amended, the “Disbursement Agreement”);



     WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Majority Lenders (a) permit (i) Borrowings of

     WHEREAS, the Financing Agreement requires the approval of the Majority Lenders with respect to
the waivers described above.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:



     1. Waiver.




     (a) Until the termination of this Waiver as described in clause (c) below, the
Administrative Agent and the undersigned Lenders hereby waive (i) the requirements of
Sections 3.5(b), (c), (d) (other than with respect to any material Financing Documents) and
(e) of the Financing Agreement and the Construction Draw Conditions set forth in Section
1.2(c) of the Disbursement Agreement to the extent such requirements cannot be met as the
result of the Defaults, Events of Default and other circumstances set forth on Schedule A
hereto solely to allow Borrowings and withdrawals from the Construction Accounts to be made
and disbursed, in each case in accordance with the Budget and subject to the other terms
and conditions hereof, and (ii) any Default or Event



 









 







of Default that has occurred and is continuing as a result of, or that may arise from,
the events and circumstances set forth on Schedule A, provided that the aggregate
amount of disbursements from the Construction Accounts made during the term of this Waiver
with the proceeds of Loans shall not exceed $31,500,000 in the aggregate.




     (b) Until the termination of this Waiver as described below, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders party hereto agree not to exercise any rights and remedies that constitute
acceleration, foreclosure or other actions against the Collateral with respect to any
Default, Event of Default or other circumstances described on Schedule A hereto.




     (c) This Waiver shall terminate and be null and void in all respects on the earliest to
occur of (i) January 30, 2009, (ii) the Interim Completion Date, (iii) the date any Event
of Default other than those set forth on, or that arise directly from the circumstances set
forth on, Schedule A hereto occurs and (iv) the date that is two Business Days following
the Borrower’s receipt of notice that the Borrower has materially violated any of its
agreements, terms or conditions set forth herein, provided that, as used herein,
“Interim Completion Date” shall include the satisfaction by the Gasifier Vendor of the
Fluidized Bed Gasifier Steam Output Guarantee as defined in Section 9.01(c) of the Gasifier
Contract; provided further that, in the event of termination by
reason of clause (iv) above, the Lenders shall not be obligated to make any advances or
disbursements pursuant to this Waiver during the two (2) Business Day notice period.




     (d) Administrative Agent and the undersigned Lenders hereby consent to an amendment to
the Sub-Debt Documents that will (i) increase by $2,500,000 the principal amount of the
Sub-Debt (other than in accordance with the capitalized interest provisions of the Sub-Debt
Documents), and (ii) extend the term of the royalty payment to the Sub-Debt Provider under
Section 2.5(b) of the Sub-Debt Financing Agreement for a period of three years beyond its
current expiration.



     2. Agreements.




     (a) In order to induce the undersigned Lenders to execute this Waiver, the Borrower
hereby agrees:




     (i) That, if a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Borrower occurs, (A) the
Borrower will agree that the Lenders are adequately protected by the Collateral,
(B) the Borrower will, to the extent that it has sufficient funds and is otherwise
not precluded from doing so, support any motion or other request of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for payment of interest, fees and expenses
with respect to the Loans and other Obligations during such Bankruptcy Event and
(C) the Borrower will have first sought debtor-in-possession financing from the
Lenders;



2









 






     (ii) That the Borrower shall submit (A) concurrently with each Notice of
Borrowing and each Construction Draw Request, a revised Budget, which shall include
a variance report from the initial Budget, and (B) semi-monthly, an updated
Timeline (as defined below), in each case satisfactory in form and substance to the
Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Engineer, in the Administrative
Agent’s sole discretion;




     (iii) To participate in periodic conference calls with the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and their advisors with respect to itself and the Project;




     (iv) That it will not pay in excess of $400,000 under the Services Agreement
in any calendar month, which limitation will be reflected in the Budget;




     (v) To comply in all material respects with the Budget and the Timeline; and




     (vi) That, beginning the date this Waiver becomes effective, the Applicable
Margin shall be increased to 5.75%.




     (b) Each Party further agrees that (i) interest and accrued commitment fees shall be
payable in cash on the last Business Day of each month, subject to the cure period for
interest and fee payments in the Financing Agreement, (ii) all proceeds of the additional
Sub-Debt described below shall be used in accordance with the Budget before any Borrowing
or any Construction Draw of Loan proceeds is made, (iii) if any proceeds of the insurance
described in Section 5.1(x) of the Financing Agreement are received while this Waiver is

Lurgi, Inc. is entitled to payment) shall be used in accordance with the Budget before any
Borrowing or any Construction Draw of Loan proceeds is made and (iv), without limiting the
Borrower’s obligations to comply with the Budget and the other terms and conditions hereof,
the Borrower shall be permitted to make two additional Construction Draws per month after
giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ notice of any such additional
Construction Draw.



     3. Effectiveness. This Waiver shall be deemed effective upon the receipt by the
Administrative Agent of the following:




     (a) this Waiver duly executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Majority
Lenders;




     (b) the payment in immediately available funds of (i) all of the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ accrued fees and expenses and (ii) a waiver fee, for the account

New York City time, on October 6, 2008, in the amount of 0.50% of the Commitments and Loans
of such Lenders;



3









 






     (c) the Borrower shall (i) enter into new documentation with the Sub-Debt Provider
under which the Sub-Debt Provider shall agree to make at least $2,500,000 in new Sub-Debt
available to the Borrower on the date this Waiver becomes effective, which documentation
shall be on terms consistent with the Sub-Debt Documents and otherwise in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) have deposited, or caused to be
deposited, at least $2,500,000 in additional Sub-Debt proceeds into the Sub-Debt
Construction Account;




     (d) the initial Budget attached as Schedule B hereto (as revised from time to time in
accordance herewith, the “Budget”) and an initial timeline to the Interim
Completion Date attached as Schedule C hereto (as revised from time to time in accordance
herewith, the “Timeline”), each with the written approval thereof by the Engineer,
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Budget shall include, without
limitation, detailed information regarding management fees, costs by activity and other
items reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or its advisors; and




     (e) such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.



     4. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which representations and warranties shall survive the

     (a) Borrower has all the requisite power and authority to execute this Waiver and to
perform all of its respective obligations hereunder, and this Waiver has been duly executed
and delivered by Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms;




     (b) The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Waiver have been duly
authorized by all necessary action and do not (i) require any authorization, consent or
approval by any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
instrumentality, domestic or foreign; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule or
regulation or of any order, writ, injunction or decree presently in effect, having
applicability to Borrower or the organizational documents of Borrower; or (iii) result in a
breach or constitute a default under any loan or credit agreement or any other agreement,
lease or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of its respective
properties may be bound or effected;




     (c) No Default or Event of Default exists under the Financing Documents on and as of
the date hereof except as disclosed on Schedule A;




     (d) All amounts requested listed on the Budget constitute Qualified Project

4









 






     (e) All of the Security Document Liens are valid, First-Priority Liens as of the date

     (f) After giving effect to this Waiver, Borrower hereby represents that all
representations and warranties made by it to the Senior Secured Parties in the Financing
Agreement and the other Financing Documents are true and correct in all material respects
with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the date hereof (except to the
extent such statements, representations and warranties made in any such Financing Document
or writing executed prior to the date hereof related to a specific prior date).



     5. No Modification.



     Except as expressly set forth herein, the Financing Agreement, each other Financing Document
and each document executed in connection therewith shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full
force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof. Except as expressly set forth herein,
this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure
from, any other term or condition of the Financing Agreement, any other Financing Document or any
document executed in connection therewith or to prejudice any other right or rights which the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party may now have or may have in the future
under or in connection with the Financing Agreement, any other Financing Document or any document
executed in connection therewith. Except as explicitly set forth herein, this Waiver does not
create a course of conduct or an agreement to fund Borrowings, permit Construction Draws or waive
any Default or Event of Default.



     6. Miscellaneous.




     (a) Each reference in the Financing Agreement and the Disbursement Agreement to “this
Agreement” and each reference in each of the Financing Documents to the “Financing
Agreement” or the “Disbursement Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to such agreement as
modified by this Waiver.




     (b) This Waiver will be a Financing Document for all purposes of the Financing
Agreement.




     (c) This Waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof (other than
Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law and any successor statute thereto).




     (d) Except as expressly modified or amended herein, the Financing Agreement and the
Disbursement Agreement shall each continue in effect and shall continue to bind the parties
thereto.




     (e) This Waiver shall not constitute a waiver or modification of any of the Lenders’
or Agents’ rights and remedies or of any of the terms, conditions, warranties,
representations, or covenants contained in the Financing Documents,



5









 







except as specifically set forth above, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
hereby reserve all of their rights and remedies pursuant to the Financing Documents and
applicable law.




     (f) This Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different
Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will
be deemed an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, will constitute one
and the same instrument.




     (g) As a material part of the consideration for the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders entering into this Waiver, the Borrower, on behalf of itself and its officers,
directors, equity holders, Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever
discharges each of the Secured Parties and their respective predecessors, officers,
managers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives,
subsidiaries, and Affiliates (each a “Lender Party”) from any and all Claims or
other losses or liabilities of any nature whatsoever existing on the date hereof,
including, without limitation, all Claims, losses or liabilities for or in respect of
contribution and indemnity, whether arising at law or in equity, whether liability be
direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, whether absolute or contingent, foreseen or
unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which the Borrower may have or claim to
have against any Lender Party under, arising out of, in connection with, or in any way
related to, this Waiver or any other Financing Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the
provisions of this clause (g) shall survive any termination of this Waiver, whether under
Section 1(c) hereof or otherwise.




     (h) As of the date hereof: (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
(A) Tranche A Term Loans is $63,100,000, (B) Tranche B Term Loans is $136,633, and

of Credit is $51,452,055. Interest and fees have accrued on the Loans and Letter of Credit
as provided in the Financing Agreement.

the parties hereto and shall supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof.
