The Loans may from time to time be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as determined by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request and notified to the Lender in accordance with Section 2.4 below.

2.2 Promissory Note for Loans. The Loans made by the Lender shall beevidenced by, and shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of, a promissory note executed by Borrower in favor of the Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Loans committed to under Section 2.1, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Note"). The Initial Advance shall be evidenced on the Note Schedule delivered on the Effective Date, and all Advances subsequent to the Initial Advance, if any, shall be evidenced by notations thereof made on the Note Schedule by the Lender. At the time of each Loan, the Lender is hereby authorized to make a notation on the Note Schedule attached to the Note as to the date and the amount of such Loan. The principal amount shown on such Note Schedule shall be prima facie evidence of the outstanding principal amount of each such Loan. Failure to make any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or under the Note.

2.3 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower solely for working capital and general corporate purposes and to pay Borrower's costs and expenses incurred in the development of the Project and in accordance with the Development Loan Budget, and in any case shall be used only for legal and proper purposes which are consistent with all applicable Laws; provided, that such proceeds shall not be used to pay or reimburse any such costs and expenses incurred by Borrower to Affiliates of Borrower prior to the Effective Date except to the extent contemplated in the Development Loan Budget; provided, further, that no such payment or reimbursement to Affiliates of Borrower shall be made if it would result in the Borrower being unable to satisfy the equity contribution requirement of at least US$23,000,000 described in clause (xxviii) under "Conditions Precedent" in the commitment letter described in clause (i) of the definition of Construction Financing Documents.

2.4 Advances. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, as applicable:

(a) The Lender shall make Advances to Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans as follows: (i) the Initial Advance, in accordance with Section 2.4(b), and (ii) subsequent Advances, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c) .

(b) The Initial Advance for a minimum of $5,000,000 up to the aggregate amount of the Loans shall be made on the Effective Date and shall be disbursed by the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Borrower Account (such date of disbursement, the "Initial Disbursement Date") subject to the receipt by the Lender at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date of a written notice in the form of Exhibit B-I attached hereto (the "Initial Request").

(c) With respect to each Advance of the Loans (other than the Initial Advance) requested in accordance with the Development Loan Budget, Lender shall receive written notice in the form of Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (a "Subsequent Advance Request") from Borrower by 10:00 a.m. New York City time at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such Advance. Each Subsequent Advance Request shall specify the aggregate amount of the Advances requested from Lender, such amount to be for a minimum of five million dollars ($5,000,000) or, if less, the remaining amount of undrawn Loans. The Borrower shall only be entitled to submit two (2) Subsequent Advance Requests (other than the Initial Request) during the Availability Period. Provided that Borrower has complied with the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the delivery of the Subsequent Advance Request, the Lender shall disburse the requested Advance in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Borrower Account (such date of disbursement, the "Subsequent Disbursement Date").

2.5 Interest.

(a) From the Initial Disbursement Date or relevant Subsequent Disbursement Dates until paid in full, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Interest Rate, compounded annually. From the date hereof until paid in full, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Deferred Commitment Fees, if any, shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Rate, compounded annually.

(b) Interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year

comprised of 360 days (or in the case of a Base Rate Loan calculated at other than the Federal Funds Effective Rate, 365 days or, if appropriate 366 days).

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon notice to the Borrower, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and the Deferred Commitment Fees, if any, shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate, compounded annually.

(d) It is the intention of the Parties to conform strictly to applicable usury laws and anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations shall be subject to the limitation that Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be entitled to charge or receive, any interest to the extent that such interest exceeds the maximum rate of interest which Lender is permitted by applicable Law to contract for, charge or receive and which would not give rise to any claim or defense of usury. If, as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, performance of any provision hereof shall, at the time performance of such provision is due, violate applicable usury law, then, ipso facto, the Obligation to be performed shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate, and if, from any such circumstance, Lender shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable Law which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the amount of such excess interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Note or the amounts owing on other Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower.

(e) By delivering a Continuation/Conversion Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3 to the Lender on or before 12:00 noon on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than three (3) Business Days' notice that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, be, in the case of Base Rate Loans, converted into LIBOR Loans or be, in the case of LIBOR Loans, converted into Base Rate Loans or continued as LIBOR Loans (in the absence of the delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any LIBOR Loan at least three Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan); provided, however, that, at the election of Lender, no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, LIBOR Loans when any Default has occurred and is continuing.

(f) The Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by the Lender) to make or

maintain such LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that such LIBOR Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by the Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBOR Loan shall nevertheless be to the Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. In addition, the Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of this Agreement, it shall be conclusively assumed that the Lender elected to fund all LIBOR Loans by purchasing Dollar deposits in its LIBOR Office's interbank eurodollar market.

2.6 Repayment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment of principal or interest on the Loans, or in respect of any Obligation (other than indemnity obligations pursuant to Sections 5.1(c) and 7.12 of this Agreement), prior to the Maturity Date.

(b) On the Maturity Date, the following Obligations shall automatically, and without further action, become due and payable by Borrower to Lender: (i) outstanding principal of the Loans, (ii) accrued interest on the Loans and (iii) any accrued and unpaid portion of the Commitment Fee (including any Deferred Commitment Fees) and any other accrued and unpaid fees and other Obligations (other than indemnity obligations pursuant to Sections 5.1(c) and 7.12 of this Agreement which shall become due and payable as provided in such Sections).

(c) Borrower and Lender hereby agree that on the Financial Closing Date, the Available Financing Proceeds shall be used by Borrower to make the following payments in the following order of priority:

(i) The Lender shall receive full payment of the Commitment Fee;

(ii) The Lender shall receive full payment of the amounts set forth in Section 2.6(b) (other than the Commitment Fee) and any other accrued and unpaid Obligations.

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.6(c) shall be construed to extend the Maturity Date or any other applicable date for any Obligation.

(e) All payments made by Borrower shall be made irrespective of, and without any reduction for, any set-offs or counterclaims.

2.7 Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans made by the Lender hereunder, at par and without any premium, penalty or other additional charge, at any time. Borrower shall provide the Lender written notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this Section 2.7 at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking

such action. Any such prepayment shall be for the full amount of the Loans made by the Lender, together with all interest, fees, charges and other Obligations owing to the Lender, including all accrued and unpaid Obligations. Upon any such prepayment in full, any remaining commitments of the Lender under Section 2.1 shall immediately terminate and the Lender shall no longer be a Lender under this Agreement, without any further action of the Parties.

2.8 Commitment Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the Commitment Fee for each day during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the last day of the Availability Period with respect to the undrawn amount of Loans as of such day. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December until the end of the Availability Period and on the last Business Day of the Availability Period or, if earlier, the first Business Day on which all the Loans have been Advanced; provided, however, that at Borrower's election, Borrower may defer the payment of any such portion of the Commitment Fees until the Maturity Date (any portion of the Commitment Fee so deferred, the "Deferred Commitment Fees"). In the event that Borrower does not pay any portion of the Commitment Fee when due in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to defer payment of such portion of the Commitment Fee until the Maturity Date (it being understood that no breach or default shall result therefrom).

2.9 Certain LIBOR and Interest Provisions.

(a) LIBOR Lending Unlawful. If the Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan, the obligations of the Lender to make, continue or convert any such LIBOR Loan shall, after the determination thereof, forthwith be suspended until the Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBOR Loans payable to the Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

(b) Deposits Unavailable. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that

(i) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to it in its relevant market; or

(ii) by reason of circumstances affecting its relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then, upon written notice from the Lender to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lender to make or continue any Loans under Section 2.1 and Section 2.4 on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) Increased LIBOR Loan Costs etc.

(i) The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for any increase in the cost to the Lender, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by the Lender in respect of, the Lender's commitments and the making of Loans hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make or continue) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, LIBOR Loans) that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase in after the Closing Date of; any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (each, a "Change in Law"), that (a) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserves, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Lender, or (b) imposes on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by the Lender or participation therein, except for (i) such changes with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which are governed by Sections 2.9(e) and 2.9(f), respectively, and (ii) increased costs which are already included in the determination of the Statutory Reserve Rate. The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required to fully compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to the Lender within 10 days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

(ii) A certificate of an officer of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as specified in this Section 2.9(c) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 5 days after receipt thereof.

(iii) Promptly after the Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.9(c), the Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender's right to demand such compensation.

(d) Funding Losses. In the event the Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to make or continue any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan) as a result of:

(i) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(ii) any Loans not being made as LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor;

(iii) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor; or

(iv) any LIBOR Loans not being prepaid in accordance with any notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.7;

then, upon the written notice of the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall, within 10 days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to the Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of the Lender) reimburse the Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to the Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by the Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, as the Adjusted LIBOR that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a LIBOR Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal

amount for such period at the interest rate which the Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

(e) Increased Capital Costs. If, after the Effective Date, any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender, and the Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or its controlling Person's capital as a consequence of the commitment or the Loans made, by the Lender is reduced to a level below that which the Lender or controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within five days following receipt of such notice pay directly to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender or controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of the Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

A certificate of an officer of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as specified in this Section 2.9(e) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Promptly after the Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.9(e), the Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender's right to demand such compensation.

(f) Taxes. The Borrower covenants and agrees as follows with respect to Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by the Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except to the extent such deduction or withholding is required by Law. In the event that any Taxes are required by Law to be deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender under any Loan Document, then:

(1) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary such that the net payment, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, is equal to the amount provided for in such Loan Document (and for the avoidance of doubt, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to pay such increased amounts without regard to whether such Taxes are imposed on the Borrower or another party); and

(2) the Borrower shall withhold or cause to be withheld the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased pursuant to clause (i)(1), if applicable) and shall pay or cause to be paid such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Without duplication, the Borrower shall pay any and all Other Taxes that arise from the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents to the relevant Governmental Authority imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with applicable Law.

(iii) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and in any event within 45 days of any such payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender a copy of an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lender evidencing the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(iv) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed, assessed on or actually paid by or on behalf of the Lender. With respect to indemnification for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes actually paid by the Lender or the indemnification provided in the immediately preceding sentence, such indemnification shall be made within 45 days after the date the Lender makes written demand therefor. A certificate stating the amount of such liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(v) The Lender shall deliver documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not and to what extent the Lender is subject to withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, on or before it becomes a party to this Agreement and upon expiration of a previously delivered form, two duly completed original copies of (i) if such Lender is a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or (ii) if such Lender is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (properly establishing a complete exemption from or reduction in the United States withholding tax with respect

to payments to be received under this Agreement or the Loans) or W-8ECI. The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it is no longer qualified for the reduction or exemption from the United States withholding tax as claimed in any previously delivered form.

Funds received after that time shall be deemed, in the Lender's sole discretion, to have been received by the Lender on the next succeeding Business Day. Except as otherwise set forth herein, payments due on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the preceding Business Day.

(h) Setoff. The Lender shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with the Lender; the Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(e) Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers Corporation Service Company (the "Process Agent") with offices on the date hereof at 1133 Avenue of the Americas, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on behalf of Borrower, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding.

provided for under the Laws in effect in the County of New York, State of New York, and the Process Agent hereby is authorized and directed to accept such service for and on behalf of Borrower, and to admit service with respect thereto.

(f) Upon service of process being made on the Process Agent as provided in Section 7.7(e), a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process served shall be given by the Process Agent to Borrower in the manner provided in Section 7.8, or to such other address as Borrower may notify the Process Agent in writing. Personal service upon the Process Agent as provided in Section 7.7(e) shall be deemed to be personal service on Borrower and shall be legal and binding upon Borrower for all purposes, notwithstanding any failure of the Process Agent to give copies of such legal process thereto, or any failure on the part of Borrower to receive the same.

(g) Borrower will at all times continuously maintain an agent to receive service of process in the County of New York, State of New York on its behalf with respect to each Loan Document. In the event that for any reason the Process Agent or any successor thereto shall no longer serve as agent for Borrower to receive service of process in the County of New York on its behalf or shall have changed its address without notification thereof to the Process Agent, Borrower, immediately after having knowledge thereof, will irrevocably designate and appoint a substitute agent in the County of New York, State of New York and advise Lender.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 7.7 shall preclude the Lender from bringing any legal suit, action or proceeding against Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction where Borrower or any of its property or assets may be found or located. To the extent permitted by the Laws of any such jurisdiction, Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and expressly waives, in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding, the jurisdiction of any court or courts which now or hereafter, by reason of its present or future domiciles, or otherwise, may be available to it.

(i) Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document or the transactions in connection with, or relating hereto or thereto, brought in the courts referred to in clause (d) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

7.8 Notices. Without modifying any of the provisions of this Agreement concerning the requirements for, or waiver of, any notice, all notices, consents, or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered properly given if mailed by first class United States mail,

7.9 Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required; and it shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signatures of all persons required to bind any party, appear on such counterpart, but it shall be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of the persons required to bind any party, appear on one or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the Parties hereto.

7.10 Confidentiality. The Lender agrees to hold any information designated as "confidential" that it receives from Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence in accordance with procedures adopted by Lender in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to it, except for disclosure (a) to the Lender's directors, owners, officers, employees, agents, legal counsel, accountants and other professional consultants, provided that such Persons are bound by the provisions of this Section 7.10, have a professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of confidential information supplied to them or agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof on substantially the same basis as is provided under this Section 7.10, (b) to other professional advisors for the Lender, provided that such other professional advisor agrees to maintain the confidentiality thereof on substantially the same basis as is provided under this Section 7.10, (c) to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lender as required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable Law, (d) as required by applicable Law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which the Lender is a party, (e) to another Person in connection with a participation or assignment or a proposed participation or assignment as contemplated by Section 7.1 (which Person shall be required to sign a confidentiality agreement provided by the Lender with respect to such confidential information), (f) to any Affiliate of the Lender provided that such Affiliate shall be subject to the same obligations of confidentiality under this Section 7.10 as the Lender, (g) to prospective purchasers of any Collateral in connection with any disposition thereof, and (h) to any other Lender. The confidentiality

obligations set forth above shall not, however, apply to any information (i) which is not treated by Borrower in a manner designed to maintain the confidentiality thereof; (ii) filed with any Governmental Authority and available to the public, (iii) published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, the Lender, or (iv) disclosed by Borrower to any Person not associated with Borrower without first obtaining a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 7.10. Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Lender to Borrower.

7.11 Indemnity. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which are asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the Project or the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to the Project or this Agreement or any Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Party under this paragraph with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party makes any payment to any other Indemnified Party with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Party receiving such payment, the Indemnified Party making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. Lender may notify Borrower of the progress of any claims with respect to Indemnified Liabilities pursuant to this Section 7.11 and Borrower shall be entitled, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any third party claim for which it may owe the Lender an indemnity, pursuant to this Section 7.11, it being understood that the Lender shall control such defense. The obligations of Borrower in this Section 7.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Borrower's other obligations under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall not he applicable to claims made by third parties in the event Lender acquires an equity interest in Borrower.

7.12 Scope of Liability.

Power Inc. or their Affiliates (except Borrower), or the stockholders or other owners, officers, directors or employees of any of them (each, a "Non-Recourse Party"), for any liability to Lender arising in connection with any breach or default under this Agreement except to the extent the same is enforced against Borrower and the Collateral and the rents, issues, profits, proceeds and products of the Collateral, and Lender shall look solely to Borrower (but not to any Non-Recourse Party or to any distributions received by any Non-Recourse Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and the Collateral and the rents, issues, profits, proceeds and products of the Collateral in enforcing rights and Obligations under and in connection with the Loan Documents; provided that (a) the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.12 shall not constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any of the indebtedness, or of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan Document (but without personal liability to the Non-Recourse Parties), and the same shall continue until this Agreement has terminated and all Obligations have been fully paid, discharged, observed, or performed; and (b) the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.12 shall not limit or restrict the right of Lender to name Borrower, Owner or any other Non-Recourse Party as a defendant in any action or suit for a judicial foreclosure or for the exercise of any other remedy under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise, or for injunction or specific performance, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment shall be enforced against any Non-Recourse Party out of any property, assets or funds other than the Collateral and the rents, issues, profits, proceeds or products of the Collateral, and any other property of Borrower.

Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Lender shall have given notice to the Pledgor of its intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6 below, the Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Pledged Interests; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or other right exercised or other organizational action taken which, in the Lender's judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Security Document.

SECTION 6. RIGHTS OF THE LENDER.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by the Pledgor shall be held by the Pledgor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Pledgor, he turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the Pledgor (duly indorsed by the Pledgor to the Lender, if required). All money Proceeds received by the Lender hereunder shall be held in a Collateral Account. All Proceeds while held by the Lender in a Collateral Account (or by the Pledgor in trust for the Lender) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in paragraph (b).

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Lender shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Pledgor, (1) the Lender shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Interests and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as the Lender may determine, and (2) all of the Pledged Interests shall be registered in the name of the Lender or its nominee, and the Lender or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Interests at any meeting of members of the Borrower or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of the Borrower, or upon the exercise by the Pledgor or the Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Lender shall have no duty to the Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

SECTION 7. REMEDIES.

-6-

(a) Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Lender's election, the Lender may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Obligations in such order as the Lender may elect.

(b) Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Lender shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, attorney's fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

SECTION 8. [Intentionally omitted]

SECTION 9. PRIVATE SALES.

(a) The Pledgor recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions under applicable federal and state law or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any

-7-

of the Pledged Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.

(b) The Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Interests pursuant to this Section valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable requirements of federal or state law. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.

SECTION 10. SUBORDINATION. The Pledgor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Lender, all Indebtedness owing by it shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

SECTION 11. IRREVOCABLE AUTHORIZATION AND INSTRUCTION TO BORROWER. The Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs the Borrower to comply with any instruction received by it from the Lender in writing that (a) states that an Event of Default has occurred and (b) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Pledgor.

SECTION 12. LENDER'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

12.1 Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or agent of the Lender, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneyin-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or in its own name, from time to time in the Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) If the Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Lender, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement (and shall give the Pledgor notice thereof).

(c) The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

SECTION 13. DUTY OF LENDER. The Lender's sole duty with respect to the custody,

-8-

safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar securities and property for its own account.

-9-

Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder.

SECTION 14. EXECUTION OF FINANCING STATEMENTS. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to file or record at any time and from time to time in any jurisdiction in which the Code has been adopted initial financing statements or amendments thereof and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Pledgor in such form and in such filing offices as the Lender determines appropriate. The Pledgor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Lender of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

SECTION 15. NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Lender or the Pledgor to be effective shall be in writing (or by telex, fax or similar electronic transfer confirmed in writing) and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (1) when delivered by hand or (2) if given by mail, three (3) days after being deposited in the mails by certified mail, return receipt requested, or (3) if by telex, fax or similar electronic transfer, when sent and receipt has been confirmed, addressed to the Lender or the Pledgor at its address or transmission number for notices as set forth below.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Litigation

In December 2006, an Affiliate of the Borrower and its former drilling contractor agreed to the binding arbitration process under the laws of the State of Nevada in order to resolve certain disputes regarding drilling services rendered. The maximum amount under dispute approximates $900,000 USD. The Borrower is confident that the amounts owing are substantially less and accordingly has accrued a smaller amount; however the outcome of the arbitration process is not presently determinable.
