shall be adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there

provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such downward adjustments shall
not exceed the aggregate amount of such upward adjustments. Adjustments under
this paragraph (d) shall be (1) made not more than once a year and (2) limited
in the aggregate to the extent necessary such that the aggregate amount of Basic
Rent theretofore and thereafter payable throughout the Basic Lease Term
(computed for such purposes only without regard to any adjustments theretofore
made pursuant to Section 3(e)) shall not exceed by more than 4% the aggregate
amount of Basic Rent which would have been payable throughout the Basic Lease
Term (calculated as aforesaid) had no such adjustments been made.

-4-
6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
of the Owner Participant's beneficial interest in the Trust (whether or not
permitted by Section 15 of the Participation Agreement) or if such Change in Tax
Law would not have been applicable to such transaction had no such transfer

this Section 3 (d); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to the
initial transfer of the Owner Participant's beneficial interest in the Trust to
one of its Affiliates.
(e) Further Adjustments. Basic Rent and the schedules of
Casualty Values, Special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto

Return if there is (i) any Supplemental Financing, (ii) the payment of
Transaction Expenses in an amount which is other than 3.0% of the Purchase Price
or (iii) any other change (other than a change in items 4, 5, 9 (as to the basis

Termination Values attached hereto, pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this
Section 3, the Owner Participant shall make the necessary computations and
furnish to the Lessee, the Loan Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture
Trustee the revised amounts and percentages, which amounts and percentages shall
be implemented upon delivery thereof and effective as of the date of occurrence
of the event requiring such adjustment (taking into account any payment of Basic
Rent already made) and shall remain effective until changed in consequence of
any verification procedure set forth below. Such revised amounts and percentages
shall be subject to verification (at the Lessee9s request within 90 days after
the Owner Participant furnishes the revised amounts to the Lessee, the Loan
Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee) by the Owner Participant's
nationally recognized independent public accountants, in which case such
accountants shall either (i) confirm to the Lessee in writing that such revised
amounts were computed on a basis consistent with the original calculations, or
(ii) compute and provide to the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the
-5-
6091.CHASEU1.LEASE.47:1
Loan Participant and the indenture Trustee revised amounts and percentages which
are on such a basis. The revised amounts and percentages, as so confirmed or
computed if applicable, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Lessee, the
Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee.
The cost of any such verification shall be borne by the Lessee unless such
accountants shall require an adjustment to the revised amounts and percentages
originally provided by the Owner Participant which differs by more than 10% from
the adjustment so provided, in which case such cost shall be divided and paid by
the Lessee and the Owner Participant in equal amounts. Each adjustment pursuant
to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 3 may, but need not, be evidenced by the
execution and delivery of a supplement to this Facility Lease in form and
substance satisfactory to the Lessee and the Owner Participant, but shall be
effective as provided herein without regard to the date on which such supplement
to this Facility Lease is so executed and delivered. Any adjustment referred to
in this Section 3 shall satisfy the provisions of Revenue Procedure 75-21,
Revenue Procedure 75-28 and any other applicable statute, regulation, revenue
procedure, revenue ruling or technical information release relating to the
subject matter of Revenue Procedure 75-21 or Revenue Procedure 75-28, but, in
the case of any upward adjustment, shall be no less than the oadjustment
otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.
(g) sufficiency of Basic Rent arid Supplemental Rent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Facility Lease, any other
Transaction Document or any Financing Document (i) the amount of Basic Rent
payable on each Basic Rent Payment Date shall be at least equal to the aggregate
amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on all Notes
then Outstanding and (ii) each payment of Casualty Value, special casualty Value
and Termination Value shall in no event be less (when added to all other
amounts, other than Excepted Payments, required to be paid by the Lessee under
this Facility Lease in respect of any Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event or
termination of this Facility Lease) than an amount sufficient, as of the date of
payment, to pay in full all principal of, and premium, if any, and interest then
due on all Notes Outstanding on and as of such date of payment (taking into
account any assumption of the Notes by the Lessee).

Property Interest may, if it shall so elect, demand that the
Lessee pay to the Lessor and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor

Basic Rent Payment Date to the date of actual payment) and upon
receipt of such payment the Lessor shall (or may prior to the

that the Lessor may not exercise the foregoing remedy if the
Lessor shall have failed to Transfer the Undivided Interest and
the Real Property Interest to the bidder (which shall not be the
Lessee or an Affiliate of the Lessee) that shall have submitted
the highest cash bid on or before the date on which such Event
of Default arose excluding, however, any such cash bid which the
Lessor or the Owner Participant determines was not submitted in
good faith, or as to which the bidder fails to certify to the
Lessor such information as the Lessor or Owner Participant may
reasonably request in order to determine whether or not such bid
was submitted in good faith (and the Lessor agrees that it will,
if and to the extent so requested by the Lessee on or after the
-41-
6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
date 90 days preceding such last Basic Rent Payment Date, use
reasonable efforts (at the expense of the Lessee) for a period
ending on the day 90 days after such last Basic Rent Payment
Date, to find a Person willing to submit such cash bid;
provided, however, that the failure of the Lessor to do so
shall not relieve the Lessee of its obligations under this
clause (vii)).
(b) No Release. No rescission or termination of this
Facility Lease, in whole or in part, or repossession of the Undivided Interest
or the Real Property Interest or exercise of any remedy under paragraph (a) of
this Section 16 shall, except as specifically provided therein, relieve the
Lessee of any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder. In addition, the
Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above, for any and all
unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the
foregoing remedies, including all reasonable legal fees and other costs and
expenses incurred by the Lessor or the Owner Participant by reason of the
occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of the Lessor's remedies with
respect thereto. At any sale of the Undivided Interest, the Real Property
Interest or any part thereof pursuant to this Section 16, the Owner Participant,
the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee may bid for and purchase such property.
(c) Remedies cumulative. No remedy under paragraph (a) of this
Section 16 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other remedy provided under such paragraph (a) or otherwise
available to the Lessor at law or in equity; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Facility Lease, the
remedy set forth in section 16(a) (vii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
under this Section 16 in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause
(iv) of Section 15, unless the Lessee is in default of its payment obligations
under Section 16(a) (vii), in which case the Lessor may exercise its other
remedies under Section 16(a); (except that the maximum amount payable by the
Lessee in the event of the exercise by the Lessor of any of the remedies
provided for in Section 16 (a) (v) or (vi) shall not exceed the total amount
payable by the Lessee under Section 16(a) (vii) minus the amount provided in
subclause (2) of clause (A), (S) or (C) of such Section 16(a) (v) , if the
-42-
6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
Lessor elects a remedy specified in said clause (A) , (S) or (C) , or the
deficiency referred to in Section 16(a)(vi), if the Lessor elects the remedy
specified in section 16 (a) (vi) hereof) . No express or implied waiver by the
Lessor of any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or be
construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of
Default. The failure or delay of the Lessor in exercising any right granted it
hereunder upon any occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth herein shall
not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or recurrence of
any such contingencies or similar contingencies and any single or partial
exercise of any particular right by the Lessor shall not exhaust the same or
constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein. To the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, the Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter
conferred by statute or otherwise which may require the Lessor to sell, lease or
otherwise use the Undivided interest or Unit 2 in mitigation of the Lessor's
damages as set forth in paragraph (a) of this section 16 or which may otherwise
limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights and remedies provided in this Section
16.
(d) Exercise of Other Rights or Remedies. In addition to all
other rights and remedies provided in this Section 16, the Lessor may, except to
the extent expressly limited by provisions of this Section 16, exercise any
other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Law or
proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for the breach hereof.
(e) Special Cure Right of Lessee. In the event a "Notice of
Default" is given under Section 15(iii), the Lessee may, on or prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default resulting therefrom, give written notice to
the Lessor stating that the Lessee has elected to exercise the option (the Cure
Option) provided in this Section 16(e), which election shall be irrevocable as
to the Lessee. Promptly after the giving of such notice, the Lessee and the
Owner Participant shall agree upon the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided
Interest and the Real Property Interest or, if they shall be unable so to agree
within one month after the date of the Lessee's notice, such value shall be
determined by the Appraisal Procedure. On the Basic Rent Payment Date next
following the date that such Fair Market sales Value shall have been determined,
-43-
6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date,
plus an amount equal to the excess of (i) the greater of such Fair Market sales
Value and the Casualty Value determined as of such Basic Rent Payment Date over
(ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Notes Outstanding on such date after
giving effect to the payment, if any, of the principal installment due and
payable on such date. Upon compliance in full by the Lessee with the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph (e) and assumption by the Lessee of all the
obligations and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and the
Notes pursuant to Section 3.9(b) of the indenture1 the Lessor shall (so long as
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) Transfer
the Undivided Interest and the Real Property interest to the Lessee. If the
Lessee shall not have assumed all the obligations and liabilities of the Owner
Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes in accordance with Section 3.9(b) of
the indenture, but the Owner Participant shall have received under Section 5.2
of the indenture all amounts required to be paid by the Lessee pursuant to this
paragraph (e) (including interest, if any, thereon pursuant to Section
3(b)(iii)), the Lessor shall retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property
interest subject to the terms of this Facility Lease and Section 7(b) (4) of the
Participation Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation of the Lessee to
pay further Basic Rent shall be reduced to an amount on each Basic Rent Payment
Date equal to the aggregate amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued
interest then payable on all Notes then Outstanding and this Facility Lease
shall become a security agreement for all purposes of Applicable Law. The Lessee
agrees to use its best efforts to comply with the conditions respecting its
assumption set forth in Section 3.9(b) of the 'Indenture and, failing such
assumption, agrees to accept a transfer of the Owner Participant's right, title
and interest in the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 7(b) (4) of the
Participation Agreement.

made by it, or shall fail to perform or comply with any of its other agreements
contained herein, or fail to make any payment to be made by it under any ANPP
Project Agreement, or shall fail to perform or comply with any of its other
agreements contained in any ANPP Project Agreement, either the Lessor or the
Owner Participant may, but shall not be obligated to, tender such payment, or
effect such performance or compliance, and the amount of such payment and the
amount of all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' and
other professionals' fees and expenses) of the Lessor or the Owned Participant,
as the case may be, incurred in connection with such payment or the performance
of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest
thereon at the Penalty Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by the
Lessee upon demand. In the event that the Lessor or the Owner Participant shall
cure any default by the Lessee under the ANPP Participation Agreement, then (so
long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Lessor, together
with each other Person contributing to such cure, shall be entitled (to the full
extent enforceable in accordance with Applicable Law) to receive the Generation
Entitlement Share of the Lessee under the ANPP Participation Agreement (not
limited to Unit 2), with each contributor to receive a percentage of such
Generation Entitlement Share equal to the percentage of the cure contributed
thereby.

interest, such leasehold to be coterminous with the lease of the Undivided
Interest hereunder and to be at a rent per annum equal to the respective
percentages of the Real Estate investment for the applicable period set forth or
derived from the respective percentages of Facility Cost in clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii), respectively, of Section 3(a) hereof (which rent is incorporated as
part of Basic Rent payable pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof).
SECTION 22. Amendments and Miscellaneous.

may not be waived, altered, modified, amended, supplemented or terminated in any
manner whatsoever except by written instrument signed by the Lessor and the
Lessee.

warranties contained in this Facility Lease and the other Transaction Documents

survive the expiration or termination of this Facility Lease. The extension of
any applicable statute of limitations by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant or any

Lease which may be determined by competent authority to be prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective

remaining provisions hereof or thereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
