                                    (f) This Amendment and the Assignment and
Assumption (Loan Agreement), when executed and delivered by the Borrower, and
the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, will be the legally valid and

and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on and after
the Amendment Effective Date (i) all references in the Loan Agreement to "this
Agreement", "hereto", "hereof", "hereunder" or words of like import referring to
the Loan Agreement shall mean the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment,
and (ii) all references in the other Loan Documents to the "Loan Agreement",
"thereto", "thereof", "thereunder" or words of like import referring to the Loan
Agreement shall mean the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as
expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment shall not operate as an amendment of any right, power or remedy of the
Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor
constitute an amendment of any provision of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

                                    (b) Counterparts. This Amendment may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                                    (c) Headings. Section headings herein are

governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and
any other related agreements, instruments and documents.

                                    (f) Amendment as Loan Document. The Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment constitutes a "Loan Document"
under the Loan Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the
Loan Agreement if any representation or warranty made by the Borrower under or
in connection with this Amendment shall have been untrue, false or misleading in
any material respect when made.

                                    (g) No Waiver. This Amendment is not a
waiver of, or consent to, any Default or Event of Default now existing or
hereafter arising under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document and the
Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve all of their rights and remedies under
the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, under applicable law or
otherwise.

         responsible for or retain any obligation or liability of Seller to IDA
         with respect to the Service Agreement Settlement Agreement or any other
         Liabilities of Seller to IDA arising with respect to the period prior
         to the Closing other than Liabilities arising from WTI's negligence,
         recklessness or willful misconduct prior to Closing;

                  (vii) a deed from the IDA in favor of Seller conveying the
         Northern Parcels to Seller free and clear of all Liens, except those
         created by or in favor of the Seller and its Affiliates or any
         Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Bond Indenture); provided,
         however, that the conveyance shall be free and clear of any Liens
         arising or existing in connection with the Bond Indenture and/or the
         Installment Sale Agreement; and

                  (viii) all Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes that are to
         be filed in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.

         (e) At Closing, Seller will execute and deliver to the IDA each of the
ARRA-IDA Deliverables to which Seller is a party.

         (f) At Closing, WTI shall cause the IDA to deliver each of the IDA-ARRA
Deliverables to Seller.

         (g) At Closing, there shall also be delivered to Seller and Purchasers
the opinions, certificates and other contracts, documents and instruments
required to be delivered under Articles VII and VIII.

         (h) WTI shall cause the IDA to deliver such additional documents and
instruments and take such additional actions as necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         Section 1.5 Proration; Reserved Construction Contract Rights.

         (a) Proration. To the extent not included in the Passthrough Costs (as
defined in the Service Agreement) and allocated under the Service Agreement
Settlement Agreement, the amount of charges for sewer, water, telephone,
electricity and other utilities and any Taxes in the nature of ad valorem Taxes
relating to the Real Property, the Tangible Personal Property and the ownership
and operation of the Facility ("Straddle Expenses") will be allocated pro rata
per diem for the tax year (or other applicable payment period) that includes the
date of Closing, with Seller liable for such items to the extent they are
allocable to the period prior to the date of the Closing and the applicable
Purchasers liable for such items, to the extent they are allocable to periods
beginning with and subsequent to the Closing. Seller will arrange for the cutoff
of telephone, water, sewer and electricity utility service at the Facility at
the Closing Date and it shall be WTI's responsibility to arrange for restoration
of service from these utilities on and following the Closing Date. Except as
otherwise agreed by the parties, the net amount of all such pro-rations will be
settled and paid pursuant to paragraph 1.5(b).

                                       11
<PAGE>

         (b) The parties agree that, regardless of which party receives an
invoice therefor, Seller shall remain liable for costs of goods or other
property delivered prior to Closing and for services performed prior to Closing,
and WTI shall be liable for costs of goods and other property delivered pursuant
to a Business Contract after the Closing (even if Seller ordered the same prior
to Closing) and for services to be performed after Closing pursuant to a
Business Contract. At Closing, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to
reconcile these costs based on purchase orders issued by Seller prior to Closing
for such goods, property and/or services and to effect a cash adjustment (a
"Cutoff Payment"). After Closing, if either party receives an invoice or payment
demand for which the other party is liable (and for which the receiving party
has not received the cash adjustment provided for in the previous sentence) it
shall forward a copy of such invoice or payment demand to the other party along
with a notice directing the other party to reimburse the receiving party or to
pay the invoice or payment demand directly, and the responsible party shall pay
the invoice or reimburse the other party within ten (10) days of receipt of such
invoice. Each party shall have the right to contest any invoice in good faith,
and at its own expense, provided such contesting party provides written notice
of its intent to contest to the other party, which notice shall provide the
contesting party's express agreement to indemnify the other party for any Claims
incurred as a result of the contested invoice. Seller shall remain solely liable
for any Retained Liabilities, whether arising before, on or after the Closing
Date. WTI shall be solely liable for any WTI Assumed Liabilities whether arising
before, on or after the Closing Date.

         (c) Reserved Construction Contract Rights. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the assignment by Seller to WTI at
the Closing of all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under
that certain Second Amended and Restated Construction Contract, dated as of
October 28, 1988 and as amended through January 20, 1989, between the IDA and
Seller (the "Construction Contract"), Seller shall retain, equally but severally
with WTI, the rights of Seller against the IDA (including but not limited to the
right to receive payments and indemnity from the IDA for certain environmental
matters) pursuant to and under, and to enforce the provisions of, Sections
2.02(c) and 11.03 of the Construction Contract (collectively, the "Reserved
Construction Contract Rights"). The Reserved Construction Contract Rights shall,
at the Closing, be assigned to WTI but shall also be held and retained by Seller
concurrently with WTI. Such retention shall be without prejudice to the
assignment by Seller to WTI of such Reserved Construction Contract Rights as
provided herein and in the WTI Assignment Instruments (including, without
limitation, the ability of WTI and Seller to each exercise fully and
independently their rights with respect thereto). The IDA has consented to such
retention by Seller in its consent to assignment of the Service Agreement to WTI
and in the ARRA-IDA Mutual Release.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         (d) The parties recognize that after the Closing Date mail or other
correspondence addressed to Seller may be delivered to the Facility and
correspondence from Governmental Authorities may be addressed to Seller, even
though it relates to matters for which WTI is responsible or may have an
interest. After the Closing, WTI may (i) open mail or other items delivered to
the Facility that are addressed to Seller to determine whether such mail or
other items relate to matters that are WTI's responsibility and (ii) retain
copies of any such opened mail or other deliveries. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for a period of ninety (90) days after Closing WTI shall forward to
Seller or Seller's designee all mail or other deliveries addressed to Seller,
and thereafter WTI may elect to refuse delivery of mail or other items addressed
to Seller. Seller shall provide to WTI with copies of correspondence relating to
the Facility from Governmental Authorities that Seller receives after the
Closing which relate to matters that are WTI's responsibility.

         Section 1.6 Purchaser Approvals and Third Party Consents.

         (a) Purchaser Approvals. WTI, with Seller's cooperation, shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain (i) written approvals of Governmental
Authorities for Seller to transfer (or if appropriate, the reissuing authority
to reissue) the Transferable Permits to WTI as of Closing, (ii) the approvals of
the IDA, Washington County and Warren County to the Restructuring and the
transactions contemplated thereby and the execution and performance of the
Facility Transfer Agreement, including but not limited to all IDA-ARRA
Deliverables and (iii) permits listed on the Purchaser Approvals Schedule
(collectively, "Purchaser Approvals"). Seller agrees to cooperate with WTI in
securing the Purchaser Approvals and shall bear any expenses it incurs in
connection with such cooperation. WTI shall bear all other costs in connection
with securing such Purchaser Approvals.

         (b) Business Contracts. WTI shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to obtain the consents of counterparties to the Business Contracts being
assigned to WTI pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that such obligation shall
extend only to those Business Contracts that are listed on the Business
Contracts Schedule and identified on the Approvals Schedule as having an
explicit contractual provision that prohibits the assignment of Seller's
obligations thereunder to WTI (an "Anti-Assignment Clause"). If there is a
Contract listed on the Business Contracts Schedule which in fact has an
Anti-Assignment Clause, but is not identified on the Approvals Schedule as
having an Anti-Assignment Clause and the assumption of such Contract would cause
a Material Adverse Effect, WTI may, but shall not be obligated to, either (x)
use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the counterparties' consent to
assignment or (y) assume such Contract (unless WTI shall have been furnished
with a consent to the assignment thereof at or prior to Closing, in which case
WTI shall be obligated to assume it). Seller shall not be liable to WTI for
Claims arising out of the assignment of any Business Contract listed on the
Business Contracts Schedule that does not have an Anti-Assignment Clause. Seller
agrees to cooperate with WTI in obtaining such consents and shall bear any
expenses it incurs in connection with such cooperation. WTI shall bear all other
costs related to the obtaining of such counterparty consents.

                                       13
<PAGE>

          (c) To the extent that any Business Contract, Assigned Intellectual
Property, Warranty or Transferable Permit is not assignable or transferable
without the consent of another party or the approval of, or filing with, a
Governmental Authority, the execution of this Agreement, in and of itself, shall
not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment or transfer thereof.

         Section 1.7 Risk of Loss to Assets; Damage to Facility.

         (a) During the Post-Signing Period, all risk of loss or damage to the
property included in the Assets (including the Facility and the Facility Site)
shall be borne by Seller, other than loss or damage caused by the acts or
negligence of WTI or its representative, which loss or damage shall be the
responsibility of WTI.

         (b) If during the Post-Signing Period any of the Assets (including the
Facility and the Facility Site) is destroyed or damaged or taken in condemnation
(collectively, a "Loss Event"), (i) Seller shall promptly notify WTI of such
Loss Event, (ii) prior to the Closing, Seller shall, at its expense, repair,
replace or take such other action with respect to the Assets, the Facility
and/or such Loss Event so that the damaged, destroyed or taken property is
restored to a condition that meets the requirements of the Service Agreement and
the Seller's Bond Documents and the Facility is fully operational ("Corrective
Action"), (iii) Seller may retain any and all available insurance or other
proceeds related thereto, as and to the extent required under (and subject to
and in accordance with) the existing provisions of the Service Agreement and
Seller's Bond Documents, and (iv) once the Corrective Action has been completed,
the Closing shall occur as scheduled.

         (c) If the insurance or other proceeds arising from the Loss Event are
not available to Seller for the Corrective Action due to the filing with the
Trustee of the certificate described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of
Section 7.3 of the Installment Sale Agreement or the certificate described in
Sections 7.4(a) or 7.4(b)(1) of the Installment Sale Agreement (as applicable),
and WTI does not elect to waive the requirements of this Section 1.7 for
Corrective Action, either party may terminate this Agreement upon twenty (20)
day's notice to the other party and to the IDA.

         (d) In the event that WTI desires to perform such Corrective Action in
lieu of Seller, the parties will in good faith attempt to negotiate the terms
and conditions under which WTI shall perform such Corrective Action and, if
mutually agreed to, shall execute a written agreement setting forth such terms
and conditions, and Seller shall make available to WTI any insurance proceeds to
which Seller is entitled under the existing Service Agreement and Seller's Bond
Documents to be applied towards WTI's Corrective Action costs in accordance with
such written agreement. In the event that Seller, with WTI's consent, performs
any Corrective Action which continues after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against
Claims asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee as a
result of or in connection with any negligence of Seller or of Seller's agents,
representatives and/or independent contractors engaged by Seller in performing
such Corrective Action.

<PAGE>

         The provisions of this Section 1.7 shall be construed as express
provisions in lieu of the provisions Section 5-1311 of the New York State
General Obligations Law, the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act, which the
parties agree shall be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.

         Section 1.8 Post-Closing Cooperation and Access; Further Assurances.

         (a) To the extent that Seller's rights under any Warranty may not be
assigned without the consent of another Person, which consent has not been
obtained by the Closing Date, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement
to assign same, if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof, or
be unlawful. Seller and WTI agree that if any consent to an assignment of any
such Warranty shall not be obtained, or if any attempted assignment would be
ineffective or would impair WTI's rights and obligations under the Warranty in
question, so that WTI would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights
and obligations, Seller, at WTI's expense, shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts, to the extent permitted by Law and such Warranty, to enforce such
Warranty for the benefit of WTI so as to provide WTI, to the maximum extent
possible, with the benefits and obligations of such Warranty.

         (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time
or from time to time after the Closing, at the other party's request and without
further consideration, Seller and WTI, as applicable, shall (at the expense of
the requesting party) execute and deliver to the party making such request such
other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assumption, release, consent,
assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information and take
such other actions as the requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or
desirable in order more effectively to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. In furtherance of, and without limiting, the foregoing,
promptly following the Closing WTI and Seller shall, at WTI's expense, jointly
notify all counterparties to all Business Contracts (including, without
limitation, purchase orders) of the assignment of such Business Contracts to
WTI. The notice given to counterparties shall contain instructions to such
counterparties, consistent with Section 1.1(b)(vii) and the definition of WTI
Assumed Liabilities, as to the making of payments due or payable under such
Business Contracts.

         (c) Following the Closing, each party will afford the other party, its
counsel and its accountants, during normal business hours, reasonable access to
the books, records and other data relating to Seller or the operation of the
Facility in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing and the
right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may
be reasonably required by the requesting party in connection with the Assets,
including (i) the preparation of Returns, (ii) the determination or enforcement
of rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) compliance with the
requirements of any Governmental Authority, (iv) the determination or
enforcement of the rights and obligations of any Indemnified Party or (v) in
connection with any actual or threatened action or proceeding. Further, each
party agrees for a period extending six (6) years after the Closing not to
destroy or otherwise dispose of any such books, records and other data unless
such party shall first offer in writing to surrender such books, records and
other data to the other party and such other party shall not agree in writing to
take possession thereof during the thirty (30) day period after such offer is
made. Any such information obtained by such party in accordance with this
paragraph shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

                                       15
<PAGE>

         (d) If, in order properly to prepare its Returns, other documents or
reports required to be filed with Governmental Authorities or its financial
statements or to fulfill its obligations hereunder, it is necessary that a party
be furnished with additional information, documents or records relating to the
operation of the Facility not referred to in paragraph (c) above, and such
information, documents or records are in the possession or control of the other
party, such other party shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to furnish
or make available such information, documents or records (or copies thereof) at
the recipient's request, cost and expense. Any information obtained by such
party in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the Confidentiality
Agreement.

         (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
1.8, if the parties are in an adversarial relationship in litigation or
arbitration, the furnishing of information, documents or records in accordance
with paragraphs (c) or (d) of this Section 1.8 shall be subject to applicable
rules relating to discovery and not the foregoing provisions.

                                   ARTICLE II
                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

         Seller hereby represents and warrants to WTI as follows:

         Section 2.1 Existence of Seller.

         Seller is a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in
good standing under the Laws of the State of New York, and has full limited
partnership power and authority to occupy, operate and maintain the Facility as
and to the extent now conducted and to own, use, lease, occupy and/or operate
the Assets as and to the extent now conducted. Seller is duly qualified or
licensed to do business as a foreign limited partnership and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the Assets make such qualification necessary,
except in each case in those jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly
qualified or licensed and in good standing would not create a Material Adverse
Effect. Seller has heretofore made available to WTI complete and correct copies
of its Certificate of Limited Partnership and Limited Partnership Agreement, as
currently in effect.

         Section 2.2 Authority.

         Seller has full limited partnership power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and the other Transfer Agreements to which it is a party,
to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including to sell and transfer
(pursuant to this Agreement) the Assets. The execution and delivery by Seller of
this Agreement and the other Transfer Agreements to which it is a party, and the
performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, have been
duly and validly authorized in accordance with Seller's limited partnership
agreement, with no other partnership action on the part of Seller or its
Partners being necessary. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Seller and constitutes, and, upon the execution and delivery by
Seller of the other Transfer Agreements to which it is a party, such other
Transfer Agreements will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of
Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms, except as the
same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium or other similar Laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors generally, or by general equitable principles.

                                       16

         Section 2.3 No Conflicts.

         Other than obtaining Purchaser Approvals, the execution and delivery by

other Transfer Agreements to which it is a party, the performance by Seller of
its obligations under this Agreement and such other Transfer Agreements and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not:

                  (i) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any of
         the terms, conditions or provisions of Seller's certificate of limited
         partnership or Seller's limited partnership agreement;

                  (ii) require any consent, approval, authorization, permit or
         other action of or filing with or notification to, any Governmental
         Authority, or except as set forth in the Approvals Schedule with
         respect to any Business Contracts containing an Anti-Assignment Clause,
         any other Person;

                  (iii) except as set forth in the Approvals Schedule and/or the
         Business Contracts Schedule, result in a default (or give rise to any
         right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or require any
         consent or approval) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
         of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, agreement or other
         instrument or obligation to which Seller is a party or by which Seller,
         or any of the Assets may be bound (excluding Seller's Bond Documents),
         except for such defaults (or rights of termination, cancellation or
         acceleration or any consent or approval) as to which requisite waivers
         or consents have been obtained;

                  (iv) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any
         term or provision of any Law applicable to Seller or any of its Assets;
         or

                  (v) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any
         term or provision of any Order applicable to Seller or any of its
         Assets.

other than, in the case of clauses (ii) through (iv), failures, defaults,
violations, conflicts and breaches which would not prevent Seller from
performing its material obligations under this Agreement or result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

not result in a Material Adverse Effect or those liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practices after May 23, 2003.

         Section 2.6 Personal Property.

         (a) Seller has good and valid title to (i) all of its tangible and
intangible personal properties and assets including, without limitation, all of
the tangible and intangible personal properties and assets reflected in the May
Balance Sheet, except as disposed of in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practices since May 23, 2003, and (ii) all of the tangible

free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), except as set forth on
the Personal Property Schedule. (The tangible and intangible personal properties
and assets referenced above in (i) and (ii) shall be referred to collectively as
the "Personal Property.")

         (b) Except as set forth on the Personal Property Schedule, all of the
Personal Property is in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, except where the failure of any such Personal Property to be in
such condition and repair would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Personal

applicable date(s) set forth therein that is material to the operation and
maintenance of the Facility.

         (c) Seller has not transferred or, except for Permitted Liens,

not owned or leased by Seller but are occupied and operated by Seller pursuant
to the terms of the Installment Sale Agreement and the Service Agreement or
otherwise with the acquiescence of the IDA. Seller has good and clear record,
valid, indefeasible and marketable title in fee simple to the real property

written notice from any Governmental Authority that its occupancy or operation
of the Facility is not in accordance with any zoning, land use or building Law
or the Facility is not in compliance with all set-back, zoning and land use
restrictions.

         plans, $100,000 or (y) may not be terminated without penalty by Seller
         within twelve (12) months;

                  (iii) any agreement or contract relating to capital
         expenditures in excess of, in each case, $25,000 for any single
         transaction or an aggregate of $50,000 during any calendar year for any

         (a) Except as required or specifically contemplated by this Agreement,
during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of
(a) the Closing Date and (b) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to

and franchises, (iii) keep available the services of its officers and employees,

         practices of Seller, (b) with cause, to the extent consistent with past
         practices of such Seller, or (c) as may be required in connection with
         transferring Seller's rights or obligations thereunder to pursuant to
         this Agreement, provided, that, prior to any such allowable
         modification, amendment or termination of Permits, Seller shall provide
         at least five (5) days advance written notice to WTI and copies of
         applications pertaining to such Permits;

                  (iii) except as otherwise provided herein, enter into any
         Material Contract relating to the Assets unless the Material Contract

         Seller (or, after the Closing, by WTI) without penalty or premium upon
         no more than 30 days' notice;

                  (iv) sell, assign or transfer any Intellectual Property;

                  (v) enter into any Order that would have a Material Adverse
         Effect on the operation (including operating costs or the throughput or
         output) of the Facility;

                  (vi) knowingly enter into any agreement, commit any act or
         omit to do any act, or engage in any activity or transaction or incur
         any obligation (by conduct or otherwise), which (individually or in the
         aggregate) would have a Material Adverse Effect;

                  (vii) (i) hire any new Employees prior to the Closing, other
         than to fill vacancies in existing positions in the reasonable
         discretion of Seller or in the ordinary course of business, (ii)
         increase salaries or wages of Employees prior to the Closing other than
         in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with Seller's past
         practices, (iii) take any action prior to the Closing to increase
         compensation and the aggregate benefits payable to Employees other than

<PAGE>

                  (ix) make any material change to the levels of Inventories
         customarily maintained by Seller or its Partners with respect to the
         Assets, other than changes that are in the ordinary course of business
         consistent with Seller's past practices; or

                  (x) except as otherwise provided herein, enter into any
         legally binding Contract with respect to any of the foregoing.

         The matters described above in paragraphs (i) - (x) of this Section
4.2(a) are referred to as "Proscribed Pre-Closing Actions"). The parties
expressly acknowledge and agree that: (x) this Section 4.2 shall not survive the
Closing, and (y) except for Seller's breach of Section 4.2 for the purposes of
preventing the Restructuring from being consummated, Seller's failure to remove
any Lien arising by or through Seller or Seller's violation of clause (i) of
this Section or Seller's failure to conduct normally scheduled maintenance of
the Facility in accordance with past practices and Seller's historical operating
philosophy, WTI shall not be entitled to damages for a breach by Seller of this
Section 4.2.

         (b) If during the Post-Signing Period, Seller enters into a Business
Contract that is not Assignable, Seller shall notify WTI, and WTI may, but shall
have no obligation to, assume Seller's obligations thereunder.

         (c) During the Post-Signing Period, Seller may, without prior notice to
or approval of WTI, enter into any (i) new Contracts which expire or terminate
on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) new Contracts for the disposal of waste at
the Facility that have been approved by the IDA or are otherwise permitted under
the Service Agreement, and (iii) new Contracts that are terminable by Seller
(or, after the Closing, by WTI) without penalty or premium upon no more than 30
days' notice (and which, subject to Section 4.2(b), in cases of clauses (ii) and
(iii) shall automatically become Business Contracts which WTI must assume).
During the Post-Signing Period, Seller shall, to the extent practicable, give
WTI at least five Business Day's notice prior to the execution thereof by Seller
of all other new Material Contracts and of all amendments to existing Business
Contracts that are to be effective after the Closing. If WTI objects to the
proposed Contract or amendment (if the proposed amendment would extend the term
of an existing Business Contract) and identifies a reputable and financially
responsible supplier of the goods or services whose terms not less favorable
than those in the proposed Contract or amendment, Seller shall execute a
Contract with the alternate supplier unless it in good faith determines it is
not in Seller's best interests to do so, in which event WTI shall not be
required to assume the Contract or amendment. If WTI fails to object to Seller's
execution of the proposed Contract or amendment, or objects but fails to
identify such an alternate supplier, before the date proposed in Seller's notice
for the execution of the Contract or amendment, Seller may execute the Contract
or amendment, which shall automatically become a Business Contract which,
subject to Section 4.2(b), WTI must assume. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller shall only give WTI such prior notice as is practicable of any Contract
(or amendments to existing Business Contracts) that Seller reasonably believes
it must execute in order to avoid imminent harm to persons or property or
material revenue losses or deal with other emergency situations and may execute
such Contract or amendment without taking into account any WTI objections, and
such Contract or amendment shall automatically become a Business Contract which,
subject to Section 4.2(b), WTI must assume. Nothing in this paragraph (c),
however, shall require WTI to assume any Contract that is entered into by Seller
during the Post-Signing Period in violation of Sections 4.2(a) or 4.2(b).

                                       36
<PAGE>

         (d) Seller shall provide WTI with copies of all Business Contracts
executed during the Post-Signing Period.

         Section 4.3 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

         (a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including but
not limited to Section 1.6), Seller and WTI shall cooperate and use their
respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts (i) to take, or cause to be taken,
all appropriate action, and to make, or cause to be made, all filings necessary,
proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) to fulfill the conditions
to consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Articles
VII and VIII hereof.

         (b) WTI shall pay any and all transfer fees and Transfer Taxes
necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and to fulfill the conditions to consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby set forth in Articles VII and VIII hereof.

         Section 4.4 Exclusive Dealing.

         During the Post-Signing Period, Seller shall not take (and Seller shall
not authorize or permit its Affiliates, and their respective officers,
directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors,
attorneys, accountants or other agents to so take) any action, directly or
indirectly, to encourage, solicit, initiate or engage in discussions or
negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person, other than the
Purchasers (and their Affiliates and representatives), concerning any
acquisition of the Assets or Seller or any purchase of all or any part of the
partnership, or other equity interests in, Seller or any merger, sale of
substantial assets or similar transaction involving Seller except as required by
Law.

         Section 4.5 Antitrust Filings.

         WTI and Seller agree that the transactions contemplated herein do not
require the consent of any Governmental Authority under any applicable antitrust
Laws.

         Section 4.6 Health Plan Continuation Coverage.

         The selling group as defined in the Treasury Regulation Section
54.4980B-9, Q/A-3, will be liable for any group health plan continuation
coverage that may be required pursuant to COBRA due to a qualifying event
experienced prior to or in connection with the Closing Date.

                                       37
<PAGE>

         Section 4.7 No Use of Name.

         After the Closing, none of IDA or WTI or any of their Affiliates shall
have any right to use the Foster Wheeler Intellectual Property; provided,
however, that for a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchasers
shall be permitted to continue to use for internal purposes only and not
otherwise for public use, materials bearing such Foster Wheeler Intellectual
Property (such as employee manuals) used by Seller prior to the Closing. Without
limiting the foregoing, within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, WTI
shall remove or cover any signs or other uses of the Foster Wheeler Intellectual
Property that are visible from outside the Facility.

         Section 4.8 Savings Plans.

         WTI and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) there shall be no
transfer of assets or liabilities from any defined contribution pension plan of
Seller or any of its Affiliates to any plan or arrangement of WTI, and (ii) WTI
and its Affiliates shall have no right, title or interest in any of the assets
of the Foster Wheeler Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Savings Plan") and shall have no
liability or responsibility respecting the Savings Plan.

         Section 4.9 Pension Plan.

         WTI and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) there shall be no
transfer of assets or liabilities from any defined benefit pension plan of
Seller or any of its Affiliates to any plan or arrangement of WTI, and (ii) WTI
and its Affiliates shall have no right, title or interest in any of the assets
of the Foster Wheeler Inc. Salaried Employees Pension Plan (the "Retirement
Plan") and shall have no liability or responsibility respecting the Retirement
Plan.

         Section 4.10 Post-Signing Period Disclosure Updates.

         (a) General. At any time and from time to time during the Post-Signing
Period, Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after Seller becomes
aware of the occurrence thereof, give WTI written notice in reasonable detail
(which notice shall make specific reference to this Section 4.10 and include any
necessary corresponding amendments or supplements to any Schedules hereto) (the
"Disclosure Bringdown") of the occurrence or existence of, or the impending
occurrence or existence of, (i) any fact, condition or event, which causes or
constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained
herein as of the date of execution of this Agreement (a "Pre-Signing Event") and
(ii) any fact, condition or event (other than a Pre-Signing Event) which would
cause or constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller
contained herein as of the Closing Date (a "Post-Signing Event"). If a
Pre-Signing Event or Post-Signing Event affects any representation or warranty
for which no Schedule exists, the Disclosure Bringdown may provide for an
additional Schedule for such representation or warranty and qualify the
representation or warranty by the words "except as provided in the attached
Schedule."

                                       38
<PAGE>

         Post-Signing Events which were not caused by acts or omissions of (and
were beyond the reasonable control of) Seller or its Affiliates are "Non-ARRA
Post Signing Events". All other Post-Signing Events are "ARRA Post-Signing
Events."

         (b) Cure. If Seller takes curative actions that eliminate all
reasonable possibility that a Pre-Signing Event described in a Disclosure
Bringdown would give rise to any material Claim being asserted against, or being
incurred by, a Purchaser or any WTI Indemnified Party in connection therewith
and describes such curative action to WTI in writing (1) such Pre-Signing Event
shall not be treated as the nonfulfillment of the conditions set forth in
Section 7.1 but (2) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in
this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Schedules hereto) shall not,
except for the purposes of clause (1) above, be deemed amended and modified by
the Disclosure Bringdown with respect to such Pre-Signing Event. Seller's
curative actions may include treating such Pre-Signing Event as a Retained
Liability, the escrow of funds or posting of collateral provided that the
requirements of the first sentence of this paragraph are met. If such
Pre-Signing Event is a Contract, Seller's agreement that such Contract will not
be assigned to WTI and shall be a Retained Liability shall be deemed ipso facto
to satisfy the first sentence of this Section 4.10(b).

         (c) WTI Election. If, as of the Closing Date, any one or more
Pre-signing Events or Post-Signing Events described in a Disclosure Bringdown
would cause a nonfulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1, unless
pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(1) the foregoing is not treated as the
nonfulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1, then WTI may elect,
at its option and in its sole discretion, either (x) to treat such Pre-Signing
Events and Post-Signing Events as the nonfulfillment of the conditions set forth
in Section 7.1 and terminate this Agreement or (y) to waive the conditions set
forth in Section 7.1 with respect to such Pre-Signing Events and Post-Signing
Events.

         (d) Effect of Termination. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and
agree that, subject to Section 4.10(f), if WTI elects to terminate this
Agreement due to a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1, WTI shall
not be entitled to seek damages based upon breach by Seller of this Agreement
due to the Pre-Signing Events and Post-Signing Events described in a Disclosure
Bringdown.

         (e) Effect of Waiver. If the Closing Date occurs, the representations
and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement (including, but not limited
to, the Schedules hereto) shall not be deemed amended and modified for purposes
of Section 9.2(a)(ii) by the Disclosure Bringdown for any Pre-Signing Events or
ARRA Post-Signing Events that caused a nonfulfillment of Section 7.1 but have
been waived, but, subject to paragraph (f), shall be deemed to be amended and
modified for purposes of Section 9.2(a)(ii) by the Disclosure Bringdown for all
other Pre-Signing Events and Post-Signing Events described therein including
Non-ARRA Post Signing Events that caused a nonfulfillment of Section 7.1 but
have been waived.

         (f) Exclusions. The provisions of Sections 4.10(b) through (e),
inclusive, shall not apply to (i) any Pre-Signing Event that was not disclosed
herein prior to execution of this Agreement due to fraud or for the express
purpose of breaching this Agreement (including the representations or
warranties) or knowingly delaying disclosure until after execution of this
Agreement or (ii) any Post-Signing Event that arose from Seller's fraud,
Seller's breach of Section 4.2 as described in clause (y) of the last sentence
of Section 4.2(a), Seller's breach of any other covenant herein or Seller's
breach of a representation or warranty for the express purpose of causing a
failure of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII or VIII. The
provisions of Sections 4.10(b) through (e), inclusive shall also not apply to a
Loss Event for which Corrective Action has been completed in accordance with
Section 1.7 or the entry into a new Contract or amendment to an existing
Contract pursuant to and in compliance with Section 4.2, in which cases (x) such
Post-Signing Event shall not be treated as the non-fulfillment of the conditions
set forth in Section 7.1 and (y) the representations and warranties of Seller
set forth in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Schedules
hereto) shall be deemed amended and modified by the Disclosure Bringdown with
respect to such Post-Signing Event.

         (g) Effect on Indemnity and Covenants. Nothing contained in Section
4.10 shall in and of itself be deemed to limit or affect any of (i) WTI's rights
to indemnification under Article IX with respect to any Pre-Signing Event or
Post-Signing Event, except to the extent that WTI's rights to indemnification
pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii) for the failure of any representation or warranty
made by Seller to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this
Agreement and as of the Closing Date have been modified by the adjustments to
the underlying representations and warranties and Schedules permitted by
Sections 4.10(e) or 4.10(f) or (ii) WTI's remedies for any breach of a covenant
by Seller hereunder or its rights to terminate the Agreement for the failure of
any condition set forth in Article VII other than Section 7.1.

         Section 4.11 Pre-Closing Environmental Investigations

         (a) WTI has conducted pre-closing environmental investigations pursuant
to the Access Agreement (annexed hereto as Exhibit V). WTI has previously
provided to Seller results from those investigations, including a Phase I Site
Investigation Report and portions of the Attachment II Data. Pursuant to the
Second Amendment to the Access Agreement (annexed hereto as Exhibit V), WTI may,
but is not obligated to, present to NYSDEC the Attachment II Data as part of its
applications for Permit transfers, provided, however, that NYSDEC's response to
the Attachment II Data under Article 27, Title 13, of the New York Environmental
Conservation Law or otherwise requiring or requesting further investigation or
Remediation of Hazardous Materials in the soils or groundwater at the Facility
Site, including for the avoidance of doubt, any response that requires the
collection of further data, will not be grounds for WTI to delay or cancel the
Closing once all Purchaser Approvals are issued to WTI. The transfer or issuance
of all NYSDEC environmental Permits to WTI shall remain a condition precedent to
Closing pursuant to Section 7.4. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Section 4.11(a) is intended to modify the provisions of Section 7.4, including
WTI's right to condition its obligation to purchase the WTI Assets on the
delivery of all Purchaser Approvals.

                                       40
<PAGE>

         (b) If NYSDEC requests that WTI collect groundwater samples from the
Facility Site prior to Closing, WTI is authorized to collect such samples
consistent with all applicable requirements of the terms of the Second Amendment
to the Access Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit V. At Seller's request, WTI
agrees not to volunteer to NYSDEC to collect such groundwater samples prior to
Closing. If NYSDEC requests additional samples, WTI shall notify Seller
immediately.

         (c) Notwithstanding any other agreement, Seller may use information
developed pursuant to this Section 4.11 to enforce its Reserved Construction
Contract Rights.

         (d) Nothing contained in this Section 4.11 is intended to or does
modify, alter, waive or satisfy any obligation assumed by Seller in Section 9.2
of this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   TAX MATTERS

         Section 5.1 Tax Matters.

         (a) Transfer Taxes. None of the transfer and sales taxes incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, (a) sales tax; and (b) the realty transfer taxes
on conveyances of interests in real property) ("Transfer Taxes") shall be borne
by Seller. WTI shall file or cause IDA to file, to the extent required by, or
permissible under, applicable Law, all necessary Returns and other documentation
with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law,
Seller shall join in the execution of any such Returns and other documentation;
provided, however, that WTI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of
the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims arising from or
related to such Transfer Taxes and any execution of such Returns by Seller.
Prior to the Closing Date, to the extent applicable, WTI shall provide or cause
IDA to provide to Seller appropriate certificates of Tax exemption from each
applicable taxing authority.

         (b) General Cooperation. WTI and Seller shall, at the requesting
party's expense, provide the other with such information relating to the Assets
as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with the
preparation of any Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing
authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability
for Taxes, and each shall retain, and provide the requesting party with, any
records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit, examination
or proceedings. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) or
pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or
review of any Return or other instrument relating to Taxes shall be subject to
the Confidentiality Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                    EMPLOYEES

         Section 6.1 Seller's Employees.

                                       41
<PAGE>

         (a) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Seller and WTI
shall meet with the Employees to notify the Employees of the execution of this
Agreement, the sale of Assets, and the termination of employment of the
Employees by Seller on the Closing Date. WTI shall simultaneously notify
Seller's Employees that it shall accept applications for employment with WTI
from Employees and advise Employees of its hiring procedures.

         (b) Any communications between WTI and Employees regarding any
prospective employment opportunities with WTI shall be communicated directly to
Employees and shall not in any way involve Seller. Nothing contained herein
shall require WTI to notify Seller of WTI's employment decision with respect to
any Employee or to establish the terms and conditions of employment between any
Employee and WTI. To the extent that Seller provides any records to WTI
consistent with applicable Law, the provision of such records shall not
constitute participation by Seller in WTI's hiring process. WTI shall conduct
its hiring processes and procedures in accordance with applicable Laws.

         (c) Seller shall make the Employees available for interviews at the
Facility by WTI upon reasonable advance notice and WTI agrees to schedule such
interviews in a manner to avoid disruption to Seller's business. WTI shall
conduct all other pre-employment screening or testing at a location other than
the Facility and Seller shall afford Employees reasonable time away from work to
participate in such other pre-employment screening processes utilized by WTI,
provided that such testing procedures are scheduled in a manner to avoid
disruption to Seller's business operations.

         (d) The Labor and Employee Relations Schedule sets forth the summary of
year-to-date earnings for each of Seller's Employees, including but not limited
to base wages, overtime and any incentive compensation paid for the period from
January 2, 2002 through December 31, 2002 and from January 1, 2003 through June
15, 2003. Seller shall not provide WTI with any other documents or records
relating to the Employees, other than those documents that Seller reasonably
believes should be provided to WTI pursuant to any Law. In no event shall the
provision of any records to WTI by Seller be construed as a determination that
WTI is a successor as defined by applicable Law.

         (e) The Parties hereby acknowledge that WTI shall have sole discretion
to determine the employment terms offered to the Employees selected for
employment by WTI and shall have no obligation to hire all or any particular
number of Seller's Employees. WTI shall not, except to the extent expressly
agreed to by WTI, be responsible for any of Seller's benefits liabilities.

         (f) Seller hereby represents and warrants that there have not been and
will not be any employment losses within the period 90 days prior to Closing
sufficient to trigger the terms of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, 20
C.F.R. 639.1 et seq.

(all or any of which may be waived in whole or in part by WTI in its sole
discretion):

         Section 7.1 Truth of Representations and Warranties.

         The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this
Agreement (taking into account any curative actions under Section 4.10(b) that

conditions set forth in this Section 7.1) shall (i) in the case of those
representations and warranties that are qualified by "material", "materially" or
"Material Adverse Effect" be true and correct and (ii) in the case of all other
representations and warranties, be true and correct in all material respects, in
each case on and as of the Closing Date, with the same effect as though such

         Section 7.2 Performance of Agreements.

do not have, and are not likely to cause, a Material Adverse Effect, and Seller
shall have delivered to WTI a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by
an executive officer of Seller, to such effect (which may be incorporated into
the certificate delivered in satisfaction of Section 7.10).

such applications are submitted. This condition shall not be deemed satisfied if
a Purchaser Approval that constitutes a Permit shall impose conditions regarding
the operation of the Facility that are materially more stringent than those
existing on the date of this Agreement, provided, however, that this condition
shall be deemed satisfied if materially more stringent Permit conditions relate
to the Attachment II Data, as those data are relevant to Article 27, Title 13 of

NYSDEC requiring or requesting further investigation or remediation of Hazardous
Materials in the soils or groundwater at the Facility Site.

Environmental Claims. The parties further agree that if, after the Closing Date,
a Party (the "Responsible Party") (i) takes any action or (ii) fails to take any
action that is required under Environmental Law after it has knowledge of an
environmental condition, which action or failure to take action has the effect
of increasing the amount for which the other Party (the "Impacted Party") may be
required to indemnify under this Agreement as a result of the violation of
Environmental Law by the Responsible Party prior to the Closing Date, the
Impacted Party retains all rights to contribution for the incremental costs
arising from such actions or failures to take action by the Responsible Party,
which contribution rights the Impacted Party would have, absent this Article IX,
under 42 U.S.C. ss. 9613 and similar state Environmental Laws; provided,
however, that each Party specifically waives all such contribution claims to the
extent that it has assumed responsibility for such required actions under this
Agreement, and the other Party provides such Party with timely notice of its
obligation to take such actions. For the purposes of this Section 9.2(b), the
knowledge of the employees of Seller that are hired by WTI with respect to an
environmental condition in existence prior to Closing shall not be imputed to
WTI after the Closing, unless such conditions have been disclosed herein prior
to Closing.

         (c) WTI Indemnity. Without limiting the obligations of WTI under
Section 5.1(a), WTI agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives
and agents (each, a "Seller Indemnitee" and, collectively, the "Seller
Indemnitees") from any Claims suffered, incurred or paid as a result of (i) any
breach by WTI of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;
(ii) the failure of any representation or warranty made by WTI in this Agreement
to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as
of the Closing Date; (iii) the Release of any Hazardous Materials first
initiated or occurring after the Closing and related to the business of
operation of the Facility by WTI under the Service Agreement; provided, however,
that WTI shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnitee for any Seller
Environmental Claim or Pre-Seller Environmental Claim; (iv) any WTI Assumed
Liability; provided that WTI shall not be liable for any IDA Assumed Liability
or for assumption of a Business Contract described in Section 9.2(a)(vii); (v)
any failure to have obtained the consent to assignment from a counterparty to
any Business Contract other than a Business Contract that contains an
Anti-Assignment Clause but was not identified in the Approvals Schedule as
having an Anti-Assignment Clause; (vi) any claims for indemnification by the IDA
against Seller under this Agreement that are not made through WTI on behalf of
IDA in accordance with Section 9.2(g) hereof; (vii) any claims arising from
WTI's use of the Northern Parcels after the Closing Date; or (viii) actions or
omissions of WTI or its Affiliates directly relating to the business conducted
at the Facility occurring after the Closing, except in respect of this clause
(viii), (x) to the extent arising from events or conditions for which WTI is
indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2(a), 9.2(b) or 9.2(d) and (y) Seller
Environmental Claims, Pre-Seller Environmental Claims, IDA Assumed Liabilities,
Retained Liabilities or Excluded Assets.

                                       50

         (d) Seller Tax Indemnity. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees against all Taxes of Seller and its partners
and Affiliates and any other Taxes imposed on or asserted against the Assets
(other than Transfer Taxes) until six months after the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations, including extensions, for all Pre-Closing
Periods, to the extent that such Taxes relate to periods prior to the Closing
Date. The Purchaser Indemnitees shall promptly give the Seller written notice of
all Taxes which the Purchaser Indemnitees have reasonably determined may give
rise to a right of indemnification under this Section 9.2(d), including a
computation of the amount of the claimed indemnification with sufficient detail
and particularly to enable the Seller to reasonably determine the amount of such
required indemnification.

         (e) Pre-Seller Environmental Claims. Seller and WTI acknowledge that
the IDA has indemnified Seller for certain environmental conditions existing at
the Parcel prior to the Seller's use and/or occupancy thereof pursuant to the
Reserved Construction Contract Rights and that Seller will assign such indemnity
to WTI. Neither WTI, Seller nor any Indemnified Party shall have any recourse
against a party hereto with respect to any Pre-Seller Environmental Claims.

         (f) Time Periods. The obligations to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
for the following periods:

                  (i) the obligations set forth in Section 9.2(a)(i) and (ii)
         and Section 9.2(c)(i) and (ii) shall survive for the relevant periods
         set forth in Section 9.1;

                  (ii) the obligations set forth in Section 9.2(a)(iii) shall
         survive until the earlier of (i) five years from the Closing Date or
         (ii) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with
         respect to such matters (or indefinitely, if there is no statute);
         provided, however, that such limitation shall not be applicable to any
         Releases, whether occurring on-site or off-site. The obligations set
         forth in Section 9.2(a)(iii) related to Releases shall survive until
         the expiration of the longest applicable statute of limitations with
         respect to such matters, or indefinitely, if there is no such statute;

                  (iii) the obligations set forth in Section 9.2(a)(iv) through
         (vii) inclusive shall survive until the expiration of the applicable
         statute of limitations with respect to such matters (or indefinitely if
         there is no such statute);

                  (iv) the obligations set forth in Section 9.2(c)(iii) through
         (vii) inclusive shall survive until expiration of the applicable
         statute of limitations with respect to such matters (or indefinitely if
         there is no such statute); and

                  (v) the obligations set forth in Section 9.2(d) shall survive
         until six months after the expiration of the applicable statute of
         limitations, including extensions.

                                       51
<PAGE>

                  Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing sentence, claims for
indemnification asserted prior to the end of the periods described in the
immediately foregoing sentence shall survive until final resolution thereof.

         (g) IDA Claims. As provided in the Facility Transfer Agreement, WTI
shall have the sole and exclusive right to enforce any claims for
indemnification relating to the IDA Assets against Seller under this Agreement,
and Seller shall not be liable to the IDA unless any such claim is prosecuted
through WTI. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, WTI shall be
entitled to recover under Section 9.2 for Claims suffered by the IDA as though
the IDA were a Purchaser Indemnitee even though WTI did not directly incur the
Claims suffered by the IDA and the IDA is not listed as a Purchaser Indemnitee.
The foregoing shall not be deemed an admission by the Seller that the IDA now
has or may ever have or assert any Claims against Seller under the Facility
Transfer Agreement or otherwise.

         Section 9.3 Third Party Claims.

         (a) In the event that any Claim by a third party against any Person
entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a), 9.2(c) or 9.2(d) (an
"Indemnified Party"), and in respect of which such Indemnified Party intends to
seek indemnity under this Article IX, such Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (the
"Indemnifying Party") of such Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so
notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder,
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially
prejudiced thereby.

         (b) The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of such
notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the
settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it
in connection therewith; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party
shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense
through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party and
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly assume and hold such Indemnified
Party harmless from and against the full amount of the Claim and the
Indemnifying Party shall waive in writing its right to dispute the Indemnified
Party's right to indemnification for such Claim or any subsequent Claims with
respect to such Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably
contesting any such Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or
settle any such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim, provided, however, in such
event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party
for such Claim unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such
payment or settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified
Party within 30 days after receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of a Claim
of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise such
Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to
this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the consent of the
Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or consent to entry of any judgment
that (A) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
Person or Persons asserting such Claim to all Indemnified Parties of an
unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Claim and (B)
includes a statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act
by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party; provided, however, that for settlements
with Governmental Authorities, the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed and in making such determination, the
Indemnified Party shall exercise its reasonable business judgment (without
taking into account the indemnity afforded hereby) consistent with usual and
customary settlement terms, conditions and practices for the applicable
Governmental Authority.

         Section 9.4 Remediation Activities.

         (a) Any Remediation or portion thereof for which a Purchaser Indemnitee
seeks indemnification under Section 9.2 shall be conducted so as to meet the
Commercial Reasonableness Standard.

         (b) Subject to any limitations in the Reserved Construction Contract
Rights, any Remediation shall be performed under the direction and control of
WTI unless WTI elects to direct Seller to conduct such Remediation by providing
Seller with written notice of its Remediation obligation.

         (c) If WTI intends to conduct any Remediation, it shall provide Seller
with prior written notice containing, to the extent known, a description of the
proposed Remediation, the projected costs thereof, any relevant deadlines for
commencing the Remediation imposed by Law or a Governmental Authority and the
Persons to be engaged to perform the Remediation (the "Remediation
Information"). Seller may object to the proposed Remediation to the extent (1)
the proposed Remediation exceeds the Commercial Reasonableness Standard, (2) the
costs of all or part of the proposed Remediation are unreasonably high or (3)
the contractor is not qualified to perform all or part of the work. If Seller
objects to any portion of the proposed Remediation on such grounds, it shall
notify WTI of its objections and the reasons therefor within thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt of the Remediation Information; provided, such
deadline shall be shortened to conform with any earlier deadline established by
a Governmental Authority which is disclosed in the Remediation Information.
Seller's failure to object by that date constitutes approval of the Remediation
as described in the Remediation Information. If, in the course of performing any
Remediation, any information included in the Remediation Information changes in
any material way (e.g., a material increase in projected Remediation costs or
change in contractors), WTI shall promptly supplement the Remediation
Information in writing ("Supplemental Remediation Information"), and Seller
shall have thirty (30) calendar days from its receipt of such information to
raise any objections to the information contained therein; provided, such
deadline shall be shortened to conform with any earlier deadline established by
a Governmental Authority which is disclosed in the Supplemental Remediation
Information. Any such objections shall be limited to the same grounds (1-3) as
above and also shall be limited only to the Supplemental Remediation
Information. Seller and WTI agree that any dispute arising from Seller's
objections to any Remediation Information shall be subject to the resolution
procedure set forth in Section 9.4(h). Notwithstanding Seller's objections to
the Remediation Information, WTI may conduct the Remediation as it sees fit but
shall not be entitled to recover costs to which Seller has objected unless the
matter is resolved in WTI's favor in accordance with Section 9.4(h) below. WTI
shall submit periodic invoices to Seller for Remediation work completed and
shall be reimbursed by Seller for any costs of Remediation incurred within the
overall cost budget for the Remediation within thirty (30) days after submission
of each invoice therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation substantiating
the completed work.

                                       53
<PAGE>

         (d) If WTI elects to direct Seller to perform the Remediation pursuant
to Section 9.4(b) above, Seller shall furnish WTI with the Remediation
Information within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such direction or
such shorter time as may be necessary to conform with an earlier deadline
established by a Governmental Authority. WTI may object to the Remediation
proposed by Seller if (1) the Remediation does not meet the Commercial
Reasonableness Standard or (2) the contractor is not qualified to perform the
Remediation work for which it is proposed to be hired. If WTI objects to any
portion of the proposed Remediation on such grounds, it shall notify Seller of
its objections and the reasons therefor within thirty (30) calendar days after
receipt of the notice; provided, such deadline shall be shortened to conform
with any earlier deadline established by a Governmental Authority which is
disclosed in the Remediation Information. If WTI fails to object, Seller may
proceed with the Remediation in accordance with the Remediation Information.
WTI's acceptance of the identity of the contractor(s) to perform the Remediation
shall not alter, waive or relieve Seller's obligation to have the Remediation
performed under this Section 9.4 or impose any liability on WTI. If in the
course of performing any Remediation, any information included in the
Remediation Information changes in any material way (e.g., a material increase
in projected Remediation costs or change in contractors), Seller shall promptly
supplement the Remediation Information in writing and the Purchaser shall have
thirty (30) calendar days from its receipt of such Supplemental Remediation
Information to raise any objections to the information contained therein;
provided, such deadline shall be shortened to conform with any earlier deadline
established by a Governmental Authority which is disclosed in the Supplemental
Remediation Information. Any such objections shall be limited to the same
grounds (1-2) as above and also shall be limited only to the Supplemental
Remediation Information. Any dispute shall be subject to the resolution
procedure set forth in Section 9.4(h).

         (e) If WTI conducts the Remediation, it shall (i) use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to minimize costs of the Remediation; (ii) conduct the
Remediation in accordance with the Commercial Reasonableness Standard; and (iii)
allow Seller or its agent reasonable access to the property for the sole purpose
of monitoring the Remediation, so long as Seller or its agent does not interfere
with the Remediation or WTI's operations. The parties agree that WTI may conduct
the Remediation in excess of the Commercial Reasonableness Standard, but WTI
shall not be entitled to reimbursement from Seller for any incremental costs
associated with WTI's efforts which exceed the Commercial Reasonableness
Standard.

         (f) If Seller performs the Remediation, Seller shall (i) promptly
commence and diligently pursue completion of the Remediation; (ii) indemnify WTI
from any damages, losses or claims arising out of Seller's performance of the
Remediation; and (iv) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize disruption
to WTI's business operations arising from the Remediation. Seller shall not
conduct, propose to any Governmental Authority, or retain any contractor to
conduct, any Remediation which could materially impact WTI's or the Facility's
current or future operations, without WTI's written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

                                       54
<PAGE>

         (g) A party conducting the Remediation shall (i) except in an
emergency, provide reasonable advance notice to the other party of the
Remediation prior to undertaking it; (ii) keep the other party reasonably
informed of the progress of any such Remediation and the schedule for completing
such Remediation; (iii) within 5 Business Days of receipt, submit to the other
party copies of all written communications, filings, reports, correspondence or
other writings, photographs or materials received from any person, entity or
governmental agency in connection with any such Remediation; (iv) provide the
other party with a reasonable opportunity to comment in advance upon any written
communications, filings, reports, correspondence or other writings given to any
governmental agency in connection with such Remediation and will consider timely
provided comments in good faith; (v) perform the Remediation in accordance with
applicable Environmental Law and applicable Law; and (vi) to the extent
possible, provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to participate
in any meetings with any Governmental Authority regarding the Remediation;
provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice, information or
opportunity to comment or participate shall not relieve the other Party of its
obligation hereunder, except to the extent such other Party is actually and
materially prejudiced thereby. Regardless of which party conducts the
Remediation, Seller shall be responsible for executing any manifests for the
off-site disposal of Hazardous Materials which were placed on the Parcel during
Seller's use and/or occupancy thereof and generated during the course of such
Remediation to the extent authorized by Law.

         (h) To the extent either party objects to the Remediation Information
it receives from the other party, WTI and Seller will attempt to resolve the
disputed aspects of the Remediation Information within thirty (30) Business Days
of a party's receipt of the other party's objection (or sooner if an earlier
deadline has been imposed by a Governmental Authority regarding the Remediation
at issue). Any dispute that cannot be so resolved shall be submitted for binding
resolution on a timely basis to an environmental consultant or commercial
arbitrator with demonstrated environmental remediation expertise jointly chosen
and retained by the parties, with costs split equally between WTI and Seller;
provided, however, the environmental consultant/arbitrator so chosen shall
neither (i) have previously performed services for Seller, either WTI or any of
their respective Affiliates, unless such services are disclosed to the other
party and the other party raises no objection, nor (ii) be eligible to perform
any services with respect to the Remediation at issue (other than in the context
of resolving the related dispute pursuant to this Section 9.4(h)). If either
party prevails with respect to every position which it asserts to the
environmental consultant/arbitrator in a dispute resolution procedure, it shall
be entitled to payment of all of its costs arising from the dispute resolution
by the other party, which costs shall include, but not be limited to,
consultants' and attorneys' fees and the fees of the environmental
consultant/arbitrator.

         (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to
contest whether the Remediation is subject to the indemnification provisions set
forth in Section 9.2, which dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section
11.12; provided that Seller notifies WTI of its contesting of the Remediation
and the reasons therefor within ninety (90) days after Seller's receipt or
delivery of the Remediation Information.

                                       55
<PAGE>

         Section 9.5 Exclusive Remedy.

         With the exception of any Claims based on fraud, Seller and WTI agree
that the provisions contained in this Article IX, Exhibit V and the
indemnification provisions contained in Section 5.1(a) shall, after the Closing,
be the exclusive remedy (a) for any breach of the covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; and (b) with respect
to Seller Environmental Claims. WTI and Seller expressly waive any claims
against each other and release each other from any liability they may have to
each other pursuant to Environmental Laws related to the Facility and the Assets
except for those provided under this Agreement.

         Section 9.6 Liability Limitation.

         (a) Claims Threshold. A party shall not have any obligations under
Sections 9.2(a)(i), 9.2(a)(ii), 9.2(c)(i) or 9.2(c)(ii), as the case may be, for
indemnification for any Claim arising from a breach by such party of a covenant
or agreement contained in this Agreement or representation and warranties which
covenants, agreement, representation or warranty (as the case may be) are not
qualified by the word "material," "materially" or "Material Adverse Effect"
until the aggregate amount of all such Claims exceeds $60,000, but
indemnification with respect to such party's breaches of other representations
and warranties or other covenants or agreements is not subject to such limit.

         (b) Maximum Liability For Certain Claims. With respect to any Claims
which relate to or are caused by any breach by Seller of its representations and
warranties (x) in Sections 2.6(b) and 2.7(b), Seller's aggregate obligation to
indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for such Claims pursuant to Section 9.2
shall not exceed the sum of $1,750,000 less the amount by which amounts paid by
Seller in respect of Claims subject to the cap provided for in clause (y) exceed
$2,000,000 and (y) in all other Sections of this Agreement except for
Environmental Representations, Tax Representations or Title and Partnership
Authority Representations, Seller's aggregate obligation to indemnify the
Purchaser Indemnitees for such Claims pursuant to Section 9.2 shall not exceed
the sum of $3,750,000 less the amount paid by Seller for breaches of the
representations and warranties in Section 2.6(b) and 2.7(b). With respect to any
Claims which relate to or are caused by any breach by WTI of its representations
and warranties in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6, WTI's aggregate obligation to
indemnify the Seller Indemnitees for such claims pursuant to Section 9.2 shall
not exceed the sum of $3,750,000. The limitation calculated pursuant to this
Section 9.6(b) for Seller's or WTI's indemnification obligation relating to a
specific Claim shall be calculated as of the date on which the Indemnifying
Party must make payment with respect to such Claim to a Purchaser Indemnitee or
a Seller Indemnitee, as applicable.

         (c) Unlimited Liability for Claims. With respect to any Claims (other
than those limited by Section 9.6(b) and except for the limitations set forth in
Section 9.2(e)), for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser
Indemnitees or WTI is obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees, such
indemnity is not limited.

                                       56
<PAGE>

         (d) Insurance. All indemnity obligations shall be reduced and offset by
any insurance proceeds received by any Seller Indemnitee or Purchaser Indemnitee
relating to such amount to be indemnified. Each of WTI and Seller agrees to use
its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pursue recovery for any Claims from its
insurance policies.

         (e) Applicability of Liability Limitations. Without limiting the
provisions of Section 9.6(c), the liability limitations set forth in Section
9.6(b) will not be applicable to any Claims based on fraud against a Seller
Indemnitee or a Purchaser Indemnitee, as applicable.

         (f) Claims in Excess of Limitation. In determining whether the
liability limitation set forth in Section 9.6(b) is exceeded only Claims subject
to such limit shall be taken into account.

         Section 9.7 Restoration Activities.

         (a) Any repair, replacement, modification or improvements to the
Facility for which a Purchaser is indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and
does not result from a Claim brought by a third party (a "Restoration") shall be
conducted by WTI so as to meet the requirements of applicable Law (including
Environmental Laws) and the Service Agreement and the industry standards that a
reasonable and prudent owner of a waste-to-energy facility would utilize in
making the Restoration, as if the costs of the Restoration were being borne by
such owner (the "Restoration Standard").

         (b) WTI shall provide Seller with written notice containing, to the
extent known, a description of the proposed Restoration, the projected costs
thereof, any relevant deadlines for commencing the Restoration and the Persons
to be engaged to perform the Restoration (the "Restoration Information"). Seller
may object to the proposed Restoration to the extent (1) the proposed
Restoration exceeds the Restoration Standard or (2) the costs of all or part of
the proposed Restoration are unreasonably high. If Seller objects to any portion
of the proposed Restoration on such grounds, it shall notify WTI of its
objections and the reasons therefor within fourteen (14) calendar days after
receipt of the Restoration Information. If, in the course of performing any
Restoration, any information included in the Restoration Information changes in
any material way (e.g., a material increase in projected Restoration costs), WTI
shall promptly supplement the Restoration Information in writing ("Supplemental
Restoration Information"), and Seller shall have fourteen (14) calendar days
from its receipt of such information to raise any objections to the information
contained therein. Any such objections shall be limited to the same grounds
(1-2) as above and also shall be limited only to the Supplemental Restoration
Information. Seller and WTI agree that any dispute arising from Seller's
objections to any Restoration Information shall be subject to the resolution
procedure set forth in Section 9.7(f). Notwithstanding Seller's objections to
the Restoration Information, WTI may conduct the Restoration as it sees fit but
shall not be entitled to recover costs to which Seller has objected unless the
matter is resolved in WTI's favor. WTI shall submit periodic invoices to Seller
for Restoration work completed and shall be reimbursed by Seller for any costs
of Restoration incurred within the overall cost budget for the Restoration
within thirty (30) days after submission of each invoice therefor accompanied by
reasonable documentation substantiating the completed work.

                                       57
<PAGE>

         (c) WTI shall, in all events, except as permitted below, (i) use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize costs of the Restoration; (ii)
conduct the Restoration in accordance with the Restoration Standard; and (iii)
allow Seller or its agent reasonable access to the property for the sole purpose
of monitoring the Restoration, so long as Seller or its agent does not interfere
with the Restoration or WTI's operations. The parties agree that WTI may conduct
the Restoration in excess of the Restoration Standard, but WTI shall not be
entitled to reimbursement from Seller for any incremental costs associated with
WTI's efforts which exceed the Restoration Standard.

         (d) WTI shall use reasonable efforts to (i) except in an emergency or
to the extent required to mitigate exposure to material liability resulting from
a violation of Law or the Service Agreement, provide advance notice to the
Seller of the Restoration and (ii) keep the Seller reasonably informed of the
progress of any such Restoration and the schedule for completing such
Restoration; provided, however, that the failure to so notify or inform shall
not relieve the Seller of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that
the Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

         (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to
contest whether the Restoration is subject to the indemnification provisions set
forth in Section 9.2, which dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section
11.12; provided that Seller notifies WTI of its contesting of the Restoration
and the reasons therefor within ninety (90) days after Seller's receipt or
delivery of the Restoration Information.

         (f) Any dispute under this Section 9.7 that cannot be resolved shall be
submitted for binding resolution on a timely basis to an engineer or commercial
arbitrator with demonstrated expertise jointly chosen and retained by the
parties, with costs split equally between WTI and Seller; provided, however, the
engineer/arbitrator so chosen shall neither (i) have previously performed
services for Seller, either WTI or any of their respective Affiliates, unless
such services are disclosed to the other party and the other party raises no
objection, nor (ii) be eligible to perform any services with respect to the
Restoration at issue (other than in the context of resolving the related dispute
pursuant to this Section 9.7(f)). If either party prevails with respect to every
position which it asserts to the engineer/arbitrator in a dispute resolution
procedure, it shall be entitled to payment of all of its costs arising from the
dispute resolution by the other party, which costs shall include, but not be
limited to, consultants' and attorneys' fees and the fees of the
engineer/arbitrator.

                                    ARTICLE X
                           TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT

         Section 10.1 Termination.

         This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated
hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing:

                                       58
<PAGE>

         (a) by mutual consent of both parties;

         (b) subject to Sections 1.7(b) and 7.4, by Seller or by WTI if the

10.1 by WTI, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, written notice
thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party specifying the provision
hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall be
terminated and there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of WTI or
Seller, except that the provisions of Section 11.1, Section 11.2, Section 11.4,
Section 11.5 and 11.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Nothing
in this Section 10.2 shall relieve any party of liability for breach of this
Agreement (other than a breach by Seller of Section 4.2 and other than as
provided in Section 4.10) prior to any termination or preclude any party for
seeking specific performance in lieu of terminating this Agreement; provided,
however, that neither WTI nor Seller shall be entitled to claim, and each hereby
expressly waives any right to, any consequential, punitive or other special
damages. Except for breaches of Section 4.2 by Seller described in the last
sentence of Section 4.2(a), WTI's sole remedy for a breach of Section 4.2 is to
treat such breach as the nonfulfillment of the conditions to WTI's obligations
in Section 7.2 and WTI shall not be entitled to seek any damages based upon a
breach of Section 4.2, except as otherwise provided therein.
