ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
OF GENERAL APPLICATION
SECTION 1.1. Definitions. For all purposes of this Agreement,
except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires,
capitalized terms used in this Agreement, its schedules and its exhibits have
the meanings given in Appendix A.
SECTION 1.2. Rules of Interpretation. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix A
hereto shall apply to this Agreement.
SECTION 1.3. Form of Documents Delivered to Collateral Agent
or the Representatives. In any case where several matters are required to be
certified by or covered by an opinion of any specified Person, it is not
necessary that all such matters be certified by or covered by the opinion of
only one such Person, or that they be so certified by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer or the Program Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel,
unless such Officer knows or has reason to believe that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous or contain any material omissions.
Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates
to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
Officer or Officers of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Program Manager, stating
that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession
of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Program Manager (as the case may be), unless
such counsel knows or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
erroneous or contain any material omissions.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, they
may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

to any other location by giving no less than 20 days' notice to the other
parties in the manner set forth hereinabove.
SECTION 1.5. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one of the same agreement.
SECTION 1.6. Effect of Heading and Table of Contents. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION 1.7. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and
agreements in this Agreement by any party hereto shall bind and, to the extent
permitted hereby, shall be enforceable against its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not. Unless expressly provided in Section 4.13 or 4.14
hereof, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

additional acts reasonably requested by any such Person to effect the purposes
of the Financing Documents, including, without limitation, enabling the

Documents.
SECTION 1.9. Delay and Waiver. No delay or omission to
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default or any other breach or default of the Issuers under this Agreement or
any other Financing Document shall impair any
4
10
such right, power or remedy of the Lenders, the Collateral Agent or the
Representatives nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or
default, or an acquiescence therein, or in any similar breach or default
thereafter occurring, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any such party
of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or any other Financing
Document preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy, nor shall any waiver of any single Event of
Default or other breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other Event of
Default or other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any
waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any
Lender, the Collateral Agent or any Representative of any Event of Default or
other breach or default under this Agreement or any other Financing Document or
any waiver on the part of any Lender, the Collateral Agent or any
Representative, of any provision or condition of this Agreement or any other
Financing Document, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent

alternative.
SECTION 1.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED
HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT TO WHICH SUCH PERSON IS A PARTY, OR ANY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF
THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT
TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY.
SECTION 1.11. Severability Clause. If any provision in this
Agreement or in any other Financing Document is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, (i) the other provisions hereof or of any such other Financing
Document shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction, (ii) the
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision hereof or of any
other Financing Document in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity,
legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction and (iii)
the parties hereto shall enter into good faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
SECTION 1.12. Benefits of Common Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Financing Document, expressed or implied, shall give to

hereunder and thereunder and the Lenders, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

SECTION 1.15. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS
AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW.
SECTION 1.16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any
agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or referred to herein,
including (without limitation) all other Financing Documents, integrate all the
terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all
oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 1.17. Limitation on Liability. No claim shall be made
by the Issuers or any of their Affiliates against any of the Representatives,
the Collateral Agent, the Noteholders or any of their Affiliates, directors,
employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort
or duty imposed by law), in connection with, arising out of or in any way
related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Financing Documents or any act or omission or event occurring in connection
therewith; and the Issuers hereby waive, release and agree not to xxx upon any
such claim for any such damages, whether or not known or suspected to exist in
its favor.
SECTION 1.18. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Issuers' obligations under any Financing Document, or any
part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or
must otherwise be restored or returned by any Representative, the Collateral
Agent or the Noteholders. If any payment or any part thereof is so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, such obligations shall be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.
SECTION 1.19. No Partnership, Etc. The Secured Parties and the
Issuers intend that the relationship between them shall be solely that of
creditor and debtor. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other

tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between
the Secured Parties and the Issuers or by the Secured Parties and any other
Person.
SECTION 1.20. No Petition. Each party hereto hereby covenants
and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all amounts payable in respect of the Financing Documents, it
will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the
Issuer or the Co-Issuer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law. This Section 1.20 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.

12
SECTION 1.21. Costs and Expenses. The Issuers shall pay the
legal and other professional fees and costs of any consultants and advisors to
the Representatives and the Collateral Agent and the travel expenses and other
out-of-pocket costs, all of which shall be reasonably incurred by the
Representatives and the Collateral Agent and such consultants and advisors in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery, and, where
appropriate, registration, of this Agreement and any other Financing Documents
(and all matters incidental thereto), the administration of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Financing Documents (including,
without limitation, the monitoring of this Agreement and any other Financing
Documents), and the preservation or enforcement of any of their respective
rights or in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents or other
implementation and administrative actions required under this Agreement and any
other Financing Documents. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Representatives and the Collateral Agent will not hire any
consultants or advisors whose fees and costs shall be borne by the Issuers
without the prior written consent of the Issuers on the terms and conditions of
such fees and expenses, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
SECTION 1.22. Indemnities. The Issuer agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless each Representative and
the Collateral Agent and each of their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents (each, an "Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel and claims, damages, liabilities and expenses) for
which any of them may become liable or which may be incurred by or asserted
against such Indemnitee (other than by such Indemnitee or any of their
respective successors or assigns), in each case in connection with or arising
out of or by reason of any investigation, litigation, or proceeding, whether or
not such Indemnitee is a party thereto, arising out of, related to or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document (EXPRESSLY
INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGES, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE, ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE
ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE, BUT EXCLUDING ANY
SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE). IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO
THAT EACH INDEMNITEE, SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 1.22, BE
INDEMNIFIED FOR THEIR OWN ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE.
SECTION 1.23. Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a) Except as set forth in subsection (b), the Issuers hereby
irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or
federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, and the Issuers hereby irrevocably agree that
all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such New York State or federal court. The Issuers hereby irrevocably waive,
to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, any defense which they now or
hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such
court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum and to the maintenance of such action or
7
13
proceeding. The Issuers irrevocably consent to the service of any and all
process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such
process to it at the address set forth in Section 1.4. The Issuers agree that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no document filed, assertion
made, or issue adjudicated in any court or other arbitral proceeding shall have
a collateral, judicial, or other estoppel or res judicata effect on any arbitral
proceeding that is subject to Section 11.11 of the Management Agreement.
(b) The foregoing submission to jurisdiction is not intended
to and shall not apply to any claim, controversy, issue or accounting bearing on
Article 9 of the Enron Support Agreement except insofar as such claim,
controversy, issue or accounting arises in connection with a motion to confirm,
vacate, or modify an arbitration award rendered pursuant to Section 11.11 of the
Management Agreement.
SECTION 1.24. Additional Parties
In the event the Issuer enters into one or more Backup
Facilities after the Closing Date, each Person acting as Backup Facility Agent
for such Backup Facility is required to become a party to this Agreement on
behalf of the Backup Lenders for whom such Person is acting by executing and
delivering to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent a Designation Letter
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit F hereto. Each Backup Facility
Agent made party to this Agreement pursuant to this section shall be bound by,
and be subject, to the terms and conditions hereof and the covenants,
stipulations and agreements contained herein.
ARTICLE 2
PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION
SECTION 2.1. Project Loans and Qualifying Criteria.
(a) (i) The Issuer may, from time to time during the
Investment Period, make Project Loans to a Project Borrower or acquire Project
Loans of a Project Borrower, in each case in respect of Eligible Projects which
satisfy the Qualifying Criteria as of the Financial Closing Date therefor. The
Issuer shall not initially fund any Project Loan, unless (as evidenced by an
Officer's certificate of the Program Manager delivered to the Collateral Agent
and the Representatives) each of the Qualifying Criteria is satisfied with
respect to such Project Loan on the Financial Closing Date for such Project
Loan, after giving effect to the support provided, if any, by Enron, an Enron
Credit Counterparty or an Acceptable Credit Provider, pursuant to the terms of
the Enron Support Agreement and/or as contemplated by the final proviso to the
definition of Project Loan Criteria in Appendix A hereto.
The Issuer shall not enter into a Commitment unless such
Commitment is subject to cancellation in the event any of the Qualifying
Criteria is not satisfied as of the Financial Closing Date for the related
Project Loan. Initial funding under all Project Loans shall occur no later than
the Scheduled Investment Termination Date.
8
14
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(a)(i), the Issuer may make loans in respect of Eligible Projects through one or
more Intermediate Funding Entities so long as:
(A) the initial funding to an Intermediate Funding Entity by
the Issuer, or by an Intermediate Funding Entity to
another Intermediate Funding Entity, occurs on or after
the Financial Closing Date for the related Project Loan;
(B) in the case of an Intermediate Funding Entity that is
wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer, the
ownership interests of such Intermediate Funding Entity
are pledged to the Collateral Agent;
(C) any operating expenses and tax liabilities of an
Intermediate Funding Entity are paid first, from fees,
if any, received by such Intermediate Funding Entity in
connection with the related Intermediate Funding Loan,
and second, from interest payments received by such
Intermediate Funding Entity from the related Project
Borrower or Intermediate Funding Entity, as the case may
be, and third, from principal payments received by such
Intermediate Funding Entity from the related Project
Loan or Intermediate Funding Loan, as the case may be;
(D) each Rating Agency is provided with reasonable details
regarding the structure of the Intermediate Funding
Entities related to a Project Loan; and
(E) the Intermediate Funding Loan made by the Issuer to such
Intermediate Funding Entity and, to the extent
applicable, by one Intermediate Funding Entity to
another Intermediate Funding Entity, each satisfy the
following criteria:
(I) such Intermediate Funding Loan is secured by a
valid first priority perfected lien on the
relevant Intermediate Funding Entity's tangible
and intangible assets relating (directly or
indirectly) to a particular Project Loan (to the
extent such collateral security interest may be
perfected under applicable law) and in the case
of an Intermediate Funding Entity making loans
(directly or indirectly) in respect of more than
one Project Borrower, the obligations of such
Intermediate Funding Entity in respect of loans
advanced to it by the Issuer or by another
Intermediate Funding Entity are limited solely to
the tangible and intangible assets of such
Intermediate Funding Entity directly relating to
the relevant Project Loan;
(II) the notes evidencing the Project Loan, and to the
extent applicable, any Intermediate Funding Loan,
are pledged by the applicable Intermediate
Funding Entity to the Issuer (either directly or
indirectly through one or more Intermediate
Funding Entities) and,
9
15
pursuant to the Security Agreement,
indirectly to the Collateral Agent;
(III) such Intermediate Funding Loan, if made by
the Issuer, is denominated in Dollars;
provided, however, that any other
Intermediate Funding Loan may be denominated
in currency other than Dollars if such loan
complies with the requirements of clause (1)
of the definition of "Project Loan Criteria"
set forth in Appendix A hereto;
(IV) on or prior to the Financial Closing Date of
such Intermediate Funding Loan, the Issuer
will have received satisfactory opinions of
Independent counsel (which counsel may rely,
to the extent customary, on opinions of
in-house counsel and assume the accuracy
thereof);
(V) payment provisions of such Intermediate
Funding Loan provide that such Intermediate
Funding Entity make principal and interest
(and any other) payments to the Issuer or
Intermediate Funding Entity (as applicable)
in amounts and under payment terms
substantially similar to (x) the amounts and
payment terms of the related Project Loan,
in the case of an Intermediate Funding Loan
made to an Intermediate Funding Entity
directly making a Project Loan or (y) the
amounts and payment terms of the related
Intermediate Funding Loan, in the case of an
Intermediate Funding Loan made to another
Intermediate Funding Entity; provided,
however, the amounts owing under the
Intermediate Funding Loan may be reduced
from the amounts payable under the related
Project Loan, in the case of foregoing
clause (x) and the related Intermediate
Funding Loan, in the case of foregoing
clause (y), to the extent, and only to the
extent, necessary to pay the operating
expenses and tax liabilities of such
Intermediate Funding Entity that is the
borrower of such Intermediate Funding Loan;
and
(VI) any event of default under the related
Project Loan will constitute an event of
default under such Intermediate Funding
Loan.
(iii) The provisions hereof or of any other Transaction
Document shall, as the context may reasonably permit or require, be construed to
reflect the intent of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1 to allow the
Issuer to make Project Loans indirectly to Project Borrowers through one or more
Intermediate Funding Entities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, references herein or in any other Transaction Document to any rights
or interests that the Issuer may have in or with respect to a Project Loan or a
Project Borrower shall, insofar as such rights or interests are derived through
one or more Intermediate Funding Entities and notwithstanding any provision of
any Transaction Document to the contrary, be deemed to be references to such
derivative and indirect rights or interests.
10
16
(b) (i) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a)(i) or any provision in
any Financing Document to the contrary, if, on any date after the Closing Date,
there shall be a transfer of the ownership of EI to a Person (the "Transferee")
as set forth in Section 14.8 of the Enron Support Agreement, then the Enron
Ownership Requirement shall be deemed satisfied so long as the requirements
therein are satisfied after (and the definitions of Enron Ownership Percentage
and Enron Ownership Requirement in said Appendix A shall be construed by)
substituting, in lieu of Enron or any Enron Affiliate (as relevant) for all
purposes thereof, the Transferee.
(ii) Upon receipt of prior notification by Enron of a proposed
Equity Disposition, the Issuer shall, as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than ten days following receipt of such notice, seek to confirm that the
Rating Condition would be satisfied based on the following assumptions (the
"Assumptions"): (A) the sale of the Project Loan for an amount equal to the
Disposition Amount therefor, (B) redemption or prepayment pursuant to Section
10.3(a)(iii) and (C) Enron Distributions are calculated pursuant to clause (c)
of the definition of Enron Distributions. If the Issuer obtains a confirmation
of the Rating Condition based on the Assumptions, the Issuer shall notify Enron
of such confirmation and the amount of Enron Distributions calculated pursuant
to clause (c) of the definition of Enron Distributions. Upon payment of the
Disposition Amount by Enron or its designee to the Issuer, (x) the Issuer shall
transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Project Loan to Enron or its
designee, (y) the Lien of the Security Agreement with respect to such Project
Loan shall be released in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Security Agreement
and (z) the Issuer shall effect a redemption pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(iii);
provided, however, the Issuer shall not effect such mandatory redemption (and no
such payment of the Disposition Amount shall be payable to the Issuer) in the
event such Project Loan is retained as Collateral by the Issuer upon the
approval of the Required Lenders.
If the Issuer fails to obtain a confirmation of the Rating
Condition based upon the Assumptions, (A) the Issuer shall notify Enron that the
Rating Condition has not been so confirmed, (B) the Issuer shall be required to
retain the Project Loan as Collateral, (C) Enron Distributions shall be
calculated pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of "Enron Distributions"
without adjustment pursuant to subclause (y) thereof and (D) no mandatory
redemption shall be effected (and no payment of the Disposition Amount shall be
payable to the Issuer) as a result of such Equity Disposition.
SECTION 2.2. Temporary Investment Portfolio. On or prior to
the Closing Date, the Issuer shall enter into a TIP Investment Management
Agreement pursuant to which ___________________ shall act as the initial TIP

guidelines regarding the Temporary Investments, including the Committed TIP
Investment Policies and the Uncommitted TIP Investment Policies.
SECTION 2.3. Program Manager.
(a) The Issuer hereby covenants with each party hereto and
each other Secured Party that until the Final Termination Date:
(i) the Issuer will engage the Program Manager to manage and
administer the Portfolio Assets in accordance with the provisions of
the Management Agreement; and
11
17
(ii) the Issuer will not give any instructions to the Program
Manager in respect of its performance of the Management Agreement or
the sale, acquisition or disposition of Portfolio Assets in

empowered and authorized to take any and all actions on behalf of the Issuer and
the Co-Issuer hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, subject to the

discretion of the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be. Specifically
and without limiting the foregoing, each party hereto agrees, on its behalf and,
in the case of each Representative, on behalf of each Secured Party for whom
such Representative is acting, that any direct or indirect claim, counterclaim,
issue or accounting of such Person of any nature whatsoever against the Program
Manager arising out of or in connection with the Financing Documents, other than
in connection with a motion to confirm, modify or vacate an arbitration award,
shall be subject to Sections 2.02, 2.07 and 11.11 of the Management Agreement.

as (1) in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer after
consultation with the Rating Agencies, such Material

withdrawal of the rating of any of the Class A Notes and Class
B Notes that would not otherwise occur in the absence of such
Material Modification and (2) if the result thereof is to
cause such Project Loan or Intermediate Funding Loan to no
longer satisfy the Project Loan Criteria or the Intermediate
Funding Loan Criteria, the Issuer shall have first considered
any practicable alternatives to such Material Modification
that would enable the Issuer to satisfy the Project Loan
Criteria or the Intermediate Funding Loan Criteria and shall

19
25

letters in respect of Project Loans or Intermediate Funding Loans.

Document to the contrary, the Co-Issuer shall not have, and shall take no action
that would cause it to have, any material assets or material income, and it
shall not succeed to, or have any right or entitlement to, proceeds from the
issuance of any Notes, the Collateral or any income or assets of the Issuer. The
Co-Issuer hereby waives any right or entitlement to proceeds from the issuance
of any Notes, the Collateral and any income or assets of the Issuer or any other

the Assumed Loss Amount shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due
Date, and each such Scheduled Payment shall be assumed to be immediately
deposited in the Collection Account (or any other Account in accordance with the
terms of the Financing Documents) and, except as otherwise specified, to earn
interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to
continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be
available in the Collection Account (or otherwise) for application, in
accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the
Secured Obligations or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Financing Documents.
(d) With respect to (i) any Project Loan as to which any
interest or other payment thereon is subject to withholding tax of any relevant
jurisdiction or (ii) any Intermediate Funding Loan as to which any payments of
operating expenses of the related Intermediate Funding Entity are deducted from
principal or interest thereon or fees relating thereto, each Scheduled Payment
thereon shall, for purposes of the Portfolio Financial Tests including the
Actual Net Interest Margin, be deemed to be payable net of such withholding tax
or such operating expenses unless the issuer thereof or obligor thereon is
required to make additional payments to fully compensate the Issuer for such
withholding taxes or such operating expenses (including in respect of any such
additional payments). On any date of determination, the amount of any Scheduled
Payment due on any future date shall be assumed to be made net of any such
withholding tax or such
32
38
operating expenses based upon withholding tax rates or such operating expenses
in effect on such date of determination, unless the issuer thereof or obligor
thereon is required to make additional payments to fully compensate the Issuer
for such withholding taxes or such operating expenses (including in respect of
any such additional payments).
(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in
making determinations in respect of the Liquidity Test, the Program Manager will
create projections (i) assuming both a High Interest Rate Scenario and a Low
Interest Rate Scenario for purposes of calculating (1) the projected interest
income on Temporary Investments, (2) the projected payments or amounts to be
received in respect of the Hedging Agreements and (3) the projected interest
payable on the Backup Facility and the Liquidity Facility, (ii) assuming that
(1) amounts credited to the Uncommitted TIP Account are liquidated at current
market levels and used to reduce amounts Allocated, if any, under the Backup
Facility and then are used to redeem Notes and repay draws, if any, under the
Backup Facility, in order of seniority, on the first Quarterly Payment Date of
the Measurement Period and (2) amounts credited to the Committed TIP Account are
invested at the contracted rates thereof until maturity and are reinvested at
three-month LIBOR pending reinvestment into Project Loans pursuant to the
assumed drawdown schedule, (iii) assuming that with respect to committed
Eligible Projects, if any, that are in their construction phase, each draw
occurs one year later than the date assumed in the drawdown schedule, (iv)
assuming that amounts, if any, drawn or Allocated under the Backup Facility are
refinanced with Class A Senior Notes at the rate currently payable on the Backup
Facility and with respect to amounts Allocated under the Backup Facility, the
proceeds thereof are credited to the Committed TIP Account on the first
Quarterly Payment Date of the Measurement Period, (v) assuming that no further
Project Loans are committed to by the Issuer and (vi) assuming that all Hedging
Agreements currently in place and, if applicable, those expected to be in place
following addition of the Project Loan proposed to be added to the Portfolio
Assets are terminated on the first Quarterly Payment Date of the Measurement
Period.

FACILITY LOAN AGREEMENT
SECTION 9.1. Hedging Agreements.
(a) The Issuer will enter into and terminate one or more
Hedging Agreements only to the extent they are consistent with the objectives
described in the Prospectus under the caption "Hedging Agreements" (and shall
deliver to the Collateral Agent original counterpart copies of each such Hedging
Agreement).
(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts due to the
Hedge Counterparties under the Hedging Agreements shall be paid when such
amounts are due thereunder, in accordance with the Priority of Payments or the
Priority of Acceleration Payments, as applicable, and otherwise as provided
under the Security Agreement (it being understood and agreed that payments owing
by the Issuer to any Hedge Counterparty under a Hedging Agreement may be setoff
against payments owing to the Issuer by such Hedge Counterparty under such
Hedging Agreement (but not against any other obligations owing to or by the
Issuer) without regard to the Priority of Payments or Priority of Acceleration
Payments).
(c) Each Hedging Agreement shall provide:
35
41
(i) that such Hedging Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York; and
(ii) that such Hedging Agreement shall terminate at the option
of the Issuer upon the failure of the related Hedge Counterparty to
agree to provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support within two Business
Days after the failure of the senior, unsecured debt or deposit
obligations of the related Hedge Counterparty (or any Person that shall
have absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of such
Hedge Counterparty under such Hedging Agreement) to be rated at least
"A2" by Xxxxx'x and at least "A" by Standard & Poor's.
(d) In the event the Collateral Agent becomes aware that a
Hedge Counterparty has defaulted in the payment when due of its obligations to
the Issuer under the related Hedging Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall
request the Issuer to make a demand on such Hedge Counterparty, or any
guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment by 12:30 p.m., New York time, on

(e) If at any time any Hedging Agreement becomes subject to
early termination due to the occurrence of an event of default or a termination
event, the Issuer and the Collateral Agent shall take such actions (following
the expiration of any applicable grace period) to enforce the rights of the
Issuer and the Collateral Agent thereunder and under the Security Agreement as
may be permitted by the terms of such Hedging Agreement and consistent with the

enter into a replacement Hedging Agreement on substantially identical terms or
on such other terms as would satisfy the Rating Condition. Any costs
attributable to entering into a replacement Hedging Agreement which exceed the
sum of the proceeds of the liquidation of the terminated Hedging Agreement shall
be borne solely by the Issuer and shall constitute expenses payable under clause
(v) of Section 4.1(a) of the Security Agreement or clause (iv) of the Priority

Hedging Agreement, the Issuer will seek quotations from reference market-makers

become effective simultaneously with the entry into of a replacement Hedging
Agreement described as aforesaid.

44
also a Tax Redemption Trigger Date and to the extent the Uncommitted

the redemption of Class B Notes and/or Class C Notes in accordance with
Sections 10.2(a)(ii) and 10.2(a)(iv) on such Quarterly Payment Date;
provided, that, so long as any Sale of any Uncommitted TIP Investment

clause (c) below will be calculated based on the amount referred to in
the immediately preceding sentence;

Tax Redemption Trigger Date and on each Quarterly Payment Date
thereafter, in an amount equal to the Note Redemption Amount.
(b) The Class A Notes shall be subject to mandatory redemption
on any Quarterly Payment Date if a Subordinate Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing and the Holders of
39
45
a Majority of the Class B Notes direct the Issuers to redeem the Class A Notes,
in whole but not in part, at par, provided that no such redemption shall be

Liquidity Facility and all termination amounts paid under the Hedging Agreements
have been paid in full or will be paid in full through the anticipated proceeds
of a sale or liquidation of the Project Loans and the other Collateral and the
Collateral Agent has determined that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or

(c) The redemption price for Class A Notes will be par
(including accrued and unpaid interest) plus the Class A Premium and for the

B Premium; provided, however, the redemption price for a redemption pursuant to

unpaid interest).
(d) Any mandatory redemption, repayment or Premium due as a
result of such redemption but not paid on such Redemption Date shall be payable
on each succeeding Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of
Payments or the Priority of Acceleration Payments, as applicable, to the extent
Collateral Proceeds are available therefor, until all amounts payable have been
paid in full.
SECTION 10.4. Pro Rata Application. Unless otherwise specified
herein, all redemptions of Notes, Support Notes or amounts Outstanding under the
Backup Facility pursuant to this Article 10 shall be allocated on a pro rata
basis according to their respective Outstanding principal amounts among all

Facility, without preference or priority of any kind among the Notes of such
Class (or any Series thereof) or among the Class A Notes and the Backup
Facility.

The limitations on recourse set forth in this Article 11 shall
survive termination of this Agreement and the payment and performance of all
obligations under the Financing Documents.
