lessee or any other Person against the Owner Lessor or
any other Person under this Facility Lease or otherwise. To the extent permitted
by Requirements of Law, the Facility Lessee hereby waives any and all rights
which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it,
by statute or otherwise, to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Facility
Lease with respect to the Undivided


                                       15

<PAGE>

Interest except in accordance with Section 10, 13, 14 or 17. If for any reason
whatsoever this Facility Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by
operation of law or otherwise, except as specifically provided herein, the
Facility Lessee nonetheless agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of
Law, to pay to the Owner Lessor an amount equal to each installment of Basic
Lease Rent and all Supplemental Lease Rent due and owing, at the time such
payment would have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof
had this Facility Lease not been so terminated. Nothing contained herein shall
be construed to waive any claim which the Facility Lessee might have under any
of the Operative Documents or otherwise or to limit the right of the Facility
Lessee to make any claim it might have against the Owner Lessor or any other
Person or to pursue such claim in such manner as the Facility Lessee shall deem
appropriate.

         SECTION 10.1. OCCURRENCE OF EVENTS OF LOSS.

                  (a) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Lessor will
promptly notify the Facility Lessee of any event of which it is aware that would
result in a Regulatory Event of Loss; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to
provide such notice shall not result in any liability with respect to the Owner
Participant or the Owner Lessor and shall not in any way relieve the Facility
Lessee of any of its obligations under this Facility Lease, including the
obligations under this Section 10.

                  (b) If an Event of Loss described in clauses (i) or (ii) of
the definition of Event of Loss shall occur, then, no later than six months
following the date that the Facility Lessee has actual knowledge of such
occurrence, the Facility Lessee shall notify the Owner Lessor and the other
Lease Financing Parties of its election to either (1) subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.3 and the terms of the
other Operative Documents, rebuild the Facility so that the Facility shall have
a current and residual value, remaining useful life and utility at least equal
to that of the Facility prior to such Event of Loss, assuming the Facility was
in the condition and repair required to be maintained by this Facility Lease, or
(2) terminate this Facility Lease and purchase the Facility from the Owner
Lessor by paying to the Owner Lessor an amount equal to the applicable
Termination Value and paying to the parties entitled thereto all other amounts
payable pursuant to Section 10.2. If the Facility Lessee fails to make an
election as provided above, the Facility Lessee will be deemed to have made the
election to terminate this Facility Lease pursuant to clause (2) of this Section
10.1(b) as of the end of the six month period referred to in the first sentence
of this Section 10.1(b).

         SECTION 10.2.   PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION; SPECIAL LESSEE TRANSFER.

                  (a)      If either of the following shall occur:


                                       16

<PAGE>

                           (x)      the Facility Lessee shall elect (or be
                                    deemed to have elected) to terminate this
                                    Facility Lease pursuant to clause (2) of
                                    Section 10.1(b) following an Event of Loss
                                    described in clause (i) or (ii) of the
                                    definition of Event of Loss, or

                           (y)      an Event of Loss described in clause (iii)
                                    or (iv) of the definition of Event of Loss
                                    shall occur,

                           then in the case of either (x) or (y), the Facility
                  Lessee shall pay to the Owner Lessor the sum of (A) the
                  Termination Value determined as of the relevant Termination
                  Date, PLUS (B) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs
                  and expenses of the other Lease Financing Parties incurred in
                  connection with such Event of Loss, PLUS (C) any unpaid Basic
                  Lease Rent or Renewal Lease Rent, as the case may be, payable
                  on such Termination Date, PLUS (D) all other payments of Rent
                  under this Facility Lease which are due and unpaid on the
                  Termination Date, including reimbursement of Incidental Costs,
                  under any other Operative Document (the "EVENT OF LOSS
                  PAYMENT"). The Facility Lessee shall pay such Event of Loss
                  Payment, in the case of clause (x) above, on the next
                  Termination Date immediately following the earlier of (1) the
                  date of the Facility Lessee's notice of its election to
                  terminate this Facility Lease and (2) the date which is six
                  months following the occurrence of such Event of Loss, and in
                  the case of clause (y) above, on a Termination Date occurring
                  no later than six months following the earlier of the date
                  that the Facility Lessee (i) acquires actual knowledge of the
                  occurrence of such Event of Loss or (ii) receives notice
                  pursuant to Section 10.1(a).

Concurrently with the payment of all amounts required to be paid pursuant to
this Section 10.2(a), (i) Basic Lease Rent for the Undivided Interest shall
cease to accrue, (ii) the Facility Lessee shall cease to have any liability to
the Owner Lessor with respect to the Undivided Interest, except for Supplemental
Lease Rent and other obligations (including those under Sections 14.1 and 14.2
of the Participation Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express terms of any
Operative Document, (iii) the Owner Lessor will prepay the Lessor Notes,
pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Lessor Loan Agreement, (iv) the Owner Lessor
shall transfer (by an appropriate instrument of transfer in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Lessor and prepared and recorded at the
Facility Lessee's expense) the Undivided Interest to the Facility Lessee (or its
designee), on an "as is", "where is" basis, without warranty other than a
warranty as to the absence of Owner Lessor's Liens and Owner Participant's
Liens, (v) each of this Facility Lease, the Facility Sublease,


                                       17

<PAGE>

the Facility Site Lease, the Facility Site Sublease and the Facility Site
Sub-Sublease shall terminate and (vi) the Owner Lessor shall execute and deliver
appropriate releases and other documents or instruments necessary or reasonably
requested by the Facility Lessee to effect the foregoing (including, but not
limited to, termination of this Facility Lease) all to be prepared, filed and
recorded (if appropriate) at the cost and expense of the Facility Lessee.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section
10.2(a), in the case of a Regulatory Event of Loss, at the option of the
Facility Lessee, if (i) the Facility Lessee shall have executed and delivered an
assumption agreement to assume the Lessor Notes as permitted by and in
accordance with Section 2.14 of the Lessor Loan Agreement, (ii) all other
conditions contained in such Section 2.14 of the Lessor Loan Agreement shall
have been satisfied and (iii) no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and shall not be cured by such assumption, the obligation of the
Facility Lessee to make the Event of Loss Payment shall be reduced by the
outstanding principal amount of the Lessor Notes so assumed by the Facility
Lessee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, for so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, if
the Facility Lessee shall have chosen to assume the Lessor Notes pursuant to
this Section 10.2(b), the Facility Lessee (or its designee) shall acquire the
Undivided Interest from the Owner Lessor subject to the Lien of the Lessor
Security Documents.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections
10.2(a) and (b) to the contrary, in the case of a Regulatory Event of Loss, the
Facility Lessee (or its designee) so long as the Facility Lessee shall remain
liable under the Facility Lease to pay Basic Lease Rent and all other payments
hereunder in full, and in all respects in accordance with Section 19 of the
Participation Agreement, may purchase the Owner Participant's Beneficial
Interest in lieu of purchasing the Undivided Interest pursuant to Sections 10.2
(a) and (b) and keep the Facility Lease (and Lessor Loan) in place.

         SECTION 10.3. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Any payments with respect to the
Undivided Interest received at any time by the Owner Lessor or the Facility
Lessee from any Governmental Entity or from insurance proceeds as a result of
the occurrence of an Event of Loss shall be applied as follows:

                  (a) all such payments received at any time by the Facility
Lessee shall be promptly paid to the Owner Lessor or, so long as the Lessor
Notes are outstanding, to the Holder Representative, for application pursuant to
the following provisions of this Section 10.3, except that, the Facility Lessee
may retain any amounts that the Owner Lessor would at the time be obligated to
pay to the Facility Lessee as reimbursement pursuant to Section 10.3(b);



                                       18

<PAGE>

                  (b) so much of such payments as shall not exceed the Event of
Loss Payment required to be paid by the Facility Lessee pursuant to Section 10.3
(a) shall be applied in reduction of the Facility Lessee's obligation to pay
such amount if not already paid by the Facility Lessee or, if already paid by
the Facility Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse the Facility Lessee for its
payment of such amount; and

                  (c) the balance, if any, of such payments remaining thereafter
shall be apportioned between the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee in
accordance with their respective interests in the Facility.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Facility Lessee shall have
elected to rebuild the Facility pursuant to Section 10.1(a), any insurance
proceeds received by the Owner Lessor, Holder Representative or the Facility
Lessee as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss described in clause (i)
or (ii) of the definition of Event of Loss shall be applied as provided in
Section 11.7.

         SECTION 10.4. REBUILD. The Facility Lessee's right to rebuild the
Facility pursuant to Section 10.1 (b) shall be subject to the fulfillment, at
the Facility Lessee's sole cost and expense, in addition to the conditions
contained in Section 10.1(b), of the following conditions:

                  (a) no Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing;

                  (b) on the date the Facility Lessee shall give notice pursuant
to Section 10.1(b) of its election to rebuild the Facility in accordance with
this Section 10.4, either (i) the Owner Participant shall have received an
opinion reasonably satisfactory to it from Hunton & Williams, or from a
nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and
reasonably acceptable to Midwest, to the effect that, assuming the proposed
rebuilding is accomplished in the manner and within the time proposed, such
rebuilding would not result in any material indemnified, or any unindemnified
incremental tax risk to the Owner Participant or (ii) the Owner Participant
shall have received an opinion of Hunton & Williams, or another nationally
recognized tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and reasonably
acceptable to Midwest to the effect that it is more likely than not that such
proposed rebuilding would not result in any unindemnified incremental tax risk
or any material indemnified incremental tax risk and the Owner Participant shall
have received collateral or other security for the indemnification obligations
with respect to any such incremental tax risk, such collateral or other security
to be acceptable to the Owner Participant in its sole discretion exercised in
good faith;

                  (c) on the date the Facility Lessee shall give notice pursuant
to Section 10.1(b) of its election to rebuild the Facility in accordance with
this Section 10.4, the Facility Lessee shall deliver to the Owner Participant
and, so long as the


                                       19
<PAGE>

Lessor Notes are outstanding, the Holder Representative (i) a report of the
Engineering Consultant, or such other independent engineer reasonably
satisfactory to the Owner Participant and, so long as the Lessor Notes are
outstanding, the Holder Representative, to the effect that it is reasonable to
expect that such rebuilding of the Facility is technologically feasible and
economically viable and that such rebuilding can be completed by a date that is
36 months prior to the end of the Basic Lease Term or any Renewal Lease Term
then in effect or already elected by the Facility Lessee, and (ii) an appraisal
of an Independent Appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant, and,
so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, the Holder Representative to the
effect that the rebuilt Facility will have at least the same value, residual
value, utility and useful life as the Facility immediately prior to the Event of
Loss, assuming the Facility was then in the condition required to have been
maintained by the terms of the Facility Lease;

                  (d) on the date the Facility Lessee shall notify the Owner
Lessor pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of its election to rebuild the Facility in
accordance with this Section 10.4, the Facility Lessee shall demonstrate to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Owner Participant and, so long as the Lessor
Notes are outstanding, the Holder Representative, adequate financial resources,
from insurance proceeds or otherwise, to complete such rebuilding and to pay
Basic Lease Rent while the Facility is being rebuilt;

                  (e) the Facility Lessee shall cause the rebuilding of the
Facility to commence as soon as reasonably practicable after notifying the Owner
Participant and, so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, the Holder
Representative, of its election to rebuild the Facility in accordance with this
Section 10.4 and in all events within 18 months of the occurrence of the event
that caused such Event of Loss and will cause work on such rebuilding to proceed
diligently thereafter. As the rebuilding of the Facility progresses, title to
an undivided interest equal to the Owner Lessor's Percentage in such rebuilt
Facility shall vest in the Owner Lessor and such Undivided Interest shall become
subject to this Facility Lease and, so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding,
the Lien of the Security Documents, and be deemed a part of the Undivided
Interest for all purposes of this Facility Lease and the other Operative
Documents, automatically and without any further act by any Person;

                  (f) on the date of the completion of such rebuilding of the
Facility (the "REBUILDING CLOSING DATE") the following documents shall be duly
authorized, executed and delivered and, if appropriate, filed for recordation by
the respective party or parties thereto and shall be in full force and effect,
and an executed counterpart of each shall be delivered to the Owner Lessor, the
Owner Participant and the Holder Representative: (i) supplements to this
Facility Lease subjecting an undivided interest equal to the Owner Lessor's
Percentage in the rebuilt Facility to this Facility Lease (with no change in
Purchase Price or the Basic Lease Rent as a result of such rebuilding), (ii) so
long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, supplements to the


                                       20

<PAGE>

Security Documents subjecting such undivided interest in the Facility to the
Lien of the Security Documents, (iii) such recordings and filings, as may be
reasonably requested by the Owner Participant or the Holder Representative to be
made or filed, (iv) an opinion of counsel to the Facility Lessee, such counsel
and such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant and, so
long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, the Holder Representative, to the
effect that (x) the supplements to this Facility Lease required by clause (i)
above constitute effective instruments for subjecting such undivided interest in
the rebuilt Facility to this Facility Lease, (y) the supplements to the Security
Documents required by clause (ii) above, if any, constitute effective
instruments for subjecting such undivided interest in the rebuilt Facility to
the Lien of the Security Documents and (z) all filings and other action
necessary to perfect and protect the Owner Lessor's interest in an undivided
interest equal to the Owner Lessor's Percentage in the rebuilt Facility have
been accomplished, (v) an appraisal by an Independent Appraiser, certifying that
the Facility as so rebuilt has a current and residual value, remaining useful
life and utility at least equal to the current and residual value, remaining
useful life and utility of the Facility immediately prior to such rebuilding
(assuming the Facility was in the condition and repair required to be maintained
by the terms of this Facility Lease), (vi) a report by the Independent Engineer
certifying that the Facility as so rebuilt is in a state of repair and condition
required by this Facility Lease, (vii) an Officer's Certificate of the Facility
Lessee as to compliance with this Section 10.4 and certifying that no Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred as a result of the rebuilding, and (viii)
satisfactory evidence as to the compliance with Section 11 of this Facility
Lease with respect to the Facility, as so rebuilt; and

                  (g) there shall be no material adverse accounting effect under
GAAP on the Owner Participant as a result of such rebuilding and the other
transactions contemplated by this Section 10.4.

                  SECTION 10.5. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS NOT RELATING TO AN EVENT
OF LOSS. (a) In the event that during the Facility Lease Term title to, or the
use of, all or any portion of the Undivided Interest, the Facility or the
Facility Site is requisitioned or taken by or pursuant to a request of any
Governmental Entity under the power of eminent domain or otherwise for a period
or in a manner which does not constitute an Event of Loss, the Facility Lessee's
obligation to pay all installments of Basic Lease Rent shall continue for the
duration of such requisitioning or taking. The Facility Lessee shall be entitled
to receive and retain for its own account all sums payable for any such period
by such Governmental Entity as compensation for such requisition or taking of
possession; PROVIDED, THAT if at the time of such payment a Material Lease
Default or a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
amounts shall be paid to and held by the Owner Lessor unless the Lessor Loans
are outstanding, in which case such amounts shall be paid to and held by the
Holder Representative, as security for the obligations of the Facility Lessee


                                       21

<PAGE>

under this Facility Lease until such time as no Material Lease Default or Lease
Event of Default is continuing.

                  (b) Any insurance proceeds with respect to the Undivided
Interest received at any time by the Owner Lessor, the Holder Representative or
the Facility Lessee under any of the insurance policies required to be
maintained by the Facility Lessee under Section 11 as a result of any damage to
the Facility or any part thereof which does not constitute an Event of Loss
shall be applied as follows: (i) in accordance with Section 11.7, and (ii) the
balance, if any, of such insurance proceeds remaining thereafter shall be paid
to the Facility Lessee.

SECTION 11.  INSURANCE

         SECTION 11.1. PROPERTY INSURANCE. Subject to Section 11.6, the Facility
Lessee will maintain (or cause to be maintained) all risk property insurance,
including coverage for boiler and machinery and the peril of flood and the
peril of earthquake, customarily carried by prudent operators of coal-fired and
oil/gas-fired electric generating facilities of comparable size and risk as the
Facility, and, in any case, subject to availability of said insurance on
commercially reasonable terms and in an amount equal to the Probable Maximum
Loss of the Facility.

         SECTION 11.2. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Subject to Section 11.6, the
Facility Lessee will maintain (or caused to be maintained) liability insurance,
including contractual liability coverage, insuring against claims for bodily
injury (including death) and property damage to third parties arising out of the
ownership, operation, maintenance, condition and use of the Facility and the
Facility Site, with limits of not less than (i) $35,000,000 in the aggregate per
occurrence if such insurance also covers any of the Other Facilities and (ii)
$25,000,000 if such insurance covers solely the Facility and the Facility Site.
The Facility Lessee will at least annually review the liability insurance
maintained by it or on its behalf and will, if necessary, increase such coverage
in order that the liability insurance maintained by it or on its behalf is
consistent with that maintained by prudent operators of similar facilities of
comparable size and risk to the Facility. Such liability insurance may be
purchased either in a single limit or in combination with a general and an
excess policy.

         SECTION 11.3. PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO INSURANCE. Subject to Section
11.6, the Facility Lessee will place the insurance maintained pursuant to this
Section 11 with companies having an A.M. Best rating of at least "A-7" or, if
not so rated, with comparable financial strength. All insurance policies
required to be maintained pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.2 shall name each of
the Owner Participant, the Equity Investor, the Owner Lessor, the Owner Trustee,
the Holder Representative and the Lender as additional insureds, as their
respective interests may appear (the "ADDITIONAL INSUREDS"). All insurance
policies required to be maintained pursuant to the terms hereof shall also
provide for at least 30 days' prior written notice (10 days


                                       22

<PAGE>

if as a result of non-payment) by the insurance carrier to each Additional
Insured in the event of cancellation, non-renewal, termination, expiration or
material change. The Facility Lessee will place the insurance required by the
terms of this Section 11 with insurance companies which agree to waive all
claims for premiums from, and all subrogation rights against, the Additional
Insureds. All the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 11 shall be
primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on
behalf of each of the Additional Insureds with respect to its interests in the
Facility and the Facility Site.

         Subject to Section 11.6, to the extent available on commercially
reasonable terms, the Facility Lessee will use its best efforts to provide that
the respective interests of the Additional Insureds shall not be invalidated by
any act or neglect of the Facility Lessee, or any breach or violation by the
Facility Lessee of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such
policies or by the use of the Facility for purposes more hazardous than
permitted by such policies. Additionally, to the extent available on
commercially reasonable terms, the Facility Lessee will use its best efforts to
provide that such policies shall be endorsed to provide that, inasmuch as the
policies are written to cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions,
insuring agreements and endorsements, with the exception of limits of liability,
shall operate in the manner as if there were a separate policy covering each
insured. The Facility Lessee shall, at its own expense, make or cause to be made
all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary to collect the proceeds of
such insurance.

         SECTION 11.4. REPORTS. Within 15 days after the expiration and renewal
of any insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of this
Section 11, the Facility Lessee shall furnish each Additional Insured with an
executed broker letter identifying all insurance coverage in place and
certifying that all premiums in respect of such policies are current.
Certificates of insurance shall accompany said letter documenting insurance
coverage and the Additional Insured status as required.

         SECTION 11.5. ADDITIONAL INSURANCE. At any time any Additional Insured
may at its own expense and for its own account carry insurance with respect to
its interest in the Undivided Interest, PROVIDED, that such insurance does not
in any way interfere with the Facility Lessee's ability to obtain insurance with
respect thereto as required in this Section 11. Any insurance payments received
from policies maintained by an Additional Insured pursuant to the previous
sentence shall be retained by such Additional Insured without reducing or
otherwise affecting the Facility Lessee's obligations hereunder.

         SECTION 11.6. AMENDMENT OF INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

                  (a) If any insurance required to be maintained by the Facility
Lessee pursuant to the Operative Documents (including the limits or deductibles
or any other terms under policies for such insurance) ceases to be available on
a


                                       23

<PAGE>

commercially reasonable basis at the time of renewal, the Facility Lessee shall
provide written notice to each Additional Insured accompanied by a letter from
the Facility Lessee's insurance broker stating that such insurance is
unavailable on a commercially reasonable basis. Such notice shall be given not
less than 30 days prior to the scheduled date for renewal of any such policy.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Facility Lessee and each Additional Insured
shall immediately enter into good faith negotiations in order to agree upon an
alternative to such insurance.

                  (b) In the event that a resolution acceptable to the Facility
Lessee and all Additional Insureds cannot be reached within 10 days from the
date of the notice referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Additional Insureds
shall make arrangements for the formation of an insurance panel consisting of
the Facility Lessee's insurance advisor (or broker), the Facility Lessor's
insurance advisor (or broker), and an independent insurance expert from an
internationally recognized insurance brokerage firm, chosen by the Facility
Lessee and reasonably acceptable to the Additional Insureds. Such independent
expert shall conduct a separate review of the relevant insurance requirements of
the Operative Documents and the market for such insurance at the time, giving
due consideration to the representations of both insurance advisors, and upon
conclusion of such review shall issue a written report stating whether such
insurance is available, or unavailable, on a commercially reasonable basis.

                  (c) If the insurance expert concludes that such insurance is
not available on a commercially reasonable basis, the insurance expert shall
provide a written recommendation (which shall include the amount and type of
insurance which is available upon a commercially reasonable basis) not less than
15 days before the date for renewal of such insurance. The Facility Lessee
shall, prior to the expiration of the insurance then in effect, obtain such
insurance that is available on a commercially reasonable basis. The
recommendation of the insurance expert shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Additional Insureds, and the Facility Lessee shall, for the immediately
succeeding one-year policy period, only be required to carry the insurance that
the expert has certified is available on a commercially reasonable basis.

                  (d) All fees, costs and expenses associated with the insurance
panel (including review by the insurance expert) shall be paid by the Facility
Lessee.

         SECTION 11.7. APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. (a) All insurance
proceeds up to $5,000,000 on account of any damage to or destruction of the
Facility or any part thereof (in each case less the actual costs, fees and
expenses incurred in the collection thereof), shall, subject to Section 11.7(d),
be paid to or retained by the Facility Lessee for application in repair or
replacement of the affected property. If the insurance proceeds on account of
such damage or destruction to the Facility exceed $5,000,000 but are less than
$25,000,000, then all such insurance proceeds


                                       24
<PAGE>

shall, subject to Section 11.7(d), be paid to or retained by the Facility Lessee
for application in repair or replacement of the affected property for so long as
the Holdings long-term unsecured indebtedness shall be rated at least BBB- and
Baa3 by S&P and Moody's, respectively. In all other situations, all insurance
proceeds on account of such damage or destruction to the Facility, shall be paid
to the Owner Lessor or, if the Lessor Notes are outstanding, the Holder
Representative and be applied and dealt with as provided in Section 11.7(b)
below.

                  (b) All such proceeds actually received on account of any such
damage or destruction other than in connection with an Event of Loss shall,
unless a Material Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred
and continuing, be paid over to the Facility Lessee or as it may direct from
time to time as restoration progresses, to pay (or reimburse the Facility Lessee
for) the cost of restoration, if the amount of such proceeds received by the
Holder Representative or the Owner Lessor, together with such additional
amounts, if any, theretofore expended by the Facility Lessee out of its own
funds for such restoration, are sufficient to pay the estimated cost of
completing such restoration, but only upon receipt by the Owner Lessor and, so
long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, the Holder Representative of a
written application of the Facility Lessee accompanied by an Officer's
Certificate of the Facility Lessee setting forth in reasonable detail the nature
of such restoration, the actual cash expenditures made to date for such
restoration and the estimated cost to complete such restoration and stating that
no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

                  (c) All such proceeds received or payable on account of an
Event of Loss shall, unless the Facility Lessee has elected to rebuild or
restore the Facility pursuant to Section 10.2, be dealt with in accordance with
Section 10.3.

                  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
11 or Section 10, so long as a Material Lease Default or a Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the proceeds of any insurance
required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11 that would otherwise be
payable to or for the account of, or that would otherwise be retained by, the
Facility Lessee pursuant to this Section 11 or Section 10.3 will be held as
security for the obligations of the Facility Lessee under this Facility Lease by
the Owner Lessor or, so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, the Holder
Representative and at such time thereafter as no Material Lease Default or a
Lease Event of Default shall be continuing, such amount shall be paid promptly
to the Facility Lessee.

SECTION 12.  INSPECTION

         During the Facility Lease Term, each of the Lease Financing Parties and
their respective representatives shall have the right, during normal business
hours, upon reasonable notice to the Facility Lessee and at no expense (except

                                       25

<PAGE>

Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or
risk to the Facility Lessee, to inspect the Facility and the records with
respect to the operations and maintenance thereof in the Facility Lessee's
custody or to which the Facility Lessee has access; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any
such inspection shall be conducted in accordance with the Operative Documents
and so as not to interfere with the operation or maintenance of the Facility or
the conduct by the Facility Lessee of its business and shall be in accordance
with the Facility Lessee's safety and insurance programs. The Lease Financing
Parties shall attempt to conduct their inspections at the same time and, except
during the continuance of a Material Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default
or during the last 24 months of the Facility Lease Term (unless the Facility
Lessee shall have exercised its option to renew the Facility Lease), no more
than one inspection a year shall be conducted by any Lease Financing Party.

SECTION 13.  TERMINATION OPTION FOR BURDENSOME EVENTS

         SECTION 13.1. TERMINATION FOR ILLEGALITY. If, as a result of change in
Requirements of Law, it shall have become illegal for the Facility Lessee to
continue this Facility Lease or for the Facility Lessee to make payments under
this Facility Lease or any other Operative Document, and the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents cannot be restructured to comply with
such change in law in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lease Financing
Parties, the Facility Lessee shall have the right, at its option, by giving
notice to the Owner Lessor no later than twelve months after the date the
Facility Lessee receives notice or first has actual knowledge of such
illegality, to terminate this Facility Lease on the Termination Date specified
in such notice (which shall be a date occurring not more than 60 days after the
date of such notice) and purchase the Undivided Interest by paying to the Owner
Lessor the Termination Value determined as of such Termination Date and paying
to the Persons entitled thereto all other amounts required to be paid under
Section 13.3. It shall be a condition to the termination of this Facility Lease
pursuant to this Section 13.1 that each Other Facility Lessee which is an
Affiliate of the Facility Lessee, or is the Facility Lessee itself, shall also
exercise its right to terminate any and all Other Facility Leases to which each
such Facility Lessee is a party to the extent that the "Owner Lessor" with
respect to such Other Facility Lease is the Owner Lessor itself or an Affiliate
thereof and to the extent the Facility Lessee is then entitled to exercise such
termination right under such Other Facility Leases.

         SECTION 13.2. TERMINATION FOR BURDENSOME INDEMNITY. If (i) one or more
events outside the control of the Facility Lessee or its Affiliates shall have
occurred which will, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise to an
obligation by the Facility Lessee to pay or incur an indemnity obligation under
Section XIV of the Participation Agreement (except for tax indemnity obligations
expected on the Closing Date to be incurred) or pursuant to the Tax Indemnity
Agreement, (ii) such payment or indemnity obligation (and the underlying cost or
tax) can be avoided in


                                       26

<PAGE>

whole or in part if the Facility Lessee purchases the Undivided Interest and
(iii) the amount of such avoided payments, together with the amount of any
indemnity payments made during the Burdensome Buyout Period that could have been
avoided if the Facility had been purchased by the Facility Lessee would exceed
(on a present value basis, discounted at the Discount Rate, compounded on an
annual basis to the date of the termination) 2.5% of the Purchase Price (unless
the Owner Participant has waived its right to indemnity payments in excess of
2.5% of the Purchase Price or arranged for its own account for the payment
thereof), the Facility Lessee shall have the right, at its option, no later than
24 months after the date the Facility Lessee receives notice or actual knowledge
of such event referred to in clause (i) above, to terminate this Facility Lease
on the Termination Date specified in the notice provided pursuant to Section
13.1 (which shall be a date occurring not more than 60 days after the date of
such notice), and purchase the Undivided Interest by paying to the Owner Lessor
the Termination Value determined as of such Termination Date and paying to the
Persons entitled thereto all other amounts required to be paid under Section
13.3. It shall be a condition to the termination of this Facility Lease pursuant
to this Section 13.2 that each Other Facility Lessee which is an Affiliate of
the Facility Lessee, or is the Facility Lessee itself, shall also exercise its
right to terminate any and all Other Facility Leases to which each such
Facility Lessee is a party to the extent that the "Owner Lessor" with respect to
such Other Facility Lease is the Owner Lessor itself or an Affiliate thereof and
to the extent the Facility Lessee is then entitled to exercise such termination
right under such Other Facility Leases.

         SECTION 13.3. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF TERMINATION OPTION. If the
Facility Lessee shall have exercised its option under Section 13.1 or 13.2
(each, a "BURDENSOME BUYOUT OPTION"), on the Termination Date specified in the
Facility Lessee's notice of such exercise, the Facility Lessee shall pay the
Termination Value to the Owner Lessor, and shall pay the following amounts to
the Owner Lessor or the Person entitled thereto, without duplication, (a) all
amounts of Basic Lease Rent or Renewal Lease Rent, as the case may be, due and
payable on or prior to such Termination Date PLUS (b) all reasonable documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lease Financing Parties, other
than Affiliates of the Facility Lessee, in connection with the exercise of the
Burdensome Buyout Option due and payable on or prior to the Termination Date
PLUS (c) any other Rent payments under the Facility Lease due and unpaid on such
Termination Date, including reimbursement of Incidental Costs under the Lessor
Loan Agreement, under any other Operative Document. Concurrently with the
payment of all sums specified in Section 13.1 or 13.2, as the case may be, and
this Section 13.3, (1) Basic Lease Rent for the Undivided Interest shall cease
to accrue, (2) the Facility Lessee shall cease to have any liability to the
Owner Lessor with respect to the Undivided Interest, except for Supplemental
Lease Rent and other obligations (including those under Sections 14.1 and 14.2
of the Participation Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express terms of any
Operative Document, (3) the Owner Lessor will in connection with a sale of the
Facility pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.2 transfer (by an appropriate instrument
of


                                       27

<PAGE>

transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Lessee and
prepared and recorded at the Facility Lessee's expense), the Undivided Interest
to the Facility Lessee (or its designee) on an "as is"and "where is" basis,
without representations or warranties other than a warranty as to the absence
of Owner Lessor's Liens and the Owner Participant's Liens, (4) this Facility
Lease shall terminate and (5) the Owner Lessor shall deliver appropriate
releases and other documents or instruments necessary or desirable to effect the
foregoing, all to be prepared, filed and recorded (if appropriate) at the cost
and expense of the Facility Lessee. It shall be a condition of the termination
of this Facility Lease pursuant to this Section 13 that the Facility Lessee
shall pay all amounts it is obligated to pay under Section 13.1 or 13.2, as the
case may be, and this Section 13.3 and all other amounts due by the Facility
Lessee under this Facility Lease and the other Operative Documents. The
Burdensome Buyout Option must be exercised within the 24 month period (the
"BURDENSOME BUYOUT PERIOD") after actual knowledge by the Facility Lessee of the
event or illegality, as the case may be, giving rise thereto, and if the
Burdensome Buyout Option is not exercised within the Burdensome Buyout Period,
the Facility Lessee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to
exercise the Burdensome Buyout Option with respect to such event. If the
Facility Lessee fails to consummate the Burdensome Buyout Option under this
Section 13 after giving notice of its intention to do so (other than in
consequence of a failure of the Owner Lessor or Owner Participant to fulfill
their obligations, if any, under Section 13), (i) the Facility Lease shall
continue, (ii) such failure to consummate shall not constitute a default under
the Facility Lease, and (iii) the Facility Lessee will lose its right to
terminate this Facility Lease pursuant to this Section 13.3 as a result of the
event or condition giving rise to such Burdensome Buyout Option during the
remainder of the Facility Lease Term. The Facility Lessee hereby acknowledges
the Lien of the Lessor Security Documents and agrees for the benefit of the
Holder Representative that any transfer effected pursuant to this Section 13.3
will be subject to said Lien unless the same has been released or discharged in
accordance with the terms of the Lessor Security Documents.

         SECTION 13.4. ASSUMPTION OF THE LESSOR NOTES; SPECIAL LESSEE TRANSFERS.

                  (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 13.3
to the contrary, at the option of the Facility Lessee, if (i) the Facility
Lessee shall have executed and delivered an assumption agreement to assume the
Lessor Notes as permitted by and in accordance with Section 2.13 of the Lessor
Loan Agreement, (ii) all other conditions contained in such Section 2.13 of the
Lessor Loan Agreement shall have been satisfied, (iii) no Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and shall not be cured by such assumption,
(iv) the Facility Lessee shall remain liable under the Facility Lease to pay
Basic Lease Rent and to make other payments under the Facility Lease in full and
(v) the Facility Lessee shall purchase the Facility pursuant to Section 13.1 or
13.2, as the case may be, then, the obligation of the Facility Lessee to pay
Termination Value shall be reduced by the outstanding


                                       28

<PAGE>

principal amount of the Lessor Notes so assumed by the Facility Lessee;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, for so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding, if the
Facility Lessee shall have chosen to assume the Lessor Notes pursuant to this
Section 13.4(a), the Facility Lessee (or its designee) shall acquire the
Undivided Interest from the Owner Lessor subject to the Lien of the Lessor
Security Documents.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 13.3
to the contrary, in the case of a Burdensome Buyout Event, the Facility Lessee
(or its designee) so long as the Facility Lessee shall remain liable under the
Facility Lease to pay Basic Lease Rent and all other payments hereunder in full,
and in all respects in accordance with Section 19 of the Participation
Agreement, may purchase the Owner Participant's Beneficial Interest or all of
the outstanding membership interests in the Owner Participant, in lieu of
purchasing the Undivided Interest pursuant to Sections 13.1 and 13.2, and keep
the Facility Lease (and Lessor Loan) in place.

the option, so long as no Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such notice or the proposed
Obsolescence Termination Date (as defined below), to terminate this Facility

termination selected by the Facility Lessee being the "OBSOLESCENCE TERMINATION
DATE") which proposed Obsolescence Termination Date shall be set forth in the
notice, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14, if (a) the
Facility is economically or technologically obsolete as a result of (i) a change
in Requirements of Law, regulation or tariff of general application or
imposition by the FERC or any other Governmental Entity having or claiming

purchase agreements; (b) an event has occurred that, in the Facility Lessee's
good faith judgment, will cause the Facility to become obsolete; or (c) the

Lease pursuant to this Section 14.1 that each Other Facility Lessee which is an

commercially reasonable efforts to obtain bids from third parties unaffiliated

Lessor's Interest to any third party with whom the Facility Lessee or an
Affiliate thereof has an arrangement to use or operate the Facility to generate

other Rent payments under the Facility Lease due and unpaid on the Obsolescence
Termination Date, including the reimbursement of Incidental Costs under the

                                       30

<PAGE>

14.1 and 14.2 of the Participation Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express

pursuant to this Section 14.3, that the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee
shall each pay all amounts that each is obligated to pay under this Section
14.3.

         SECTION 14.4. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF TERMINATION OPTION. If the
Owner Lessor has not elected to retain the Undivided Interest in accordance with
Section 14.3 hereof, on the Obsolescence Termination Date the Owner Lessor shall

any Affiliate thereof or any third party with whom the Facility Lessee or an
Affiliate thereof has an arrangement to use or operate the Facility to generate
power for the benefit of the Facility Lessee, the Facility Sublessee or any
Affiliate after the termination of this Facility Lease), that shall have
submitted the highest cash bid or bids with respect to the Owner Lessor's
Interest. On the Obsolescence Termination Date, the Facility Lessee shall pay to
the Owner Lessor (a) the excess, if any, of Termination Value determined as of
such Obsoles cence Termination Date over the proceeds of the sale of the
Undivided Interest paid to or retained by the Owner Lessor in connection with
such sale, PLUS (b) if such Obsolescence Termination Date shall be a Rent
Payment Date, any Basic Lease Rent or Renewal Lease Rent due and payable on such
Rent Payment Date, PLUS (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of

Lease Rent for the Undivided Interest shall cease to accrue, (ii) the Facility
Lessee shall cease to have any liability hereunder to the Owner Lessor with

appropriate instrument of transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Owner Lessor and prepared and recorded at the Facility Lessee's expense)
the Owner Lessor's Interest under this Section 14.4, to the purchaser on an "as

least 30 days' prior notice to the Owner Lessor, in which event this Facility
Lease shall continue with respect to the Undivided Interest; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Facility Lessee shall not be permitted to reissue a notice to terminate
pursuant to Section 14.1 more than once in any five year period. The Owner
Lessor shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of
the Facility Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in arranging any
such sale of the Owner Lessor's Interest other than, if the Owner Lessor has not
elected to retain the Undivided Interest, to transfer the Owner Lessor's
Interest in accordance with clause (iv) of the second preceding sentence. It
shall be a condition of the Owner Lessor's obligation to consummate a sale of
the Owner Lessor's Interest that the Facility Lessee shall pay all amounts it is
obligated to pay under this Section 14.4. If no sale shall occur on the
Obsolescence Termination Date, the notice of termination shall be deemed revoked
and this Facility Lease shall continue as to the Undivided Interest in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms (without prejudice to the Facility
Lessee's right to exercise its rights under this Section 14). It shall be a
condition to the termination of this Facility Lease pursuant to this Section
14.4 that each Other Facility Lessee which is an Affiliate of the Facility
Lessee, or is the Facility Lessee itself, shall also exercise its right to
terminate any and all Other Facility Leases to which each such Facility Lessee
is a party to the extent that the "Owner Lessor" with respect to such Other
Facility Lease is the Owner Lessor itself or an Affiliate thereof and to the
extent the Facility Lessee is then entitled to exercise such termination right
under such Other Facility Leases. The Facility Lessee hereby acknowledges the
Lien of the Lessor Security Documents and agrees for the benefit of the Holder
Representative that any transfer effected pursuant to this Section 14.4 will be
subject to said Lien unless the same has been released or discharged in
accordance with the terms of the Lessor Security Documents.

         SECTION 15.3. BASIC LEASE RENT AND TERMINATION VALUE FOR RENEWAL TERM.
During each Renewal Lease Term, Renewal Lease Rent shall be paid on the Rent
Payment Dates. The installment of Renewal Lease Rent payable on each such Rent
Payment Date during the First Wintergreen Renewal Lease Term and the Second
Wintergreen Renewal Lease Term shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair
Market Rental Value of the Undivided Interest determined not more than 36 months
prior to the expiration of the Basic Lease Term, in case of rent payable during
the First Wintergreen Renewal Term, or the First Wintergreen Renewal Lease Term,
in the case of rent payable during the Second Wintergreen Renewal Term, and (ii)
50% of the average Basic Lease Rent payable with respect to the Basic Lease
Term. Renewal Lease Rent payable on each Rent Payment Date during any FMV
Renewal Lease Term for the Undivided Interest shall be equal to the Fair Market
Rental Value of the Undivided Interest determined not more than 36 months before
the commencement of such FMV Renewal Lease Term.

         SECTION 15.4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET RENTAL VALUE. The Fair
Market Rental Value of the Undivided Interest as of the commencement of any
Renewal Lease Term shall be determined by agreement of the Owner Lessor and the
Facility Lessee within six months after receipt by the Owner Lessor of the
notice from the Facility Lessee of its election to renew pursuant to Section
15.1 or 15.2 (but not more than 36 months before the commencement of such
Renewal Lease Term) or, if they shall fail to agree within such six month
period, shall be determined by an appraisal conducted by an Independent
Appraiser according to the Appraisal Procedure. The Facility Lessee shall be
responsible for such Independent Appraiser's fees and expenses.

SECTION 16.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT

         Each of the following events shall constitute a "LEASE EVENT OF
DEFAULT" hereunder (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or
come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance
with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any Governmental Authority):

                  (a) the Facility Lessee shall fail to make any payment of
Basic Lease Rent, Renewal Lease Rent, Incidental Costs payable as Supplemental
Lease Rent, Termination Value or other costs (but in no event interest or
principal), fees and expenses associated with the Lessor Notes (other than
costs, fees and expenses in respect of the Lessor Notes incurred as a result of
the Lessor Loan Event of Default which is not a Lease Event of Default) when
due, and such failure shall continue unremedied for five (5) Business Days; or



                                       35

<PAGE>

                  (b) the Facility Lessee shall fail to make any other payment
under this Facility Lease, or under any other Operative Document (other than
Excepted Payments, unless the Owner Participant shall have declared a default
with respect thereto) when due, and such failure shall have continued unremedied
for 30 days after receipt by the Facility Lessee of written notice of such
failure; or

                  (c) the Facility Lessee or Facility Sublessee shall fail to
maintain insurance in the amounts and on the terms set forth in the Operative
Documents, including Section 11 hereof, and such failure shall continue
unremedied for 10 Business Days after receipt by the Facility Lessee of written
notice thereof; or

                  (d) the Facility Lessee, Facility Sublessee, or Holdings,
shall fail to perform or observe any other material covenant set forth in this
Facility Lease or any other covenant set forth in the Participation Agreement
(other than the covenant set forth in Section 5.9 of the Participation
Agreement) or in any other Operative Document and such failure shall continue
unremedied for 30 days after receipt by the Facility Lessee of written notice
thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such failure cannot be remedied within such
30-day period, then the period within which to remedy such failure shall be
extended up to an additional 180 days, so long as the Facility Lessee diligently
pursues such remedy, such failure is reasonably capable of being remedied within
such additional 180-day period and the continuation of such failure during the
period of such extension would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Facility Lessee, Facility Sublessee or Holdings, as the case may be; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that in the case of the Facility Lessee's obligation set forth in
clause (b) of Section 7.1, to the extent and for so long as a test, challenge,
appeal or proceeding to review with respect to such non-compliance shall be
prosecuted in good faith by the Facility Lessee, the failure by the Facility
Lessee to comply with the requirements thereof shall not constitute a Lease
Event of Default if such test, challenge, appeal or proceeding shall not involve
(i) a risk of foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of, or imposition of a Lien
on, the Facility or any part thereof or of impairment of the use, operation or
maintenance of the Facility, or (ii) a risk of criminal liability being incurred
by, or of a material adverse effect on the interests of, the Lender, the Funding
LLC Notes, the Owner Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Facility Lessee or the
Facility Sublessee (or any Affiliate thereof), including, without limitation,
subjecting any such person (except the Facility Sublessee) to regulation as a
public utility under Requirements of Law; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, also in the
case of the Facility Lessee's obligation set forth in clause (b) of Section 7.1,
if such noncompliance is not a type that can be immediately remedied, the
failure to comply shall not be a Lease Event of Default if the Facility Lessee
is taking all reasonable action to remedy such noncompliance and if, but only
if, such noncompliance shall not involve any danger described in clause (i) or
(ii) of the preceding proviso; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, such noncompliance, or
such test, challenge, appeal or proceeding to review with respect to such
noncompliance shall not extend beyond the date that is


                                       36

<PAGE>

36 months prior to the scheduled expiration of the Basic Lease Term or any
Renewal Lease Term then in effect or already elected by the Facility Lessee; or

                  (e) any representation or warranty of the Facility Lessee,
Facility Sublessee or Holdings set forth in the Operative Documents (other than
a Tax Representation set forth in of the Tax Indemnity Agreement) shall prove to
have been incorrect in any material respect when made and the facts or
circumstances upon which such breach of representation or warranty is based
continue to be material and unremedied for a period of 30 days after receipt by
the Facility Lessee of written notice thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such
condition cannot be remedied within such 30-day period, then the period within
which to remedy such condition shall be extended up to an additional 60 days, so
long as the Facility Lessee diligently pursues such remedy, such condition is
reasonably capable of being remedied within such additional 60-day period and
the continuation of such condition during the period of such extension would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Facility Lessee, Facility Sublessee or
Holdings, as the case may be; or

                  (f) any of the Facility Lessee, the Facility Sublessee or
Holdings shall (i) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking relief
under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or liquidation, reorganization or other
relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or apply for or consent to the

official of it or any substantial part of its property, or (ii) consent to, or
fail to controvert in a timely manner, any such relief or the appointment of or
taking possession by any such official in any voluntary case or other proceeding
commenced against it, or (iii) file an answer admitting the material allegations
of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, or (iv) make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

                  (g) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced
against any of the Facility Lessee, the Facility Sublessee or Holdings, seeking

period of 90 days; or

permitted by, and subject to compliance with any mandatory Requirements of Law
then in effect:

                  (a) proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at

applicable covenants and terms of this Facility Lease or to recover damages for
breach thereof;

                  (b) by notice in writing to the Facility Lessee, terminate

and the Facility Lessee shall, upon written demand of the Owner Lessor ,
forthwith return possession of the Undivided Interest to the Owner Lessor in the
manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the

sale, as the Owner Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights of the

Facility Lessee with respect to such sale or for the proceeds thereof (except to
the extent required by paragraph (f) below if the Owner Lessor elects to
exercise its rights under said paragraph and by Requirements of Law), in which
event the Facility Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent hereunder due for
any periods subsequent to the date of such sale shall terminate (except to the
extent that Basic Lease Rent is to be included in computations under paragraph
(f) below if the Owner Lessor elects to exercise its rights under said
paragraph);

                  (d) hold, keep idle or lease to others the Owner Lessor's

inaction or for any proceeds with respect thereto, except that the Facility
Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent with respect to the Undivided
Interest due for any periods subsequent to the date upon which the Facility
Lessee shall have been deprived of possession and use of the Undivided Interest
pursuant to this Section 17 shall be reduced by the net proceeds, if any,
received by the Owner Lessor from leasing the Undivided Interest to any Person
other than the Facility Lessee;

                  (e) whether or not the Owner Lessor shall have exercised, or
shall thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (b)
above with respect to the Undivided Interest, the Owner Lessor, by written
notice to the Facility Lessee specifying a Termination Date that shall be not
earlier than 10 days after the date of such notice, may demand that the Facility
Lessee pay to the Owner Lessor, and the Facility Lessee shall pay to the Owner
Lessor, on the Termination Date specified in such notice, any unpaid Basic Lease
Rent due before such Termination Date and, if such Termination Date shall be a
Rent Payment Date, any Basic Lease Rent due and payable on such Rent Payment
Date, any Supplemental Lease Rent due and unpaid as of the payment date
specified in such notice, plus as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and
not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Lease Rent due after the Termination Date
specified in such notice), (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Termination Value computed as of the Termination Date specified in such notice
over the Fair Market Sales Value of the Owner Lessor's Interest as of the
Termination Date specified in such notice; or (ii) an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of Termination Value computed as of the Termination Date
specified in such notice over the Fair Market Rental Value of the Owner Lessor's
Interest until the end of the Basic Lease Term or the then current Renewal Lease

                                       41

<PAGE>

of the Termination Date specified in such notice at a rate equal to the Discount
Rate; or (iii) an amount equal to the Termination Value computed as of the
Termination Date specified in such notice and, upon payment of such Termination
Value by the Facility Lessee pursuant to this clause (iii) and all other Rent
then due and unpaid by the Facility Lessee, the Owner Lessor will forthwith
transfer to the Facility Lessee (or its designee) in accordance with this
Section 17.1(e) and Section 6 of the Facility Site Lease on an "as is", "where
is" and "with all faults" basis, without representation or warranty other than a
warranty as to the absence of Owner Lessor's Liens accompanied by a warranty of
the Owner Participant as to the absence of the Owner Participant's Liens, all of
its interest in the Owner Lessor's Interest and execute, acknowledge and
deliver, and record and file (as appropriate), appropriate releases, including a
release from the Lien of the Security Documents, and all other documents or
instructions necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Lessor and at the cost and
expense of the Facility Lessee, and upon payment of such amounts under either
clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (e), this Facility Lease, and the
Facility Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent hereunder due for any
periods subsequent to the date of such payment shall terminate; and

                  (f) if the Owner Lessor shall have sold the Owner Lessor's
Interest pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the Owner Lessor may, if it shall so
elect, demand that the Facility Lessee pay to the Owner Lessor, and the Facility
Lessee shall pay to the Owner Lessor, as liquidated damages for loss of a
bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Lease Rent due for any
periods subsequent to the date of such sale), an amount equal to (A) any unpaid
Basic Lease Rent due before the date of such sale PLUS (B) if that date is a
Rent Payment Date, the Basic Lease Rent due on that date, PLUS (C) the amount,
if any, by which the Termination Value computed as of the Termination Date next
preceding the date of such sale or, if such sale occurs on a Rent Payment Date
or a Termination Date then computed as of such date, exceeds the net proceeds of
such sale, and, upon payment of such amount, this Facility Lease and the
Facility Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent for any periods subsequent
to the date of such payment shall terminate.

         In addition, the Facility Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise
provided above, for (i) any and all unpaid Basic Lease Rent due hereunder
before, or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, (ii) the amount
of any Incidental Costs payable under Section 2.15 of the Lessor Loan Agreement,
and (iii) on an After-Tax Basis, for legal fees and other costs and expenses
incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default or the
exercise of the Owner Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, including the
repayment in full of any costs and expenses necessary to be expended in
connection with the return of the Undivided Interest in accordance with Section
5.2 hereof, including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred by
the Owner Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Holder Representative and other
Lease Financing Parties in connection with retaking constructive


                                       42

<PAGE>

possession of, or in repairing, the Undivided Interest in order to cause it to
be in compliance with all maintenance standards imposed by this Facility Lease.

         SECTION 17.2. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The remedies in this Facility Lease
provided in favor of the Owner Lessor shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies in its favor
existing at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of exercise by the
Owner Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by the Owner Lessor of any or all of such other
remedies. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the Facility Lessee
hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise
which may require the Owner Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Undivided
Interest or any Component thereof in mitigation of Owner Lessor's damages as set
forth in this Section 17 or which may otherwise limit or modify any of Owner
Lessor's rights and remedies in this Section 17.

         SECTION 17.3. NO DELAY OR OMISSION TO BE CONSTRUED AS WAIVER. No delay
or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Owner Lessor
upon any breach or default by the Facility Lessee under this Facility Lease
shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Owner Lessor, nor shall any
such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of
any similar breach or default hereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of a
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

SECTION 18.  SECURITY INTEREST AND INVESTMENT OF SECURITY FUNDS

         Any moneys received by the Owner Lessor or the Holder Representative
pursuant to Section 10.3, 10.5 or 11.7 shall, until paid to the Facility Lessee
as provided in accordance with such Sections, be held by the Owner Lessor or the
Holder Representative, as the case may be, as security for the Facility Lessee's
obligations under this Facility Lease and be invested in Permitted Investments
by the Owner Lessor or the Holder Representative, as the case may be, at the
sole risk of the Facility Lessee, from time to time as directed in writing by
the Facility Lessee if such investments are reasonably available for purchase.
Any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such
Permitted Investment (net of any fees, commissions, taxes and other expenses, if
any, incurred in connection with such Permitted Investment) shall be applied or
remitted to the Facility Lessee in the same manner as the principal invested.

SECTION 19.  RIGHT TO SUBLEASE

parties hereto acknowledge and consent to the Facility Sublease, and nothing
contained in this Section 19 shall limit the terms or the effect of or render
the Facility Sublease to Midwest ineffective.

         SECTION 19.2. OTHER SUBLEASE. In the event the Facility Sublease is
terminated, pursuant to the provisions of the Operative Documents, the Facility

grant a Lien to the Holder Representative of all of the Owner Lessor's right,
title and interest in, to and under this Facility Lease, and the Undivided
Interest (other than Excepted Payments and Excepted Rights). The Facility Lessee
hereby consents to such assignment and to the creation of such Lien and security
interest and acknowledges receipt of copies of the Lessor Security Documents, it
being understood that such consent shall not affect any requirement or the
absence of any requirement for any consent of the Facility Lessee under any
other circumstances. Unless and until the Facility Lessee shall have received
written notice from the Holder Representative that the Lien of the Security
Documents has been fully terminated, the Holder Representative shall have the
right to exercise the rights of the Owner Lessor under this Facility Lease
(other than Excepted Rights) to the extent set forth in and subject in each case
to the exceptions set forth in the Lessor Security Documents. TO THE EXTENT, IF
ANY, THAT THIS FACILITY LEASE CONSTITUTES CHATTEL PAPER (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED
IN THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AS IN EFFECT IN ANY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION), NO
SECURITY INTEREST IN THIS FACILITY LEASE MAY BE CREATED THROUGH THE TRANSFER OR
POSSESSION OF ANY COUNTERPART HEREOF OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL COUNTERPART, WHICH

BY THE HOLDER REPRESENTATIVE ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE THEREOF.

         SECTION 22.3. SURVIVAL. Except for the provisions of Sections 3.3, 3.5,
5, 9 and 17, which shall survive, the warranties and covenants made by each
party hereto shall not survive the expiration or termination of this Facility

binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns as permitted by and
in accordance with the terms hereof.

                  (b) Except as expressly provided in Section 22.4(c), the
Facility Lessee may not assign the Facility Lease or any other Operative
Document, or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of the
Owner Lessor and the Owner Participant.

                  (c) The Facility Lessee may, upon satisfaction of the
conditions set forth herein and in Section 22.4(d), without the consent of any
other Lease Financing Party, so long as the Owner Lessor or Owner Participant
does not become regulated as a "public utility" or "public utility holding
company" as a result of such assignment, assign the Facility Lease and the other
Operative Documents, or any interest therein. In addition to the conditions set
forth in the preceding sentence, the Facility Lessee may assign the Facility
Lease and the other Operative Documents, or any interest therein, under the
following circumstances:

                           (i) to any entity; PROVIDED that such entity's long
         term senior unsecured Indebtedness is rated equal to or higher than
         BBB+ from S&P and Baa1 from Moody's; or

                           (ii) to any entity; PROVIDED that the Facility Lessee
         shall remain secondarily liable under the Facility Lease and all other

shall, upon the transferee's assumption of the Facility Lessee's obligations
under the Facility Lease and the other Operative Documents in accordance with
the terms of this Section 22.4(c) and Section 22.4(d), have no further liability
or obligation thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Lessor
Notes are outstanding, no such assignment shall be permitted unless each of S&P
and Moody's shall


                                       48

<PAGE>

have confirmed that such assumption shall not result in a downgrade of the then
existing credit rating of the Funding LLC Notes below BBB- and Baa3,
respectively.

                  (d) Any assignment by the Facility Lessee pursuant to Section
22.4(c) shall be subject to satisfaction of the following additional conditions:

         thereof, to the effect that all regulatory approvals required in

         Lessee's obligations under the Operative Documents shall have been
         obtained;

                           (ii) such transfer shall be pursuant to an assignment
         and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
         to the Owner Participant (and the Holder Representative and the Lender,
         so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding);

                           (iii) the Owner Lessor and the Owner Participant (and
         the Holder Representative and the Lender, so long as the Lessor Notes
         are outstanding) shall have received an opinion of counsel, which
         opinion and counsel are reasonably satisfactory to each recipient
         thereof, as to the validity and enforceability of such assignment and
         assumption agreement required pursuant to (ii) above;

                           (iv) the Owner Participant shall have received an
         opinion reasonably satisfactory to it from Hunton & Williams, or from a
         nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Owner Participant and
         reasonably acceptable to the Facility Lessee, to the effect that such
         transfer would not result in any material indemnified, or any
         unindemnified, incremental tax risk to the Owner Participant;

                           (v) no Material Lease Default or no Lease Event of
         Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

                           (vi) such transfer by the Facility Lessee shall not
         result in a Regulatory Event of Loss;

                           (vii) the transferee shall not be involved in
         material litigation with the Owner Participant;


                                       49

         retained by the transferee, shall be experienced in operating
         facilities such as the Facility.

         The Facility Lessee acknowledges that the Owner Participant is a third
party beneficiary of this Section 22.4 and should be entitled to enforce its
rights hereunder as if it were a party to this Facility Lease.

         SECTION 22.5. "TRUE LEASE". This Facility Lease shall constitute an
agreement of lease and nothing herein shall be construed as conveying to the
Facility Lessee any right, title or interest in or to the Undivided Interest
except as lessee only. The parties hereto hereby agree that the Lessee's
obligation to make Excepted Payments is a separate and independent obligation
from its obligation to make other Rent payments, and that the Lessee's
obligation to make Excepted Payments may be assigned, pledged or otherwise
transferred separately from the Lessee's obligations to make other Rent
payments. The obligation to make Excepted Payments has been included herein for
the convenience of the parties.

         SECTION 22.6. GOVERNING LAW. This Facility Lease was negotiated in the
State of New York which the Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor agree has a
substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction
embodied hereby, and, in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law, in all respects, including matters of construction, validity
and performance, this Facility Lease shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made
and performed in such State and any applicable law of the United States of
America, EXCEPT that the provisions for the creation and enforcement of the
leasehold interest created hereby shall be governed by and construed according
to the law of the state in which the Facility is located, it being understood
that, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the state in which the
Facility is located, the law of the State of New York shall govern the validity
and the enforceability of the representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations of the Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor under this Facility
Lease and all other Operative Documents and all of the indebtedness arising
hereunder or thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Facility
Lessee and the Owner Lessor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive any
claim to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction governs this Facility
Lease, except as expressly otherwise provided above.

                  Increase Amounts for the Advance Periods ending prior to, but
                  not on, the date of computation. As set forth in Section 3.4
                  of this Facility Lease, each component of Basic Lease Rent is
                  subject to adjustment under the circumstances, and in the
                  manner, described in Section 3.4 of this Facility Lease. On
                  any Rent Payment Date or Additional Rent Payment Date, Basic
                  Lease Rent shall equal the sum of Component A, Component B and
                  Component C payable on such Rent Payment Date or Additional
                  Rent Payment Date and each component is payable as set forth
                  in Annex I to this Schedule 1-1. Anything in the foregoing to
                  the contrary notwithstanding, in accordance with Section
                  3.4(b) of this Facility Lease, each installment of Basic Lease
                  Rent payable under this Facility Lease on any Rent Payment
                  Date or Additional Rent Payment Date, whether or not adjusted
                  in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Facility Lease, shall
                  be in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full principal
                  and interest payable on the Lessor Notes on such Rent Payment
                  Date or Additional Rent Payment Date.

         B.       COMPUTATION OF COMPONENT C. Component C is a variable
                  component intended to reflect a return on Aggregate Component
                  D at a notional interest rate per annum (the "COMPONENT C
                  RATE") that is


                                 Schedule 1-1-1

<PAGE>

                  computed on the basis of market-based indices determined on
                  the Closing Date. Component C, as shown in Column C of Annex I
                  to this Schedule 1-1, has been calculated using an assumed
                  Funding Rate equal to 6.4048% per annum, which is the Funding
                  Rate used to calculate Component C on the Closing Date and
                  assuming that there is no Additional Rent Payment Date. The
                  amount of Component C due on any Rent Payment Date and the
                  amount of Component C payable on any Additional Rent Payment
                  Date shall be adjusted or calculated to reflect the
                  calculation described below. The market-based indices
                  applicable to Component C on the Closing Date are identical to
                  the market-based indices used to compute interest on the
                  Initial Lessor Notes, Aggregate Component D is identical to
                  the assumed outstanding principal amount of the Initial Lessor
                  Notes and the Component C Rate is identical to the Funding
                  Rate under the Initial Lessor Notes. The market-based indices
                  for the Initial Lessor Notes and the Funding Rate for the
                  Initial Lessor Notes are set forth below. For ease of
                  administration and to ensure strict compliance by the Facility
                  Lessee with the provisions of Section 3.4(b) of this Facility
                  Lease and the last sentence of Part A of this Schedule 1-1,
                  the Facility Lessor and the Facility Lessee have agreed that
                  the computation of Component C and the computation of
                  interest on the Initial Lessor Notes shall be a single
                  computation and that Component C on any Rent Payment Date or
                  Additional Rent Payment Date shall be calculated in the same
                  manner as, and shall be adjusted or computed, as the case may
                  be, so that it is equal to, the interest payable on the
                  Initial Lessor Notes on the correlative Interest Payment Date
                  under the Initial Lessor Notes. Each Interest Payment Date
                  under, and as defined in, the Initial Lessor Notes to the
                  extent the same is not a Rent Payment Date shall be an
                  Additional Rent Payment Date under this Facility Lease. As
                  provided in Section 16 of the Participation Agreement, any
                  change in the market-based indices or other factors used for
                  the computation of Component C or used in the computation of
                  interest on the Initial Lessor Notes from those in effect on
                  the Closing Date shall be considered a refinancing
                  contemplated by Section 16 of the Participation Agreement, and
                  accordingly, would be subject to the provisions of Section 16
                  of the Participation Agreement.

         C.       DEFINITIONS. As used in this Schedule 1-1 to this Facility
                  Lease, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned
                  thereto in this Facility Lease. In addition, the following
                  terms shall have the meanings set forth below (such meanings

the applicable Rating Agency. Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply
during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on
the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If
