                              THE CREDIT FACILITIES

SECTION 2.1 Revolving Loan Facility.

      Section 2.1.1 Revolving Loans.

      (a)   Revolving Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof (including without limitation the conditions to extensions of credit set
forth in Article 3), (i) each Lender severally agrees to make, from time to time
during the Loan Availability Period, Revolving Loans to the Borrower in an
amount up to such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment, and (ii) the Borrower may
borrow, repay and reborrow the funds available for Revolving Loans from time to
time during the Loan Availability Period. The aggregate principal amount of all
Revolving Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the difference of (A)
$200,000,000 or, if such amount is reduced pursuant to Section 2.1.10 (Voluntary
Prepayments) or Section 2.1.11 (Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions),
such lower amount (such amount as so reduced from time to time, the "Total Loan
Commitment"), minus (B) the sum of (1) the Aggregate LC Stated Amount then
outstanding plus (2) the aggregate amount of all Reimbursement Obligations then
outstanding. All amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans
shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. Each Lender's Revolving
Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the
Maturity Date.

      (b)   Borrowing Mechanics for Revolving Loans. By delivering a Notice of
Borrowing to the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on a Business Day, an Officer of the Borrower may from time to time
irrevocably request, on not less than three Business Days, in the case of LIBOR
Rate Loans, or one Business Day in the case of Base Rate Loans, nor more than
five Business Days' notice, that a Revolving Loan be made in a minimum amount of
$2,000,000 or in the unused amount of the Total Loan Commitment. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the information in each of the
Borrower's Notices of Borrowing to each Lender. On the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement (including the conditions precedent specified in
Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Closing) or Section 3.2 (Conditions
Precedent to each Revolving Loan), as applicable), each Revolving Loan shall be
comprised of the Types of Loans, and shall be made by each Lender on the
Business Day, specified in such Notice of Borrowing. On or before 12:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing,
each Lender shall deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such
Lender's applicable Pro Rata Share of the requested Revolving Loan. Such deposit
will be made by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars to an account which
the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the
Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the applicable Lenders, the
Administrative

                                       50
<PAGE>

Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to one or
more accounts as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by
the Borrower.

      Section 2.1.2 Amount of Revolving Loans; Availability of Funds.

      (a)   Amount of Revolving Loans. All Revolving Loans shall be made by the
Lenders simultaneously in proportion to their respective Revolving Loan
Commitments, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any
default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a
Revolving Loan hereunder nor shall any Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender
be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such
other Lender's obligation to make a Revolving Loan hereunder.

      (b)   Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by any Lender prior to a Credit Event Date that such Lender does
not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such
Lender's Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made and will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such
Credit Event Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount
on such Credit Event Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such
Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Event Date
until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary
rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks
for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not
pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the Closing Date until
the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable
hereunder for Revolving Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.1.2(b) shall be deemed
to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Loan
Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

      Section 2.1.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be
applied by the Borrower only (a) to finance the development, construction or
purchase of or by, or repairs, improvements or additions to, property or assets
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary that is a Holding
Company) or (b) to pay interest on the Term Loans and the Notes. The proceeds of
Revolving Loans may also be applied by the Borrower to repay Reimbursement
Obligations under a Letter of Credit; provided that such Letter of Credit
financed the development, construction or purchase of or by, or repairs,
improvements or additions to, property or assets of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary that is a Holding Company). No portion of
the proceeds of any Revolving Loan shall be used (nor shall any Letter of Credit
be used) in any manner that causes or might cause the funding of the Revolving
Loans or the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the application of such proceeds
to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X or any other regulation of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange
Act.

      Section 2.1.4 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders' Books and Records;
Notes.

      (a)   Lenders' Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its
internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Revolving Loans made by it
and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall
be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that
the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation,
shall not affect the Borrower's Obligations in respect of any Revolving Loan;
and provided further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the
Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall
govern.

      (b)   Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Principal
Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders
and the Revolving Loans and Participation Interests of each Lender from time to
time (the "Register"). The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register
the Revolving Loans, the Participation Interests, each issuance, cancellation,
drawing or termination of any Letter of Credit, each repayment or prepayment in
respect of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Total Loan
Commitment and each Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment, and any such recordation
shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest
error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in
such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's Obligations in respect of any
Revolving Loan. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve
as the Borrower's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as
provided in this Section 2.1.4, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the
extent the Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, the Administrative
Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall
constitute "Indemnitees" under Section 12.3 (Indemnity).

      (c)   Revolving Loan Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written
notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at any time,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and
if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender
pursuant to Section 12.6 (Successors and Assigns; Participations)) on the
Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly
after the Borrower's receipt of such notice), a Revolving Loan Note payable to
such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender's commitment to
fund Revolving Loans.

      Section 2.1.5 Interest.

      (a)   Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Revolving Loans shall bear
interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through
repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

            (i)   if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus 2.50% per annum; or

            (ii)  if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus 3.50%
      per annum.

                                       52
<PAGE>

      (b)   The Type of Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR
Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or
Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Revolving Loan is
outstanding with respect to which a Notice of Borrowing or Continuation Notice
has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms
hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest,
then for that day such Revolving Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

      (c)   In connection with LIBOR Rate Loans there shall be no more than five
Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event that the Borrower fails
to specify the Type of Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or
Continuation Notice, such Revolving Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan)
will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the
then-current Interest Period for such Revolving Loan (or if outstanding as a
Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a
Base Rate Loan). In the event that the Borrower fails to specify an Interest
Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or
Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to
the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the
applicable Interest Period and, upon the request of the Borrower, shall promptly
give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the
Borrower and each Lender.

      (d)   Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.1.5(a) shall be computed (i)
in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the
case may be, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day
year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during
which it accrues. In computing interest on any Revolving Loan, the date of the
making of such Revolving Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable
to such Revolving Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from
a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loan to such Base
Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of
such Revolving Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to
such Revolving Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a
LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR
Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Revolving Loan
is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid
on that Revolving Loan.

      (e)   Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Revolving
Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable
to that Revolving Loan.

      Section 2.1.6 Continuation Notice.

      (a)   Subject to Section 2.1.15 (Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy) and so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be
continuing, the Borrower shall have the option:

                                       53
<PAGE>

            (i)   to convert at any time all or any part of any Revolving Loan
      equal to $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that
      amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a LIBOR
      Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period
      applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan unless the Borrower shall pay all
      amounts due under Section 2.1.14 (Making or Maintaining Revolving Loans)
      in connection with any such conversion; or

            (ii)  upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any
      LIBOR Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Revolving Loan
      equal to $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that
      amount as a LIBOR Rate Loan.

      (b)   The Borrower shall deliver a Continuation Notice to the
Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one
Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a
conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of
the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a
continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a
Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date,
and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in
accordance therewith. In the event that the Borrower shall have failed to
provide a Continuation Notice as required by this Section 2.1.6(b) to continue
any LIBOR Rate Loan into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise
have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.1.6(b) to convert such LIBOR
Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan), then such LIBOR Rate Loan shall, at the end of
the applicable Interest Period, automatically be converted into a Base Rate
Loan.

      (c)   Any Continuation Notice shall be executed by an Officer of the
Borrower in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent. In lieu of
delivering a written notice, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent
telephonic notice by the required time of any continuation; provided each such
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of the applicable
Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the applicable date
of continuation. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any
liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above
that the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a
duly authorized officer or other Person authorized on behalf of the Borrower or
otherwise acting in good faith.

      Section 2.1.7 Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and, to the extent
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any accrued but unpaid interest
payments thereon and any accrued but unpaid fees and other amounts hereunder,
shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under applicable Bankruptcy Laws) payable upon demand at a rate that
is (a) 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under
this Agreement with respect to the applicable Revolving Loans or (b) in the case
of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of
the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate
Loans (the "Default Rate"); provided that if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing on the expiration date of the Interest Period for any LIBOR
Rate Loans, then such LIBOR Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans
and shall thereafter bear interest

                                       54
<PAGE>

payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest
rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Payment or
acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.1.7
is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or
remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

      Section 2.1.8 Fees.

      (a)   Fee Letter. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Agent and each
applicable Lender the fees in the amounts and at the times set forth herein and
any other fees as separately agreed upon by the Borrower and such Agent or such
Lender (as applicable) in writing.

      (b)   Revolving Loan Commitment Fees. On the last Business Day in each
calendar quarter (where all or any portion of such calendar quarter occurs on or
after the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date) and on the Maturity Date
(or, if the Total Loan Commitment is canceled prior to such date, on the date of
such cancellation), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, accruing from the Closing Date or the first day of such
quarter, as the case may be, a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") for such
quarter (or portion thereof) then ending equal to the product of (a) 0.75% times
(b) the daily average Available Loan Commitment for such quarter (or portion
thereof) times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in
such quarter (or portion thereof) and the denominator of which is the number of
days in that calendar year (365 or 366, as the case may be).

      Section 2.1.9 Payments. The principal amounts of the Revolving Loans
(reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the
Revolving Loans, in accordance with Sections 2.1.10 (Voluntary Prepayments),
2.1.11 (Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions) and Section 5.7 (Asset
Sales; Application of Net Proceeds), as applicable) shall be repaid from time to
time in the discretion of the Borrower, but in any event in full on the Maturity
Date.

      Section 2.1.10 Voluntary Prepayments; Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

      (a)   The Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium or penalty)
Revolving Loans on any Business Day, in whole or in part, in an aggregate
minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 (or the
remaining amount outstanding) in excess of that amount.

      (b)   All such prepayments shall be made:

            (i)   upon not less than one Business Day's prior written, email or
      telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans; and

            (ii)  upon not less than three Business Days' prior written, email
      or telephonic notice in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans;

in each case given to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing
to the Administrative Agent (and

                                       55
<PAGE>

the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original
notice, by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any
such notice, the principal amount of the Revolving Loans specified in such
notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein.
Any prepayment of any Revolving Loan pursuant to this Section shall be applied
in inverse order of maturities and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.1.12
(General Provisions Regarding Payments).

      (c)   The Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days' prior
written notice to Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time
terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty,
the Total Loan Commitment; provided that any such partial reduction of the Total
Loan Commitment shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and
integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. The Borrower's notice
to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business
Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction,
and such termination or reduction of the Total Loan Commitment shall be
effective on the date specified in the Borrower's notice and shall reduce the
Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may not terminate
in whole or permanently reduce in part the Total Loan Commitment if, after
giving effect to any such termination or reduction, such termination or
reduction would result in the aggregate amount of the Total Loan Commitment
being at such time less than the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Revolving Loans at such time and (ii) the Aggregate Stated LC Amount
and all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations at such time. Together with the
delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of its notice of intent to
terminate or reduce the Total Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate certifying to the foregoing.

      Section 2.1.11 Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions. The
Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans with the Net Proceeds of an Asset
Sale, Casualty Event or Condemnation Event as and to the extent required by
Section 5.7(c). Each such prepayment shall be made on a pro rota basis with the
First Priority Term Loans and the First Priority Notes. The Total Loan
Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of each such prepayment,
and each Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment shall be correspondingly reduced in
proportion to its Pro Rata Share (provided, if after giving effect to any such
reduction, the Total Loan Commitment is less than the sum of (i) the aggregate
principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at such time and (ii) the
aggregate Stated LC Amount and Reimbursement Obligations at such time, then the
Borrower shall immediately prepay such Revolving Loans and cash collateralize
(pursuant to a cash collateral agreement in form and substance reasonable
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) such Letters of Credit or
Reimbursement Obligations to the extent necessary to cause the Total Loan
Commitment to be equal to or greater than the amounts specified in clauses (i)
and (ii) above).

      Section 2.1.12 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

      (a)   All payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor of principal,
interest, fees and other Revolving Loan Obligations shall be made in Dollars in
same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction
or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the date due at the Administrative

                                       56
<PAGE>

Agent's Principal Office for the account of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders, as the case may be. Funds received by the Administrative Agent after
that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower or
the applicable Guarantor on the next succeeding Business Day.

      (b)   All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Revolving
Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being
repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in
respect of any Revolving Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with
respect to such Revolving Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest
before application to principal.

      (c)   The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at
such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender's applicable
Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due
hereunder together with all other amounts due thereon, including all fees
payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative
Agent.

      (d)   Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due
on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next
succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the
computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

      (e)   The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge
the Borrower's accounts (if any) with the Administrative Agent in order to cause
timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal,
interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (to the extent there are funds
available in its accounts for that purpose) upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default in respect of its payment obligations
hereunder.

      (f)   The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of
the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the date therefor to be a non-conforming payment. Any
such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative
Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and
(ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give
prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed
in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may
constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms
of Section 7.1 (Events of Default). Interest shall continue to accrue on any
principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become
available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such
payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined
pursuant to Section 2.1.7 (Default Interest) from the date such amount was due
and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

      Section 2.1.13 Ratable Sharing. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves
that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary
prepayment of Revolving Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms
hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the
Revolving Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit
treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Law, receive payment or
reduction of a proportion of the

                                       57
<PAGE>

aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and
owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Revolving Loan Documents
(collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Due" to such Lender) which is greater than
the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts
Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater
payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the
receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase
participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each Lender that
is deemed to be the seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by
such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the
other Lenders, so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be
shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to each of
them, respectively; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater
payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such
Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, the
foregoing purchases of participations shall be rescinded and the purchase prices
paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender(s)
ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower
expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a
participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien,
set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower
to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the
amount of the participation held by that holder.

      Section 2.1.14 Making or Maintaining Revolving Loans.

      (a)   Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that
the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error),
on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Revolving Loans,
that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate
and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to
such Revolving Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted
LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by
telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each
Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Revolving Loans may be made or
maintained with an interest rate based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, and instead
will be made and maintained with an interest rate equal to the Base Rate plus
2.50% per annum, until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Continuation Notice given by the
Borrower with respect to the Revolving Loans in respect of which such
determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower.

      (b)   Illegality or Impracticability of using the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. In
the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be
made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)
that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Revolving Loans with an
interest rate based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (i) has become unlawful as a
result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Legal Requirement or
would conflict with any treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or
order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith
would not be unlawful, or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of
contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and

                                       58
<PAGE>

adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in
that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an "Affected
Lender" and on that day it shall give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such
determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each other Lender). Thereafter (A) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make
or maintain Revolving Loans with an interest rate based on the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected
Lender, (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a
Revolving Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing or a Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such
Revolving Loan as (or continue such Revolving Loan as) a Revolving Loan with an
interest rate equal to the Base Rate plus 2.50% annum, (C) the Affected Lender's
obligation to maintain its outstanding Revolving Loans with an interest rate
based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (the "Affected Loans") shall be terminated at
the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect
with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (D) the Affected
Loans shall automatically convert into Revolving Loans with an interest rate
equal to the Base Rate plus 2.50% per annum on the date of such termination.
Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this
Section 2.1.14(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an
Affected Lender to make or maintain Revolving Loans with an interest rate based
on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate in accordance with the terms hereof.

      (c)   Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.
The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender
(which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all
reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such
Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Revolving Loans
and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with
the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated
profits (such anticipated profits being the 3.50% spread over the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate) which such Lender may sustain within an Interest Period: (i) if any
prepayment or other principal payment of any of its Revolving Loans occurs on a
date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Revolving
Loan (including pursuant to Section 2.1.10 (Voluntary Prepayments), 2.1.11
(Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions) and 5.7 (Asset Sales;
Application of Net Proceeds)); (ii) if any prepayment of any of its Revolving
Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the
Borrower; or (iii) if the Borrower revokes any Notice of Borrowing submitted
pursuant to Section 2.1.2(b) above after a date which is after the applicable
minimum periods for the submission of such Notice of Borrower specified in
Section 2.1.2(b) above.

      (d)   Booking of Revolving Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer
Revolving Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the
office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

      (e)   Assumptions Concerning Funding of Revolving Loans. Calculation of
all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.1.14 and under Section
2.1.15 (Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy) shall be made as though such Lender
had actually funded each of its relevant Revolving Loans through the purchase of
a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (b) of
the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such
Revolving Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest

                                       59
<PAGE>

Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of
such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America;
provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Revolving Loans in any
manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the
purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.1.14 and under
Section 2.1.15 (Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy).

      Section 2.1.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

      (a)   Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.1.16 (Taxes; Withholding, etc.) (which shall be
controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any
Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Legal
Requirement, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof (including the introduction of any new Legal Requirement),
or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that
becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any
guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any
central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or
not having the force of law):

            (i)   imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including
      any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special
      deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against
      assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
      or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other
      acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such
      reserve or other requirements with respect to any Revolving Loans that are
      reflected in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate); or

            (ii)  imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax
      matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or
      its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
agreeing to make, making or maintaining Revolving Loans hereunder or to reduce
any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending
office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall
promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the
next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased
rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such
Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate
such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or
receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender
under this Section 2.1.15(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

      (b)   Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have
determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the
Closing Date of any Legal Requirement (or any provision thereof) regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central

                                       60
<PAGE>

bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any
guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Revolving Loans, or
participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the
Revolving Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in,
applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of
such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy),
then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower
from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate
such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such
reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this
Section 2.1.15(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto absent manifest error.

      Section 2.1.16 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

      (a)   Payments to Be Free and Clear. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 2.1.16, all sums payable by or on behalf of any Obligor hereunder and
under the other Revolving Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by
any applicable Legal Requirement) be paid free and clear of, and without any
deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by or within the U.S. or any political subdivision in or of
the U.S. or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on
behalf of any Obligor.

      (b)   Withholding of Taxes. If any Obligor or any other Person is required
by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any
sum paid or payable by or on behalf of any Obligor to the any Agent or any
Lender under any of the Revolving Loan Documents:

            (i)   the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such
      requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as the Borrower
      becomes aware of it;

            (ii)  the Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which
      penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay
      is imposed on any Obligor) for its own account or (if that liability is
      imposed on such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and
      in the name of such Agent or such Lender;

            (iii) the sum payable by such Obligor in respect of which the
      relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased
      to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of all
      deductions, withholding or payments for or with respect to Taxes, such
      Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date

                                       61
<PAGE>

      a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction,
      withholding or payment been required or made; and

            (iv)  within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required
      by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the
      due date of payment of any tax which it is required by clause (ii) above
      to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence
      satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding
      or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other
      authority;

provided that no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any
Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change after the
date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on
the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement
pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender)
in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned
therein shall result in either the imposition of deduction, withholding or
payment or an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment
from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment
Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender.

      (c)   Other Taxes. The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, and
shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.1.16(b)(iv) with respect to such
payments.

      (d)   Indemnification. Subject to the requirements of Section 2.1.16(e),
the Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender for the full amount of
Taxes (to the extent the Borrower would be required to pay additional amounts
with respect to such Taxes pursuant to Section 2.1.16(b)) or Other Taxes arising
in connection with payments made under any of the Revolving Loan Documents
(including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 2.1.16) paid by such Agent or Lender and any
penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses arising from or with respect
to such Taxes or Other Taxes, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made
within 10 days from the date any Agent or any Lender makes written demand
therefor.

      (e)   Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is
not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or
prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature
pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment
Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other
Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion):

            (i)   two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
      W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by
      such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and
      reasonably requested by the Borrower to establish that such Lender is not
      subject to deduction or withholding of

                                       62
<PAGE>

      United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such
      Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of
      the Revolving Loan Documents or is subject to such deduction or
      withholding at a reduced rate; or

            (ii)  if such Lender is not a "bank" or other Person described in
      Section 881(c)(3) of the Code and is claiming exemption from U.S. federal
      withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to
      payments of "portfolio interest", a Certificate Re Non-Bank Status
      together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or
      any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender,
      and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably
      requested by the Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to
      deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect
      to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the
      Revolving Loan Documents.

Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with
respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this
Section 2.1.16(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by
such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in
time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other
evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall
promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower
two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a
Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by
such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably
requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not
subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with
respect to payments to such Lender under the Revolving Loan Documents or is
subject to such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such
forms, certificates or other evidence. The Borrower shall not be required to pay
any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Lender under Section 2.1.16(b)(iii) or to
indemnify the Non-U.S. Lender under Section 2.1.16(d) if such Lender shall have
failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in
the second sentence of this Section 2.1.16(e), or (2) to notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such
forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such
Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this
Section 2.1.16(e) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement
pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last
sentence of this Section 2.1.16(e) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation
to pay any additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.1.16(b) or to indemnify the
Non-U.S. Lender under Section 2.1.16(d) in the event that, as a result of any
change in any applicable Legal Requirement, or any change in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly
entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date
establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as
described herein. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the form provided by
a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement
indicates a U.S. withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such
rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes.

                                       63

      Section 2.1.17 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:

      (a)   (i) any Lender (an "Increased-Cost Lender") shall give notice to the
Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled
to receive payments under Section 2.1.14 (Making or Maintaining Revolving
Loans), 2.1.15 (Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy) or 2.1.16 (Taxes;
Withholding, etc), (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an
Increased-Cost Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments
shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice
within five Business Days after the Borrower's request for such withdrawal; or

      (b)   in connection with any proposed amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as
contemplated by Section 12.5(b) (Amendments and Waivers), the consent of
Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of
such other Lenders (each a "Non-Consenting Lender") whose consent is required
shall not have been obtained;

then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender or Non-Consenting Lender
(the "Terminated Lender"), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the
Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect
to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably
agrees) to assign its outstanding Revolving Loans and its Participation
Interests in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a "Replacement
Lender") in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6 (Successors and
Assigns; Participations) and the Borrower shall pay any fees payable thereunder
in connection with such assignment; provided,

            (i)   on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall
      pay to such Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount
      equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding
      Revolving Loans and Participation Interests of the Terminated Lender, and
      (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to
      such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.1.8 (Fees);

            (ii)  on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any
      amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.1.14(c)
      (Making or Maintaining Revolving Loans), 2.1.15 (Increased Costs; Capital
      Adequacy) or 2.1.16 (Taxes; Withholding, etc.); provided that no premium
      on such amounts shall be required to be paid; and

            (iii) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting
      Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such
      assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was
      a Non-Consenting Lender.

Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such
Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" under any of the
Revolving Loan Documents; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to
indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

SECTION 2.2 Letter of Credit Facilities.

<PAGE>

      Section 2.2.1 Issuance of the Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3.3), the LC Bank shall, during the Loan Availability Period,
on each Business Day specified in a Notice of LC Activity described in Section
2.2.3, issue, extend or increase the Stated Amount (as applicable), for the
account of the Borrower, of the Letter(s) of Credit to which such Notice of LC
Activity relates, and shall deliver each such Letter of Credit (or a notice of
extension or increase in the Stated Amount thereof) to the Borrower for ultimate
delivery to the applicable LC Beneficiary, or directly to the applicable LC
Beneficiary, as requested by the Borrower. Subject to Section 2.2.6(b), the LC
Bank shall not modify the conditions for draws or terms of availability for any
Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder without the Borrower's prior
written consent.

      Section 2.2.2 Use of Letters of Credit. The LC Bank shall, subject to the
terms and conditions of the Agreement, at the request and for the account of the
Borrower, make Letter(s) of Credit available to the Borrower and/or its
Affiliates solely to enable the Borrower or such Affiliates (as applicable) to
provide security for their respective obligations under Project Documents (other
than Project Documents that evidence "Indebtedness" as such time is defined in
Calpine's senior indentures). No Letter of Credit shall be issued, renewed,
replaced or extended by the LC Bank until such time (or a reasonable period
before such time) as required under the Project Document pursuant to which such
Letter of Credit is being issued. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit
shall be on or prior to the scheduled Maturity Date.

      Section 2.2.3 Notice of LC Activity. The Borrower shall request the
issuance, extension or increase in the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit by
delivering to the Administrative Agent and the LC Bank an irrevocable written
notice in the form of Exhibit H, appropriately completed (a "Notice of LC
Activity"), which specifies, among other things:

            (a)   The particulars of the Letter of Credit to be issued or the
      Letter of Credit to be extended or the Stated Amount of which is to be
      increased;

            (b)   The Borrower (or its Affiliates) and the Facility to which
      such Letter of Credit relates;,

            (c)   The issue date and expiration date of the Letter of Credit to
      be issued or extended (neither of which shall in any event be later than
      the scheduled Maturity Date); and

            (d)   The Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the
      sum of (i) such Stated Amount plus (ii) the Aggregate LC Stated Amount
      plus (iii) all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, shall not exceed the
      amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Total Loan Commitment at
      such time over (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans
      then outstanding plus the Aggregate LC Stated Amount and all outstanding
      Reimbursement Obligations at such time.

The Borrower shall give the Notice of LC Activity to the Administrative Agent
and the LC Bank at least five Business Days before the requested date of
issuance of any Letter of Credit, or of any

                                       65
<PAGE>

extension or increase in the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Notice
of LC Activity, once given by Borrower, may not be modified or revoked without
the prior consent of the LC Bank.

      Section 2.2.4 Reimbursement. The LC Bank shall notify the Borrower of any
Drawing Payment under any Letter of Credit within one Business Day after the
date that such Drawing Payment is made (the date such Drawing Payment is made,
the "Drawing Date"): Provided, However, that the LC Bank's failure to provide
such notification shall not relieve Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation (it
being understood, however, that the LC Bank shall not be excused from any
liability it may have to the Borrower as a result of such failure to provide the
required notice). No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth
Business Day after the Drawing Date, the Borrower shall make or cause to be made
to the LC Bank a Reimbursement Payment in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the
full amount of such Drawing Payment and (b) interest thereon for each day or
portion thereof until such Reimbursement Payment is made at a rate equal to (i)
from the Drawing Date through the fifth Business Day following the Drawing Date,
the interest rate that would be applicable to a one-month LIBOR Rate Loan made
on the Drawing Date and (ii) thereafter, the Default Rate; provided, however,
that such Reimbursement Payment shall be for the benefit of each Lender (in
proportion to its Pro Rata Share) to the extent that, prior to the time such
Reimbursement Payment is made, such Lender has, pursuant to Section 2.2.7, paid
the LC Bank its respective Pro Rata Share of the Drawing Payment made by the LC
Bank. If a Reimbursement Payment is made in the full amount of such Drawing
Payment by 3:00 p.m. on the applicable Drawing Date, no interest shall be
payable on such Drawing Payment.

      Section 2.2.5 Reimbursement Obligation Absolute. The Reimbursement
Obligation of the Borrower for each Drawing Payment shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under and without regard to any circumstances,
including, (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Revolving Loan
Documents or Project Documents, (b) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from all or any terms of any of the Revolving Loan Documents or
Project Documents, (c) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other
right which the Borrower may have at any time against any LC Beneficiary or any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such LC
Beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated herein, any Revolving Loan Document, or in the Project
Documents, or in any unrelated transaction, (d) any breach of contract or
dispute among or between the Borrower, the LC Bank, the Administrative Agent,
any Lender, or any other Person, (e) any demand, statement, certificate, draft
or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (f) payment by the LC Bank under any
Letter of Credit against presentation of any demand, statement, certificate,
draft or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit, (g) any non-application or misapplication by an LC Beneficiary of the
proceeds of any Drawing Payment under a Letter of Credit or any other act or
omission of an LC Beneficiary in connection with a Letter of Credit, (h) any
extension of time for or delay, renewal or compromise of or other indulgence or
modification to the Drawing Payment granted or agreed to by the LC Bank, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, with or without notice to or approval by the
Borrower, (i) any failure to preserve or protect any Collateral, any failure to
perfect or preserve the perfection of any Lien

                                       66
<PAGE>

thereon, or the release of any of the Collateral securing the performance or
observance of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Revolving Loan
Documents or any of the Project Documents, or (j) any other circumstances or
happenings whatsoever relating to the Borrower, such Reimbursement Obligation or
any Facility, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including the
failure of the Borrower to occupy or use any Facility in the manner contemplated
by the Revolving Loan Documents or Project Documents or otherwise, any defect in
title, design, operation, merchantability, fitness or condition of any Facility
or in the suitability of any Facility for the Borrower's purposes or needs, any
failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to any Facility, any
commercial frustration of purpose, the taking by condemnation of title to or the
use of all or any part of any Facility, any Regulatory Change, any failure of an
LC Beneficiary or any other Person to perform or observe any agreement, whether
express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or in
connection with the Revolving Loan Documents or the Project Documents to which
each is a party; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.2.5 shall
relieve the LC Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender from liability for
its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this
Agreement.

      Section 2.2.6 Reduction and Reinstatement of Stated Amount.

      (a)   The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be reduced by the
amount of Drawing Payments made in respect thereof. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 2.2, once so reduced, the Stated Amount
of any Letter of Credit shall not be reinstated except (i) upon the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank and the Requisite
Lenders or (ii) upon payment by Borrower of the Reimbursement Obligation
corresponding to such Drawing Payment and satisfaction of the conditions for an
increase in the Stated Amount of a Letter of Credit set forth in Section 2.2.3
and Article 3.

      (b)   Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default under Section 7.1(k) or at such time as, pursuant to the terms hereof,
the Revolving Loan Obligations have been accelerated, the Administrative Agent
(acting at the direction of the LC Bank or the Requisite Lenders) shall be
entitled to cancel all outstanding Letters of Credit any time at least 30 days
after delivery to the LC Beneficiary of each Letter of Credit that will be
canceled a written notice of such intent to cancel, whereupon the LC Beneficiary
shall be entitled to draw upon the applicable Letter of Credit in accordance
with its terms.

      Section 2.2.7 Lender Participation. Each Lender severally agrees to
participate with the LC Bank in the extension of credit arising from the
issuance of the Letters of Credit (each a "Participation Interest") in an amount
equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Stated Amount of each Letter of
Credit, and the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a confirmation to
the LC Bank of such participation in such amount. After written notification by
the LC Bank to the Administrative Agent at any time after the LC Bank has
received notice of or request for any Drawing Payment, the Administrative Agent
may request the Lenders to pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the LC
Bank their respective Pro Rata Shares of all or any portion of such Drawing
Payment made or to be made by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit by
contacting each Lender telephonically (promptly confirmed in writing), and
specifying the amount of such Drawing Payment (as set forth in the LC Bank's
written notification of the Administrative Agent of the same), such Lender's Pro
Rata Share thereof, and the date on which

                                       67
<PAGE>

such Drawing Payment is to be made or was made (as set forth in the LC Bank's
written notification of the Administrative Agent of the same); provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent shall not request the Lenders to make any
payment under this Section 2.2.7 in connection with any portion of a Drawing
Payment for which the LC Bank has been reimbursed through a Reimbursement
Payment by the Borrower (unless such Reimbursement Payment has been thereafter
recovered by the Borrower). Upon receipt of any such request for payment from
the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed portion of such Drawing Payment,
together with interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, as in effect from time to time, from the date of such Drawing
Payment to the date on which such Lender makes payment, and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly thereafter pay to the LC Bank all amounts so received. Each
Lender's obligation to make each such payment to the Administrative Agent shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence or continuance of any Default
or Event of Default, or the failure of any other Lender to make any payment
under this Section 2.2.7, and each Lender further agrees that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. If any Reimbursement Payment is made to Administrative Agent or the
LC Bank, the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank, as applicable, shall pay to
each Lender which has paid its Pro Rata Share of the Drawing Payment such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Reimbursement Payment and shall, in the case of
the Administrative Agent, pay to the LC Bank and, in the case of the LC Bank,
retain, the balance of such Reimbursement Payment.

      Section 2.2.8 Commercial Practices. The Borrower assumes all risks of the
acts or omissions of any LC Beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit
with respect to the use of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that
neither the LC Bank, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender (nor any of their
respective directors, officers or employees) shall be liable or responsible for:
(a) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or
omissions of any LC Beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) any
reference which may be made to this Agreement or to any Letter of Credit in any
agreements, instruments or other documents; (c) the validity, sufficiency or
genuineness of documents other than the Letters of Credit, or of any
endorsement(s) thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any
or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged or any statement
therein prove to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (d) payment
by the LC Bank against presentation of documents which do not strictly comply
with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, including failure of any
documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit;
or (e) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment
under any Letter of Credit, except only that the LC Bank shall be liable to the
Borrower for acts or events described in clauses (a) through (e) above, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct damages, as opposed to indirect,
special or consequential damages, suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower
proves were caused by (i) the LC Bank's bad faith, willful misconduct or gross
negligence in determining whether a drawing made under the applicable Letter of
Credit complies with the terms and conditions therefor stated in such Letter of
Credit or (ii) the LC Bank's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit
after a drawing by the respective LC Beneficiary strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit. Without limiting the
foregoing, the LC Bank may accept any document that appears on its face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation. The Borrower hereby
waives any right to object to any payment made under a Letter of Credit with
regard to a

                                       68
<PAGE>

drawing that is in the form provided in such Letter of Credit but which varies
with respect to punctuation (except punctuation with respect to any Dollar
amount specified therein), capitalization, spelling or similar matters of form.

      Section 2.2.9 Letter of Credit Fees. On the last Business Day in each
calendar quarter commencing on or after the Closing Date and through the
Maturity Date, on the Expiration Date of each Letter of Credit and on the
Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders, accruing from the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit, a Letter of Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for such quarter (or
portion thereof in the case of payment on the Expiration Date of a Letter of
Credit or on the Maturity Date) then ending at the rates per annum described
below and computed in the following manner: The Letter of Credit Fee in respect
of each Letter of Credit shall be equal to the product of (i) 3.50%, times (ii)
the daily average Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit for such quarter
(or portion thereof in the case of payment on the Expiration Date of a Letter of
Credit or on the Maturity Date) times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of days in such quarter (or portion thereof in the case of payment
on the Expiration Date of a Letter of Credit or on the Maturity Date) and the
denominator of which is 360.

      Section 2.2.10 Termination of Letters of Credit. Unless terminated earlier
in accordance with its terms, or extended pursuant to Section 2.2.3 (Notice of
LC Activity), each Letter of Credit shall terminate on the earlier to occur of
(a) 12:01 a.m., on the Expiration Date stated therein (which shall be no later
than the earlier of the Maturity Date and 15 days following the scheduled
expiration of the letter of credit obligations under the Project Document in
connection with which such Letter of Credit is to be issued) and (b)
cancellation of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.2.6(b) (Reduction
and Reinstatement of Stated Amount).

has established reserves that are adequate for the payment thereof in
conformity with GAAP.

deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other material agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound.

indirectly, to the Borrower by way of dividends, advances, repayments of loans
or advances, reimbursements of management and other intercompany charges,
expenses and accruals or other returns on investments, or restricts in any
material respect the ability of any such Subsidiary to make any payment,

absolute, fixed or contingent), as they become absolute and matured,

                                       83

carry on its business as proposed to be conducted.

SECTION 4.24 Other Indebtedness. As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower
nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is incurring obligations or making transfers
under any evidence of indebtedness with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any entity to which it is or will become indebted.

            most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
            financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on
            which the Expansion Debt is incurred would have been at least 2.0 to
            1.0, determined on a Pro Forma basis as if the Expansion Debt had
            been incurred at the beginning of such period and the proceeds
            therefrom had been applied as intended to be applied (but without
            giving effect to the completion of any construction projects unless
            actual completion has been achieved), at least 25% of the cost of
            such Expansion Assets is financed with Equity Contributions or the
            proceeds of Perpetual Preferred Stock or Affiliate Subordinated
            Indebtedness;

                  (C)   if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Borrower's
            most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
            financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on
            which the Expansion Debt is incurred would have been less than 2.0
            to 1.0, determined on a Pro Forma basis as if the Expansion Debt had
            been incurred at the beginning of such period and the proceeds
            therefrom had been applied as intended to be applied (but without
            giving effect to the completion of any construction projects unless
            actual completion has been achieved);

                        (1)   at least 40% of the cost of such Expansion Assets
                  is financed with Equity Contributions or the proceeds of
                  Perpetual Preferred Stock or Affiliate Subordinated
                  Indebtedness; and

                        (2)   after giving effect to such incurrence, the amount
                  of Expansion Debt incurred pursuant to this clause (iii),
                  together with the aggregate amount of all other Expansion Debt
                  then outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing
                  Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace,

                  this clause (iii), does not exceed $250,000,000;

            (iv)  the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
      Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of
      which are used to refund, refinance or replace, Indebtedness (other than
      intercompany Indebtedness) that

                                       91
<PAGE>

      was permitted by this Agreement to be incurred under clauses (ii), (iii),
      (iv) or (x) of this Section 5.6(b);

            (v)   the incurrence by the Borrower or any Guarantor of
      intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Borrower and any Guarantors
      that is subordinated in right of payment to all Secured Obligations on the
      terms set forth on Exhibit A hereto and is not secured other than by
      unperfected security interests; provided, however, that (A) any subsequent
      issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such
      Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Borrower or a Guarantor
      and (B) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person
      that is not either the Borrower or a Guarantor will be deemed, in each
      case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or
      such Guarantor, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause
      (v); and provided, further, that any such intercompany Indebtedness must
      be included in the Collateral;

            (vi)  the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
      Hedging Obligations, in connection with Permitted Debt or otherwise, in
      the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;
      provided, that (A) such Hedging Obligations will have tenors that expire
      on or prior to the maturity date (or other expiration) of the underlying
      Obligation being hedged, and (B) any such Hedging Obligations hedging or
      managing interest rate risk with respect to a particular series of Notes
      or loans under the Term Loan Agreements or this Agreement will have tenors
      that expire on or prior to the Stated Maturity of the applicable Notes or
      loans;

            (vii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
      Indebtedness in respect of workers' compensation claims, self-insurance
      obligations, bankers' acceptances, and performance and surety bonds in the
      ordinary course of business;

            (viii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
      Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial
      institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn
      against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within
      five Business Days;

            (ix)  the incurrence by the Borrower of (a) Affiliate Subordinated
      Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250,000,000
      at any one time outstanding and (b) Working Capital Facility Indebtedness
      in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $750,000,000 at any one
      time outstanding; and

            (x)   the incurrence by the Borrower of Third Party Subordinated
      Indebtedness; provided, that:

                  (A)   the Net Proceeds of the Third Party Subordinated
            Indebtedness are applied:

                        (1)   to acquire all or substantially all of the assets
                  of, or any Equity Interests in, a business that constitutes a
                  Permitted Business, provided, that in the case of an
                  acquisition of Equity Interests, the business

                                       92
<PAGE>

                  is or becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower and a Guarantor
                  concurrently with such acquisition;

                        (2)   to make a capital expenditure;

                        (3)   to acquire other assets that are not classified as
                  current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a
                  Permitted Business; or

                        (4)   any combination of the foregoing; and

                  (B)   the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Borrower's most
            recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
            financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on
            which the Third Party Subordinated Indebtedness is incurred would
            have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a Pro Forma basis as if
            the Third Party Subordinated Indebtedness had been incurred at the
            beginning of such period and the proceeds therefrom had been applied
            as intended to be applied (but without giving effect to the
            completion of any construction projects unless actual completion has
            been achieved).

      (c)   The Borrower shall not incur, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to
incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or
such Subsidiary unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in
right of payment to the Revolving Loans, the applicable Revolving Loan
Guarantees and the other Revolving Loan Obligations on substantially identical
terms or on terms that are more favorable to the Lenders hereunder; provided,
however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated
in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured
on a junior basis.

      (d)   For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.6, in the
event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one
of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (x) of
Section 5.6(b), the Borrower will be permitted to classify such item of
Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion
of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 5.6.
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue
discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional
Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified
Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock
will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 5.6. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 5.6, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the
Borrower or any Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not be
deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or
currency values.

SECTION 5.7 Asset Sales; Application of Net Proceeds.

      (a)   Asset Sales. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

                                       93
<PAGE>

            (i)   except with respect to an Asset Sale made pursuant to the
      Existing Purchase Option, the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries, as the
      case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least
      equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or
      sold or otherwise disposed of;

            (ii)  at least 90% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale
      by the Borrower or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of
      this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

                  (A)   any liabilities, as shown on the Borrower's most recent
            consolidated balance sheet, of the Borrower or any of its
            Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that
            are by their terms subordinated to the Revolving Loans and the
            Revolving Loan Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any
            such assets pursuant to a customary novation or similar agreement
            that releases the Borrower or such Subsidiary from further
            liability;

                  (B)   any securities, notes or other obligations received by
            the Borrower or any such Subsidiary from such transferee that are
            promptly, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the
            Borrower or such Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash
            received in that conversion; and

                  (C)   in connection with the exercise by a purchaser of an
            Existing Purchase Option, any amount owed by the Borrower or the
            applicable Subsidiary to the purchaser under the agreement
            containing such Existing Purchase Option that is set off by the
            purchaser against the purchase price;

            (iii) if the assets disposed of in such Asset Sale include any
      component of a Facility that is necessary for the operation of such
      Facility, the Asset Sale involves the disposition of such Facility as a
      whole; and

            (iv)  if the Asset Sale involves the sale of a Facility or all or
      substantially all the assets of a Facility, (A) such Asset Sale is to a
      Person other than an Affiliate of the Borrower, and (B) all necessary and
      appropriate amendments are made to those Major Project Documents
      applicable to such Facility to remove such Facility from the scope of such
      Major Project Documents.

      (b)   Application of Net Proceeds from First Asset Sale and Second Asset
Sale. The Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall
apply the Net Proceeds from the first and the second Asset Sale to occur (other
than any Asset Sale relating to the Facility owned or operated by Delta Energy
Center, LLC or Los Medanos Energy Center, LLC, the Net Proceeds of which shall
be applied under Section 5.7(c) below), as follows:

            (i)   to the lenders under the First Priority Term Loan Agreement
      and all holders of First Priority Notes (to the extent required under the
      applicable First Priority Lien Documents), to purchase, prepay or redeem
      the maximum principal amount of such First Priority Lien Obligations that
      may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of such Net Proceeds (taking
      into account any mandatory prepayment or redemption of First Priority Lien
      Obligations required under any First Priority Lien Document);

                                       94
<PAGE>

            (ii)  if any such Net Proceeds remain after the offer (and, if
      applicable, reoffer) to holders of First Priority Lien Obligations (and
      any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of First Priority Lien
      Obligations) in accordance with clause (i) above, to all holders of the
      Second Priority Lien Obligations (to the extent required under the
      applicable Second Priority Lien Documents), to purchase, prepay or redeem
      the maximum principal amount of such Second Priority Lien Obligations that
      may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of such remaining Net Proceeds
      (taking into account any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of
      Second Priority Lien Obligations required under any Second Priority Lien
      Document); and

            (iii) if any such Net Proceeds remain after the offer (and, if
      applicable, reoffer) to holders of Second Priority Lien Obligations (and
      any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of Second Priority Lien
      Obligations) in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, to all holders
      of the Third Priority Lien Obligations (to the extent required under the
      applicable Third Priority Lien Documents), to purchase, prepay or redeem
      the maximum principal amount of such Third Priority Lien Obligations that
      may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of such remaining Net Proceeds
      (taking into account any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of
      Third Priority Lien Obligations required under any Second Third Lien
      Document).

      For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders under this Agreement shall not be
entitled to receive any Net Proceeds under this Section 5.7(b).

      (c)   Application of Other Net Proceeds. Other than the Net Proceeds to be
applied under Section 5.7(b), the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary, as the
case may be) shall apply the Net Proceeds from each Asset Sale, Casualty Event
or Condemnation Event, as follows:

            (i)   to the Lenders under this Agreement and all other holders of
      the First Priority Lien Obligations (to the extent required under the
      applicable First Priority Lien Documents), to purchase, prepay or redeem
      the maximum principal amount of such First Priority Lien Obligations that
      may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of such Net Proceeds (taking
      into account any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of First
      Priority Lien Obligations required under any First Priority Lien
      Document);

            (ii)  if any such Net Proceeds remain after the offer (and, if
      applicable, reoffer) to holders of First Priority Lien Obligations (and
      any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of First Priority Lien
      Obligations) in accordance with clause (i) above, to all holders of the
      Second Priority Lien Obligations (to the extent required under the
      applicable Second Priority Lien Documents), to purchase, prepay or redeem
      the maximum principal amount of such Second Priority Lien Obligations that
      may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of such remaining Net Proceeds
      (taking into account any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of
      Second Priority Lien Obligations required under any Second Priority Lien
      Document); and

            (iii) if any such Net Proceeds remain after the offer (and, if
      applicable, reoffer) to holders of Second Priority Lien Obligations (and
      any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of Second Priority Lien
      Obligations) in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii)

                                       95
<PAGE>

      above, to all holders of the Third Priority Lien Obligations (to the
      extent required under the applicable Third Priority Lien Documents), to
      purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of such Third
      Priority Lien Obligations that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out
      of such remaining Net Proceeds (taking into account any mandatory
      purchase, prepayment or redemption of Third Priority Lien Obligations
      required under any Third Priority Lien Document).

The Borrower is required to and shall prepay the Revolving Loans within 30 days
of the receipt of any such Net Proceeds under this Section 5.7(c), in the order
of priority and in the manner provided for in Section 5.7(c)(i) above and in
Section 2.1.11.

      (d)   Excess Proceeds: Pro Rata Basis. In the event that any Net Proceeds
from an Asset Sale, Casualty Event or Condemnation Event remain after the
Borrower has made the prepayments in accordance with Section 2.1.11 (Mandatory
Repayments and Commitment Reductions) and the Term Loan Agreements and such Net
Proceeds have otherwise been applied in accordance with clause (b) and (c)
above, then the Borrower may use such remaining Net Proceeds for any purpose not
otherwise prohibited by the Financing Documents, including the making of
Restricted Payments. If the aggregate principal amount of all Secured
Obligations having the same priority that are to be prepaid under clauses (b) or
(c) above exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds available therefor, then the
Borrower will repurchase, repay or redeem the Secured Obligations, pro rata
based on the aggregate principal amount of all of such Secured Obligations to be
prepaid.

SECTION 5.8 Transactions with Affiliates.

      (a)   The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter
into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Borrower
(each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

            (i)   the Affiliate Transaction, taken as a whole with all other
      related Affiliate Transactions, is on terms that are no less favorable to
      the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than those that would
      have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such
      Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

            (ii)  the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent (other than
      with respect to a Shared Facilities Arrangement between or among only the
      Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries):

                  (A)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
            related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
            excess of $10,000,000 but less than or equal to $25,000,000, a
            resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officer's
            Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with
            this Section 5.8 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been
            approved by a majority of the Board of Directors; and

                                       96
<PAGE>

                  (B)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
            related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
            excess of $25,000,000, a positive opinion as to the Fair Market
            Value of such Affiliate Transaction issued by an accounting,
            appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

      (b)   The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions
and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 5.8(a):

            (i)   any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer and
      director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into
      by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
      business;

            (ii)  transactions between or among the Borrower and/or any of the
      Guarantors (other than Shared Facilities Arrangements);

            (iii) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the
      Borrower (but not a Subsidiary of the Borrower) solely because the
      Borrower owns, directly or through a Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or
      controls, such Person;

            (iv)  payment of reasonable directors' fees to Persons who are not
      otherwise Affiliates of the Borrower;

            (v)   any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
      Stock) of the Borrower to Affiliates of the Borrower; provided that such
      Equity Interests are included in the Collateral;

            (vi)  Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of this
      Agreement as described in Section 5.4 (Restricted Payments);

            (vii) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of
      business not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time
      outstanding;

            (viii) Permitted Tax Payments;

            (ix)  transactions under or pursuant to written agreements with
      Affiliates of the Borrower in place as of the date of this Agreement or
      any amendment or modification thereto, so long as any such amendment or
      modification meets the requirements of clause (x) or (xi) of this Section
      5.8(b);

            (x)   any amendments or modifications of, or waivers under, any
      written agreement described under clause (ix) of this 5.8(b) that is not a
      Major Project Document; provided that no such amendment, modification or
      waiver alters any such agreement in a manner than is materially adverse to
      the interests of the Lenders;

            (xi)  any amendments or modifications of, or waivers under, any
      Major Project Document, which are permitted by Section 5.10(b) (Business
      Activities) and are on terms that are no less favorable to the Borrower or
      its relevant Subsidiary (as certified to the

                                       97
<PAGE>

      Administrative Agent in an Officer's Certificate) than those that would
      have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such
      Subsidiary, with an unrelated Person; and

            (xii) any agreement to do any of the foregoing.

SECTION 5.9 Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except
Permitted Liens.

SECTION 5.10 Business Activities.

      (a)   The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such
extent as would not be material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

      (b)   The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, perform all
their obligations under the Major Project Documents, and the Borrower shall not,
and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, terminate, amend or otherwise
modify, or consent to any termination, amendment or modification of, or grant
any waiver under, any Major Project Document, unless any failure to so perform
or any such termination, amendment, modification or waiver would not, when taken
together with all other such failures to perform, terminations, amendments,
modifications and waivers since the Closing Date, be Materially Adverse, as
evidenced by a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Borrower;
provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to any
amendment, modification or termination of any Major Project Document required
under this Agreement in connection with an Asset Sale.

      (c)   The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, obtain and
maintain all permits and approvals necessary for the construction and operation
of the Facilities, including applicable exemptions from PUHCA, unless the
failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

      (d)   The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, use or dispose of any hazardous materials or allow any hazardous materials
to be brought onto or stored or used on or transported to or released from the
Facilities, other than in accordance with prudent industry practices and in
compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except to the extent such
non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      (e)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall
not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any contract
monetization, contract buy-out or similar transactions.

SECTION 5.11 Payments for Consent. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of any Revolving Loan or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of any Revolving Loan Document unless such consideration is offered to be paid
and is paid to all Lenders that consent, waive or agree to

                                       98

in any Subsidiary of the Borrower to any Person (other than the Borrower or a
Guarantor), unless:

similar businesses as those of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and furnish to
the Administrative Agent, upon written request, full information as to such
Persons' property and

                                       99

SECTION 5.20 Compliance with Law. The Borrower shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, except to the

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

default provided for in this Section 5.20, the Third Priority Fixed Rate Notes

                                   SUCCESSORS

SECTION 6.1 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

      (a)   The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) consolidate or
merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Borrower is the surviving
entity); (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another
Person; or (iii) lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in
one or more related transactions, to any other Person; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not apply to:

            (i)   a merger of the Borrower with an Affiliate solely for the
      purpose of reconstituting the Borrower in another jurisdiction; or

            (ii)  any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, lease or other
      disposition of assets between or among the Borrower and the Guarantors.

      (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower is permitted to
reorganize as a corporation or a limited liability company in accordance with
the procedures established in this Agreement, provided that the Borrower shall
have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Opinion of Counsel in the United
States reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent confirming that such
reorganization is not adverse to the Lenders (it being recognized that such
reorganization shall not be deemed adverse to the Lenders solely because (i) of
the accrual of deferred tax liabilities resulting from such reorganization or
(ii) the successor or surviving corporation (A) is subject to income tax as a
corporate entity or (B) is considered to be an "includable corporation" of an
affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of the Code or any similar
state or local law).

SECTION 6.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger,
or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower in a transaction that is
subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 6.1 (Merger,
Consolidation, or Sale of Assets), the successor corporation formed by such
consolidation or into or with which the Borrower is merged or to which such
sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other

                                      101
<PAGE>

disposition, the provisions of this Agreement referring to the "Borrower" shall
refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Borrower), and may
exercise every right and power of the Borrower under this Agreement with the
same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Borrower herein;
provided, however, that the predecessor Borrower shall not be relieved from the
obligation to pay the principal of and interest on or other amounts in respect
of the Revolving Loans.

                                  ARTICLE VII.
                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 7.1 Events of Default.

      Each of the following is an "Event of Default":

      (a)   default for 5 days in the payment when due of interest or fees on
the Revolving Loans;

      (b)   default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any,
on the Revolving Loans;

      (c)   the occurrence of a Change of Control;

      (d)   failure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with
Section 5.7 (Asset Sales; Application of Net Proceeds) or 5.15 (Deposit of

      (e)   failure by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for 30
days after written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Lenders holding
at least 50% in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans
then outstanding to comply with any of the agreements in this Agreement or the
other Revolving Loan Documents;

      (f)   default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or
the payment of which is guaranteed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries)
whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date
of this Agreement, if that default:

            (i)   is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or
      premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace
      period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a
      "Payment Default"); or

            (ii)  results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
      express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with
the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a
Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates
$25,000,000 or more, and such default shall not have been cured or waived or any
such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness repaid, within 20 days of the
Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary becoming aware of such default;

                                      102
<PAGE>

      (g)   failure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to pay final
judgments aggregating in excess of $25,000,000 (excluding those covered by
insurance), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of
60 days;

      (h)   the repudiation by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
of any of its obligations under the Security Documents or the unenforceability
of the Security Documents against Holdings, the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries for any reason; provided that such repudiation or unenforceability
relates to Collateral having a Fair Market Value of $25,000,000 or more;

      (i)   except as permitted by this Agreement, any Revolving Loan Guarantee
shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall
cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any
Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its
obligations under its Revolving Loan Guarantee, and such condition shall not
have been cured within 30 days after written notice from the trustee or the
holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving
Loans;

      (j)   breach by any Person (other than the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries) of its obligations under, or termination or failure to be in full
force and effect of, a Major Project Document (unless such breach, termination
or failure to be in full force and effect would not, when taken together with
all other such breaches, terminations or failures since the date of this
Agreement (other than those that have been cured as contemplated below,
including by entering into a replacement agreement), be Materially Adverse, as
evidenced by a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Borrower),
unless with respect to any Major Project Document such breach is cured, or such
Major Project Document is replaced with a substantially similar agreement (it
being understood that an agreement will be considered substantially similar if
it would not be Materially Adverse), within 60 days thereafter (or 120 days with
respect to the Interest Hedge); and

      (k)   the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary, suffer a Bankruptcy Event.

SECTION 7.2 Acceleration. In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause
(k) of Section 7.1 (Events of Default), with respect to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, the outstanding Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations
shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If
any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or
the Requisite Lenders may declare all the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement
Obligations to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the
Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall become due and payable
immediately.

SECTION 7.3 Other Remedies.

      (a)   Subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, if an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may pursue any available
remedy to collect the payment of

                                      103
<PAGE>

principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Revolving Loan Obligations or to
enforce the performance of this Agreement and any other Revolving Loan Document.

      (b)   The Administrative Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does
not possess any of the Revolving Loan Obligations. A delay or omission by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy accruing
upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative
to the extent permitted by law.

      (c)   Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may cancel all or any portion of the Total
Commitment and each Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment; further, the
Administrative Agent, the LC Bank and the Lenders shall not be obligated to
continue any Revolving Loans, make any additional Revolving Loans, issue, renew,
extend or increase the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit, or make any
payments, or permit the making of payments, from any account or any proceeds or
other funds held by the Administrative Agent under the Revolving Loan Documents
or on behalf of the Borrower.

      (d)   Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may maintain in a cash collateral account, for
payment of any Reimbursement Obligations or interest thereon (in each case, in
whole or in part) arising in connection with any outstanding Letter of Credit,
an amount of cash equal to the Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit (plus
accrued interest on the amounts in such account).

SECTION 7.4 Waiver of Past Defaults; Rescission. The Requisite Lenders by notice
to the Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders waive an existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder. Upon any such
waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Requisite Lenders,
by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may on behalf of all of the
Lenders rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default
(except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely
because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

SECTION 7.5 Control by Majority. The Requisite Lenders may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy
available to the Administrative Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred
on it. However, the Administrative Agent may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law, this Agreement, the other Revolving Loan Documents, that the
Administrative Agent determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other
Lenders, that may involve the Administrative Agent in personal liability, or
that is inconsistent with the Collateral Trust Agreement.

SECTION 7.6 Collection Suit by Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 7.1(a) or (b) (Events of Default) occurs and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent is authorized to recover judgment in its
own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Borrower for the whole
amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid

                                      104
<PAGE>

on the Revolving Loans and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and
counsel.

SECTION 7.7 Priorities.

      Subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, if the Administrative Agent
collects any money pursuant to this Article VII, it shall pay out the money in
the following order:

            First: to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on a pro rata
      basis, their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under this
      Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents, including payment of all
      compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by
      the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders and the costs and expenses
      of collection;

            Second: to the Lenders for amounts due and unpaid on the Revolving
      Loan Obligations for principal, premium, if any, fees, and interest,
      ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
      amounts due and payable on the Revolving Loan Obligations for principal,
      premium, if any, fees, and interest, respectively; and

            Third: to the Borrower or to such party as a court of competent
      jurisdiction shall direct.

      The Administrative Agent may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 7.7.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.
                                     AGENTS

SECTION 8.1 Appointment of Agents. The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and
agree that The Bank of Nova Scotia has acted and shall be credited as lead
arranger and bookrunner of the Revolving Loans. The Borrower and the Lenders
acknowledge and agree that The Bank of Nova Scotia is hereby appointed the
Administrative Agent and the LC Bank hereunder and under the other Revolving
Loan Documents. The Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral
Agent to act as the Collateral Agent with respect to the Revolving Loan
Obligations, and each Lender authorizes the Collateral Agent and the
Administrative Agent to enter into and perform their respective obligations
under the Collateral Trust Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes (a) the
Administrative Agent to act as its agent and (b) the LC Bank to act as issuing
bank, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Revolving
Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act upon the express
conditions contained herein and the other Revolving Loan Documents, as
applicable. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of
the Agents and the Lenders and no Obligor shall have any rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and
duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the
Lenders and no Agent does or shall assume or be deemed to have assumed any
obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries. The Bank of Nova Scotia in its capacity as the lead
arranger and bookrunner shall

                                      105
<PAGE>

not have any duties, liabilities or obligations under the Revolving Loan
Documents but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.2 Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to
take such action on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and
remedies hereunder and under the other Revolving Loan Documents as are
specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are
expressly specified herein and in the other Revolving Loan Documents. Each Agent
may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or
through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of
the other Revolving Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Revolving Loan Documents,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Revolving Loan
Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

SECTION 8.3 General Immunity.

      (a)   No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible
to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency hereof or any other Revolving Loan
Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made
herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial
or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents
furnished or made by any Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of any Obligor
to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Revolving Loan Documents and
the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business
affairs of any Obligor or any other Person liable for the payment of any
Revolving Loan Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Revolving Loan
Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Revolving Loans or Letters of
Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Material Adverse
Effect, Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to
the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of
the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Participation Interests or the
component amounts thereof.

      (b)   Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action
taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Revolving
Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent's bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from
any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in
connection herewith or any of the other Revolving Loan Documents or from the
exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or
thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in
respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required
to give such instructions under Section 12.5 (Amendments and Waivers)) and, upon
receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as
the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed)
refrain from acting, or to

                                      106
<PAGE>

exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and
shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and
judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by
it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any
Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from
acting hereunder or any of the other Revolving Loan Documents in accordance with
the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required
to give such instructions under Section 12.5 (Amendments and Waivers)).

SECTION 8.4 Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in
no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or
obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.
With respect to its participation in the Revolving Loans, each Agent shall have
the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it
hereunder, and the term "Lender" shall, unless the context clearly otherwise
indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other
business with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing
the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from
the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to
account for the same to the Lenders.

SECTION 8.5 Lenders' Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

      (a)   Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries in connection with its Revolving Loans hereunder and that
it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness
of the CalGen Companies. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such
appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the making of the Revolving Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and
no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the
completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

      (b)   Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement,
shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved,
each Revolving Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by
any Agent, Requisite Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

SECTION 8.6 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata
Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent
shall not have been reimbursed by any Obligor, for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of
any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or

                                      107
<PAGE>

asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or
performing its duties hereunder or under the other Revolving Loan Documents or
otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or the other Revolving Loan Documents; provided, no Lender shall
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from such Agent's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any
indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such
Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional
indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until
such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this
sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability,
obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or
disbursement in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided
further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify
any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action,
judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the
immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 8.7 Successor Administrative Agent or LC Bank. The Administrative Agent
or the LC Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent or the LC
Bank may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or
concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and the LC Bank and signed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon
any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Requisite Lenders shall
have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to the Borrower, to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent or LC Bank (as applicable); provided, that the
Borrower shall have the right to approve any such successor Administrative Agent
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Administrative Agent or LC Bank hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent or LC Bank, as applicable, that successor Administrative
Agent or LC Bank (as applicable) shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent or LC Bank, as applicable and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent or LC Bank shall promptly transfer to such successor
Administrative Agent or LC Bank, as applicable, all sums, together with all
records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent or LC Bank, as
applicable under the Revolving Loan Documents, whereupon such retiring or
removed Administrative Agent or LC Bank (as applicable) shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring or removed
Administrative Agent's or LC Bank's (as applicable) resignation or removal
hereunder as Administrative Agent or LC Bank, as applicable, the provisions of
this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or LC Bank (as applicable)
hereunder. In connection with any retiring or replacement of the LC Bank
hereunder, the new LC Bank shall, at the expense of the Lenders, replace and
reissue all Letters of Credit issued by the retiring or removed LC Bank.

SECTION 8.8 Withholding Tax.

      (a)   To the extent required by any applicable Legal Requirement, the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an
amount equivalent to any

                                      108
<PAGE>

applicable withholding tax, including any withholding tax resulting from any
Lenders' failure to deliver the forms or other documentation as required by
Section 2.1.16(e) (Taxes; Withholding, etc). Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall
relieve the Borrower of its obligation with respect to Taxes and Other Taxes
provided in Section 2.1.16 (Taxes; Withholding, etc.).

      (b)   If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did
not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
(because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the
Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest,
together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff
costs and any out of pocket expenses.

                                   ARTICLE IX.
                             COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

      The Collateral Agent's Liens upon the Collateral shall no longer secure
the Revolving Loan Obligations outstanding under this Agreement, and the right
of the Lenders to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Agent's Liens on
Collateral shall terminate and be discharged:

      (a)   on the Revolving Loan Secured Obligations Termination Date; or

      (b)   with the prior written consent of each Lender whose consent is
required under Section 12.5.

Nothing in this Article IX shall be deemed to restrict the Collateral Agent's
rights to release liens on Collateral in accordance with the terms of the
Collateral Trust Agreement or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE X.
                     RANKING OF LIENS AND COLLATERAL SHARING

      EACH LENDER AND EACH AGENT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE THEIR
RESPECTIVE LIEN PRIORITIES, THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL, THE
EXERCISE OF REMEDIES UNDER THE REVOLVING LOAN DOCUMENTS, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS
TO THE REVOLVING LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE COLLATERAL ARE
SUBJECT TO AND GOVERNED BY THE COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT. Each Lender and each
Agent, by delivering its signature page hereto, funding its Revolving Loan on
the Closing Date and/or executing an Assignment Agreement (as the case may be),
shall be deemed to have (a) acknowledged receipt of, consented to and approved
the Collateral Trust Agreement, and (b) authorized the Agents to perform their
respective obligations thereunder. Each Lender and each Agent further
acknowledges that, in certain circumstances related to intercreditor and
security matters, the Collateral Trust Agreement provides that, where lenders
and/or noteholders hold the same series of Obligations (such as the Revolving
Loan Obligations, the Obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and the
Obligations under the First Priority

                                      109
<PAGE>

Notes), such lenders and noteholders will vote as a single class, and the agent
or trustee for such lenders or noteholders, as applicable, will vote the
obligations of such lenders or noteholders, as applicable, as a class (and not
by percentage of lenders or noteholders voting for or against the applicable
intercreditor or security matter). Accordingly, in such circumstances under the
Collateral Trust Agreement, if the Requisite Lenders hereunder do (or do not)
consent, approve, waive or otherwise provide direction to the Administrative
Agent with respect to any request, decision, action, or otherwise, then the
Administrative Agent shall vote 100% of the Revolving Loan Obligations in favor
of such consent, approval or waiver (or rejection thereof), as applicable, all
in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE XI.
                            REVOLVING LOAN GUARANTEE

SECTION 11.1 Guarantee.

      (a)   Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.22 (No Recourse
Against the Borrower or the Guarantors) and in Section 11.1 (b), the Guarantors
hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the LC Bank and their
respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and
complete payment and performance by the Borrower and each other Guarantor when
due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
Revolving Loan Obligations;

      (b)   Each Guarantor, and by its making of a Revolving Loan on the Closing
Date, each Lender, and by its issuance of each Letter of Credit, the LC Bank,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Revolving
Loan Guarantee(s) of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to
the extent applicable to any Revolving Loan Guarantee. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the Lenders and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will
be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum
amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are
relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this
Article XI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Revolving Loan
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

      (c)   Each Guarantor agrees that the Revolving Loan Obligations may at any
time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor
under this Article XI without impairing the guarantee of such Guarantor to the
extent provided in this Article XI or affecting the rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

      (d)   The guarantee provided in this Article XI shall remain in full force
and effect until the Revolving Loan Secured Obligations Termination Date.

                                      110
<PAGE>

      (e)   With respect to each Guarantor, no payment made by the Borrower, any
of the Guarantors or any other Person or received or collected by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the
other Guarantors or any other Person, by virtue of any action or proceeding or
any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of any Revolving Loan Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of such Guarantor
hereunder, which Guarantor shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than
any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Revolving Loan Obligations
or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the
Revolving Loan Obligations), remain liable for the Revolving Loan Obligations
outstanding from time to time hereunder up to the maximum amount of such
Guarantor's liability hereunder until the Revolving Loan Secured Obligations
Termination Date.

SECTION 11.2 Right of Contribution.

      (a)   Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor
shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder,
such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and
against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share
of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of Section 11.4 (No Subrogation).

      (b)   The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the
other Revolving Loan Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to
the Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties for the
full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 11.3 Subordination. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Article XI, (a) all existing and future indebtedness of, or other obligations
owed by, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to any Guarantor is hereby
subordinated to all Revolving Loan Obligations, and (b) without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, such subordinated indebtedness
(including interest thereon) shall not be paid or withdrawn in whole or in part,
nor shall any Guarantor accept any payment of or on account of any such
indebtedness while the guarantee provided hereunder is in effect. Any payment by
the Borrower or any subsidiary thereof in violation of this Section 11.3 shall
be received by the relevant Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and
the Revolving Loan Secured Parties, and such Guarantor shall cause the same to
be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Loan
Secured Parties immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent on account
of the Revolving Loan Obligations. No Guarantor shall assign all or any portion
of such indebtedness while the guarantee provided hereunder remains in effect
except upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and pursuant to an
agreement by which the assignee of any such indebtedness agrees that the
assignment is made subject to the terms of this Agreement, and that any
attempted assignment of such indebtedness in violation of the provisions hereof
shall be void. Nothing in this Section 11.3 shall apply to any repayment of
existing or future indebtedness or obligation, distribution, withdrawal of
capital or any other payment of any kind or nature whether in cash, in kind, or
otherwise, that is permitted to be made to the Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates pursuant to and in accordance with the Financing Documents.

                                      111
<PAGE>

SECTION 11.4 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled
to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral
security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any
Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the
Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor
hereunder, until the Revolving Loan Secured Obligations Termination Date. If any
amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at
any time when all of the Revolving Loan Obligations shall not have been paid in
full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties, segregated
from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received
by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent,
if required), to be applied against the Revolving Loan Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine,
subject to the terms and provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

SECTION 11.5 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Revolving Loan Obligations.
Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without
any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further
assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Revolving Loan
Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be
rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the
Revolving Loan Obligations continued, and the Revolving Loan Obligations, or the
liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party, and any of the Revolving Loan Documents may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the
requisite parties thereto deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Revolving Loan
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security
for the Revolving Loan Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this
Article XI or any property subject thereto.

SECTION 11.6 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

      (a)   Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal,
extension or accrual of any of the Revolving Loan Obligations and notice of or
proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee
contained in this Article XI or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this
Article XI. Each Guarantor agrees that the Revolving Loan Obligations, and any
of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
Revolving Loan Guarantees. Each Guarantor agrees that all dealings between the
Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, on the

                                      112
<PAGE>

other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article XI. Each
Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice
of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with
respect to the Revolving Loan Obligations.

      (b)   The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are primary obligations
of such Guarantor and are an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable
guaranty of payment and performance of the Revolving Loan Obligations and the
other obligations of Guarantor hereunder and not of collectibility, and are in
no way conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt to enforce in whole or in
part Holdings', the Borrower's or any CalGen Company's liabilities and
obligations to the Secured Parties. Each failure by a Guarantor to pay or
perform, as the case may be, a Revolving Loan Obligation or any other obligation
hereunder Shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate
suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

      (c)   The Revolving Loan Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to
time (whether or not after revocation or termination of the guarantee contained
in this Article XI) without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, except
such notice as may be required by the Revolving Loan Documents or applicable law
which cannot be waived, without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor,
without impairing or releasing the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, upon
or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

            (i)   change the manner, place and terms of payment or performance
      of, or renew or alter, any Revolving Loan Obligation or any obligations
      and liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or
      indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or in any manner modify, amend or
      supplement the terms of the Revolving Loan Documents or any documents,
      instruments or agreements executed in connection therewith, in each case
      with the consent of Holdings, the Borrower, the CalGen Companies and any
      Guarantor (in each case, as and to the extent required by this Agreement
      or the relevant Security Document, as applicable), and the agreements and
      guarantees herein made shall apply to the Revolving Loan Obligations or
      such other obligations as changed, extended, renewed, modified, amended,
      supplemented or altered in any manner;

            (ii)  exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against
      Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company, or others (including any
      Guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

            (iii) add or release any other guarantor from its obligations
      without affecting or impairing the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder;

            (iv)  settle or compromise any Revolving Loan Obligations or any
      obligations and liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred
      directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate
      the payment or performance of all or any part thereof to the payment or
      performance of any obligations and liabilities which may be due to the
      Secured Parties or others;

                                      113
<PAGE>

            (v)   sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise
      deal with in any manner or in any order any property by whomsoever pledged
      or mortgaged to secure or securing the Revolving Loan Obligations or any
      liabilities or obligations (including any of those hereunder) incurred
      directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof and/or any offset
      there against;

            (vi)  apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any
      obligations and liabilities of Holdings, the Borrower or any CalGen
      Company to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties under the Revolving Loan
      Documents in the manner provided therein regardless of what obligations
      and liabilities remain unpaid, except that sums paid by any Guarantor
      hereunder shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of the applicable
      obligation of such Guarantor hereunder;

            (vii) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or
      default under, the Revolving Loan Documents or otherwise amend, modify or
      supplement (with the consent of the Guarantors, Holdings, the Borrower and
      the CalGen Companies, as and to the extent required by the Revolving Loan
      Documents) the Revolving Loan Documents or any of such other instruments
      or agreements; and/or

            (viii) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this
      Agreement which may deprive any Guarantor of its right to subrogation
      against the Borrower or any CalGen Company to recover full indemnity for
      any payments or performances made pursuant to this Agreement or of its
      right of contribution against any other party.

      (d)   No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Revolving
Loan Obligations or invalidity, irregularity, unenforceability or non-perfection
of any collateral therefor, shall affect, impair or be a defense to the
guarantee contained in this Article XI, which is a primary obligation of each
Guarantor.

      (e)   The guarantee provided hereunder is a continuing guarantee and all
obligations to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be
conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. In the event
that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.6(b) above, the guarantee
provided by any Guarantor hereunder shall be deemed revocable in accordance with
applicable law, then any such revocation shall become effective only upon
receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice of revocation signed by such
Guarantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no revocation or
termination hereof shall affect, in any manner, rights arising under hereunder
with respect to Revolving Loan Obligations arising prior to receipt by
Administrative Agent of written notice of such revocation or termination. Any
such revocation or termination shall be deemed to be an Event of Default.

SECTION 11.7 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
waives and relinquishes, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, all rights and remedies accorded to sureties or guarantors and
agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies,
including:

      (a)   any right to require Administrative Agent or the other Secured
Parties to proceed against the Borrower, any CalGen Company or any other Person
or to proceed against or exhaust

                                      114
<PAGE>

any security held by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party at any time
or to pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent's or any other Secured
Party's power before proceeding against such Guarantor;

      (b)   any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of
power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination or disability of
such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other CalGen Company or any other Person or
the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to file or
enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other
proceeding) of such Guarantor, Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company or any
other Person;

      (c)   promptness, diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of
any kind, including notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or
additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part
of Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company, the Administrative Agent, the
other Secured Parties, any endorser or creditor of the foregoing or on the part
of any other Person under this or any other instrument in connection with any
obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by the Administrative Agent or the
other Secured Parties as collateral or in connection with any Revolving Loan
Obligation;

      (d)   any defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative
Agent or the other Secured Parties, including an election to proceed by
non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise
impairs the subrogation rights of such Guarantor, the right of such Guarantor to
proceed against Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company or another Person for
reimbursement, or both;

      (e)   any defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be
owed by any Person to such Guarantor for any reason whatsoever;

      (f)   any defense based on any act, failure to act, delay or omission
whatsoever on the part of Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company or any of
the Borrower's Affiliates or the failure by Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen
Company or any of the Borrower's Affiliates to do any act or thing or to observe
or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by
it under the Financing Documents;

      (g)   any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides
that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other
respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

      (h)   any defense setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be
available to or asserted by Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company or any of
the Borrower's Affiliates thereof against the Administrative Agent, the other
Secured Parties or any other Person under the Financing Documents;

      (i)   any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any facts any Secured Party may now
or hereafter know about Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company or the
Facilities, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk
beyond that which such Guarantor intends to assume, or have reason

                                      115
<PAGE>

to believe that such facts are unknown to such Guarantor, or have a reasonable
opportunity to communicate such facts to such Guarantor, since such Guarantor
acknowledges that such Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping
informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances
bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any Revolving Loan
Obligation;

      (j)   any defense based on any change in the time, manner or place of any
payment or performance under, or in any other term of, this Agreement or any
other Financing Document, or any other amendment, renewal, extension,
acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms
of this Agreement or any other Financing Document;

      (k)   any right to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of Holdings, the
Borrower, any CalGen Company or any other Person as a defense hereunder or as
the basis for rescission hereof and any defense arising because of the
Administrative Agent's or any other Secured Party's election, in any proceeding
instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2)
of the Bankruptcy Law;

      (l)   any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Law; and

      (m)   any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations), any
act or omission by Holdings, the Borrower, any CalGen Company, or any existence
of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent, Holdings, the
Borrower, any CalGen Company or any Secured Party that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, any guarantor or surety
(other than, subject to Section 11.8 (Bankruptcy), the defense of payment or
performance of the applicable Obligations guaranteed hereunder).

SECTION 11.8 Bankruptcy.

      (a)   The obligations of any Guarantor under the guarantee provided in
this Article XI shall not be altered, limited or affected by any proceeding,
voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership, liquidation or arrangement of Holdings, the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof, or by any defense which Holdings, the
Borrower, any Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof may have by reason of any
order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any
such proceeding.

      (b)   Each Guarantor shall file, in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in
which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law, all claims which
such Guarantor may have against Holdings, the Borrower or any CalGen Company
relating to any indebtedness of the Borrower or any CalGen Company to such
Guarantor, and hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of
itself and the Lenders) all rights of such Guarantor thereunder. If any
Guarantor does not file any such claim, the Administrative Agent, as
attorney-in-fact for such Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name
of such Guarantor or, in the Administrative Agent's discretion, to assign the
claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of claim to be filed in the name of the
Administrative Agent's nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with
an interest and cannot be revoked. The Administrative Agent or its nominee shall
have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding
and to take any other

                                      116
<PAGE>

action which a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases,
whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person authorized to pay
such a claim shall pay the same to the Administrative Agent to the extent of any
Revolving Loan Obligations which then remain unpaid or unperformed, and, to the
full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to the
Administrative Agent all of such Guarantor's rights to all such payments or
distributions to which such Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided,
however, that such Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied
except to the extent that the Administrative Agent receives cash by reason of
any such payment or distribution. If the Administrative Agent receives anything
hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due
under the guarantee contained in this Article XI.

      (c)   Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent it may do so
under applicable Legal Requirements, any protection to which it may be entitled
under Sections 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law or
equivalent provisions of the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction with
respect to any proceedings, or any successor provision of law of similar import,
in the event of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or
any CalGen Company. Specifically, in the event that the trustee (or similar
official) in a Bankruptcy Event with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or any
..CalGen Company or the debtor-in-possession takes any action (including the
institution of any action, suit or other proceeding for the purpose of enforcing
the rights of Holdings, the Borrower, or any Guarantor under this Agreement or
any Security Document), no Guarantor shall assert any defense, claim or
counterclaim denying liability hereunder on the basis that this Agreement or any
Security Document is an executory contract or a "financial accommodation" that
cannot be assumed, assigned or enforced or on any other theory directly or
indirectly based on Section 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) or 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Law, or equivalent provisions of the law or regulations of any other
jurisdiction with respect to any proceedings or any successor provision of law
of similar import. If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to Holdings, the Borrower
or any CalGen Company shall occur, each Guarantor agrees, after the occurrence
of such Bankruptcy Event, to reconfirm in writing, to the extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements, its pre-petition waiver of any protection to
which it may be entitled under Sections 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Law or equivalent provisions of the laws or regulations of any
other jurisdiction with respect to proceedings and, to give effect to such
waiver, each Guarantor consents to the assumption and enforcement of each
provision of the guarantee contained in this Article XI and any other provision
hereof and in any other Revolving Loan Document by the debtor-in-possession or
Holdings', the Borrower's or any CalGen Company's trustee in bankruptcy, as the
case may be.

SECTION 11.9 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Article XI shall
continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Revolving Loan Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of Holdings, the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, Holdings, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

SECTION 11.10 Payments. Each Guarantor shall make all payments due hereunder in
accordance with Section 2.1.12 (General Provisions Regarding Payments).

upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Revolving Loan Guarantees)
or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit

Bankruptcy Case or Insolvency Proceeding.

SECTION 12.3 Indemnity.

      (a)   In addition to the payment of costs and expenses pursuant to Section
12.2 (Expenses), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, the Borrower and the Guarantors agree to defend (subject to
Indemnitees' selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, the LC Bank and the Lenders and each of their respective
Affiliates and each and all of the directors, officers, partners, trustees,
employees, attorneys and agents, and (in each case) their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns (each of the foregoing, an "Indemnitee")
from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Indemnitee
shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Indemnified
Liability to the extent such Indemnified Liability is found by a final and
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
directly and primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.

      (b)   All amounts due under Section 12.3(a) shall be payable not later
than 10 days after written demand therefor.

      (c)   To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and
hold harmless set forth in Section 12.3(a) may be unenforceable in whole or in
part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower and
the Guarantors shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to
pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

      (d)   The Borrower and the Guarantors shall not assert any claim against
any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for any lost profits or special,
indirect or consequential damages or (to the fullest extent lawful) any punitive

                                      119
<PAGE>

or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Revolving Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating in any
respect to any Indemnified Liability, and the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby
forever waive, release and agree not to sue upon any claim for any such lost
profits or special, indirect, consequential or (to the fullest extent lawful)
punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected
to exist in its favor.

      (e)   The agreements in this Section 12.3 shall survive repayment of the
Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 12.4 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by the
Borrower and the Guarantors at any time or from time to time subject to the
consent of the Administrative Agent, without prior written notice to such Person
or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any
and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust
accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against and on
account of the obligations and liabilities of such party to such Lender
hereunder, and under the other Revolving Loan Documents, including all claims of
any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, or with any other
Revolving Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall
have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the
Revolving Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and
payable pursuant to Article II and although such obligations and liabilities, or
any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

SECTION 12.5 Amendments and Waivers.

      (a)   Requisite Lenders' Consent. Subject to Section 12.5(e), no
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Revolving
Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom, shall in
any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders
and any additional consents required by Sections 12.5(b) and (c).

      (b)   Affected Lenders' Consent. No amendment, modification, termination,
or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

            (i)   extend the scheduled final maturity or Expiration Date of any
      Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or Revolving Loan Note outstanding to any
      Lender without the prior written consent of that Lender and, with respect
      to Letters of Credit, the LC Bank;

            (ii)  waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not
      prepayment) due to any Lender without the prior written consent of that
      Lender;

            (iii) reduce the rate of interest on any Revolving Loan Obligation
      (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to
      any Revolving Loan Obligation pursuant to Section 2.1.7 (Default
      Interest)) payable to any Lender or reduce

                                      120
<PAGE>

      or extend any fee payable hereunder to any Lender without the prior
      written consent of that Lender;

            (iv)  reduce the principal amount of any Revolving Loan or
      Reimbursement Obligation outstanding to any Lender without the prior
      written consent of that Lender;

            (v)   amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this
      Section 12.5(b), as it applies to any Lender without the prior written
      consent of that Lender;

            (vi)  amend the definition of "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata
      Share" without the prior written consent of all Lenders;

            (vii) release any Collateral (other than immaterial portions
      thereof) from the Liens created by the Security Documents, except as
      specifically provided for in this Agreement and the Security Documents,
      without the prior written consent of all Lenders;

            (viii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under its
      Revolving Loan Guarantee(s) or otherwise consent to the assignment or
      transfer by any Obligor of any of its rights and obligations under any
      Revolving Loan Document without the prior written consent of all Lenders;
      or

            (ix)  amend or modify any provision which requires pro rata payments
      among and as between the Lenders without the prior written consent of all
      Lenders.

      (c)   Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of
any provision of the Revolving Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by
any Obligor therefrom, shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of
Article VIII as the same applies to the Administrative Agent, or any other
provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent,
in each case without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the LC Bank.

      (d)   Execution of Amendments, etc. The Administrative Agent may, but
shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute
amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Obligor
in any case shall entitle any Obligor to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.5 shall be binding
upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by
an Obligor, on such Obligor.

      (e)   Certain Amendments. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this
Section 12.5, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend or supplement
the Revolving Loan Documents without the consent of any Lender:

            (i)   to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

            (ii)  to provide for the assumption of the Borrower's obligations to
      the Lenders by a successor to the Borrower pursuant to Article VI hereof;

                                      121
<PAGE>

            (iii) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
      benefits to the Lenders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights
      hereunder of any Lender;

            (iv)  to allow any Subsidiary of the Borrower to provide a Revolving
      Loan Guarantee or allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Guarantee
      with respect to the Revolving Loan Obligations;

            (v)   to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted
      or required by this Agreement or any of the Security Documents or any
      release of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in this
      Agreement or any of the Security Documents;

            (vi)  to conform the text of this Agreement, the Revolving Loan
      Notes or the Security Documents to any provision of the "Description of
      Revolving Credit Facility" or "Description of Notes" section of the
      Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision of the "Description
      of Revolving Credit Facility" or "Description of Notes" section of the
      Offering Memorandum was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
      provision of this Agreement, the Revolving Loans or the Security
      Documents; or

            (vii) to reflect any waiver or termination of any right arising
      under the provisions of this Agreement that otherwise would be enforceable
      by any holder of the Notes, if such waiver or termination is set forth in
      the indentures governing such Notes, provided that no such waiver or
      amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Lenders.

SECTION 12.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

      (a)   Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of the Lenders and the other
parties hereto. No Obligor's rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest
therein may be assigned or delegated by any Obligor without the prior written
consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

      (b)   Register. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the
holders and owners of the corresponding Revolving Loan Commitments,
Participation Interests and Revolving Loans listed therein for all purposes
hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Revolving Loan Commitment,
Participation Interest or Revolving Loan (including any Revolving Loan
represented by a Revolving Loan Note) shall be effective, in each case, unless
and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof
shall have been delivered to and accepted by the Administrative Agent and
recorded in the Register as provided in Section 12.6(e). Prior to such
recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Revolving Loan
Commitment, Participation Interest or Revolving Loan shall be owed to the Lender
listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or
consent of any Person who, at

                                      122
<PAGE>

the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed
in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent
holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Revolving Loan Commitments,
Participation Interests or Revolving Loans.

      (c)   Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right (after receiving
the Borrower's prior written consent as to the identity of the assignee, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or required if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing) at any time to sell, assign or transfer
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including
all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment, Participation Interest,
Participation Interest or Revolving Loans owing to it or other Revolving Loan
Obligation (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform,
and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect
of any Revolving Loan, Participation Interests and any related Revolving Loan
Commitments):

            (i)   to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) of the
      definition of the term of "Eligible Assignee" upon the giving of notice to
      the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

            (ii)  to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (b) of the
      definition of the term of "Eligible Assignee";

provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.6(c) shall be
in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may
be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or as shall constitute
the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, Participation Interests
and Revolving Loans outstanding to the assigning Lender), and written notice of
each such assignment shall be provided to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent by the delivery of an Assignment Agreement executed by the parties to such
assignment.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the LC Bank shall have
the unfettered right to approve any assignment of any of Participation
Interests.

      (d)   Mechanics; Fee. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement,
together with (a) such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with
respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee
under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.16(e) (Taxes; Withholding, etc.) and (b) an
administrative fee of $3,500 paid by the assignee thereof.

      (e)   Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt of a duly executed and
completed Assignment Agreement (and any forms, certificates or other evidence
required by this Agreement in connection therewith) and the applicable fee, the
Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment
Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and
shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

      (f)   Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon
execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment
Agreement, as the case may be, and without limiting any other representation or
warranty contained in any such Assignment

                                      123
<PAGE>

Agreement, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the
applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement)
that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the
making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Revolving
Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it shall make
or invest in, as the case may be, its Revolving Loan Commitments, Participation
Interests or Revolving Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its
business and without a view to distribution of such Revolving Loan Commitments,
Participation Interests or Revolving Loans within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood
that, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.6, the disposition of such
Revolving Loan Commitments, Participation Interests or Revolving Loans or any
interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

      (g)   Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 12.6, as of the "Effective Date" specified in the applicable Assignment
Agreement:

            (i)   the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations
      of a "Lender" hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations
      hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement
      and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a "Lender" for all purposes
      hereof;

            (ii)  the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that
      rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to
      such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights
      which survive the termination hereof under Section 12.8 (Survival of
      Representations, Warranties and Agreements) and be released from its
      obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement
      covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and
      obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto;
      provided, anything contained in any of the Revolving Loan Documents to the
      contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be
      entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein
      with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such
      assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder);

            (iii) the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be modified to reflect
      the Revolving Loan Commitment of such assignee; and

            (iv)  if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any
      Revolving Loan Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the
      effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable,
      surrender its applicable Revolving Loan Notes to the Administrative Agent
      for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new
      Revolving Loan Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning
      Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate
      insertions, to reflect the new outstanding Revolving Loans of the assignee
      and/or the assigning Lender.

      (h)   Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell
one or more participations to any Person (other than the Borrower, any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its
Revolving Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans or in any other Revolving Loan
Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate

                                      124
<PAGE>

of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such
Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any
amendment, modification or waiver that would:

            (i)   extend the final scheduled maturity of any Revolving Loan or
      Revolving Loan Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce
      the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except
      in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase
      in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the
      amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in
      effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of
      Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment shall
      not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an
      increase in any Revolving Loan Commitment or Revolving Loan shall be
      permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's
      participation is not increased as a result thereof);

            (ii)  consent to the assignment or transfer by any Obligor of any of
      its rights and obligations under this Agreement; or

            (iii) release the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as
      expressly provided in the Revolving Loan Documents) supporting the
      Revolving Loan Obligations hereunder in which such participant is
      participating.

The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.1.14(c) (Making or Maintaining Revolving Loans), 2.1.15 (Increased
Costs; Capital Adequacy) and 2.1.16 (Taxes; Withholding, etc.) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a participant shall not
be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.1.14 (Making or
Maintaining Revolving Loans) or 2.1.15 (Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy) than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent and (ii) a
participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.1.16 (Taxes; Withholding, etc.) unless the
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such
participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.1.16 (Taxes; Withholding, etc.) as though it were a Lender. To the extent
permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 12.4 (Set-Off) as though it were a Lender, provided such participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.1.13 (Ratable Sharing) as though it were a
Lender.

      (i)   Certain Other Assignments.

            (i)   In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this
      Section 12.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of
      its Revolving Loans, the other Revolving Loan Obligations owed by or to
      such Lender, and its Revolving Loan Notes, if any, to secure obligations
      of such Lender including (i) to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral
      security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal
      Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve
      Bank and (ii) with respect to any Lender that is a fund that invests in
      bank loans, to any trustee

                                      125
<PAGE>

      or holder of obligations owed, or securities issued by, such fund as
      security for such obligations or securities or to any other representative
      of such holders; provided, no Lender, as between the Borrower and such
      Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result
      of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall
      the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, trustee or such holder of obligations
      be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning
      Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

            (ii)  At the request of the Borrower in connection with the payment
      in full of all of the Revolving Loan Obligations, whether by voluntary or
      mandatory prepayment thereof or on the Maturity Date or otherwise, each
      Lender shall execute and deliver to the Borrower (or to such Person(s) as
      the Borrower requests) such documents and instruments as the Borrower
      reasonably requests to assign all of such Lender's Revolving Loan
      Obligations (together with all of such Lender's right, title and interest
      in, to and under all the Revolving Loan Documents) to such Person(s) as
      the Borrower may direct; provided, that (A) upon the effectiveness of such
      assignment the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender an
      instrument pursuant to which the Borrower and the Guarantors release such
      Lender from all claims under this Agreement and all of the other Revolving
      Loan Documents and (B) such assignment shall be without recourse to and
      without any representations or warranties from the assigning Lender. If
      any such assignment occurs after the issuance to it of any Revolving Loan
      Notes hereunder, then upon the effectiveness of such assignment, the
      assigning Lender shall deliver all of its Revolving Loan Notes to the
      Borrower for cancellation or re-issuance to the new Lender.

      (j)   Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall become a party
to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum
duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12.7 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not
avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken
or condition exists.

SECTION 12.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All
agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the
making of any Revolving Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law
to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrower and the Guarantors set forth in
Sections 2.1.14(c) (Making or Maintaining Revolving Loans), 2.1.15 (Increased
Costs; Capital Adequacy), 2.1.16 (Taxes; Withholding, etc.), 12.2 (Expenses),
12.3 (Indemnity), 12.4 (Set-Off), 12.15 (Consent to Jurisdiction), 12.16 (Waiver
of Jury Trial) and 12.17 (Confidentiality) and the agreements of Lenders set
forth in Sections 2.1.13 (Ratable Sharing), 8.3(b) (General Immunity), 8.6
(Right to Indemnity), 2.2.7 (Lender Participation), 2.2.8 (Commercial
Practices), shall survive the payment of the Revolving Loans, the Reimbursement
Payments for Letters of Credit and the termination hereof.

SECTION 12.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of
any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder or under any other

                                      126
<PAGE>

Revolving Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other
or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The
rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are
cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and
remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other
Revolving Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay
in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it
preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

SECTION 12.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender
shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or
any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Revolving Loan
Obligations. To the extent that any Obligor makes a payment or payments to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf
of the Lenders), or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders enforce any security
interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or
the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable
cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor
or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as
if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred.

SECTION 12.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under any
Revolving Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 12.12 Revolving Loan Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders'
Rights. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall
be responsible for the obligations or Revolving Loan Commitment of any other
Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Revolving Loan
Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall
be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder
to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall
be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall
not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose.

SECTION 12.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any
other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

SECTION 12.14 Applicable Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of
the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict
of laws principles thereof.

SECTION 12.15 Consent to Jurisdiction. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST
ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER REVOLVING LOAN
DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE REVOLVING LOAN OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE
OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW
YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF
AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B)
WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL
PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR
CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE OBLIGOR AT ITS
ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 12.1 (NOTICES); (D) AGREES THAT
SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL
JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE OBLIGOR IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH
COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT;
AND (E) AGREES THAT THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY OBLIGOR
IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 12.16 Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO
WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER REVOLVING LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/COMPANY RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.
THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL
DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF

THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP,
THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND
THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS.
EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS
WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS
JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING
(OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION
12.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY
TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR
ANY OF THE OTHER REVOLVING LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR
AGREEMENTS RELATING TO

                                      128
<PAGE>

THE REVOLVING LOAN OBLIGATIONS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY
BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

SECTION 12.17 Confidentiality.

      Each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Borrower
and its business identified as such by the Borrower and obtained by such Lender
pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender's customary
procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being
understood and agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, a Lender may make:

            (i)   disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender
      and to their agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a
      Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in
      connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section
      12.17);

            (ii)  disclosures of such information reasonably required by any
      bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection
      with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender
      of any Revolving Loan Obligations or any participations therein;

            (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided
      that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in
      writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information
      relating to the Obligors received by it from any of the Agents or any
      Lender, and

            (iv)  disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency
      or representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance
      Commissioners or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless
      specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender
      shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request by any
      governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request
      in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other
      routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for
      disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such
      information.

SECTION 12.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein,
the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Revolving Loan
Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the
nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding
sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the
outstanding amount of the Revolving Loan Obligations shall bear interest at the
Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the
amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of
interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In
addition, if when the Revolving Loan Obligations are repaid in full the total
interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is
less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if
the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been
in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower

                                      129
<PAGE>

shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between
the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been
paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform
strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for,
charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of
the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically
and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender's option be applied to the
outstanding amount of the Revolving Loan Obligations or be refunded to the
Borrower.

SECTION 12.19 Counterparts; Execution by Facsimile.

      (a)   This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all
such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

      (b)   The delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart hereof.

SECTION 12.20 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification
of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

SECTION 12.21 Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.

      Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or
covenant provided for in this Agreement must include:

            (i)   a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion
      has read such covenant or condition;

            (ii)  a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
      examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
      contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

            (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has
      made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or
      her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or
      condition has been satisfied; and

            (iv)  a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
      Person, such condition or covenant has been satisfied.

SECTION 12.22 No Recourse Against the Borrower or the Guarantors.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER REVOLVING LOAN DOCUMENT, THE REVOLVING LOANS AND THE REVOLVING LOAN
GUARANTEES ARE NON-RECOURSE SECURED OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER AND THE
APPLICABLE GUARANTORS, RESPECTIVELY. THE ONLY RECOURSE A LENDER WILL HAVE WITH
RESPECT TO

                                      130
<PAGE>

THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF, OR INTEREST OR PREMIUM ON, THE REVOLVING LOAN
OBLIGATIONS (WHETHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR PURSUANT TO THE GUARANTEES) WILL BE
ENFORCEMENT OF ITS RIGHTS AGAINST THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY
DOCUMENTS.

         to extend credit under all Senior Claim Documents have terminated or

Debt Documents to the contrary:

            [__].2.1. Except as permitted under the Senior Claim Documents, the
Subordinated Debtor shall not, directly or indirectly, make any payment of
principal, interest or otherwise on or in respect of the Subordinated Debt.

            [__].2..2. Except for the right to accept payments as provided in
Section [__].2.1 or [__].2.5(b), Junior Claimant shall not demand, sue for or
accept from the Subordinated Debtor or any other Person any such payment or
collateral, nor take any other action to enforce or collect upon any such
payment or to enforce its rights to receive any such payment, in either case in
respect of the Subordinated Debt, provided, however, that nothing herein shall
limit the right or ability of Junior Claimant (i) to receive payments from the
Subordinated Debtor in respect of the Subordinated Debt as provided in Section
[__].2.1 so long as no default or event of default under any Secured Debt
Document has occurred and is

                                       A-2
<PAGE>

continuing, or (ii) to accelerate the maturity of the Subordinated Debt at any
time after all of the Senior Claims have been accelerated; and provided further,
that in the event that after an acceleration any of the Senior Claimants rescind
the acceleration of the Senior Claims, and provide written notice to Junior
Claimant thereof, or Junior Claimant otherwise becomes aware of such rescission,
Junior Claimant shall rescind the acceleration of the Subordinated Debt.

            [__].2.3.   Neither the Subordinated Debtor nor Junior Claimant
shall take any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the Senior Claimants'
priority position over Junior Claimant created by this Article, including,
without limitation, any action which will hinder, delay or otherwise prevent the
Senior Claimants from taking any action they deem necessary to enforce rights
with respect to the Senior Claims or the Lien of the Senior Claim Documents. The
Junior Claimant shall not take any action or otherwise act to contest on account
of the Subordinated Debt (i) the validity or priority of any Liens or security
interests granted to, or for the benefit of, the Senior Claimants, (ii) the
relevant rights and duties of the Senior Claimants with respect to Junior
Claimant on account of any Subordinated Debt as established in this Article or
(iii) the Senior Claimants' exercise of remedies in accordance with the Senior
Claim Documents.

            [__].2.4.   Each document or instrument evidencing Subordinated Debt
shall bear a legend providing that payment of the Subordinated Debt thereunder
has been subordinated to prior payment of the Senior Claims in the manner and to
the extent set forth in this Article.

            [__].2.5.   Junior Claimant shall not commence or join with any
other creditor or creditors of the Subordinated Debtor in commencing any
Proceeding against the Subordinated Debtor, [CalGen, CalGen Holdings or any
Guarantor -- ADD ALL THAT ARE NOT SUBORDINATED DEBTORS], but may join in any
Proceeding after it has commenced. At any general meeting of creditors of
Subordinated Debtor, [CalGen, CalGen Holdings or any Guarantor -- ADD ALL THAT
ARE NOT SUBORDINATED DEBTORS], or in the event of any Proceeding, if all Senior
Claims have not been paid in full in cash at such time, the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Senior Claimants is hereby irrevocably authorized at any such
meeting or in any such Proceeding:

                  (a)      To enforce claims comprising Subordinated Debt in the
         name of Junior Claimant, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or
         otherwise;

                  (b)      To collect any assets of the Subordinated Debtor
         distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment as a
         result of a Proceeding, or such securities issued, on account of
         Subordinated Debt as a result thereof and apply the same, or the
         proceeds of any realization upon the same that the Senior Claimants in
         their discretion elect to effect, to Senior Claims until all Senior
         Claims shall have been paid in full in cash (the Senior Claimants
         hereby agreeing to render any surplus to Junior Claimant and/or other
         subordinated creditors, as their interests appear, or to interplead
         such surplus with a court of competent jurisdiction); and

                                       A-3
<PAGE>

                  (c)      To take generally any action in connection with any
         such meeting or proceeding which Junior Claimant might otherwise take
         in respect of the Subordinated Debt and claims relating thereto.

            After the commencement of any such Proceeding, Junior Claimant may
inquire in writing of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Senior Claimants
whether the respective Senior Claimants intend to exercise the foregoing rights
with respect to the Subordinated Debt. Should the Senior Claimants fail, at
least 20 days before the deadline therefor, either to file a proof of claim with
respect to the Subordinated Debt and to furnish a copy thereof to Junior
Claimant, or to inform Junior Claimant in writing that the Senior Claimants
intend to exercise their rights to assert the Subordinated Debt in the manner
hereinabove provided, Junior Claimant may, but shall not be required to, proceed
to file a proof of claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt and take such
further steps with respect thereto, not inconsistent with this Article, as
Junior Claimant may deem proper.

            [__].2.6.   Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
event of default under a Secured Debt Document, Junior Claimant may, but shall
have no obligation to, upon not less than 10 days prior written notice to the
Collateral Agent, purchase all of the outstanding Senior Obligations owing to
the Senior Claimants by irrevocably tendering, in immediately available funds,
full payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to the Senior Claimants:

                  (a)      The Purchase Price shall be equal to the total amount
         of Senior Claims at the time of acceleration (assuming such obligations
         have been accelerated);

                  (b)      Any such purchase by Junior Claimant shall be without
         warranty by, or recourse to, the Senior Claimants, except with respect
         to the legal and beneficial ownership by the Senior Claimants of the
         Obligations so purchased, free and clear of all Liens and rights of
         others; and

                  (c)      Concurrently with any such purchase, the Senior
         Claimants shall forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to Junior
         Claimant all of their right, title and interest in and to the Senior
         Obligations, and all Liens and other security interests in favor of the
         Senior Claimants securing the obligations of the Subordinated Debtor in
         connection therewith.

         Section [__].3. Senior Claim Documents. The Junior Claimant
acknowledges that it has been provided with a copy of the Senior Claim Documents
and has read and is familiar with the provisions thereof.

         Section [__].4. Time of Filing. Notwithstanding the time of filing,
attachment or recording of any document or other instrument, it is agreed by
Junior Claimant that any Liens arising under or pursuant to the Senior Claim
Documents shall be senior to any Liens arising in favor of Junior Claimant as
part of or relating to the Subordinated Debt Documents, if any;

                                       A-4
<PAGE>

provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit Junior Claimant
to obtain any such Liens.

         Section [__].5. Wrongful Collections. Should any payment on account of,
or any collateral for any part of, the Subordinated Debt be received by Junior
Claimant in violation of this Article, such payment or collateral shall be
delivered forthwith to the Collateral Agent by the recipient for application to
Senior Claims, in the form received. The Collateral Agent is irrevocably
authorized to supply any required endorsement or assignment which may have been
omitted. Until so delivered, any such payment or collateral shall be held by the
recipient in trust for the Senior Claimants and shall not be commingled with
other funds or property of the recipient.

         Section [__].6. Ownership of Subordinated Debt; Amendment of
Subordinated Debt Documents.

                        [__].6.1. The Junior Claimant represents and warrants
that it is the lawful owner of the Subordinated Debt. Any security interest in
the Junior Claimant's interest in the Subordinated Debt will at all times be
subject to the rights of the Senior Claimants hereunder. The Junior Claimant
agrees that it may not assign all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt or any
of its rights or remedies under the Subordinated Debt Documents unless any
assignee expressly agrees in writing for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
that it takes such Subordinated Debt subject in all respects to the rights of
the Senior Claimants hereunder.

                        [__].6.2. The Subordinated Debt Documents may not be
amended so as to have an adverse effect upon the Senior Claims or the
Subordinated Debtor's ability to pay the Senior Claims at any time.

         Section [__].7. Waivers. The Collateral Agent and the Senior Claimants
are hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Article, whether or
not the Subordinated Debtor shall have complied with the provisions hereof
applicable to it, at any time when Junior Claimant shall have failed to comply
with any provision hereof applicable to it. Junior Claimant hereby irrevocably
waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be
asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any action
brought therefor by the Senior Claimants. Junior Claimant (a) further waives
presentment, notice and protest in connection with all negotiable instruments
evidencing Senior Claims or Subordinated Debt to which Junior Claimant may be a
party, notice of the acceptance of this Article by the Senior Claimants, notice
of any loan made, extension granted or other action taken in reliance hereon,
and all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Article,
Senior Claims or time of payment of Senior Claims or Subordinated Debt and (b)
hereby assents to any renewal, extension or postponement of the time of payment
of Senior Claims or any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any increase
in the amount of Senior Claims, to any substitution, exchange or release of
collateral therefor and to the addition or release of any person primarily or
secondarily liable thereon and assents to the provisions of any instrument,
security or other writing evidencing Senior Claims.

                                       A-5
<PAGE>

         Section [__].8. Subrogation; No Impairment of Subordinated Debtor's
Obligations. Subject to and from and after the Senior Obligations Termination
Date, Junior Claimant shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Claimants
to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the
Subordinated Debtor applicable to the Senior Claims until all amounts owing on
the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation,
no payments or distributions to the Senior Claimants to which Junior Claimant
would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article, and no payments paid
over by Junior Claimant to Senior Claimants pursuant to this Article shall, as
among the Subordinated Debtor, its creditors other than the Senior Claimants,
and Junior Claimant, be deemed to be a payment or distribution on account of the
Subordinated Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are
intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Junior
Claimant and the Senior Claimants. Nothing contained in this Article is intended
to or shall impair, as between the Subordinated Debtor and Junior Claimant, the
obligation of the Subordinated Debtor, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay to Junior Claimant the principal of and the premium, if any, and the
interest on the Subordinated Debt, and all other amounts payable by the
Subordinated Debtor under the Subordinated Debt Documents, as and when the same
shall become due and payable, or to affect the relative rights of Junior
Claimant and creditors of Subordinated Debtor other than the Senior Claimants.

         Section [__].9. Reinstatement. The obligations of Junior Claimant under
this Article shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment in respect of any Senior Claim, or any other
payment to any holder of any Senior Claim in its capacity as such, is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored or returned by the holder of such Senior Claims
upon the occurrence of any Proceeding, or upon or as a result of the appointment
of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for,
the Subordinated Debtor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.

         Section [__].10. Bankruptcy. This Article shall remain in full force
and effect as between Junior Claimant and the Senior Claimants notwithstanding
the occurrence of any Proceeding affecting the Subordinated Debtor.

         Section [__].11. Further Assurances. The Subordinated Debtor and Junior
Claimant shall execute and deliver to the Senior Claimants such further
instruments and shall take such further action as the Senior Claimants may at
any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and
intent of this Article.

         Section [__].12. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Article
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Neither Junior Claimant nor the Senior
Claimants shall have a duty to preserve rights against prior parties in any
property of any kind received hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall impose
on the Senior Claimants any duties with respect to any property of the
Subordinated Debtor or Junior Claimant received hereunder.

         Section [__].13. Governing Law. This Article is intended to take effect
as a sealed instrument, shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective executors,

                                       A-6

administrators, other legal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of the Senior Claimants, their respective successors and
assigns and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without
reference to principles of conflict of laws (other than Section 5-1401 of the
New York General Obligations Law). The parties hereto intend and agree that this
Article shall remain binding on such parties (other than the Subordinated
Debtor) notwithstanding the termination (except upon the payment in full of
Senior Claims in cash) or unenforceability of this Article as against the
Subordinated Debtor.

Re:  Calpine Generating Company, LLC - Assignment Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated
as of March 23, 2004 (the "Revolving Loan Agreement"), entered into by and among
Calpine Generating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Borrower"), the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, the Lenders party
thereto from time to time, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent
(together with its successors and permitted assignees in such capacity, the
"Administrative Agent"), as issuer of the Letters of Credit thereunder (together
with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the "LC Bank") and
as lead arranger and sole bookrunner. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms
defined in the Revolving Loan Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Revolving Loan Agreement.

         As of [INSERT EFFECTIVE DATE OF ASSIGNMENT] (the "Effective Date"),
[INSERT NAME OF ASSIGNOR] (the "Assignor") irrevocably sells, transfers, conveys
and assigns, without recourse, representation or warranty (except as expressly
set forth herein), to [INSERT NAME OF ASSIGNEE] (the "Assignee"), and the
Assignee irrevocably purchases from the Assignor and assumes (as more
particularly described in Schedule I hereto), (a) [INSERT PERCENTAGE OF
REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENTS TO BE ASSIGNED] % of the Revolving Loan Commitments
under the Revolving Loan Agreement (which represents $[INSERT AMOUNT OF
REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENTS TO BE ASSIGNED]), (b) [INSERT PERCENTAGE OF
PARTICIPATION INTERESTS TO BE ASSIGNED]% of the Participation Interests under
the Revolving Loan Agreement (which represents $[INSERT AMOUNT OF PARTICIPATION
INTERESTS TO BE ASSIGNED]), (c) [INSERT PERCENTAGE OF REVOLVING LOANS TO BE

                                       B-1
<PAGE>

ASSIGNED]% of the Revolving Loans under the Revolving Loan Agreement (which
represents $[INSERT AMOUNT OF REVOLVING LOANS TO BE ASSIGNED]), and (d) all
rights, benefits, obligations, liabilities, and indemnities related to such
Revolving Loan Commitments, Participation Interests, and Revolving Loans, as
applicable, under and in connection with the Revolving Loan Agreement and the
other Revolving Loan Documents (the "Assigned Portion"). After giving effect to
the foregoing assignment and delegation, the Assignor's and the Assignee's
outstanding Revolving Loan Commitments, Participation Interests and Revolving
Loans for the purposes of the Revolving Loan Agreement and each other Revolving
Loan Document will be as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

      In addition, this Assignment Agreement constitutes notice to the
Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 12.6 of the Revolving Loan Agreement,
of the assignment and delegation to the Assignee of the Assigned Portion of the
Revolving Loans of the Assignor outstanding under the Revolving Loan Agreement
as of the Effective Date, subject to its written consents.

      All accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts payable with
respect to the Assigned Portion for any period of time prior to the Effective
Date shall be payable to the Assignor, and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees
and other amounts payable with respect to the Assigned Portion for any period
from and after the Effective Date shall be payable to the Assignee. The Assignor
and Assignee each agree to hold in trust for the other any such amounts that it
receives pursuant to any Revolving Loan Document and to which the other party is
entitled.

      The Assignee confirms and agrees that in becoming a Lender and in making
its Revolving Loans under the Revolving Loan Agreement, such actions have and
will be made without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the
Administrative Agent, except for the representations expressly set forth below.

      The Assignor represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to
enter into and deliver this Assignment Agreement, that its existing aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitments, Participation Interests and Revolving Loans are as
set forth on Schedule I hereto, that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the
Assigned Portion and that it has not created any adverse claim on its interest
in the Assigned Portion. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, the
Assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made pursuant to or in
connection with this Assignment Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Assignment Agreement,
the Revolving Loan Agreement, any other Revolving Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, including the
financial condition of any CalGen Company or the performance or observance by
any Lender or any of the Agents of any of its obligations under the Revolving
Loan Agreement, any other Revolving Loan Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto.

      The Assignee (a) represents and warrants that (i) it is an Eligible
Assignee and that it is legally authorized to enter into and deliver this
Assignment Agreement, (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or
investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable

                                       B-2
<PAGE>

Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, (iii) it will
make or invest in, as the case may be, its Revolving Loan Commitments or
Revolving Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of business and
without a view to the distribution of such Revolving Loan Commitments or
Revolving Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or
other federal securities laws and (iv) it has paid to the Administrative Agent,
for its account, in connection with the assignment of the Assigned Portion, the
$3,500 administrative fee described in Section 12.6(d) of the Revolving Loan
Agreement, (b) confirms that it has received a copy of the Revolving Loan
Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements
delivered pursuant to Section 3.1.18 of the Revolving Loan Agreement and copies
of the documents which were required to be delivered under the Revolving Loan
Agreement as a condition to the making of Revolving Loans thereunder and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment Agreement, (c) agrees
that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which
by the terms of the Revolving Loan Agreement and the other Revolving Loan
Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender, (d) acknowledges that
it has received copies of, consented to and approved the Collateral Trust
Agreement, and authorizes the Agents to perform their respective obligations
thereunder, and (e) attaches the forms prescribed by applicable Governmental
Authorities as to the Assignee's status for purposes of determining exemption
from withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to the Assignee
under any of the Revolving Loan Documents or such other documents as are
necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to such rates at a rate
reduced by an applicable tax treaty. In addition, the Assignee, independently
and without reliance upon the Assignor, the Administrative Agent, any other
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, shall continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under the Revolving Loan Agreement, the
other Revolving Loan Documents and the other instruments and documents delivered
in connection therewith. ASSIGNEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ITS LIEN
PRIORITIES, THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL, THE EXERCISE OF REMEDIES
UNDER THE REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS TO THE REVOLVING LOAN
DOCUMENTS, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE COLLATERAL ARE SUBJECT TO AND
GOVERNED BY THE COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT.

      Following the execution of this Assignment Agreement, it will be delivered
to the Administrative Agent for recording by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 12.6 of the Revolving Loan Agreement, effective as of the Effective
Date. The Assignor attaches hereto the Revolving Loan Note held by it, if any,
evidencing the Assigned Portion and (i) upon request by the Assignee, will
request that the Administrative Agent exchange the attached Revolving Loan Note
for a new Revolving Loan Note, payable to the Assignee and (ii) if the Assignor
has retained any interest, may request that the Administrative Agent exchange
the attached Revolving Loan Note for a new Revolving Loan Note, payable to the
Assignor, and in each case in amounts which reflect the assignment being made
hereby and after giving effect to any other assignments which have become
effective on the Effective Date.

      Except as otherwise provided in the Revolving Loan Agreement, effective as
of the Effective Date:

                                   LITIGATION

      We are party from time to time to various litigation matters arising in
the normal course of business. On July 22, 2003, PG&E filed with CPUC a
complaint and request for immediate issuance of an order to show cause against
Calpine, CPN Pipeline Company, CES, Calpine Natural Gas Company and LGS. The
complaint requests that CPUC issue an order requiring the defendants to (i) show
cause why they should not be ordered to cease and desist from using any direct
interconnections between the facilities of CPN Pipeline Company and those of
LGS, unless such parties first seek and obtain regulatory approval from CPUC,
and (ii) pay to PG&E any underpayments of PG&E's tariffed transportation rates
and to make restitution for any profits earned from any business activity
related to LGS' direct interconnections to any entity other than PG&E. The
complaint also seeks an order permanently enjoining LGS and any entity other
than PG&E from entering into or utilizing direct interconnections with LGS, and
directing defendants to pay to PG&E any underpayments of PG&E's tariffed
transportation rates and to make restitution for any profits earned from any
business activity related to LGS' direct interconnections to any entity other
than PG&E. The complaint also alleges that various natural gas consumers,
including Calpine-affiliated generation facilities within California, are
engaged with defendants in the acts complained of, and that the defendants
unlawfully bypass PG&E's system and operate as an unregulated local distribution
company within PG&E's service territory. On August 27, 2003, Calpine filed its
answer and a motion to dismiss, which was denied on October 16, 2003.

      On January 15, 2004, PG&E, the Calpine entities and LGS entered into the
Settlement which would resolve all issues raised by the complaint. Although the
Settlement became effective as of January 15, 2004, certain of its terms will
only become effective upon approval of the Settlement by CPUC, and in the event
that CPUC does not approve the Settlement certain of its provisions will become
null and void. Upon approval of the Settlement by CPUC, PG&E would be paid $2.7
million and the parties would release all claims relating to prior periods. PG&E
also would agree not to pursue any new claim of unauthorized public utility
activity against the Calpine entities named in the complaint, except insofar as
such new claim raises matters not raised in the complaint, or with respect to a
change in the facts and circumstances relating to alleged unauthorized public
utility activity from those facts and circumstances existing as of January 15,
2004. As provided by the Settlement, the direct interconnections between CPN
Pipeline and LGS have been shut down pending possible future regulatory action.

      In accordance with the procedural schedule adopted by the presiding
administrative law judge, a settlement meeting was conducted pursuant to CPUC
settlement procedures on January 26, 2004. The settling parties filed a motion
for approval of the Settlement on February 6. Comments on the Settlement were
due March 8, and no party filed comments opposing any provision of the
settlement agreement. Reply comments are due March 23.

      The complaint does not name us or our facilities as defendants. However,
if the Settlement is not approved, there can be no assurances that this
litigation will not adversely affect CPN Pipeline Company's ability to perform
its obligations under the Cotenancy, Operating and Maintenance Agreement among
CPN Pipeline Company, Gilroy Energy Center, LLC, the Delta facility and the Los
Medanos facility.

      On June 11, 2003, the Estate of Darrell Jones and the Estate of Cynthia
Jones filed a complaint against Calpine in the U.S. District Court, Western
District of Washington. Calpine purchased Goldendale Energy, Inc., a Washington
corporation, from Darrell Jones. The agreement provided, among other things,
that upon substantial completion of the Goldendale facility, Calpine would pay
Mr. Jones (i) $6.0 million and (ii) $18.0 million less $0.2 million per day for
each day that elapsed between July 1, 2002 and the date of substantial
completion. Substantial completion of the Goldendale facility has not occurred
and the daily reduction in the payment amount has reduced the $18.0 million
payment to zero. The complaint alleges that by not achieving substantial
completion by July 1, 2002, Calpine breached its contract with Mr. Jones,
violated a duty of good faith and fair dealing, and caused an inequitable
forfeiture. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount in excess of
$75,000. On July 28, 2003, Calpine filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for
failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The court granted
Calpine's motion to dismiss the complaint on March 10, 2004. The plaintiffs may
appeal, and could also seek reconsideration of the decision.

      The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined, nor
can the liability that could potentially result from a negative outcome in each
case presently be reasonably estimated.
