          1. General Description.

               a. Engagement of Independent Review Organization. Within 150 days
               after the Effective Date, PolyMedica shall engage an entity (or
               entities), such as an accounting, auditing, or consulting firm
               (hereinafter "Independent Review Organization" or "IRO"), to
               perform reviews to assist PolyMedica in assessing and evaluating
               its billing and coding practices and certain other obligations
               pursuant to this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement. The
               applicable requirements relating to the IRO are outlined in
               Appendix A to this Agreement, which is incorporated by reference.

               Each IRO engaged by PolyMedica shall have expertise in the
               billing, coding, reporting, and other requirements of Medicare
               claims for durable equipment and supplies and in the general
               requirements of the Federal health care program(s) from which
               PolyMedica seeks reimbursement. Each IRO shall assess, along with
               PolyMedica, whether it can perform the IRO review in a
               professionally independent and/or objective fashion, as
               appropriate to the nature of the engagement, taking into account
               any other business relationships or other engagements that may

               shall analyze whether Polymedica sought payment for certain
               unallowable costs (Unallowable Cost Review).

<PAGE>
               b. FREQUENCY OF CLAIMS REVIEW. The Claims Review shall be
               performed annually and shall cover each of the Reporting Periods.
               The IRO(s) shall perform all components of each annual Claims
               Review. However, after delivery of the Claims Review and Annual
               Report for the third Reporting Period, Polymedia, at its option,
               may request that the OIG permit the Claims Review be conducted
               internally and subject only to verification by the IRO for the
               remainder of the term of the CIA. The OIG retains sole discretion
               over whether to permit Claims Review to be conducted internally
               by Polymedica and subject to validation by the IRO. If the OIG
               denies Polymedica's request, Polymedica agrees to engage the IRO
               to complete the remaining Claims Reviews in accordance with the
               CIA.

               c. FREQUENCY OF UNALLOWABLE COST REVIEW. If applicable, the IRO
               shall perform the Unallowable Cost Review for the first Reporting
               Period.

               d. RETENTION OF RECORDS. The IRO and PolyMedica shall retain and
               make available to OIG, upon request, all work papers, supporting
               documentation, correspondence, and draft reports (those exchanged
               between the IRO and PolyMedica) related to the reviews.

     2. CLAIMS REVIEW. The Claims Review shall include a Discovery Sample and,
if necessary, a ull Sample. The applicable definitions, procedures, and
reporting requirements are outlined in Appendix B to this Agreement, which is
incorporated by reference.

               a. Discovery Sample. The IRO shall randomly select and review a
               sample of 50 Paid Claims submitted by or on behalf of PolyMedica
               (Discovery Sample).

               The Paid Claims shall be reviewed based on the supporting
               documentation available at PolyMedica's office or under
               PolyMedica's control and applicable billing and coding
               regulations and guidance to determine whether the claim was
               correctly coded, submitted, and reimbursed.

<PAGE>

                         i. If the Error Rate (as defined in Appendix B) for the
                         Discovery Sample is less than 5%, no additional
                         sampling is required, nor is the Systems Review
                         required. (Note: The guidelines listed above do not
                         imply that this is an acceptable error rate.
                         Accordingly, PolyMedica should, as appropriate, further
                         analyze any errors identified in the Discovery Sample.
                         PolyMedica recognizes that OIG or other HHS component,
                         in its discretion and as authorized by statute,
                         regulation, or other appropriate authority may also
                         analyze or review Paid Claims included, or errors
                         identified, in the Discovery Sample or any other
                         segment of the universe.)

                         ii. If the Discovery Sample indicates that the Error
                         Rate is 5% or greater, the IRO shall perform a Full
                         Sample and a Systems Review, as described below.

                    b. Full Sample. If necessary, as determined by procedures
                    set forth in Section III.D.2.a, the IRO shall perform an
                    additional sample of Paid Claims using commonly accepted
                    sampling methods and in accordance with Appendix B. The Full
                    Sample shall be designed to: (i) estimate the actual
                    Overpayment in the population with a 90% confidence level
                    and with a maximum relative precision of 25% of the point
                    estimate; and (ii) conform with the Centers for Medicare and
                    Medicaid Services' statistical sampling for overpayment
                    estimation guidelines. The Paid Claims shall be reviewed
                    based on supporting documentation available at PolyMedica's
                    office or under PolyMedica's control and applicable billing
                    and coding regulations and guidance to determine whether the
                    claim was correctly coded, submitted, and reimbursed. For
                    purposes of calculating the size of the Full Sample, the
                    Discovery Sample may serve as the probe sample, if
                    statistically appropriate. Additionally, PolyMedica may use
                    the Items sampled as part of the Discovery Sample, and the
                    corresponding findings for those 50 Items, as part of its
                    Full Sample, if: (i) statistically appropriate and (ii)
                    PolyMedica selects the Full Sample Items using the seed
                    number generated by the Discovery Sample. OIG, in its sole
                    discretion, may refer

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       10

<PAGE>
                    the findings of the Full Sample (and any related workpapers)
                    received from PolyMedica to the appropriate Federal health
                    care program payor, including the Medicare contractor (e.g.,
                    carrier, fiscal intermediary, or DMERC), for appropriate
                    follow-up by that payor.

                    c. SYSTEMS REVIEW. If PolyMedica's Discovery Sample
                    identifies an Error Rate of 5% or greater, PolyMedica's IRO
                    shall also conduct a Systems Review. Specifically, for each
                    claim in the Discovery Sample and Full Sample that resulted
                    in an Overpayment, the IRO shall perform a "walk through" of
                    the system(s) and process(es), that generated the claim to
                    identify any problems or weaknesses that may have resulted
                    in the identified Overpayments. The IRO shall provide its
                    observations and recommendations on suggested improvements
                    to the system(s) and the process(es) that generated the
                    claim.

                    d. REPAYMENT OF IDENTIFIED OVERPAYMENTS. In accordance with
                    Section III.I.1 of this Agreement, PolyMedica shall repay
                    within 30 days any Overpayment(s) identified in the
                    Discovery Sample or the Full Sample (if applicable),
                    regardless of the Error Rate, to the appropriate payor and
                    in accordance with payor refund policies. PolyMedica shall
                    make available to OIG any and all documentation and the
                    associated documentation that reflects the refund of the
                    Overpayment(s) to the payor.

     3. CLAIMS REVIEW REPORT. The IRO shall prepare a report based upon the
Claims Review performed (Claims Review Report). Information to be included in
the Claims Review Report is described in Appendix B.

     4. UNALLOWABLE COST REVIEW. If applicable, the IRO shall conduct a review
of Polymedica's compliance with the unallowable cost provisions of the
Settlement Agreement. The IRO shall determine whether Polymedica has complied
with its obligations not to charge to, or otherwise seek payment from, Federal
or State payors for unallowable costs (as defined in the Settlement Agreement)
and its obligation to identify to applicable Federal or State payors any
unallowable costs included in payments previously sought from the United States,
or any State Medicaid program. This unallowable cost analysis shall include, but
not be limited to, payments sought in any cost reports, cost statements,
information reports, or

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       11

<PAGE>

payment requests already submitted by Polymedica or any affiliates. To the
extent that such cost reports, cost statements, information reports, or payment
requests, even if already settled, have been adjusted to account for the effect
of the inclusion of the unallowable costs, the IRO shall determine if such
adjustments were proper. In making this determination, the IRO may need to
review cost reports and/or financial statements from the year in which the
Settlement Agreement was executed, as well as from previous years.

     5. UNALLOWABLE COST REVIEW REPORT. If applicable, the IRO shall prepare a
report based upon the Unallowable Cost Review performed. The Unallowable Cost
Review Report shall include the IRO's findings and supporting rationale
regarding the Unallowable Costs Review and whether Polymedica has complied with
its obligation not to charge to, or otherwise seek payment from, Federal or
State payors for unallowable costs (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) and
its obligation to identify to applicable Federal or State payors any unallowable
costs included in payments previously sought from such payor.

     6. VALIDATION REVIEW. In the event OIG has reason to believe that: (a)
PolyMedica's Claims Review fails to conform to the requirements of this
Agreement; or (b) the IRO's findings or Claims Review results or Unallowable
Cost Review are inaccurate, OIG may, at its sole discretion, conduct its own
review to determine whether the Claims Review or Unallowable Cost Review
complied with the requirements of the Agreement and/or the findings or Claims
Review results or Unallowable Cost Review results are inaccurate (Validation
Review). PolyMedica shall pay for the reasonable cost of any such review
performed by OIG or any of its designated agents. Any Validation Review of
Reports submitted as part of PolyMedica's final Annual Report must be initiated
no later than one year after PolyMedica's final submission (as described in
Section II) is received by OIG.

     Prior to initiating a Validation Review, OIG shall notify PolyMedica of its
intent to do so and provide a written explanation of why OIG believes such a
review is necessary. To resolve any concerns raised by OIG, PolyMedica may
request a meeting with OIG to: (a) discuss the results of any Claims Review or
Unallowable Cost Review submissions or findings; (b) present any additional
information to clarify the results of the Claims Review or Unallowable Cost
Review or to correct the inaccuracy of the Claims Review or Unallowable Cost
Review; and/or (c) propose alternatives to the proposed Validation Review.
PolyMedica agrees to provide any additional information as may be requested by
OIG under this Section in an expedited manner. OIG will attempt in good faith to
resolve any

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       12

<PAGE>

Claims Review or Unallowable Cost Review issues with PolyMedica prior to
conducting a Validation Review. However, the final determination as to whether
or not to proceed with a Validation Review shall be made at the sole discretion
of OIG.

     7. INDEPENDENCE/OBJECTIVITY CERTIFICATION. The IRO shall include in its
report(s) to Polymedica a certification or sworn affidavit that it has evaluated
its professional independence and/or objectivity, as appropriate to the nature
of the engagement, with regard to the Claims Review or Unallowable Cost Review
and that it has concluded that it is, in fact, independent and/or objective.

     E. DISCLOSURE PROGRAM.

     PolyMedica presently has a Disclosure Program. PolyMedica shall maintain a
Disclosure Program during the term of the CIA. To the extent not already
accomplished, within 120 days after the Effective Date, PolyMedica shall
establish a Disclosure Program that includes a mechanism (e.g., a toll-free
compliance telephone line) to enable individuals to disclose, to the Compliance
Officer or some other person who is not in the disclosing individual's chain of
command, any identified issues or questions associated with PolyMedica's
policies, conduct, practices, or procedures with respect to a Federal health
care program believed by the individual to be a potential violation of criminal,
civil, or administrative law. PolyMedica shall appropriately publicize the
existence of the disclosure mechanism (e.g., via periodic e-mails to employees
or by posting the information in prominent common areas).

     The Disclosure Program shall emphasize a nonretribution, nonretaliation
policy, and shall include a reporting mechanism for anonymous communications for
which appropriate confidentiality shall be maintained. Upon receipt of a
disclosure, the Compliance Officer (or designee) shall gather all relevant
information from the disclosing individual. The Compliance Officer (or designee)
shall make a preliminary, good faith inquiry into the allegations set forth in
every disclosure to ensure that he or she has obtained all of the information
necessary to determine whether a further review should be conducted. For any
disclosure that is sufficiently specific so that it reasonably: (1) permits a
determination of the appropriateness of the alleged improper practice; and (2)
provides an opportunity for taking corrective action, PolyMedica shall conduct
an internal review of the allegations set forth in the disclosure and ensure
that proper follow-up is conducted.

     The Compliance Officer (or designee) shall maintain a disclosure log, which
shall include a record and summary of each disclosure received (whether

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       13

<PAGE>

anonymous or not), the status of the respective internal reviews, and any
corrective action taken in response to the internal reviews. The disclosure log
shall be made available to OIG upon request.

     F. INELIGIBLE PERSONS.

          1. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this CIA:

               a. an "Ineligible Person" shall include an individual or entity
               who:

                    i. is currently excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise
                    ineligible to participate in the Federal health care
                    programs or in Federal procurement or nonprocurement
                    programs; or

                    ii. has been convicted of a criminal offense that falls
                    within the ambit of 42 U.S.C.ss.1320a-7(a), but has not yet
                    been excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise declared
                    ineligible.

               b. "Exclusion Lists" include:

                    i. the HHS/OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities
                    (available through the Internet at http://oig.hhs.gov); and

                    ii. the General Services Administration's List of Parties
                    Excluded from Federal Programs (available through the
                    Internet at http://epls.arnet.gov).

               7.   "Screened Persons" include prospective and current owners
                    (other than shareholders who: (1) have an ownership interest
                    of less than 5%; and (2) acquired the ownership interest
                    through public trading), officers, directors, employees,
                    contractors, and agents of PolyMedica.

          2. SCREENING REQUIREMENTS. PolyMedica shall ensure that all Screened
     Persons are not Ineligible Persons, by implementing the following screening
     requirements.

               1.   PolyMedica shall screen all Screened Persons against the
                    Exclusion Lists prior to engaging their services and, as
                    part of the hiring or

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       14

<PAGE>

                    contracting process, shall require such persons to disclose
                    whether they are an Ineligible Person.

               2.   PolyMedica shall screen all Screened Persons against the
                    Exclusion Lists within 90 days after the Effective Date and
                    on an annual basis thereafter.

               3.   PolyMedica shall implement a policy requiring all Screened
                    Persons to disclose immediately any debarment, exclusion,
                    suspension, or other event that makes that person an
                    Ineligible Person.

     Nothing in this Section affects the responsibility of (or liability for)
PolyMedica to refrain from billing Federal health care programs for items or
services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by an Ineligible Person.

     3. REMOVAL REQUIREMENT. If PolyMedica has actual notice that a Screened
Person has become an Ineligible Person, PolyMedica shall remove such person from
responsibility for, or involvement with, PolyMedica's business operations
related to the Federal health care programs and shall remove such person from
any position for which the person's compensation or the items or services
furnished, ordered, or prescribed by the person are paid in whole or part,
directly or indirectly, by Federal health care programs or otherwise with
Federal funds at least until such time as the person is reinstated into
participation in the Federal health care programs.

     4. PENDING CHARGES AND PROPOSED EXCLUSIONS. If PolyMedica has actual notice
that a Screened Person is charged with a criminal offense that falls within the
ambit of 42 U.S.C. ss.ss. 1320a-7(a), 1320a-7(b)(1)-(3), or is proposed for
exclusion during his or her employment or contract term, PolyMedica shall take
all appropriate actions to ensure that the responsibilities of that person have
not and shall not adversely affect the quality of care rendered to any
beneficiary, patient, or resident, or the accuracy of any claims submitted to
any Federal health care program.

     G. NOTIFICATION OF GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION OR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     Within 30 days after discovery, Polymedica shall notify OIG, in writing, of
any ongoing investigation or legal proceeding known to PolyMedica conducted or
brought by a governmental entity or its agents involving an allegation that
PolyMedica has committed a crime or has engaged in fraudulent activities. This
notification shall include a description of the allegation, the identity of the
investigating or prosecuting agency, and the status of such investigation or
legal proceeding. PolyMedica shall also provide written notice to OIG within 30
days after the resolution of the matter, and shall provide OIG with a
description of the findings and/or results of the investigation or proceedings,
if any.

     H. REPORTING.

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

     1. OVERPAYMENTS.

          4. DEFINITION OF OVERPAYMENTS. For purposes of this CIA, an
          "Overpayment" shall mean the amount of money PolyMedica has received
          in excess of the amount due and payable under any Federal health care
          program requirements.

          5. REPORTING OF OVERPAYMENTS. If, at any time, PolyMedica identifies
          or learns of any Overpayment, PolyMedica shall notify the payor (e.g.,
          Medicare fiscal intermediary or carrier) within 30 days after
          identification of the Overpayment and take remedial steps within 60
          days after identification (or such additional time as may be agreed to
          by the payor) to correct the problem, including preventing the
          underlying problem and the Overpayment from recurring. Also, within 30
          days after identification of the Overpayment, PolyMedica shall repay
          the Overpayment to the appropriate payor to the extent such
          Overpayment has been quantified. If not yet quantified, within 30 days
          after identification, PolyMedica shall notify the payor of its efforts
          to quantify the Overpayment amount along with a schedule of when such
          work is expected to be completed. Notification and repayment to the
          payor shall be done in accordance with the payor's policies, and, for
          Medicare contractors, shall include the information contained on the
          Overpayment Refund Form, provided as Appendix C to this CIA.
          Notwithstanding the above, notification and repayment of any
          Overpayment amount that routinely is reconciled or adjusted pursuant
          to policies and procedures established by the payor should be handled
          in accordance with such policies and procedures.

     2. REPORTABLE EVENTS.

          8. DEFINITION OF REPORTABLE EVENT. For purposes of this CIA, a
          "Reportable Event" means anything that involves:

               i. a substantial Overpayment; or

               ii. a matter that a reasonable person would consider a probable

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       16

<PAGE>

               violation of criminal, civil, or administrative laws applicable
               to any Federal health care program for which penalties or
               exclusion may be authorized.

          A Reportable Event may be the result of an isolated event or a series
          of occurrences.

     6.   Reporting of Reportable Events. If PolyMedica determines (after a
          reasonable opportunity to conduct an appropriate review or
          investigation of the allegations) through any means that there is a
          Reportable Event, PolyMedica shall notify OIG, in writing, within 30
          days after making the determination that the Reportable Event exists.
          The report to OIG shall include the following information:

               i. If the Reportable Event results in an Overpayment, the report
               to OIG shall be made at the same time as the notification to the
               payor required in Section III.H.1, and shall include all of the
               information on the Overpayment Refund Form, as well as:

                    (A) the payor's name, address, and contact person to whom
                    the Overpayment was sent; and

                    (B) the date of the check and identification number (or
                    electronic transaction number) by which the Overpayment was
                    repaid/refunded;

               ii. a complete description of the Reportable Event, including the
               relevant facts, persons involved, and legal and Federal health
               care program authorities implicated;

               iii. a description of PolyMedica's actions taken to correct the
               Reportable Event; and

               iv. any further steps PolyMedica plans to take to address the
               Reportable Event and prevent it from recurring.

IV.      NEW BUSINESS UNITS OR LOCATIONS

         In the event that, after the Effective Date, PolyMedica changes
locations or sells, closes, purchases, or establishes a new business unit or
location related to the furnishing of items or services that may be reimbursed
by Federal health care programs, PolyMedica shall notify OIG of this fact as
soon as possible, but no later

contract, OIG or its duly authorized representative(s) may examine or request
copies of PolyMedica's books, records, and other documents and supporting
materials and/or conduct on-site reviews of any of PolyMedica's locations for
the purpose of verifying and evaluating: (a) PolyMedica's compliance with the

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       23

<PAGE>

Nothing in this Section VII shall require a waiver by Polymedica
or Polymedica's attorney-client, attorney work-product, or other applicable
privileges. Notwithstanding that fact, the existence of any such privilege shall
not be used by Polymedica to avoid its obligation to comply with the provisions
of this Section VII.

     Furthermore, for purposes of this provision, OIG or its duly authorized
representative(s) may interview any of PolyMedica's employees, contractors, or
agents who consent to be interviewed at the individual's place of business
during normal business hours or at such other place and time as may be mutually
agreed upon between the individual and OIG. PolyMedica shall assist OIG or its
duly authorized representative(s) in contacting and arranging interviews with
such individuals upon OIG's request. PolyMedica's employees may elect to be
interviewed with or without a representative of Polymedica present.

VIII. DOCUMENT AND RECORD RETENTION

     PolyMedica shall maintain for inspection all documents and records relating
to reimbursement from the Federal health care programs, or to compliance with
this CIA, for 6 years (or longer if otherwise required by law).

IX. DISCLOSURES

     Consistent with HHS's FOIA procedures, set forth in 45 C.F.R. Part 5, OIG
shall make a reasonable effort to notify PolyMedica prior to any release by OIG
of information submitted by PolyMedica pursuant to its obligations under this
CIA and identified upon submission by PolyMedica as trade secrets, or
information that is commercial or financial and privileged or confidential,
under the FOIA rules. With respect to such releases, PolyMedica shall have the
rights set forth at 45 C.F.R. ss. 5.65(d).

X. BREACH AND DEFAULT PROVISIONS

     PolyMedica is expected to fully and timely comply with all of its CIA
obligations.

     A. STIPULATED PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS. As
a contractual remedy, PolyMedica and OIG hereby agree that failure to comply
with certain obligations as set forth in this CIA may lead to the imposition of
the following monetary penalties (hereinafter referred to as "Stipulated
Penalties") in accordance with the following provisions.

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       24

<PAGE>
     1. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day
after the date the obligation became due) for each day PolyMedica fails to
establish and implement any of the following obligations as described in
Section III:

                    a. a Compliance Officer;

                    b. a Compliance Committee;

                    c. a written Code of Conduct;

                    d. written Policies and Procedures;

                    e. the training of Covered Persons;

                    f. a Disclosure Program;

                    g. Ineligible Persons screening and removal requirements;
                    and

                    h. Notification of Government investigations or legal
                    proceedings.

     2. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day
after the date the obligation became due) for each day PolyMedica fails to
engage an IRO, as required in Section III.D and Appendix A.

     3. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day
after the date the obligation became due) for each day PolyMedica fails to
submit the Implementation Report or the Annual Reports to OIG in accordance with
the requirements of Section V by the deadlines for submission.

     4. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day
after the date the obligation became due) for each day PolyMedica fails to
submit the annual Claims Review Report and Unallowable Costs Review Report in
accordance with the requirements of Section III.D and Appendix B.

     5. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,500 for each day PolyMedica fails to grant
access to the information or documentation as required in Section VII. (This
Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue on the date PolyMedica fails to grant

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       25
<PAGE>

access.)

     6. A Stipulated Penalty of $5,000 for each false certification submitted by
or on behalf of PolyMedica as part of its Implementation Report, Annual Report,
additional documentation to a report (as requested by the OIG), or otherwise
required by this CIA.

     7. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,000 for each day PolyMedica fails to comply
fully and adequately with any obligation of this CIA. OIG shall provide notice
to PolyMedica, stating the specific grounds for its determination that
PolyMedica has failed to comply fully and adequately with the CIA obligation(s)
at issue and steps PolyMedica shall take to comply with the CIA. (This
Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue 10 days after PolyMedica receives this
notice from OIG of the failure to comply.) A Stipulated Penalty as described in
this Subsection shall not be demanded for any violation for which OIG has sought
a Stipulated Penalty under Subsections 1-6 of this Section.

     B. TIMELY WRITTEN REQUESTS FOR EXTENSIONS. PolyMedica may, in advance of
the due date, submit a timely written request for an extension of time to
perform any act or file any notification or report required by this CIA.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, if OIG grants the timely
written request with respect to an act, notification, or report, Stipulated
Penalties for failure to perform the act or file the notification or report
shall not begin to accrue until one day after PolyMedica fails to meet the
revised deadline set by OIG. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Section, if OIG denies such a timely written request, Stipulated Penalties for
failure to perform the act or file the notification or report shall not begin to
accrue until three business days after PolyMedica receives OIG's written denial
of such request or the original due date, whichever is later. A "timely written
request" is defined as a request in writing received by OIG at least five
business days prior to the date by which any act is due to be performed or any
notification or report is due to be filed.

     C. PAYMENT OF STIPULATED PENALTIES.

     1. DEMAND LETTER. Upon a finding that PolyMedica has failed to comply with
any of the obligations described in Section X.A and after determining that
Stipulated Penalties are appropriate, OIG shall notify PolyMedica of: (a)

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       26

<PAGE>

PolyMedica's failure to comply; and (b) OIG's exercise of its contractual right
to demand payment of the Stipulated Penalties (this notification is referred to
as the "Demand Letter").

     2. RESPONSE TO DEMAND LETTER. Within 10 days after the receipt of the
Demand Letter, PolyMedica shall either: (a) cure the breach to OIG's
satisfaction and pay the applicable Stipulated Penalties; or (b) request a
hearing before an HHS administrative law judge (ALJ) to dispute OIG's
determination of noncompliance, pursuant to the agreed upon provisions set forth
below in Section X.E. In the event PolyMedica elects to request an ALJ hearing,
the Stipulated Penalties shall continue to accrue until PolyMedica cures, to
OIG's satisfaction, the alleged breach in dispute. Failure to respond to the
Demand Letter in one of these two manners within the allowed time period shall
be considered a material breach of this CIA and shall be grounds for exclusion
under Section X.D.

     3. FORM OF PAYMENT. Payment of the Stipulated Penalties shall be made by
certified or cashier's check, payable to: "Secretary of the Department of Health
and Human Services," and submitted to OIG at the address set forth in Section
VI.

     4. INDEPENDENCE FROM MATERIAL BREACH DETERMINATION. Except as set forth in
Section X.D.1.c, these provisions for payment of Stipulated Penalties shall not
affect or otherwise set a standard for OIG's decision that PolyMedica has
materially breached this CIA, which decision shall be made at OIG's discretion
and shall be governed by the provisions in Section X.D, below.

         D.  EXCLUSION FOR MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS CIA.

               1. Definition of Material Breach. A material breach of this CIA
          means:
                    a. a failure by PolyMedica to report a Reportable Event,
                    take corrective action, and make the appropriate refunds, as
                    required in Section III.H;

                    b. a repeated or flagrant violation of the obligations under
                    this CIA, including, but not limited to, the obligations
                    addressed in Section X.A;

                    c. a failure to respond to a Demand Letter concerning the
                    payment of Stipulated Penalties in accordance with Section
                    X.C;

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       27

<PAGE>

                    or

                    d. a failure to engage and use an IRO in accordance with
                    Section III.D.

     2. NOTICE OF MATERIAL BREACH AND INTENT TO EXCLUDE. The parties agree that
a material breach of this CIA by PolyMedica constitutes an independent basis for
PolyMedica's exclusion from participation in the Federal health care programs.
Upon a determination by OIG that PolyMedica has materially breached this CIA and
that exclusion is the appropriate remedy, OIG shall notify PolyMedica of: (a)
PolyMedica's material breach; and (b) OIG's intent to exercise its contractual
right to impose exclusion (this notification is hereinafter referred to as the
"Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude").

     3. OPPORTUNITY TO CURE. PolyMedica shall have 30 days from the date of
receipt of the Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude to demonstrate to
OIG's satisfaction that:

                    a. PolyMedica is in compliance with the obligations of the
                    CIA cited by OIG as being the basis for the material breach;

                    b. the alleged material breach has been cured; or

                    c. the alleged material breach cannot be cured within the
                    30-day period, but that: (i) PolyMedica has begun to take
                    action to cure the material breach; (ii) PolyMedica is
                    pursuing such action with due diligence; and (iii)
                    PolyMedica has provided to OIG a reasonable timetable for
                    curing the material breach.

     4. EXCLUSION LETTER. If, at the conclusion of the 30-day period, PolyMedica
fails to satisfy the requirements of Section X.D.3, OIG may exclude PolyMedica
from participation in the Federal health care programs. OIG shall notify
PolyMedica in writing of its determination to exclude PolyMedica (this letter
shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Exclusion Letter"). Subject to the
Dispute Resolution provisions in Section X.E, below, the exclusion shall go into
effect 30 days after the date of PolyMedica's receipt of the Exclusion Letter.
The exclusion shall have national effect and shall also apply to all other
Federal procurement and nonprocurement programs. Reinstatement to program
participation is not automatic. After the end of the period of exclusion,
PolyMedica may apply for

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       28

<PAGE>

reinstatement by submitting a written request for reinstatement in accordance
with the provisions at 42 C.F.R. ss.ss. 1001.3001-.3004.

E. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     1. REVIEW RIGHTS. Upon OIG's delivery to PolyMedica of its Demand Letter or
of its Exclusion Letter, and as an agreed-upon contractual remedy for the
resolution of disputes arising under this CIA, PolyMedica shall be afforded
certain review rights comparable to the ones that are provided in 42 U.S.C. ss.
1320a-7(f) and 42 C.F.R. Part 1005 as if they applied to the Stipulated
Penalties or exclusion sought pursuant to this CIA. Specifically, OIG's
determination to demand payment of Stipulated Penalties or to seek exclusion
shall be subject to review by an HHS ALJ and, in the event of an appeal, the HHS
Departmental Appeals Board (DAB), in a manner consistent with the provisions in
42 C.F.R. ss. 1005.2-1005.21. Notwithstanding the language in 42 C.F.R. ss.
1005.2(c), the request for a hearing involving Stipulated Penalties shall be
made within 10 days after receipt of the Demand Letter and the request for a
hearing involving exclusion shall be made within 25 days after receipt of the
Exclusion Letter.

     2. STIPULATED PENALTIES REVIEW. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42
of the United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the
only issues in a proceeding for Stipulated Penalties under this CIA shall be:
(a) whether PolyMedica was in full and timely compliance with the obligations of
this CIA for which OIG demands payment; and (b) the period of noncompliance.
PolyMedica shall have the burden of proving its full and timely compliance and
the steps taken to cure the noncompliance, if any. OIG shall not have the right
to appeal to the DAB an adverse ALJ decision related to Stipulated Penalties. If
the ALJ agrees with OIG with regard to a finding of a breach of this CIA and
orders PolyMedica to pay Stipulated Penalties, such Stipulated Penalties shall
become due and payable 20 days after the ALJ issues such a decision unless
PolyMedica requests review of the ALJ decision by the DAB. If the ALJ decision
is properly appealed to the DAB and the DAB upholds the determination of OIG,
the Stipulated Penalties shall become due and payable 20 days after the DAB
issues its decision.

     3. EXCLUSION REVIEW. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42 of the
United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the only
issues in a proceeding for exclusion based on a material breach of this CIA
shall be:

          9. whether PolyMedica was in material breach of this CIA;

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       29

<PAGE>

          10. whether such breach was continuing on the date of the Exclusion
          Letter; and

          11. whether the alleged material breach could not have been cured
          within the 30-day period, but that: (i) PolyMedica had begun to take
          action to cure the material breach within that period; (ii) PolyMedica
          has pursued and is pursuing such action with due diligence; and (iii)
          PolyMedica provided to OIG within that period a reasonable timetable
          for curing the material breach and PolyMedica has followed the
          timetable.

     For purposes of the exclusion herein, exclusion shall take effect only
after an ALJ decision favorable to OIG, or, if the ALJ rules for PolyMedica,
only after a DAB decision in favor of OIG. PolyMedica's election of its
contractual right to appeal to the DAB shall not abrogate OIG's authority to
exclude PolyMedica upon the issuance of an ALJ's decision in favor of OIG. If
the ALJ sustains the determination of OIG and determines that exclusion is
authorized, such exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the ALJ issues such a
decision, notwithstanding that PolyMedica may request review of the ALJ decision
by the DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of OIG after an ALJ decision adverse to
OIG, the exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the DAB decision. PolyMedica
shall waive its right to any notice of such an exclusion if a decision upholding
the exclusion is rendered by the ALJ or DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of
PolyMedica, PolyMedica shall be reinstated effective on the date of the original
exclusion.

     4. FINALITY OF DECISION. The review by an ALJ or DAB provided for above
shall not be considered to be an appeal right arising under any statutes or
regulations. Consequently, the parties to this CIA agree that the DAB's decision
(or the ALJ's decision if not appealed) shall be considered final for all
purposes under this CIA.

XI. EFFECTIVE AND BINDING AGREEMENT

     Consistent with the provisions in the Settlement Agreement pursuant to
which this CIA is entered, and into which this CIA is incorporated, PolyMedica
and OIG agree as follows:

     A. This CIA shall be binding on the successors, assigns, and transferees of
PolyMedica to the extent of the businesses and operations of PolyMedica that
exist at the time of any transfer;

POLYMEDICA CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENT

                                       30

<PAGE>

     B. This CIA shall become final and binding on the date the final signature
is obtained on the CIA;

     C. Any modifications to this CIA shall be made with the prior written
consent of the parties to this CIA;

     D. OIG may agree to a suspension of PolyMedica's obligations under the CIA
in the event of PolyMedica's cessation of participation in Federal health care
programs. If PolyMedica withdraws from participation in Federal health care
programs and is relieved of its CIA obligations by OIG, PolyMedica shall notify
OIG at least 30 days in advance of PolyMedica's intent to reapply as a
participating provider or supplier with any Federal health care program. Upon
receipt of such notification, OIG shall evaluate whether the CIA should be
reactivated or modified.

     E. The undersigned PolyMedica signatories represent and warrant that they
are authorized to execute this CIA. The undersigned OIG signatory represents
that he is signing this CIA in his official capacity and that he is authorized
to execute this CIA.

                                   APPENDIX A
                         INDEPENDENT REVIEW ORGANIZATION

This Appendix contains the requirements relating to the Independent Review
Organization (IRO) required by Section III.D of the CIA.

A. IRO ENGAGEMENT.

     Polymedica shall engage an IRO that possesses the qualifications set forth
in Paragraph B, below, to perform the responsibilities in Paragraph C, below.
The IRO shall conduct the review in a professionally independent and/or
objective fashion, as set forth in Paragraph D. Within 30 days after OIG
receives written notice of the identity of the selected IRO, OIG will notify
Polymedica if the IRO is unacceptable. Absent notification from OIG that the IRO
is unacceptable, Polymedica may continue to engage the IRO.

     If Polymedica engages a new IRO during the term of the CIA, this IRO shall
also meet the requirements of this Appendix. If a new IRO is engaged, Polymedica
shall submit the information identified in Section V.A.8 to OIG within 30 days
of engagement of the IRO. Within 30 days after OIG receives written notice of
the identity of the selected IRO, OIG will notify Polymedica if the IRO is
unacceptable. Absent notification from OIG that the IRO is unacceptable,
Polymedica may continue to engage the IRO.

B. IRO QUALIFICATIONS.

The IRO shall:

     1. assign individuals to conduct the Claims Review and Unallowable Cost
Review, if applicable engagement who have expertise in the billing, coding,
reporting, and Medicare claims for durable equipment and supplies and in the
general requirements of the Federal health care program(s) from which Polymedica
seeks reimbursement;

     2. assign individuals to design and select the Claims Review sample who are
knowledgeable about the appropriate statistical sampling techniques;

     3. assign individuals to conduct the coding review portions of the Claims
Review who have a nationally recognized coding certification (e.g., CCA, CCS,
CCS-P, CPC, RRA, etc.) and who have maintained this certification (e.g.,
completed applicable continuing education requirements); and

     4. have sufficient staff and resources to conduct the reviews required by
the CIA on a timely basis.

                                       1

<PAGE>

C. IRO RESPONSIBILITIES.

The IRO shall:

     1. perform each Claim Review in accordance with the specific requirements
of the CIA;

     2. follow all applicable Medicare, Medicaid or other Federal health care
program rules and reimbursement guidelines in making assessments in the Claims
Review;

     3. if in doubt of the application of a particular Medicare, Medicaid or
other Federal health care program policy or regulation, request clarification
from the appropriate authority (e.g., fiscal intermediary or ---- carrier);

     4. respond to all OIG inquires in a prompt, objective, and factual manner;
and

     5. prepare timely, clear, well-written reports that include all the
information required by Appendix B.

D. IRO INDEPENDENCE/OBJECTIVITY.

The IRO must perform the Claims Review in a professionally independent and/or
objective fashion, as appropriate to the nature of the engagement, taking into
account any other business relationships or engagements that may exist between
the IRO and Polymedica.

E. IRO REMOVAL/TERMINATION.

     1. PROVIDER. If Polymedica terminates its IRO during the course of the
engagement, Polymedica must submit a notice explaining its reasons to OIG no
later than 30 days after termination. Polymedica must engage a new IRO in
accordance with Paragraph A of this Appendix.

     2. OIG REMOVAL OF IRO. In the event OIG has reason to believe that the IRO
does not possess the qualifications described in Paragraph B, is not independent
and/or objective as set forth in Paragraph D, or has failed to carry out its
responsibilities as described in Paragraph C, OIG may, at its sole discretion,
require Polymedica to engage a new IRO in accordance with Paragraph A of this
Appendix.

         Prior to requiring Polymedica to engage a new IRO, OIG shall notify
Polymedica of its intent to do so and provide a written explanation of why OIG
believes such a step is necessary. To resolve any concerns raised by OIG,
Polymedica may request a meeting

                                       2

<PAGE>

with OIG to discuss any aspect of the IRO's qualifications, independence or
performance of its responsibilities and to present additional information
regarding these matters. Polymedica shall provide any additional information as
may be requested by OIG under this Paragraph in an expedited manner. OIG will
attempt in good faith to resolve any differences regarding the IRO with
Polymedica prior to requiring Polymedica to terminate the IRO. However, the
final determination as to whether or not to require Polymedica to engage a new
IRO shall be made at the sole discretion of OIG.

                                   APPENDIX B
                                  CLAIMS REVIEW

A. CLAIMS REVIEW.

     1. DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of the Claims Review, the following
definitions shall be used:

     a. OVERPAYMENT: The amount of money Polymedica has received in excess of
     the amount due and payable under any Federal health care program
     requirements.

     b. ITEM: Any discrete unit that can be sampled (e.g., code, line item,
     beneficiary, patient encounter, etc.).

     c. PAID CLAIM: A code or line item submitted by Polymedica and for which
     Polymedica has received reimbursement from the Medicare program

     d. POPULATION: For the first Reporting Period, the Population shall be
     defined as all Items for which a code or line item has been submitted by or
     on behalf of Polymedica and for which Polymedica has received reimbursement
     from Medicare, Medicaid or other Federal health care programs (i.e., Paid
     Claim) during the 12-month period covered by the first Claims Review.

     For the remaining Reporting Periods, the Population shall be defined as all
     Items for which Polymedica has received reimbursement from Medicare
     Medicaid or other Federal health care programs (i.e., Paid Claim) during
     the 12-month period covered by the Claims Review.

     To be included in the Population, an Item must have resulted in at least
     one Paid Claim.

     e. ERROR RATE: The Error Rate shall be the percentage of net Overpayments
     identified in the sample. The net Overpayments shall be calculated by
     subtracting all underpayments identified in the sample from all gross
     Overpayments identified in the sample. (Note: Any potential cost
     settlements or other supplemental payments should not be included in the
     net Overpayment calculation. Rather, only underpayments identified as

APPENDIX B:
PAGE 1

<PAGE>

          part of the Discovery Sample shall be included as part of the net
          Overpayment calculation.)

          The Error Rate is calculated by dividing the net Overpayment
          identified in the sample by the total dollar amount associated with
          the Items in the sample.

     2. OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

          a. PAID CLAIMS WITHOUT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. For the purpose of
          appraising Items included in the Claims Review, any Paid Claim for
          which Polymedica cannot produce documentation sufficient to support
          the Paid Claim shall be considered an error and the total
          reimbursement received by Polymedica for such Paid Claim shall be
          deemed an Overpayment. Replacement sampling for Paid Claims with
          missing documentation is not permitted.

          2. REPLACEMENT SAMPLING. Considering the Population shall consist only
             of Paid Claims and that Items with missing documentation cannot be
             replaced, there is no need to utilize alternate or replacement
             sampling units.

          c. USE OF FIRST SAMPLES DRAWN. For the purposes of all samples
          (Discovery Sample(s) and Full Sample(s)) discussed in this Appendix,
          the Paid Claims associated with the Items selected in each first
          sample (or first sample for each strata, if applicable) shall be used
          (i.e., it is not permissible to generate more than one list of random
          samples and then select one for use with the Discovery Sample or Full
          Sample).

B.   CLAIMS REVIEW REPORT. The following information shall be included in the
     Claims Review Report for each Discovery Sample and Full Sample (if
     applicable).

     1. CLAIMS REVIEW METHODOLOGY.

          a. SAMPLING UNIT. A description of the Item as that term is utilized
          for the Claims Review.

          b. CLAIMS REVIEW POPULATION. A description of the Population subject
          to the Claims Review.

          c. CLAIMS REVIEW OBJECTIVE. A clear statement of the objective
          intended to be achieved by the Claims Review.

               totality of Items from which the Discovery Sample and, if any,
               Full Sample has been selected and an explanation of the
               methodology used to identify the sampling frame. In most
               circumstances, the sampling frame will be identical to the
               Population.

          e. SOURCE OF DATA. A description of the specific documentation relied
          upon by the IRO when performing the Claims Review (e.g., medical
          records, physician orders, certificates of medical necessity,
          requisition forms, local medical review policies (including title and
          policy number), CMS program memoranda (including title and issuance
          number), Medicare carrier or intermediary manual or bulletins
          (including issue and date), other policies, regulations, or
          directives).

          f. REVIEW PROTOCOL. A narrative description of how the Claims Review
          was conducted and what was evaluated.

          many Items are to be included in the Full Sample, if applicable.

          d. A description or identification of the statistical sampling
          software package used to select the sample and determine the Full
          Sample size, if applicable.

     3.   CLAIMS REVIEW FINDINGS.

          a. NARRATIVE RESULTS.

               i. A description of Polymedica's billing and coding system(s),
               including the identification, by position description, of the
               personnel involved in coding and billing.

               2.   A narrative explanation of the IRO's findings and supporting
                    rationale (including reasons for errors, patterns noted,
                    etc.) regarding the Claims Review, including the results of
                    the Discovery Sample, and the results of the Full Sample (if
                    any).

                    i. Total number and percentage of instances in which the IRO
                    determined that the Paid Claims submitted by Polymedica
                    (Claim Submitted) differed from what should have been the
                    correct claim (Correct Claim), regardless of the effect on
                    the payment.

                    ii. Total number and percentage of instances in which the
                    Claim Submitted differed from the Correct Claim and in which
                    such difference resulted in an Overpayment to Polymedica.

                    iii. Total dollar amount of all Overpayments in the sample.

                    iv. Total dollar amount of paid Items included in the sample
                    and the net Overpayment associated with the sample.

                    v. Error Rate in the sample.

                    vi. A spreadsheet of the Claims Review results that includes

                    IRO), dollar difference between allowed amount reimbursed by
                    payor and the correct allowed amount. (See Attachment 1 to
                    this Appendix.)

     4. SYSTEMS REVIEW. Observations, findings, and recommendations on possible
improvements to the system(s) and process(es) that generated the Overpayment(s).

and Records") 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 (i) the preparation of Tax Returns, or (ii) compliance with the
requirements of any Governmental Authority. Any information obtained by such

EPTI regarding certain rights under the EPTI Contracts and other contracts
between EPTI and DENA or its Affiliates (the "EPTI Settlement"). Upon completion
of the EPTI Settlement or at such time as Sellers no longer reasonably expect
the EPTI Settlement to be achieved or upon assumption by EPTI of the EPTI
Contracts, which ever first occurs, at Purchaser's election, Sellers shall
assign to Purchaser the EPTI Contracts. Sellers shall not permit the EPTI
Settlement to afford treatment of equipment purchased under the EPTI Contracts
in a manner which is less favorable than treatment afforded to other equipment
purchased from EPTI by Sellers or their Affiliates. Following the EPTI
Settlement, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist
Purchaser in obtaining certificates, acknowledgements and undertakings requested
by Purchaser from EPTI; provided, however, that Purchaser shall reimburse
Sellers for the reasonable pre-approved out-of-pocket third party costs incurred
by Sellers in providing such assistance and demonstrated to Purchaser's
reasonable satisfaction.

cost to assist Purchaser in the negotiation of third party warranties in respect
of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that at Closing, Purchaser shall
reimburse Sellers for the reasonable pre-approved out-of-pocket third party
costs incurred by Sellers in providing such assistance and demonstrated to
Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction. To the extent Sellers must acquire or renew
any Transferred Permit after the date hereof, then at Closing, Purchaser shall
reimburse Sellers for the reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs incurred by
Sellers in providing such assistance and demonstrated to Purchaser's reasonable
satisfaction.

         Section 4.7 Initial Work. In the event that Sellers have not received
written acknowledgement by August 1, 2004 from the Clark County, Nevada Health
District reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that the Authority to Construct
for an Electric Utility Facility (Source Identification Number A-1513,
Modification #0) issued to Duke Energy Moapa, LLC by the Clark County, Nevada
Health District on June 1, 2001 will not expire before September 21, 2005, then
by September 1, 2004, Sellers or their designee shall commence performance of
the work described on Schedule VII hereto (the "Initial Work") pursuant to the
terms set forth on such Schedule VII. The Initial Work shall be performed at
Sellers' sole cost and expense; provided, however, if the Closing occurs after a
portion of the Initial Work has been performed, Purchaser shall reimburse
Sellers for the costs of performing such Initial Work incurred through the
Closing Date, up to $250,000. At Closing, Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all
rights under the contract for the Initial Work and Purchaser shall assume and
accept all liability arising after Closing under such contract.

         Section 4.8 Risk of Loss. Prior to the Closing Date, all risk of loss,
damage or other casualty to the Purchased Assets shall be borne by Sellers and
Sellers shall promptly notify Purchasers of any such loss, damage or casualty or
any other change in condition of the Purchased Assets. Sellers shall repair
prior to the Closing Date to the previous condition of the Purchased Assets any
damage, loss or casualty to the Purchased Assets or breakage of any component of
the Purchased Assets that occurs; provided, however, that if the amount of such
damage, loss or breakage exceeds $6,000,000 and the Parties are unable to reach
an agreement on a remedy for such damage, loss or breakage after 30 days of the
occurrence of such loss, damage or breakage, either Party shall be entitled to
terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other Party; provided, however, that
during the period prior to such agreement Sellers shall not be obligated to
remedy such loss but shall take steps to prevent any additional loss.

         Section 6.1 Termination Prior to Closing. This Agreement may be
terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned:

                           (a) At any time before the Closing, by Sellers or
Purchaser upon notice to the other Party, in the event that any non-appealable
Law becomes effective restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting or making
illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

                           (b) At any time before Closing as provided in Section

                           (c) At any time before the Closing, by Sellers or
Purchaser upon notice to the other Party, in the event (i) of a breach hereof by
the non-terminating Party which gives rise to a Material Adverse Effect if the
non-terminating Party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days
following notification thereof by the terminating Party; provided, however, that
if, at the end of such thirty-day period, the non-terminating Party is
endeavoring in good faith, and proceeding diligently, to cure such breach, the
non-terminating Party shall have an additional thirty (30) days in which to
effect such cure; or (ii) any condition to such Party's obligations under this
Agreement (other than the payment of money to the other Party) becomes
impossible or impracticable to satisfy with the use of commercially reasonable
efforts if such impossibility or impracticability is not caused by a breach
hereof by such Party; provided, however, that if it is reasonably possible that
the circumstances giving rise to the impossibility or impracticality may be
removed prior to the expiration of the time period provided in this Section
6.1(c) of this Agreement, then such notification may not be given until such
time as the removal of such circumstances is no longer reasonably possible
within such time period;

                           (d) At any time following October 15, 2004, by
Sellers or Purchaser upon notice to the other Party if the Closing shall not
have occurred on or before such date and such failure to consummate is not
caused by a breach of this Agreement by the terminating Party; or

                           (e) By Sellers as provided in Section 2.2.2.

         Section 6.2 Effect of Termination or Breach Prior to Closing. If this
Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement, there
shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Sellers or Purchaser (or any
of their respective Related Persons), except that the provisions of Article X,

continue

                                       35

<PAGE>

to apply following any such termination. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is validly terminated by
Purchaser or Sellers pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or Section 6.1(e) as a result of
the willful breach by the other Party, the terminating Party may exercise such
remedies as may be available at law or in equity.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 7.1 Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the limitations set
forth in Sections 6.2, 7.4, 8.4, 9.1 and 11.2, Sellers agree to indemnify and
hold Purchaser and its Related Persons (each, a "Purchaser Indemnified Party"),
harmless from and against (and to reimburse each Purchaser Indemnified Party as
the same are incurred for) any and all Losses incurred by any Purchaser
Indemnified Party resulting from any of the following and not caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Indemnified Party:

                           (a) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or
warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement;

                           (b) the breach by Sellers of, or default in the
performance by Sellers of, any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed
by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Agreements; or

                           (c) the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities.

         Section 7.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations
set forth in Sections 6.2, 7.4, 9.1 and 11.2 of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers and their Related Persons (each, a "Sellers
Indemnified Party"), harmless from and against (and to reimburse each Sellers
Indemnified Party as the same are incurred for) any and all Losses incurred by
any Sellers Indemnified Party resulting from any of the following and not caused
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Sellers Indemnified Party:

                           (a) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or
warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement; or

                           (b) the breach by Purchaser of, or default in the
performance by Purchaser of, any covenant, agreement or obligation to be
performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Agreements.

         Section 7.3 Method of Asserting Claims.

                  7.3.1 Notification of Claims. If any Purchaser Indemnified
Party or Sellers Indemnified Party (each, an "Indemnified Party") asserts that a
Party has become obligated to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.1 or
7.2 above (as so obligated, an "Indemnifying Party"), or if any suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of
which the Indemnifying Party may become obligated to the Indemnified Party
hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly
and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's
expense, to the extent

                                       36

<PAGE>

reasonably necessary for the resolution of such claim or in the defense of such
suit, action or proceeding, including making available any information,
documents and things in the possession of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing notice requirement, the right to indemnification hereunder shall
not be affected by any failure to give, or delay in giving, notice unless, and
only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnifying Party shall
have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay.

                  7.3.2 Defense of Claims. In fulfilling its obligations under
this Section 7.3, after the Indemnifying Party has provided each Indemnified
Party with a written notice of its agreement to indemnify each Indemnified Party
under this Section 7.3, as between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to investigate, defend,
settle or otherwise handle, with the aforesaid cooperation, any claim, suit,
action or proceeding, brought by a third party in such manner as the
Indemnifying Party may reasonably deem appropriate; provided, that (i) counsel
retained by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to any settlement or
entry of judgment imposing any obligations on any Indemnified Parties, other
than financial obligations for which such Person will be indemnified hereunder,
unless such Person has consented in writing to such settlement or judgment
(which consent may be given or withheld in its sole discretion) and (iii) the
Indemnifying Party will not consent to any settlement or entry of judgment
unless, in connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party obtains a full and
unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect
to such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding. Notwithstanding the
Indemnifying Party's election to assume the defense or investigation of such
claim, action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense or investigation of
such claim, action or proceeding, which participation shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party, if (a) on the advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party
use of counsel of the Indemnifying Party's choice could reasonably be expected
to give rise to a material conflict of interest, (b) the Indemnifying Party
shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party
to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the
assertion of any such claim or institution of any such action or proceeding, (c)
if the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ
separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party's expense, or (d) such action shall
seek relief other than monetary damages against the Indemnified Party.

         Section 7.4 Limitations of Liability.

                  7.4.1 Cap Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct
(i) in no event shall Purchaser be obligated to expend in excess of an amount
equal to the Purchase Price (the "Cap Amount"), in the aggregate, for breaches
of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements in this Agreement, and
indemnity obligations in Section 7.2 above, and (ii) in no event shall Sellers
be obligated to expend in excess of the Cap Amount, in the aggregate, for
breaches of their representations, warranties, covenants, agreements in this
Agreement and indemnity obligations in Section 7.1 above.

                  7.4.2 Minimum Claim. Neither Party shall be required to
indemnify the other Party with respect to individual Losses or aggregated series
of related Losses that would

                                       37

<PAGE>

otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 that are less than
$100,000, other than Losses arising out of or in connection with a breach of
covenant or any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, 3.1.10,
3.1.11(a), 3.1.19, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5 or 3.2.7.

                  7.4.3 Real Estate Matters. Following the Closing, with respect
to any claim related to title encumbrances covered by the title insurance policy
issued to Purchaser upon Closing based on the Title Insurance Commitment,
Purchaser shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to recover its damages
from the title insurer that issues the title insurance policy prior to pursuing
any claim against Sellers regarding such claim; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not require Purchaser to pursue the recovery of damages from the
title insurer beyond the first adjudication of such claim in a court or
arbitration proceeding; provided, further that Sellers shall agree to toll any
applicable statute of limitations to the extent such statute of limitations
would bar such Purchaser's claim against Sellers as a result of Purchaser's
pursuit of a claim against such title insurer. The foregoing sentence shall
survive the Closing indefinitely.

                  7.4.4 Missing Material Deductible. Sellers shall not have any
liability under Section 7.1 of this Agreement or otherwise under this Agreement
for failure to deliver pursuant to Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement those
Materials and Equipment listed in Schedule II Part A, until the aggregate amount
of all Losses attributable thereto and asserted by Purchaser exceeds $2,000,000
(the "Missing Material Deductible"), and then such liability shall apply only
for Losses in excess of the Missing Material Deductible.

         Section 7.5 Indemnification in Case of Strict Liability or Indemnitee
Negligence. THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN ARTICLE VIII AND IN THIS ARTICLE
VII SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY IS BASED ON PAST,
PRESENT OR FUTURE ACTS, CLAIMS OR LAWS (INCLUDING ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, FRAUDULENT TRANSFER ACT, OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH LAW,
OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SECURITIES OR OTHER LAW), AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY
PERSON (INCLUDING THE PERSON FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR
PROVES THE SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF
THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION, OR THE SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT STRICT
LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   TAX MATTERS

         Section 8.1 Representations and Warranties. Sellers represent and
warrant to Purchaser, except as set forth on Section 8.1 of Sellers' Disclosure
Schedule or as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, as follows:

                           (a) (i) Each of Duke Moapa and Tax Parent has filed
or will file when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed on or before
the Closing Date with respect to the Purchased Assets and paid or will pay in
full all Taxes required to be paid with respect to the

                                       38

<PAGE>

Purchased Assets; and (ii) such Tax Returns were prepared or will be prepared in
the manner required by applicable Laws. Neither Duke Moapa nor Tax Parent has
received any notice that any Taxes relating to any period prior to the Closing
Date are owing that have not been paid on or before the Closing Date.

                           (b) True and complete copies of all Tax Returns and
all schedules thereto filed by, or on behalf of, Duke Moapa and copies of all
written communications to or from any Taxing Authority for all prior taxable
years have been made available to Purchaser for inspection.

                           (c) Since the date of its inception, Duke Moapa has
qualified as and been treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.

                           (d) Neither Duke Moapa nor Tax Parent has extended or
waived the application of any statute of limitations of any jurisdiction
regarding the assessment or collection of any Tax of the Sellers or Tax Parent
or with respect to the Purchased Assets.

                           (e) There are no audits, claims, assessments, levies,
administrative or judicial proceedings pending, or to the Sellers' Knowledge,
threatened, proposed or contemplated against Duke Moapa or with respect to the
Purchased Assets by any tax authority.

                           (f) Each of Duke Moapa and Tax Parent has withheld
and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with
amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, member
or other third party.

         Section 8.2 Transfer Taxes. In consideration of a payment of $1,000,000
from Purchaser to Duke Moapa (in addition to and not as a part of the Purchase
Price), Sellers shall bear all sales, use, transfer, real property transfer,
recording and other similar taxes and fees ("Transfer Taxes"), if any, arising
out of or in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets by Sellers
pursuant to this Agreement. Duke Moapa shall file all necessary documentation
and Tax Returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes and cause such Taxes, if any,
to be timely paid to the relevant Taxing Authorities. The Parties shall
cooperate to comply with all Tax Return requirements for any and all Transfer
Taxes and shall provide such documentation and take such other reasonable
actions as may be necessary to minimize the amount of any Transfer Taxes;
notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be obligated to take any
action that would cause Purchaser to incur or bear the cost of any Transfer
Taxes.

         Section 8.3 Real Property Taxes. Real and personal property ad valorem
taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets ("Property Taxes") for the taxable
period that includes the Closing Date shall be prorated on a daily basis to the
Closing Date. Sellers shall be liable only for the portion of such Property
Taxes attributable to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing
Date. Following the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate and consult
with each other with respect to the determination of such Property Taxes and
Sellers shall have the right to participate in any proceedings or disputes with
the applicable Taxing Authority concerning the determination of the amount of
such Property Taxes (including the determination of the value of the property
with respect to which such Property Taxes are assessed).

                                       39

<PAGE>

         Section 8.4 Sellers' Tax Indemnification. Sellers shall indemnify and
hold harmless Purchaser from and against (i) any and all Taxes imposed on or
incurred in respect of the income, business, assets and properties or operations
of the Sellers or Tax Parent with respect to the Purchased Assets, attributable
to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date ("Pre-Closing
Taxes"), (ii) with respect to any taxable period beginning before and ending
after the Closing Date (the "Overlap Period"), any and all Taxes imposed on or
incurred in respect of the income, business, assets and properties or the
operations of the Sellers or Tax Parent with respect to the Purchased Assets,
attributable to the period ending on the Closing Date ("Overlap Period Taxes"),
(iii) any and all Transfer Taxes and (iv) any Liabilities arising from a breach
by Sellers of their covenants in this Article VIII. For purposes of the Overlap
Period, Taxes shall be attributable to the period ending on the Closing Date:
(A) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis or otherwise measured by
the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire
period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount
of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and
the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period; and
(B) in the case of all other Taxes, to the extent of any Taxes that would be
payable if the taxable year ended on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be liable for and shall
not indemnify Sellers against any liability for any Transfer Taxes, if any,
arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets by Sellers
pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
agreement, no claim for Taxes shall be permitted under this Section 8.4 unless
such claim is first made not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of
the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions) with respect to
such Taxes.

         Section 8.5 Purchaser Tax Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify
and hold harmless Sellers and Tax Parent from and against (a) any Taxes with
respect to the Purchased Assets attributable to the time period after the
Closing Date, (b) any Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets resulting from
transactions or actions taken by Purchaser on the Closing Date but after the
Closing shall have occurred and (c) any liability arising from a breach by
Purchaser of its covenants set forth in this Article VIII.

         Section 8.6 Refunds. If after the Closing Date Purchaser receives a
refund or utilizes a credit of any Tax attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period,
Purchaser shall pay to Sellers within fifteen (15) Business Days after such
receipt or utilization an amount equal to such refund received or credit
utilized (or so much of such refund or credit as relates to the portion of the
taxable period ending on or before Closing Date), together with any interest
received or credited thereon. Purchaser shall take such action to obtain a
refund or credit attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or to mitigate, reduce
or eliminate any Taxes that could be imposed for a Pre-Closing Tax Period
(including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby) as is
reasonably requested by Sellers.

         Section 8.7 Contests. In the event Purchaser, Sellers or Tax Parent
receives written notice of any examination, claim, settlement, proposed
adjustment, administrative or judicial proceeding, or other matter ("Tax Claim")
related to any Pre-Closing Taxes, Transfer Taxes or Overlap Period Taxes,
Purchaser, Sellers or Tax Parent, as the case may be, shall notify the other
Parties in writing as soon as reasonably practical (but in no event more than
ten (10) Business

                                       40

<PAGE>

Days) after receipt of such notice. If either Seller or Tax Parent notify
Purchaser in writing within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of such
written notice they intend to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section
8.7, they shall be entitled to control the defense, prosecution, settlement or
compromise of such Tax Claim, at their own expense. Purchaser shall take such
action in contesting such Tax Claim as Sellers or Tax Parent shall reasonably
request from time to time, including the selection of counsel and experts and
execution of powers of attorney. Purchaser shall not make any payments of such
Tax Claim for at least thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be
required by applicable Law) after giving the notice required by this Section
8.7, shall give the Sellers and Tax Parent any information requested relating to
such Tax Claim, shall give any Tax Authority any information requested by
Sellers or Tax Parent relating to such Tax Claim, and otherwise shall cooperate
with and make internal resources available to the Sellers and Tax Parent in good
faith in order to effectively contest any such Tax Claim. Purchaser shall not
settle or otherwise compromise any such Tax Claim with any Taxing Authority or
prosecute such contest to a determination in court or other tribunal or initial
or appellate jurisdiction unless instructed to do so by the Sellers or Tax
Parent. Any of the Sellers or Tax Parent may settle or otherwise compromise any
such Tax Claim without Purchaser's prior written consent, except that if as a
result of such settlement or compromise the Taxes payable by Purchaser would be
materially increased, none of Sellers or Tax Parent may settle or compromise
such matter without Purchaser's prior written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. In connection with any proceeding taken with respect
to such matters, (i) Sellers and Duke America shall keep Purchaser informed of
all material developments and events relating to such matters if involving a
material liability for Taxes and (ii) Purchaser shall have the right, at its
sole expense, to participate in any such proceedings. Purchaser shall cooperate
with Sellers and Tax Parent by giving them and their representatives, on prior
reasonable notice, reasonable access and cooperation during normal business
hours to all information, books and records pertaining to Transfer Taxes,
Pre-Closing Taxes and Overlap Period Taxes.

         Section 8.8 Information. After the Closing Sellers and Purchaser will
make available to each other as requested, all information, records, or
documents relating to liability or potential liability for Pre-Closing Taxes,
Overlap Taxes and Transfer Taxes and will preserve such information, records or
documents until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute
of limitations (including extensions) with respect to such Taxes.

         Section 8.9 Tax Returns. Sellers and Tax Parent shall be responsible
for preparing and filing all Tax Returns with respect to the Purchased Assets
relating to Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall
be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns with respect to the
Purchased Assets relating to Tax periods ending after the Closing Date. Each
Party shall cooperate with the other Party with respect to preparing and filing
such Tax Returns and shall provide all information reasonably requested by the
other Party necessary to prepare and file such Tax Returns.

         Section 8.10 Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the parties
set forth in this Article VIII shall be unconditional and absolute and shall
remain in effect until thirty (30) days after expiration of the applicable
statutes of limitation (giving effect to any extensions or waivers thereof)
relating to the Tax or Tax Return in question.

         Section 8.11 Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Parties hereby agree

as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

matter hereof. Each Party hereto further agrees that service of any process,

hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or
claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS
OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

the payment of accrued but unpaid interest.

         Section 12.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction
Agreements supersede all prior discussions and agreements between the Parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, including, in each case,

Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated,
each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
negotiation, execution and performance under this Agreement and the Transaction
Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

         Section 12.5 Public Announcements. Sellers and Purchaser will not issue
or make any press releases or similar public announcements concerning the
transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If either Party is
unable to obtain the approval of its press release or similar public statement
from the other Party and such press release or similar public statement is, in
the opinion of legal counsel to such Party, required by Law in order to
discharge such Party's disclosure obligations, then such Party may make or issue
the legally required press release or similar public statement and promptly
furnish the other Party with a copy thereof. Sellers and

                                       45

<PAGE>

Purchaser will also obtain the other Party's prior approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of any press release
to be issued immediately following the execution of this Agreement or the
Closing announcing either the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         Section 12.6 Confidentiality. Each Party hereto will hold, and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Related Persons to hold, in strict
confidence from any Person (other than any such Related Persons), unless (i)
compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process (including in
connection with obtaining the necessary approvals of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby of Governmental Authorities) or by other
requirements of Law or necessary or desirable to disclose in order to obtain the
PUCN Approval or (ii) disclosed in an action or proceeding brought by a Party
hereto in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder,
all documents and information concerning the other Party or any of its Related
Persons furnished to it by the other Party or such other Party's Related Persons
in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby,
except to the extent that such documents or information can be shown to have
been (a) previously known by the Party receiving such documents or information,
(b) in the public domain (either prior to or after the furnishing of such
documents or information hereunder) through no fault of such receiving Party or
(c) later acquired by the receiving Party from another source if the receiving
Party is not aware that such source is under an obligation to another Party
hereto to keep such documents and information confidential. In the event the
transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, upon the request of the
other Party, each Party hereto will, and will use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its Related Persons to, promptly (and in no event later than
five (5) Business Days after such request) destroy or cause to be destroyed all
copies of confidential documents and information furnished by the other Party in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and
destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses,
compilations and other writings related thereto or based thereon prepared by the
Party furnished such documents and information or its Related Persons. The
obligations contained in this Section 12.6 shall not survive Closing or, if this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VI, such obligations shall survive
for one year following the termination of this Agreement.

         Section 12.7 Waivers.

                  12.7.1 Grant of Waivers. Any term or condition of this
Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit
thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written
instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or
condition. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in
any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the
same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.
All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will
be cumulative and not alternative.

                  12.7.2 Exercise of Remedies. No failure or delay of any Party,
in any one or more instances, (i) in exercising any power, right or remedy
(other than failure or unreasonable delay in giving notice of default) under
this Agreement or (ii) in insisting upon the strict performance by the other
Party of such other Party's covenants, obligations or agreements under

                                       46

<PAGE>

this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver, discharge or invalidation thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy or
insistence on strict performance, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps
to enforce such a right, power or remedy or to enforce strict performance,
preclude any other or future exercise thereof or insistence thereupon or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The covenants, obligations, and
agreements of a defaulting Party and the rights and remedies of the other Party
upon a default shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect
to any subsequent breach, act or omission.

         Section 12.8 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or
modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each
Party hereto.

         Section 12.9 No Construction Against Drafting Party. The language used
in this Agreement is the product of both Parties' efforts, and each Party hereby
irrevocably waives the benefits of any rule of contract construction that
disfavors the drafter of a contract or the drafter of specific words in a
contract.

         Section 12.10 No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of
this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party hereto and
their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of
the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

         Section 12.11 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the
provisions hereof.

         Section 12.12 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law,
and if the rights or obligations of any Party hereto under this Agreement will
not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be
fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof,
(c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) Purchaser and Sellers shall
negotiate an equitable adjustment in the provisions of the Agreement with a view
toward effecting the purposes of the Agreement, and the validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions or applications thereof,
shall not be affected thereby.

         Section 12.13 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA APPLICABLE TO A
CONTRACT EXECUTED AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

         Section 12.14 Court Costs; Interest. With respect to any court
proceeding between the Parties, the non-prevailing Party shall pay the
prevailing Party (i) all court costs, (ii) pre- and post-judgment interest on
the amount awarded from the date of the applicable breach until paid, and (iii)
reasonable attorneys' fees. The Parties shall request any court to determine the
prevailing party, the date of breach and the interest rate as part of any such
award; provided,

                                       47

<PAGE>

however, that the Parties shall stipulate to the court that with respect to any
claim, the claimant shall be deemed to be the prevailing party if the claimant
is awarded any damages whatsoever.

         Section 12.15 No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor
any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any Party hereto
without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto and any attempt to
do so will be void, except for assignments and transfers by operation of Law.
This Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by
the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

         Section 12.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

         Section 12.17 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to
all obligations of the Parties hereunder.

                            [Signature Page Follows.]

perchlorate was not detected above the laboratory detection limit of 40 ug/kg in
the remaining eleven soil samples. Results from a second supplemental sampling
indicated ammonium perchlorate was detected in 8 of 10 surface soil samples with
concentrations ranging from 63 ug/kg to 180 ug/kg. Ammonium perchlorate was not
detected in the remaining two soil samples above the laboratory detection limit.

According to the December 2000 Surface Soil and Water Well Sampling report
prepared by URS, the State of Nevada has not established soil action levels for
ammonium perchlorate. However, EPA Region IX's Preliminary Remediation Goals
("PRGs") used for screening purposes during soil investigations suggest a
baseline concentration of 940,000 ug/kg for

ammonium perchlorate before requiring further investigation and potential
cleanup. Accordingly, the levels of ammonium perchlorate detected at the Moapa
Energy Facility in June 2000 did not trigger any remediation activity

2. The Air Permit referred to as item 1 of Part B of this Section 3.1.17 has
been modified effective June 3, 2004 to establish limitations on start-up
durations consistent with GE specifications and is subject to appeal for 30 days
thereafter.

3. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has petitioned the Clark County Air
Board to assess a potential change in status of the area in which the Facility
is located from attainment to non-attainment for purposes of the Clean Air Act
and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Although this change in status
would not have an adverse impact on the Air Permit identified as item 1 of this
Section 3.1.17 Part B, if the change in status occurs it may have a significant
impact on Purchaser's ability in the future to modify the Facility or to
otherwise obtain modifications to such Air Permit.
