Exhibit 10.1

EVERGREEN SOLAR, INC.

CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and
between Rodolfo Archbold (“Executive”) and Evergreen Solar, Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of
July 30, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

RECITALS

     1. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an
acquisition by another company or other change of control. The Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause
Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in
the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the
continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined herein) of the Company.

     2. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to
provide Executive with an incentive to continue his employment and to motivate Executive to
maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its stockholders.

     3. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain benefits upon a
Change of Control and with certain severance benefits upon Executive’s termination of employment
following a Change of Control. These benefits will provide Executive with enhanced financial
security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility
of a Change of Control.

     4. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 7 below.

AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have a term of three (3) years commencing
on the Effective Date. On the third anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each annual
anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, this Agreement automatically will renew for an
additional one (1)-year term unless either party provides the other party with written notice of
non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of automatic renewal.

     2. At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s
employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law, except as may
otherwise be specifically provided under the terms of any written formal employment agreement
between the Company and Executive (an “Employment Agreement”). If Executive’s employment
terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination not set for in Section 4

 

 

hereof, Executive will not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages, awards or
compensation other than as provided by this Agreement or under Executive’s Employment Agreement.

     3. Acceleration of Vesting on Change of Control. Upon the consummation of a Change of
Control (i) Executive’s outstanding equity awards, including without limitation stock options and
restricted stock, will immediately vest and become exercisable or become released from the
Company’s repurchase or reacquisition right as to (A) that number of unvested shares that would
have vested during the period between the equity awards’ most recent vesting date (or grant date
if no vesting date has been reached) and the Change of Control if the equity awards had been
granted with a monthly vesting schedule and (B) that number of unvested shares that would have
otherwise vested during the last twelve (12) months of each equity awards’ vesting schedule, and
(ii) all performance targets for all of Executive’s performance-based equity awards will be deemed
fully achieved on the first anniversary of the Change of Control if Executive is employed on such
date.

     4. Severance Benefits.

          (a) Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change
of Control. If the Company or its Affiliates terminate Executive’s employment with the Company
or its Affiliates, respectively, without Cause or Executive resigns from such employment for Good
Reason within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, and Executive signs and does not
revoke a separation agreement and release of claims with the Company (in a form acceptable to the
Company), then Executive will receive the following severance from the Company:

               (i) Accrued Compensation. The Company will pay Executive all accrued but unpaid
vacation, expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to Executive under any
Company-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.

               (ii) Severance Payment. Executive will receive monthly severance payments (less
applicable withholding taxes) for twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination equal to (A)
one-twelfth of Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to Executive’s
termination date or (if greater) at the level in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control,
and (B) one-twelfth of Executive’s target bonus for the year of Executive’s termination. Subject
to Section 5, the Company will pay the severance payments to which Executive is entitled as salary
continuation on the same basis and timing as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control.

               (iii) Equity. All of Executive’s outstanding equity awards, including without
limitation stock options and restricted stock, will immediately vest and become exercisable or
become released from the Company’s repurchase or reacquisition right.

               (iv) Continued Employee Benefits. Executive will receive Company-paid coverage for a
period of twelve (12) months for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s
Benefit Plans.

     For purposes of this Section 4(a), if Executive’s employment with the Company or one of its
Affiliates terminates, he will not be determined to have been terminated without Cause, if he

 

 

continues to remain employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates (e.g., upon transfer from
one Affiliate to another); provided, however, that the parties understand and acknowledge that any
such termination could potentially result in Executive’s ability to resign for Good Reason.

          (b) Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the
Company or its Affiliates terminates (i) voluntarily by Executive (other than for Good Reason
within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control) or (ii) for Cause by the Company, then
Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as
may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans and
practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including, without limitation,
any Employment Agreement.

          (c) Disability; Death. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment as a result
of Executive’s Disability, or Executive’s employment terminates due to his death, then Executive
will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then
be established under the Company’s then existing written severance and benefits plans and practices
or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including, without limitation, any
Employment Agreement.

          (d) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment as set
forth in Section 4(a), the provisions of this Section 4 are intended to be and are exclusive and in
lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled,
whether at law, tort, contract, or in equity. Executive will be entitled to no benefits,
compensation or other payments or rights upon termination of employment following a Change of
Control other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 4.

     5. Code Section 409A.

          (a) Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if
Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder
(“Section 409A”) at the time of Executive’s termination, and the severance payable to Executive, if
any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or
separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the
“Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”) will not and could not under any circumstances,
regardless of when such termination occurs, be paid in full by the fifteenth day of the third month
of the Company’s fiscal year following Executive’s termination, then only that portion of the
Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits which do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined
below) may be made within the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment
in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each such payment or benefit. For these
purposes, each severance payment and benefit is hereby designated as a separate payment and will
not collectively be treated as a single payment. Any portion of the Deferred Compensation
Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit shall accrue and, to the extent such
portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits would otherwise have been payable within
the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment, will become payable on
the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following
the date of

 

 

Executive’s termination of employment. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation
Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each
payment or benefit.

          (b) Amendment. This provision is intended to comply with the requirements of Section
409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject
to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to
so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments
to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable
to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to
Executive under Section 409A.

     6. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits
provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute
payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 6, would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s severance benefits
under Section 4 will be either:

	 	(a)	 	delivered in full, or
	 
	 	(b)	 	delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no
portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section
4999 of the Code,

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local
income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an
after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some
portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the
Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6
will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to Change
of Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive
and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section
6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes
and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G
and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information
and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this
Section 6. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with
any calculations contemplated by this Section 6.

     7. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have
the following meanings:

          (a) Affiliate. “Affiliate” means the Company and any other parent or subsidiary
corporation of the Company, as such terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code.

          (b) Benefit Plans. “Benefit Plans” means plans, policies or arrangements that the
Company sponsors (or participates in) and that immediately prior to Executive’s termination of
employment provide Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents with medical, dental, vision

 

 

and similar benefits. Benefit Plans do not include any other type of benefit (including, but
not by way of limitation, disability, life insurance or retirement benefits). A requirement that
the Company provide Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents with coverage under the Benefit
Plans will not be satisfied unless the coverage is no less favorable than that provided to
executives of the Company at any applicable time during the period Executive is entitled to receive
severance pursuant to Section 4. The Company may, at its option, satisfy any requirement that the
Company provide coverage under any Benefit Plan by (i) reimbursing Executive’s premiums under Title
X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) after Executive has
properly elected continuation coverage under COBRA (in which case Executive will be solely
responsible for electing such coverage for his eligible dependents), or (ii) providing coverage
under a separate plan or plans providing coverage that is no less favorable or by paying Executive
a lump-sum payment which is, on an after-tax basis, sufficient to provide Executive and Executive’s
eligible dependents with equivalent coverage under a third party plan that is reasonably available
to Executive and Executive’ s eligible dependents.

          (c) Cause. “Cause” will mean:

               (i) A willful failure by Executive to perform Executive’s duties to the Company;

               (ii) A willful act by Executive that constitutes misconduct and that is injurious to the
Company;

               (iii) Circumstances where Executive willfully imparts material confidential information
relating to the Company or its business to competitors or to other third parties other than as
authorized in the course of carrying out Executive’s duties;

               (iv) A material and willful violation by Executive of a federal or state law or regulation
applicable to the business of the Company; or

               (v) Executive’s conviction or plea of guilty or no contest to a felony.

     No act or failure to act by Executive will be considered “willful” unless committed without
good faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the Company’s best
interest.

          (d) Change of Control. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the
following:

               (i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of
the total voting power represented by, or fifty percent (50%) or more of the fair value of, the
Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

               (ii) Any action or event occurring within a one (1)-year period, as a result of which less
than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” will

 

 

mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are
elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of a majority of the
Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination;

               (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation,
other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or
by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity, including any
parent holding company) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the
voting securities of the Company or such surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation; or

               (iv) The consummation of the sale, lease or other disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all the Company’s assets.

          (e) Disability. “Disability” will mean that Executive has been unable to perform his
Company duties as the result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such
inability, at least twenty-six (26) weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and
permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to Executive or
Executive’s legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably
withheld). Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at least thirty (30)
days’ written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In the
event that Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of Executive’s duties hereunder
before the termination of Executive’s employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to
terminate will automatically be deemed to have been revoked.

          (f) Good Reason. “Good Reason” will mean the occurrence of one or more of the
following, without the Executive’s consent:

               (i) A material reduction of Executive’s duties, title, authority or responsibilities in effect
immediately prior to a Change of Control;

               (ii) A material reduction in Executive’s base salary;

               (iii) The failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the Agreement by the successor;
or

               (iv) A material change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform services (in
other words, the relocation of Executive to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles
from Executive’s then present location).

Provided, however, that before Executive may resign for Good Reason, (A) Executive must provide the
Company with written notice within ninety (90) days of the event that Executive believes
constitutes “Good Reason” specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting the grounds
for Good Reason and (B) the Company must have an opportunity within thirty (30) days following
delivery of such notice to cure the Good Reason condition.

 

 

          (g) Section 409A Limit. “Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times:
(i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during
the Company’s taxable year preceding the Company’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of
employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal
Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken
into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in
which Executive’s employment is terminated.

     8. Successors.

          (a) The Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or
indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) or to all or
substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets will assume the obligations under this
Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this Agreement in the same manner
and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence
of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” will include any
successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption
agreement described in this Section 8(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by
operation of law.

          (b) Executive’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of Executive
hereunder will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     9. Notice.

          (a) General. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement will
be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed
by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of
Executive, mailed notices will be addressed to him at the home address which he most recently
communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices will be
addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices will be directed to the attention of its
President.

          (b) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive
for Good Reason will be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in
accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement. Such notice will indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon, will set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and will
specify the termination date (which will be not more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such
notice).

     10. Arbitration. Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes arising
out of, or relating to, the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters
herein, will be subject to binding arbitration in Middlesex County, Massachusetts before the
Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (“JAMS”) pursuant to its employment arbitration rules &
procedures (“JAMS

 

 

Rules”). The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with
Massachusetts law, including the Massachusetts Code of Civil Procedure, and the arbitrator shall
apply substantive and procedural Massachusetts law to any dispute or claim, without reference to
any conflict-of-law provisions of any jurisdiction. To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict
with Massachusetts law, Massachusetts law will take precedence. The Company and Executive agree
that the prevailing party in any arbitration will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of
competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The Company and Executive agree that the
prevailing party in any arbitration will be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The
Company and Executive hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute with the other party
resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. This Section 10 will not prevent either party from
seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over
the parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to Executive’s obligations under this
Agreement and the agreements incorporated herein by reference.

     11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          (a) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any such payment be reduced by any earnings that
Executive may receive from any other source.

          (b) Waiver. No provision of this Agreement will be modified, waived or discharged
unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by
an authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any
breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party
will be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or
provision at another time.

          (c) Headings. All captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for
convenient reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.

          (d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any Employment Agreement,
constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes in their entirety all prior
representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether
expressed or implied) of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided
in Section 5 of this Agreement, no waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of
this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of
the parties hereto and which specifically mention this Agreement.

          (e) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts (with the exception of its
conflict of laws provisions). Any claims or legal actions by one party against the other arising
out of the relationship between the parties contemplated herein (whether or not arising under this
Agreement) will be commenced or maintained in any state or federal court located in the
jurisdiction where Executive resides, and Executive and the Company hereby submit to the
jurisdiction and venue of any such court.

 

 

          (f) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions
of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof,
which will remain in full force and effect.

          (g) Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to
withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.

          (h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will
be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

		Section 2.2.
		           Closing Date; Procedure for Closing.
	 

	 	 	                (a)           Closing
			 Date. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the
			 “Closing”) shall take place after 12:00 noon, New York City
			 time, on the Scheduled Closing Date or such other date as the parties hereto
			 shall mutually agree (the “Closing 

	 
		4
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	Date”), at the offices of Akin
			 Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP located at 590 Madison Avenue, New York, New
			 York 10022, or at such other place as the parties hereto shall mutually
			 agree.
		 
	 	                (b)           Procedures
			 for Funding. Unless the Closing Date shall have been postponed
			 pursuant to Section 2.2(c), subject to the terms and conditions of this
			 Participation Agreement, the Owner Participant shall make the Owner
			 Participant’s Commitment available not later than 12:00 noon, New York
			 City time, on the Scheduled Closing Date, by transferring or delivering such
			 amount, in funds immediately available on such Scheduled Closing Date, to the
			 Trust Company in New York, New York. All funds made available pursuant to this
			 Section 2.2(b) will be held by the Trust Company in trust for the Owner
			 Participant and shall not be part of the Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate,
			 shall be invested by the Trust Company in accordance with Section 2.2(d)
			 below and such funds shall remain the sole property of the Owner Participant
			 unless and until released by the Owner Participant and made available to the
			 Lessor and applied to pay the Purchase Price or Transaction Expenses or
			 returned to the Owner Participant, as provided in this Agreement.
		 
	 	                (c)           Postponement
			 of the Closing. The Scheduled Closing Date may be postponed from time
			 to time for any reason if the Lessee gives the Owner Participant, the Lessor,
			 the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Pass Through Trustee a
			 facsimile or telephonic (confirmed in writing) notice of such postponement and
			 notice of the date to which the Closing has been postponed, such notice of
			 postponement to be received by each party no later than noon, New York City
			 time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Scheduled Closing Date. If,
			 prior to receipt of a postponement notice under this Section 2.2(c), the
			 Owner Participant shall have provided funds in accordance with Section
			 2.2(b), such funds shall be returned to the Owner Participant, as soon as
			 reasonably practicable but in no event later than the Business Day following
			 the date of such notice, unless the Owner Participant shall have otherwise
			 directed.
		 
	 	                (d)           Investment
			 of Funds. If, on or prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, the Owner
			 Participant has made the Owner Participant’s Commitment available to the
			 Trust Company in accordance with Section 2.2(b), the Closing does not
			 occur on such date and the Trust Company is unable to return such funds to the
			 Owner Participant on such date, the Trust Company shall, subject to
			 Section 2.2(b) above, use reasonable efforts to invest such funds
			 from time to time at the written direction of the Lessee, and at the
			 Lessee’s sole expense and risk, in Permitted Investments described in
			 clause (h) of the definition thereof until such funds can be returned to
			 the Owner Participant. If, on or prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, the Owner
			 Participant has made the Owner Participant’s Commitment available to the
			 Trust Company in accordance with Section 2.2(b), the Closing does
			 not occur on such date and the Trust Company has not returned such funds to the
			 Owner Participant by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, then the
			 Lessee shall reimburse the Owner Participant for loss of the use of such funds
			 at the Applicable Rate for each day, from and including the Scheduled Closing
			 Date to, but excluding the 

	 
		5
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	earlier of,
			 (i) the day that such funds have been returned to the Owner Participant
			 pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (funds received by the Owner Participant
			 after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day shall be deemed to be returned
			 on the next succeeding Business Day) and (ii) the Closing Date. Subject to
			 payment for the account of the Owner Participant of any reimbursement for loss
			 of use of funds due to it at the Applicable Rate, any net gain realized on the
			 investment of such funds (including interest) to the extent actually received
			 by the Trust Company shall be paid to the Lessee by the Trust Company on the
			 earlier of (A) the date such funds are returned to the Owner Participant
			 pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and (B) the Closing Date. The Trust Company
			 shall not be liable for any interest on or loss resulting from such investments
			 and, if such funds are made available to the Lessor and utilized to pay the
			 Purchase Price or Transaction Expenses on the Closing Date, the Lessee shall
			 reimburse the Lessor for any net loss realized on the investment of such funds.
			 If such funds are not so utilized, the Lessee shall, in addition to its
			 obligation to reimburse the Owner Participant for loss of use as provided
			 above, reimburse the Owner Participant on the date such funds are returned to
			 the Owner Participant for any net loss realized on the investment of such
			 funds. In order to obtain funds for payment of the Purchase Price or
			 Transaction Expenses or to return funds made available to the Trust Company by
			 the Owner Participant, the Trust Company is authorized, at the direction of the
			 Owner Participant, to sell any investments or obligations purchased as
			 aforesaid.
		 
	 	                (e)           Expiration
			 of Commitments. The obligation of the Owner Participant to make its
			 Equity Investment shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September
			 30, 2007. If the Closing Date has not occurred on or before such date the
			 Transaction Parties shall have no obligation to consummate the transactions
			 contemplated under this Agreement and, except as provided in Sections
			 2.3, 9.1 and 9.2, all obligations of the Transaction Parties
			 shall cease and terminate.

	 
		Section 2.3.
		          Transaction Expenses.
	 

	 	 	                (a)           If
			 the Overall Transaction is consummated, (i) the Lessor agrees to promptly
			 pay all Transaction Expenses upon receipt of detailed invoices (provided
			 that legal bills may be redacted to preserve attorney-client privilege) (or,
			 with respect to Transaction Expenses payable by the Lessor that have previously
			 been paid by the Lessee with the consent of the Owner Participant, the Lessor
			 agrees to reimburse the Lessee therefor promptly upon request by the Lessee);
			 provided, however, that in no event shall the Lessor be obligated to pay any
			 portion of such Transaction Expenses to the extent that the payment of such
			 portion would cause the aggregate amount of all such Transaction Expenses paid
			 by the Lessor to exceed an amount equal to the Lessor Expense Cap. If the
			 aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses exceeds the Lessor Expense Cap, the
			 Lessor and the Lessee shall cooperate in good faith to allocate the Transaction
			 Expenses with the intention that, to the maximum extent possible, the Lessee
			 pays only those expenses properly attributable to the Lessee; provided,
			 however, that the Lessor shall not pay any Transaction Expenses in excess
			 of the Lessor Expense Cap.

	 	 	                (b)           If
			 the Overall Transaction is not consummated for any reason (including as a
			 result of the Lessee electing not to close the Overall Transaction pursuant to
			 Section 12.1), then the Lessee shall pay all Transaction Expenses upon
			 receipt of detailed invoices; provided, however, that the Lessee shall
			 not be obligated to pay the out-of-pocket expenses of the Lessor and the Owner
			 Participant (which out-of-pocket expenses do not include the fees and expenses
			 of the Appraiser, the Engineering Consultant, Thorndike Landing LLC, Arcadis,
			 MPR Associates, Inc., the Environmental Consultant and Insurance Consultant) or
			 the legal fees and expenses of their counsel if the Overall Transaction is not
			 consummated due to a failure of the Owner Participant to negotiate in good
			 faith or to have obtained its internal approvals for reasons other than arising
			 out of its due diligence review of the Lease Transaction, the Generating
			 Station, the Lessee and the Guarantor. 
		 
	 	                (c)           Following
			 the Closing Date, the Lessee will be responsible for, and will pay as
			 Supplemental Rent on an After-Tax Basis to the Owner Participant, the annual

			 fees and expenses of its outside counsel) of the Trust Company (in its
			 individual capacity or as Owner Trustee), the Account Bank, the Indenture
			 Trustee and the Pass Through Trustee.

	 
		SECTION 3.
		          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
	 

	 
		Section 3.1.
		           Representations and Warranties of the
		Lessee.
	 

	 
		                The Lessee represents and warrants that,
		except as set forth in the applicable section of the disclosure schedule
		attached hereto as Schedule 3.1 (the “Lessee Disclosure
		Schedule”), as of the date of execution and delivery hereof and as of
		the Closing Date:
	 

	 	 	                (a)           Organization,
			 Good Standing. The Lessee is a corporation duly organized, validly
			 existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Lessee
			 is duly qualified to do business in each other jurisdiction where the nature of
			 its business requires such qualification other than any such jurisdiction where
			 the failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
			 The Lessee has all requisite power and authority to own its assets, conduct its
			 business and execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Lessee
			 Documents.
		 
	 	                (b)           Lessee
			 Documents. With respect to its obligations under the Lessee
			 Documents:
		 

	 	 	                (i)            The
			 Lessee has taken all action required for the due execution, delivery and
			 performance of the Lessee Documents;
		 
	 	                (ii)           The
			 Lessee’s obligations under the Lessee Documents are legal, valid, binding
			 and enforceable, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
			 insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Applicable 

	 
		7
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	Laws
			 affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of
			 equity; and
		 
	 	                (iii)          The
			 execution, delivery and performance of the Lessee Documents does not
			 (a) result in any breach of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or
			 any material agreement, contract or instrument to which the Lessee is a party
			 or by which any of its property or assets is bound, (b) conflict with any
			 Applicable Law which reasonably would be expected to result in a Material
			 Adverse Effect, or (c) result in the creation of any Lien (with the
			 exception of Permitted Liens) upon any of the property or assets of the Lessee
			 pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit
			 agreement or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to which the
			 Lessee is a party or by which any of its property or assets is
			 bound.
		 

	 	 	                (c)           Governmental Approvals.
			  All Permits which are required to be obtained (as of the date this
			 representation is made or deemed to be made) (1) by the FirstEnergy Parties in
			 connection with the execution and delivery of, or performance of the
			 transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, the other Operative Documents and
			 the Operating Agreement, (2) to the Actual Knowledge of Lessee with respect to
			 the participation by the Owner Participant, the OP Guarantor and the Lessor in
			 the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Operative
			 Documents, and (3) in connection with (i) the operation and maintenance of
			 the Facility and the Ancillary Facilities, (ii) the issuance of the Pass
			 Through Certificates and the execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee
			 of the Lessee Documents, and (iii) the leasing of the Undivided Interest,
			 have been obtained, were validly issued and are in full force and effect on the
			 date hereof. A list of all such Permits is set forth on Part I of
			 Schedule 4.5 hereof (all such Permits, including those set forth on
			 Part II of Schedule 4.5 hereof, collectively, the
			 “Governmental Approvals”). The Lessee has received uncontested
			 FERC orders authorizing the Facility Lease pursuant to Section 203 of the FPA
			 and all Governmental Approvals that have been obtained pursuant to the first
			 sentence of this Section 3.1(c) are final and any period for the filing
			 of notice of rehearing or application for judicial review of the issuance of
			 each such Governmental Approval has expired without any such notice or
			 application having been made (in each case, other than those for which the
			 failure to be final would not have a Material Adverse Effect). No such
			 Governmental Approval is the subject of any pending or, to the Actual Knowledge
			 of the Lessee, threatened judicial or administrative proceeding, which judicial
			 review or proceeding could have a Material Adverse Effect. Each FirstEnergy
			 Party is in compliance with all Governmental Approvals required to be obtained
			 by it as of the date this representation is made or deemed to be made unless
			 such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
			 Adverse Effect. The Lessee does not have any reason to believe that it will be
			 unable to obtain the Governmental Approvals that are not required to be
			 obtained prior to the date this representation is made or deemed to be made,
			 which Governmental Approvals are set forth on Part II of Schedule
			 4.5, in the ordinary course of business and at such time or times as may be
			 necessary to avoid any 

	 
		8
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	substantial
			 delay in, or material impairment to, the performance of the transactions as
			 contemplated by the Operative Documents and the Operating
			 Agreement.
		 
	 	                (d)           Litigation.
			  There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings at law or in
			 equity by or before any Governmental Entity pending against the Lessee or, to
			 its Actual Knowledge, threatened against the Lessee, or any property or other
			 assets or rights of the Lessee or with respect to any Operative Document, the
			 Operating Agreement, the Generating Station, the Facility or the Undivided
			 Interest which (i) questions the validity of the Operative Documents or the
			 ability of the Lessee to perform its obligations under the Lessee Documents or
			 (ii) if determined adversely to it, would reasonably be expected to result in a
			 Material Adverse Effect.
		 
	 	                (e)           Taxes.
			  The Lessee has filed, or caused to be filed, all material Tax and
			 information returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction
			 and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or pursuant
			 to an assessment received by the Lessee, other than Taxes and assessments which
			 are being diligently contested in good faith by the Lessee and with respect to
			 which adequate reserves have to the extent required by GAAP been set aside, and
			 the Lessee does not have Actual Knowledge of any threatened actual or proposed
			 deficiency or additional assessment in connection therewith that, either in any
			 case or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material
			 Adverse Effect.
		 
	 	                (f)            Use
			 o f Proceeds.  No part of the proceeds of the
			 Purchase Price to be received by the Lessee, if any, will be used for the
			 purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any
			 “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) or to extend credit
			 to others for such purpose. No part of the proceeds of the Purchase Price to be
			 received by the Lessee, if any, will be used, whether directly or indirectly,
			 and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose which
			 entails a violation of, or which is inconsistent with, Section 7 of the
			 Exchange Act or any regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without
			 limitation, Regulations T, U and X promulgated by the Board of Governors
			 of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. Sections 207, 220, 221 and
			 224, respectively).
		 
	 	                (g)           Investment
			 Company.  Neither the Lessee nor any of its Affiliates is an
			 “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
			 “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company
			 Act.
		 
	 	                (h)           Adequate
			 Rights.  Based upon the Lessee’s reasonable expectations, and
			 subject to obtaining any necessary Permits, which under any Applicable Law on
			 the Closing Date the Lessor would be able to obtain upon or before the
			 expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, the rights and interests
			 made available to the Lessor pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Operating
			 Agreement and the other Operative Documents, permit on a commercially
			 practicable basis after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease
			 Term, (i) the occupation, use, operation, leasing, possession,
			 maintenance, replacement, renewal and repair by or on behalf of the Lessor of
			 the 

	 
		9
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	Undivided
			 Interest and the ability of the Lessor to make all reasonably contemplated
			 necessary or desirable alterations, Modifications, additions, accessions,
			 improvements, appurtenances, replacements and substitutions thereof and
			 thereto, subject to the provisions of the Operative Documents,
			 (ii) appropriate ingress to and egress by the Lessor from the Facility
			 Site and the Undivided Interest for any reasonable purpose in connection with
			 the exercise of rights under the Support Agreement, the Operating Agreement and
			 the Site Lease and with the Lessor’s Interest, (iii) the procurement
			 of other rights, supplies and services necessary or appropriate to utilize the
			 Undivided Interest in a commercial manner (including, without limitation,
			 access to fuel transport, storage and handling facilities, adequate land-fill
			 or other waste disposal facilities and water, sewage and all other required
			 utilities, in each case necessary or advisable for the commercial utilization
			 of the Facility) and (iv) transmission services from the Undivided Interest
			 sufficient to enable the Lessor to sell the output of the Undivided
			 Interest.
		 
	 	                (i)            Disclosure.
			  Neither the financial statements nor any written statement furnished by
			 or on behalf of the Lessee in connection with the negotiation of the Facility
			 Lease or any other Lessee Document contains any untrue statement of a material
			 fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements contained
			 therein or herein not misleading. There is no fact known to the Lessee that has
			 not been disclosed in writing to the other parties hereto or to (i) the
			 Engineering Consultant in connection with the preparation of the Engineering
			 Report, (ii) the Appraiser in connection with the preparation of the Closing
			 Appraisal, (iii) the Environmental Consultant in connection with the
			 preparation of the Environmental Report, and (iv) the Insurance Consultant in
			 connection with the preparation of the Insurance Consultant’s report that
			 would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the ability
			 of the Lessee to perform its obligations under the Operative
			 Documents.
		 
	 	                (j)           
			 ERISA.
		 

	 	 	                (i)            The
			 Lessee and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in
			 compliance with all Applicable Laws except for such instances of noncompliance
			 as have not resulted in and would not reasonably be expected to result in a
			 Material Adverse Effect. The Lessee does not have, nor does it reasonably
			 expect to have, any material obligation or liability, other than periodic
			 contributions paid in the normal course of business, under or with respect to
			 any Plan that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
			 Effect.
		 
	 	                (ii)           The
			 execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Operative Documents by
			 the Transaction Parties will not involve any “prohibited transaction”
			 within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. The
			 representation by the Lessee in this subparagraph is made in reliance upon and
			 subject to the accuracy of the representations of the Owner Participant as to
			 the source of funds for the Owner Participant’s investment and the
			 representations of the Lead Initial Purchaser in the Purchase Agreement and the
			 

	 
		10
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	deemed
			 representations of each subsequent purchaser of the Pass Through Certificates
			 as to the source of funds used to purchase the Pass Through
			 Certificates.
		 

	 	 	                (k)           Patents
			 and Trademarks. To the Lessee’s Actual Knowledge, the Lessee owns
			 or possesses or has the right to use all the patents, patent rights,
			 trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and similar rights
			 necessary for the use and operation of the Facility, without any conflict known
			 to it with the actual or asserted rights of others which would have a Material
			 Adverse Effect on the Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under
			 the Lessee Documents.
		 
	 	                (l)            Regulatory
			 Jurisdiction.  To the Lessee’s Actual Knowledge, no event or
			 condition which would, or with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or
			 both, constitute a Regulatory Event of Loss will occur solely by reason of the
			 execution and delivery of the Lessee Documents or (except with respect to the
			 exercise by any Person of any control over the Undivided Interest upon the
			 occurrence of a Lease Event of Default or the expiration or other termination
			 of the Facility Lease) the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
			 hereby or thereby, except as a result of regulation the applicability of which
			 depends on the existence of facts in addition to the ownership of the Undivided
			 Interest upon the exercise of remedies under the Facility Lease or upon the
			 expiration of the Facility Lease.
		 
	 	                (m)         
			 Title; Liens.
		 

	 	 	                (i)            The
			 Lessee has good and valid title to the Undivided Interest, the Ancillary
			 Facilities and a 93.825% undivided interest in the Facility Site, in each case
			 free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and Permitted
			 Encumbrances.
		 
	 	                (ii)           Upon
			 execution and delivery of the Lessee Documents and recording or filing (as
			 appropriate) of the Permits referred to in Part I of Schedule 4.5
			 which are required to be recorded or filed, as noted therein, (A) good and
			 valid title to the Undivided Interest will have been duly, validly and
			 effectively conveyed and transferred to the Lessor, and the Lessor shall hold
			 such title, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and
			 Permitted Encumbrances, and (B) a good and valid leasehold interest in the
			 Ground Interest will have been duly, validly and effectively granted to the
			 Lessor upon the terms and conditions in the Site Lease, and the Lessor shall
			 hold such interest, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and
			 Permitted Encumbrances. The descriptions of the Undivided Interest and the
			 Facility Site set forth herein and in the Facility Lease and the Site Lease,
			 respectively, are true, complete and accurate descriptions of the property
			 leased thereunder, and the Facility is located wholly within the boundaries of
			 the Facility Site, without any material encroachments therefrom.

	 
		11
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	                (iii)          When
			 duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto, the
			 Indenture will create a valid and, when the required Permits noted on Part
			 I of Schedule 4.5 have been obtained, first priority perfected Lien
			 in favor of the Indenture Trustee in the Indenture Estate to the extent such
			 Lien may be perfected by obtaining any Permits, and no other Permit from, or
			 payment of any fees to, any Governmental Entity will be necessary to establish
			 or to perfect, or give record notice of, the Lien in favor of the Indenture
			 Trustee in the Indenture Estate.
		 
	 	                (iv)          None
			 of the Permitted Encumbrances will, on and after the Closing Date, materially
			 adversely interfere with the use, operation or possession of the Facility and
			 the Ancillary Facilities (as contemplated by the Lessee Documents) or the use
			 of or the exercise by the Lessor of its rights under the Bill of Sale, the Site
			 Lease, the Site Sublease or the Facility Lease.
		 

	 	 	                (n)           No
			 Defaults.  No Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred
			 and is continuing.
		 
	 	                (o)           Fees.
			  Neither the Lessee nor any Person authorized or employed by the Lessee as
			 agent or otherwise has taken any action the effect of which would be to cause
			 the Owner Participant, the Lessor or the Trust Company (in its individual
			 capacity or as Owner Trustee) to be liable for any brokers’,
			 finders’, agents’ or advisors’ fees or commissions or costs of
			 any nature or kind claimed by or on behalf of brokers, finders, agents or
			 advisors in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Lessee Documents,
			 other than fees, commissions and costs included in Transaction
			 Expenses.
		 
	 	                (p)           Financial
			 Reports.  The consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor
			 and its subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) contained in the
			 Guarantor’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended
			 December 31, 2006 (which includes consolidated balance sheets for each of
			 the years 2005 and 2006 and income statements for each of the three years in
			 the period ended December 31, 2006), certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
			 independent public accountants, and the Guarantor’s unaudited quarterly
			 financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 (collectively,
			 the “Financial Reports”) present fairly, in all material
			 respects, the financial condition of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries (on a
			 consolidated basis) as of the dates indicated therein and the consolidated
			 results of operations and changes in financial position or, if applicable,
			 changes in cash flow for the periods therein specified. 
		 
	 	                (q)           Filing
			 Information.  The principal place of business and chief executive
			 office (as such term is used in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
			 Code) of the Lessee is located at 76 South Main Street, Akron,
			 Ohio 44308. The Lessee’s true legal name (as registered in the State
			 of Ohio, the jurisdiction of its incorporation) is FirstEnergy Generation

	 	 	                (r)            Applicable
			 Laws.   The Lessee, the Generating Station and the commercial
			 operation and Use of the Generating Station are in compliance with all
			 Applicable Laws, including Environmental Laws, the Consent Decree and any other
			 administrative or judicial orders, agreements or decrees by, with or of any
			 Governmental Entity, other than such non-compliance that would not,
			 individually or in the aggregate, (i) have a Material Adverse Effect,
			 (ii) impose any material penalty on, or result in the imposition of any
			 criminal liability on, any Indemnified Party or (iii) have a material
			 adverse effect on the Undivided Interest or the commercial operation or use
			 thereof. 
		 
	 	                (s)           No
			 Taxes.  No sales, use, transfer, documentation, real estate or
			 similar taxes, fees or other charges are payable on the Closing Date for the
			 Undivided Interest or the Facility Site (or the lease of either) in connection
			 with the entering into, or performance under, or enforcement of any Lessee
			 Document with respect thereto, except such taxes, fees and other charges as
			 have been paid or will be paid by the Lessee when due or are included in the
			 Transaction Expenses. 
		 
	 	                (t)            No
			 Event of Loss; Etc.  No Event of Loss or Burdensome Termination
			 Event has occurred and no event or condition has occurred which would, with the
			 passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute an Event of Loss
			 or a Burdensome Termination Event.
		 
	 	                (u)           Securities
			 Act. Neither the Lessee nor the Lessee’s Advisor has directly or
			 indirectly offered or sold any interest in the Facility or the Notes or any
			 part thereof, or in any similar security, the offering of which for the
			 purposes of the Securities Act would be deemed to be part of the same offering
			 as the offering of the Facility or the Notes or any part thereof, or solicited
			 any offer to acquire any of the same in violation of the registration
			 requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. The Lessee has only authorized
			 and employed the Lessee’s Advisor to act as agent, broker, finder,
			 financial advisor or otherwise in connection with the offering of interests in
			 the Facility. 
		 
	 	                (v)           Regulatory
			 Status. On or before the Closing Date, (i) the Lessee meets the

	 	 	                (w)          Eminent
			 Domain.   There is no action pending or, to the Lessee’s
			 Actual Knowledge, threatened by a Governmental Entity or other Person to
			 initiate a taking or use of the Undivided Interest, the Facility or the
			 Facility Site through condemnation, seizure, requisition of title, power of
			 eminent domain or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to have an
			 adverse effect on the value, utility or useful life of the Facility (or the

			 as disclosed to the Owner Participant in writing, the Lessee has not received
			 written notice of any, and does not have Actual Knowledge of any threatened,
			 unresolved material (A) claims, complaints, notices or requests for information
			 received by any FirstEnergy Party with respect to any alleged violation by such
			 FirstEnergy Party of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the
			 Generating Station, the Facility, the Ancillary Facilities and the Facility
			 Site, or (B) complaints, notices or inquiries to any FirstEnergy Party
			 regarding potential liability or any investigatory, corrective or remedial

			 investigation or clean-up.
		 
	 	                (v)           To
			 the Actual Knowledge of the Lessee, no conditions are present or exist at, on,

	 	 	Facilities
			 and the Facility Site or at any other location (including any location to which
			 Hazardous Substances have been sent for re-use or for recycling or for
			 treatment, storage or disposal) and no releases of Hazardous Substances have
			 occurred, which could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability or an
			 investigatory, corrective or remedial obligation under any applicable
			 Environmental Law resulting in a Material Adverse Effect.
		 
	 	                (vi)          There
			 are no unsatisfied or unfulfilled obligations or liabilities under the Consent
			 Decree or any other administrative or judicial orders, agreements or decrees

			 The Lessee owns or is entitled to (as a matter of law or contract), and has

	 	 	                (y)           Access;
			 Egress. The Lessee has sufficient access to public roads, easements of
			 ingress and egress and other rights of access to permit use and operation of
			 the Facility and the Facility Site as contemplated by the Lessee Documents. To
			 the Lessee’s Actual Knowledge, there are no plans of any Governmental
			 Entity to change the highway or road system in the vicinity of the Facility or
			 the Facility Site, or to restrict or change access from any such highway or
			 road to the Facility or the Facility Site, in either case, in any manner which
			 would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the use,
			 occupancy or operation of the Facility Site or the Facility.
		 
	 	                (z)            Utility
			 Services. The Facility and the Facility Site have available all public
			 utility services necessary for the use and operation of the Facility as
			 currently being used and as contemplated by the Lessee Documents.
		 
	 	                (aa)         Notices.
			 To the Lessee’s Actual Knowledge, (i) there are no outstanding written
			 notices from any Governmental Entity of any violation of, or that the Facility
			 or the Facility Site are not in compliance with, any and all Applicable Laws
			 relating to the Facility and the Facility Site or the ownership, use, occupancy
			 and operation thereof and (ii) there are no outstanding written notices that
			 any repairs or work or capital improvements are required to be done at or with
			 respect to the Facility or the Facility Site by any Governmental Entity or by
			 any insurance company which currently issues any insurance to the Lessee or by
			 any board of fire underwriters or other body exercising similar functions,
			 except, in either case with respect to (i) or (ii) above, where such
			 

	 
		15
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	violation,
			 noncompliance or repairs would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
			 Adverse Effect.
		 
	 	                (bb)         No
			 Default of Judgment. The Lessee is not in default of any judgments,
			 orders or decrees of any governmental authority relating to the Facility which
			 would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		 
	 	                (cc)         Labor
			 Disputes and Acts of God.  Neither the business nor the properties
			 of the Lessee are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or
			 pending or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Lessee, threatened unfair labor
			 practices complaint or proceeding or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail,
			 earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy, or other casualty
			 (whether or not covered by insurance), which would reasonably be expected to
			 have a Material Adverse Effect.
		 
	 	                (dd)         No
			 Fraudulent Conveyances.  The Lessee is consummating the
			 transactions contemplated hereby, including the transfer of certain of its
			 assets and properties to the Lessor, in good faith and without any intent to
			 defraud creditors of the Lessee or subsequent purchasers. Based upon the
			 Closing Appraisal, the execution and delivery of the Lessee Documents and the
			 granting of any Liens pursuant to such Lessee Documents by the Lessee will not
			 render the Lessee insolvent under GAAP or leave the Lessee with assets whose
			 present fair valuation is less than the present fair valuation of the
			 Lessee’s debts. As used in this Section 3.1(dd), “debts”
			 includes any and all liabilities, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or
			 unliquidated, absolute, fixed or contingent, and whether or not such
			 liabilities are required under GAAP to be shown on the Lessee’s balance
			 sheet. Based upon the Closing Appraisal, the execution and delivery of the
			 Lessee Documents and the granting of the Liens pursuant to such Lessee
			 Documents by the Lessee will not leave the Lessee with property remaining in
			 its hands which would constitute unreasonably small assets or capital, and the
			 Lessee has and, after giving effect to such transactions will have, an adequate
			 amount of assets and capital to engage in its business now and in the future,
			 based on the actual and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses
			 anticipated to be conducted by the Lessee, and based upon other information
			 described herein. Based upon the Closing Appraisal and information available at
			 the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated under the
			 Operative Documents, the Lessee believes it will be able to pay all of its
			 debts and liabilities, including unrecorded contingent liabilities, as they
			 mature, the Lessee will have positive cash flow after paying all of its
			 scheduled and anticipated debt as it matures, and the Lessee will realize
			 sufficient monies from current assets in the ordinary and usual course of
			 business to pay recurring current debt, short-term debt and long-term debt as
			 such debts mature.
		 
	 	                (ee)         Purchase
			 Agreement. The Lessee hereby repeats in favor of the parties hereto the
			 representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, mutatis
			 mutandis.

	 	 	                (ff)           Waiver
			 of Right to Partition; 1987 Support Agreement. The waivers of the right

			 Article VII (Waiver of Right to Partition) (the “Right to
			 Partition Waiver”) of those certain Support Agreements dated as of

			 enforceable obligation of the 1987 Facility Owners, except as the same may be
			 limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
			 other similar Applicable Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and
			 by general principles of equity.
		 
	 	                (gg)         No
			 Waiver of Right to Partition Waiver. The Lessee has not agreed to any
			 waiver or other amendments to the Right to Partition Waiver.

			 are the only Participants (as such term is defined in the Operating Agreement)
			 currently a party to the Operating Agreement. Neither the CAPCO Unit Ownership
			 Agreement nor the CAPCO Basic Operating Agreement (each as defined in the
			 Operating Agreement) is currently in effect.

		SECTION 7.
		          COVENANTS OF THE
		OWNER PARTICIPANT
	 

	 
		Section
		7.1.
		           Restrictions
		on Transfer of Trust Interest.
	 

	 	 	                (a)           The
			 Owner Participant covenants and agrees that it shall not during the Lease Term
			 assign, convey or transfer any of its right, title or interest in the Trust
			 Interest without the prior written consent of the Lessee and, so long as the
			 Lien of the Indenture has not been terminated or discharged, the Indenture
			 Trustee; provided, however, that the Owner Participant may, subject to
			 Section 7.6, assign, convey or transfer all, but not less than all, of
			 the Trust Interest without such consent to a Person (the
			 “Transferee”) which shall assume the duties and obligations of
			 the Owner Participant under the Operative Documents with respect to the
			 interest being transferred pursuant to an OP Assignment and Assumption
			 Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, if each of the
			 following conditions shall have been satisfied on or prior to such
			 transfer:
		 

	 	 	                (i)            the
			 Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been terminated or
			 discharged, the Indenture Trustee and the Pass Through Trustee shall have
			 received an opinion(s) of counsel (including an opinion with respect to a
			 guaranty pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 7.1(a), if
			 applicable), which opinion(s) and counsel are reasonably satisfactory to each
			 such recipient, to the effect that, subject to customary qualifications and
			 exceptions, such transfer will not violate any Applicable Laws;
		 
	 	                (ii)           the
			 Transferee shall be a “United States person” within the meaning of
			 Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code;
		 
	 	                (iii)          the
			 Transferee shall be either (A) an Affiliate of the transferor Owner
			 Participant; provided that, if the Transferee does not qualify under
			 clause (B) below, all of the payment obligations of the Transferee with respect
			 to the interest being transferred under the Operative Documents shall be
			 guaranteed by the transferor Owner Participant, or a Person then providing a
			 guaranty of the transferor Owner Participant’s payment obligations
			 hereunder, pursuant to an OP Parent Guaranty, or (B) a Person which meets, or
			 the payment obligations of which with respect to the interest being transferred
			 under the Operative Documents are guaranteed (pursuant to an OP Parent
			 Guaranty) by a Person (the transferor Owner Participant or such other
			 guarantor, the “Transferee Guarantor”) 

	 
		38
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	which
			 meets, the following criteria: the tangible net worth or capital and
			 surplus of the Transferee or Transferee Guarantor for its most recent fiscal
			 quarter is at least $75 million calculated in accordance with GAAP; and
			 
		 
	 	                (iv)          unless
			 waived in writing by the Lessee prior to such transfer, such Transferee which
			 qualifies under clause (iii)(B) above is not a Competitor of, or in
			 material litigation with, the Lessee or any Affiliate of the
			 Lessee.
		 

	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
			 restrictions set forth in Section 7.1 shall not inure to the benefit of
			 the Lessee if such transfer occurs during the continuance of a Material Default
			 or Lease Event of Default.
		 

	 	 	                (b)           For
			 purposes of Section 7.1(a)(iv), a “Competitor” shall be
			 an entity which at the time of the transfer is, or whose Affiliate is, engaged
			 as a seller, marketer, trader, aggregator or generator of electric capacity or
			 energy within the geographic area of the regional transmission organizations,
			 or their equivalent, in which the Guarantor or any Affiliate
			 thereof participates; provided that, a Competitor shall not include
			 a bank, an insurance company or other financial institution or an Affiliate of
			 any thereof in each case not owned by (i) an entity that owns and actually
			 operates on a daily basis a fleet of power plants with capacity of 500 MW or
			 greater, which power plants sell the majority of their energy into a
			 competitive market (other than under long-term contracts) that the Guarantor
			 operates in and competes directly with one or more of the Guarantor’s
			 power stations in (such entity an “IPP”), (ii) the
			 ultimate parent of an electric utility company or IPP or (iii) an ultimate
			 parent whose principal or a substantial part of whose business is that of an
			 electric utility company or IPP. For the avoidance of doubt, a Competitor shall
			 not under any circumstances include banks, insurance companies or financial
			 institutions or their Affiliates that would otherwise be a Competitor as a
			 result of the operation of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of
			 the preceding sentence that are generally in the business of making passive
			 investments or are not involved in the day-to-day decisions regarding plant
			 dispatch and bidding strategies with respect to the power plants they own and
			 operate. In addition, the Lessee will have the right to prepare and provide to
			 the Owner Participant on the Closing Date a list of entities which shall be
			 ineligible to qualify as a Transferee, provided that each such listed
			 entity either (A) has publicly announced an intent or taken material steps to
			 become a Competitor of the Lessee or its Affiliates and is not otherwise deemed
			 to have been a Competitor pursuant to the proviso in the second preceding
			 sentence, or (B) is a lessor or an owner participant in respect of a lease to
			 the Lessee of an interest in the Generating Station that has taken, or failed
			 to take, any action the result of which is materially adverse to the Lessee or
			 any of its Affiliates and is inconsistent with the actions taken or not taken
			 by at least 67% of other similarly situated lessors or owner participants;
			 provided that the list shall at no time include more than three entities
			 described in this clause (B) and the list may not include the Lessor,
			 the Other Lessors, the Owner Participant and the Other Owner Participants or
			 their Affiliates. The Lessee shall have the right to update such list (such
			 updated list to replace the previous list) not more frequently than annually,
			 commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

	 
		39
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	                (c)           During
			 such time as a Material Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred
			 and be continuing the foregoing restrictions (other than clauses (a)(ii)
			 and (a)(iii) above for so long as the Notes are outstanding) shall not
			 apply.
		 
	 	                (d)           The
			 Lessee shall not be responsible for any adverse Tax consequence to the Lessor
			 or the Owner Participant resulting from any transfer pursuant to this
			 Section 7.1 (unless such transfer occurs while a Lease Event of Default
			 is continuing) and the Pricing Assumptions shall not be changed as a result of
			 any such transfer.
		 
	 	                (e)           The
			 Owner Participant shall give the Indenture Trustee and, so long as no Material
			 Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
			 Lessee 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of such transfer, or five
			 Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of a transfer to an
			 Affiliate of the Owner Participant, specifying the name and address of any
			 proposed Transferee and such additional information as shall be necessary to
			 determine whether the proposed transfer satisfies the requirements of this
			 Section 7.1. The Lessee will promptly after receipt of such notice
			 acknowledge to the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee if all of the
			 requirements to the proposed transfer have been or will be met. If the Lessee
			 fails to provide such acknowledgment within 15 Business Days or (in the case of
			 a transfer to an Affiliate of the Owner Participant) five Business Days after
			 receipt of such notice, the Lessee shall be deemed to have given such
			 acknowledgement. 
		 
	 	                (f)            All
			 reasonable fees, expenses and charges of the Indenture Trustee, the Pass
			 Through Trustee, and the Lessee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
			 expenses in connection with any such transfer or proposed transfer), including
			 any of the foregoing relating to any amendments to the Operative Documents
			 required in connection therewith, shall be paid on an After-Tax Basis by the
			 Owner Participant, without any right of indemnification from the Lessee or any
			 other Person; provided, however, that the Owner Participant shall have
			 no obligation to pay fees, expenses or charges of the Lessee in connection with
			 any transfer while a Material Default or a Lease Event of Default is
			 continuing, in which case the Lessee shall be obligated to pay such
			 costs.
		 
	 	                (g)           Upon
			 any such transfer in compliance with this Section 7.1, (i) such
			 Transferee shall (A) be deemed the “Owner Participant” for all
			 purposes, and (B) enjoy the rights and privileges and perform the obligations
			 of the Owner Participant hereunder and under each of the OP Assignment and
			 Assumption Agreement, the OP Parent Guaranty and each other Operative Document
			 to which such Owner Participant is a party, and each reference in this
			 Agreement, the OP Parent Guaranty and each other Operative Document to the
			 “Owner Participant” shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such
			 Transferee for all purposes and (ii) subject to clause (a)(iii) above,
			 the transferor Owner Participant and the OP Guarantor, if any, of such
			 transferor Owner Participant’s obligations shall be released from all
			 obligations hereunder and under each other Operative Document to which such
			 transferor or OP Guarantor is a party or by which such transferor Owner
			 Participant or OP Guarantor is bound to the extent such obligations are
			 expressly assumed by a Transferee or in respect of whose payment 

	 
		40
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	obligations
			 are guaranteed by a Transferee Guarantor meeting the requirements of this
			 Section 7.1; provided, however, that in no event shall any such
			 transfer be deemed to result in a waiver or release of the transferor or its OP
			 Guarantor from any liability accruing or existing in respect of any period
			 occurring on or prior to or occurring simultaneously with such
			 transfer.
		 
	 	                (h)           The
			 transfer restrictions set forth in Section 7.1 (other than the
			 requirement that the Owner Participant and the Transferee enter into an OP
			 Assignment and Assumption Agreement) shall also apply to any transfer of the
			 equity ownership interests of an Owner Participant which has as its sole (or
			 substantially equivalent to sole) business activity its participation in the
			 transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. In the case of such a
			 transfer of equity ownership interests which satisfies such restrictions of
			 this Section 7.1, the Owner Participant’s obligations under the
			 Operative Documents shall continue, but the Owner Participant shall, except in
			 the case of a transfer to a transferee described in clause (a)(iii)(A)
			 above, procure a new OP Parent Guaranty from a guarantor meeting the
			 requirements of clause (a)(iii)(B) above.

	 
		Section
		7.2.            
		Owner Participant’s Liens. The Owner Participant covenants that
		it will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
		Owner Participant’s Lien and the Owner Participant shall promptly notify
		the Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been terminated or
		discharged, the Indenture Trustee of the imposition or existence of any such
		Lien of which the Owner Participant has Actual Knowledge and shall promptly, at
		its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge such
		Owner Participant’s Lien.
	 

	 
		Section
		7.3.
		           Amendments
		or Revocation of Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
		contained in the Trust Agreement, the Owner Participant covenants that during
		the Lease Term it will not (a) amend, supplement, or otherwise modify
		Section 8.01, 10.01, 10.02 or 10.03 of the Trust
		Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lessee so long as no
		Material Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and
		without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee so long as the Lien
		of the Indenture has not been terminated or discharged, or (b) revoke, or
		otherwise waive compliance with or terminate the Trust Agreement without the
		prior written consent of the Lessee so long as no Material Default or Lease
		Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Indenture Trustee so
		long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been terminated or discharged.

	 

	 
		Section
		7.4.           
		Bankruptcy Filings. The Owner Participant agrees that it will not file a
		petition, or join in the filing of a petition, seeking reorganization,
		arrangement, adjustment or composition of, or in respect of, the Lessor under
		the Bankruptcy Code, or any other Applicable Law.
	 

	 
		Section
		7.5.           
		Instructions. The Owner Participant agrees that it will not instruct the
		Lessor to take any action that the Lessor is prohibited from taking by this
		Agreement or any other Operative Document.
	 

	 
		Section
		7.6.           Right
		of First Refusal. In the event the Owner Participant desires to sell,
		convey or otherwise transfer (including, without limitation, by means of a
		lease that is substantially 
	 

	 
		41
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	equivalent
			 economically to a sale) its Trust Interest, or cause the Lessor to sell all or
			 substantially all of the Lessor’s Interest (each a
			 “Sale”), upon or at any time during the three year period
			 following the Date of Return of the Undivided Interest to any Person other than
			 an Affiliate of the Owner Participant, or in the relevant circumstances
			 described in Section 10, 13 or 14 of the Facility Lease,
			 any such Sale shall, unless such sale, conveyance or transfer is in connection
			 with the exercise of remedies upon a Lease Event of Default, be subject to the
			 Lessee’s right of first refusal on the terms and conditions set forth in
			 this Section 7.6. The Owner Participant shall give the Lessee prompt
			 written notice of all bona fide offers for a Sale that have been received from
			 any other Person that it wishes to accept, together with a statement of the
			 price and all of the material terms, conditions and provisions contained in
			 such offers for a Sale. The Lessee shall have the right within a period of 45
			 days from and after its receipt of such notice (the “Notice
			 Period”) to notify the Owner Participant of its intent to exercise its
			 right of first refusal with respect to a Sale; provided that the Lessee
			 shall provide to the Owner Participant’s reasonable satisfaction evidence
			 of the Lessee’s ability to pay the price and all other amounts that the
			 Lessee will be obligated to pay in connection with such Sale. If the Lessee
			 elects to exercise the right provided in the preceding sentence, it will within
			 45 days of its notice (the “Agreement Period”) execute a
			 contract on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to it than the
			 terms and conditions, taken as a whole, as the offer giving rise to such right
			 and thereafter proceed to consummate such contract in accordance with its
			 terms; provided, however, that in the case of a Sale pursuant to
			 Section 10, 13 or 14 of the Facility Lease the purchase
			 price shall not be less than the amount of the Qualifying Cash Bid. If the
			 Lessee does not give such notice to the Owner Participant within the Notice
			 Period or execute such a contract within the Agreement Period and thereafter
			 proceed to consummate such contract in accordance with its terms, the Owner
			 Participant will be free to proceed under the terms and conditions of the bid
			 set forth in its notice to the Lessee, unless the failure to execute the
			 contract with the Lessee within the Agreement Period or thereafter consummate
			 such contract in accordance with its terms is attributable to the failure of
			 the Owner Participant to negotiate or otherwise act in good faith or a breach
			 by the Owner Participant of its obligations under such contract. In the event
			 that the terms of the bid are revised in any way that changes the offer or
			 agreement for the Sale, such that the terms of the Sale are materially less
			 favorable to the Owner Participant (it being understood and agreed that any
			 reduction in the price or a change in the terms of payment thereof in a manner
			 beneficial to the potential purchaser shall be deemed to be materially less
			 favorable to the Owner Participant), the Owner Participant shall again comply
			 with the notice and right of first refusal provisions of this Section
			 7.6 prior to accepting such revised offer or entering into such revised
			 agreement; provided that, for such revised offer or agreement, the
			 Notice Period shall be ten Business Days from the date of such new notice, and
			 the Agreement Period shall not exceed 45 days from the date of the
			 Lessee’s notice accepting such new terms.
		 
	 	                (b)           Upon
			 the closing of any Sale to the Lessee, the Lessee (or its successor or
			 permitted assign) shall have the same rights as a Transferee under Section
			 7.1(g) hereof, 

	 
		42
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	and the
			 Owner Participant and the OP Guarantor, if any, shall be released from all
			 obligations hereunder and under each other Operative Document except as
			 provided in Section 7.1(g).

	 
		Section
		7.7.
		           Appointment
		of Successor Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
		Agreement, a successor Owner Trustee shall not be appointed by the Owner
		Participant without the consent of the Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the
		Indenture has not been terminated or discharged, the Indenture Trustee unless
		(a) such successor Owner Trustee (i) meets the requirements of the Trust
		Agreement, and (ii) has a combined capital and surplus of at least $150
		million, and (b) the Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not
		been terminated or discharged, the Indenture Trustee shall have received such
		documentation, including opinions of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
		Lessee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, as they may
		request.
	 

	 
		SECTION 8.
		          COVENANTS OF THE
		INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND THE PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE
	 

	 
		Section
		8.1.            
		Indenture Trustee’s Liens. Neither the Indenture Company nor the
		Indenture Trustee will directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer
		to exist any Indenture Trustee’s Lien attributable to it and arising out
		of events or conditions not related to its rights in the Indenture Estate or
		the administration thereof, and will promptly notify the Owner Participant, the
		Owner Trustee, the Lessor and the Lessee of the imposition of any such Lien of
		which it has Actual Knowledge and shall promptly (and in any event within 30
		days of obtaining Actual Knowledge of such Lien), at its own expense, take such
		action as may be necessary to duly discharge such Indenture Trustee’s
		Lien.
	 

	 
		Section
		8.2.
		           Pass
		Through Trustee’s Covenant Not to Transfer Notes. The Pass Through
		Trustee agrees that it will not transfer any Note (or any part thereof) to any
		entity (except to a successor Pass Through Trustee appointed pursuant to the
		terms of the Pass Through Trust Agreement) until it receives from such entity a
		certification which makes a representation and warranty as of the date of such
		transfer that no part of the funds to be used by it for the purchase and
		holding of such Note (or any part thereof) constitutes assets of any Plan or
		that such purchase and holding will be covered by a prohibited transaction
		class exemption issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.

			 arising with respect to a period or event occurring after the expiration or
			 earlier termination of the Facility Lease and, if applicable, the return of the

	 	                (ii)           In
			 respect of any of the Indemnified Parties, Claims arising from the gross
			 negligence or willful misconduct of such party or any Affiliate of such party,
			 or any officer, director or employee of the foregoing (in each case except to
			 the extent attributed to the Indemnified Party by reason of its interest in the
			 Undivided Interest or Facility Site or due to a Lessee Person’s Use of the
			 Generating Station, the Facility, the Facility Site, the Ancillary Facilities,
			 or any portion or component thereof or interest therein (including, without
			 limitation, the Undivided Interest);
		 
	 	                (iii)          Taxes
			 and costs of contesting Taxes, whether or not separately indemnified for

			 obligation to pay indemnities pursuant to this Section 9.1 on an
			 After-Tax Basis);
		 
	 	                (iv)          Any
			 disposition by the Lessor or the Owner Participant of its interests under the
			 Facility Lease, the Site Lease or the Owner Trust, as the case may be, unless
			 such disposition is required by the terms of the Operative Documents or
			 permitted by Section 10, 13 or 14 of the Facility Lease or
			 occurs during the continuance of a Material Default or a Lease Event of
			 Default;
		 
	 	                (v)           In
			 respect of any of the Indemnified Parties, to the extent of the breach of any
			 agreement, covenant, representation or warranty of such party or any Affiliate
			 of such party (in each case except to the extent attributed to the Indemnified
			 Party by reason of its interest in the Undivided Interest or Facility Site or
			 due to a Lessee Person’s Use of the Generating Station, the Facility, the
			 Facility Site, the Ancillary Facilities, or any portion or component thereof or
			 interest therein (including, without limitation, the Undivided
			 Interest));
		 
	 	                (vi)          Amendments
			 to the Operative Documents or the Operating Agreement that are not requested or
			 consented to by the Lessee or are not required by the Operative Documents, the

	 	                (vii)         Claims
			 arising out of or relating to an inspection of the Undivided Interest by or on
			 behalf of any of the Indemnified Parties seeking indemnification (other than
			 during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default);
		 
	 	                (viii)        Any
			 of the Indemnified Parties’ costs of compliance with U.S. regulatory
			 requirements (other than as a result of a Lease Event of Default or those costs
			 arising as a result of a change in Applicable Law that are in whole or
			 

	 
		47
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	in part
			 attributable to a Lessee Person’s actual or Alleged Use of the Generating
			 Station, the Facility, the Ancillary Facilities, the Facility Site or any part
			 thereof); and
		 
	 	                (ix)           Any
			 of the Indemnified Parties’ overhead costs in monitoring or administering
			 this investment.
		 

	 	 	Nothing
			 herein shall be deemed to (A) constitute a guaranty of any useful life or any
			 present or future residual value of the Facility or a guaranty that any amount
			 of any Secured Indebtedness will be paid, or (B) prevent the Lessee from
			 pursuing a Claim against any Lessee Person and any such Claim shall not be
			 subject to indemnification or should otherwise be excluded from indemnification
			 under this Section 9.1.
		 
	 	                (c)           Insured
			 Claims. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this
			 Section 9.1, in the case of any Claim indemnified by the Lessee
			 hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee,
			 each Indemnified Party agrees, unless it and each other Indemnified Party shall
			 waive its rights to indemnification (for itself and each Related Party thereto)
			 in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lessee, to cooperate reasonably, at
			 the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, with the Lessee and its insurers in
			 the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such
			 Claim.
		 
	 	                (d)          Claims
			 Procedure. Each Indemnified Party shall promptly after such
			 Indemnified Party shall have Actual Knowledge thereof notify the Lessee of any
			 Claim as to which indemnification is sought; provided, that the failure
			 so to notify the Lessee shall not reduce or affect the Lessee’s liability
			 which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 9.1;
			 provided further, that upon full payment of the amounts for which
			 indemnification is payable hereunder, the Lessee shall be entitled, to the
			 extent that the Lessee is materially prejudiced in the conduct of or precluded
			 from conducting a meritorious contest of such Claim as a result of such
			 failure, to pursue its legal rights and remedies against such Indemnified Party
			 for actual damages resulting directly from the failure of such Indemnified
			 Party to give the Lessee prompt notice. Subject to the foregoing, any amount
			 payable to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be
			 paid within 30 days after receipt of such written demand therefor from such
			 Indemnified Party, accompanied by a certificate of such Indemnified Party
			 stating in reasonable detail the basis for the indemnification thereby sought
			 and (if such Indemnified Party is not a party hereto) an agreement to be bound
			 by the terms of this Section 9.1 as if such Indemnified Party were such
			 a party. Promptly after the Lessee receives notification of such Claim
			 accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims
			 which are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of
			 the amount so payable, the Lessee shall, without affecting its obligations
			 hereunder, notify such Indemnified Party whether it intends to pay, object to,
			 compromise or defend any matter involving the asserted liability of such
			 Indemnified Party. The Lessee shall have the right to investigate and, so long
			 as no Material Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
			 continuing, to defend or compromise any Claim for which indemnification is
			 sought under this Section 9.1; 

	 
		48
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	provided that no such
			 defense or any settlement or other compromise shall involve any (i) material
			 risk of foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of, or imposition of a Lien other
			 than a Permitted Lien on, any part of the Facility, the Ancillary Facilities,
			 the Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest, the Facility Site, the Trust
			 Estate or the Indenture Estate or the impairment of the use, operation or
			 maintenance of the Facility, the Ancillary Facilities or the Facility Site,
			 (ii) risk of criminal liability being incurred by such Indemnified Party, the
			 Lessor, the Owner Participant or, if applicable, the OP Guarantor or (so long
			 as the Notes are outstanding and the Lien of the Indenture has not been
			 discharged) the Indenture Trustee or the Pass Through Trustee, or (iii)
			 material risk of any material adverse effect on the interests of the Lessor,
			 the Owner Participant or, if applicable, the OP Guarantor or (so long as the
			 Notes are outstanding and the Lien of the Indenture has not been discharged)
			 the Indenture Trustee or the Pass Through Trustee; provided, further,
			 that no Claim shall be settled or compromised by the Lessee without the express
			 written consent of such Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably
			 withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless such settlement or compromise does not
			 involve any admission of any criminal violation, gross negligence or willful
			 misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party, does not involve any relief
			 other than the payment of money damages, and results in an unconditional
			 release of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim; and
			 provided, further, that to the extent that other claims unrelated
			 to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents are part of the
			 same proceeding involving such Claim, the Lessee may assume responsibility for
			 the defense or compromise of such Claim only if the same may be and is severed
			 from such other claims. In the event that in the course of the investigation or
			 defense of a Claim, the Lessee shall in good faith reasonably determine that it
			 is not liable for indemnification with respect thereto under this Section
			 9.1, it may give notice to the applicable Indemnified Party of such fact,
			 and the Lessee may thereupon cease to defend such Claim; provided that
			 (A) the Lessee’s conduct regarding the defense of such Claim or any
			 decision to withdraw from such defense shall not prejudice or have prejudiced
			 the Indemnified Party’s ability to contest such Claim (taking into
			 account, among other things, the timing of the Lessee’s withdrawal and the
			 theory or theories upon which the Lessee shall have based its defense), and (B)
			 the Lessee shall have given such Indemnified Party all materials, documents and
			 records relating to its defense of such Claim as such Indemnified Party shall
			 have reasonably requested in connection with the assumption by such Indemnified
			 Party of the defense of such Claim at the cost and expense of the Lessee. In
			 the event that the Lessee shall cease to defend any Claim pursuant to the
			 preceding sentence, the Lessee shall indemnify each Indemnified Party, without
			 regard to any exclusion that might otherwise apply hereunder, to the extent
			 that the actions of the Lessee in defending such Claim or the manner or time of
			 the Lessee’s election to withdraw from the defense of such Claim shall
			 have caused such Indemnified Party to incur any loss, cost, liability or
			 expense which such Indemnified Party would not have incurred had the Lessee
			 never undertaken to defend such Claim. If the Lessee elects, subject to the
			 foregoing, to defend any such asserted liability, it may do so at its own
			 expense and by counsel selected by it and reasonably satisfactory to such
			 Indemnified Party. The Lessee agrees in any event to keep the Indemnified
			 Party 

	 
		49
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	informed as
			 to all proceedings with respect to any Claim and shall provide such Indemnified
			 Party with copies of all material pleadings and material correspondence and
			 other information relating to any Claim, in each case, as soon as practicable
			 and, with respect to pleadings or other papers required to be filed in court,
			 within a reasonable time to permit review thereof and comment thereon to the
			 extent practicable in the circumstances. Upon the Lessee’s election to
			 defend such asserted liability and prompt notification to such Indemnified
			 Party of its intent to do so, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially
			 reasonable efforts to cooperate at the Lessee’s expense with all
			 reasonable requests of the Lessee in connection therewith and will provide the
			 Lessee with all information not within the control of the Lessee as is
			 reasonably available to such Indemnified Party which the Lessee may reasonably
			 request; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall not,
			 unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, be obligated to disclose to the
			 Lessee or any other Person, or permit the Lessee or any other Person to
			 examine, any tax returns of the Indemnified Party or any confidential or
			 privileged information or pricing information not generally accessible by the
			 public possessed by the Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party agrees
			 to such disclosure and the Lessee obtains a stipulation from all parties to the
			 related proceeding providing for the confidential treatment of such
			 information. Where the Lessee, or the insurers under a policy of insurance
			 maintained by the Lessee, undertakes the defense of such Indemnified Party with
			 respect to a Claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
			 Party), no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnified Party in
			 connection with the defense of such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless
			 such fees or expenses were incurred at the request of the Lessee or such
			 insurers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may participate
			 at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Lessee,
			 pursuant to the preceding provisions, but only to the extent that such
			 party’s participation does not in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the
			 Lessee interfere with such control or defense of such claim; provided,
			 however, that such party’s participation does not constitute a waiver
			 of the indemnification provided in this Section 9.1; and provided,
			 further, that if and to the extent that (1) such Indemnified Party is
			 advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists
			 where it is advisable for such Indemnified Party to be represented by separate
			 counsel or (2) there is a risk that such Indemnified Party may be subject to
			 criminal liability and such Indemnified Party informs the Lessee that such
			 Indemnified Party desires to be represented by separate counsel or (3) the
			 Lessee has not defended the Claim diligently and in good faith, such
			 Indemnified Party shall have the right to control its own defense of such Claim
			 and the reasonable fees and expenses of such defense (including, without
			 limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel) shall be
			 borne by the Lessee. So long as no Material Default or Lease Event of Default
			 described in clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of
			 Section 16 of the Facility Lease has occurred and be continuing, no
			 Indemnified Party shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with
			 respect to any Claim without the prior written consent of the Lessee, such
			 consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless (I) the
			 Indemnified Party waives its rights to indemnification hereunder or (II) the
			 Lessee has not acknowledged its indemnity obligation with respect thereto or
			 (III) the 

	 
		50
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	Indemnified
			 Party has the right to control its own defense of such Claim pursuant to clause
			 (2) or (3) of the immediately preceding sentence. Nothing contained in this
			 Section 9.1(d) shall be deemed to require an Indemnified Party to
			 contest any Claim or to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial
			 proceeding with respect thereto. 
		 
	 	                (e)           Subrogation.
			 To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the Lessee under this Section
			 9.1 is in fact paid by the Lessee or an insurer under an insurance policy
			 maintained by the Lessee (so long as no Material Default or Lease Event of
			 Default shall have occurred and be continuing), such insurer shall be
			 subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party on whose behalf
			 such Claim was paid to the extent of such payment (other than rights of such
			 Indemnified Party under insurance policies maintained at its own expense) with
			 respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Should an
			 Indemnified Party receive any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to any
			 Claim paid by the Lessee hereunder, it shall promptly pay over to the Lessee
			 the lesser of (i) the amount refunded reduced by the amount of any Tax incurred
			 by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and increased by the amount
			 of any Tax not in excess of the amount of such reduction) saved as a result of
			 such payment or (ii) the amount the Lessee or any of its insurers has paid in
			 respect of such Claim; provided, however, that if a Material Default or a Lease
			 Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor may apply
			 any such amounts to amounts which have become due and payable by the Lessee
			 attributable thereto.
		 
	 	                (f)           Minimize
			 Claims. The Owner Participant, the Lessor, and each of the other
			 Transaction Parties will use their respective reasonable efforts to minimize
			 Claims indemnifiable by the Lessee under this Section 9.1, including by
			 complying with reasonable requests by the Lessee to do or to refrain from doing
			 any act if such compliance is, in the good faith opinion of the Owner
			 Participant, the Lessor, or such other Transaction Party, as the case may be,
			 of a purely ministerial nature or otherwise has no unindemnified adverse impact
			 on the Owner Participant, the Lessor, or such Transaction Party, as the case
			 may be, or any Affiliate of any thereof or on the business or operations of any
			 of the foregoing. 

	 
		Section 9.2.
		          General Tax Indemnity.
	 

	 	 	                (a)           Indemnity.
			 Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Lessee agrees to
			 indemnify each of the Owner Participant, the Lessor, the Trust Company (in its
			 individual capacity and as Owner Trustee), the Indenture Trustee, and the Pass
			 Through Trustee and their respective Affiliates (each of the foregoing, a
			 “Tax Indemnitee”) for, to hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless
			 from and to defend each Tax Indemnitee against all Taxes that are imposed upon
			 or with respect to or borne by or asserted against any Tax Indemnitee, the
			 Facility, the Undivided Interest, the Facility Site, the Ground Interest, or
			 any portion or Component thereof or any interest therein, or upon any Operative
			 Document or interest therein, or in any way arising out of, in connection with
			 or relating to, any of the following:

	 
		51
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	                (i)            the
			 acceptance, rejection, delivery, construction, financing, refinancing,
			 acquisition, operation, ownership, possession, maintenance, repair, lease,
			 condition, alteration, modification, restoration, refurbishing, rebuilding,
			 return, transport, assembly, repossession, servicing, dismantling, abandonment,
			 retirement, decommissioning, preparation, installation, storage, replacement,
			 purchase, sale or other disposition, insuring, sublease, or other use or
			 non-use of, the imposition of any lien (or incurrence of any liability to
			 refund or pay over any amount as a result of any lien) on, the Facility, the
			 Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest, the Facility Site or any portion or
			 Component thereof or any interest therein;
		 
	 	                (ii)           the
			 conduct of the business or affairs of the Lessee, the Guarantor or FirstEnergy,
			 the Facility or the Facility Site;
		 
	 	                (iii)          the
			 execution or delivery of the Operative Documents or any other documents
			 contemplated thereby or the performance, enforcement or amendment of any terms
			 thereof;
		 
	 	                (iv)          the
			 payment or receipt of Periodic Rent and Supplemental Rent or any other payment,
			 receipt or earning under the Operative Documents;
		 
	 	                (v)           the
			 conveyance of title to the Undivided Interest; or
		 
	 	                (vi)          otherwise
			 relating to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
			 Documents.
		 

	 	 	                (b)           Excluded
			 Taxes. There shall be no indemnification under paragraph (a)
			 above for any of the following Taxes (the “Excluded
			 Taxes”):
		 

	 	 	                (i)            United
			 States federal income Taxes imposed under Subtitle A of the Code (including
			 minimum taxes).
		 
	 	                (ii)           Taxes,
			 including franchise Taxes, which are based on or measured by the net or gross
			 income, capital or net worth, net or gross receipts, excess profits, capital
			 gain or conduct of business (including minimum taxes) (other than Taxes that
			 are, or are in the nature of, sales, use, value-added, property, ad valorem,
			 rental, stamp, transfer, excise or license Taxes) (“Income
			 Taxes”) imposed by (i) the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (or any local
			 jurisdiction or taxing authority located therein), (ii) any foreign government
			 or any foreign taxing authority, (iii) a taxing authority in any jurisdiction
			 in which the Tax Indemnitee is organized, incorporated or has its principal
			 place of business or is otherwise subject to Income Taxes as a result of
			 income, assets or activities that are unrelated to the Transactions, and (iv)
			 any other government or taxing authority, in each case other than Income Taxes
			 imposed as a result of (A) the location, or the use or operation by a Lessee
			 Person, of the Undivided Interest, the 

	 
		52
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	Facility
			 Site, the Ancillary Facilities or the Facility, or the recording or
			 registration of any Tax Indemnitee’s interest in any of the foregoing, in
			 the jurisdiction imposing such Tax, (B) the execution or delivery of any
			 Operative Document in such jurisdiction, (C) the identity, organization,
			 incorporation, activities or presence of a Lessee Person or (D) the making of
			 any payment under the Operative Documents by or on behalf of the Lessee or any
			 related person (collectively, a “Lessee Nexus”).
		 
	 	                (iii)          Taxes
			 imposed with respect to a period or event occurring after the expiration or
			 earlier termination of the Facility Lease and, if applicable, the return of the
			 use and possession of the Facility Site and the Undivided Interest in
			 accordance with the requirements of the Facility Lease and the Site Sublease,
			 other than Taxes (i) relating to or arising from events occurring prior to, or
			 simultaneously with, such events or (ii) imposed with respect to any payments
			 due under the Operative Documents.
		 
	 	                (iv)          Taxes
			 based on or measured by the fees or other compensation of the Owner Trustee,
			 the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee and the Account Bank in
			 connection with the Transactions.
		 
	 	                (v)           Taxes
			 imposed on a Tax Indemnitee (i) resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or
			 willful misconduct of such Tax Indemnitee or a related person or (ii) that
			 would not have occurred but for the breach or inaccuracy by such Tax Indemnitee
			 of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under the
			 Operative Documents.
		 
	 	                (vi)          Taxes
			 that are being contested in accordance with Section 9.2(g) during the
			 pendency of such contest. 
		 
	 	                (vii)         Taxes
			 resulting from (i) a voluntary sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition
			 (A) by such Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Undivided Interest or any
			 part thereof or (B) of any interest in the Tax Indemnitee, provided, in each
			 case, such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition is not while a Lease
			 Event of Default is continuing or (ii) any involuntary sale, assignment,
			 transfer or other disposition of the foregoing interests resulting from any
			 bankruptcy or other proceeding for the relief of debtors in which such Tax
			 Indemnitee is a debtor, or from any foreclosure by a creditor of such Tax
			 Indemnitee in each case not attributable to a Lease Default or Lease Event of
			 Default.
		 
	 	                (viii)        Taxes
			 incurred or payable by a transferee (including any transfer by merger,
			 consolidation, liquidation, reorganization or otherwise by operation of law) of
			 a Tax Indemnitee to the extent of the excess of such Taxes over the amount of
			 such Taxes which would have been imposed on the original Tax Indemnitee had
			 there been no transfer (determined pursuant to Applicable Law in 

	 
		53
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	effect at
			 the time of the transfer); provided that such transfer is not while a Lease
			 Event of Default is continuing.
		 
	 	                (ix)           Taxes
			 in the nature of an intangible or similar Tax, unless arising as a result of a
			 Lessee Nexus.
		 
	 	                (x)            Taxes
			 imposed on any Tax Indemnitee that would not have been imposed but for the
			 Lessor being organized outside the United States or treated as other than a
			 U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or a grantor trust
			 or a pass through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
		 
	 	                (xi)           Taxes
			 that have been included in the Purchase Price.
		 
	 	                (xii)          Taxes
			 that result from the failure of a Tax Indemnitee to comply, following notice
			 from the Lessee, with certification, reporting, filing or other similar
			 requirements of the jurisdiction imposing such Tax.
		 
	 	                (xiii)         Taxes
			 imposed by any jurisdiction that would not have been imposed on a Tax
			 Indemnitee but for its activities in such jurisdiction unrelated to the
			 transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.
		 
	 	                (xiv)        Value
			 added taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee, unless arising as a result of a Lessee
			 Nexus.
		 

	 	 	                (c)           Payment.
			 All payments by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be made on
			 an After-Tax Basis. Each payment required to be made by the Lessee to a Tax
			 Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be paid either (i) when
			 due directly to the applicable taxing authority by the Lessee if it is
			 permitted to do so, or (ii) where direct payment is not permitted, and with
			 respect to gross up amounts, in immediately available funds to such Tax
			 Indemnitee by the later of (A) 30 days following the Lessee’s receipt of
			 the Tax Indemnitee’s written demand for the payment pursuant to clause
			 (g)(i) below (which demand shall be accompanied by a written statement of
			 the Tax Indemnitee describing in reasonable detail the Taxes for which the Tax
			 Indemnitee is demanding payment and the computation of such Taxes), (B) subject
			 to paragraph (g) below, in the case of amounts which are being contested
			 pursuant to such paragraph (g), at the time and in accordance with a
			 final determination of such contest, (C) in the case of any indemnity demand
			 for which the Lessee has requested review and determination pursuant to
			 paragraph (d) below, the completion of such review and
			 determination; provided, however, except with respect to amounts being
			 contested pursuant to paragraph (g) below, in no event later than the
			 date which is one Business Day prior to the date on which such Taxes are
			 required to be paid to the applicable taxing authority, or (D) any other such
			 time or times as requested by the Lessee acting in good faith and agreed to by
			 the Tax Indemnitee. Any amount payable to the Lessee pursuant to paragraph
			 (e) or (f) below shall be paid promptly after the Tax Indemnitee
			 realizes a Tax Benefit giving rise to a payment under paragraph (e) or
			 receives a refund or credit giving rise to a payment 

	 
		54
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	under
			 paragraph (f), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by a
			 statement of the Tax Indemnitee computing in reasonable detail the amount of
			 such payment. Upon the final determination of any contest pursuant to
			 paragraph (g) below in respect of any Taxes for which the Lessee has
			 made a Tax Advance, the amount of the Lessee’s obligation under
			 paragraph (a) above shall be reduced by such Tax Advance. Any obligation
			 of the Lessee under this Section 9.2 and the Tax Indemnitee’s
			 obligation to repay the Tax Advance will be satisfied first by set off against
			 each other, and any difference owing by either party will be paid within ten
			 days of such final determination.
		 
	 	                (d)           Independent
			 Examination. Within ten days after the Lessee receives any computation
			 from the Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee may request in writing that an independent
			 public accounting firm selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable
			 to the Lessee review and determine on a confidential basis the amount of any
			 indemnity payment by the Lessee to the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this
			 Section 9.2 or any payment by a Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee pursuant to
			 paragraph (e) or (f) below. The Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate
			 with such accounting firm and supply it with all information reasonably
			 necessary for the accounting firm to conduct such review and determination;
			 provided that such accounting firm shall agree in writing in a manner
			 reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee to maintain the confidentiality
			 of such information. The parties hereto agree that the independent public
			 accounting firm’s sole responsibility shall be to verify the computation
			 of any payment pursuant to this Section 9.2 and that matters of
			 interpretation of this Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document
			 are not within the scope of the independent accountant’s responsibility.
			 The fees and disbursements of such accounting firm will be paid by the
			 Lessee; provided that such fees and disbursements will be paid by the
			 Tax Indemnitee if the verification results in an adjustment in the
			 Lessee’s favor of five percent or more of the indemnity payment or
			 payments as originally computed by the Tax Indemnitee.
		 
	 	                (e)           Tax
			 Benefit. If, as the result of any Taxes paid or indemnified against by
			 the Lessee under this Section 9.2, the aggregate Taxes actually paid by
			 the Tax Indemnitee for any taxable year and not subject to indemnification
			 pursuant to this Section 9.2 are less (whether by reason of a deduction,
			 credit, allocation or apportionment of income or otherwise) than the amount of
			 such Taxes that otherwise would have been payable by such Tax Indemnitee (a
			 “Tax Benefit”), then to the extent such Tax Benefit was not
			 taken into account in determining the amount of indemnification payable by the
			 Lessee under paragraph (a) or (c) above and provided no Material
			 Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (in
			 which event the payment provided under this Section 9.2(e) shall be
			 deferred until the Material Default or Lease Event of Default has been cured),
			 such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the Lessee the lesser of (i) (A) the amount of
			 such Tax Benefit, plus (B) an amount equal to any additional Tax Savings
			 realized by the Tax Indemnitee as a result of the payment under clause
			 (A) above and this clause (B) and (ii) the amount of the indemnity
			 paid pursuant to this Section 9.2 giving rise to such Tax Benefit;
			 provided, however, that any excess of (i) over (ii)
			 shall be carried forward and reduce the Lessee’s obligations to make
			 subsequent payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2.
			 If it is subsequently determined that the Tax 

	 
		55
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	Indemnitee
			 was not entitled to such Tax Benefit, the portion of such Tax Benefit that is
			 required to be repaid or recaptured will be treated as Taxes for which the
			 Lessee must indemnify the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2
			 without regard to paragraph (b) hereof (other than clauses (v)
			 and (xii) of paragraph (b)).
		 
	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
			 herein, each Tax Indemnitee and the Lessee shall determine the allocation of
			 any Tax benefits, savings, credit, deduction or allocation in its sole good
			 faith discretion and each position to be taken on its Tax return shall be in
			 its sole control and it shall not be required to disclose any Tax return or
			 related documentation to any Person.
		 
	 	                (f)            Refund.
			 If a Tax Indemnitee obtains a refund or credit of all or part of any Taxes
			 paid, reimbursed or advanced by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2,
			 the Tax Indemnitee promptly shall pay to the Lessee (i) the amount of such
			 refund or credit (net of any Tax payable by the Tax Indemnitee as a result of
			 the receipt or accrual of such refund or credit) plus (ii) any additional Tax
			 Savings realized by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of such payment to the
			 Lessee; provided that (A) if at the time such payment is due to the
			 Lessee a Material Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
			 continuing, such amount shall not be payable until such Material Default or
			 Lease Event of Default has been cured, and (B) the amount payable to the Lessee
			 pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the amount of the indemnity payment
			 in respect of such refunded or credited Taxes that was made by the Lessee. Any
			 excess of (i) and (ii) over (B) in this Section
			 9.2(f) shall be carried forward and reduce the Lessee’s obligations to
			 make subsequent payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section
			 9.2. If it is subsequently determined that the Tax Indemnitee was not
			 entitled to such refund or credit, the portion of such refund or credit that is
			 required to be repaid or recaptured will be treated as Taxes for which the
			 Lessee must indemnify the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2
			 without regard to paragraph (b) hereof. If, in connection with a refund
			 or credit of all or part of any Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by the
			 Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2, a Tax Indemnitee receives an amount
			 representing interest on such refund or credit, the Tax Indemnitee promptly
			 shall pay to the Lessee (1) the amount of such interest that shall be fairly
			 attributable to such Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by the Lessee prior to
			 the receipt of such refund or credit (net of Taxes payable in respect of the
			 receipt or accrual of such interest) and (2) any Tax Savings resulting from
			 payments made by the Tax Indemnitee under (1) and
			 (2).
		 
	 	                (g)          
			 Contest.
		 

	 	 	                (i)            Notice
			 of Contest. If a written claim for payment is made by any taxing
			 authority against a Tax Indemnitee for any Taxes with respect to which the
			 Lessee may be liable for indemnity hereunder (a “Tax Claim”),
			 such Tax Indemnitee shall give the Lessee written notice of such Tax Claim
			 promptly after its receipt, and shall furnish the Lessee with copies of such
			 Tax Claim and all other writings received from the taxing authority to the
			 extent relating to such Tax Claim; provided that, without limiting any
			 damage claims or remedy the Lessee 

	 
		56
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	may
			 otherwise have for such failure, failure to so notify the Lessee shall not
			 relieve the Lessee of any obligation to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee hereunder
			 except to the extent that such failure increases the amount otherwise required
			 to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.2.
		 
	 	                (ii)           Control
			 of Contest. Subject to paragraph (g)(iii) below, at the
			 election of the Lessee, the Lessee (A) will be entitled to contest (acting
			 through counsel selected by the Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to the Tax
			 Indemnitee), and control the contest of, any Tax Claim either in its own name
			 or the name of the Tax Indemnitee if (x) such Tax Claim may be pursued
			 independently from any claim for Taxes for which the Lessee is not obligated to
			 indemnify the Tax Indemnitee, (y) the Lessee shall have acknowledged in
			 writing its liability hereunder if the Tax Claim is not successful, and (z) the
			 Tax Indemnitee has reasonably determined, acting in good faith, that it will
			 not be adversely affected by the Lessee’s control of such Tax Claim (a
			 “Lessee-Controlled Contest”), or (B) may require that the Tax
			 Indemnitee in good faith contest such Tax Claim. The following rules shall
			 apply with respect to any contest hereunder:
		 
	 	                                (1)           With
			 respect to a Lessee-Controlled Contest:
		 

	 	 	                                a.
			             the
			 Lessee shall control any such claim (acting through counsel selected by the
			 Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee) at the Lessee’s
			 expense;
		 
	 	                                b.
			             the
			 decisions regarding what actions to be taken shall be made by the Lessee in
			 its sole judgment, acting reasonably and in good faith; and
		 
	 	                                c.
			             the Tax
			 Indemnitee shall not otherwise settle, compromise or abandon such contest
			 without the Lessee’s prior written consent except as provided in
			 paragraph (g)(iv) below; and
		 
	 	                                d.
			             the
			 Lessee shall consult in good faith with the Tax Indemnitee and its
			 designated counsel with respect to such Tax Claim and shall provide the
			 Tax Indemnitee with copies of any reports or claims (or extracts therefrom)
			 issued by the relevant auditing agents or taxing authority relating to such Tax
			 Claim.
		 

	 	 	                                (2)           With
			 respect to the contest of any Tax Claim pursuant to clause (B) of
			 Section 9.2(g)(ii) hereof:
		 

	 	 	                                a.
			             the Tax
			 Indemnitee shall control any such claim (acting through counsel selected by the
			 Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee) at the Lessee’s
			 expense;

	 
		57
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	                                b.
			             the
			 decisions regarding what actions to be taken shall be made by the Tax
			 Indemnitee in its sole judgment, acting reasonably and in good
			 faith;
		 
	 	                                c.
			             the
			 Tax Indemnitee shall not otherwise settle, compromise or abandon such
			 contest without the Lessee’s prior written consent, except as provided in
			 paragraph (g)(iv) below; and
		 
	 	                                d.
			             the Tax
			 Indemnitee shall consult in good faith with the Lessee and its
			 designated counsel with respect to such Tax Claim and shall provide the
			 Lessee with copies of any reports or claims (or extracts therefrom) issued by
			 the relevant auditing agents or taxing authority relating to such Tax
			 Claim.
		 

	 	 	                (iii)          Conditions
			 of Contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no contest with respect to
			 a Tax Claim will be required or permitted pursuant to this Section 9.2,
			 and the Lessee shall be required to pay the applicable Taxes without contest,
			 unless:
		 
	 	                                (1)           within
			 30 days after written notice by the Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee of such Tax
			 Claim (or such shorter period, to be specified by the Tax Indemnitee in such
			 notice, as required for taking action with respect to such Tax Claim), the
			 Lessee shall request in writing to the Tax Indemnitee that such Tax Claim be
			 contested,
		 
	 	                                (2)           no
			 Material Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
			 
		 
	 	                                (3)           there
			 is no reasonably foreseeable risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the
			 creation of any Lien on, the Facility, the Facility Site, the Undivided
			 Interest, the Ground Interest, or any portion or Component thereof or any
			 interest therein as a result of such Tax Claim,
		 
	 	                                (4)           there
			 is no reasonably foreseeable risk of imposition of any criminal penalties or
			 liabilities,
		 
	 	                                (5)           if
			 such contest involves payment of such Tax, the Lessee has advanced such amount
			 necessary to pay the Tax to the Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates on an
			 interest-free basis and with no after-Tax cost to such Tax Indemnitee (a
			 “Tax Advance”),
		 
	 	                                (6)           the
			 Lessee has agreed to pay (and pays on demand), and with no after-Tax cost to
			 such Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates, all reasonable costs, losses and
			 expenses incurred by the Tax Indemnitee in connection with the contest of such
			 claim (including, without limitation, all reasonable legal, 

	 
		58
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	accounting
			 and investigatory fees and disbursements and penalties, interest and additions
			 to Tax),
		 
	 	                                (7)           if
			 the subject matter of such claim shall be of a continuing or recurring nature
			 and shall have previously been decided pursuant to this paragraph (g),
			 there shall have been a change in law after such previously decided claim and
			 such Tax Indemnitee receives, at the Lessee’s sole cost, an opinion of
			 counsel selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee
			 to the effect that such change is favorable to the position asserted in the
			 previous contest, 
		 
	 	                                (8)           no
			 appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court shall be required or permitted, and
			 
		 
	 	                                (9)           in
			 the case of a Tax Claim other than a Lessee-Controlled Contest, the amount of
			 the claim and all future related claims exceeds $25,000 and, if requested by
			 the Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee shall have delivered to the Tax Indemnitee an
			 opinion of Independent Tax Counsel that there is a reasonable basis to contest
			 such Tax Claim.
		 
	 	                (iv)          Waiver
			 of Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
			 in this Section 9.2, the Tax Indemnitee at any time may elect to decline
			 to take any action or any further action with respect to (and the Lessee shall
			 not be permitted to contest) a Tax Claim and may in its sole discretion settle
			 or compromise any contest with respect to such Tax Claim without the
			 Lessee’s consent if the Tax Indemnitee:
		 
	 	                                (1)           waives
			 its right to any indemnity payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section
			 9.2 in respect of such Tax Claim (and any other claim for Taxes with
			 respect to any other taxable year the contest of which is effectively precluded
			 by the Tax Indemnitee’s declination to take action with respect to the Tax
			 Claim), and
		 
	 	                                (2)           promptly
			 repays to the Lessee any Tax Advance and any amount paid to such Tax Indemnitee
			 under Section 9.2(a) above in respect of such Taxes.
		 

	 	 	Except as
			 provided in the preceding sentence, any such waiver shall be without prejudice
			 to the rights of the Tax Indemnitee with respect to any other Tax
			 Claim.
		 
	 	                (h)          
			 Reports.
		 

	 	 	                (i)            If
			 any report, statement or return is required to be filed by a Tax Indemnitee
			 with respect to any Tax that is subject to indemnification under this
			 Section 9.2, the Lessee will (A) notify the Tax Indemnitee in writing of
			 such 

	 
		59
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	requirement
			 not later than 30 days prior to the date such report, statement or return is
			 required to be filed (determined without regard to extensions) and (B) either
			 (1) unless directed by the Tax Indemnitee otherwise, if permitted by Applicable
			 Law, prepare such report, statement or return for filing by the Lessee in such
			 manner as will show the ownership of the Undivided Interest by the Lessor for
			 United States federal, state and local income tax purposes (if applicable),
			 send a copy of such report, statement or return to the Tax Indemnitee and
			 timely file such report, statement or return with the appropriate taxing
			 authority, or (2) in all other cases, prepare and furnish to such Tax
			 Indemnitee not later than 30 days prior to the date such report, statement or
			 return is required to be filed (determined without regard to extensions) a
			 proposed form of such report, statement or return for filing by the Tax
			 Indemnitee; provided that the only consequence for failure of the Tax
			 Indemnitee to file such report, statement or return after compliance by the
			 Lessee with the requirements hereof shall be a loss of indemnification from the
			 Lessee in respect of any Tax to the extent resulting from such
			 failure.
		 
	 	                (ii)           Each
			 of the Tax Indemnitee and the Lessee, as the case may be, will timely provide
			 the other, at the Lessee’s expense, with all information in its possession
			 that the other party may reasonably require and request to satisfy its Tax
			 filing obligations; provided that the Owner Participant and its Affiliates
			 shall not be required to provide to the Lessee, and the Lessee shall not be
			 required to provide to any Tax Indemnitee, copies of its income tax returns or
			 any other information in respect of its income tax returns or reporting
			 positions that such Person considers confidential.
		 

	 	 	                (i)            Non-Parties.
			 If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, the Lessee may require
			 such Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
			 Lessee, to the terms of this Section 9.2 and any other relevant
			 provision hereof prior to making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this
			 Section. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Lessee’s obligations under
			 this Section 9.2 shall inure to the benefit of each and every Tax
			 Indemnitee without regard to whether such Tax Indemnitee is a party to this
			 Agreement.

	 
		SECTION 10.
		        LESSEE’S RIGHT OF QUIET
		ENJOYMENT
	 

	 
		                Each party to this Agreement acknowledges
		notice of, and consents in all respects to, the terms of the Facility Lease,
		the Site Lease and the Site Sublease and expressly, severally and as to its own
		actions only, agrees that, so long as no Lease Event of Default has occurred
		and is continuing and neither the Lessor nor the Indenture Trustee (as assignee
		of the Lessor) has commenced the exercise of remedies under the Facility Lease
		that it may have therein as a result thereof, it shall not take or cause to be
		taken any action or direct that any action be taken that would interfere with
		or interrupt the quiet enjoyment of the use, operation and possession by the
		Lessee of its rights and interests in the Undivided Interest or the Ground
		Interest subject to the terms of the Facility Lease and the Site
		Sublease.

		SECTION 11.
		        SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCING
		MODIFICATIONS; OPTIONAL REFINANCINGS
	 

	 
		Section
		11.1.         Financing
		Modifications. Upon the request of the Lessee delivered at least 30 days
		prior to any proposed financing of a portion of the cost of any Required
		Modification or non-Severable Modification and subject to the consent of the
		Owner Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee shall cooperate with
		the Lessee, to the extent permitted under Rev. Proc. 2001-28, to (a) issue
		Additional Notes under the Indenture to finance such Modification which will
		rank pari passu with the Initial Notes and/or any Additional Notes
		then outstanding; (b) execute and deliver one or more supplements to the
		Indenture for the purpose of subjecting the Lessor’s interest in any such
		Modifications to the Liens thereof, and (c) execute and deliver an amendment to
		the Facility Lease to reflect the adjustments required by clause (c)
		below. If the Owner Participant consents to finance such Modifications through
		the issuance of Additional Notes under Section 2.12(a) of the Indenture
		(any financing of Modifications through the issuance of such Additional Notes
		under the Indenture being called a “Supplemental Financing”),
		such Supplemental Financing shall be subject to the following additional
		conditions:
	 

	 	 	                (a)           The
			 Basic Rent and Termination Amounts (determined without regard to any Tax
			 benefits associated with such Modifications, unless the Owner Participant is
			 making an Additional Equity Investment) shall, subject to Section 12.2,
			 be adjusted as agreed to by the Owner Participant and Lessee at the time of
			 such financing;
		 
	 	                (b)           The
			 Rating Agencies have confirmed that such financing shall not result in a
			 withdrawal or downgrade of the credit rating of the Pass Through Certificates
			 below that in effect on the date of the financing (except that, in respect of
			 Required Modifications, this clause (B) will not be applicable);
		 
	 	                (c)           Such
			 financing is for an amount not greater than the Lessor’s Percentage of the
			 cost of the Modifications being financed, nor for an amount less than $20
			 million multiplied by the Lessor’s Percentage;
		 
	 	                (d)           As
			 of the closing date of the Supplemental Financing, the aggregate balance of the
			 Notes (including the additional debt being financed and taking into account all
			 Modifications) shall not exceed 87% of the fair market value of the Undivided
			 Interest;
		 
	 	                (e)           No
			 Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing unless the
			 Modifications are intended to cure such Lease Event of Default and comply in
			 all material respects with the Operative Documents;
		 
	 	                (f)            The
			 final maturity date of the Additional Notes will be no later than the final
			 maturity date of the Initial Notes and will be repaid in full out of additional
			 Basic Rent during the Lease Term;

	 
		61
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	                (g)           The
			 Owner Participant shall have received an opinion of independent tax counsel to
			 the effect that such Supplemental Financing will not cause any adverse Tax
			 consequences to the Owner Participant;
		 
	 	                (h)           The
			 Supplemental Financing shall not change the Owner Participant’s treatment
			 of the transaction under FASB 13;
		 
	 	                (i)            The
			 Supplemental Financing shall not result in any “prohibited
			 transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
			 the Code; and
		 
	 	                (j)            The
			 Owner Participant shall be paid a fee of $100,000 in connection with such
			 Supplemental Financing.

	 
		Section
		11.2.          Cooperation.
		The Owner Participant will consider in good faith any requests by the Lessee to
		refinance the Lease Debt; provided that any such refinancing of the Lease Debt
		shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents and
		other conditions to such refinancing agreed to by Lessee and the Owner
		Participant shall have been satisfied. 
	 

	 
		Section
		11.3.          Other
		Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11, the
		Lessee shall, at any and all times, have the right to fund Modifications to the
		Facility other than through the Facility Lease.
	 

	 
		SECTION 12.
		        CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS TO PERIODIC
		RENT, TERMINATION AMOUNTS AND OTHER 

		        
		        
		             
		AMOUNTS
	 

	 
		Section
		12.1.          Pre-Closing
		Adjustments. Prior to the Closing Date, the Rent Factors shall be adjusted,
		either upward or downward, as the case may be (in either case, a “Rent
		Adjustment”), in the event of either of the following:
	 

	 	 	                (a)           to
			 reflect any changes in the Pricing Assumptions (including any changes in the
			 assumed amortization schedules for the Notes) or the Tax Assumptions from those
			 specified in Schedule 2 hereto and in Section 1 of the Tax
			 Indemnity Agreement, respectively; and
		 
	 	                (b)           at
			 the request of the Lessee or the Owner Participant, to reflect any enactment,
			 promulgation, release or adoption of, amendment to or change in the Code or
			 Treasury Regulations (other than changes affecting alternative minimum tax
			 provisions) (“Tax Law Change”) that is enacted, promulgated,
			 released or adopted prior to the Closing Date and effective in respect of the
			 U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Overall Transaction. 

	 
		                Rent Adjustments will be calculated by the
		Owner Participant so as to preserve the Owner Participant’s Net Economic
		Return without altering the credit profile such that the Termination Amount
		reflected on the relevant schedule attached to the Form of Facility Lease
		Agreement attached as Exhibit C on any Termination Date while the Notes
		are outstanding shall 
	 

	 
		62
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 
		not increase by more than 1.0%
		of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that each adjustment of Basic
		Rent and Allocated Rent shall comply with the requirements of Rev. Proc.
		2001-28, as modified and as in effect at the time of such adjustment, and
		Section 467 of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final regulations
		thereunder as in effect at the time of such adjustment, and shall not cause the
		Facility Lease to be a “disqualified leaseback or long-term
		agreement” within the meaning of Section 467 of the Code and any such
		regulations thereunder. Such adjustment and the corresponding adjustments to
		the other Rent Factors shall be computed by such Owner Participant on the same
		basis that was used in calculating the Rent Factors as set forth in the
		schedules to the Facility Lease on the date hereof. 
	 

	 
		                If
		any adjustment required by this Section 12.1 would result in (A) the
		Facility Lease not qualifying as an operating lease for the Lessee under FASB
		13 or FASB 98, or (B) the aggregate of all rent adjustments made on or before,
		or contemplated to be made on, the Closing Date (other than adjustments to
		reflect a change in Transaction Expenses or the actual interest rate of the
		Pass Through Certificates) causing the after-tax net present value of Basic
		Rent discounted at the Discount Rate to increase by more than 100 basis points
		from the amounts reflected on Schedule 1-A to the form of the Facility
		Lease attached as Exhibit C, then the Lessee shall not be obligated to
		close the Overall Transaction. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section
		12.1 shall be calculated, at the option of the Lessee, to minimize the
		average annual Basic Rent over the Basic Term for the Lessee’s GAAP
		accounting purposes and/or the net present value to the Lessee of the Basic
		Rent.
	 

	 
		Section
		12.2.          Post-Closing
		Adjustments.
	 

	 
		                Any adjustments after the Closing Date in
		the Basic Rent and the Termination Amounts shall be made only as the Lessee and
		the Lessor may agree in accordance with the terms of the Facility Lease.
		
	 

	 
		SECTION 13.
		        TRANSFER OF THE LESSEE
		OWNERSHIP
	 

	 
		Section
		13.1.          No
		Assignment of Operative Documents. The Lessee covenants and agrees that it
		shall not during the Lease Term assign the Facility Lease or any other
		Operative Document, or any interest therein, without the prior written consent
		of the Owner Participant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed
		or conditioned, but subject to Section 13.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the
		foregoing, but subject to Section 13.2 hereof, the Lessee may assign all
		or any part of the Facility Lease, its leasehold interest therein, and any
		other Operative Document to which it is a party, or any interest therein, to
		any of its Affiliates without the consent of the Lessor, the Owner Participant,
		the Indenture Trustee or any other Transaction Party.
	 

	 
		Section
		13.2.          Conditional
		Assignment. Assignment under Section 13.1 hereof by the Lessee shall
		be permitted (i) if the Lessee continues to remain liable under the Facility
		Lease and the other Lessee Documents after giving effect to such assignment or
		assignments and the Guarantor shall remain fully liable for its obligations
		under the Guaranty, and (ii) the following conditions have been
		satisfied:
	 

	 
		63
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	                (a)           The
			 Lessor, Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee and Pass Through Trustee shall
			 have received opinions of counsel (in form and substance reasonably
			 satisfactory to such recipients) (A) to the effect that all regulatory
			 approvals required in connection with such assignment or necessary to assume
			 the Lessee’s obligations under the Lessee Documents shall have been
			 obtained; and (B) as to the assignment and assumption agreement referred to
			 below.
		 
	 	                (b)           Such
			 assignment shall be pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form
			 and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, Owner Participant,
			 Indenture Trustee and Pass Through Trustee.
		 
	 	                (c)           No
			 Material Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be then
			 continuing or would result from such assignment that has not been
			 waived.
		 
	 	                (d)           The
			 assignment shall not cause the regulation of the Owner Participant or the
			 Lessor as a public utility or public utility holding company.
		 
	 	                (e)           The
			 assignment shall not result in a Regulatory Event of Loss.
		 
	 	                (f)            The
			 Lessee shall pay, on an After-Tax Basis, all reasonable, documented,
			 out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses
			 of its outside counsel) of the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture
			 Trustee and the Pass Through Trustee in connection with such
			 assignment.

	 
		SECTION 14.
		        MISCELLANEOUS
	 

	 
		Section
		14.1.          Consents;
		Cooperation. The Owner Participant covenants and agrees that it shall not
		unreasonably withhold or delay its consent with respect to any consent
		requested of the Lessor under the terms of the Operative Documents that by its
		terms is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Lessor.
	 

	 
		Section
		14.2.          Successor Owner
		Trustee. The parties hereto agree that the transfer or assignment pursuant
		to the terms of the Trust Agreement by the Owner Trustee to a successor Owner
		Trustee will not violate the terms of any Operative Document.
	 

	 
		Section
		14.3.          Bankruptcy of
		Trust Estate. If (a) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the
		property of a debtor subject to the reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy
		Code, as amended from time to time, (b) pursuant to such reorganization
		provisions the Owner Participant is required, by reason of the Owner
		Participant being held to have recourse liability to the debtor or the trustee
		of the debtor directly or indirectly, to make payment on account of any amount
		payable as principal or interest on the Notes, and (c) the Indenture Trustee
		actually receives any Excess Amount, as defined below, which reflects any
		payment by the Owner Participant on account of clause (b) above, the
		Indenture Trustee shall promptly refund to the Owner Participant such Excess
		Amount (and, to the extent so refunded, such amount owing under the Notes shall

			 of the Owner Participant, the Lessor, the Trust Company, (in its individual
			 capacity or as the Owner Trustee), the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
			 Company, the Pass Through Trustee, the Pass Through Trust Company or the
			 Certificateholders shall have any obligation or duty to the Lessee or to others
			 with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Operative

			 such Person is a party, and none of the Owner Participant, the Lessor, the
			 Trust Company (in its individual capacity or as the Owner Trustee), the
			 Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Company, the Pass Through Trustee, the Pass
			 Through Trust Company or the Certificateholders shall be liable for performance
			 by any other party hereto or to the other Operative Documents of such other
			 party’s obligations or duties hereunder. Without limitation of the
			 generality of the 

	 
		67
	 

	 

	 
	 

	 

	 	 	foregoing,
			 under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Owner Participant be liable for any
			 action or inaction on the part of the Lessor in connection with the

			 or not such action or inaction is caused by willful misconduct or gross
			 negligence of the Lessor, unless such action or inaction is at the written

			 required by Applicable Law, have any obligation to) request the approval or

			 Owner Participant will give the Lessee at least 15 days’ prior notice of

	 	 	Estate) and
			 deliver true, complete and fully executed copies to the Lessee of any amendment

			 any of the parties hereto or their successors or assigns; (ii) hereby
			 irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may

			 proceeding is improper or that this Agreement, the other Operative Documents,
			 or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such
			 court.
		 
	 	                (b)           TO
			 THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
			 IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY, IN ANY SUCH SUIT,
			 ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER OPERATIVE

			 prior written notice (to the extent permitted by law and to the extent
			 practicable) of such proposed disclosure;
		 
	 	                (g)           as
