      SECTION 6.1 PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES. The Shared Personnel shall perform
the Services with the same degree of care, skill and diligence with which they
perform similar services for the account of EPME and its affiliates. If the
Shared Personnel fail to perform all or part of the Services in accordance with

connection with this Agreement shall be to have the Shared Personnel re-perform
the deficient Services in accordance with such standards.

      SECTION 6.2 INDEMNIFICATION AND SUBROGATION.

            (a) In addition to all other obligations of East Coast hereunder,

expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), losses,
settlements, or liabilities (collectively, "Liabilities") incurred or asserted
against EPME or its Affiliates or the Shared Personnel in connection with this
Agreement and performance of the Services pursuant hereto, including Liabilities
(i) resulting from any failure on the part of East Coast to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) arising as a result of, or in any way
connected with, the negligence, fraud, bad faith, or willful misconduct of East
Coast, (iii) arising as a result of, or in any way connected with, the use,
operation, possession, control, maintenance, or repair of the facilities with
respect to which the Services are being performed, or (iv) arising from East
Coast having taken any action, or omitted to take any action after due notice of
the necessity therefor, and of the likely consequences of such act or omission,
preventing the Shared Personnel from performing any of the Services, but
excluding Liabilities to the extent that they result from the bad faith, fraud,
or willful misconduct of the Shared Personnel.

            (b) Whenever an entity entitled to indemnification under Section
6.2(a) above (such party, an "Indemnitee") shall learn of a Liability which
might entitle such Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement, the
Indemnitee shall promptly send a notice in writing to East Coast (for these
purposes, "Indemnitor") of all material facts within the Indemnitee's knowledge
with respect to such Liability and the amount thereof; provided, however, that
the Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be diminished by the failure to
give prompt notice only to the extent that the Indemnitee's failure to give such
notice was prejudicial to the rights of the Indemnitor. If, prior to the
expiration of fifteen (15) days from the provision of such notice, the
Indemnitor shall request, in writing, that such Liability not be paid, the
Indemnitee shall not pay the same, provided that the Indemnitor proceeds
promptly to negotiate, settle, or litigate, in good faith, such claim. The
Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in any such negotiation,
settlement, or litigation. The Indemnitee shall not be required to refrain from
paying any Liability which is represented by a court judgment or decree, unless
an appeal has been duly taken therefrom and execution thereof has been stayed.

      SECTION 6.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

            (a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
neither East Coast, EPME, nor any of their respective Affiliates or the Shared
Personnel, shall be liable in connection with this Agreement or the performance
of the Services for any consequential or direct loss or damage, including loss
or revenues, cost of capital, loss of goodwill, increased operating costs, or
any other special or incidental damages.

            (b) EPME shall have no liability to East Coast for any loss or
damage arising out of or resulting from the activities of EPME or the Shared
Personnel. The parties agree that East Coast's only remedy for breach of this
Agreement by EPME or the Shared Personnel shall be for East Coast to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Article 4, or to have the Shared Personnel re-perform
services as provided in Section 6.1.

            (c) The Parties further agree that the waivers and disclaimers of
liability, indemnities, releases from liability, and limitations on liability
expressed in this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this
Agreement, and shall apply whether in contract, equity, tort, or otherwise, even
in the event of the fault, negligence (including sole negligence), strict
liability, or breach of the party indemnified or released, or whose liabilities
are limited, and shall extend to the Affiliates of the respective parties.

      SECTION 6.4 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 6.1 AND 7.2 HEREOF, EPME MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF THE SHARED

                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

      SECTION 8.1 EXECUTIVE RESOLUTION. If any dispute or disagreement shall
arise between EPME and East Coast in connection with or arising out of this
Agreement the parties shall attempt to settle such dispute by requesting, upon
written notice by one party to the other, that an officer or a senior management
official on behalf of each of EPME and East Coast meet and attempt to resolve
the dispute. In the event that such officers are unable to resolve such dispute
within thirty (30) days of such notice, upon the written request of either
party, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 8.2
below. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any disagreement,
dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement
shall be settled exclusively and finally by commercial arbitration as provided
below.

      SECTION 8.2 COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION. In the event that EPME and East Coast
fail to resolve a dispute pursuant to Section 8.1 above, the party initiating
arbitration proceedings may request arbitration, to be held before a tribunal of
three (3) neutral arbitrators. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such a
request, each party's authorized representative shall confer with the other and
indicate its appointment of an arbitrator. Within twenty (20) days after the
receipt of the request for arbitration, the two (2) arbitrators so appointed
shall attempt to agree on a third arbitrator. If one (1) or more parties have
not been appointed an arbitrator, or if two (2) appointed arbitrators cannot
agree on a third arbitrator, by twenty (20) days after the receipt of the
request for commercial arbitration, then either party may request the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") to appoint the required remaining number of
arbitrators. The AAA shall choose arbitrators familiar with the industry
standards for international private power facilities in accordance with its
Construction Industry Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Large
Complex Disputes ("AAA Rules"), which rules shall govern the conduct of the
arbitration in the absence of contrary agreement by all parties. The arbitration
shall be held in Houston, Texas. All proceedings shall be conducted in English
(by translation, if necessary). The arbitrators shall not have the power to add
to or amend this Agreement. The parties exclude any right of application or
appeal to any courts in connection with any question of law or other issues
arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made. Subject
to such limitation, the decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding,
and the arbitrators shall be entitled to grant equitable awards compelling
specific performance or restraining any actual or threatened breach of any
material obligations of the Agreement. The decision of the arbitrators shall
determine and specify how the expenses of the arbitration shall be allocated.
Within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the hearing, unless such
time is extended by agreement, the

                                       7
<PAGE>   9
arbitral tribunal shall render their award, stating separately findings of act
and determinations of law. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final
and judgment may be entered in accordance with applicable law in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

      SECTION 8.3 CONSOLIDATION. To the extent that either the parties agree, or
the arbitrators rule, that (i) any dispute subject to arbitration hereunder is
related to one or more other disputes that are pending with respect to this
Agreement or the Services being performed hereunder, with one or more common
parties being involved, (ii) such other disputes are being arbitrated, (iii)
judicial economy could be achieved and/or the possibility of conflicting
outcomes avoided if the arbitrations regarding the various disputes were to be
joined and the issues presented wholly or partly in one proceeding, then the
parties to the dispute hereunder and the appointed arbitrators shall take all
actions necessary or advisable to accomplish such joinder.

      SECTION 8.4 CONTINUATION OF SERVICES AND PAYMENTS. Pending resolution of
any disputes hereunder, EPME will continue to follow East Coast's direction with
respect to the subject matter thereof, at East Coast's expense.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      SECTION 9.1 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

      SECTION 9.2 HEADINGS. Titles and headings of the Sections and Subsections
of this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and do not form a
part of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the interpretation of
this Agreement.

      SECTION 9.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall insure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto, provided that any
transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions
hereof to the same extent its transferor was bound with respect to the
transferred interest. However, EPME shall not assign its rights or obligations
hereunder (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written
consent of East Coast, unless the transfer is to an Affiliate of EPME and the
performance of such Affiliate has been guaranteed by EPME. Any assignment
contrary to the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall be void.

      SECTION 9.4 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party hereto shall be deemed to be in
breach or in violation of this Agreement if either is prevented from performing
any of its obligations hereunder (other than a payment default) by reason of the
occurrence of a Force Majeure Event.

      SECTION 9.5 SUBCONTRACTING. EPME, in EPME's discretion with the prior
written approval of East Coast, may subcontract with Affiliates, and may
subcontract with third parties for the performance of professional services, but
may not otherwise subcontract for the performance of services to be performed by
EPME under this Agreement.

      SECTION 9.6 WAIVER. The waiver of any breach of any term or condition
hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any other or any subsequent breach,
whether of like or different nature.

      SECTION 9.7 SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Agreement or
the performance thereof shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect or render invalid or
unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be
valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      SECTION 9.8 AMENDMENT. No modification or amendment of this Agreement
shall be valid unless in writing, executed by all of the parties hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, EPME may, upon written notice to East Coast, add
additional managers to this Agreement, by means of written amendments hereto
executed by EPME and such additional managers.

      SECTION 9.9 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas as applied to
contracts made and wholly performed within said State.

      SECTION 9.10 NOTICE PROVISIONS. All notices and other communications
required or permitted by any agreement referencing these Notice Provisions shall
be in writing and shall become effective when delivered by hand or received by
telex, telecopier, telegram or such other method of telecommunication capable of
creating a writing, with receipt confirmed by answer back or otherwise, or when

measuring equipment installed on Buyer's property pursuant to Section 5.2
hereof.

                  (e) (i) Buyer shall grant all easements necessary to provide
Seller access, including but not limited to the right of ingress and egress for
pedestrian, vehicular and other traffic as Seller may reasonably require, to any
areas of Buyer's property for the alteration, relocation or reconstruction of
the Steam Supply System and the Facilities (including the related construction
and installation of any replacement facilities), as may be necessary or
desirable to maintain a steam line connection between the Cogeneration Facility
and the Buyer's Plant as well as access to any future measurement equipment
described in Section 5.2 hereof, and all easements granted under this Section
2.2(e) shall be in recordable form and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller to have
such easements recorded. As soon as practicable after the completion of any such

replacement facilities to Buyer for a nominal fee.

                           (ii) Buyer agrees that Seller shall have the right,
and shall grant Seller such easements as may be necessary, in accordance with
the first paragraph of this Section 2.2(e), to relocate the steam line on
Buyer's property, at Seller's sole expense, as may be required in connection
with a change in ownership or operations of Buyer or Seller, and that any and
all easements granted to Seller by Buyer shall survive the transfer of ownership
of Buyer's property encumbered by such easements. Buyer agrees that it shall use
its best efforts to assist Seller in obtaining a consent and subordination
agreement from any lender or other person holding a senior interest in any of
Buyer's property encumbered by such easements, which consent and subordination
agreements shall give Seller the senior interest in such property.

                                    SECTION 3
                                  SALE OF STEAM

         3.1 General.

                  (a) Commencing on the first day following notice by Seller
that it has completed construction and testing of the Steam Supply System and
Facilities, which is presently estimated to be December 1, 2000, Buyer shall
purchase and accept from Seller and Buyer shall

use in its own industrial processes Cogenerated Steam delivered to Buyer at the
Points of Delivery of Steam, an amount of Cogenerated Steam equal to Buyer's
Steam Requirement.

                  (b) (i) Subject to any remaining obligations of Seller to
provide steam to Camden Paperboard Corporation pursuant to that certain Energy
Purchase Agreement between Seller and Camden Paperboard Corporation dated as of
December 18, 1989, and as amended on March 5, 1992, Seller agrees to provide
Buyer with all of Buyer's Steam Requirement up to but not exceeding 60 k-lbs.
per hour (measured as an instantaneous rate) whenever Seller's Cogeneration
Facility is operating and capable of producing Cogenerated Steam. Buyer shall be
required to take and use any and all Cogenerated Steam made available by Seller
at the Point of Delivery of Steam up to but not exceeding Buyer's Steam
Requirement provided such delivery of Cogenerated Steam does not unduly
interfere with Buyer's operations. Seller shall provide notice to Buyer of any
material change in the status of Seller's obligations to provide steam pursuant
to the Energy Purchase Agreement described in this subsection.

                           (ii) As available and upon request of Buyer, Seller
may supply Buyer with Cogenerated Steam in excess of 60 k-lbs. per hour up to a
maximum of 75 k-lbs. per hour provided Seller is not materially adversely
affected under any existing contractual agreement of Seller to sell electricity
or steam to third parties.

                           (iii) If at any time there has been a Material Change
in Seller's obligations, as they exist as of the date hereof, to provide
electricity pursuant to that certain Power Purchase and Interconnection
Agreement between Public Service Electric and Gas Company ("PSE&G") and Seller
dated as of April 15, 1988, and as amended on June 12, 1990 and as further
amended and transmitted to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities on August
21, 1990, then Seller may, at its sole discretion and upon not less than thirty
(30) days notice, terminate without any further obligation the delivery of
Cogenerated Steam to Buyer and the Parties shall meet to determine if mutually
agreeable terms can be negotiated for the sale and purchase of Cogenerated Steam
thereafter. As used herein, a Material Change will be deemed to occur when there
is any change in PSE&G's right to direct the dispatch of the Cogeneration
Facility for the production of electricity or if Seller is no longer required to
or determines to no longer maintain the Qualifying Status of the Cogeneration
Facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility pursuant to the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA") or PURPA is no longer in effect or
applicable to the Cogeneration Facility.

         3.2 Scheduling. Commencing on the first day of the Month following the
first delivery of Cogenerated Steam under this Agreement, Seller shall, at any
time upon Buyer's request, give Buyer its best estimate of the availability for
delivery of Cogenerated Steam from Seller to Buyer. Such estimates shall be for
Buyer's convenience only, and Seller shall not in any way be bound by such
estimates, which shall be subject to change without notice. Seller shall advise
Buyer of any significant changes in the expected availability for delivery of
such Cogenerated Steam as soon as reasonably practicable.

         3.3 Specifications of Steam. All Cogenerated Steam shall meet the
specifications set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto. Seller shall treat the
demineralized boiler feed water normally used in the production of Cogenerated
Steam only with such chemicals as set forth in Exhibit 2 hereof.

                                    SECTION 4
                                  COST OF STEAM

         4.1 Monthly Steam Charge. Buyer shall pay to Seller a monthly steam
charge ("Monthly Steam Charge") for Cogenerated Steam delivered to Buyer in any
Month as follows:

                  (a) For each of the first 10,000 k-lbs. of Cogenerated Steam,
an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Buyer's Avoided Fuel Cost per k-lb.;

                  (b) For each of the next 3,000 k-lbs. of Cogenerated Steam, an
amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of Buyer's Avoided Fuel Cost per
k-lb.;

                  (c) For each of the next 9,000 k-lbs. of Cogenerated Steam, an
amount equal to zero percent (0%) of Buyer's Avoided Fuel Cost per k-lb.; and

                  (d) For each additional k-lb. of Cogenerated Steam in excess
of 22,000 k-lbs., an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Buyer's Avoided Fuel
Cost per k-lb.

                                    SECTION 5
                            MEASUREMENT AND METERING

         5.1 Units of Measurement. For the purposes of this Agreement,
Cogenerated Steam shall be measured in k-lbs. of steam mass flow.

         5.2 Seller's Measuring Equipment. Seller shall use existing measuring
equipment at the Seller's Cogeneration Facility less a mutually agreed upon
factor for line loss, if any. Seller shall design, install, operate, maintain,
and own all measuring equipment necessary for an accurate determination of the
quantity of Cogenerated Steam delivered at the Point of Delivery of Steam. Any
such measurement equipment shall be owned by Seller and shall be of a type
acceptable to both parties. Except as provided in Section 5.4, Seller's meters
shall be used for quantity measurements under this Agreement.

         5.3 Buyer's Measuring Equipment. Buyer may design, install, operate,
maintain, and own, at its sole expense, steam measuring equipment, provided that
Buyer shall not interfere with Seller's Steam Supply System or with Seller's
measuring equipment.

                                       7
<PAGE>   11

         5.4 Alternative Means of Measurement. In the event Seller's measuring
equipment is out of service or registers inaccurately, measurement shall be
determined by:

                  (a) In the event that Seller's metering equipment is out of
         service, by using the registration of any other meter or meters of
         Seller, if installed and accurately registering; or

                  (b) In the absence of an installed and accurately registering
         primary or alternate meter of Seller, measurement may be determined
         using the registration of any meter or meter of Buyer if such is
         installed and accurately registering; or

                  (c) In the absence of both an installed and accurately
         registering meter of Seller and Buyer as set forth in (a) and (b),
         above, estimating by reference to quantities measured during periods
         under similar conditions when Seller's meter was registering
         accurately; or

                  (d) In the absence of an ability to use any of the above
         methods of measurement, estimating by reference to Buyer's operating
         records for the period in question.

         5.5 Testing and Corrections.

                  (a) Testing. The accuracy of Seller's measuring equipment
shall be tested and verified by Seller at semi-annual intervals in Buyer's
presence. The calibration procedure to be used under this Section 5.5 shall be
consistent with the meter manufacturer's recommendations and accomplished prior
to the time Seller first delivers Cogenerated Steam to Buyer. In the event that
either Party notifies the other that it desires a test of its own or of the
other Party's measuring equipment, the Parties shall cooperate to secure a
prompt verification of the accuracy of such equipment.

                  (b) Costs of Testing. Seller shall bear the cost of the
testing and any required adjustments of Seller's measuring equipment done at
semi-annual intervals. In the event that Buyer requests a testing of Seller's
measuring equipment at other than semi-annual intervals, Buyer shall bear the
cost of the testing unless such equipment is found to be inaccurate by greater
than two percent (2%).

                  (c) Corrections of Measuring Equipment. If, upon testing, any
measuring equipment is found to be inaccurate by less than two percent (2%),
previous recordings of such equipment shall be considered accurate in computing
deliveries of Cogenerated Steam hereunder, but such equipment shall be promptly
adjusted to record correctly to the extent possible. If, upon testing, any
measuring equipment shall be found to be inaccurate by greater than two percent
(2%), then such equipment shall be promptly adjusted to record properly, to the
extent possible, and any previous recordings by such equipment shall be
corrected to zero error, to the extent possible, and Seller shall promptly send
to Buyer, pursuant to Section 6, billing adjustments based on such corrected
recordings. If no reliable information exists as to when the equipment became
inaccurate, it shall be assumed for correction purposes hereunder that such
inaccuracy began at a point in time midway between the testing date and the last
previous date on which the equipment was tested and found to be accurate or
adjusted to be accurate.

         5.6 Maintenance. Each Party shall have the right to be present whenever
the other Party reads, cleans, changes, repairs, inspects, tests, calibrates, or
adjusts its measuring equipment. Each Party shall give timely notice to the
other Party in advance of taking any of such actions.

         5.7 Measurement/Notice. Commencing on or about the first day of the
second calendar month subsequent to the date Seller first sells Cogenerated
Steam to Buyer and thereafter on the first day of each calendar month during the
term of this Agreement, Seller shall cause Seller's measuring equipment to be
read, determine the quantities of Steam delivered to Buyer during the
immediately preceding calendar month, and promptly notify Buyer in writing of
such quantities.

                                    SECTION 6
                               BILLING AND RECORDS

         6.1 Billing.

                  (a) Monthly Bill to Buyer. On or before the fifteenth (15th)
day of each month, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an invoice setting
forth the Monthly Steam Charge as set forth in Section 4.1 for the preceding
month. Such invoice shall also set forth the other information called for in
Exhibit 3 and shall be in the form shown in Exhibit 3. If Seller from time to
time does not know Buyer's Avoided Fuel Cost for purposes of Exhibit 3
calculations for the month in question when Seller prepares an invoice pursuant
to this Section 6.1(b), Seller may estimate such cost using all available data.
To the extent that an estimate is provided and used for purposes of
determination of Buyer's Avoided Fuel Cost per k-lb. in Exhibit 3, Seller shall
determine the actual Buyer's Avoided Fuel Cost for that Month as soon thereafter
as practical and compute Buyer's Avoided Fuel Cost per k-lb. Seller shall make
the appropriate adjustment in the following Month's invoice.

                  (b) Other Adjustments. Seller shall promptly prepare and
deliver to Buyer an invoice setting forth any adjustments for discrepancies in
billing identified through meter verifications or for any other reason which
would result in reimbursement of billed amounts to Buyer or additional payments
by Buyer to Seller.

         6.2 Payment. Buyer shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt of
Seller's invoice setting forth the monthly bill to Buyer pursuant to Section
6.1(a), pay Seller for all amounts billed. Reimbursements or additional payments
pursuant to Section 6.1(b) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of
the billing adjustment invoice.

         6.3 Records. Both Seller and Buyer shall keep all invoices, receipts,
charts, computer printouts, punchcards, magnetic tapes, and other records
related to the volume and price of Cogenerated Steam sales made under this
Agreement, including Buyer's avoided fuel cost and all calculations based on
such records. Such records shall be made available for inspection and copying by
either Party or their representatives upon reasonable notice. Each Party shall
keep all such materials for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of their
preparation.

                                  FORCE MAJEURE

         9.1 Definition. Except for the obligations of the Parties to make
payments when due under this Agreement, either Party shall be excused from
delays in performance or failures to perform its obligations hereunder and shall
not be liable to the unaffected Party in damages or otherwise, if and only to
the extent that such delays or failures are caused by Force Majeure. The term
"Force Majeure" means any cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected
Party, including, without limitation, any unforeseen and sudden failure of
equipment at either Buyer's Plant or the Cogeneration Facility, storm, flood,
lightning, drought, earthquake, fire, explosion, civil disturbance, labor
dispute, act of God or the public enemy, or action of a court or governmental
authority. Financial distress of either Party, late delivery of materials or
equipment (unless itself caused by Force Majeure), or inadequate performance by
contractors (unless itself caused by Force Majeure) shall not be considered
Force Majeure.

         9.2 Burden of Proof. The burden of proof as to whether a Force Majeure
event or condition has occurred shall be upon the affected Party.

         9.3 Condition. If a Party relies on Force Majeure as a basis for being
excused from performance of its obligations under this Agreement, then the
affected Party shall:

                  (a) Provide prompt oral notice to the unaffected Party,
         confirmed promptly in writing, of the occurrence of the event or
         condition, with an estimate of its expected duration and the probable
         impact on the performance of its obligations hereunder;

                  (b) Exercise all reasonable efforts to continue to perform its
         obligations hereunder;

         condition giving rise to its excusal from performance.

         9.4 Labor Disputes. This Section 9 shall not require the settlement of
any strike, walkout, lockout, or other labor dispute on terms which, at the
discretion of the affected Party, are contrary to its interests. The settlement
of such labor disputes shall be at the sole discretion of the affected Party.

         10.1 Term. The Term of this Agreement shall be effective upon
execution, subject to any requisite approval of lenders and partners of Seller
being obtained by Seller not later than November 30, 2000, and shall continue

notice to Seller, terminate this Agreement without further obligation to Seller
not earlier than December 1, 2000 and not later than December 15, 2000 if, on or
before November 30, 2000 Seller shall have failed to obtain and notify Buyer
that all requisite approvals of lenders or partners of Seller have been
obtained. If Buyer exercises such right to terminate this Agreement, Seller
shall upon the presentation by Buyer of customary documentation promptly pay
Buyer all of Buyer's reasonably incurred out of pocket expenses not exceeding
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) paid to third parties for engineering or the
procurement of equipment or both that are directly related to Buyer's
anticipated use of Cogenerated Steam pursuant to this Agreement.

         10.2 Expiration. At the expiration of the initial term or a renewal
term, if applicable, this Agreement and each party's obligation(s) hereunder
shall automatically terminate as of the effective date thereof; provided,
however, expiration of this agreement shall not relieve either party from any
obligation arising under this Agreement to pay any monies due to the other party
which monetary obligation was incurred prior to the date of expiration of this
Agreement.

                  The various rights, remedies, options, and elections of Buyer
and Seller as expressed herein are cumulative, and the failure of Buyer or
Seller to enforce strict performance by the other Party of the provisions of
this Agreement or to exercise any right, election, or option or to resort or
have recourse to any remedy herein conferred will not be construed or deemed to
be a waiver or a relinquishment of the future enforcement by Buyer or Seller of
any such provisions, rights, options, elections, or remedies, but the same will
continue in full force and effect.

                               NO RESALE OF STEAM

                  Buyer agrees that all Cogenerated Steam delivered to Buyer
from Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be used by Buyer in its operations
at Buyer's Plant. Buyer agrees that it will not sell any Cogenerated Steam to a
third party.

                                   SECTION 16
                                   AMENDMENTS

                  No amendment or modification of the terms of this Agreement
shall be binding on either Buyer or Seller unless reduced to writing and signed
by both Parties.

                                   SECTION 17
                             SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

         17.1 Assignment by Buyer. At any time Buyer may sell or transfer all or
any part of Buyer's Plant or Buyer's property to any Affiliate of Buyer or any
third party. If Buyer sells or

                                       14
<PAGE>   18

otherwise transfers all of Buyer's Plant to any entity, this Agreement shall
automatically be assigned to such entity and shall be binding on and inure to
the benefit of any such entity.

         17.2 Assignment by Seller. Seller may assign this Agreement to any
entity, if Seller sells or otherwise transfers all of the Cogeneration Facility
to such entity.

         17.3 Continuing Obligations. No assignment of this Agreement by Buyer
or Seller shall operate to relieve Buyer or Seller of any obligations under this
Agreement which have accrued prior to the effective date of the assignment. An
obligation shall be deemed to have accrued before the effective date of an
assignment only if all the substantive elements of the obligation have accrued
by that date. An assignment of this Agreement shall relieve the assignor of any
obligations to the other Party under this Agreement which have not accrued
before the effective date of the assignment; provided, however, that the
assignor shall continue to be obligated under this Agreement if any such
assignment shall be ineffective.

                  Should any term or provision of this Agreement be found
invalid by any court or regulatory body having jurisdiction thereover, the
Parties shall immediately renegotiate in good faith such term or provision of
the Agreement to eliminate such invalidity, consistent with the intent of this
Agreement.

                                   SECTION 20
                     CONSENT NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD

                  Whenever either Party requests any consent, permission, or
approval which may be required or desired by that Party pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, the other Party shall not unreasonably condition
or withhold or postpone the grant of such consent, permission, or approval.

                                   SECTION 21

are unable to resolve any dispute consistent with Section 20.1 hereof, the
parties are free to pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity.
