                            CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT


         CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of September 5,
2000 (the "Effective Date"), between ORMAT MOMOTOMBO POWER COMPANY, an exempted
limited liability company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman
Islands, (the "Borrower") and BANK HAPOALIM B.M., a commercial bank organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Israel, as lender ("Lender").
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A,
unless otherwise defined herein.

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested the Lender to make a credit
facility (the "Credit") available to it on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the purpose of financing the Project
in Nicaragua as more fully described in the Agreement of Association in
Participation and in the Business Plan; and

         WHEREAS, the Lender is willing to provide the Credit to the Borrower on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the
purpose described above;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:


ARTICLE 1. DEFINED TERMS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

         SECTION 1.01. DEFINED TERMS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. For all
purposes of this Agreement, (a) capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and (b)
the principles of construction set forth in Appendix A shall apply.


ARTICLE 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE CREDIT

         SECTION 2.01 THE TOTAL COMMITMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make available to the Borrower, during
the applicable Availability Period, the Loans not to exceed the Total Commitment
amount of $48,235,000 in two tranches identified as Loan I and Loan II as
follows:

         (a) Loan I. An amount up to $11,435,000 on account of Loan I to finance
up to 70% of the costs of Phase I of the Project; and

         (b) Loan II. An amount up to $36,800,000 on account of Loan II to
finance up to (i) an amount equal to 75% of costs of Phase II of the Project,
plus (ii) an amount equal to 5% of the costs of Phase I of the Project (the
"Additional Amount").

         (c) No Reborrowing. The Loans are not revolving in nature, and any
amounts repaid, prepaid or canceled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may
not be reborrowed.

         (d) Benefit of Collateral. Any and all amounts due to the Lender with
respect to the Loans under this Agreement and any other Financing Documents are
entitled to the benefit of the Collateral which is held by the Lender pursuant
to the terms of the Security Documents and the Sponsor Project Funding
Agreement.




                                                       CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
================================================================================

================================================================================




         (e) Availability. For the purpose of making Disbursements hereunder:
(i) Loan I will be available during the Loan I Availability Period; and, (ii)
Loan II will be available during the Loan II Availability Period. The Loan I
Availability Period and the Loan II Availability Period shall run consecutively,
but not concurrently, unless otherwise agreed by the Lender.

         SECTION 2.02 PROCEDURES FOR DISBURSEMENT OF THE LOANS.

         (a) Procedure. Subject to the terms specified in this Section 2.02, the
Borrower may submit to the Lender from time to time, but not more frequently
than once per month, a properly executed Application for Funding in the form of
Schedule 2.02 ("Application for Funding") for Disbursements to be made in
accordance with the Business Plan as: (i) reimbursements to the Borrower for
payments previously made to Project contractors, subcontractors, suppliers,
vendors and other Persons; (ii) advances to the Borrower for payment for work
performed or to be performed by Project contractors, subcontractors, suppliers,
vendors and other Persons for amounts payable by the Borrower within thirty (30)
days following the date of Disbursement in each case as budgeted in the Business
Plan; (iii) advances to fund MIGA premium payments in accordance with Section
5.41; (iv) advances to fund the payment of fees under Section 2.05; and (v)
advances to fund payments by the Borrower of Attorney Costs and other expenses
incurred by the Lender pursuant to Section 7.03(b)(i). The Borrower shall use
such Application for Funding to request each Disbursement under (i) Loan I
during the Loan I Availability Period and (ii) Loan II during the Loan II
Availability Period. The Borrower shall submit each such Application for Funding
at least twelve (12) Business Days prior to the date on which a Disbursement is
requested. No Application for Funding shall request a Disbursement (i) in excess
of the then unutilized and uncancelled amount of the Loan I or Loan II
Commitment, respectively, less the amount required to permit the Lender to fund
the Borrower's obligation under Section 5.33 (nor shall the aggregate amount of
the Disbursements exceed the Total Commitment), or (ii) that is less than
$300,000 (except with respect to the last Disbursement in respect of each Loan).
Except in the case of the first Application for Funding submitted under Loan I,
each Application for Funding shall include an implementation report, prepared
and executed by the Borrower's representative in accordance with Section
5.01(f).

         (b) Adherence to Business Plan. All amounts requested under each
Application for Funding shall be consistent with the Business Plan. The Lender
shall not disburse all or any part of the amounts requested in an Application
for Funding (i) for which all conditions precedent for the making of such
Disbursement have not been satisfied or waived pursuant to this Agreement or
(ii) with respect to Disbursements to be made under Loan II, as to which
documentation required to be delivered to the Lender or the Lender's Engineer,
as the case may be, has not been timely delivered by the Borrower. With respect
to Loan II, the making of any Disbursement thereunder shall be contingent on the
Lender's receipt four Business Days prior to the date on which a Disbursement is
requested of a certificate from the Lender's Engineer appointed under Section
5.36(a) hereof to the effect that the costs incurred or to be paid are
reasonable and appropriate for the value of the work performed or to be
performed and that such work is in conformity with the Business Plan.

         (c) Errors in Applications for Funding. If any Application for Funding
shall be disapproved in whole or in part on the basis of errors contained
therein or on the basis of incompleteness of such Application for Funding, the
Lender will cooperate in good faith with the Borrower in the Borrower's efforts
to correct any and all such errors or incompleteness so as to




                                   2                   CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT




permit the making of a Disbursement in a timely manner (taking into account the
due date for the payment of Project Costs which are the subject of such
Application for Funding). The Borrower acknowledges that, as a result of any
such disapproval of an Application for Funding, the date on which a Disbursement
is actually approved and/or proceeds actually disbursed may be later than the
date requested in such Application for Funding.

         (d) Fundings under Sponsor Project Funding Agreement. All disbursements
to be made by the Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor Project Funding Agreement
shall be made in accordance with the terms thereof, and it shall not be
necessary for the Borrower to submit an Application for Funding in connection
therewith. The Borrower shall certify to the Lender in each Application for
Funding that the amounts required to be disbursed to the Borrower in accordance
with the terms of the Sponsor Project Funding Agreement have been made as of the
date of the requested Disbursement.

         (e) Loan Disbursement Account. All Disbursements, irrespective of
whether made as reimbursements or advances shall be made to the Borrower's
current account with the New York Branch of the Lender.


         SECTION 2.03 INTEREST.

         (a) Interest Rate and Payment. Interest shall accrue and be payable in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date on the outstanding balances of Loan I and
Loan II, respectively, at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum until the
beginning of the first Interest Period following the completion date of Phase I
with respect to Loan I, and the completion date of Phase II with respect to Loan
II, at which time the interest rate on each such Loan shall be LIBOR plus 2.375%
per annum (the "Interest Rate").

         (b) Capitalized Interest Payment.

            (i) Loan I. On each Interest Payment Date until the first scheduled
Loan I Principal Repayment Date, interest at the Interest Rate due on each such
date with respect to Loan I shall be capitalized by adding such amount to the
outstanding balance of Loan I.

            (ii) Loan II. On each Interest Payment Date until the first
scheduled Loan II Principal Repayment Date, interest at the Interest Rate due on
each such date with respect to Loan II, shall be capitalized by adding such
amount to the outstanding balance of Loan II.

         (c) Additional Interest. With respect to any other interest due to the
Lender, on each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender
interest in respect of each Interest Period, on the daily unpaid principal
amounts of any Loan outstanding during such Interest Period, in arrears, at the
rates per annum equal to the Interest Rates in effect applicable to each such
period (or at such other interest rates as may be specified in this Article 2).

         (d) Overdue Interest. Without prejudice to the remedies available to
the Lender under this Agreement or otherwise, the Borrower shall pay, in
Dollars, interest at the rate of LIBOR Overnight Rate plus 4.50% on any
principal amount of any Loan or any other amount which is due under this
Agreement which is not paid when due (whether by lapse of time, acceleration,
requirement for mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for each day that such
amount remains unpaid until payment in full thereof.





                                       3               CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



         (e) Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Interest Period and a year of
360 days.


         SECTION 2.04 REPAYMENT.

         (a) Loan I. The principal of Loan I shall be repaid in 32 consecutive
equal payments, commencing on the Principal Repayment Date occurring on the
earlier of (i) 27 months from the Effective Date or (ii) the last day of the
Interest Period ending not sooner than thirty (30) days following receipt of a
Phase I Completion Certificate, and on each Principal Repayment Date thereafter.

         (b) Loan II. The principal of Loan II shall be repaid in 28 equal
consecutive payments, commencing on the Principal Repayment Date occurring after
the earlier of (i) 63 months from the Effective Date or (ii) the last day of the
Interest Period which ends at least 30 days following receipt of a Phase II
Completion Certificate, but in no event later than 39 months after the Loan II
Closing Date, and on each Principal Repayment Date thereafter.


         SECTION 2.05 FEES.

         (a) Commitment Fee.

            (i) Loan I. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee
(the "Loan I Commitment Fee") which shall be at the rate of 0.25% per annum of
the difference, determined as of the relevant due date, between (A) the Loan I
Commitment and (B) the drawn amount under Loan I. The Loan I Commitment Fee
shall begin to accrue with retroactive effect as of March 15, 2000 and shall be
increased to 0.50% per annum on the Effective Date.

            (ii) Loan II. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee
(the "Loan II Commitment Fee") which shall be at the rate of 0.25% per annum of
the difference, determined as of the relevant due date, between (A) the Loan II
Commitment and (B) the drawn amount under Loan II. The Loan II Commitment Fee
shall begin to accrue with retroactive effect as of March 15, 2000 and shall be
increased to 0.50% per annum on the Loan II Closing Date.

Commitment Fee shall accrue from day to day, beginning on March 15, 2000, and
shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year
of 360 days. Commitment Fee shall be due and payable in advance, on March 15,
2000 and every three months thereafter until the first Interest Payment Date and
on every Interest Payment Date thereafter, terminating on the last day of the
Loan II Availability Period or upon such earlier date as the Total Commitment is
reduced to zero or the undisbursed amount thereafter is cancelled or terminated.

         (b) Arrangement Fee. The Borrower shall pay a non-refundable
arrangement fee (the "Arrangement Fee") equal to 0.25% of the Total Commitment
within 30 days of the Effective Date, but in no event later than the first
Disbursement under Loan I.

         (c) Front-End Fee. The Borrower shall pay a non-refundable, front-end
fee (the "Front-End Fee") in the amount of 1.25% of the Total Commitment,
payable in two installments. The first installment shall be due and payable on
the Loan I Closing Date and shall be equal to 1.25%




                                       4               CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



of the Loan I Commitment plus 0.3125% of the Loan II Commitment; the second
installment shall be due and payable on the Loan II Closing Date and shall be
equal to 0.9375% of the Loan II Commitment.


         SECTION 2.06 PAYMENTS.

         (a) Time and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, all payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement
shall be made in full in Same Day Funds, without retention, set-off or counter
claim and free and clear of any deductions and charges, not later than 12:00
p.m. (New York time) on the date upon which the relevant payment is due, to the
Lender's account No. 373700001501 with Bank Hapoalim B.M., 1177 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, N.Y., 10036, mentioning "Ormat/Momotombo Project", or to
such other account as the Lender may designate from time to time by written
notice to the Borrower five Business Days prior to the date on which any payment
is made by the Borrower hereunder. The Borrower shall advise the Lender by
facsimile of the payment about to be made by the Borrower.

         (b) Payment on a Business Day. If any date for any payment under this
Agreement shall not be a Business Day then such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and interest (or Commitment Fee, as the case may
be) shall continue to accrue for the period from such due date to the next
succeeding Business Day.

         SECTION 2.07 PAYMENT ALLOCATION. Any payment made by the Borrower to
the Lender and any other amount received by the Lender under any of the
Financing Documents (excluding voluntary prepayments received by the Lender
pursuant to Section 2.11) shall be applied as follows: (i) against charges,
fees, costs and expenses due to the Lender; (ii) against interest on interest
which became overdue, if any, with respect to the Loans; (iii) against interest
on principal of the Loans which became overdue, if any; (iv) against interest
due on the Loans; and thereafter, (v) against the principal amount of the Loans
due and payable applied pro-rata to Loan I and Loan II and applied pro-rata to
installments within each such Loan, and any remaining amount shall be paid or
returned to the Borrower unless there is an Event of Default which is
continuing.

         SECTION 2.08 CURRENCY OF PAYMENT. The obligation of the Borrower to pay
all amounts payable under this Agreement shall be in Dollars and shall not be
deemed to have been novated, discharged or satisfied by any tender of (or
recovery under judgment expressed in) any currency other than Dollars, except to
the extent to which such tender (or recovery) shall result in the effective
payment of such aggregate amount in Dollars at the place where such payment is
to be made and, accordingly, the amount (if any) by which any such tender (or
recovery) shall fall short of such aggregate amount shall be and remain due to
the Lender, as a separate obligation, unaffected by judgment having been
obtained (if such is the case) for any other amounts due under or in respect of
this Agreement.

         SECTION 2.09 TAXES.

         (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Any and all payments by the
Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement and any other Financing Document
shall be made free and clear of




                                       5



and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In addition, the Borrower
shall pay all Other Taxes.

         (b) Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.09) paid by the Lender and
any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnity shall be
made within 30 days after the date the Lender makes written demand therefor.

         (c) Gross-Up. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or
withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Financing Document to the Lender, then:

                  (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that,
         after making all required deductions and withholdings (including
         deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under
         this Section 2.09), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it
         would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

                  (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;
         and

                  (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or
         withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
         accordance with Applicable Law.

         (d) Receipts. Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the
Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other
evidence of payment satisfactory to the Lender.

         (e) Mitigation. If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts
to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(c), then the Lender shall endeavor to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) as may be
available to it to mitigate the effect of such circumstances, including booking
the Loans in a different jurisdiction so as to minimize any such additional
payment by the Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the
judgment of the Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

         (f) Claims Against Lender. The Lender shall give notice to the Borrower
of the assertion of any claim against the Lender relating to the Lender's Taxes
or Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable after being notified of such
assertion; provided that any failure to notify the Borrower promptly of such
assertion shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Section
2.09.

         (g) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Project Document, the
provisions set forth in this Section 2.09 shall survive the payment of all
amounts due to the Lender under Loan I and Loan II, respectively.

         SECTION 2.10 TERMINATION OF TOTAL COMMITMENT. The Lender may terminate
the Total Commitment upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance
with the provisions of Article 6 hereof. The Borrower may cancel the undisbursed
amount of the Total Commitment





                                       6               CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



with the consent of the Lender upon the Lender's satisfaction that such amounts
are not needed to complete the Project. The Borrower may also cancel the Total
Commitment on account of Loan II either (i) if the Borrower decides not to
commence Phase II and notifies the Lender of its decision and that it does not
plan to commission the Technical Report referred to in Section 4.04, or (ii)
upon delivery to the Lender of a Phase II Completion Certificate in accordance
with Section 5.35 hereof.

         SECTION 2.11 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT. Subject to any required Governmental
Approvals having been obtained, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time
on at least 30 but not more than 60 days' prior written notice to the Lender, to
prepay all or a part of the principal amount then outstanding of the Loans,
without premium or penalty; provided that (a) no prepayment of any part of any
Loan shall be made on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto, (b) the amount of such prepayment is applied pro rata to Loan I
and Loan II and applied pro rata to outstanding installments of principal within
each Loan, (c) all accrued interest on the principal amount of the Loans to be
prepaid and all other amounts then due to the Lender hereunder are paid at the
same time, and (d) in the case of partial prepayment, such prepayment shall be
in an amount equal to $500,000 or more in integral multiples of $500,000.

         SECTION 2.12 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

         SECTION 2.13 FUNDING COSTS. If, as a result of (a) any failure by the
Borrower to pay when due the principal amount of or interest on any Loan (or
portion thereof), (b) any failure by the Borrower to make a borrowing of any
Loan after the Borrower has made a request for disbursement, (c) any failure by
the Borrower to make any prepayment of any Loan after the Borrower has given any
notice required hereunder regarding such prepayment or (d) the making of a
payment or prepayment (including, without limitation, on acceleration) on a day
which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Lender
shall incur any costs, expenses or losses, then the Borrower shall pay, upon
request by the Lender, the amount which the Lender shall notify the Borrower as
being the aggregate of such costs, expenses and losses. For the purposes of the
preceding sentence, "costs, expenses or losses" shall include, without
limitation, any interest paid or payable to carry any unpaid amount and any
loss, premium, penalty or expense which may be incurred in liquidating or
employing deposits of or borrowings from third parties in order to make,
maintain or fund the Loans or any portion thereof.

         SECTION 2.14 MAINTENANCE AMOUNT.

         (a) Obligation to Pay. On each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower
shall pay in addition to interest on the Loans, the amount which the Lender
shall from time to time notify to the Borrower as the aggregate of the
Maintenance Amount (as defined in subsection (b) below), if any, of the Lender,
accrued and unpaid prior to such Interest Payment Date.

         (b) Definitions. For the purposes of subsection (a) above, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:

            (i) "Maintenance Amount" means the amount, if any, certified in the
Maintenance Amount Certification to be the net incremental costs of the Lender
with respect to the making or maintaining of any Loan which result from (A) any
change in, or introduction of,





                                       7               CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



any Applicable Law and/or (B) any compliance with any request from, guideline or
requirement of, any central bank or other monetary or other comparable authority
or any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), which in
either case, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, shall:

                  (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, capital
         adequacy (only to the extent such capital adequacy requirement is
         generally applicable to financial institutions that are subject to the
         same regulatory controls as the Lender), special deposit or similar
         requirements against assets held by, or deposits with or for the
         account of, or Loans by, the Lender;

                  (B) impose a cost on the Lender as a result of its having
         made, funded or maintained any Loan or its commitment to make, fund or
         maintain any Loan, or reduce the rate of return on the overall capital
         of the Lender which it would have been able to achieve if it had not
         made or committed itself to make such Loan;

                  (C) change the basis of taxation on payments received by the
         Lender in respect of its Loans otherwise than by a change in taxation
         of the overall net income of the Lender; or

                  (D) impose on the Lender any other condition regarding the
         making or maintaining of the Loans; and

            (ii) "Maintenance Amount Certification" means a certification
furnished from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower, certifying:

                  (A) the circumstances giving rise to the Maintenance Amount;

                  (B) that such net costs have increased and that such net costs
         are within the definition of Maintenance Amount;

                  (C) that, in the opinion of the Lender it has exercised
         reasonable efforts to minimize or eliminate such increase; and

                  (D) the Maintenance Amount.

         (c) Optional Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.11, and
subject to any Governmental Approvals having been obtained (including from the
Central Bank), the Borrower shall have the right on any Interest Payment Date
for the Loans, upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall bind the Borrower to make
the prepayment specified below) and upon payment of all accrued interest and
Maintenance Amount (if any) on the amount to be prepaid, to prepay all or, as
the case may be, that portion of the Loans with respect to which the Lender
informs the Borrower that Maintenance Amount is then being charged.

         SECTION 2.15 ILLEGALITY.

         (a) Illegality of Total Commitment or Loan. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the
making, funding or continuance of



                                       8               CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



the Total Commitment or any Loan has been made (i) unlawful by any change made
in any Applicable Law, (ii) impossible by compliance by the Lender with any
request of a Governmental Authority (whether or not having force of law) or
(iii) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective
Date which materially and adversely affects the London interbank dollar market,
the Borrower shall, upon notice by the Lender (but subject to the approval of
the appropriate Governmental Authorities (including the Central Bank), which the
Borrower agrees to take all reasonable steps to obtain as quickly as possible,
if such approval is then required), prepay in full and on the next occurring
Interest Payment Date unless the effect of the Applicable Law, request or
contingency requires earlier or immediate repayment, in which case, on such
earlier date or immediately, as relevant, that portion of the principal amount
of the Loans affected thereby together with all accrued interest and Maintenance
Amount (if any) thereon and all amounts, if any, determined by the Lender to be
payable to it pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof. In addition, the Total Commitment
of the Lender to make Loans similar to those affected by the foregoing shall
terminate immediately.

         (b) Illegality of Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the making,
funding or continuance by the Lender of a Disbursement or any Loan bearing
interest based on LIBOR has been made (i) unlawful by any change made in any
Applicable Law, (ii) impossible by compliance by the Lender with any request of
a Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), then the
Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the obligation of
the Lender to make or continue Loans bearing interest based on LIBOR shall be
immediately suspended and during such suspension be converted into an obligation
bearing interest at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.375%;
provided, however, that if the Lender determines that it may lawfully continue
to maintain and fund any outstanding Loans bearing interest based on LIBOR until
the end of the applicable Interest Period then in effect with respect thereto,
upon written notice from the Borrower to the Lender, such outstanding Loans
shall be converted into Loans bearing interest at the rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus 2.375% on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Loans.

         SECTION 2.16 SUBSTITUTE BASIS OF BORROWING. If, on or before the first
day of any Interest Period relating to the Loans, either (a) the Lender
determines that, for whatever reason, deposits in Dollars for a period equal to
such Interest Period or in the relevant amounts are not being offered to the
Lender in the London interbank market or (b) the Lender gives notice to the
Borrower that the Interest Rate then in effect based on LIBOR for such Interest
Period does not adequately reflect the cost to the Lender of making, funding or
otherwise maintaining the Loans for such Interest Period, the Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower of such event. Thereafter, the obligations of the
Lender to make or maintain the Loans bearing interest at LIBOR shall be
suspended until the Lender revokes such notice in writing and interest for such
Interest Period with respect to a scheduled Disbursement and for outstanding
Loans for which interest is then scheduled to be determined shall accrue at the
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.375%.

         SECTION 2.17 MITIGATION PROVISION. The Lender agrees that (a) as
promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or
the existence of a condition arising after the date hereof that would cause it
to be affected under Section 2.13 and (b) as promptly as practicable after it
has made a determination to make a claim for amounts under Sections 2.13, 2.14
or 2.15, as the case may be, with respect to events or conditions arising after




                                       9              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



the date hereof, it shall notify the Borrower of the same and use commercially
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and the
Lender's internal policies) to mitigate the effect of such provisions on the
Borrower, including (i) in the case of Sections 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, efforts to
make, fund, issue or maintain its Loans, as relevant, through another office of
the Lender, and (ii) in the case of Section 2.15, efforts to reemploy amounts
held by the Lender, (A) if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would
otherwise be required to be paid to the Lender pursuant to any of such
provisions of this Agreement would be reduced, or the illegality or other
adverse circumstances which would otherwise require a prepayment of such Loans
pursuant to any of such provisions would cease to exist, and (B) if, as
determined by the Lender in good faith, the making, funding or maintaining of
the Loan through such other office would not otherwise adversely affect the
Lender.

         SECTION 2.18 CERTIFICATE OF LENDER. If the Lender claims reimbursement
under Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, it shall deliver to the Borrower a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail, including calculations thereof,
the amount payable to the Lender and such certificate shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

         SECTION 2.19 SURVIVAL. Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of the Borrower under this Agreement and any other Project Document,
the agreements and obligations of the Borrower set forth in Sections 2.13 2.14,
2.15 and 2.16 shall survive the payment of the Loans.


ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         In order to induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement and each of
the other Financing Documents to which it is a party and in order to induce the
Lender to make the Loans, the Borrower makes the following representations,

company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws

         SECTION 3.02 POWER AND AUTHORITY. The Borrower has the full power and
authority to execute and deliver, and to perform the terms and provisions of,
each of the Project Documents to which it is party and has taken all proper and
necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of

date this representation and warranty is made. The Borrower, has, or, in the
case of the Project Documents other than this Agreement, by the Loan I Closing
Date will have, duly executed and delivered each of the Project Documents to
which it is a party, and each of such Project Documents constitutes or, in the
case of each such other Project Document when




                                       10             CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as
the enforceability thereof may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (b) general equitable
principles, regardless of whether the issue of enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

         SECTION 3.03 NO VIOLATION. Neither the execution and delivery by the
Borrower of the Project Documents to which it is a party, nor the Borrower's
compliance with or performance of the terms and provisions thereof, or the use
of the proceeds of the Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (a) will
contravene or violate any provision of any Applicable Law to which the Borrower,
any of its assets, the Project or any transaction contemplated by the Project
Documents are subject, (b) will conflict or be inconsistent with or result in
any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the
obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except any Permitted Liens) upon any
of the property or assets of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, loan agreement or any
other agreement, contract or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by

subject, (c) will violate any provision of any other Organization Document of
the Borrower or (d) will require any consent or approval of any Governmental
Authority or any other Person which has not been obtained.

         SECTION 3.04 ORGANIZATION. All of the issued and outstanding shares of
the Borrower are owned by Ormat Holding Corp. except as provided in the Share
Pledge and Sponsor Participation Retention Agreement.

         SECTION 3.05 SUBSIDIARIES. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries and owns no
equity interest in any other Person.

         SECTION 3.06 SINGLE-PURPOSE BORROWER. The Borrower (a) has not incurred
any liabilities other than in connection with its participation in the
transactions contemplated by the Project Documents and (b) has not engaged in
any business other than the Project. The Borrower is not a party to any material
agreement, contract or commitment (other than the ENEL Agreements, the Fiduciary
Account Agreement, the Financing Documents, the Investment Agreement and any
Implementation Agreements).

         SECTION 3.07 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; FINANCIAL CONDITION: UNDISCLOSED
         LIABILITIES; ETC.

         (a) No Material Adverse Effect. The financial statements of the
Borrower for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 1999, heretofore furnished to
the Lender, present fairly the financial condition of the Borrower at the date
thereof and the results of the operations of the Borrower for the fiscal period
referred to in such statements. Such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Since the date of such financial statements, no event,
condition or circumstance (including, without limitation, Force Majeure) has
existed or has occurred which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         (b) No Likelihood of Material Adverse Effect. Except as fully reflected
in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.07(a), there are no
liabilities or obligations with respect to the




                                       11



Borrower (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not
due) for the period to which such financial statements relate which, either
individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Borrower does not know of any reasonable basis for the
assertion against the Borrower of any liability or obligation of any nature
whatsoever for such relevant period that is not fully reflected in the financial
statements referred to in Section 3.07(a) which, either individually or in the
aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.08 LITIGATION; LABOR DISPUTES.

         (a) No Proceedings. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.08 hereto, there
is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding by or before any court,
arbitrator, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority pending or, to
the best of the Borrower's knowledge, threatened against or affecting the
Borrower or any of its properties, revenues or assets or the Project or the Site
(including Environmental Claims) which has had or is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower is not in default with respect to any
order of any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other Governmental
Authority. There is no injunction, writ, preliminary restraining order or any
order of any nature issued by an arbitrator, court or other Governmental
Authority directing that any of the material transactions provided for in any of
the Project Documents not be consummated as herein or therein provided. To the
best of the Borrower's knowledge, there is no action, suit, investigation or
proceeding by or before any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other
Governmental Authority pending or threatened against or affecting the Borrower
or any of its properties, revenues or assets, and the Borrower does not have
actual knowledge of any such action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending
or threatened against or affecting any other party to any Project Document or
any of their respective properties, revenues or assets, in each case described
in this sentence which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         (b) No Labor Claims Pending. There are no strikes, slowdowns or work
stoppages by the Borrower's employees ongoing, or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened which are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There are no claims pending against the Borrower arising from the
transfer of personnel pursuant to the terms of the ENEL Agreements.

         SECTION 3.09 TRUE AND COMPLETE DISCLOSURE. All factual information
(taken as a whole), which, for the avoidance of doubt (a) shall not include any
information by way of projections, estimates or other expressions of view as to
future circumstances, provided that such projections, estimates or other
expressions of view are expressed in good faith and on the basis of reasonable
assumptions and (b) shall be qualified by any disclaimers with respect to such
factual information provided by the Borrower to the Lender heretofore or
contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the
Lender (including without limitation such factual information related to the
Project as is contained in the preliminary business plan dated February 27, 2000
(financial model) previously submitted to the Lender on February 27, 2000 with
respect to the Project and as stated in the Lender's Offer Letter dated March
14, 2000 and in the Business Plan), and all other such factual information
(taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in
writing to the Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the
date as of which such information is stated or certified and not incomplete by
omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole)
not misleading in any material respect in light of the circumstances and the
time under which or




                                       12              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



at which such information was provided. There are in existence no documents or
agreements which have not been disclosed to the Lender which are material in the
context of the Project Documents or which have the effect of varying any of the
Project Documents or their meaning.

         SECTION 3.10 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. Except as disclosed in Schedule
3.11, the Borrower has filed all tax returns required by Applicable Law to be
filed by it and has paid all income taxes payable by it which have become due
pursuant to such tax returns and all other taxes and assessments payable by it
which have become due, other than those not yet delinquent and except for those
contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established.
The Borrower has paid, or has provided adequate reserves for the payment of, all
national, regional or local income taxes applicable for all prior Fiscal Years
and for the current Fiscal Year to the date hereof, except as disclosed under
Schedule 3.11.

         SECTION 3.11 GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. All Governmental Approvals
necessary under Applicable Law in connection with (a) the due execution and
delivery of, and performance by the Borrower of its obligations and the exercise
of its rights under, the Project Documents in effect or required to be in effect
as of each date this representation is made or deemed made, (b) the grant by the
Borrower of the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents and the
validity, enforceability and perfection thereof and the exercise by the Lender
of its rights and remedies thereunder and (c) the construction and operation of
the Project as contemplated by the Project Documents, to be obtained by the
Borrower and to be obtained by any other Person (to the best knowledge of the
Borrower) are set forth in Schedule 3.11 hereto. Except as disclosed in Part C
of Schedule 3.11, each of the Governmental Approvals set forth in Part A and
Part C of Schedule 3.11 hereto and each other Governmental Approval obtained by
the Borrower after the date hereof but on or prior to the date this
representation is made, has been duly obtained or made, is validly issued, is in
full force and effect, is not subject to appeal (it being understood that for
purposes of this Section 3.11, a Governmental Approval shall not be considered
to be subject to appeal if it is being contested or challenged solely by Persons
other than the Governmental Authority which issued the Governmental Approval or
any other Governmental Authority notwithstanding that such contest or challenge
is ongoing) and is free from conditions or requirements compliance with which is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or which the Borrower does
not reasonably expect to be able to satisfy. There is no proceeding pending or,
to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened which is reasonably likely to
result in the rescission, termination, material modification, suspension or
determination of invalidity or lack of effectiveness of any such Governmental
Approval. The information set forth in each application and other written
material submitted by the Borrower to the applicable Governmental Authority in
connection with each such Governmental Approval was accurate and complete in all
material respects at that time (provided, that no representation is made
regarding the accuracy and completeness of any projections, estimates or other
expressions of view as to future circumstances, and provided further that any
such information is further qualified by any disclaimers with respect thereto
included therein). The Borrower has no reason to believe that any Governmental
Approval that has not been obtained by the Borrower, but which will be required
in the future, will not be granted to it in due course, on or prior to the date
when required and free from any condition or requirement compliance with which
is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or which the Borrower
does not reasonably expect to be able to satisfy. The Project, if constructed
and performed in accordance with the Business Plan, will conform to and comply
in all material respects with all covenants, conditions, restrictions and
reservations in the Governmental Approvals and the Project Documents applicable
thereto and




                                       13              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



all Applicable Laws. The Borrower has no reason to believe that the Lender will
not be entitled, without undue expense or delay, to the benefit of each
Governmental Approval set forth on Schedule 3.11 hereto upon the exercise of
remedies under the Security Documents. The Lender has received a true and
complete copy of each Governmental Approval heretofore obtained or received by
the Borrower.

         SECTION 3.12 COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTES, ETC.

         (a) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as set forth in (b) below,

         (b) Environmental Compliance. The Borrower's business and the Project
are being carried out in compliance with the Project Remediation Program.

knowledge, neither the Site nor the Power Plant (nor any other property with
respect to which the Borrower has retained or assumed liability either
contractually or by operation of the law) has been affected by any Hazardous
Material, other than as described in the Project Remediation Program, in a
manner which does or is reasonably likely to give rise to any material liability
of the Borrower under any Environmental Law or which has had or is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.14 PATENTS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES AND FORMULAS. The Borrower
owns or has the right to use all intellectual property including all the
patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses,
franchises and formulas, or rights with respect thereto, and has obtained
assignments of all leases and other rights of whatever nature, necessary for the
present and proposed conduct of its business and the carrying out of the Project
in the manner contemplated by the Project Documents, without any known conflict
with the rights of others which, or the failure to obtain which, as the case may
be, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.15 SUBMISSION TO LAW AND JURISDICTION. The choice of
governing law for each of the respective Project Documents in effect or required
to be in effect as of the Loan I Closing Date will be recognized in the courts
of Nicaragua, and those courts will recognize and give effect to any judgment in
respect of such Project Document obtained by or against the Borrower in the
courts the jurisdictions of which the Borrower has submitted to.

         SECTION 3.16 STATUS OF THE LOANS. The Loans constitute direct,
unconditional, and general obligations of the Borrower and rank senior as to
priority of payment to any or all Indebtedness of the Borrower except as
permitted under Section 5.15(b). Except as permitted by Section 5.16 of this
Agreement, the Borrower has not secured or agreed to secure any such other
Indebtedness by any Lien upon any of its present or future revenues, assets or
properties or upon any shares of stock of the Borrower.

         (b) All Rights Obtained. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, the

the terms of the Project Documents provide or will provide the Borrower with all
rights and property interests required to enable the Borrower to obtain all

rehabilitation, operation and maintenance of the Project, including the
Borrower's full and prompt performance of its obligations, and full and timely

or rights that reasonably can be expected to be obtainable in the ordinary

paid in full or will have been paid in full by the Loan I Closing Date, no fees

enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Project Documents in effect

governing laws selected in such Project Documents, for the enforcement thereof
in such jurisdiction without any further action on the part of the Lender.

         SECTION 3.19 AVAILABILITY AND TRANSFER OF FOREIGN CURRENCY. All

ability of the Borrower to convert into Dollars all sums received in Cordoba
amounts from ENEL, immediately upon receipt thereof, and to use the Dollars as
necessary to perform all of its obligations under the Project Documents, in
accordance with their respective terms. There are no restrictions or
requirements which limit the availability or transfer of foreign exchange, or
the conversion to foreign exchange, for the purpose of the performance by the
Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the other
Project Documents.

         SECTION 3.20 BUSINESS PLAN.

attached hereto as Annex A. The Business Plan accurately specifies, to the best
of the Borrower's knowledge, all costs and expenses incurred and anticipated to

financial institutions that are approved in advance by the Lender; provided,
however, that it shall not be a Default or Event of Default if the balances in
the accounts permitted hereunder exceed such permitted amounts solely as a
result of the Borrower's inability to exchange or transfer local currency, as a

Borrower proceeds diligently in implementing such plan to the Lender's
reasonable satisfaction and provides reports periodically as the Lender may

         SECTION 7.03 INDEMNITIES AND EXPENSES.

         (a) Indemnity Obligation. Subject to Section 7.03(b), whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall
indemnify and hold the Lender and each of its respective officers, directors,
employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person")
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, claims, suits, costs, charges, expenses and
disbursements (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs) of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following
repayment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions
contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or
in connection with any of the foregoing, any investigation, litigation or
proceeding (including any bankruptcy, insolvency proceeding or appellate
proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement, or any other Project
Documents or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof or any Environmental
Claim relating to the Borrower or the Project or arising out of the use of the
Power Plant or Site or any actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on,
under or at the Power Plant or Site, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a
party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities");
provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any
Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The
agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all amounts due under this
Agreement. The Lender and each other Indemnified Person shall (1) use its
reasonable efforts to, upon its becoming aware of any event which may result in
the Borrower being required to perform any of its obligations under this Section
7.03(a), promptly notify the Borrower (provided that failure to so notify shall
not mitigate the obligations of the Borrower hereunder), (2) upon request from
the Borrower consult the Borrower regarding any step (including any step which
may mitigate the effect of such event) it proposes to take in respect of such
event, and (3) obtain the prior written consent of the Borrower before entering
into any settlement or compromise in relation to any such claims, actions or
suits.

         (b) Expenses. The Borrower shall: (i) subject to the last sentence of
this Section 7.03(b) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, pay or reimburse the Lender as soon as practicable but, in any
event, within 30 days after demand for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Lender, in connection with the development, preparation,
negotiation, delivery, printing, registration, administration and execution of,
and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to (in each case, whether
or not consummated), this




                                       42              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



Agreement, any Financing Document and any other documents prepared in connection
herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including reasonable travel expenses, communication costs,
fees and expenses of outside professional or technical advisers or consultants,
and including Attorney Costs incurred by the Lender, with respect thereto; and
(ii) pay or reimburse the Lender as soon as practicable but, in any event,
within 30 days after demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including
Attorney Costs) incurred by them in connection with the enforcement, attempted
enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or
any other Financing Document during the existence of an Event of Default or
after acceleration of the Loans (including in connection with any "workout" or
restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding or appellate proceeding). In addition, the Borrower shall, whether or
not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, pay or reimburse the
Lender on the each of the Loan I Closing Date and Loan II Closing Date for all
accrued and unpaid reasonable costs, fees and expenses to the extent then due
and payable on such date of payment (including Attorney Costs, Commitment Fees
and any amounts arising from any indemnities) incurred by the Lender, prior to
such date in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation,
delivery, printing, administration, enforcement and execution of, and any
amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to (in each case whether or not
consummated), this Agreement, any Financing Document and any other documents
prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, provided that Attorney Costs shall
include such costs to the extent invoiced prior to or on such date of payment.

         (c) Maximum Amount Permitted under Applicable Law. To the extent that
the undertaking in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 7.03 may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower
will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of such undertakings.

         (d) Late Payment. All sums paid and costs incurred by the Lender in
respect to any matter indemnified hereunder shall bear interest at the LIBOR
Overnight Rate plus 4.50% from the date so paid until reimbursed by the
Borrower, and all such sums and costs shall be added to the debt and be secured
by the Security Documents and shall be immediately due and payable on demand.

         (e) Judgment Currency. If any arbitration award, judgment or order is
given or made for the payment of any amount due under this Agreement or any
other Project Document and such arbitration award, judgment or order is
expressed in a currency other than Dollars, the Borrower shall, subject to this
Section 7.03(e), indemnify the Lender against and hold it harmless from all loss
and damage incurred by the Lender as a result of any variation in rates of
exchange between the date of such arbitration award, judgment or order and the
date of payment (or, in the case of partial payments, the date of each partial
payment) thereof. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and
independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement or any other
Project Document, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action,
shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Lender from time to
time, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
arbitration award, judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an
amount due under this Agreement or any other Project Document.





                                       43              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



         SECTION 7.04 SURVIVAL. All indemnities set forth herein and the
obligations of the Borrower to pay additional costs as set forth in Article 2
hereof shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making
and repayment of the Loans.

         SECTION 7.05 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.

         (a) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS
THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

         (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding against
the Borrower with respect to this Agreement, or any Financing Document may be
brought in the courts of the State of New York in the County of New York or of
the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself
and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction
of the aforesaid courts. The Borrower agrees that a judgment, after exhaustion
of all available appeals, in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Borrower, and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction,
including without limitation Nicaragua, by a suit upon such judgment, a
certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment. The
Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation
System, on the date hereof, with offices at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New
York 10011, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and
acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of
any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in
any such action or proceeding. If for any reason such designee, appointee and
agent shall cease to be available to act as such, the Borrower agrees to
designate a new designee, appointee and agent in New York City on the terms and
for the purposes of this provision satisfactory to the Lender. The Borrower
further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the
aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies
thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower, at
its address set forth in Section 7.01 hereof, such service to become effective
30 days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Lender
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in Nicaragua or in any
other jurisdiction.

         (c) Waiver of Procedural Defenses. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement, or any other Financing Document brought in the courts
referred to in clause (b) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees
not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

         (d) Waiver of Jury Trial. WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE
BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, SUCH WAIVER
ACKNOWLEDGED HEREBY AS BEING A VOLUNTARY, KNOWING AND INTELLIGENT WAIVER BY EACH
PARTY HERETO.



                                       44              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



         SECTION 7.06 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

         (a) Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any
part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without obtaining the
prior written consent of the Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any merger,
reincorporation, corporate restructuring or other business combination involving
any shareholder of any Lender (and any other transaction related to such
shareholder which is undertaken in connection with any such transactions) shall
not be construed as an assignment or transfer requiring any consent under this
Section 7.06(a).

         (b) Disposition of Indebtedness. Subject to the following restrictions,
the Lender may at any time sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, or otherwise
dispose of, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement
or the Loans and such sale, assignment, negotiation or disposition shall be
evidenced by an assignment and acceptance agreement, in form and substance
acceptable to the Lender and to the Borrower, appropriately completed and
executed by the assigning Lender and the assignee. Such executed assignment and
acceptance agreement shall be delivered to the Lender and the Borrower
immediately after execution and shall not be effective until all conditions set
forth therein and in this Section 7.06 shall have been satisfied.

            (i) The Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and/or the Loans only to a Person approved by the Borrower (which
approval in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld) in its sole
discretion; provided, that no Borrower approval shall be required in the event
of such an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of the Lender.

            (ii) The exercise of such right by the Lender is subject in all
cases to the conditions that immediately thereafter the Lender shall have given
written notice of any such transfer to the Borrower, and the transferee shall
(a) not have, or shall have effectively waived, any right pursuant to Section
2.09 or 2.14 to claim from the Borrower any additional amounts above and beyond
those which could have been claimed by the transferor had it continued to own
its Loans hereunder and (b) not have any right pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.14
not possessed by the transferor had it continued to own its Loans hereunder.

         (c) Succession. From and after the date that the Lender has received an
executed assignment and acceptance agreement (in accordance with the terms of
Section 7.06(b) and the conditions set forth in such assignment and acceptance
agreement have been satisfied, (i) the assignee Lender thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such assignment and acceptance agreement, shall have
the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Financing
Documents and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents have been assigned
by it pursuant to such assignment and acceptance agreement, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under the Financing Documents.

         (d) Deemed Amendment. Immediately upon the satisfaction of all other
conditions in this Section 7.06 and in such assignment and acceptance agreement,
this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the
extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the assignee Lender and the
resulting adjustment of the Total Commitment arising therefrom.




                                       45              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



The Total Commitment allocated to each assignee Lender shall reduce such Total
Commitment of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

         (e) Disposition Acknowledged Upon Notice. The Borrower may treat the
Lender as the owner of the Loans until written notice of transfer or assignment
shall have been received by it.

         (f) Participations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 7.06, each Lender may grant participations, in whole or in part,
in its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loans without notice
to the Borrower and without restriction; provided that (i) the Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement, and the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the
obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans of the Lender.

         SECTION 7.07 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         SECTION 7.08 RIGHT OF SETOFF. In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to
any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and
to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) including,
without limitation, the accounts established under Sections 5.28(a) and 5.33,
and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lender (including
without limitation by branches and agencies of the Lender, wherever located), to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the
Loans and any other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, under this
Agreement, or any of the other Financing Documents, including, without
limitation, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected
with this Agreement, or any other Financing Document, irrespective of whether or
not the Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said
liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

         SECTION 7.09 NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the
part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or any
other Financing Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the
Lender shall impair any such right, power or privilege or operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or any other Financing Document preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein, or in any other
Financing Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, powers or remedies which the Lender would otherwise have. No notice to
or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of the Lender to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.





                                       46              CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT



         SECTION 7.10 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement and any
other Financing Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability but that shall not invalidate the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or affect such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 7.11 CALCULATION. Except as otherwise provided, all accounts,
financial determinations and calculations to be made under, or for the purposes
of, this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, applied on a
consistent basis and, except as otherwise required to conform to the definitions
contained in Appendix A of this Agreement or any other provisions of this
Agreement, shall be calculated from the then most recently issued quarterly
financial statements which the Borrower is obligated to furnish to the Lender
from time to time, as provided hereunder; provided, however, that (a) if the
relevant quarterly financial statements should be in respect of the last quarter
of a Fiscal Year then such calculations shall be made from the audited financial
statements for the relevant Fiscal Year, and (b) if there should occur any
material adverse change in the financial condition or results of operations of
the Borrower after the end of the period covered by the relevant financial
statements, then such material adverse change shall also be taken into account
in calculating the relevant figures.

         SECTION 7.12 HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE. The headings of the several sections
and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall
not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Agreement.

         SECTION 7.13 AMENDMENT OR WAIVER. Neither this Agreement nor any terms
hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless, such change,
waiver, discharge or termination is in a writing signed by the Lender and the
Borrower.

         SECTION 7.14 DISCLAIMER. The Lender shall not be responsible in any way
for the performance of the Project Documents, and no claim with respect to the
performance of the Project Documents will affect the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement or any other Financing Document.

         SECTION 7.15 PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. To the extent that the Borrower makes
a payment to the Lender or the Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such
payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise, then to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such set-off had not occurred.

         SECTION 7.16 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Lender agrees that it (a)
shall hold all non-public information obtained by it pursuant to the
requirements of the Financing Documents, which have been identified in writing
as non-public information by the Sponsor, in accordance with its customary
procedures for handling confidential information of such nature and in
accordance with reasonable internal practices, and (b) may make disclosure

such party commits fraud or misappropriation of earnings, revenues, profits or

the Project. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein
shall limit, or be construed or deemed to limit, the liability of any

                   PROVISIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE AMENDMENT TO PPA
                [IN SPANISH, EXECUTED IN ESCRITURA PUBLICA FORM]

1.   CLAUSE XII. CAUSES FOR EARLY TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT:

12.2 Early termination of the Contract by ENEL, Section 12.2.3:

The first part of this section - 12.2.3) (i) - establishes that a cause for
early termination of the contract will be a declaration of THE SUPPLIER's
bankruptcy or its bankruptcy petition, always and whenever such petition or
bankruptcy declaration is not dismissed by a competent tribunal in the matter
within a period no greater than sixty (60) calendar days, established as a way
to cure this event. In addition, the second part of this same section - 12.2.3)
(ii) - establishes also that it is a cause for early termination based on the
fact there will have been preceded a suspension of payments petition before a
competent tribunal, for suspension of payments or creditors meeting
[proceedings].

In order, to allow OMPC to have the same cure period of sixty (60) days utilized
for the first part of this clause may be applied as a cure for the second part
of this clause for early termination under the contract. Therefore, we consider
that this section should be amended as follows:

"12.2.3) (ii) ... that there have been submitted a petition before the competent
tribunal for suspension of payments or creditors meeting and that such petition
or declaration for bankruptcy not have been dismissed by a competent tribunal
in the matter within a period no greater than sixty (60) calendar days."

2.   CLAUSE XII. CAUSES FOR EARLY TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT:

12.7 Notice of Early Termination:

This clause does not allow Bank Hapoalim B.M. the opportunity to cure any cause
for early termination that OMPC may incur.

The following text is added to the first paragraph of clause 12.7 in order to
provide Bank Hapoalim with the right to cure any cause for early termination:

"Nothwithstanding the foregoing, ENEL will provide to creditors notified under
Clause 12.6 a period of sixty (60) calendar days, beginning on the date the
Notice to Financiers established under Clause 12.6 has been received, to cure
any cause for early termination established under Clause 12.2 of the Contract
prior to the taking of any action under Clause 12.7."
