Owner Lessor shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent a standby
letter of credit (the "EQUITY LETTER OF CREDIT") issued in favor of the
Collateral Agent by an Acceptable Credit Provider for the account of a party
other than Homer City or any of the Owner Lessors in the face amount equal
the amount requested to be withdrawn, provided, further, that any transfer of
funds from the Equity Account pursuant to this Section 4.6(a) shall not be
deemed to constitute any payment of Rent. If at any time after the delivery
of an Equity Letter of Credit the amount the Collateral Agent is then
directed to transfer from such subaccount of the Equity Account pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement exceeds cash then on deposit in such subaccount

to the lesser of the Shortfall Amount and the undrawn face amount of the
Equity Letter of Credit and shall deposit proceeds of such drawing into such
subaccount of the Equity Account (for application in accordance with the
terms of this Security Deposit Agreement). If pursuant to the terms thereof
the Equity Letter of Credit becomes drawable as a result of the failure of
such Equity Letter of Credit to be extended or failure to provide a
replacement letter of credit within 30 days of a downgrade of the applicable
Acceptable Credit Provider, the Collateral Agent shall draw on the Equity
Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of the Equity
Letter of Credit and shall deposit proceeds of such drawing into such
subaccount of the Equity Account (for application in accordance with the
terms of this Security Deposit Agreement).

transfers from the funds on deposit in the Equity Account in accordance with
Sections 4.1(b) and 4.13(b).

Account, the amount certified by the Facility Lessee in the Request Letter
delivered in connection with such Restricted Payment Date to be equal to the
difference, if positive, between the aggregate amount of the Equity Portion of

                  Section 4.15 INSUFFICIENT AMOUNTS. Except as provided in
Section 4.1(b) hereof, to the extent the amounts on deposit in any Account (or
applicable subaccount) are insufficient to fully satisfy any transfer
requirement from such Account (or applicable subaccount) under this Article IV,
such transfer shall be made to the extent of the amounts on deposit in such
Account (or applicable subaccount). In addition, if (i) any transfer
requirements from any Account (or applicable subaccount) in this Article IV
share the same level of priority and (ii) there are insufficient funds in such
Account (or applicable subaccount) to satisfy in full all such transfer
requirements which share such level of priority, such transfers shall be made on
a pro rata basis to the extent of the amounts on deposit in such Account (or
applicable subaccount).

                           (b)      the Collateral Agent shall sell or liquidate
all or any designated part of the Permitted Investments held in any Account at
any time the proceeds thereof are required to make a release from any Account
(or applicable subaccount) or any transfer between Accounts pursuant to Article
IV hereof; and

                           (c)      all such Permitted Investments, the interest
thereon, and the net proceeds of the sale, liquidation or payment thereof, shall
be held in the appropriate Account for the same purposes as the cash used to
purchase such Permitted Investments (and credited pro rata among subaccounts, if
applicable).

                  The Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be
necessary to perfect the security interest created by this Agreement in all
Permitted Investments in any Pledged Account.

manner whatever for soliciting any funds or for the sufficiency, correctness,
genuineness or validity of any funds or securities deposited with or held by it;

                           (b)      it shall be protected in acting or

financial or other transactions with any party hereto and may act on, or as
depositary, collateral agent or administrative agent for, any committee or body
of holders of obligations of such Persons as freely as if it were not Collateral
Agent hereunder; and

                           (h)      it shall not be obligated to take any action
which in its reasonable judgment would involve it in expense or liability unless
it has been furnished with reasonable indemnity.

of a Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of
New York (with respect to disputes in connection with amounts on deposit in the
Accounts), and time for an appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected,

and keep harmless each Owner Lessor, each Owner Lessor's Representative, the
Security Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors,

attorneys' fees) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, at

                  Section 8.4 SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the covenants
or agreements provided in this Agreement on the part of the parties hereto to be
performed should be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
contrary to law, such covenant or agreement shall be deemed and construed to be
severable from the remaining covenants and agreements herein contained and shall
in no way affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

                  Section 8.5 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

                  Section 8.9 BENEFIT OF SECURITY DEPOSIT AGREEMENT. (a) This
Security Deposit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no
other Person shall be entitled to any of the benefits of this Security Deposit
Agreement.

                           (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to
secure the Lessor Notes of each Owner Lessor, such Owner Lessor will assign and
grant a first priority security interest in favor of its applicable Lease
Indenture Trustee in and to all of such Owner Lessor's right, title and interest
in, to and under this Security Deposit Agreement (other than to the extent
relating to Excepted Payments and the rights to enforce and collect the same).

such Lien and security interest and acknowledges receipt of copies of the Lease

requirement or the absence of any requirement for any consent of the Facility
Lessee under any other circumstances. Unless and until the Collateral Agent
shall have received written notice from the Lease Indenture Trustee that the
Lien of the applicable Lease Indenture has been fully discharged, the
applicable Security Agent shall have the right (i) to directly receive for
application in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease Indenture
all amounts payable or otherwise distributable under this Agreement to the
applicable Owner Lessor (other than in respect of the Excepted Payments) and
(ii) to exercise the rights of such Owner Lessor under this Security Deposit

in and subject to the exceptions set forth in the applicable Lease Indenture.
