AMENDED AND RESTATED SITE LEASE
This Amended and Restated Lease is dated September 17, 1993,
and made by and between PHILADELPHIA THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION,
a Pennsylvania corporation (herein called "Lessor") and GRAYS
FERRY COGENERATION PARTNERSHIP, a Pennsylvania general
partnership (herein called "Lessee").
BACKGROUND TO RESTATEMENT
Lessor, Philadelphia United Power Corporation, formerly
known as United Thermal Development Corporation ("PUPCO"), Adwin
Equipment Company ("Adwin"), O'Brien Environment Energy, Inc.
("O'Brien") and Leasee are parties to some or all of a series of
agreements, each dated November 11, 1991, as follows
(collectively, "Original Agreement"):
(1) Steam Venture Agreement by and among O'Brien, Adwin,
PUPCO and Lessor ("Original Venture Agreement");
(2) Site Lease by and between Lessor and Lessee ("Original
Lease");
(3) Steam Purchase Agreement by and among Lessor, Adwin,
O'Brien and Leasee ("Original Purchase Agreement");
(4) project Services and Development Agreement by and
between Lessee and PUPCO ("Original Development Agreement");
(5) Penn Selection Agreement by and among Lessor, PUPCO,
Adwin, O'Brien and Lessee ("Original Penn Agreement"); and
(6) Dock Facilities by and among Lessor, Lessee and
Philadelphia Thermal Development Corporation ("Original Dock
Agreement").
The Original Agreements set forth the terms and condition
under which Adwin and O'Brien formed Lessee for the purposes of
constructing and owning a Cogeneration Facility (as defined
hereafter), which will be located on a portion of Lessor's
Schuylkill Station site. The Cogeneration Facility will produce
steam and electrical power, and will be operated and maintained
by PUPCO. Steam from the Cogeneration Facility will be purchased
by Lessor for use in Lessor's steam distribution system. The
parties have subsequently agreed to terminate the Original Penn
Agreement.
The Original Agreements contemplated that the Cogeneration
Facility would consist of a Frame 7 Gas Turbine, a Heat Recovery
Steam Generator, a steam turbine and a high pressure auxiliary
boiler with a minimum 500,000 lbs/hour of capacity (No. 6 oil
natural gas. The Original Agreements further contemplated that
the auxiliary boiler would, under certain circumstances, be
constructed on an accelerated basis prior to the remainder of the
equipment described above.
Adwin and O'Brien have now requested, and Lessor and PUPCO
have agreed, that the installation of the Cogeneration Facility
("Project") be restructured in certain ways, including the
development of the Project in two discrete phases, consisting of
(i) installation in Phase I of a high pressure auxiliary boiler
with a 40 megawatt steam turbine ("Phase I Project"), and
(ii) installation in Phase II of the Frame 7 Gas Turbine and
related equipment ("Phase II Project"). The parties intend that
the Phase I Project be completed on an expedited basis.
The parties have further agreed to amend certain of the
Original Agreements and to restate those Original Agreements, as
so amended, in their entity, to reflect the changes to the
Project described above.
Now, Therefore, intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties hereby amend the Original Lease and restate the Original
Lease in its entirety, as follows:

If any policy does not permit such a waiver, and if the party to
benefit therefrom requests that such a waiver be obtained, the
other party agrees to obtain an endorsement to its insurance
policies permitting such waiver of subrogation if it is
available. If an additional premium is charged for such waiver,
the party benefiting therefrom agrees to pay the amount of such
additional premium promptly upon being billed therefor.

and No. 6 oil throughput required for operation of the
Cogeneration Facility on the terms and conditions set forth in
the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E.
(b) All costs and expenses associated with making
No.2 oil available to the Cogeneration Facility shall be the sole
responsibility of Lessee. provided that Lessor shall cooperate in
providing at no charge easements and/or licenses for the
installation of pipes, storage tanks, pumps and related
facilities so long as such installation does not interfere with
Lessor's operations. Any easement or licenses required from PECO
as owner of the Land or from any other party except Lessor shall
be obtained by Lessee at Lessee's expense. and Lessor shall have
no liability of any kind for PECO's or such other party's failure
or refusal to grant any easement. Oil shall only be delivered to
Lessee by truck during emergencies. such as adverse weather
preventing barge delivery.
9.2 Natural Gas. All costs and expenses associated
with making natural gas available to the Cogeneration Facility
shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee provided that Lessor
shall provide at no charge easements and/or licenses for the
installation of pipes and related facilities so long as such
installation does not interfere with Lessor's operations. Any
easement or licenses required from PECO as owner of the Land, or

Lessee's expense. and Lessor shall have no liability of any kind
for PECO's or such other party's failure or refusal to grant any
easement. If Lessee elects to make natural gas available to the

reasonable requirements, and (ii) Lessor shall pay for such
natural gas at the same rate paid by Lessee plus any additional
cost incurred by Lessee for such additional use including a pro

costs, including losses if applicable. If Lessor's existing
Boiler 26 is converted to burn natural gas and oil (or Lessee is
advised in writing by Lessor o( Lessor's intention to so convert
Boiler 26), Lessee shall ensure that the natural gas distribution
pipeline installed to supply the Project, from the
interconnection with an interstate pipeline to the burner tip,
will be of sufficient size so that both the Project (Phase I and
Phase II) and Boiler 26 can utilize natural gas alone when
16
operating simultaneously at their respective maximum output
levels. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Lessor
shall not be obligated to purchase natural gas from Lessee and
Lessee shall not be obligated to contract for or supply natural
gas to Lessor. Lessee shall utilize high pressure gas pipelines
to the extent required by Phase II of the Project and
economically practical. Lessee shall use its best .efforts to
obtain fuel for the Project at the lowest price consistent with
system reliability, long term availability, and the needs of the
Project (as defined in the Amended Project Services Agreement) to
maintain reasonably predictable fuel prices and shall not enter
into any agreements with suppliers that will contain terms 3ore
onerous to Lessee (with consideration for price, contract terms,
duration, reliability and delivery), than are available in the
marketplace at the time any such agreement for fuel is executed
on behalf of the Project. Lessee shall make available to Lessor
all information and documentation with respect to gas purchases
as Lessor may be required to provide to the Pennsylvania Public
utility Commission. In addition, Lessee shall give to Lessor
reasonable prior notice of any meetings, discussions, or
negotiations that Lessee may have with the Philadelphia Gas Works
("PGW") which relate to the Project and Lessor shall be permitted
to attend and participate in any such meetings, discussions, or
negotiations. Lessee shall provide to Lessor copies of all
correspondence and documents related to such meetings,
discussions, or negotiations. Lessee represents. warrants and
covenants that neither Lessee, O'Brien, Adwin nor any affiliate
of any of them (collectively, "Lessee's Group") has executed or
will execute any contract or arrangement in connection with
supplying natural gas to the Project under which any other
property or project owned, operated or controlled by any of
Lessee's Group would receive beneficial terms (including, without
limitation, a more favorable price) gained solely by the Lessee's
Group's acceptance of less beneficial terms for the Project.
9.3 Demineralized Water.
(a) Lessee shall have the right to purchase water
treated at Lessor's existing demineralization plant ("Water
Plant") in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.3. All
modifications, additions or expansions to the Water Plant
required to produce demineralized water for Lessee's use shall be
performed by Lessor at Lessee's sole expense pursuant to plans,
specifications and construction contracts obtained by Lessor at
Lessee's expense and approved in advance by Lessee in Lessee's
reasonable judgment. Lessor shall use its best efforts to secure
regulatory approval to increase the price of steam to recover the
cost of modifying or expanding the Water Plant over the shortest
possible cost recovery period. All significant contracts in
17
connection with such construction shall be chosen from at least
three bids and Lessor shall select the lowest qualified bid.
(b) Lessee shall initially pay the amounts for
demineralized water for Phase I and for Phase II of. the Project
as set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto, such price to increase
proportionately from time to time as Lessor's cost of production
increases ("water Price"). Lessor shall xxxx Lessee for all
demineralized water used by Lessee on a monthly basis. and the
water Price shall constitute Additional Rent. To the extent
reasonably feasible. electricity from the Cogeneration Facility
shall be used to operate the Water Plant and the cost of the
electricity shall be offset against the Water Price. Any
electrical interconnection cost required to enable the
Cogeneration Facility to provide power for the Water Plant or any
other use by Lessor shall be prorated between Lessee and Lessor
based on relative cost savings. Back-up electricity for the
water Plant will be obtained by Lessor, and the expense thereof
prorated between Lessor and Lessee. If Lessor obtains such back-
up electricity from the Cogeneration Facility, Lessor's prorated
portion of the expense therefor shall be offset against the Water
Price.
9.4 Other Utilities. Potable water and sanitary sewer
for Lessee's use shall be supplied by Lessor to the extent
currently available at the Building, provided that Lessor shall
not be liable for any failure to provide such utilities not

used by Lessee or by the Cogeneration Facility based on a sub-
meter, at the same rate paid by Lessor plus any additional cost
incurred by Lessor for such additional use. All billing by
Lessor for electricity shall constitute Additional Rent payable
by Lessee.
(b) As a condition to Lessor's obligations
hereunder, Lessee shall obtain PECO's consent to connecting the
Cogeneration Facility's electric bus to Lessor's electrical
system and provide evidence to Lessor of such consent, such
connection to be paid for by Lessor. When such connection
occurs, Lessor shall pay for electricity at the same rate as PECO
or any other purchasing utility pays to Lessee for electric
power. Any standby charges associated with Lessor'' connection
to the Cogeneration Facility'' electrical bus shall be paid by
Lessor on a pro rata basis.
18
9.6 Cost. The cost of all utilities used by Lessee
shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee and shall be the sole
directly to the supplier (if separately metered) or to Lessor as
Additional Rent upon demand, if not separately metered. All
interconnect costs for all utilities. including any required
demolitions and site modifications. will be paid by Lessee,
except that Lessee shall be responsible only for those
interconnection costs that Lessee would have to incur' if Lessor
elected not to interconnect with the Cogeneration Facility's
electric bus. Such demolitions and modifications will not
unreasonably interfere with Lessor's operations in the Building.
10. Assignment and Subletting.
10.1 Lessor's Consent Required. Except as set forth in
the Amended Project Services Agreement and except for security
assignments to any construction or permanent lender to Lessee or
to any electricity purchaser, Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise
transfer or encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in this
Lease or in the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent,
which Lessor may unreasonably withhold. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without
such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of this
Lease, at Lessor's option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee
may assign this Agreement as security for or as required by any
lender of funds to the Lessee.
10.2 No Release of Lessee. Except as set forth in the
Amended Project Services Agreement, no subletting or assignment,
regardless of Lessor's consent, shall release Lessee from
Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of
Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of Additional Rent
by Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a
waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one
assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by
any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed
directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting
remedies against such assignee. Lessor may consent to amendments
or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee after
notice thereof to Lessee if Lessee is still liable hereunder, and
such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability under this
Lease. No notice to Lessee of such amendments or modifications
shall be required. Any permitted assignee shall assume the
obligations of Lessee hereunder, by a writing satisfactory to
19
Lessor, and a copy thereof shall be delivered to Lessor and to
Lessee.
10.3 Attorney's Fees. In the event Lessee shall assign
this Lease or sublet the Premises (subject to Lessor's consent as
set forth in Section 10.1) or request the consent of Lessor to
any assignment or subletting or if Lessee shall request the
consent of Lessor for any act that Lessee proposes to do, then
Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in
connection therewith.
10.4 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of this Section 10 and the terms of the Amended Project
Services Agreement, the terms of the Amended Project Services
Agreement shall control.
11. Defaults; Remedies.
11.1 Lessee's Major Default. The occurrence of a
Seller's Major Default under the Amended Steam Purchase Agreement
or an Owner's Major Default under the Amended Project Services
Agreement shall constitute a Lessee's Major Default hereunder and
entitle Lessor to terminate this Lease and to re-enter the
Premises. together with all additions, alterations and
improvements. and, at the option of Lessor. remove all persons
and all or any property therefrom. either by summary dispossess
proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law,
without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor (other
than those arising from Lessor's gross negligence or willful
misconduct), and repossess and enjoy the Premises.
11.2 Lessee's Minor Default. The occurrence of any one
or more of the following events shall constitute a Lessee's Minor
Default:
(a) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of
Additional Rent when due or any other payment required to be made
by Lessee hereunder when due.
(b) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform
any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to
be observed or performed by Lessee, other than as described in
paragraph (a) above, where such failure shall continue for a
period of 30 days after written notice thereof from Lessor to
Lessee; provided. however, that if the nature of Lessee's default
is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its
cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee
commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter
diligently pursues such cure to completion.
20
(c) (i) The making by Lessee of any general
assignment. or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) the. filing by or against Lessee of a case or petition to
have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or a case or petition for
reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to
bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a case or petition filed
against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii)
the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the premises or
of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not
restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest.
in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30
days.
(d) The abandonment or vacating of the Premises
by Lessee, which shall include any cessation of operation of the
Cogeneration Facility for a period in excess of ten (10)
consecutive days other than for repair or scheduled maintenance.
11.03 Remedies. In the event of a Lessee's Minor
Default, Lessor shall have the right (i) to collect from Lessee
by legal action all amounts owing with interest at two percent
over Prime Rate (as defined in the Amended Project Services
Agreement), or (ii) to seek injunctive relief.
11.4 Default by Lessor.
(a) Lessor's Events of Default. The occurrence
of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an
Event of Default by Lessor:
(b) The failure by Lessor to observe or perform
any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to
be observed or performed by Lessor. where such failure shall
continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof
from Lessee to Lessor; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessor's default is such that more than 30 days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Lessor shall not be deemed to be in
default if Lessor commences such cure within such 30 day period
and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by
Lessor hereunder, Lessee may exercise Lessee's rights under
Section 6.4(a)-(d), or if such Event of Default is persistent
and is continuing and threatens irreparable harm to Lessee, to
seek injunctive relief. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Amended Steam Purchase Agreement, the Amended
Steam Venture Agreement or the Amended Project Services Agreement
that
21
would permit Lessee to terminate these agreements, Lessee shall
also be entitled to terminate this Agreement.
11.5 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late
payment by Lessee to Lessor of Additional Rent will cause Lessor
to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. the exact amount
of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting
charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the
terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of Additional Rent shall not be
received by Lessor or Lessor's designee or within thirty (30)
days after any such amount shall otherwise be due, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 3% of such overdue amount.
The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair
and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason
of late payment of Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by
Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default
with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder.
11.6 Curing Defaults. If Lessee shall be in default in
the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor,
without any obligation to do so, in addition to any other rights
it may have in law or equity, may elect to cure such default on
behalf of Lessee after ten (10) days' written notice (except in
the case of emergency) to Lessee. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor
upon demand for any sums paid or costs actually incurred by
Lessor in curing such default, including interest thereon from
the respective dates of Lessor's making the payments and
incurring such costs, which sums and costs together with interest
thereon shall be deemed Additional Rent payable promptly upon
being billed therefor.
11.7 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserve to Lessor is intended to
be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law, but
each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or
remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute.
12. Condemnation.
12.1 Termination. (i) If all of the Premises are
taken by a condemnation; or (ii) if any portion of the Premises
is taken by a condemnation and, in Lessor's reasonable opinion,
it would be impractical or the condemnation proceeds will be
insufficient to restore the remainder of the Premises; or (iii)
if any portion of the Premises is taken by a condemnation and, in
22
Lessee's reasonable opinion, the taking is so extensive or
constitutes the taking of a part of the Premises so vital to its
operation that such partial taking has the same practical effect
as a total taking, then, in any such event, this Lease and the
other Project Agreements shall terminate and all obligations
hereunder shall cease as of the date upon which possession is
taken by the condemnor.
12.2 Partial Condemnation. If there is a partial
condemnation and this Lease has not been terminated pursuant to
Section 12.1 hereof, Lessor shall restore the Building and the
improvements which are part of the Premises to a condition and
size as nearly comparable as reasonably possible to the condition
and size thereof immediately prior to the date upon which
possession shall have been taken by the condemnor. If the
condemnation proceeds are more than adequate to cover the cost of
the restoration and Lessor's expenses in collecting the
condemnation proceeds, any excess proceeds shall be retained by
Lessor or applied to repayment of any mortgage secured by the
Premises.
12.3 Award. In the event of a condemnation affecting
Lessee, Lessee shall have the right to make a claim against the
condemnor for removal expenses, business dislocation damages,
moving expenses, and the value of special purpose equipment
installed by Lessee; provided and to the extent, however, that
such claims or payments do not reduce the sums otherwise payable
by the condemnor to Lessor.
12.4 Mortgagee. If the first mortgagee of the Premises
in the reasonable exercise of its judgment deems it impractical
or the condemnation proceeds insufficient to restore the
Premises, the decision of the mortgagee shall be binding upon
Lessor and Lessee.
13. General Provisions.
13.1 Estoppel Certificate. Lessee shall at any time
upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice from
Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a written

be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent
to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance
of rent or Additional Rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a

hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible,
be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

(jointly, the "Demised Premises");
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual
covenants herein set forth, and intending to be legally bound
hereby the parties hereto for themselves, their respective
successors and assigns, agree as follows:

above insurance requirements Lessee shall carry all necessary
Workmen's Compensation Insurance on its own employees and shall
furnish Lessor with evidence of any and all such coverage.
19. ASSIGNMENT: Lessee shall not assign or transfer this
Lease nor underlet the said premises without the written consent
of the Lessor first obtained, except to an entity which
simultaneously acquires and is authorized to operate essentially
all the steam system of Lessee. Any lawful levy, sale, execution
or other legal process or any assignment or sale in bankruptcy,
insolvency or any
14
compulsory procedure, may, at the option of the Lessor, be deemed
and taken to be an assignment within the meaning of this Lease.
20. (a) MAJOR CONDEMNATION: In the event all of the said
premises should be taken by right of eminent domain, for public
or quasi-public use, or in the event of a partial taking which

possession is required by the condemning authority and all
unearned rent and prepaid charges, if any, shall be refunded to
the Lessee and Lessee shall surrender possession of said premises

the consent of the other, and the parties will share the award on
an equitable basis.
15
21. COST OF LIVING INCREASE: Effective with the
commencement date of the Fifth (5th) year of this Lease and every
five (5) years thereafter throughout the initial term or any
renewal or extensions hereof, the annual minimum rent set forth
in Paragraph 6 shall be increased by an amount computed to offset
any net decline in the purchasing power of the dollar, as
reflected in the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index,
hereinafter referred to as CPI, with a minimum rental increase of
15% for each five (5) year adjustment as more particularly shown
in the following examples:
1. April 91 = 160% = 1.185 x $ 98,283 =
April 86 = 135% (New Annual Rental) $116,465
(CPI exceeds 15% minimum increase)
2. April 96 = 180% = 1.125
April 91 = 160% therefore use (1.15) x $116,465 =
(New Annual Rental) $133,935
(governed by 15% minimum increase)
AND SO FORTH
all such figures being stated in terms of a basic dollar value
compared to the CPI Index for the same month five (5) years prior
thereto. These figures will be calculated by Lessor and written
notice will be forwarded by Lessor to Lessee. If the CPI or a
successor or substitute index is
16
not available, a reliable governmental or other non-partisan
publication evaluating the information therefore used in
determining the CPI shall be used. In no event, however, shall
the provisions of this paragraph be construed to reduce the
increase in rental hereunder to an amount less than 15% above the
rental calculated five (5) years prior thereto.
Payments of adjusted hereunder shall be made to Lessor
within ten (10) days after the date of notification said
increases are due in accordance with Lessor's calculations.
22. COST: Throughout this lease agreement, "cost" shall be
understood to compromise all applicable components thereof set
forth in Exhibit "D4" attached hereto.
23. NOTICE AND GRACE PERIODS:
(a) Subject to subparagraphs (b) below, Lessor shall
not exercise any right or remedy provided for in this lease
because of any default of Lessee unless Lessor shall have first
given Lessee written notice of the default sent by Registered
Mail, specifying the nature and extent of it, and (I) in the
event of a monetary default, Lessee shall have failed to pay the
outstanding sums within a period of thirty calendar days after
the date of Lessor's notice of default or (ii) in the event of a
non-monetary default, Lessee shall have failed within a period of
thirty days
17
after the date of Lessor's notice of default to begin correcting
the non-monetary default, and to proceed diligently with its
efforts to cure the default until it shall be fully cured.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, Lessor shall be permitted to make any payment which Lessee
shall be permitted to make any payment which Lessee should have
paid, or perform any act which Lessee should have performed,
without giving any such notice or allowing any part of the grace
period, if Lessor determines, in its sole judgment, that by
reason of default (I) the Station may be jeopardized; (ii) there
is a serious potential for significant injury to persons or
property on or in the vicinity of the Station; (iii) there is
material interference with Lessor's operations on the Station.
24. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE: Subject to the notice and
grace periods provided in Paragraph 23 above, if Lessee shall be
in default in the performance of any of its obligations under
this Lease, Lessor may (but shall not be obligated to do so) cure
such default on behalf of Lessee, and Lessee shall reimburse
lessor upon demand for all costs incurred by Lessor in curing
such default, together with interest thereon at the prime rate of
interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by First
Pennsylvania Bank, National Association, or its successor,
18
which costs and interest thereon shall be deemed to be additional
rent under this Lease.
25. NON-WAIVER:
(a) Neither a failure by the Lessor to exercise any of
its operations hereunder, nor failure to enforce its right or
seek its remedies upon any default, nor the acceptance by the
Lessor of any rent accruing before or after any default, shall
effect or constitute a waiver of the Lessor's rights to exercise
such option, to enforce such right, or seek such remedy with
respect to that default or to any prior or subsequent default.
The remedies provided in this Lease shall be cumulative and the
exercise of one shall not in any way abridge, modify or preclude
any other rights or remedies to which Lessor may be entitled
either at law or in equity.
(b) Neither a failure by the Lessee to exercise any of
its options hereunder, nor failure to enforce its right or seek
its remedies upon any default shall effect or constitute a waiver
of the Lessee's rights to exercise such option, to enforce such
right, or seek such remedy with respect to that default or to any
prior or subsequent default. The remedies of Lessee shall be
cumulative and the exercise of one shall not in any way abridge,
modify or preclude any other rights or remedies to which Lessee
may be entitled either at law or in equity.
19
26. QUIET ENJOYMENT: If the Lessee pays the rent it is
obligated hereunder to pay, and observes all other terms,
covenants and conditions hereof, it may peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises during the term of this
Lease, subject, however, to all the conditions of this Lease.
Failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing covenant shall
give Lessee the right to cancel or terminate this Lease, provided
Lessee gives Lessor notice of disruption of its quiet enjoyment
and gives Lessor thirty (30) days to effect a cure, or in the
event more than thirty (30) days are required, then Lessor shall
begin within thirty (30) days. The foregoing right of
termination shall not be deemed to exclude any remedies available
to Lessee at law or in equity.
27. WAIVER AND DISTRAINT: :Lessee hereby waives all right
to the benefit of all laws now made or hereafter to be made
exempting its personal property from levy and sale for arrears of
rent, and hereby agrees that all of its personal property on said

all of its personal property, if removed therefrom, shall for
thirty (30) after removal, be liable to distress and may be
distrained and sold for said rent in arrears.
28. EJECTMENT: In the event that Lessee (i) fails to pay
any sum of money due Lessor for any reason hereunder,
20
or (ii) takes any action which violates the provisions of
paragraph 13(b) hereof, and in the further event that any such
action has not been cured within the grace period following
notice as specified in paragraph 23 hereof, then this Lease shall
at Lessor's discretion thereupon cease and absolutely determine.
No such termination of this Lease, nor taking or recovering
possession of the premises, shall deprive Lessor of any other
action against Lessee for possession, for rent or for damages,
nor shall any distress or suit for rent or damages prevent Lessor
from proceeding to recover possession on a breach of any of the
terms or conditions hereof.
29. ADDITION CONDITIONS: (a) It is understood by the
parties hereto that the business of the Lessor involves, among
other things, the construction, installation, maintenance,

electricity. The Lessee covenants and agrees (as a specific
condition of this Lease) that Lessee and Lessee's agents,
employees, invitees, and others will not, under any circumstances

21
contact, directly or indirectly any of the said structures,
fixtures, facilities and instrumentalities of the Lessor and
Lessee further covenants and agrees that Lessor shall not be held
responsible for and Lessor is hereby especially relieved from all
liability by reason of injury or damage of any nature whatsoever

Premises.

agrees that Lessee shall not be held responsible for and Lessee
is hereby especially relieved from all liability by reason of
injury or damage of any nature whatsoever to Lessor or to its
aents, employees, invitees, customers and others who are on the
Demised Premises under, through or by the authority of Lessor.
(c) This Lease is under and subject to the right of
Lessor, its successors and assigns, at any time hereafter to
erect, construct, install, operate, maintain, renew, add
22
to, relocate, and remove facilities, and grant easements on, over
and under the Demised Premises as necessary for the performance
of its corporate business and Lessor reserves the right of
continuous access to and from its facilities located upon said
premises and those adjacent thereto. In exercising these rights,
Lessor will endeavor to cooperate with Lessee so as to minimize
interference with Lessee's operations to the extent possible.

facilities, supplying safety inspectors to insure that any work
performed is done in a safe and proper manner, or de-energizing
conductors due to the rental, removal, or maintenance of Lessee's
improvements, then Lessee shall pay for the cost of any such
measures taken by Lessor, it being understood and agreed that
this shall, in no way, relieve Lessee from any liability in
connection with this Lease.
(f) Prior to the commencement of any proposed
improvements or alteration, Lessee shall contact Lessor's

determine what precautionary measures are required. Lessee shall
again contact Lessor as hereinabove required as notice that work
is to commence and to confirm previously made precautionary
measures and other arrangements. Prior approval of Lessee's
plans by Lessor does not constitute notice to or approval by
Lessor for Lessee to commence work on Lessor's property. Lessee
agrees that absolutely no work shall begin on Lessor's property,
initially or at any future time, unless Lessee has made proper
arrangements and given the required notice.

PTDC or PTDC's failure to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement. In the event of any such discharge, PTDC shall
promptly notify PTDC's Fuels Section Dispatcher and take
reasonable measures to effectuate containment or removal of the
GFCP Product. Any such measures taken by PTDC shall be at the
sole cost and expenses of GFCP unless the discharge was caused by
PTDC's failure to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

executed by PTDC in favor of Fidelity, (ii) for the period
beginning November 1, 1997 and ending December 31, 1998, $.50 per
barrel of GFCP Product received at the Dock ("Base Operating
Charge"), and (iii) for any calendar year thereafter, a sum equal
to the product of the Base Operating Charge during the prior
calendar year multiplied by a fraction (not less than one), the
numerator of which shall equal the All Items Index for one prior
Numerator Year (hereinafter defined in Section 5(e)(ii) below)
and the denominator of which shall equal the All Items Index for
November of the calendar year prior to the Numerator Year. The
Estimated Operating Charge shall be based on a calendar year
operating budget ("Budget") for the Costs to be submitted by PTDC
to GFCP on January 1 of each calendar year this Agreement is in
effect (except that the Budget for the first calendar year this
Agreement is in effect shall be submitted by PTDC to GFCP on the
date hereof).
(b) Proportional Share. GFCP's Proportional Share of the
Costs shall be determined annually based on the relative
9
projected annual Product to be handled by PTDC on behalf of GFCP
in relation to the projected annual Project to be handled by PTDC
on behalf of PTEC. GFCP and PTEC shall each provide one another
and PTDC with estimated Project Projections no later than thirty
(30) days before the Commencement Date and thirty (30) days
before the Commencement Date and thirty (30) days before each
anniversary of the Commencement Date of this Lease, and GFCP's
Proportional Share shall be determined by PTDC based on the
amount of projected GFCP Product in relation to the amount of
projected PTEC Product. Within thirty (30) days following each
anniversary of the Commencement Date, the actual Product usage of
GFCP and PTEC for the previous twelve (12) month period shall be
determined by PTDC, and PTEC and GFCP shall thereafter, within
thirty (30) days following receipt of PTDC's determination, make
appropriate adjustments to reconcile any discrepancy between the
amounts paid by each of them based estimated usage and the amount
actually used by each of them.
(c) Monthly Payments. On the first day of each
calendar month during the portion of the term of this Agreement
prior to October 31, 1997, GFCP shall pay to PTDC, in advance,
one-twelfth (1/12) of GFCP's Proportional Share of the Estimated
Operating Charge ("Estimated Monthly Operating Payment").
Thereafter, during the term of this Agreement, GFCP shall pay to
PTDC or its successor in interest, as applicable, the Base
Operating Charge, as adjusted pursuant to Section 5(a) above
within thirty (30) days after receipt of a xxxx therefor ("Billed
Monthly Operating Payment", and together with each Estimated
Monthly Operating Payment, each, a "Monthly Operating Payment").
10
If the date hereof is not the first day of a calendar month,
GFCP' payment of the Monthly Operating Payment for the fractional
month between the date hereof and the first day of the first full

a per diem basis (calculated on a thirty (30) day month).
(d) Monthly Adjustments to Estimated Operating Charge.
Following the end of each calendar month during the portion of
the term of this Agreement prior to October 31, 1997, PTDC shall
furnish to GFCP a written statement ("Adjustment Statement")
showing the actual Costs for a specified period prior to the date
of such Adjustment Statement, which Costs have not been verified
in any previous Adjustment Statement ("Actual Operating Charge").
If GFCP's Proportional Share of the Actual Operating Charge
exceeds GFCP's payment with respect to the period covered by the
Adjustment Statement, GFCP shall pay to PTDC the deficiency
("Deficiency Payment") within ten (10) days after the date of the
furnishing of the Adjustment Statement from PTDC. If GFCP's
Monthly Operating Payment exceeds GFCP's Proportional Share of
the Estimated Operating Charges for the balance of the term of
this Agreement, PTDC shall refund to GFCP the amount of such
excess.
11
(e) Monthly Storage Fees.
(i) Determination of Storage Fee. In addition to
the Monthly Operating Payments and Deficiency Payments paid by
GFCP to PTDC under this Agreemet, GFCP shall pay PTDC a monthly
charge obtained by multiplying the Base Storage Charge
(hereinafter defined) by each barrel of GFCP Product stored by
PTDC in the Storage Tanks ("Storage Fee"). The Base Storage
Charge for the calendar year 1991 shall be agreed to within ten
(10) days after the date of the Agreement, and the Base Storage
Charge for each subsequent calendar year of the term of this
Agreement shall be agreed to by the parties prior to January 1,
of each such calendar year. The Base Storage Charge shall be
consistent with the market commercial rate for storing fuel oil
in the City of Philadelphia ("Industry Rate"), and if the parties
do not agree upon the Base Storage Charge for any calendar year,
either party apply to the American Arbitration Association (in
Philadelphia) for a determination of the Industry Rate, which,
when determined by arbitration, shall be binding upon the parties
(and a judgment with respect to such determination may be entered
by a court of competent jurisdiction) as the Base Storage Charge
for the calendar year in question. Each party hereby consents to
arbitration of the Industry Rate and Base Storage Charge as
aforesaid, and agrees to pay one-half of the cost of any such
arbitration proceeding. The Base Storage Charge shall be
prorated (based on the number of days in the calendar month in
question) as applied to any Barrels of GFCP Product which are
stored in the Storage Tanks for a portion of a calendar month.
12
(ii) Maximum Base Storage Charge. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Paragraph 5(d), in no
event shall the Base Storage Charge exceed (A) $.50 for calendar
year 1991, or (B) for any calendar year thereafter, a sum equal
to the product of the Base Storage Charge during the prior
calendar year multiplied by a fraction (not less than one), the
numerator of which shall equal the Index for November of the
prior calendar year ("Numerator Year"), and the denominator of
which shall equal the Index for November of the calendar year
prior to the Numerator Year.
(iii) Method of Payment. All Storage Fees shall be
billed by PTDC and paid by GFCP fifteen (15) days after receipt
of each monthly invoice.
(f) Separate Calendar Years. Each calendar year of
the term of this Agreement shall be treated separately for
the purposes of the calculations described in this Paragraph 5.
(g) PTDC Purchase of Facility. Upon acquisition of
the Facility by PTEC, PTEC shall assume PTDC's right and
obligations hereunder, and GFCP shall make all payments due to
PTDC hereunder to PTEC.
