which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material) and all
necessary and appropriate filings having been duly effected in all
appropriate public offices so that the liens and security interests created
by this Security Agreement constitute perfected first (other than as to

perfected security interests in all right,
7
title, estate and interest of the Borrower in and to all items of
Collateral (other than any item of Collateral as to which a security

the right, however, to contest in good faith the validity or amount of any
such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim by proper proceedings timely

item (other than any such item which the Borrower, with the consent of the
Required Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld), deems to be unmerited

Required Lenders, after giving affect to such expense, sufficient funds are
projected to be available in the Construction Budget to complete the
Facility in accordance with subsection 7.1 of the Loan Agreement, (c)
during the period of such contest the enforcement of any contested item is
effectively stayed; provided, however, that this clause (c) shall apply to
contested income taxes of a Partner only if the failure to pay such tax may
then become a Lien on the Facility or any of the other Collateral or may
interfere with the timely completion or operation of the Facility and (d)

8
contest does not involve any substantial danger of the sale, forfeiture or
loss of any part of the Project, title thereto or any interest therein and

such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim and cause the same to be

proper proceedings timely instituted, and may permit such Lien to exist
during the period of such contest if: (a) the Borrower diligently
prosecutes such contest, (b) such contested item (other than any such item
which the Borrower with the consent of the Required Lenders (not to be
unreasonably withheld), deems to be unmerited and not to require the
setting aside of any reserves) is included as an expense in the

after giving effect to such expense, sufficient funds are projected to be
available in the Construction Budget to complete the Facility in accordance
with subsection 7.1 of the Loan Agreement, (c) during the period of such

paid any valid, final judgment enforcing any such item, cause the Lien
relating thereto to be removed and otherwise cause such item to be

Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent 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
Borrower or any 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, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract

sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Agent 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 Agent 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 Borrower, which right or equity is hereby
waived or released. The Borrower further agrees at the Agent's request, to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the
Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower's promises or elsewhere.
The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery,
receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable
costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein 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 Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Obligations, in such order as the Agent may elect, in accordance with the
Collateral Agency Agreement, and only after such application and after the
payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law,
including, without limitation, Section 9-504 (1) (c) of the Code, need the Agent
account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may
acquire against the Agent arising out of the exercise by it 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 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall
remain liable for any-deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the
fees
13
and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Borrower to collect such
deficiency.
(b) The Agent shall have the right (i) to notify or to require the
Borrower to notify persons obligated on any instruments, accounts, or Contracts
which are part of the Collateral to make payment thereof directly to the Agent
or as the Agent shall direct, (ii) to collect and enforce any such accounts and
contracts, and (iii) if an event of default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to compromise, settle or otherwise agree to waive, amend or modify
the obligation of any account debtors or obligors under such accounts and
contracts. Subject to the Security Deposit Agreement, until such time as the
Agent elects to exercise such rights, the Borrower, as the agent of the Agent
shall collect and enforce all such contracts and accounts. The cost of such
collection and enforcement, including attorneys' fees and expenses, shall be
borne by the Borrower, whether the same is incurred by the Agent or the
Borrower.
The foregoing rights and powers of the Agent shall be in addition to, and
not a limitation upon, any rights and powers of the Agent given by law, custom,
elsewhere by this Security Agreement, the Loan Agreement or otherwise.
6. Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact (a) Powers. The Borrower
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent
thereof,. with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-
fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the
Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or in its own name, from time to time
in the Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
Security 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 Security Agreement, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby gives the Agent the power and
right, on behalf of the Borrower, without notice to or assent by the Borrower,
to do the following:
(i) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance
called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any
part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
(ii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
thereunder directly to the Agent or an the Agent shall direct; (B) to ask
or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all

give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (G)
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to
assign any patent or trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to
which any such trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or
terms on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its
sole discretion determine; and (H) upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, generally, to sell, transfer, pledge
and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Agent's option and the
Borrower's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things
which the Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize
upon the Collateral and the Agent's Lions thereon and to effect the intent
of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower
might do.
The Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b) Other Powers. The Borrower also authorizes the Agent, at any time
and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in
Section 5 hereof, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(c) No Duty on Part of Agent or Lenders. The powers conferred on the
Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Agent's interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent, GE Capital or the Lenders to
exercise any such powers. The Agent, GE Capital and the Lenders shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
and specifically disclaim any liability for negligence.
7. Performance by Agent of the Borrower's Obligations. If the
Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its
15
agreements contained herein and the Agent, as provided for by the terms of this
Security Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause
performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Agent
incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable
by the Borrower to the Agent on demand and shall constitute obligations secured
hereby.
8. Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (a)
all Proceeds received by the Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-
cash items shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance
with the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement, and otherwise shall be held
by the Borrower in trust for the Agent, segregated from other funds of the
Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Borrower, be turned over to
the Agent in the exact form received by the Borrower (duly indorsed by the
Borrower to the Agent, if required), and (b) any and all such Proceeds received
by the Agent (whether from the Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole
discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral security for, and/or
then or at anytime thereafter may be applied by the Agent against, the
obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order
an the Agent shall elect in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement. Any
balance of such Proceeds remaining after the obligations shall have been paid in
full and the Commitments shall have been terminated shall be paid over to the
Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
9. General. (a) No Waiver. No delay on the part of any of the Agent,
GE Capital or any Lender in exercising any power or right shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or
right. No waiver by the Agent, GE Capital or any Lender of any right hereunder
or of any default by the Borrower shall be binding upon the Agent, GE Capital
or any Lender unless in writing, and no failure by the Agent or any Lender to
exercise any right hereunder or waiver of any default of the Borrower shall
operate as a waiver of any other or further exercise of such right or of any
further default. A waiver by the Agent, GE Capital or any 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 Agent, GE Capital or any Lender would otherwise have
on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative,
may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
(b) Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms
or provisions of this security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Borrower
and the Agent, Provided that any provision of this Security Agreement may be
waived by the Agent in a written letter or agreement executed by
16
the Agent or by telex or facsimile transmission from the Agent. This Security
Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Borrower and
shall inure to the benefit of the Agent, GE Capital and the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns.
(c) Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing, by telecopier, or
if available by telex, and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be
deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or when deposited
in the mail, first class postage prepaid, or, in the case of transmission by
telecopier, when confirmation of receipt is obtained, or in the case of telex
notice, answerback received, addressed as set forth in subsection 11.2 of the

statements, or chattel mortgages with respect to any Collateral covered by this
Security Agreement and to file the same in any appropriate office or place. A
carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or of any
financing statement or chattel mortgage prepared in conjunction herewith is

Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent
deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Agent, GE Capital
and any Lender, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any
part 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 Borrower or otherwise.

herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Agreement are for convenience of reference only
